38: Chapter 38: First Breakthrough of 1 Billion Yuan in System Funds

Li Yi returned to the five-star Four Seasons Hotel. Having spent the whole day out, he was quite tired. After eating dinner, he set an alarm for 10 PM and went to sleep early.

When the alarm rang, Li Yi woke from his sleep, his energy restored after the day's fatigue.

After a quick cleanup, Li Yi used the "Teleportation" function of the Multiverse Arms Trading System to go directly to River Island on the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor.

River Island was silent, with flickering lights illuminating the surroundings.

Li Yi checked the status of the oil storage tanks. All ten-plus tanks were filled to capacity; there were no idle tanks left.

After selecting the range of the oil storage tanks, Li Yi clicked the "Collect" button in the Multiverse Arms Trading System. Soon, all the oil in the tanks was cleared out.

Li Yi saw the oil collection data displayed by the Multiverse Arms Trading System: a total of 3,800,124 barrels, which was close to what Lieutenant Colonel Haidari had mentioned.

Seeing that the task was complete, Li Yi immediately teleported back to his room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

After resting for a moment, Li Yi checked the Multiverse Arms Trading System. The oil storage quantity had changed from 0 to "3,800,124 barrels."

This was the first time Li Yi had seen such a massive amount of oil; it was his largest harvest to date.

Based on the current international oil price of $77.95 per barrel, the newly collected oil was worth $296,219,666.

The exchange rate for China's currency was now 1 USD to 6.8752 RMB, making the total approximately 2,036,569,448 RMB.

Li Yi immediately chose to sell the oil for system funds. The system funds displayed in the Multiverse Arms Trading System changed to 2,748,967,339 RMB.

This was the first time the Multiverse Arms Trading System's funds had surpassed the 1 billion yuan mark. If used to purchase various armaments from the system, new weapons and equipment could be unlocked.

Li Yi did not choose to make a large purchase. The weapons and equipment already unlocked could still be sold in large quantities, so there was no need to rush to unlock new ones.

Once Li Yi had rested enough, he selected a desert area in the southwest of Aqaba and arrived there using the "Teleportation" function of the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

This whole area was desert, but it was not far from the highway, so it would not interfere with Jordan's receipt of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

Li Yi chose a flat area where the sand was shallow and would not cause anything to sink.

He immediately extracted the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units purchased by Jordan from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, arranging them neatly on the flat ground into a prominent mound.

Seeing that everything was in order, Li Yi immediately contacted Major General Dula.

"Major General Dula, the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units your side purchased have all been placed at a location southwest of Aqaba. Send someone to receive them quickly."

Li Yi gave Major General Dula the detailed coordinates. This place was not particularly secure; if someone on the distant highway was paying attention, they would notice something unusual here.

"Good. I will send men there immediately."

Major General Dula had already arranged for officers and soldiers. Upon receiving the location from Li Yi, he immediately ordered them to set out.

Li Yi did not linger and immediately teleported back to the Four Seasons Hotel via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

It was not even midnight yet, and the business was already finished.

Now he just had to wait for Major General Dula to pay the final balance for the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile. Once he received it, Li Yi would deliver the third batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units purchased by the Glass House.

The Jordanian army stationed in Aqaba sent a battalion to receive the anti-aircraft missiles. With specific coordinates, finding the correct location was not difficult. Seeing the stacked anti-aircraft missiles, the soldiers knew the Jordanian military must have purchased a new batch of weapons and equipment.

After checking that the quantity was correct, the soldiers quickly loaded the anti-aircraft missiles onto trucks. Since the quantity was not large, the loading was finished quickly. The battalion commander contacted Major General Zaha to inform him that the operation had gone smoothly.

Hearing that the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units had all been received, Major General Dula hurriedly ordered the battalion commander to escort them to Amman.

Once they reached Amman, they would be distributed to the border defense units between Jordan and Israel.

Naturally, all the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile units would be deployed in Amman, which was not far from Israel. Given the operational range of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile, they could still cover many areas within Israel.

By the time Major General Dula saw the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units, it was already past 3 AM.

He excitedly inspected each model of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and compared them with the data he had received previously to confirm the operational performance of each type.

Upon receiving the news, Lieutenant General Ham also arrived to join Major General Dula in discussing the deployment of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

After some discussion, they decided that the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile would be deployed to every battalion stationed on the border with Israel; the Tianlei Type II and Type III units would be divided into four groups and deployed to the northern, central, and southern border regions as well as Amman; and all the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile units would be stationed around Amman.

Such a deployment could effectively counter air raids launched by Israel from various border directions—unless Israel avoided the border with Jordan and detoured through Syria to enter, which would prevent Jordan from defending effectively.

Major General Dula began arranging for various units to come to Amman to receive the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units, while Lieutenant General Ham prepared to pay the final balance to Chaos Company.

USD and Chinese currency were simple enough, but withdrawing the physical gold was still a bit of a hassle.

Lieutenant General Ham reported to the King of Jordan and finally received the King's order to withdraw 1,500 kilograms of gold from the Central Bank of Jordan.

It was two days later when Major General Dula finally contacted Li Yi.

"Major General Dula, when does your side plan to pay the final balance for the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile?"

Li Yi asked directly when he saw it was Major General Dula calling.

"It is ready. Where should we pay you?"

"For the gold, send it all to the Four Seasons Hotel. For the USD, use the account I provided before. As for the Chinese currency transfer, I will give you the account details once you arrive at the Four Seasons Hotel."

Li Yi did not plan to use the bank account opened by Chaos Company; he decided to use the account opened by Green Lotus Company at Hengfeng Bank.

"Very well. I will arrange for vehicles to transport the gold over immediately."

Major General Dula raised no objections; he just needed to pay the balance as Li Yi requested. Now that they had the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units, they couldn't act like the USA—signing contracts and taking payments, only to fail to deliver the weapons in the end.
