There was silence for a while, before Ai Fan exclaimed, "This, so many? But, it's not necessary at all. I'm just asking you a question or looking at the scene. You know I'm very happy to help you. "Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Xiao Ai Fan has obviously calmed down.
Luo Xiaolou didn't correct Ifan's words, what else could he expect when he was with the pirate leader Arthur, Luo Xiaolou just smiled and said: "I understand that you are willing to help me, but, Aifan, this is You deserve it. Believe me, I need your help with more things in the future. If you don't agree, I'll have to find someone else."
Xiao Aifan hesitated for a while, and agreed. He hoped to help Luo Xiaolou manage the material base, so that he could learn a lot. In this case, he will work hard to do more things in the future. Ai Fan has always been very confident in himself, even without Arthur, he can support himself well. For cultivation materials, he can learn from Luo Xiaolou and Bai Heng. As for the usual planting management, you can also ask for help. Anyway, with Arthur around, no one in the Gray Galaxy dared to fool him.
Luo Xiaolou was very satisfied, and said while the iron was hot: "Then you ask me first, how many years can I rent at most? How much is the rent?"
The Aifan brand messenger pigeon ran to Arthur for a while, and came back to report to Luo Xiaolou: "Arthur said five years, after five years, if both parties have the intention, they can continue to renew the lease. Regarding the rent, it is said that Look at the size of the rented area."
This is a little troublesome, Luo Xiaolou thought about it, and said: "Ai Fan, I have only been there with you once, and I am not familiar with it, can you tell me about the surrounding terrain, it would be better if there is a real scene .”
Ai Fan said cheerfully: "This is easy to handle. When Arthur and the others expanded, they had already recorded the panorama of the city's periphery. Wait a minute, and I will pass it on to you." The picture was sent over, and Luo Xiaolou gave a detailed explanation. He usually goes to that area often, and he is very clear about the surrounding terrain, soil quality and vegetation.
After careful questioning, Luo Xiaolou selected five of the hills. After the selection, he realized that he seemed too greedy. After comparing for a long time, he was reluctant to give up any place. Maybe the materials on those five mountains are not very advanced yet, but the soil, terrain and even the climate are quite good, suitable for the growth of many kinds of materials, even high-grade materials can be cultivated well. Coupled with the high yield and high quality of gray galaxy materials, if there is such a huge material supply library, the profits obtained in the future will not be calculated.
Ai Fan went to ask Arthur again for Luo Xiaolou, who was in a dilemma, and came back to tell Luo Xiaolou the rent.
"These five mountains cost 250 million yuan per year, and the five-year rent is 1.25 billion yuan." Ai Fan said hesitantly.
After hearing the rent, Luo Xiaolou was stunned, and his enthusiasm for materials immediately subsided. Only then did he realize that he only thought about renting out the place, but forgot about the issue of rent. He didn't expect it to be such a large sum of money. Although he was not short of money in the past two years, he hadn't saved any money—especially with the joint efforts of him and 125.
After hesitating for two seconds, Luo Xiaolou became ruthless and said: "I see, Ai Fan, you told Arthur that I want to rent this place, so please keep it for me. But I have to collect money first, and I will rent it tomorrow. Will contact you again."
"Okay." Ai Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't tell Luo Xiaolou. Arthur said that if others rented it, it would cost at least 300 million yuan a year, and the price for Luo Xiaolou was much lower. He was still worried about Luo Xiaolou. There are too many buildings.
Turning off the communicator, Luo Xiaolou pondered, 120 million, even if he doesn't have 100 million now. He earns a lot now, but spends more. Recently, he has become more interested in collecting advanced materials and reinforcements, so Luo Xiaolou really doesn't have much money in his hands.
"Hey, will you rent that piece of land?" A muffled voice asked, it was 125 who lowered his face and prepared to reconcile with Luo Xiaolou.
"Well, I'm very tempted, but I don't have any money." Luo Xiaolou sighed, and touched 125's big head with sympathy while talking. At this moment, he understood the reason for this guy's obsession with materials. Mood, "This time, even if you want to secretly help me decide, there is no money to use."
125 immediately raised his tail, and shouted at Luo Xiaolou depressedly: "Only that one time! You still remember! You narrow-minded foster child!"
"...Okay, I promise I won't mention it again. If I really rent this land, I can plant your snake vine there, and maybe we can get the holy juniper vine later."
In the end, Luo Xiaolou, helpless, thought of the card that Yuan had put in his place.
That night, seeing a table of unusually sumptuous dinners, even Yuan Xi gave Luo Xiaolou a surprised look.
"... With that look on your face, is there something going on today?" Yuan Xi looked at Luo Xiaolou who was looking at him with unusually affectionate eyes, and asked cautiously before eating for the first time.
The smile on Luo Xiaolou's face was even more flattering, and he said while picking up vegetables for Yuan Xi: "That's right, I want to rent a piece of land to plant materials, which can save a lot of material costs, and of course there may be some income. But that place Rent is expensive, and I—can I use the money on that card of yours?"
Yuan Xi seemed to be choked, and stared blankly at Luo Xiaolou. Luo Xiaolou felt extremely guilty, but for the sake of materials, he still bit the bullet and continued: "It's about 120 million, this It's just the rent. Do you want some wine with your meal, honey? This wine goes with the steak…”
While explaining the situation, Luo Xiaolou tried his best to please Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi finally came to his senses, interrupted Luo Xiaolou, stared at him and asked, "Isn't the money I gave you not enough?"
"Of course it's enough..." Luo Xiaolou replied immediately.
"Then you can transfer the money directly. If you don't have any, tell me again. Why do you have to bring it to the dinner table?" Yuan Xi asked in surprise.
"But—that's the money you earned. I should discuss it with you when I spend such a large amount of money." Luo Xiaolou blinked and said in more surprise, the topic seemed to turn in another direction unconsciously ran away...
After hearing Luo Xiaolou's words, Yuan Xi froze for a moment, then made a serious expression with red ears, affirming Luo Xiaolou's report, "Well, yes, you are right, this is very important. For some big decisions, you should consult with the head of the family. I agree, as long as you buy materials or household related, you can use it. However, even if it is my money, I am a man, so I should not be responsible Do you support these?"
"...Okay." Luo Xiaolou sensibly did not point out the fact that he is also a man, and continued to swallow his breath and whispered: "There is one more small thing, that place is in the gray galaxy—hey, you said you agreed, what are you doing? ?”
That night, after the two had an in-depth exchange both physically and mentally, Yuan Xi finally agreed.
Luo Xiaolou planned to go to the Gray Galaxy himself, but Yuan Xi was worried and went with him. Before going, Luo Xiaolou bought a lot of material seeds from Tiandong at a high price, ranging from low-grade to high-grade, with high-grade seeds accounting for the majority.
At this time, Luo Xiaolou realized that the procedure to go to the gray galaxy was so cumbersome. Fortunately, Yuan Xi used various privileges to help him get it done. Arthur received them.
Yuan Xi accompanied Luo Xiaolou to see the five hills in person, and found that the actual site was bigger than the panorama picture, the soil quality was better, and there were many materials growing on the hill itself. Luo Xiaolou was very satisfied, and immediately transferred Arthur's rent for five years.
After Luo Xiaolou's investigation, he finally decided that the trees on the mountain should be preserved as much as possible, and he opened up land in the open space of each area to plant materials. He also planned suitable areas for different materials according to various conditions.
After doing these things, it is time to ask someone to plant them. At this time, Bai Heng came, and he helped to find many experienced apprentices, and explained the precautions for cultivating various materials. Soon, the material base began to be busy.
In addition, Luo Xiaolou also surrounded a large area with a wall on a mountain. The snake vine was planted inside, and Luo Xiaolou planted it himself. It was said to the public that it was an experiment, and Luo Xiaolou asked Ai Fan to take care of the materials inside.
During the gray galaxy, Luo Xiaolou went to see Master Mu. Although he did not have the name of master and apprentice, Master Mu taught Luo Xiaolou a lot of things after all. Luo Xiaolou also brought some recently completed fourth-level parts.
When Luo Xiaolou left, Master Mu touched the latest fourth-level parts, and sighed to the assistant beside him: "In a few months, with the same level of parts, his progress is so obvious. It seems that my original The choice was really right.”
Because Luo Xiaolou and Yuan Xi still had to go to school, their vacations were limited, and the rest of the work was handed over to Ai Fan, who said it was Ai Fan, but in fact it was mainly Bai Heng and Arthur who were helping behind. According to Arthur, Ivan is one of them anyway. Ivan's income is equal to their income.
Before Luo Xiaolou left, he transferred another 500 million federation coins to Ai Fan for management and operation expenses. The materials and seeds on the mountain are far from enough, so it is best to buy some locally in Gray Galaxy. As for the cultivation methods of seedlings of various materials, Luo Xiaolou left a chip, and Bai Heng can also help a lot.
After arranging his future material base, Luo Xiaolou went back to Planet Ansai with Yuanxi contentedly.
At this time, on the planet Ansai, someone was anxiously waiting for him.
The cause of the incident was Kailu, a soldier from the military department. When he went in to tidy up Luo Xiaolou's studio, he found a neat row of parts on the workbench.
Although Kailu just came here and doesn't know much about these parts, he can tell that these parts are high-end products.
He immediately reported to his superiors and brought over a person in charge of the laboratory.
The person in charge was also taken aback. Originally, the prince and concubine coming to the military headquarters in the future was an arrangement from above. It's just that there are more geniuses coming to the military, and whoever comes here doesn't work hard from the bottom. So after Luo Xiaolou came, not many people really paid attention.
Although they didn't pay too much attention to it, the military department was very generous to the young geniuses they brought in, and they could use all the materials at will, which was also to hone their skills. However, the military did not expect these newcomers to come up with finished products. Even if he can make a contribution to the military department, it will be a year or two later.
However, there are not only high-end finished products on Luo Xiaolou's table, but also a lot of them. The person in charge picked up a part and checked it, and suddenly found that these parts were quite familiar, just like the parts that the lieutenant general asked them to find a few days ago.
Kailu was still waiting for instructions from the person in charge, only to see the person in charge rushing out the door with a few parts in a hurry.
The person in charge handed over the parts nervously, but the lieutenant general flipped through them casually at first, then widened his eyes after a few seconds, and shouted angrily, "That's right, it's that kid, let me take him out." bring it here!"
