Chapter 1272: Shocked Liu Wei! Transforming the Solar System!

"Ninety percent profit?!"

The two male assistants behind Lena stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

You should know that although Green Shade Star is merely a small life-bearing planet with a population of less than ten billion.

As an important trade transit hub for the nearby star domains, its annual interstellar trade profits reach as high as 50 billion Noah coins!

Ninety percent of the profits—that means 45 billion Noah coins must be handed over to Blue Star every year!

"Lord Xu, this... isn't this a bit..."

One of the assistants couldn't help but speak up, his voice trembling.

Lina raised her hand to stop the assistant, but she didn't speak either, as if weighing something.

The virtual reception room fell silent for a moment.

Ling Shuang stood beside Xu Jingming, her expression calm.

Liu Wei, on the other hand, looked somewhat astonished.

It's merely a trade alliance, yet they're demanding ninety percent of the other side's profits.

This can't even be called a negotiation—it's outright treating the other party as less than human!

You should know,

According to normal procedures, it should be them paying trade fees to Green Shade Star.

However, Xu Jingming is the Lord of Blue Star and holds absolute decision-making authority, so naturally she wouldn't speak up to object.

"My time is limited. I'll give you one minute. If you haven't made up your minds by then, forget it."

Xu Jingming sat down in his seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

The mark of the Thunder Law Seed at his brow flickered with a faint glow under the virtual lighting.

Combined with his already sharp aura, it added a certain pressure to the entire reception room.

"Agreed."

After a few more seconds, Lina took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:

"Our Green Shade Star is willing to hand over ninety percent of our interstellar trade profits to Blue Star in exchange for a trade alliance with Blue Star."

"Minister!" The two assistants beside her cried out almost simultaneously.

Lina paid no heed to their shock and continued:

"However, we hope this agreement can last for at least two hundred years.

And Blue Star must guarantee Green Shade Star priority on the trade routes."

"A wise choice."

Xu Jingming wasn't too surprised by this decision. "But as a mere trade minister, can you really make decisions on behalf of Green Shade Star?"

"Of course. To be honest, my father is the planetary lord of Green Shade Star.

Before coming to negotiate this time, he had already granted me full authority to handle this matter."

Lina straightened her back and said with a confident smile.

"Then that's settled."

Xu Jingming nodded in realization, then turned to look at Liu Wei standing nearby:

"The follow-up details of the cooperation will be handled by you."

Only then did Liu Wei snap out of her shock and hurriedly nod: "O-okay! I'll definitely handle it well!"

Her big eyes were filled with disbelief.

Just a few minutes ago, she had been frantic over goods worth 3 billion being detained.

Now she was suddenly told that Green Shade Star was willing to hand over hundreds of billions in annual profits!

This change came too quickly, giving her an unreal feeling.

"In that case, Lord Xu, we'll take our leave."

Lina gracefully bowed. "Miss Liu, my assistant will contact you shortly to arrange the specific signing details."

With that, she left the reception room with her two assistants, who were still in shock.

"Chief, how could they agree to such harsh conditions?

Ninety percent of the profits! This... this is simply..."

After the reception room's door automatically closed, Liu Wei finally couldn't hold back.

Her voice was trembling, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"Xiao Wei, you're still underestimating Jingming's influence."

Ling Shuang's melodious voice rang out.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Wei blinked in confusion.

"Hmph, let me explain!"

Eva's figure appeared in the room.

In the virtual world, she isn't a hologram—she has a physical form as well.

Her green twin-tails swayed cheerfully with her movements.

"S-rank is now the hottest genius at Noah Sanctuary!

He shone brilliantly at the Sanctuary Exchange Tournament, and even the Lingshu Sanctuary wants to poach him!"

Eva proudly puffed out her small chest and put her hands on her hips:

"Not to mention he's been accepted as a true disciple by an Eternal Divine Spirit—his future prospects are limitless!

Being able to cooperate with Blue Star should be Green Shade Star's honor!"

Liu Wei listened, stunned silent.

Although she knew Xu Jingming was doing well in the Noah Empire, she never imagined he had reached this level.

Limited by their thinking, they understood little of the cosmic stars.

They only knew the Immortal Gods were extraordinary figures.

"But… but ninety percent profit is too much, isn't it?"

She still found it hard to believe.

At that moment, Xu Jingming stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the virtual reception room.

Outside the window was a virtual simulation of the vast cosmos, countless stars glittering within it.

"Not much."

He spoke calmly, "Green Shade Star values my current status and influence, even my future potential.

For them, even if I never achieve Immortal Godhood, merely reaching Cosmic Stage would already be a massive gain."

Don't think Cosmic Stage experts are rare in the Noah Holy Land.

Even the Ninth Prince's bodyguards are Cosmic Stage.

But across the boundless universe, Cosmic Stage is unquestionably a dominant power.

The emergence of a Cosmic Stage expert on a life-bearing planet can exert deterrent power over an entire nearby star region.

"I see."

Liu Wei finally understood.

"Liu Wei, you handled this matter excellently.

Getting Blue Whale Corporation to this scale in just half a year—your contribution is indispensable."

Xu Jingming looked at Liu Wei and said.

He hadn't expected a martial arts hall assistant to manage interstellar trade so adeptly.

"It's all I should have done…"

Liu Wei's cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head, embarrassed.

"As a reward, I'll transfer one hundred million Cosmic Coins to your account."

Xu Jingming continued.

"One… one hundred million Cosmic Coins?!"

Liu Wei snapped her head up, her voice trembling.

That sum equaled ten billion Noah Coins!

Remember, their Blue Star was worth less than three billion Noah Coins altogether.

Xu Jingming nodded: "Two million is your personal bonus—use it however you like.

The rest has two purposes.

First, to upgrade Blue Star's infrastructure, especially the interstellar port and trade center.

Second, begin modifying several nearby planets to make them habitable for humans."

"Jingming, you're preparing for colonization?"

Ling Shuang immediately understood Xu Jingming's intent.

"Yes. Entering the interstellar age, Blue Star's population will only grow.

It's better to start modifications early."

Xu Jingming smiled.

After his last return, he had already begun modifications.

But due to funding issues, they were limited to Blue Star alone.

For example, planting Soul-Spirit Flowers, deploying surveillance satellites in outer space, and so on.

Now that funds are abundant, naturally, the modifications must expand across the entire Solar System.

As his homeworld, he didn't want any accidents to befall Blue Star—or the Solar System.
