Chapter 749: Then We Need to Discuss the Issue with That Piece of Land
"Mr. Otto, I always put people first in business, so why don't you go in and switch out a couple of items?" Zhang Menglong suggested; he felt a bit uneasy about the money he had made.
"Impossible, how could this be a coffin? You must be talking nonsense!" Otto also knew about Zhang Menglong's character pretty well, about seventy to eighty percent. This Huaxia man was full of dirty tricks, always loving nothing more than to disgust someone.
Maybe he was hoping that Otto would give up the two valuable items and deliberately said that. Zhang Menglong was capable of doing anything.
"Are you sure? You can't back out later!" Zhang Menglong confirmed.
"Humph! Trying to trick me? Impossible!" Otto looked completely confident, believing that Zhang Menglong definitely didn't want him to take those two items.
Just now, Zhang Menglong had been furiously scamming people; now, he was suddenly suggesting letting Otto switch out two items by himself. Did he really have such good intentions? Unless the sun rose from the west, he would never do such a thing.
"Alright then, everyone heard that. It was Mr. Otto's own choice. You can't blame me!" Zhang Menglong found the instruction manuals for those two items on his computer, "Let me give you a demonstration!"
Zhang Menglong walked over to the coffin and pressed the start button. It had to be admitted, the stuff from this civilization was really impressive; even after thousands of years, there was still no battery drain. Not even an Energy Ring from Nanfu batteries could compare!
The coffin lit up with multi-colored lights and even started playing music!
"Good gracious, what kind of Underworld music is this?"
"Listening to this music, it doesn't sound like something Humans would listen to."
Otto's complexion began to change, although he didn't know exactly what the music was, the melody sounded rather ominous.
With a "snap!" Zhang Menglong pressed another button; the temperature inside the coffin began to rise rapidly.
"This is the cremation function. Its highest temperature can reach nearly 20,000 degrees Celsius, basically after burning there really will be nothing left but ashes," Zhang Menglong explained. "This blue button is the preservation function; it can basically keep a body from decomposing for about 500 years."
"Oh, and there's this function too!" Zhang Menglong pressed another colorful button, "As soon as you press this, a large amount of Gunpowder and bone ash mixes together. This coffin can launch up to a 500-meter-high aerial explosion, letting you achieve your final burst of glory!"
"Good gracious, if this were used to bury his own mother, it'd be blasting his mom to bits!"
"Crushing bones and scattering ashes isn't usually like this."
"The product manager who designed this coffin is absolutely incredible!"
...
Seeing these features, if Otto still didn't believe that this thing was truly a coffin, then he was honestly an idiot.
As for that toilet, there was a high chance that it was indeed a real toilet, though it was a toilet dressed in high-tech apparel—but it was still a damn toilet!
Had he really spent hundreds of billions of US Dollars, and was he actually carrying a coffin and a toilet from this warehouse?
The real kicker was, Zhang Menglong had given him a chance earlier, he had even given a friendly warning, but he hadn't cherished it!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
Anger made the electric currents uncontrollably flow from his body, directly turning that coffin and toilet into two pieces of junk metal.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go too!"
They had taken what they needed, and although a lot of money was spent, most countries still had some gains.
As for the remaining items, they were all Zhang Menglong's spoils of war—they certainly did not want to watch Huaxia transport planes flying in one after another!
No particular reason, just jealousy!
"Don't rush off!" Zhang Menglong called after them, "Look, it's really deep underground, it isn't easy for everyone to get out, how about I see you all off?"
"See us off? What do you mean?"
"Ergouzi, report the status of the spaceship!"
"[Report, master, the spaceship has sustained 2.7% damage, the power system is intact, geothermal charging is complete, the nuclear reactor has been reignited, and we can start traveling at any time!]"
"Where did the deal come from?"
"It's on this spaceship! Zhang Menglong has taken control of this spaceship!"
During an Artificial Intelligence competition in Huaxia, Zhang Menglong had created an AI called Ergouzi, which had performed a highly complex surgery and later was extensively covered by media worldwide.
This thing can now even successfully control spaceships from other civilizations? How on earth did he manage that? Is he a monster?
"Prepare to take off, check if there is anyone nearby."
"Check complete, no human traces within the impact radius."
"Everyone, hold tight!"
"Ergouzi, take off!"
Though it was deeply buried under the glacier, the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers was all glacier, and it did not affect the continental plate. The surrounding icebergs began to collapse as the gravity engine crushed the iceberg above, and the spaceship ascended at an extremely fast pace.
"It's really flying!"
Feeling the continuously accelerating spaceship, all the Psychics soured. Their initial goal was just the materials inside the spaceship, but who would have thought that Zhang Menglong would be even more ruthless, taking the spaceship away overnight?
The spaceship stopped in the skies over the mountains, the anti-gravity system made almost no noise, and it gradually became invisible with optical camouflage. Even if he now drove the spaceship over the capital of various countries for a spin, no one would notice.
"Alright, everyone, our journey through the icebergs ends here. You can take your belongings and disembark now, I won't see you out!"
Though they felt envious and resentful, they could only leave the spaceship one by one with their belongings, except for the Psychics of Tsarist Russia.
You must know, the spaceship had landed within their territory. According to the current international treaty on unidentified flying objects, anything that falls into a country belongs to that country; rightly this thing had fallen into Tsarist Russia, so it should belong to them.
"Mr. Zhang, the items in this warehouse could only be accessed because of you, it's understandable for you to take these things away, but the spaceship fell onto our territory, it should belong to us. Is it right for you to just take it?" Orevesky, despite lacking conviction, still had to make an effort.
"How is that not quite right?" Zhang Menglong said, "If it weren't for me, could you have entered this spaceship? Now that I have control of the spaceship, it belongs to me!"
"But it fell on our territory, it should belong to Tsarist Russia."
"If you're going to say that, then I'm simply not tired!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call and ask!"
"Mr. Zhang, have you finished dealing with your matters?" Hong Yi asked concernedly.
"Yes, it's settled, I want to ask you something, do we own any land in Tsarist Russia?"
"Which piece are you referring to?"
"Oh? You mean there's quite a lot?"
"Yes," Hong Yi replied, "During their period of disintegration, because the boundary of land resources was unclear, your grandfather bought a lot of land, most of which were open and uninhabited areas because they were cheap, but there's also one piece of land that is extremely valuable."
"Where is it?"
"Right in the central area of their capital. Almost all important government buildings are on that piece of land. The property rights are perpetual, and currently, they still have to pay us 1.7 billion US dollars in rent every year, and it's increasing year by year."
"Got it, I know!"
Zhang Menglong hung up the phone, a smile playing on his face as he looked at Orevesky, "Mr. Orevesky, according to what I know, that piece of land in the center of your capital is ours."
"According to your logic, what's on your land belongs to you, then what's on my land should belong to me, right? Shouldn't we now talk about that piece of land?"
