Chapter 150: Battlefield Purchase

“Of course, this expenditure of Credit Points will definitely be worth it for you,” Bob said to Lei Yaotian.

“Planning the battlefield based on your own armed facilities means you can leverage the advantage of favorable terrain and maximize your armed superiority.” Bob, worried that Lei Yaotian might regret spending Credit Points, tried his best to persuade him of the benefits.

“Just think about it, Mr. Odin. As the purchaser of the war scenario, we can enter the war scenario an hour early to begin setting up defenses. This is a reward for merchants who buy war scenarios, and I thought you should know.”

“Hmm~~~”

Lei Yaotian was never a stingy person. If Credit Points were gone, he could always earn more. After all, since Bruce died, the energy trade had been entirely handled by Lei Yaotian himself. And in the near future, Sweet Potato could also make Lei Yaotian wealthy.

So when Bob mentioned buying a war scenario, Lei Yaotian was already tempted.

Now that Bob said merchants who purchased war scenarios could have the advantage of entering the battlefield early to set up defenses, how could Lei Yaotian hold back?

Even if it was only half an hour early to set up defenses, it would be enough to gain an advantage.

Although the System was very merchant-like, Lei Yaotian was willing to be exploited by the System at this time.

“I agree to buy a battlefield from the System, but I’m not sure if I have enough Credit Points on hand,” Lei Yaotian said with some distress.

Andrew whispered, “How much do you have? I have some here. The System just lifted the restrictions. Transfers are possible now!”

Hearing this, Lei Yaotian asked, “How much is in your account? I have over ten billion Credit Points left.” Andrew replied, “Not much, about five billion or so.”

Lei Yaotian roughly estimated that together, they had less than two hundred billion Credit Points. He wasn’t sure if it was enough to buy a war scenario…

“Since we’ve already entered the waiting-for-war state, the System has stopped transactions with other merchants. Can we still buy what we need?” Suddenly remembering that when they entered the war countdown, the System had locked their ability to trade with other merchants, so Lei Yaotian asked.

Bob said calmly, “We’re not trading with other merchants; we’re buying items directly from the System. There are no restrictions on that, so you can rest assured, Mr. Odin.”

So the System only restricted trading with other merchants, but purchasing items produced by the System was still allowed.

Wasn’t this a forced sale in disguise?

Lei Yaotian lifted his hand to brush his bangs, then said to Bob, “I have less than two hundred billion Credit Points on hand now. I don’t know if it’s enough to buy a war scenario.” Lei Yaotian told Bob his current situation.

Bob didn’t look disappointed; instead, he seemed quite satisfied.

“Not bad, better than I expected. I originally thought you might have around ten billion Credit Points at most. I didn’t expect you to have so many. Although buying a complete, satisfactory battlefield is impossible, this over one hundred billion Credit Points is enough to create a battlefield favorable to us.”

It turned out Bob, seeing that Lei Yaotian and Andrew were low-level merchants, didn’t think they could have many Credit Points. Even though Lei Yaotian had already paid fifty billion for the hiring fee, in Bob’s view, Lei Yaotian had already spent everything.

No matter what, he never expected that Lei Yaotian and Andrew could still gather so many Credit Points.

“Really, what business are these guys in to make so much money?” Bob muttered quietly.

If Bob knew that Lei Yaotian and Andrew had saved so many Credit Points in just over half a year by selling Sweet Potatoes and Energy, he would probably go crazy.

Because the amount of Credit Points Lei Yaotian and Andrew were using for this Dimensional War was more than other merchants could earn in a lifetime, unless they had Lei Yaotian’s good luck.

Of course, their own worlds also needed soil suitable for growing Sweet Potatoes and Energy particles in the air that could be collected.

Lei Yaotian, Andrew, and the three hired mercenary merchants were all Dimensional Merchants, so there was nothing to hide. Andrew immediately opened his Dimensional Trading Device, and a green three-dimensional light projected onto the metal wall of the meeting room.

Many functions were restricted by the System, but the System’s trading function was still available.

Andrew followed Bob’s instructions, and after some screen changes, the System’s battlefield purchase mode was finally activated.

Everyone looked quietly for a moment, then Bob said, “The three of us think that since we have the most Warships, the most advantageous battlefield would definitely be in space. That way, we can maximize the firepower of our Warships and allow our combat power to be fully utilized.”

Lei Yaotian had also thought of this.

He nodded and gave Andrew a look. Andrew operated his Dimensional Trading Device, continuously searching for a suitable space battlefield.

Galactic Battlefield (B-Level Galaxy)

Price: Three billion Credit Points.

No restrictions on Sci-Fi Series characters and weapons.

Mythology Type weapons and Magical Artifacts suppressed by 99%.

Fantasy Type characters and weapons suppressed by 99%.

Additional features available (Energy Turbulence) (Suppress enemy weapon power) (Sudden black holes) (Planet gravity effects)…

Lei Yaotian immediately liked this battlefield. First, it was large enough. And since it suppressed Mythology Type and Fantasy Type weapons and characters, that meant Sci-Fi Series weapons would shine here.

But the list of additional features below confused Lei Yaotian for a while. Finally, with Bob’s explanation, Lei Yaotian understood that these features needed to be purchased with Credit Points.

However, after seeing the prices, Lei Yaotian felt they were really worth it.

The Energy Turbulence feature only cost two billion Credit Points. After purchasing this feature, the buyer could release it at an appropriate time to disrupt enemy formations or directly impact enemy Warships with Energy Turbulence.

If the enemy’s Warship level was too low, then it was too bad. Such an outbreak of spatial turbulence could likely annihilate their entire fleet.

Moreover, after releasing Energy Turbulence, it could create an empty zone. Due to the nature of Energy Turbulence, basically any Warship that came into contact with it would be damaged.

Of course, this Energy Turbulence was uncontrollable and basically harmed both friend and foe.

But Lei Yaotian still bought it because he planned to use the advantage of early entry to release Energy Turbulence into the enemy’s camp in advance, delivering a preemptive strike.

At the same time, Lei Yaotian was very interested in the (Suppress enemy weapon power) feature. Especially when he saw that this feature cost ten billion Credit Points and could suppress enemy weapon power and armor by 50%, Lei Yaotian almost jumped up and cheered.

What did 50% mean? It basically meant the enemy’s damage was reduced by fifty for no reason, and our side’s defense was increased by 50%.

For space battles, this advantage was huge.

Without another word, Lei Yaotian bought this feature.

Now, he had just over four billion Credit Points left. He couldn’t afford any other features, which troubled him for a while.

“Sir, these over four billion Credit Points are still very useful. Do you think the System would pass up the chance to earn Credit Points?” Bob said mysteriously to Lei Yaotian.

Bob was extremely satisfied with such an employer.

Not only did the other party have money, but they also understood the way. They didn’t nitpick or calculate unnecessarily, and they didn’t hesitate to spend Credit Points when needed. Because of this, Bob felt their chances of winning had greatly increased.

“I hope the enemy doesn’t buy a battlefield too; then victory is almost 90% certain,” Bob thought.

Lei Yaotian looked up at Bob and asked, “You mean, we can add other things to this battlefield?”

Bob walked over to Andrew and guided him a bit. Under Bob’s guidance, Andrew operated his Dimensional Trading Device.

The three-dimensional image switched, and then images of Planets of varying sizes appeared.

“These Planets, you can buy them. Place them in this void however you like,” Bob said loudly to Lei Yaotian, pointing at the Planets. “In Cosmic Warfare, it’s not just weapons that can cause damage. Sometimes, making good use of these nearby Planets can also achieve the purposes of concealment and killing enemies.”

Lei Yaotian didn’t know much about Great Cosmic Era warfare. In his view, it was just Warships blasting each other.

But compared to Bob and the other two, Lei Yaotian was not on the same level at all.

In terms of certain concepts, Lei Yaotian had a generation gap.

“You tell me, and I’ll buy it. I’m not very familiar with Great Cosmic Era combat tactics, so I’ll leave it to you all!”

Lei Yaotian stood up and spoke very seriously to Bob and the others.

For such a good employer, Bob would naturally do his best. After all, this employer had no airs, was very easygoing, and most importantly, could listen to advice.

This made Bob and the others very happy.

“In my World, I mainly command Warship battles. Planning strategies isn’t my strong suit, so this task will be handled by my friend here,” Bob said, pushing forward a man in a blue military uniform with gold trim, who had golden hair, sea-blue eyes, was around thirty years old, and was incredibly mature and handsome.

“Ah~ Why does he have to be so handsome!!” Seeing such a mature handsome man, Lei Yaotian felt a bit jealous.
