I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1691  Negotiating About Spaceships!

”I need to see what Iʼm going to get before considering giving you my bones.”

”You donʼt want crystals?” the entire roomʼs temperature suddenly dropped, ”little Silvy told me…”

”Iʼm speaking about the other hot product you have,” Hye paused, and when the smuggler didnʼt say anything, he added, ”the priciest thing you are selling.”

”Iʼm not a merchant!”

”In a way… You are, hahaha!”

”...”

The smuggler went into silence again, and this time he didnʼt speak for ten minutes. ”What makes you think you can afford what I have?” he finally asked, speaking about the thing Hye was truly desperate to get.

Crystals were something crucial for him, but he got a way to solve this problem. As for the spaceships, this was a thing heʼd dare to even steal in daylight if he got a chance.

”Iʼll ask you again, what makes you think you have what it takes to buy them?” The smuggler didnʼt directly mention the spaceships, but the two knew what they were talking about.

”Let me take a guess… You gained these from little Silvy, right?” Hye betted everything on these words. And surely he had his own reasons for doing so.

First of all, the smuggler seemed to not just be offering his spaceships to the highest bidders, or selling them for a scary price. He seemed to look for people with certain qualifications.

Putting aside what these qualifications were, Hye knew he wouldnʼt apply to a single one of them. So he started to think about a way to get his hands over these spaceships, and his words were his way to get them.

From what he learnt so far, it wasnʼt that easy to get a single spaceship in the universe. Even big forces would suffer a lot to get a single one. And here this smuggler was, being in such a world threatened by a war, and he was offering spaceships to anyone here.

This didnʼt make any sense. The first thing that popped into Hyeʼs mind was that this smuggler here was trying to make trouble in this war. But which side was he standing on? And the most logical answer was that he was standing on the side of people living in this world.

Having spaceships was like having a mass destruction weapon. And then Hye thought about the means of this smuggler having these spaceships.

The answer presented itself to him when he spoke about Silverlining, mentioning him in a way that told Hye how the two were close to each other.

A smuggler, who was an outlaw, befriending someone who was working in the upper circle of a mighty race? One that was totally hostile to the Hescos coming to invade this world?

Everything became clearer to Hyeʼs eyes. The Toranks were behind all this, and that made him dare to bet on this. If this was true, then heʼd have a great chance to get a few of these ships. And if he was wrong, he wouldnʼt get anything but losing a chance to acquire such precious weapons.

As for trying to use his bones, it wasnʼt going to work. This smuggler was aware of this, and if his bones would buy him a ticket to own these spaceships, the smuggler would have started speaking about the price instead of repeating his rejection stance like this.

”You seem pretty close to little Silvy to tell you about this,” the smuggler laughed, one that came after a long time of silence.

”Itʼs not like how you are thinking,” Hye shook his head, ”these ships are here for me.”

”For you?!!” the smuggler retorted back, ”no way! You donʼt qualify to even take a single small one of them!”

As things turned in such a direction, Hye knew there was no going back, ”then tell me, who is the biggest ally of the Toranks here? One who is also a big enemy for the Hescos as well?”

”...” the smuggler kept his silence, while Hye shrugged as he added, ”you may think Iʼm weak, useless and powerless, but itʼs true these ships are sent here for me. You canʼt expect them to just offer these to anyone, and thatʼs why they placed such hard to achieve conditions in the first place.”

”If they wanted you to get them, they should have told me about it directly,” the smuggler argued back, in a way that told Hye he still didnʼt believe him.

”Then let me know, is there anyone here who satisfies these conditions?” Hye already heard about this from down below, knew that no one ever went up and came down with a single ship.

He hoped these outlaws werenʼt lying about this, or else everything he said and acted so far would be for naught.

”That doesnʼt mean they are here for you…”

”As for the price,” Hye didnʼt give the smuggler any chance to say his logical reasons behind rejecting him, ”tell me, who is rich enough to match such a scary price of yours? Of course Iʼm not speaking about those filthy rich folks from the merchant families in this world.”

Hyeʼs wordsʼ meaning was clear. The price enforced on everyone trying to buy these spaceships was quite scary. He didnʼt know if this price came from the Toranks or from this smuggler, but either way he knew he had the ability to satisfy such a condition at least.

”You arenʼt that wealthy to purchase them,” Hye was about to retort back, but the smuggler raised a hand to stop him before adding, ”letʼs not speak about the big ones, the price of the smallest one is much more than what a human can afford.”

”Iʼm paying with my bones!”

”Even so… Youʼll need hundreds of millions of your bones to get a single ship of…”

”Deal!” Without waiting for the smuggler to continue his words, Hye said, stretching his arm across the table, aiming to shake hands with the smuggler to close the deal.

”You indeed are insane!”
