Chapter 408 The price of continuing one’s life

In this way, when Langget XV regained consciousness, he would only think that they were discussing whether to pay military materials first or later and were in a stalemate.

A few minutes later, the old king woke up leisurely and felt the suffocating atmosphere in the room. The hint he had given before immediately came into effect. In a few words, the draft contract was finalized.

78 complete sets of information on the latest military technology, in exchange for extending his life for 30 years.

The secretary who was called in to draw up the contract was shocked.

But there is nothing wrong with the king's speech and behavior. There is no possibility of being replaced and counterfeited. Some of the little secrets that only he and his confidants know are also correct.

Anyway, neither Cen Wen nor the ambassadors knew about those little secrets.

The audience started in the morning. Because the things they wanted to talk about were so shocking, Cen Wen and his party were left in the palace to have lunch with the old king at noon. They continued to talk before leaving in the afternoon.

Regardless of whether the confidants around him believed that His Majesty the King was the same King, the draft of the contract was drafted and sent to the Lilan Military Department by Cen Wen on the spot for quick legal review by the army.

This is tantamount to releasing news to inform relevant parties of the two countries, especially putting pressure on Wanhua.

After all, military technical information is top secret information of the country. How can it be given out as reward just because the king wants to continue his life?

Wanhua's senior management has some trouble.

As for Cen Wen, she didn't care so much. If she wanted to continue her life, she had to pay for it.

The car outside the palace picked up Cen Wen and returned to the Marquis's manor.

While Cen Wen was still on the road, the Marquis received a tip from the palace and learned the price of the old king's continued life.

So, when she returned to the manor, for the first time she saw the Marquis waiting for her to have dinner at the dining table.

After the food was served, the four doors of the restaurant were closed tightly. The butler and maid who would have been standing behind the dining table waiting for service were not there. They obviously avoided it deliberately so as not to disturb the chat between host and guest.

"It's rare to see you have time to eat in a restaurant."

"I came here specifically to wait for you."

"I think so. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Cen Wen pulled up a supernatural barrier between the two parties, covering even the large dining table.

The little rattan immediately noticed something unusual under the table, and stuck a very small wireless eavesdropping device on it. There was no indicator light, so I didn’t know if it was working, but whatever, he stretched out its slender roots, quietly pulled it out and threw it into the pet space.

The confidants waiting to monitor upstairs only listened to the first few sentences, and there was no sound after that.

The Marquis was completely unaware of this and was still talking about himself.

"I know His Majesty wants to extend his life, and he agreed to your reward."

"Hmm, you should also know that the draft of the contract has been sent to the Lilan Military Department for review, and all procedures are legal."

"But our Majesty's actions are illegal. He betrayed national interests just to preserve his own life. This will arouse opposition from the whole country."

"Then you should quickly persuade him not to renew his life, see if His Highness is ready to take over the throne, and then ask him what kind of reward he can give if he wants to renew his life."

"Can't you just give me the money?"

"Okay, the total price of His Majesty's life extension reward is 78 trillion Chinese dollars. If you give me 78 trillion, I don't want the full set of technical information."

"78 trillion?! Why don't you go and grab it!" "Sir, please be careful. This is a fair and reasonable transaction. I'm not putting a gun to your head to force you. Don't give me anything you can't grab. Besides, you guys Your Majesty has to live for another 30 years. The longer the years, the higher the price. Your Excellency, you are all smart people. If you pretend to be stupid with me, you will appear to be really stupid."

Cen Wen didn't get angry, he just responded to her lightly.

The Marquis was choked and speechless.

"Don't forget, Marquis, that all the vitality required to extend your life for 30 years comes from the contribution of the population of this planet. Instead of arguing with me about whether the reward is expensive, you should think carefully about the health of the residents of this planet, and don't renew His Majesty the King's health. lives, resulting in the death of a large number of people around the world."

Wanhua United Nations is a country that pays attention to social classes. This is related to their huge number of colonial stars. Once the national policy is set, it has not changed for thousands of years. It is a national culture that is blended with blood.

Capital Star has strict settlement thresholds and elites gather together. Basic tasks such as street sweeping, garbage removal, online shopping, and takeout, which are public services that maintain the basic operation of society, are all performed by robots. For positions that require human labor, priority is given to recruiting local residents.

This has been passed down from generation to generation, forming a special class of residents of the capital star, which is located at the top of the food chain of all residential stars in Wanhua.

The vitality to continue life must be extracted from these elites who have been passed down from generation to generation.

And they are the best candidates.

Because they are healthy and have the money to enjoy the best medical services, it is not a big deal to drain their vitality and strengthen nutrition afterwards. If they are drained from low-income people, their already sub-healthy bodies will suddenly decline. , that is fatal.

Cen Wen really didn't mean to target them intentionally. He really just said that they were the best candidates.

The Marquis's heart skipped a beat. He imagined the consequences of extending His Majesty's life and a large number of people died, and his face became even more ugly.

"Is it necessary to extract life force from the population of this planet? What if we go to another planet to do it?"

"Go to another planet? Which planet? Will the administrator of that planet agree? What is the health rate of the global residents? Will His Majesty the King be willing to make this trip? As long as he moves, he is not afraid that everyone will know that he wants to draw out his life force to keep himself alive. ?”

The Marquis was speechless again.

It's nice to talk quickly for a while, but it's all in vain.

When they reach their status and go out to work, they, the Marquis, are escorted by security all the way to a banquet.

Let Langt XV go to another planet to extend his life?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The moment this idea comes up, it will be blocked.

In the end, it can only draw the vitality of the people of the capital star to extend the lives of the nobles in need.

It doesn't take much, if there are ten or eight nobles, the health rate of the people of the capital star will drop a lot.

"Your Excellency, I will not be able to stay in your country for long. Please make a decision as soon as possible and give me a list of people who want to renew my life. Otherwise, I will leave for home after renewing my life for His Majesty the King."

Cen Wen picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth before leaving the table gracefully.

She had said so much before, and it did not delay her from filling her stomach at all.

On the other hand, the Marquis opposite her plate was still full and she didn't even take a few bites.

At midnight, everyone in the manor fell asleep. Cen Wen, who had slept for two or three hours in advance, was neatly dressed and carried by a small rattan through space teleportation to the palace.

For adult princes and princesses, only the princess lives in her own territory. The prince lives with his parents in the palace because of his status as the eldest heir, assisting in daily official affairs and preparing for succession anytime and anywhere.
