New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 141 Million-dollar Contract
"Next, I should go find Miss Grady for help."

Although the time difference was not much, this meeting with Buyadi felt very short, much shorter than the previous "normal process".

Lei Ye was a little sad.

What was sad was not that he witnessed Buyadi's death again, but that he gradually lost the pain of her death. However, at the same time as being numb, he tried hard to put on a sad face to her, which in a sense was not much different from acting.

This was really a very strange thing. Just when he had finally made up his mind to save her absolutely no matter what, he became indifferent to the process of her death.

Buyadi seemed to have noticed some changes in Lei Ye, but she didn't say anything much. She just gave him what he should do, as always.

She died in Lei Ye's arms and her body grew cold. This time, Lei Ye put her body into a separate storage bag.

Magic Castle.

The action concept for this week has not yet been fully determined.

Sekbosi provided him with a method: use romance to gain Grady's trust, get the handle on her, then go back to the beginning and force her to help.

Lei Ye did consider doing so, but after going through Angeli's save file, he changed his mind. Sometimes things are not that complicated. When dealing with these high-level demons, it is better not to play with the human relationships and just talk it out.

This method can be used as a last resort.

So Lei Ye knocked on the door and walked in slowly. Perhaps because this place was some distance away from the Demon King's Castle, the maids inside didn't even know that Buyadi had been beaten for the past two days. They were just doing what they were supposed to do. Instead, they were a little surprised by Lei Ye's sudden visit. The head maid immediately led Lei Ye to sit down in the reception room.

A few minutes later, Grady, looking tired, walked in and sat on the chair opposite Lei Ye on tiptoe.

"It's not finished yet. There are a few functions that we want to install. You can come back to pick it up later," Grady said straight to the point without any politeness. She took a sip of coffee and raised her eyebrows at Lei Ye. "Or you can come and help. Scorched Earth really can't find an assistant as good at making magic items as you."

"You want me to do the work myself for the goods I pre-ordered. You are quite good at business," Lei Ye bared his teeth, "but I am not here to pick up the goods this time."

He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Let me be frank. Buyadi is in big trouble right now. Can you help me?"

That's right, just ask directly. Anyway, she doesn't know that Buyadi is dead. If she shows willingness to help, Lei Ye can go back immediately, find her when Buyadi is still alive and ask the same question.

Lei Ye was a little nervous, but Grady nodded immediately.

"Okay."

Lei Ye was surprised at first and then happy.

Look, this is a very simple matter, there is no need for such complicated operations.

But then Grady sat up straight, the atmosphere of chatting with friends disappeared, and she crossed her legs in a very imposing manner.

"Tell me what you want me to do for you, and then we can talk about the price."

"Money?" Lei Ye was stunned.

In his eyes, saving Buyadi is a world-saving event. It is not affected by personal emotions. According to the words of the Holy Sword, it can be known that there is indeed some connection. How can a major event of this level be related to money?

It's like in a certain kingly story, the brave hero finally arrived at the Demon King's castle after going through untold hardships. Along the way, he grew from a villager to a real brave hero. He got the power but lost his partner. Finally, he stood in front of the final boss and was feeling excited. At this moment, a plane flew over his head. The pilot said, "Hi, the king has recharged a million gold coins and bought some bombs from a neighboring country. Take care of them." Then the bombs flew down and killed the Demon King in one breath. What would the brave hero standing in front of the Demon King's body think?

He took a deep breath and repeated the question in a more serious tone, "Money?"

"Nonsense, can you ask me to do something for free? Just like this set of armor, I am at least a big criminal, a well-known figure. Why should I work overtime to make this thing for you if you don't pay me?"

Row.

It's reasonable. It's natural to spend money to get things done. There's nothing wrong with it.

Lei Ye was a little speechless at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was a good idea and started looking for money in his storage bag.

To be honest, after saving so many files, he really couldn't remember how much savings he had. It was less than he had imagined. After spending all his money, he only had about five large gold coins.

Grady looked at the coins of all sizes on the table and shook her head.

"not enough."

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't told you what I need your help with yet. This is five hundred thousand, and it's not enough just by asking?" Lei Ye, who was thinking about how to get more money, panicked because all the cash he had was already on the table.

"What do you mean by five hundred thousand? Five large gold coins are not enough for me to pay," Grady frowned, "and Buyadi needs help from others, it must not be a small matter, this is a fair price."

It's over. If she knew that she had to face an enemy who could kill Buyadi, let alone whether she would run away, the price would have to go to the sky.

"Can I buy it on credit? I'll pay you back later. Buyadi is quite rich." Lei Ye slumped down with a bitter face.

"No credit. Also, please explain clearly what you are going to do. The more you try to cover up the situation, the more difficult it will be for me, okay?"

"Okay, okay," Lei Ye sighed, "To put it simply, I actually need the fighting power of you, the Great Sin. Buyadi has been captured by four knights and cannot be defeated. I am looking for help to save her."

"She can't even beat Buyadi? Then she'll just run away."

"It's too complicated to explain, just tell me whether you want to do it or not."

After that, Grady was silent for a long time, her beautiful legs in black stockings swinging under the table. She seemed a little annoyed. She tapped the table with her slender knuckles, the frequency gradually increasing, and finally stopped suddenly.

"It'll cost more money," Grady said, emphasizing each word. "It'll cost a lot more money."

"You can say that, which means you treat her as a brother. My Buyadi is so lucky to have subordinates like you," Lei Ye sighed, and then began to take things out of the storage bag. "How about this, I don't have any cash, so I'll trade you the patent. As we're both engineers, it's easier to talk about this. You can see how much these things are worth. If it's suitable, I'll sell them all to you."

Lei Ye grinned as he took out the things. He still felt very painful. If he really sold these things to Grady in the real timeline, then his extra income after retirement would be gone and he could only rely on the money from fried rice to make a living.

However, since he paid such a huge price, I think the rich woman Bu Yadi would be happy to support him.

Among the things Lei Ye took out, there were one or two of the latest products, which made Grety's eyes show surprise for a moment, but she suppressed the surprise in the next moment. She looked at those little gadgets, opened her mouth from time to time, but held back her words of admiration.

Lei Ye pushed the thing over casually, and Grady nodded and started to check it.

This process took quite a long time. Several times she forgot to maintain her queen-like negotiating demeanor and immersed herself in feeling the craftsmanship of these small objects. But when she came to her senses, she would cross her legs again. Finally, after checking these things one by one, she gently reached out and pushed them back.

"not enough."

Lei Ye realized that what she meant by "not enough" this time was actually that she finally started to negotiate the price.

So Lei Ye's face became gloomy and he made a painful expression as if he was going to sell his child.

“I’ll add my recipe for the ultimate egg fried rice”

"No, no, no, who wants that stuff?" Grady waved her hands. "Although your food is indeed delicious, I'm not interested in cooking. I'm an engineer and a businessman. Making money with magic items is my thing. Eh? Your egg fried rice seems to be quite profitable. It feels like it can squeeze all the slime juice out of that kid Gratini."

She was mumbling something nonsense.

At this moment, Grady suddenly knocked on the table, as if she had made a final decision.

"I've decided that in exchange for all your intellectual property rights and your own right to use them for a hundred years, I can help."

"No, buddy," Lei Ye was unwilling to hear this, "Aren't you being too mean? Besides, you still want my right to use it, do you think I'm from Ed?"

"It's expensive for a reason, you won't regret it," Grady crossed her arms and leaned back, looking like she was sure of victory. "Brother, brother, you made a mistake. The business world is like a battlefield. You shouldn't be so impatient during negotiations, or the other party will see that you are in urgent need of this thing, so they will hold on to the price. I said this to teach you a lesson, but you can rest assured, at least you can buy what you want from me, as long as you have enough money and fighting power!"

Lei Yexin said, "I didn't make any mistakes. I was just here to test the waters in the first round. If you want to do this to me, I will go back and start over."

But he didn't rush to drink the purple sand. He quietly took out a bottle of wine and slowly poured it into his mouth. To be honest, the problem in this round was actually the easiest to solve.

Money.

For Lei Ye now, it is not a difficult thing to deal with.

But if he went to get the money first and then came to find Grady, it would be a waste of time. He thought about what Holy Sword had said before. There were already too many things to do in the real event line. Time was both infinite and limited. He couldn't allocate too much time to making money at the beginning of the new save file.

He thought about it for a long time and came up with another plan, or an amount of money.

"One million." Lei Ye said suddenly.

"What?" Grady was stunned. She didn't understand why Lei Ye suddenly said such a large number.

"One million gold coins, a flat price. This is the reward I can pay you."

Grady was stunned again. She was shocked by this number and the calmness with which Lei Ye said it.

At the same time, she began to calculate the purchasing power of the money in her mind. For a moment, she was a little confused and couldn't even analyze how much money it was.

Lei Ye's calculation was very simple. The purchasing power of one large gold coin was equivalent to RMB 10,000, so one million large gold coins were equivalent to 10 billion. In his world, there must be companies with a value of 10 billion in economically powerful countries, but in this world, such a sum of money was a bit exaggerated.

After a while, Greti suddenly reacted and stared at Lei Ye, "Are you lying to me?"

"I'm serious. Answer me first. If I give you one million, will you do it?"

This time, Grady answered straightforwardly, "Do it! Anything!"

Lei Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

He really meant it.

Of course, he couldn't take out one million in cash. That was almost a mountain of gold, and even an ordinary storage bag couldn't hold it. However, Lei Ye had a way to prove that what he took out was worth a million.

Vision Crystal.

Lei Ye put this thing on the table.

"I won't go into detail about the function of this thing. You can check it out. It is in good working order and has not been tampered with. I can use it to prove to you that the value of what I'm handing over to you may be more than one million."

Grady pondered for a moment, not quite understanding what Lei Ye meant.

But in the end, she made a decision in her heart and reached out to Lei Ye.

That's a deal.

Lei Ye stretched out his hand to shake it, but after that he didn't touch the illusion crystal at all. He walked out straight. Grady stared at his back in confusion, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after just a few days of not seeing this young devil, he has changed a lot. He has become a friend or opponent that she needs to take seriously.

She wanted to see what this man was going to do, so she followed him out. Lei Ye chose a good place, which was the magnificent throne in the hall. He sat on the bottom step and took out tools from the storage bag.

Grady suddenly realized that Lei Ye was going to make something on the spot, and he changed the place because he thought there was not enough space in the reception room. She was inexplicably excited. This person had given her many surprises, and she didn't know what kind of valuable magic prop he had to rush to make and show her.

But her tone of voice was light, "You can use my studio."

Lei Ye raised his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

After taking out the tools, there was no movement of his hands. Lei Ye just sat there silently, playing with the tools in his hands and taking a sip of wine from time to time.

Grady narrowed her eyes.

The other party doesn't want to make something temporarily, but to create something temporarily!
The admiration in her eyes turned into respect. She waved her hand to let all the maids retreat quietly. She also moved a little distance away and watched Lei Ye work quietly.

Lei Ye first thought of a good thing.

He took out the radio in his hand and played with it for a while.

The communication in this world is really underdeveloped, if everyone had a mobile phone, the demon king over there would not be stabbed to death while the maid here is still leisurely making tea.

So the first product to be considered should be this thing, the mobile phone.

The one given to Grety is the one in my hand. In fact, I didn't spend too much time thinking about it. I focused on practicality and didn't consider the appearance much. But if it is to be used as a product, it will have to be carefully crafted.

Lei Ye tried hard to recall the stone tablet operated by the counter lady he had seen in the Explorers Guild. There was something similar to an operating system on it. In other words, the mobile phone system could be adjusted.

The biggest bottleneck of technology is that we cannot be sure whether it can be realized. Now that we know it can be done, everything is easy.

Of course, Lei Ye definitely couldn't make a touch-screen phone, but when he took out the Mirage Crystal just now, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration. Since it can be projected, he can completely find another way.

The holographic projection phone was even more advanced than those in his memory.

This job was not difficult, it just required genius creativity. After he had an idea in his mind, he started to work on it. He moved quickly and ignored Grady, whose eyes were becoming brighter and even a little admiring.

"I'm planning to start a company," he said without raising his head.

".Company?" This word seemed unfamiliar to Grady.

Lei Ye didn't explain and concentrated on fiddling with the things in his hands.

A small thing that looks like a keyboard is made with great effort to be exquisite and beautiful, and it is indeed unique in beauty.

He pressed a button and the projection appeared before his eyes.

It became.

Of course, there was no app or anything like that. This was just a bare prototype, but Grady was so excited that her whole body was shaking. She watched Lei Ye operate the whole process and thought hard to catch up with Lei Ye's thinking, so she knew the purpose of this thing.

The moment she saw it being successfully activated, Grady was so moved that she covered her mouth and almost cried. She vaguely realized that an era that would make engineers great again was slowly beginning, on this ordinary afternoon when Lei Ye asked her for help.

"Oh my god, Lei Ye," she said with a trembling voice.

Lei Ye was a little absent-minded at the moment, as if he was concentrating on finishing a math test. His brain was a little lacking in oxygen, and he was still thinking about the "company".

After all, we need to raise so much money, and we cannot do it by relying on ourselves alone. We need to expand the scale.

This company.
Thunder Wild Thunder.
Just call it rice.

Just as Lei Ye made up his mind, he heard someone calling him.

"Leino.? Are you listening?"

"Don't call me that again."

Lei Ye stood up, casually put his new product into his pocket, and glanced at the woman who was extremely excited.

"Call me Mr. Lei."
