Lin Haifeng sent Fran to negotiate with Wen Yu, and at this moment, his intentions were undeniably clear—at the very least, Wen Yu didn't flip the table on the spot.
Old Man Fran perhaps felt a bit embarrassed, awkwardly smiling at Wen Yu, lacking any confidence as he explained, "After all, it's a limit-breaking ability..."
"This is something nobody wanted; only then did you bring it to me, right?"
Wen Yu unceremoniously revealed the truth—limit-breaking abilities are in high demand, and the military surprisingly being able to present one was beyond Wen Yu's expectations.
However, upon seeing the skill description, Wen Yu quickly realized that this worthless thing was something that even the military didn't want and could only use it as a trade item.
Old Man Fran fell silent.
After a long pause, Wen Yu let out a heavy breath and then stashed the Heavenly Origin Breathing Technique into the Spatial Ring, saying, "This worthless thing is priced as an SSS-level skill, equivalent to the value of the dark sovereign; take it or leave it!"
"Of course, we’ll take it!"
Old Man Fran quickly agreed. This Heavenly Origin Breathing Technique was truly unwanted, and being able to offload it at the value of an SSS-level skill could even mean a profit for the military.
Wen Yu then asked, "Is that all? Just this?"
"Do you want magic crystals?"
Wen Yu decisively shook his head; he absolutely had no shortage of magic crystals.
Old Man Fran shrugged.
"Then that's it."
Wen Yu still wasn't satisfied, "What about skill upgrade scrolls or revival items? Anything useful to me would do!"
Fran smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Really, that's all. Skill upgrade scrolls are hard to come by, and revival items are few; as for anything useful to you, those are all items the military keeps as trump cards. Not to mention whether we have any, even if we do, how could we easily trade them?"
"Oh..."
Wen Yu heavily pinched his forehead and then waved his hand, decisively retrieving the Stellar Summoning Technique that was previously placed among the trade items back into his Spatial Ring—what the military offered simply wasn't enough! Even if Wen Yu adhered to the principle of contributing to humanity, their offer still fell short!
A slight loss was acceptable, but just giving it away? Sorry, Wen Yu couldn't get over that hurdle within himself...
Fran was also an understanding person and spoke to Wen Yu in a negotiating tone, "Look, how about this: for these three skills, we can exchange two SSS-level skills and one foundation-level skill. I’ll trade you for something, and the rest, you give us a little time."
"I can give you a definite value for these items you've laid out; you'll at least still get five foundation-level skills or items with limit-breaking abilities from the military. We can't consume everything at once, so we can continue negotiations next time."
Old Man Fran's proposal was relatively sincere, so Wen Yu nodded.
Seeing Wen Yu's response, Fran finally breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to the group behind him. In no time, the soldiers and researchers behind Fran had sorted out a large number of Job Change Scrolls and technical data.
The Job Change Scrolls were specifically for the array mage profession, along with all the exclusive skills for supporting professions—this accounted for roughly one-fifteenth of the total scrolls in Wen Yu's possession.
The technical data being taken was seamlessly compatible with the current technology of the Huaxia military—this was also the greatest utility of the "professionals" behind Old Man Fran.
The items taken comprised less than one-tenth of the total trade items, and in terms of value, it was fair. Thus, Wen Yu collected the sorted other data and items from the ground and categorized them into his Spatial Ring, then signaled to Fran that this trade was complete.
Seeing this, Fran waved his hand, allowing the soldiers and researchers behind him to take the technical data, leaving only the two of them in the cabin.
