Chapter 551: 551
“I do not have raw uranium, but I do have enriched uranium,” Han Tianyu said .
“A few tonnes…” Jiang Fei smirked . The amount of nuclear material was enough to raze Japan to the ground . However, it would hardly satisfy 0541’s energy requirements .
“Captain, if the enriched nuclear energy is highly concentrated, it should be able to recover my energy levels to 20% or even 30%!” 0541 answered after doing the calculations .
“That’s not enough either… Forget it . Brother Yu, can you contact the European Vatican for me?” Jiang Fei finally decided to give up on Han Tianyu’s small amount of resources .
Enriched uranium was not a normal item . Although Han Tianyu had a bit of the resource, it did not belong to him . Jiang Fei did not want to cause trouble for Han Tianyu for such a small matter . Moreover, Jiang Fei had rejected the government superior’s invitation to meet up . If he were to use their resources now, it would be unjustifiable .
“European Vatican? Ah Fei, is there something going on with you?” Han Tianyu was surprised .
“I want to discuss a deal with them,” Jiang Fei replied .
“For uranium?” Han Tianyu probed .
“Yeah . ” Jiang Fei nodded . He did not want to hide it from Han Tianyu . After all, he would need Han Tianyu to bargain for him during the trade talks .
“Hehe . Ah Fei, I think you are getting too far ahead of yourself . ” Han Tianyu laughed as he continued speaking . “If I don’t have it guessed wrongly, the amount of uranium you need is so great that you don’t even think what I have is enough . Isn’t that the case?”
“Hehe…” Jiang Fei laughed, embarrassed .
“Haih, I knew it! However, uranium is such a rare battle resource . Why would they give you that much? Some things cannot be bought with money!” Han Tianyu sighed as he said . From his facial expression, Jiang Fei knew that Han Tianyu must have been rejected before .
“Who said I wanted to use money? I’ll use potions! The potions will allow them to recover Inner Qi and other energy swiftly!” Jiang Fei said .
The potions Jiang Fei mentioned were the concentrated version of the Mana Potions in the game . They were similar to the concentrated Health Potions—Grand Restore Pill .
Previously, Jiang Fei did not produce the potions because he did not have any use for them . In the beginning, all of Jiang Fei’s powers came from his equipment and therefore he did not require any energy recovery . Later on, although he acquired his own energy, he did not experience energy depletion due to the quick energy recovery from the energy vortex in his body . Therefore, he never thought of producing the potions .
However, now that he needed to acquire energy for 0541, he had to think of such ways .
“What?! You actually have this kind of potion?” Han Tianyu was surprised . Although Jiang Fei had previously provided them with a potion which permanently increased one’s energy recovery rate, there were only four of them . They had already been consumed by the powerful individuals in the Martial Art Alliance .
However, the potion which Jiang Fei now spoke of was clearly an item to be used on-the-go . Although its level was incomparable to the previous type of potion, its price was even higher . It was a life-saving potion which was more valuable than the Grand Restore Pill .
For a high level Metahuman, the Grand Restore Pill only helped with faster wound recoveries . Against a strong opponent, getting hurt meant that the person was much weaker in general . It meant one was inferior either because the opponent was too strong or the person was in poor physical condition . With depleted energy, all the more one could not defeat his or her opponent even with fully recovered injuries .
However, if one could quickly recover used energy, then it would be possible to spam skills against the opponent . One would even be able to use ultimate skills without worrying about running out of energy . This would pressure the opponent despite the difference in strength .
Therefore, for most low level Metahumans, they still used physical energy as their primary method of battle . In that case, the Grand Restore Pill was still more effective for them . As for high level Metahumans, they would completely rely on energy for battles . Therefore, the potion which provided faster energy recovery would save their lives and even give them a better fighting chance to win against their opponents .
“Yeah, I plan to trade these potions for a large amount of uranium!” Jiang Fei nodded .
“Only uranium?” Han Tianyu asked . He wanted to help the China Martial Art Alliance out if he could . After all, it would be a waste if such a good item fell into the hands of foreigners .
“Other minerals of high radioactivity would work too,” Jiang Fei said .
“This…” Han Tianyu was speechless . China did not have a lot of nuclear energy in storage . Their production levels were even lower . Moreover, the China Martial Art Alliance was unlike the European Vatican which was very involved with worldly affairs . Therefore, they did not have a lot of these resources .
“Help me contact them, please . I need the resources urgently!” Jiang Fei pressed on .
“Alright!” Han Tianyu nodded . Although he wished to help the Martial Art Alliance out, there was nothing the Alliance had which Jiang Fei wanted . Therefore, he would have to give up his personal agenda .
Han Tianyu was highly efficient . After some communication, a golden-haired European beauty landed on his doorsteps . Jiang Fei met the representative from the European Vatican in Han Tianyu’s office .
“Nice to meet you . I am the European Vatican’s Chinese Ambassador, High Priestess Celine Trish . ” The golden-haired beauty introduced herself to Jiang Fei .
“Nice to meet you . I am Jiang Fei . I am sure you are very clear on why I had reached out to you people . ” Jiang Fei did not have much experience in negotiations . Therefore, he behaved as bluntly as he usually did .
“Hehe, Mr . Jiang, you truly are straightforward . ” Celine Trish smiled at Jiang Fei . As the external representative, she naturally knew how to deal with awkward situations like this . Moreover, facing someone inexperienced in negotiations like Jiang Fei, she was rather pleased . After all, that meant she would be able to obtain the greatest amount of benefits for the Vatican .
“I do not have much experience in negotiations . Therefore, let me lay out my rules first . ” Jiang Fei knew he was not good with words and could not rival against this European beauty . Therefore, he decided to draw the line right away .
“Please speak,” Celine Trish said politely .
“Firstly, let me introduce my potion . A single pill will allow a Low-Tier Level 4 Metahuman to recover 50% of his energy in five seconds . ” Jiang Fei first introduced his product . The information on the effects of the potion were provided by 0541 . Jiang Fei came up with the potion’s name on his own .
“Alright . ” Celine Trish nodded lightly . Although she was quite surprised by the effects of Jiang Fei’s potion, her facial expression did not show a tinge of change .
“Price-wise, a single pill costs ten tonnes of raw materials . The price is fixed with no bargains available . The minimum amount you can purchase is a hundred pills, while the maximum amount is 200 pills . You can decide on the amount with him,” Jiang Fei said as he pointed at Han Tianyu . He then walked over to the sofa, sat down, and shut his eyes to rest .
“Ah?” Celine Trish was dumbfounded . She had never met anyone who negotiated in such a manner . If the price was fixed, then her only decision lied in whether or not she would accept the deal . There was no way she could negotiate a deal which would benefit her side .
This was the strategy which Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu had agreed on . Jiang Fei was not skilled in negotiations after all . Hence, they decided the deal would either work for them or not work at all . There would be no space for negotiations .
Seeing that Jiang Fei had closed his eyes and would not engage in any further conversation, Celine Trish was clueless . Even if she was skilled in negotiations, she could not do anything if Jiang Fei did not even wish to speak .
Most importantly, the initiation did not come from her . The pills belonged to Jiang Fei alone which meant he had the absolute advantage . However, the European Vatican was not the sole uranium producer . If she did not agree on the deal with Jiang Fei, he could easily go to the Mutants Brotherhood . Therefore, she could not pass on the opportunity . This made Celine Trish, who was all pumped up to negotiate, suddenly feel deflated and uncomfortable .
