Arknights is too real, right?

This time the Origin Stone escort went very smoothly, so smoothly that Xia Feng felt that Black Steel International was at a loss.

Of course, everyone will have this mentality, especially when buying products such as risk protection. From an objective point of view, the best result is that nothing happens along the way.

A few days later, the convoy successfully arrived at the border of Sargon. The king's army had already been prepared at the border. After the rendezvous, the army secretly escorted them to Tuge City, the largest city in the west of Sargon.

At the garrison base in Tuge City, 3,000 finished Source Stones were successfully handed over. The king sent the so-called chief diplomat of the country to discuss the transaction and follow-up cooperation in detail.

Xia Feng is not good at this kind of thing. In fact, it can't be said that he is not good at it. It's just that he doesn't know what to talk about. In his eyes, this transaction is just for money, but the person who initially took over the business was Wei Na, on the other hand, if we want to talk about it, Weina should go and do it.

As he had guessed before, a country as big as Sargon would not be short of money. After communicating with Nancy and confirming that the money had been received successfully, Xia Feng sat back in the car and waited for the return journey.

Wei Na and the diplomat also talked very quickly. Xia Feng originally wanted to listen together, but Wei Na refused. She probably talked about something more sensitive.

This doesn't mean that Wei Na doesn't trust him. Everyone has secrets. Even if they are close friends, some secrets are not suitable to be told. Just like he himself has never told Wei Na that he comes from another world.

If it can't be solved, then speaking out will only add unnecessary troubles. Wei Na should also have this consideration. If she needs to let herself know one day in the future, it means that she needs help.

The political situation in Sargon is very chaotic, and the war is urgent. The official has no time to receive him formally. Of course, this is what Xia Feng hopes. In short, the lower profile the better.

This cooperation is a secret for both parties. The Sargon royal family can use this Source Stone to replenish and strengthen the army, catching the rebels by surprise, and Black Feather can get a large sum of money.

It's better for everyone to keep a low profile when they get the advantage.

The conversation between Wei Na and the diplomat ended quickly. She sat back in the car and the escort team was about to return.

Wei Na and Xia Feng were sitting in the same car, and the car was traveling through the streets of Tuge City. For some reason, she looked a little confused.

Xia Feng asked aloud.

"Vina, what's wrong? Did the negotiation not meet your expectations?"

Vina shook her head.

"No, it went very smoothly. I got all the promises I wanted."

"Oh, that's good."

"kindness."

As the largest city in the west of Sargon, the internal construction of Tuge City can only be described as shabby. Even in the city center, there are no buildings with more than ten floors on both sides of the streets. Some of the roads are cracked and there are muddy puddles. .

Occasionally, the pedestrians passing by looked flustered and walked quickly, and the whole city was filled with an indescribable sense of depression.

Vina's voice came.

"Has the money been confirmed?"

Xia Feng replied immediately.

"Confirmed, everything is here."

Weina looked at the city street scene outside the car window and said leisurely.

"If the entire 2.5 billion tera coins are used in urban construction, Tuge City will probably take on a completely new look."

Xia Feng didn't say anything. He probably understood what Wei Na wanted to express.

Vina continued.

"This country is going through a war. Compared with Victoria, it is a completely different world, one heaven and one hell. The people here are worried every night, fearing that the war will burn down their homes when they wake up in the morning. Counting the days in fear, this is war."

"Vina?"

Vina looked out the car window.

"Heaven represents the highest place. People living in heaven have long forgotten what hell looks like. However, this heaven may be false. It is not as eternal as imagined. Heaven and hell may be reversed in an instant. At that time, those views will be different. Things like treasures can be easily destroyed."

Xia Feng didn't know why Wei Na suddenly felt this way, but looking at her face and listening to her words, Xia Feng actually felt a trace of sadness, just like in a story destined to become a tragedy, its protagonist is still helpless. Fighting against fate.

At this moment, Xia Feng had never been so sure of his mission, or perhaps of what he wanted to do.

He cannot save everyone, and some people are not worthy of his saving. He has things that he regards as treasures. Even if heaven and hell overlap, he will protect these treasures, and only the treasures that belong to him.

At any cost.

After the escort mission was completed, Captain Rota of Black Steel parted ways with Xia Feng directly in Tuge City. Black Steel had other action teams in Sargon, and they would rush there to join them.

For Black Steel, war is a common occurrence, and war-prone countries are like dining tables. Since the word "international" is marked, it means that Black Steel has no position, at least on the surface.

After Captain Rota left with Black Steel's men, Xia Feng didn't want to stay in this broken country for even a minute. He didn't even eat a meal, so the vehicle left the city directly and returned to Victoria along the route it came from.

A few days later.

The escort team returned to Hapi City. At this moment, the transaction was successfully completed, and there was no mole. It is gratifying and congratulatory.

The golden autumn mood is fading away, all the leaves have already fallen out, and before you know it, winter has arrived.

Because he had been busy with orders for the past half month, Xia Feng didn't notice the change of seasons. Now that he was done, he realized that it was really damn cold today.

Black Feather Grill.

Ifrit stood next to Xia Feng's desk, a small red flame rising on her palm.

"Hey, Yo-Yo, how are you? Are you warm?"

"Well, not bad, not bad."

"What about the playground you promised me before?"

"Don't worry, it's not a lie this time. I will definitely keep what I promised you. I will find someone to arrange it soon."

"yeah!"

The artificial fire disappeared, and Ifrit ran out jumping to share the good news with Turtle and Ergou.

Xia Feng stood up, took the information and walked to the finance room, preparing to discuss "sharing the spoils" with Nancy.

Now that he has 2.5 billion in his account, he is a real billionaire. However, having too much money makes him feel less real. On the contrary, he is not as excited as when Richie gave him a 100,000 red envelope.

"Nancy, have you calculated the statistics?"

"The statistics are over, please see if they are correct."

Looking at the information printed by Nancy, Xia Feng checked the amount on it.

Although he made 2.5 billion this time, not all of the money belonged to him alone. Apart from the Source Stone cluster provided by Wei Na Gao, more than half of it was supported by his friends.

First, Lin Hai provided 400 finished Origin Stones at a price of 350,011, and a total of 140 million had to be transferred to Haimen Gang.

Yi Nanxue provided natural source stone clusters. The covenant had previously agreed to give him a processing fee of 50,000 yuan. Based on the number of these source stone clusters processed, Xia Feng paid the same price as the Haimen Gang, 350,000 yuan, plus Xia Feng transferred a total of 250 million to him for the gold he brought.

Black Steel provided 800 finished Origin Stones. Ogur said generously that 350,000 for 1 stone would be fine, but he needed to pay off all the arrears of action fees. Xia Feng naturally agreed to this request. He had not settled before. Because he really has no money and must settle it now.

After calculation, a total of 400 million will be transferred to Black Steel.

After settling all the money from his friends, he only had 1.7 billion left. The goods collected by Lishu in Casimir cost more than 200 million in total. The raw materials collected by Vina at high prices also cost nearly 200 million. Including Yi Nanxue's rare gold, the total processing cost of one source stone has exceeded 60,000, not counting labor and transportation costs.

Of course, this time the order was put together urgently. When we find a stable international trading partner in the future, the cost of raw materials can be reduced by at least half.

But no matter what, he made a lot of money this time, with a net remaining of more than 1 billion on hand, which all belonged to him and Wei Na. Wei Na promised not to give up the money, and only gave the raw material money and Source Stone Cong's money. Just settle the money.

Looking at the long string of zeros on the account, it seems that the work for more than half a month was not in vain.
