I Have A Game Clone - Chapter 396: Being a Dog (1)

Ning Shi had seen the contract signed between the Norse Republic and Banner Planet for the manufacturing of mccha parts. Just the contract on the surface alone would cost hundreds of billions of star field points each year, and the net profit would be close to one billion star field points.

Privately; the actual profit from the manufacturing was around 10 billion star field points. The remaining 9 billion star field points were split between the higher-ups of the Norse Republic and the other half was embezzled by the deacon of the Jiang family, the Domain Lord family of Banner Planet.

To the Jiang family, the overlord family that dominated the First Star Field, the annual profit of billions of star field points was nothing to them. The main reason for giving orders to the mechas of the origin planet was to establish a relationship with the origin planet. This would ensure that they could control or influence the higher-ups of the republic through their relationship of interest. They would be able to provide the latest information and monitor the changes on the origin planet at any time.

Although the Jiang family was forced by the situation and had to sign an agreement with the other 6 Domain Lord families, in order to have the opportunity to break through, they agreed not to interfere with the internal development of the origin planet.

However, as the overlord of the First Star Field, they had always had the greatest influence on the origin planet. They were also the closest to the origin planet. The Jiang family had a great advantage in seizing the so-called opportunity to break through on the origin planet.

After signing the Origin Planet Development Convention, external forces were not allowed to interfere with the development of the origin planet. This weakened the Jiang family’s advantage to a certain extent.

Therefore, the Jiang family deliberately sent orders to the Norse Republic for mecha manufacturing, not to make money, but to secretly influence and monitor the situation on the origin planet.

The hegemonic forces of the other star fields also knew that the Jiang family and the higher-ups of the Norse Republic had colluded for benefits through the contract, but they did not object.

On the one hand, it was compensation for the Jiang family’s sacrifice at the convention. On the other hand, the act of contracting was done by the Norse Republic on their own initiative. It was an independent act of the Norse Republic and did not violate the principle of non-interference by external forces.

On the other hand, if everyone did not allow the Norse Republic to do contract manufacturing and did not allow the Norse Republic to come into contact with the galactic society, that would be a restriction and interference on the Norse Republic’s discovery. It would be a violation of the convention.

Under such circumstances, the Jiang family of Banner Planet and the Norse Republic’s contract manufacturing interest relationship had been developing for more than a hundred years.

No matter who was the consul, they could not ignore the commission of billions of star field points a year. This kind of commission could enter their personal pockets.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Norse Republic had always placed the most importance on the matter of contract manufacturing. Under this emphasis, the Norse Republic always delivered the products on time without delay.

Therefore, the delay in delivery immediately attracted the attention of Banner Planet, especially when the Mysterious large world was about to fail and the opportunity to break through was becoming more and more obvious. The Jiang family of Banner Planet paid special attention to every move of origin planet.

In this case, the delay in the delivery of the order meant that the relationship between the OCs might not be stable. The Jiang family immediately reacted.

They immediately sent someone over to ask about the situation.

This was related to the Domain Lord’s Jiang family and also involved the profits of billions of star field points. Wei Yanping really didn’t dare to make the decision himself.

Ning Shi looked at Wei Yanping, who was hunched over, and said to him, “First of all, 1 want to make an adjustment. In the future, wo won’t do any more OMs for Banner Planet. The current mecha production line can’t even meet my needs for manufacturing mecha. It’s impossible to allocate the production line to other planets.’*

When Wei Yanping heard this, he didn’t obey as before. Instead, he retorted, which was rare, “Sir, is this alright?

“If we stop now, not only will we offend the overlord of the First Star Field, the Jiang family, but we’ll also have to pay the penalty for breaching the contract. What’s more serious is that we’ll lose the only way to earn star field points.

“You need star field points to buy a lot of materials and resources to make advanced mechas. Our star field points are being used up very quickly. Once we use up all our star field points, we won’t be able to make advanced mochas.

“At that time, the mccha production line will have to stop.

“Why don’t we take out a portion of the production line and continue to work for Banner Planet? This way, we can still earn star field points to help us continue to buy materials and resources.”

Generally speaking, the cost of manufacturing an advanced mccha was around I0-to-20-billion-star field points. It was indeed very expensive. Wei Yanping’s words seemed to make sense, but Ning Shi looked at Wei Yanping with a meaningful expression and did not say a word.

Wei Yanping broke out in a cold sweat.

There were two major costs involved in manufacturing advanced mechas. One was the helium orc that met the standards for advanced mecha manufacturing. The other was the mecha manufacturing technology, including the material formula, the helium power core design blueprint, and so on.

Excluding the technology and helium ore, the material cost of one mecha was about two billion star field points.

Although origin planet was classified as an abandoned planet in the Star Field Alliance, there were many materials and resources.

The Star Field Alliance categorized the origin planet as such mainly because the radiation elements on the origin planet were dense and unsuitable for human survival. In addition, there were very few helium ores on the origin planet that met the requirements for mecha construction.

The origin planet still had a lot of reserves in terms of metal ores. As for biochemical materials, due to the radioactive creatures, there were many types of cells on the origin planet; and the biochemical materials were not bad either.

Ning Shi did not need to worry about helium ores when he made advanced mechas. This was because Ball’s sub-bodies had the ability to absorb energy and could turn parts into a whole. It could directly use the scattered helium ores on the origin planet. The manufacturing technology was completely developed by Ball itself, so he did not need to spend money..
