Bai Fu's negotiations with those companies went very smoothly, after all, this was her first time accepting advertisements, and she had put a great deal of effort into selecting cooperative companies.
What lingerie companies advertised, she certainly could not accept, and she also couldn't take on advertisements from companies with less-than-stellar reputations.
In the end, after discussing six advertising contracts, she easily netted over five million Credit Points.
This price was, in fact, a bit high, hiring an S-rank Superpower User for those dangerous delegations would require this much money, as for seeking stars and idols for advertisements... Anyhow, the stars and idols on the Star Network weren't worth this price, the reason these six companies offered the maximum contract amount was partly because Bai Fu had just recently boosted her Affinity with the Star Network People through the deeds of the Fula tribe, emerging with a pristine image that seemed to be etched with righteousness, and partly because Bai Fu was now affiliated with Star Contract, and Fei Ye had personally come to oversee things.
The price had to be high, right?
After seeing off the representatives of these companies, Bai Fu also met with a representative from the Pan Universe Delegation Platform in the Sea Lion Star System.
The Pan Universe Delegation Platform, placed within the entirely explored universe, was a behemoth of an entity; although the actual controller of the platform did not possess Super Supreme power, his network was extensive, maintaining good relationships with the three great cosmic civilizations, as well as most of the Super Supreme Rank Superpower Users.
Becoming the poster girl for such a platform, even if only for a regional branch, was very beneficial for Bai Fu to hype up her own fame.
The Pan Universe Delegation Platform wanted Bai Fu to become their poster girl this time, actually because her identity had also caught their attention.
The Queen from the Dark Domain, who registered on the Pan Universe Delegation Platform just two months ago, had abruptly become the top-stream figure of the Sea Lion Star System.
Talk about maximum advertising impact!
Join the Pan Universe Delegation Platform to become a Hunter, maybe the next Bai Fu could be you!
Bai Fu and the platform representative chatted and laughed with ease.
After learning about Bai Fu's plan to get her registered private armed company, Dark Moon Tide, up and running, the representative Ebel quickly expressed the possibility for a deeper collaboration, with the platform facilitating connections between Dark Moon Tide and potential clients, as a private armed company comprised of Undying People would surely draw significant customer attention.
The two sides reached an agreement on this, with Ebel paying Bai Fu 800,000 Credit Points, while Bai Fu helped him shoot a promotional video.
"Pleasure doing business with you, Miss Bai Fu!"
"Pleasure doing business!"
In just one day, Bai Fu had become a little wealthy lady with over six million in the bank.
With money in hand, of course, the next step was to shop!
"You want to buy Spiritual Ability Crystals?" Fei Ye called out to Bai Fu.
Bai Fu nodded, "What's wrong, is there an issue?"
Fei Ye replied, "Don't go to the trading center, it's too expensive there, and the Quality is mixed. Directly apply to Star Contract instead, for a large quantity, low-purity Spiritual Ability Crystals can be had for only 18,000 Credit Points each."
My goodness, 18,000, that's a whole 7,000 cheaper than buying from the trading center!
A saving of 7,000 per crystal, 100 crystals amount to 700,000, joining Star Contract and holding on to Fei Ye's coattails was a decision whose value just kept on rising!
Under Fei Ye's guidance, Bai Fu logged into the Star Contract internal mall and bought 200 low-purity Spiritual Ability Crystals in one go, then she also purchased large quantities of Prayer Card raw materials, Prayer Card Assembly Line raw materials, machinery manufacturing raw materials, as well as some special equipment.
For example, a virtual combat platform, like a low-level AI; these things she planned to set up in her headquarters on Ulysses Star, to serve Players.
While waiting for the goods to be delivered, Bai Fu shot advertisements with those six companies she had previously contracted and incidentally made several appearances on Bikong Star.
On the fifth day, the goods were delivered from Star Contract Headquarters to Bikong Star, Bai Fu instantly spent 30 crystals to upgrade her [Spiritual Ability Construction] and [Apostle Will] to Lv2, thereby she could now control two Spiritual Ability Constructions that could persist and be upgraded.
The first Spiritual Ability Construction was a Combat Suit, and the second was reserved for a weapon.
Bai Fu created a brand-new Spiritual Ability Construction modeled after the Dark Wand, then she invested another 34 crystals to upgrade both [Spiritual Ability Construction-Fu II] and [Spiritual Ability Construction-Dark Wand] to level 5.
At Lv5, the Fu II Combat Suit's attribute bonus turned into Power +70, Agility +112, and it also gained new features like color change (including becoming invisible), and a -5% physical damage function.
Lv5's Dark Wand could still switch between three forms freely, but with a faster switching speed, the active type Spiritual Ability Skill effects increased by 33%, and it also offered an additional 20 points of Inspiration, and a 20 point/second Spiritual Energy Recovery Speed.
The boost that these two Spiritual Ability Constructions brought to Bai Fu was very noticeable.
"-5% in physical damage, I've gotten tankier."
Bai Fu was secretly delighted.
With the Spiritual Ability Construction version of the Dark Wand in hand, the original was now rendered useless, she planned to use it as a prize – [Bai Fu's like-new 99% new Dark Wand], then use this prize as a gimmick to cut the Players' wheat on Ulysses Star after returning.
The method? Just like the last time she held a celebration on the Ancestral Origin Star, it doesn't matter if a method is old as long as it works, and besides, she had other tricks waiting for those Players who had accumulated so much Experience they were nearly overflowing.
Bai Fu handed over the remaining Spiritual Ability Crystals to Julia.
Julia was not modest with Bai Fu, the stronger her power became, the better she could assist Bai Fu, and the more indispensable she could make herself to Bai Fu.
After consuming 27 Spiritual Ability Crystals, she finally stopped, distinctly feeling a tremendous surge of heat flowing within her, blocked by a certain barrier; however, under the onslaught of the heat, the barrier eventually did not hold up and was directly blown away.
