Chapter 649: Too Much Money

"How do we become a key customer?"

"Do we have to purchase some membership? Join an alliance or what?"

"Can you tell us what other benefits a key customer can have? Does it have a higher rank? If so, how do we increase our rank?"

Swamped with questions, the receptionist patiently answered everyone’s inquiries.

First, to become a key member, they needed to be among the top 10 highest-purchasing customers in one of their branches.

Each year, after consolidating their purchases, they would be regarded as key customers, regardless of the sales results in the following year.

However, to increase it further and become a valued member, they needed to rank among the top three purchasing customers in a branch for 10 consecutive years.

Hearing this harsh requirement, many were quickly deterred.

To become a key customer, they couldn’t just pay the required amount; they had to compete with tens of thousands of teams and billions of individuals for the ranking.

Now that they knew how to become a key customer, the competition would only be fiercer.

Thinking of Jakari and those lucky teams who stumbled upon such a chance, they couldn’t help but grit their teeth.

Meanwhile, in the Neon Star Alliance Headquarters, Nash was called by Marcellin.

"Nash, how are you?"

"Marcellin? I’m fine. What about you? Did the Neon Battleship satisfy you?" Nash smiled, knowing his intention.

"More than satisfied! I didn’t expect those dark-technological battleships to be so high quality! How were you able to mass-produce them?"

Although many tried to mass-produce dark technology, the results were only mediocre.

Most were unstable and prone to degradation; even if usable, they would be downgraded by multiple levels, leading to waste of materials.

Testing the Neon Battleship, Marcellin had initially been curious.

However, after days of rigorous testing, the Neon Battleship stayed solid, fighting relentlessly without stopping.

Reporting the matter to the higher-ups of the Azure Heaven Alliance, he was quickly ordered to deepen his friendship with the Neon Star Alliance and order more Neon Battleships.

Although it was only a Tier 6 battleship, with enough numbers, they could cause devastating changes on the battlefield.

Especially since they absorb dark energy.

While others viewed it as a money-saver, a top-tier team like the Azure Heavenly Alliance saw it as a cleansing tool.

By absorbing dark energy, it could weaken its influence, making it easier to fight for and develop a territory.

"The Neon Battleship is great. Thus, I want to order more. How many do you think I can get?" Marcellin asked.

"How many? Due to limited production we can only spare you one million units. If you want more, you can only wait until we expand our production line," Nash said.

Selling four million units of Neon Battleship was already the limit.

Even if he had more materials, they wouldn’t be able to process them.

Furthermore, they couldn’t just work for money, could they?

Instead of more, they needed to first turn what they had into strength.

"Don’t worry, I’m not in a hurry. One million units is more than enough," Marcellin nodded in satisfaction.

Knowing the size of the Neon Star Alliance, it was already a miracle they could multiply their production capacity in just a year.

"I’m grateful for your understanding. As for the materials..."

"Don’t worry, just tell me what you need. I’ll sell it to you at a discount."

"Then I want to buy ten sets of the materials from before. Can it also be paid in installments?"

Ten sets were enough to build 100,000 production lines.

To afford the sets of materials, he needed at least 100 quadrillion.

However, with the down payment for the three million battleships, they only had 12 quadrillion so far.

Even with the renewal of rent for the storefronts, it still would not reach that amount.

"It’s not a problem. However, I can only set the time to five years," Marcellin agreed after some thought.

Mortgaging the land for installments was not a problem, as they still owned it regardless of what happened.

However, once the materials were given, they could not be returned.

"Thank you very much. This will be a huge help," Nash smiled.

Although they couldn’t build all 100,000 production machines at once, at least they had reserved the needed material.

In the future, even if their relationship with the Azure Heaven Alliance went awry, they had already secured the items.

Soon, after a little chatter, the two ended the call.

While waiting for the teleportation station to stabilize, Nash dealt with various matters for the alliance.

With the success of the Neon Star Tower and the sudden surge of popularity, the renewal of rent went smoothly.

Although the price increased a little, no one complained and happily paid the bill.

As a result, from 45 quadrillion before, they earned a whopping 60 quadrillion!

Coupled with the sale of battleships and other products they sold, the total revenue was 80 quadrillion!

Paying 20 quadrillion to Marcellin, they were left with 60 quadrillion.

Having so much money at hand, Nash didn’t even know where to spend it.

He had already bought enough resources for everyone in the Neon Star Alliance to train at the highest efficiency.

All the materials for production, defense, education, and military were also bought in full.

The only things left were the Tier 8 battleship and the large-scale defensive weapons, which were not for sale.

"It seems that having money is not enough."

Without a place to spend it, what difference is the money in his hand from the Sun Star Void?

At least the Sun Star Void could supply their training, arrays, and other needs.

As for these mountains of void source crystals, besides using them as charcoal for heat, they had no other uses.

"I hope the gathering a year from now will not be too disappointing," Nash thought with interest.

Given the convention of top-tier teams, there should be many rarities that could catch his eye.

By then, the money in his hand might not even be enough to buy one or two wondrous items.
