There was silence for a while before Ivan blurted out, "This, this much? But there's no need for that at all, I'm just helping you out and to look at the scene. You know I'm happy to help you." By the second half of the sentence, young Ivan had clearly calmed down.

Luo XiaoLou didn't correct Ivan's use of words either, what else could he expect with Arthur, the pirate leader. Luo XiaoLou just smiled and said, "I understand you're willing to help me, but Ivan, it's what you deserve. Believe me, I'll have more things for you to help me with in the future. If you don't agree, I'll have to find someone else."

Ivan hesitated for a moment and agreed, he wanted to help Luo XiaoLou manage the material base so he could learn a lot again. In that case, he would try to do more in the future. Ivan was confident in himself, and even without Arthur, he would be able to feed himself well. He could learn the cultivation materials from Luo XiaoLou and Bai Heng. As for the usual planting management, he could also get help from others. Anyway, with Arthur there, no one would dare to bluff him in Grey Galaxy.

Luo XiaoLou was very satisfied, and asked while the iron was hot, "Then you can help me ask first, how many years can I rent it at most? What's the rent?"

The Ivan brand messenger pigeon ran off again to mutter to Arthur for a while and came back to report to Luo XiaoLou, "Arthur said five years, after which the lease can be renewed if both parties are interested. The rent depends on the size of the area to be rented."

This could be a bit of a problem, Luo XiaoLou considered and said, "Ivan, I've only been with you once and I'm not familiar with the area, can you tell me about the surrounding terrain, it would be better if there was an actual view."

Ivan said cheerfully, "That's easy to do, Arthur and the others have recorded a panoramic view of the city's periphery when they expanded. Wait a moment and I'll pass it on to you." Without much effort, Ivan sent over the actual map of that area, and also gave a detailed explanation for Luo XiaoLou. He usually frequented that area and knew the surrounding terrain, soil and vegetation very well.

After asking Ivan carefully, he chose five of the hills and realized that he had been too greedy. After a long day of comparison, he was reluctant to give up any of them. Perhaps those five mountains didn't have many advanced materials right now, but the soil, terrain, and even the climate were all quite good for growing many kinds of materials, and even advanced materials could be cultivated well. Coupled with the high yield and high quality of the Grey Galaxy material, if there was such a huge supply pool of materials, the profits gained in the future would be incalculable.

Ivan went back to ask Arthur for Luo XiaoLou for the dilemma and came back to tell Luo XiaoLou the rent.

"These five hills are worth $250 million a year, and the rent for five years is $1.25 billion." Ivan said in a desperate voice.

After hearing the rent, Luo XiaoLou was dumbfounded, and his frenzy for materials immediately dropped. He just realized that in thinking about renting the place out, he forgot about the rent issue. He hadn't expected it to be such a large sum of money, and although he hadn't lacked money in the past two years, he hadn't saved any either – especially with his joint efforts with 125.

After hesitating for two seconds, Luo XiaoLou ruthlessly said, "I know. Ivan, you tell Arthur that I want to rent this place, ten million dollars for me to keep my spot. But I'm going to raise the money first, I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Good." Ivan was relieved that he hadn't told Luo XiaoLou that Arthur said that if someone else rented it, it would cost at least three hundred million a year, giving Luo XiaoLou a much lower price point, he had been worried that Luo XiaoLou wouldn't come.
