CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 152 NEW TRADING PLAN_2

The assembly fell silent; it was evident that the two big shots must have come to an understanding.

The subsequent meeting basically revolved around that foundation, continuously discussing and refining the details to optimize the plan.

One hour later, the meeting concluded.

Not long after the meeting ended, Ye Feng received the military’s official response from the giant panda.

They would meet again tomorrow morning to discuss the details of the deal.

Ye Feng naturally had no reason to refuse such a request, and he readily agreed.

...

The next morning.

Ye Feng was in a good mood; after a day’s effort, all the animals under his command had made breakthroughs.

The Mutated King Cobra broke through to the late stage of Third Order, and both the Big Yellow Dog and the Mutated Eagle had reached mid-stage Third Order.

In addition, the batch of animals he had contracted from the zoo were also making successive breakthroughs to the late stage of Level 2.

If everything went smoothly, they would all reach Third Order by tomorrow morning at the latest.

At that time, the top combat power of Dragon Hall would see a great increase.

More importantly, he was finally going to find out which of the animals brought from the zoo had the innate talent to make their own breakthroughs.

With time to spare before the agreed meeting, Ye Feng harvested another wave of Spiritual Energy, turning it into Spirit Fruits, and sent them to his contracted animals as well as their subordinates.

After completing these tasks, he even had some free time to casually surf the internet for a while.

When it was almost 8 o’clock, he switched to Avatar Status in the Mutated Parrot and went to greet the convoy arriving at Sunset Valley.

Now, Ye Feng no longer cared about revealing that Sunset Valley was his headquarters.

Soon three military off-road vehicles stopped on the road in front of the valley.

Then, more than ten people got out one after another.

Only two of them were guards; the rest were negotiators.

Clearly, this was also an attitude deliberately shown by the Yang City side: Look how much we trust you, we didn’t even bring much security this time.

"Parrot Messenger, we meet again," Zhang Ji said with a smile, as he extended both hands enthusiastically.

The Mutated Parrot extended a wing and shook hands with him in a gesture of protocol, "Hmm! I hope our meeting will be pleasant."

"Haha, don’t worry about it. Rest assured, we have come with a lot of sincerity this time," Zhang Ji said, laughing while he subtly glanced at Jian Yi next to him.

Yes, as the chief of staff, Jian Yi was also hiding his identity, following the negotiation team over.

On one hand, he wanted to see the Mutated Beings for himself and try to determine the true strength of Dragon Hall.

On the other hand, he was unwilling to accept the truth and still didn’t believe that the Spirit Fruits were made by that Dragon King, hoping to find some clues through this transaction.

Seeing that Jian Yi gave no sign, Zhang Ji continued: "To show our sincerity, we are willing to share some information before the transaction."

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, "Is it about the restricted area?"

He was aware of everything around Yang City, and they should know that he had the ability to surf the net and could find out about the global situation on his own.

Thus, what they were sharing had to be confidential matters, which made it easy to guess.

"Haha! Parrot Messenger is indeed prescient!"

After complimenting Ye Feng, Zhang Ji continued: "Indeed, after we reported the information about the restricted area yesterday, the higher-ups organized a nationwide exploratory mission and soon discovered two more restricted areas within our country’s borders."

As he spoke, Zhang Ji took a tablet computer from the hands of a staff member next to him; a national map was already open on it.

"One of these restricted areas is near the capital, and the other is near Mount Everest."

"The scope of these two restricted areas is 4 to 5 times larger than Small Phoenix Mountain here. The military went to great lengths just to barely secure the peripheries of these areas," Zhang Ji said, unable to help but let out a slight sigh.

The larger the area, the harder it is to control. Based on what he knew, nearly three armored divisions had to be mobilized to barely manage the blockade of these two restricted areas.

Ye Feng didn’t say much, as he saw it as normal.

Had he not discovered the anomaly at Small Phoenix Mountain in advance and dispatched the Animal Army to Small Phoenix Mountain for a lockdown immediately, the restricted area of Small Phoenix Mountain would have likely expanded several times over.

Seeing that the Mutated Parrot showed no reaction, Zhang Ji got straight to the point, "The military has already conducted preliminary explorations of the two restricted areas and discovered that these areas are different."

"Different? What are the differences between them?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

This was different from his previous conjecture!

"The restricted area near the capital contains not the Power of Corrosion, but another strange kind of power."

"When the military used animals for experiments, the white mice sent into the restricted area had their fur fall off rapidly, followed by their skin, flesh, and bones, until they turned into a sticky gelatinous substance and then disappeared without a trace."

Ye Feng’s expression grew solemn upon hearing this; it was clear the restricted area was equally bizarre, and even he wasn’t certain whether his Life Energy could withstand it.

"What about the restricted area near Mount Everest? What’s the situation there?" Ye Feng pressed on.

"The white mice sent into that restricted area quickly shrivel up after death. When we retrieve their corpses for dissection, we find that underneath the skin there is nothing left – no flesh, no bones, nothing." Zhang Ji said this, shivering involuntarily.

If these restricted areas were to expand, either one would be a calamity for humanity.

"So, how long will it take for your new type of thermobaric bomb to be developed?" Ye Feng inquired.

"Very soon, if all goes well, it could be delivered this afternoon," Zhang Ji replied.

"That quickly?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Mhm, mainly because the research institute in the capital took over." Zhang Ji didn’t hide anything and spoke directly.

"Then I hope the test this afternoon will achieve the desired effect."

After saying this, Ye Feng finally got down to business, "Now then, let’s talk about the Spirit Fruit. What kind of price are you thinking of?"

"We’re willing to buy Spirit Fruit for 2 million Huaxia Currency each," Zhang Ji immediately said.

"Huaxia Currency? Didn’t I say before that what I need are Mutated Beings?" Ye Feng looked at the other party with some confusion; he couldn’t believe they would make such a basic mistake.

"As you know, relying solely on Yang City, the variety of Mutated Beings we can offer Dragon Hall is limited."

"For example, the 1,000 Mutated Beings we owe you, we plan to pay back with Mutated Dogs."

Ye Feng nodded in understanding; he was very aware that, at present, the most numerous Mutated Animals in Yang City are Mutated Cats and Mutated Dogs, likely totaling no less than 10,000.

Therefore, it didn’t surprise him at all that they wanted to use these to pay off their debt.

But now, it seemed as though there was a better way, a way for him to acquire other types of Mutated Beings?

While speaking, Zhang Ji had been observing the Mutated Parrot’s expressions.

Noticing a flicker of interest in its eyes, Zhang Ji struck while the iron was hot, "You should know that, actually, every city’s laboratory imprisons some Mutated Beings to varying extents."

"Ordinary people can’t get close, let alone purchase them. But if Yang City Official steps in to buy, that won’t be an issue."

"You ought to know that not just our Yang City possesses a zoo."

Hearing the last phrase, Ye Feng was truly moved.

The quantity of Mutated Beings was one of the limiting factors in Dragon Hall’s future development, especially powerful Mutated Beings.

After all, he couldn’t magically produce tigers, lions, elephants, and such Mutated Beings out of thin air.

And now, a method was laid out right in front of him.

Ye Feng forcefully contained his excitement and asked with a calm tone, "Interesting, tell me about the specific process, how does it work?"

"Today, we’ve had the Yang City Research Institute reach out to most of the domestic research institutes to inquire what Mutated Animals they can sell."

"This list we’ve compiled includes each animal’s price."

"Whatever Mutated Animal you want, we’ll help purchase it on your behalf, of course, this will require Huaxia Currency."

"That’s the reason I proposed buying Spirit Fruit with Huaxia Currency. What do you think?" Zhang Ji said with a smile.
