Darkness dares to sell, and there are always buyers! Ye Zhongming couldn't help but admire the energy that people here could harness in reality.
Motherships are not merely a matter of three hundred million Moon Age Gold, but an investment worth countless billions in the future. Just the control personnel on the mothership, according to Ye Zhongming's understanding, exceeds three thousand people.
Three thousand lives with various specialized skills, even if you don't train them, just hiring them would cost an astronomical amount each cosmic year. Plus, you have to add fuel, maintenance, consumables, and so on. Just the maintenance costs alone every year are not something an ordinary person can afford.
It is certain that in reality, the races that can own a mothership are all super large clans. So the person who has just bought this mothership is also a powerful figure within a super clan, perhaps even the clan leader!
Ye Zhongming felt a surge of emotions in his heart.
This is the height he will inevitably reach one day.
Ye Zhongming cannot afford a mothership, and similarly, he cannot afford the 'Zhuanghao' level battleship, which has a price tag of eighty million Moon Age Gold, along with potential usage and maintenance costs that could reach over a billion. This is simply not something the current King of Cloud Summit can attempt.
Just like the mothership, after being available for purchase, five out of eight Zhuanghao-level battleships were snapped up in an instant.
After that, the quantity of other types of aircraft saw a sharp decline. By the time ten minutes passed, only one mothership and a little over twenty other aircraft remained.
The sale of one hundred and fifty aircraft had already surpassed the billion-level threshold. This kind of large transaction was something Ye Zhongming was witnessing for the first time.
The King of Cloud Summit looked at the remaining twenty or so aircraft and thought for a moment before pointing to purchase.
Two 'Sky Mist', four 'Heavy Tide', two 'Luo Fu', and five transport ships.
These battleships cost Ye Zhongming over thirty million Moon Age Gold.
Of course, this was not all for Ye Zhongming himself. The Sky Mist and Heavy Tide classes were intended as gifts for the Su Clan.
In his heart, Ye Zhongming was grateful to this super clan. From Jie Su to Yao Han Su, and then to Huo Zhi, all had treated Ye Zhongming kindly, almost meeting his every request. The relationship between them had evolved from an initial interest-based partnership, bonded by Jie Su, to a true partnership.
For the Star Eye Clan and Ye Zhongming, they had lost an elder, many excellent formation masters, and one elder had fallen into a coma.
Ye Zhongming remembered all of this.
And then there was the significant favor of constructing the Cloud Summit Manor's second phase for free, which was a huge benefit. The value of the items Ye Zhongming gave them, like Luo Zixin, was far from enough.
In this cosmic conflict, the Su Clan had lost a fleet, and these battleships could be seen as compensation for their losses.
Of course, Ye Zhongming was not without selfish intentions. He estimated that a portion of the battleships he bought would end up in the fleet controlled by Jie Su.
He planned to keep the Luo Fu level ships and the transport ships for himself—he could use them.
After Ye Zhongming's purchase, about ten ships remained unsold, but A02 showed no intention of continuing the promotion and moved on to the next item.
"Everyone has probably seen the one hundred million Moon Age Gold bounty regarding the exact cause of Kunz's death. What I’m about to discuss is related to this."
For some reason, when A02 mentioned this, Ye Zhongming felt like he had been observed.
"Kunz died, and he had a piece of divine level equipment, the Fallen Saint Bow, which also disappeared. Therefore, someone has entrusted me to find the whereabouts of the Fallen Saint Bow or directly purchase it."
After saying this, A02 immediately explained, "Everyone can rest assured, this is not a fishing expedition to draw out anyone related to Kunz's death. This person really needs the Fallen Saint Bow."
