The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What are you doing here!"

At the Tianjing Group base, Dong Pengfei was startled to see Lu Yuan suddenly appear, and then became wary.

Night owls only come to the house when they have something to do.

If you think about it, since Lu Yuan came to the Northern Wilderness, Tianjing Group has had several dealings with him. He never came out on top; their base alone has been destroyed two or three times.

Every time Lu Yuan appears, it's never anything good.

Even Gu Sansheng suffered a major setback here, and that was without Lu Yuan's presence.

Dong Pengfei quickly glanced outside, fearing that Lu Yuan would bring back the No. 1 experimental subject again. After all, it had only been a few days since the last destruction, and some parts of the base were still under repair.

Although both parties had signed a non-aggression pact, Dong Pengfei considered it just a piece of paper that could be torn up at any time, and who knew what Lu Yuan might suddenly do.

"Why are you so agitated? We're allies now. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Lu Yuan smiled, then spoke seriously.

"Actually, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."

"Business?"

Looking at Lu Yuan, Dong Pengfei became even more wary, sensing that there might be a trap.

"What business can you and I discuss?"

"Big business!"

Lu Yuan spoke with feigned seriousness, then proceeded directly to his point.

"As you all know, I own two mines, and now I want to sell one of them. The energy-absorbing mine is a collaboration with the Shen family, and I can't make that decision on my own, so I can only sell that coal mine."

"Selling the coal mine?"

"Yes, but only the seven of you can afford it. I thought we had the best relationship, so I came to talk to you first."

"What a load of bull!"

"Didn't we just sign a non-aggression pact?"

"You and the Ye family are still allies!"

Dong Pengfei waved his hand, too lazy to argue with Lu Yuan about this issue anymore, and then let out a cold laugh.

"Everyone in the Northern Wilderness knows that your coal mine has been taken over by the Extreme Martial Arts School. I knew you had a scheme up your sleeve. What do you mean by selling it to me? You just want us to be your free henchmen and drive the Extreme Martial Arts School out of the mine, don't you?"

"Don't worry, this is such a small matter, I wouldn't trouble anyone else."

Lu Yuan gave a cold smile and said directly.

"After the transaction is completed and signed, I will personally kick the people from the Extreme Martial Arts School out, and you can move in directly."

"We don't need to retake it ourselves..."

Dong Pengfei was taken aback, frowning as he looked at Lu Yuan, completely bewildered.

Given Lu Yuan's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to drive the Extreme Martial Arts School out of the coal mine, so Dong Pengfei naturally had no doubt.

What puzzled him was whether Lu Yuan really intended to sell the coal mine.

Those are precious mineral resources!

Currently, transportation costs are still relatively high due to distance, but even so, it can already generate huge profits.

Once the city of North Kan is established, the demand for coal will inevitably increase significantly, and the value of this coal mine will rise even further, making it no exaggeration to call it a gold mine.

In fact, everyone believes that the coal mine should be temporarily sealed off and only started mining after the establishment of the North Kan Citadel in order to maximize profits.

Lu Yuan is just digging away like crazy, it's such a waste!

"Are you really willing to sell that coal mine?"

Although he was very suspicious, the temptation was too great. Dong Pengfei looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously and asked again to confirm.

"certainly!"

Lu Yuan nodded, his gaze extremely firm.

He chuckled inwardly, realizing that Dong Pengfei hadn't received the news yet.

He had just finished speaking with the younger generation of each family about the beast calamity. Although Lu Yuan's Blood Shadow Escape technique allowed him to travel back and forth quickly, Han Xiaobing of Tianjing Group should have already returned. Surprisingly, he didn't immediately inform Dong Pengfei, the person in charge of the Northern Wilderness, of this news.

Indeed, the greatest obstacle for humanity is the lack of unity and the ulterior motives of each individual.

Regardless of Han Xiaobing's intentions, this only made it easier for Lu Yuan to negotiate a higher price.

After all, the key to negotiation is simply knowing the bottom lines of both sides.

"How many do you want to sell them for!"

"I don't want money."

"Of course I know that. What resources do you need?"

Dong Pengfei chuckled and asked directly.

Money alone doesn't mean much to them, since there are many things that money can't buy.

What they want are resources!

In Dong Pengfei's opinion, Lu Yuan's willingness to give up such an important coal mine must mean that he urgently needs some kind of scarce resource.

He was also puzzled as to what resources Lu Yuan needed and what use they were for, even going so far as to dig out a coal mine.

"I need the equipment!"

"……What?"

"Equipment! Various missiles and other weapons of mass destruction!"

"no……"

After hearing what Lu Yuan said and seeing his serious expression, Dong Pengfei was completely dumbfounded.

equipment?

Equipment is hardly a scarce resource!

Moreover, it's a firearm. As is the consensus among martial artists, equipment made from the body parts of high-level demonic beasts is the top-tier equipment.

As for firearms, they're just children's toys.

Although Tianjing Group focuses on technological research and development and is the most reliant on firearms among the seven major martial arts groups, it does not prevent them from looking down on firearms.

Lu Yuan brought out his precious coal mine, only to exchange it for thermal weapons.

"Are you kidding me?"

Do you think I have that much free time?

Lu Yuan looked serious, then pulled out a list, which was a list of the various weapons and equipment he needed.

Looking at the list and then at Lu Yuan, Dong Pengfei was dumbfounded again.

This kid is serious!

Regardless of Lu Yuan's motives for the moment, judging solely from this list, this kid has quite an appetite.

Even if they get the coal mine, they won't be able to break even without mining for several years.

Of course, even so, this deal is guaranteed to be very profitable.

Of the seven companies, only Tianjing Group was able to provide this equipment, and deliver it immediately.

Dong Pengfei was tempted; could he take this opportunity to lower the price?

But on second thought, this might be a price Lu Yuan specifically offered to Tianjing Group. For other companies, it would probably be a different deal.

"What do you need so many weapons and equipment for?"

It's inconvenient to talk about Lu Yuan's motives since we don't know them.

"Fight monsters."

"ha?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's calm expression, Dong Pengfei frowned again.

In this desolate northern wilderness, what else can weapons and equipment be used for if not fighting monsters? But the key question is, does Lu Yuan need them?

Their base's formation is like a tortoise shell; not only demonic beasts, but even they themselves suffered a great loss last time.

"Actually, I want to build some more outposts, but we don't have enough manpower."

If he didn't give Dong Pengfei a reason, he wouldn't feel at ease. So, Lu Yuan had no choice but to make one up for him on the spot.

"There's no other way but to learn from your model and enhance our military strength with various firearms."

"so."

"As you know, the North Kan Fortress is imminent. I can't just rely on one base. I need to establish more outposts so that I can take over more territory later."

"Ha, you've got quite the ambition, kid."

"There's no way around it. Being a son-in-law of the Shen family isn't easy. If I don't make something of myself, I'll really become a live-in son-in-law, and that old man Shen Fuyue will really make my son change his surname to Shen."

"Hehe, I understand, I can understand."

Dong Pengfei smiled, feeling much relieved. But after a moment's thought, he spoke with some concern.

"If you use our equipment against us, wouldn't I be aiding the enemy?"

"Don't we have a non-aggression pact?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said directly.

"I can allow you to leave a backdoor, but if I use this equipment against you, you can just lock it down from the back end!"
