Chapter 611: Buying A Research Center (2)

"It’s not high-end at all." Hu Xiansheng spoke in excitement, "I have invested over two million merit points for that research. Student Su, I am willing to give you thirty percent of the shares for only four hundred thousand merit points. What do you think about that? Student Su, think about it. Imagine being a part of the team that has created the Great Spatial Transportation Formation."

The old man continued speaking in excitement, "How long do you need to take to reach Great Xia's capital from here? Three days at the fastest! A Couldbreach would require two days while a Mountainsea would require one day. A Sunmoon would require half a day. Even an Invincible would take two or three hours to travel this far. That's a total waste of time. But imagine having a formation that can send someone over in only three seconds!"

Hu Xiansheng emphasized, "Three seconds! Additionally, there are three portals connecting the Human Realm with the Allheaven Battlefield. But you need at least three to five days to reach the nearest portal from Great Ming. But with our formation, even if we need multiple formations to cover the distance, we won't take more than one minute!

"Imagine a fee of a hundred merit points for a single teleportation. That's cheap, right? And how many people are there in the Human Realm? How big is the daily flow of traffic in the Human Realm each day? Even if we only get ten thousand customers per day, we stand to earn a million merit points each day! After deducting the costs, we will earn at least three hundred merit points in profit each day!

"If we can earn that much in a day, how much can we earn in a year? And what if we spread our formations to the Allheaven Battlefield as well? Heavens! Just imagine it! The military would probably go wild with joy! They would pay us billions for our formations!"

"..."

What a beautiful dream. Alas, Su Yu couldn't take that dream seriously. This old man should keep a big business like that to himself. Su Yu was most certainly not interested in it.

Hu Xiansheng seemed to have guessed what Su Yu was thinking. He smiled and said, "I know what everyone thinks about me. Do you think I'm dreaming after hearing about me from the others? Hehe, I'm not dreaming at all. No matter what, I'm a seventh-stage Mountainsea. I'm not stupid."

Having said that, he took out two small doors.

He tossed one at Su Yu and said, "Take it."

Su Yu looked at the small door with astonishment.

Then, Hu Xiansheng moved about thirty meters away with the other door in hand.

"Don't blink."

Hu Xiansheng said in excitement, "Remember to not blink!"

A bottle appeared in his hand. Then, he opened the door and pushed the bottle inside. The door in Su Yu's hands shook. Noticing that, his eyes flickered as he opened the door.

Beyond the door, the bottle appeared. He raised his head and looked at Hu Xiansheng in shock.

Holy shit!

Teleportation?

Fixed teleportation?

Hu Xiansheng laughed heartily and asked, "What do you think? Are you shocked? It's not that I have no results. My result is simply not good enough. I'm currently faced with two issues. Firstly, the range is too short. Secondly, I can't transport living beings yet."

"But this is the nature of research. We can't complete everything with a single step. Over the years, I have spent a million merit points, but I do have something to show for it. Some people are simply jealous of me. They have been starting rumors about me, accusing me of burning money away for a hopeless endeavor. But is that true?

"The moment I succeed, everyone in Great Ming's multiple character faction will be living a good life with me. And we don't even have that many people left. Including the both of us, we only have 58 people in total." "But after we get rich, we can recruit 580 or even 5,800 members!"

"Yes." Hu Xiansheng explained, "These formations are present among the divines and the devils. But they are very expensive, requiring spatial stones to serve as the base and an Invincible to stabilize each formation. My research aims to achieve something else entirely. Their design is unsuitable for us. And not even they are capable of setting up these formations in the Allheaven Battlefield. They can only use these formations within their own realms where space is more stable."

Su Yu was surprised. The divines and devils had already developed their own teleportation formations?

Then again, that was understandable. Unlike the human race that had only stepped on the path of cultivation for a few hundred years, the divine and devil races had been cultivating for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The humans had a decent number of experts, but they still couldn't be compared with the divines and the devils in terms of accumulation.

Hu Xiansheng said, "Su Yu, four hundred thousand merit points for thirty percent shares. It's very cheap!"

"I don't have any money."

"Impossible! The prefect killed so many people and you collected all the merit cards!"

"Great Xia froze all those accounts."

"Fuck!" Hu Xiansheng cursed, "Xia Xiao'er is a bastard! Why did he freeze those accounts? So are you really broke? Wait, didn't you get someone to sell some stuff for a lot of merit points recently? If you only have ten thousand merit points or so, I'm willing to take a smaller investment as well..."

Su Yu said, "I need to save the money for my own research center."

"I thought the prefect agreed to sponsor it?"

"I need the money to buy what I need."

Hu Xiansheng anxiously said, "Come on! How about this? You don't need to invest in my research. Instead, I can rent three floors of my research center to you. There are six floors in total. For only ten thousand merit points per year, you can rent half of the floors. You only need to pay forty thousand merit points as a deposit. I can rent you the floors for three years first. I have all sorts of high-end machinery installed there. I also have a powerful Sunmoon defensive formation installed."

Su Yu calmly said, "Faculty Head, you're better off thinking about how you should handle the students during the next semester without Great Ming's fund. Also, after the faculty is taken away by the creditors in two months, the faculty will be shut down."

Hu Xiansheng asked, "You already know that?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Hu Xiansheng was completely speechless.

He felt very dispirited, behaving completely unlike a seventh-stage Mountainsea expert. he said, "Back then, I believed that I could complete this project in a few decades. This project is actually related to your fifth principal. Back then, he was a supporter of my project. He believed that I had a good goal. In his opinion, this is the type of project the geniuses of the multiple character faction should be involved in. Who knows...sigh."

After a long sigh, Hu Xiansheng asked, "Why don't you lend me ten thousand merit points? The new semester is starting. We can't let our students starve, right? They need willpower texts to form new characters and grow their cultivation as well. And they also need blood essence and source qi for their physical cultivation..."

Everything needed money. Hu Xiansheng didn't know what else he could do.
