Chapter 1176 - 409: Dead End, On Edge
Many people in Nanyang are almost scared to death now.
Because the countless lost souls disappeared again, just like yesterday.
They’re really afraid that those lost souls might vanish from this place only to suddenly appear again over a thousand kilometers away.
The people who died in the past two days haven’t even been cremated yet, and no one dares to bury them. Meanwhile, next door to Divine Land, a member of the Nanyang Union has quietly reached out to the Scorching Sun Department to inquire about the safest way to handle the bodies of those killed by the lost souls.
The Scorching Sun Department wasn’t secretive about it and told them that cremating with a Luxury Furnace or an Enhanced Luxury Furnace, and then scattering the ashes into the sea, is the safest method.
Then, the other party expressed a desire to purchase three sets of Luxury Furnaces.
The Scorching Sun Department said there was no stock, and the fastest delivery would be in four months.
The other party said they could pay extra.
The Scorching Sun Department said it’s not about the money; it’s because the previous orders are already spoken for.
The other party said they could pay a little more and help lobby to see if any customers could be persuaded to let them have their turn first.
The Scorching Sun Department said this really couldn’t be done.
The other party said, pay extra, plus in a matter currently under negotiation with Divine Land, we can make concessions.
Seeing the sincerity of the other party, the Scorching Sun Department felt quite troubled and said that they could dismantle a mostly new set of their own and let them use it first.
Then the Scorching Sun Department sold them a set of Luxury Furnace with the corresponding system for eighty million per set.
Including the furnace body itself, plus the exhaust purification, fuel supply, and a series of other things, they could have it installed within seven days at most.
During these seven days, some other things would be given first, and experts would be sent on a business trip to ensure there would be no issues with the corpses of those who were killed.
The General Director approved this transaction, naturally knowing the first-hand information, and according to Wen Yan’s account, those who were killed by the lost souls wouldn’t even have the chance to become undead.
As for becoming a ghost, it’s even more impossible; their souls are torn apart among the group of lost souls, the torn parts get sucked into the group of lost souls, crushed and crushed again, and literally don’t even have the chance to go to hell.
The Scorching Sun Department saw the sincerity of the other party and shared their judgment, but the other party kept saying "yes, yes, yes," but in reality, they were more eager to purchase. What can be done?
The other party even feels that you’re saying this just to avoid selling to them because someone else offered a higher price!
It wasn’t that no one asked the Scorching Sun Department before, but as soon as the department opened their mouth, it would be over ten million a unit, and no one bought, feeling it was more cost-effective to hire people instead.
After all, not just anyone can manufacture the Scorching Sun Department’s Luxury Furnaces.
The ordinary version is fine, the manufacturing difficulty isn’t too high, but the Enhanced Luxury Furnace’s cost in Divine Land itself starts at fifty million.
There’s no way the enhanced version would be sold outside; it’s already the latest version.
The ordinary version of the Luxury Furnace could be sold as an export version, but there was just no market for it.
Even the people in the Scorching Sun Department didn’t anticipate the affair with the Nanyang Union would have the most direct and fastest impact on Divine Land, making their cremation system a coveted item.
Previously, at eight million a unit, with matching systems and three annual maintenances, no one wanted them.
They never planned to make any money; any money earned was to be reinvested into future research and development.
Selling them outside was purely to keep the production of many parts ongoing, prevent technicians from becoming rusty, and try to lower costs by the way.
With replicable production, naturally, the larger the quantity, the lower the cost per unit.
Who would’ve thought, now even second-hand ones have been raised to eighty million, and people still feel you’re righteous, luckily we had a good relationship before, and in urgent matters, you truly lend a hand.
Something that always operated at a loss suddenly turned profitable, with the profit margin skyrocketing to over eight hundred percent.
No one in the Scorching Sun Department foresaw any of this.
In the headquarters, the General Director just signed the documents, gathering available parts to assemble a few units to sell off first.
The future can be dealt with later.
He looked up and saw a notification on a nearby computer, indicating Wen Yan had changed location and already appeared in Virtue City.
He rubbed his temples, thinking, Wen Yan is really moving quickly.
He couldn’t quite keep up; how did Wen Yan come back?
What about those lost souls?
He picked up the phone, pondered, recalled the Black Box’s previous reply, sighed internally, and put the phone back down; Wen Yan must be exhausted enough.
Since Wen Yan dares to come back, it means there is no problem; otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned home.
The ensuing matters are actually just beginning to unfold, and these things are what the Scorching Sun Department needs to do.
On the internet within Divine Land, a lot of information is already starting to spread, albeit still under control, in a state between truth and falsehood, like looking at foreign magical news.
The trending topics still highlight this celebrity cheating, that celebrity’s new drama launching.
Yet, a vast amount of information has already started circulating among the people.
The workload of the Scorching Sun Department has started to increase continuously, and the workload of other related departments is also on the rise.
Even on novel websites, the supernatural fiction category that was cut off years ago; now some people start writing new books on supernatural themes and surprisingly find nothing wrong?
Changes and impacts are comprehensive and will appear in many unexpected places.
