Chapter 784: Chapter 778: Idiot

“Really? I think this is quite decent. Although its defense and mobility are a bit lacking, if I buy a bunch of them and place them in a formation, surely it would make any enemy quake in their boots, right? I don’t intend to engage in offense anyway.” Finn Lewis spoke outright, even blocking the plump fellow before him.

Just as Marlon Murray started to speak, Mike was already preparing to counter, but he didn’t anticipate Finn to speak before he could. Mike almost burst into laughter. Such a customer would honestly be a godsend, and it looked like this business deal would indeed be a success.

“Your Highness, you’re really useless,” Marlon became impatient.

“Never mind, being useless is fine. I find this thing fascinating. At most, I’ll just buy it as a toy. How much it costs for one?” Finn turned back and asked the plump fellow. After he inquired, he added, “I’ll agree beforehand that although I’m rich, I’m not a fool. If the price is too high considering its poor mobility and defensive capabilities, rest assured, I won’t buy it.”

“Yes, yes, Your Highness, you certainly are wise. This machine has its advantages and disadvantages. Despite its many flaws, its price is a corresponding advantage. It only costs 300,000 credits each, Your Highness. It has the main cannon of a first-rate warship, of course. And I meant it in star credits, not in federal coins.” The plump man spoke quickly.

“Talking nonsense. I never use federal coins. I only deal in star credits. 300,000? So cheap? Not bad, get me a thousand of these,” Finn commanded, speaking quickly.

The surrounding crowd nearly passed out upon hearing the number. God, you claimed not to be a fool? You’re a colossal goddamn fool! It’s still cheap? God, this is freaking expensive! At most, this damn thing is worth fifty or sixty thousand credits, and that’s only because of its first-rate warship’s main cannon.

If not, it doesn’t even deserve that price. It doesn’t have any use. If you’re trying to fend off space pirates, just buy a few large warships. Why so many? And those are much more powerful than this.

All they could say was His Highness Miller was a complete idiot. Countless people made that conclusion about Finn. Marlon Murray saw everything go dark before his eyes. However, he still tried to persuade Finn with an urgent look on his face. But Finn quickly stopped him and signed an agreement with the plump man.

Upon hearing the order, the plump man almost passed out. To be honest, this was something their family researched and produced a batch of with the intention to conquer a native civilization in a small star system. In the end, that planet surrendered directly. And even after surrendering, they had already proven that this object was pure rubbish.

So the question was, how should they deal with these things after they became obsolete? Their family had even produced such a large number in advance. Excluding the broken ones, there were still 800 left. Each of these things cost as much as 100 thousand credits to manufacture, and there was no demand for them.

Even someone willing to sell at a loss had no buyers. Nobody was stupid enough to buy this thing to place it in their own star system as a fixed gun turret. Besides, it wasn’t even as good as a fixed gun turret, was it? At least you don’t have to manage the fixed gun turret, right? And it didn’t have such high energy demands.

But this thing did have some high energy demands. Although he was assigned this task and he used this item to scam Finn, honestly, he didn’t think it would work. And, he sold it at such a price… but, there was a problem. He didn’t have a thousand of these. He only had 800.

“Your Highness, we appreciate your interest in our product, and we’re very pleased and honored, Your Highness. However, our stock is not enough for your need. We only have around 800 of these in stock, so we can only provide you with 800.” The plump man spoke quickly.
