Chapter 246: Procurement of Materials.
Now Sander's mind was preoccupied with the supplies he had purchased for the Wolf Pack, wondering when they would be delivered.
At the last auction, the sale of supplies provided by the Wolf King made Sander a fortune.
The following ten-plus pounds of Gold-patterned Travel Meat Quality fetched a sky-high price of 850 million Alliance Currency, sparking a frenzied scramble among the New Humans.
After all, this near-SSS-level Pure Energy flesh was a favorite of powerful New Humans, and could support their rapid strength enhancement.
As for the grand finale, the thirty feathers of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk, they were auctioned for 27 billion Alliance Currency. They were acquired by a Russian official research institution, implying that Russia's official Perfect-Level Battle Armor would be enriched by two more suits.
Now Sander had more than 36 billion Alliance Currency at his disposal,
During this time, through Mord's network, Sander had purchased 200,000 Auxiliary Potions of Pure Energy absorption, 5,000 Healing Potions, and 3,000 Fury Potions that forcibly stimulated strength.
The Auxiliary Potion was the cheapest, with each one priced at only 2,000 Alliance Currency, equivalent to twenty to thirty thousand US Dollars.
Though these were considered cheap, they still amounted to two to three years' worth of expenses for an average citizen.
It is for this reason that even if ordinary citizens became New Humans, they had no chance to climb the social ladder, constrained by their wealth.
Sander used to be like this,
Despite his good potential, during his first year as a New Human, he almost made no progress,
He could only maintain his livelihood by risking his life alongside his team leader, Bob, for meager pay.
As for these Potions, they were simply unattainable.
Now, aside from purchasing Auxiliary Potions, Sander also bought many other Potions.
However, the rest of the Potions were much more expensive because most of their ingredients came from Mutated Creatures.
The Healing Potions were priced at 10,000 Alliance Currency, and the Fury Potions at 30,000.
Just these Potions alone cost nearly 20 billion Alliance Currency.
Additionally, Sander spent a billion Alliance Currency on a large quantity of specially made durable building materials, preparing to construct a splendid palace for the Wolf King and the Wolf Pack within the Wolf Pack Territory.
Besides that, he also purchased a large amount of food ingredients and spices from human society, planning to please the Wolf King with various delicacies upon his return.
As long as he could gain the Wolf King's favor, Sander believed that any effort was worthwhile.
Because the Wolf King was the faith of all members of the Wolf Pack and their protective deity.
With the Wolf King present, the Wolf Pack could develop and grow further.
With the Wolf King present, Sander's spiritual pillar in his heart also remained.
With these thoughts, Sander's focus had long been on the procurement of supplies, and he had grown impatient with the discussions in the council hall.
During the break, he left the council hall
After leaving, he used Mord's connections again to get in touch with a major research institute, intending to spend a significant amount of money for the institute to create several First-Class Mechas and twenty to thirty Second-rate Mechas.
Over these days, Sander had naturally come to understand the price of First-Class Mechas made from Carbon Blocks. Enjoy new stories from empire
Each completed Mecha was priced at no less than two billion Alliance Currency, nearly three billion US Dollars.
Even for the New Humans at the Peak of combat power, it was a significant sum.
Now, Sander was set to invest fifteen billion Alliance Currency in Mechas, planning to buy several First-Class Battle Armors and twenty to thirty Second-rate Battle Armors.
These Battle Armors were custom-designed for the lead wolves and high-ranking Beta Wolves of the Tenth Faction of the Wolf Pack, based on their memories of body shapes.
Furthermore, these Battle Armors had clasps that allowed for three to five meters of body size adjustments, specifically designed to account for rapid strength and size increases of the lead and high-ranking Beta Wolves.
Such clasps on the Mecha weren't just something Sander had custom-made; many standard human Mechas had them too.
After all, every New Human harbored the wish for their strength to skyrocket again, and no one wanted to be left behind.
In this post-catastrophic world, it was not just humans but all Species that needed to evolve and enhance their strength frantically.
In such a chaotic world, all Species were like boats struggling against the current, if not advancing, then retreating; standing still would only make one a stepping stone for other powerhouses!
However, the research institute, while curious about Sander's order for Mechas designed for beast use, did not inquire too much.
Because in this world, new professions like Beast Tamers and Spirit Communicators, who communicate with Exotic Beasts, Exotic Grass, Exotic Flowers, and Giant Trees have already emerged.
Since there was no stock of Beasts' Mechas, they had to be built on demand.
Thus, even if the entire research institute worked overtime, it would still take several days for delivery.
After all, the manufacturing process for each Mecha was so complex it was beyond imagination.
Most importantly, they had to be fitted with a Nuclear Source.
Nuclear Sources needed approval; condensing controllable Nuclear Sources also required a lot of high-end technology, and this was a time-consuming process.
Now, aside from using his position as the commander of Mord's Siberian Combat Zone to shorten the approval process and urging them as well, Sander could do little more.
After leaving the council hall, Sander once again led his group of Inuit attendants to the human black market.
Because within the Wolf Pack, having only thousands of Inuits who lacked military training seemed too weak.
He planned to select and purchase some militarily trained Servants from the human black market.
