Chapter 76 Trading
Although Adam did not speak at this moment, his actions were enough to prove that what 'she' said was true.
Then everyone looked at 'Alter', but their gazes gradually shifted to observation, scrutiny, curiosity, inquiry, and calculation...
Seeing the reactions of everyone before her, Altair sighed inwardly. This was exactly the scene she had envisioned.
The only craftsman looked at Altair with eyes full of 'worship and admiration', just like the 'tech guy' in his previous life.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man from the Southern Continent spoke first, asking, "How many guns can your factory produce each day? What are their power levels? Do you accept custom-made bullets?"
After Altair sat down, he explained, "The exact production quantity cannot be estimated, as there are significant limitations due to raw material constraints. As for weapon performance, it's comparable to what the Kingdom of Rune uses in the Southern Continent. Custom bullet calibers are acceptable, but they require high-priced purchases..."
「军用单发步枪售价：9镑/1支，军用轻机枪售价：60榜/1挺，军用重机枪售价：200镑以上/1挺，普通量产子弹：28镑/500发。」
"Of course, these weapons are limited to those that my factory can produce. If you need weapons that are custom-made, please contact me separately, and I will provide a quote as soon as possible."
"Are the firearms and ammunition technology available for sale?" someone asked as soon as the words were spoken.
Altair didn't reply to this, but instead raised her finger and looked at it. She was very curious about how Adam had managed to transfer his consciousness in an instant and leave behind a vivid "self" in the same spot.
Moreover, she knew all too well that it was difficult to make a quick buck, and fishing required patience, especially for someone like her who had her own unique bait.
Those who needed weapons were now exchanging glances as if they were electing representatives.
After a few seconds of deliberation, the representative from the Fursack leadership spoke up: "Your offer is far too high. You should also know that a military rifle now sells for only around 7 pounds, and a six-barreled machine gun for around 80 pounds... If you are sincere about cooperating, I think we can discuss the price of the technology."
Upon hearing his words, Altair seemed to instantly realize something, so she looked up at the person she was talking to and said:
"You're right. So my current offer is £10 for a rifle, £100 for a light machine gun, and as for a heavy machine gun, that depends on my mood."
After saying that, she touched her chin again, as if she was thinking about something. After figuring it out, she chuckled mischievously, "Hmm~~ If you're not in a hurry, I feel like we can wait another six months. Of course, the consequence of all this is that you'll have to wag your tails and beg Rune to slow down, ha~ha~ha."
At this moment, Altair was like a madman, showing no fear of the identities of these important figures, but rather treating them as a source of amusement.
As 'she' was still laughing heartily, clutching her stomach, a disgruntled female voice rang out, "Enough!"
After Altair calmed down, the woman's voice explained calmly, "We are seeking cooperation with great sincerity, please don't play games with us."
Upon hearing this, Altair pursed his lips and retorted, "Trying to directly target technology, is that considered sincerity?"
"I think you all know that there are only two places in the world where this new type of gunpowder can be mass-produced. You can't break into the factories of those nobles in the Kingdom of Rune. You don't even know where my factory is, and you don't even know my identity."
"The craftsman just said he needs another six months. That means I can enjoy the benefits of this unique technique for another six months, so why should I share it with you?"
After saying that, Altair looked at them like they were idiots.
"..." After a few seconds of silence, the woman asked 'her', "What exactly do you want?"
Altair smiled and said to the woman, "Actually, I don't care much about these 'gold pounds.' Whether it's a lot of money or a little, it doesn't matter to me."
"I urgently need a batch of high-sequence 'extraordinary traits' and extraordinary materials. If your offer satisfies me, I can reduce the weapon price a bit."
"Or, you could ask for a rebate."
The group exchanged glances, and then the woman asked again, "What kind of extraordinary characteristics and materials do you need, including the specific method, sequence number, and other requirements?"
Altair, having achieved his goal, chuckled softly, "I need the Fool, the Door, the Sun, the Dreamer, Darkness, the Twilight Giant, the Moon, the Inquisitor, the Red Priest, the Witch..."
"These pathways have extraordinary properties, and they don't require low sequences. The properties I need are at least sequence seven, which I can buy at the normal market price."
Before she could finish speaking, someone interrupted, "We reject this deal; your asking price is far too unrealistic."
"Alright then." After saying this, 'Altair' leaned back in his seat, looking fearless.
The matter was dropped, and no one brought it up again until the end of the meeting.
As Adam reminded them that the meeting was over, the figures of the people on both sides of the long table gradually faded until they disappeared.
Altair's appearance returned to normal only after everyone left. The spacious hall now only had two people left. Altair looked at Adam in the distance and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"
Adam smiled gently at her and said, "A lot of people just placed orders for you."
"They want to get sample firearms first, test them, and then decide whether to buy them."
Altair pursed his lips and said speechlessly, "I thought nobody was buying it. Now that it's been exposed and can be replicated, what's the point of secretly buying it? You'll still get caught when you use it."
Adam smiled and explained, "Concealing one's talents is a form of wisdom."
"Hmm~" Altair nodded, then asked curiously, "May I know the specific identity of the person I'm trading with?"
Adam shook his head slightly without saying anything.
"Alright..." After saying that, Altair asked again, "How did you instantly transfer my consciousness here, and also create a fake version of me?"
"This is the world I created. Moving your location only requires a thought. As for how to create another fake version of you, please don't forget the power of the 'audience.'" Adam said as he created another fake 'Altair.'
Seeing the person beside him, Altair curiously reached out and touched him, praising, "Your imagination is really strong; you can completely fool the eye with your realism."
How do you know she's a fake?
Upon hearing this, Altair's eyes widened instantly as he looked at Adam and asked, "What does that mean?"
Sensing her confusion, Adam simply said, "Daydreaming."
"So you've copied me," Altair murmured casually.
Adam nodded, then shook his head, and explained, "Theoretically, that's how it is. Based on my past observations of you, I created a fictional version of you."
Altair said with a serious expression, "Please don't think about me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Then he added, "I also need you to help me buy some raw materials."
