156: Greedy commander?

Lin Yang's brows furrowed slightly; Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce suddenly increasing the required exchange materials must have some purpose and idea.

After a pause, he said to Butler One, "Add another portion of materials this time, and then raise the price again."

"Commander, do we still need to increase the exchange price?" Butler One was a little surprised.

"Increase! There must be a reason for their two countries to do this suddenly. Let's raise the price and see their reaction. If they continue to exchange, it proves that they indeed have certain purposes."

"Okay, I will follow your instructions." Butler One responded.

"Hmm, you go ahead and get busy. I'll send you the new material list shortly," Lin Yang said.

The so-called new materials were some of the resources needed to build the space elevator.

To build a space elevator, relying solely on domestic resources would certainly not be enough.

Originally, he was still wondering how to gather all the resources, but he didn't expect Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce to actively come forward at this time.

A moment later, Lin Yang sent the list to Butler One, asking it to negotiate with the people from Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce.

Unexpectedly, Butler One quickly sent new information.

"Commander, their two countries have agreed to the exchange, but with one condition: they hope to have a personal conversation with you."

Lin Yang raised an eyebrow: "They want to talk to me?"

"Yes, Commander, they said that exchanging so many materials at once makes them a big customer, and they hope to communicate with you," Butler One continued to relay.

"Interesting. Tell them that if they want to communicate with me, they must pay double the resources as a communication fee," Lin Yang said leisurely.

"Ah? Another double? It's already doubled, Commander."

Butler One's intelligent system seemed a bit overwhelmed, revealing an extremely surprised expression on its face, looking somewhat comical and strange.

"If they want to communicate with me personally, how can they do it without paying a price?"

Lin Yang's lips curved slightly upward.

"No matter what, I am a mysterious Alien Commander. How can they communicate with me just because they want to?"

"Okay, I will follow your instructions. I will convey your will." Butler One's eyes darted a few times, then it closed the communication.

...

On the other side, in the United Office Building of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce.

Yes, after deeper cooperation, their two countries specifically set up a joint building for their offices.

Upon receiving Butler One's relay, the high-ranking officials of both countries were all furious.

"This damn Alien Commander, he's treating us like suckers to be butchered!"

"Not only did the price for all exchanges double, but now, just to have a conversation with him, he wants to charge an additional double the resources!"

"This is simply robbery! It's banditry!"

The people of Unpretty were half-dead with anger.

It was just one chance for a conversation, yet he wanted to charge an additional double the resources as a communication fee!

This was even more ruthless than a bandit!

The people of Little Eagle Sauce, after their anger subsided, said coldly, "This Commander is indeed very greedy, but for us, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

"This isn't a bad thing? He's almost draining our entire reserves!" The people of Unpretty instantly glared with wide eyes.

"Heh heh, calm down."

The people of Little Eagle Sauce pressed a hand down and slowly said, "We can think about it from another perspective: his greed means that as long as we pay a sufficient price, perhaps we can change his bias towards Shangxia, and it might be possible to pull him to our side!"

These words instantly made the people of Unpretty freeze.

The people of Little Eagle Sauce then continued, "Didn't we say before that we should try our best to win him over, but we've always struggled to find a breakthrough? And now, the breakthrough has come!"

Saying that, the people of Little Eagle Sauce revealed a cold sneer: "We're not afraid of his greed, only of him having no desires. As long as a person has weaknesses and desires, he is not invulnerable, and even if he is an Alien, he is no exception!"

The people of Unpretty immediately realized and said, "That's right, although this Commander is a bit greedy, as long as we can win him over, the current pay is worth it!"

"Exactly. So, don't feel bad about the resources. Once we can mine resources on other planets, we'll have endless resources, and this greedy Commander is even more useful to us!" The people of Little Eagle Sauce nodded.

"Then agree to his request! Tell him that we accept his terms!"

The people of Unpretty stood up and looked at the moon.

At the same time.

Just as Little Eagle Sauce and Unpretty agreed to the terms, Lin Yang's side also received notification from Butler One immediately.

"They actually agreed to this condition?"

Lin Yang was a little surprised.

To be honest, he himself had never thought that Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce would agree to such an outrageous demand!

Just to have one conversation with him, they had to pay double the materials.

This was treating them like pigs to be slaughtered!

They could agree to this?

Lin Yang blinked: "Butler One, did they really agree to pay double the materials to get a chance to communicate with me?"

"Yes, Commander."

"This..."

Upon confirmation, Lin Yang still found it a bit absurd. Were the people of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce crazy?

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yang looked up: "It seems their two countries really have ulterior motives. Agreeing to such an exaggerated request is too abnormal."

"Then, should we communicate with them?" Butler One asked.

"Communicate? Of course, communicate. Since they don't care about being slaughtered and are willing to be the suckers, why would I refuse the resources delivered to my doorstep?"

Lin Yang's tone was leisurely.

"Besides, I also want to see what they intend to do by paying such a huge price just to talk to me!"

"Okay, Commander, what time would you like to have the conversation with them?" Butler One asked again.

"Of course, after they deliver the resources to Tiangong Base. When the resources arrive, you tell me." Lin Yang replied.

"Okay." Butler One responded and went to work.

Lin Yang, meanwhile, looked out the window, pondering the possibilities of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce doing this.

"Idol, Yuan President has arrived. Please come to the laboratory."

The next moment, Wang Guang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Yang pushed the door open and walked out.

The laboratory was not far, only a few minutes away.

Dr. Chu had already returned to the Armed Forces Department, leaving only Zhao Zizhen and Yuan Zhihe inside.

Seeing Lin Yang approach, Yuan Zhihe immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Lin, I've heard so much about you. Seeing you today, you truly are a hero from a young age, so vibrant and an outstanding talent. Having such a young talent like you is truly a great fortune for the country!"

"Uh... Yuan President, you're giving me too much credit. I really don't deserve it..."

Lin Yang was stunned.

Being showered with such compliments right upon meeting, he felt a bit unaccustomed, and then subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zizhen.

Zhao Zizhen immediately tugged at Yuan Zhihe, annoyed: "Old Yuan, can you at least have some dignity? Don't be so obvious with your flattery. Lin has already said that he's staying with our Great Science Academy for now. Old Chu has already returned in defeat, so don't even think about poaching him!"

"Cough, cough, what flattery? This is heartfelt praise!"

Yuan Zhihe's old face turned red, and he turned to glare at Zhao Zizhen.

Lin Yang, meanwhile, was speechless. Why did all these presidents keep trying to poach him?

Wouldn't he be contributing to the country no matter where he was?

Seeing that Zhao Zizhen was about to engage in another verbal battle with Yuan Zhihe over him, Lin Yang quickly said, "Yuan President, let's go take a look at the plant seeds."
