Chapter 299: Butcher on the Move

Either the people were in fear or had some kind of expectations; these were indications that a world was slowly becoming chaotic.

Qin Mang successfully contacted his disciple, Yawei.

The man was very interested in the device capable of bringing a significant improvement to the defensive capabilities of a warship.

When he learned that Xia Feis warship had defeated nine enemy warships during the Golden Finger Cup with the help of the energy-shield booster, he could no longer contain his excitement.

As a soldier, he was very passionate about every product that might improve the strength of his army.

The interplanetary internet was surprisingly smooth these past few days, especially the connection between the Death Trio Star Region and the Alliance.

Yawei personally gave Xia Fei a call to ask about the energy-shield boosters.

“The old man told me everything.

You are trying to increase your armys strength desperately, yet you dont really have the funds for it now.

Thats going to be a little tricky,” Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said thoughtfully.

Yawei wore an awkward face.

He did not have many funds in his hands despite being a warlord.

He had paid the weapon smugglers with the remaining funds.

After all, the region was at war, so he had to improve his armys strength first.

Buying weapons had always been money-burning; the ammo and spare parts alone had already cost him a fortune.

“Im a man of my word.

If you can give me some time, I promise Ill do everything to get the money to pay you.

Master knows me well.

He can be my guarantor,” Yawei said.

Xia Fei nodded.

“Brother Yawei, you are the old mans disciple, and Im his subordinate.

We are basically one family, so I definitely trust you.

The old man must have shown you the clip about the event.

What do you think about the energy-shield boosters”

Yawei said, “According to the data collected and how the match went, I believe that the system can improve a warships defense by around thirty percent.

Its a must-have during a war.”

Xia Fei smiled.

“Thirty percent Thats only a theoretical value.

Im not trying to boast, but its practical effects are better than the theoretical value.”

“Why so” Yawei asked.

Xia Fei said, “You should know that the thirty percent increase is only when a single energy-shield booster is installed.

Try guessing the number of energy-shield boosters I installed during the event.”

Yawei was shocked.

“Are you saying that its possible to use the energy-shield boosters in combination”

Xia Fei pressed the cigarette on the ashtray to put it out and said seriously, “Exactly, you can combine the energy-shield boosters into a defensive array, but the second energy-shield booster is less effective than the first.

The second one only has a seventy-five percent efficiency, and the third one only has a fifty percent efficiency compared to the first.”

“A warship can have at most four energy-shield boosters and form a shield depending on the warships energy output and its computation power.

Try to calculate how much is that going to improve the warships defense by”

Yawei was shocked.

The possibility to improve a warships defense by thirty percent was already insane.

If four of the devices could be combined to improve the energy shield further, it was not even exaggerating to refer to it as a godly device.

“Seventy percent,” Yawei said through clenched teeth.

Having four of the energy-shield boosters was enough to improve a warships defense by seventy percent.

No one had ever achieved such a great feat before.

Yawei was deeply shocked by how useful the energy-shield boosters were.

“I know warships arent the only thing lacking in the Black Abyss but well-trained soldiers, too.

With a better defense, the survivability of your soldiers is going to increase.

Youve spent years on training these soldiers.

If anything happens, the new recruits clearly wont be as reliable and strong as the old soldiers.

“A greater defense will even help you to secure the final victory.

Terminus and Evil Gulfstream have teamed up against the Black Abyss.

I bet that you and your men are under great pressure.”

Xia Fei calmly hinted at the benefits of the energy-shield boosters.

As a commander, Yawei easily figured out the benefits of the energy-shield boosters.

The truth was that he was very fond of the energy-shield booster, which was capable of increasing a warships defense, but he had been short on funds lately.

He was wondering how he should tell Xia Fei about it.

Xia Fei was observing Yaweis expression carefully.

He believed that it was almost time for him to toss out the bait.

“We might be friends, but Im a businessman still.

I wont do anything that is going to make me lose money.

I believe youve already contacted other firearms suppliers”

Yawei replied, “Its just as you said; since we are lacking in cash and the Alliance has yet to reveal their plan on the Death Trio Star Region, not to mention the high risks involved due to the long journey, only a few arms dealers are willing to provide us with some goods first and let us pay at a later time.”

Xia Fei smiledm “Brother Yawei, how many arms dealers have agreed to provide you with supplies”

Xia Fei purposely emphasized on the wordshow many.

Yaweis face turned pale and he said softly, “Youre right again.

No arms dealer is willing to supply us apart from the smugglers.”

Xia Fei smiled and said, “Actually, I can give you a batch of energy-shield boosters.

Your fleet will be a lot stronger after installing them, but the price wont be cheap, either.”

Yaweis eyes glittered.

“Whats your condition Our army is currently under huge pressure.

We can negotiate if youre willing to give us the supply first.”

Xia Fei shook his head.

He let out a sigh.

“Brother Yawei, its only valid if the Black Abyss is going to win the war at the end.

You wont be able to fulfill any condition if you lose the war, right

“Everyone knows that the two regions have teamed up against yours, placing you at a disadvantage.

The people dont even need to think to realize that Evil Gulfstream Star and Terminus have the upper hands in the war.

I believe its part of the reasons why the arms dealers arent willing to make a deal with you.

The other reason is they dont trust you.

“Its obviously more profitable for me to sell my goods to your enemy.

Do you really think Im helping you because of the benefits you can promise me Im only doing this because of the old man and your help in the past.

“I am a grateful person.

I will definitely repay the kindness I owe you and the old man, so Im willing to take the risks, even if I will go bankrupt because of it.”

Phantom was giggling at the side.

It was quite amusing to hear Xia Fei giving such a righteous speech.

He was willing to take the risks even if he had a chance to go bankrupt because of it It was more like he was not going to give up until he got a huge bargain out of it.

Xia Fei switched his tone and said, “However, its better if my sacrifice has its return.”

Yawei had always been sentimental.

He was utterly touched by Xia Feis generous speech.

Yawei slammed his hand on the table and said, “Brother Xia Fei, feel free to state your conditions.

I wont say no if its within my capabilities.”

Xia Fei said, “If you say so, I shall cut to the chase then.

My home planet Earth has a high population but is very small.

Its already overpopulated, and you know how difficult it is to find a habitable planet in the Alliance.

However, Earth is my hometown, so I feel obliged to think for my people.”

Phantom could not stand it any longer.

Did Xia Fei really just bring up the welfare of the people on Earth He had just arranged his good friend Wu Long to be the president of the Earth Federation, and now he was claiming to be looking for a new habitable planet for the people on Earth Such a high-sounding excuse he came up with!

Yawei was so far away from Earth.

How could he possibly know the exact situation on the planet He did not even doubt Xia Feis words.

Building a Titan was a serious matter.

Xia Fei did not want to tell Yawei about it even though he was Qin Mangs disciple.

“About that…” Yawei seemed a little troubled.

The whole Death Trio Star Region only had a few habitable planets in good condition.

Xia Fei would seriously be asking a lot if these planets were good enough for the Death Trio Star Region to fight one another over them.

Xia Fei said, “I know the Death Trio Star Region doesnt have a lot of habitable planets.

Im not asking for a delicate planet with elegant sceneries.

Im happy with planets that humans can barely live on.

The people on Earth are better at enduring hardships than you think.”

Yawei let out a relieved sigh.

It was still possible if Xia Fei was not asking for those green planets.

He would not mind giving away the planets with terrible weather conditions.

There were a whole lot of them in the Death Trio Star Region, anyway.

Not only did those planets lack any benefits, they were a burden to look after, too.

“Thats doable, but I alone cant make the call.

I will have to discuss it with the other factions, but how many planets are we talking about” Yawei asked.

Xia Fei said, “The more the better; of course, the humans on Earth reproduce very quickly.

I would like to save some land for my future generations, too.”

Yawei nodded, “Its impressive how youre already thinking for the future generations of your hometown at such a young age.

Your people will be very grateful if they know.

Ill hold a meeting right away and notify you of the outcome as soon as we are done.

The journey from the Alliance to the Black Abyss is quite far, so…”

Xia Fei obviously knew what Yawei meant.

He said with a deep voice, “Alright, Ill immediately arrange the transportation once I receive the news from you.

I guarantee theyll be delivered in two months.

Ill bear the risks along the journey, too.”

The screen closed.

Phantom shook his head and asked, “Two months Are you crazy Weve been to the Death Trio Star Region.

Theres no way the journey will take less than three months.”

Xia Fei smiled.

He gave Charlie a call.

“Charlie, are you done with the energy-shield boosters which I asked you to handle close to the capital ring I might need them soon,” Xia Fei said.

“Mm.” Charlie nodded.

“Our transportation fleets finished delivering ten thousand units when we went to pick up some devices.

We also left a small transportation fleet there, too.

Is a client asking for them”

Xia Fei smiled.

“Maybe, but there wont be any cash coming in this time.

The company might struggle a little.

This business is very important, so you must treat it seriously.”

Phantom was left speechless.

It turned out that Xia Fei was already prepared for it.

He had brought some spares to the capital ring with the transportation fleets that came to take the second-hand machine tools to Earth.

Charlie said, “Qin Mang also introduced a raw material supplier to us.

They allowed us to pay in installments.

As long as the supply chains dont freeze for too long, we should be able to hang in there.”

Xia Fei said, “Ill leave it in your hands.

The company must stand.

If we can make it through, its going to be a clear path ahead.”

Charlie wore a stern look.

“Dont you worry; the company has a bright future.

People are willing to work for the company even if they arent getting paid.”

Xia Fei shook his head.

“Not paying them is going to affect their enthusiasm, which will affect the quality of the products.

Thats inappropriate.

We should think of other ways to preserve the funds and control where we spend them.”

Charlie smiled.

He pointed at his head and said, “Brother Xia Fei, believe me; my ability is related to maths.

Indeed, youre better at fighting, but when it comes to numbers and finance, I wont lose to you.”

Xia Fei smiled.

“It seems that Ive underestimated you.

Either way, you will be fully in charge of the company.

Ill ask Thuram and see if he can pay in advance.”

Xia Fei lit another cigarette after hanging up the call.

Giving out ten thousand energy-shield boosters was obviously a huge burden to Quantum Holdings under the current circumstances.

It might even cause the company to run out of funds, but Xia Fei had no other choice in order to secure a territory in the Death Trio Star Region.

Risks and benefits would forever coexist.

A person who was unwilling to take risks would never acquire the biggest gain.

Xia Fei was well aware of it.

A small fleet consisting of four industrial ships and four frigates were on standby not far away from the capital ring.

It was quite difficult for the fleet to pass through the No Mans Zone and reach the Black Abyss.

The Death Trio Star Region was currently at war; thus, it was unimaginable how complicated the situation would be.

They might need a more reliable fleet to protect the goods.

After giving it some consideration, Xia Fei called another person.

It was a backup plan he had prepared beforehand, but he was not too sure if it was going to work.

“Butcher, its been a while,” Xia Fei said with a smile.

Butcher was currently in a nightclub.

He was hugging two alluring women while drinking.

Butcher embarrassedly dismissed the two women beside him.

He found a quiet room and locked it from inside.

Butchers face seemed more energetic after some days.

He seemed to be in a good mood, probably because of the alcohol or having been in debauchery.

“How have you been these days” Xia Fei asked.

Butcher scratched his head.

“Not too bad.

Those brothers have been miserable for so many years.

They finally had a chance to relax, so weve been indulging in our pleasures for the past few days.”

Xia Fei frowned.

“Brothers”

Butcher said, “Basically, half of the people who escaped the Blood Matrix went home, but a few dozens of us, who no longer have a home to go back to, chose to stay.

We have developed a certain level of trust between us after being locked up for so long.

Even though we did fight one another in the past, its all in the past, anyway, so theres no point dwelling on it.

“We found some of Hooks money, so we split a part of it among us and keep the rest as the funds to jumpstart some business we are planning to do together.

We cant just do nothing all day, can we”

Xia Fei smiled.

“Thats wonderful.

Ill ask someone to send some gifts over to congratulate you.”

Butcher quickly waved his hand and said, “No way.

We are only free now because of you.

We should be the ones giving you gifts.

How can we take your gifts, instead”

Xia Fei smiled.

“Its called reciprocity, its a tradition in my hometown, too, but what business are you planning on doing”

Butcher straightened his face and said, “We have had enough of violence and killing in the Blood Matrix.

We decide to do something meaningful.

Hasnt the map to a place called Eden getting a lot of attention lately We are thinking of setting up an exploration team to see whats all that about.

“Once we confirm the route between the Alliance and Eden, well escort civilians journeying between the two places with warships.

We can also transport some goods.

The others are quite fond of the idea.

We wont be restricted by anyone, but we are still doing something productive.

Youve only spent a short time in the Blood Matrix, so you wont understand, but we were traumatized after being locked up for so long.

We just want to live a free and relaxing life.”

Xia Fei frowned.

He always felt that something was off about Eden, yet he could not explain it clearly.

He was thinking of advising against it, but on second thought, these people had been through tough times, indeed.

He should not intervene with their decision.

After all, he did not have any evidence to prove that something was right about Eden.

Having this thought, Xie Fei asked, “Butcher, do you have your own warships”

Butcher replied, “Hehe, we stole two Gaian Catalyst-class destroyers from Hook.

Theyre going to come in handy now.”

Xia Fei fell into deep thoughts while rubbing his chin.

Butcher asked curiously, “Xia Fei, is there something you want to say”

Xia Fei smiled.

“I do have something to ask; I have some goods that I want to transport from the Alliance to Black Abyss.

Im thinking of letting you handle it knowing how strong of a fighter you are, but I believe that I shouldnt trouble you again since you have other plans in mind.

Ill figure out another way.”

Butchers expression suddenly shifted, then he glared at Xia Fei.

“Xia Fei, are you looking down on me I, Butcher, am not the kind of person you think I am.

Give me a second.”

Butcher took the microcomputer into a bar, where a few dozen drunk blokes were enjoying their time with some women in revealing clothes.

The place was a complete mess.

Butcher jumped onto the bar and yelled, “Everyone, be quiet!”

Butcher projected the screen of the microcomputer onto the screen in the bar to put Xia Feis face up.

Everyone had a strong impression of Xia Fei.

They immediately greeted him.

“I believe everyone should recognize Xia Fei.

If not for him, wed still be stuck in that cage right now,” Butcher said.

The others raised their cups to pay Xia fei their respects.

Xia Fei had no choice but to say some words out of politeness in return.

“Now, our brother Xia Fei has a favor to ask.

He needs someone to deliver some goods to Black Abyss.

Are you willing to do it”

“Of course!”

“Why do you even ask Brother Xia Feis trouble is my trouble, too!”

“Brothers, are you afraid” Butcher asked.

“Afraid I just came out of the Blood Matrix! Is there anything else I should be afraid of”

“Brother Xia Fei, dont you worry; well handle it for you!”

Butcher smiled at Xia Fei.

“Hear them”

Xia Fei nodded and said, “Thank you, everyone.”
