Chapter Title: One Person Equal to a Million-Strong Army?
-------------------------------------
On the frozen meat side, Su Yi's childhood friend had already prepared the goods. A full two tons would be delivered tomorrow to a cold storage warehouse Su Yi had rented in advance. Combined with the recently bought eight tons of fresh fruits and vegetables, the ten tons of fruits, vegetables, and meat he promised to Vivi could all be traded over tomorrow.
This would resolve the finishing touches of his first transaction on the trading platform.
A great weight was lifted from Su Yi’s heart.
However, this night’s business wasn’t over yet.
He had previously contacted Old Liu to trade another twenty kilograms of gold.
Old Liu's side had also agreed, but this time, the location agreed upon by both parties was exactly as Su Yi had expected. It wasn’t the business club located in the city center where they had met last time, but a rather remote resort in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.
Nominally, it was because the amount of money involved was too large, making it unsafe to complete the transaction in a place like the city center.
As for what the actual situation was, it was unknown to Su Yi.
If it were before, he would absolutely not have gone.
Of course, if he was really stupid enough to reveal to the outside world that he had so much gold without anything to rely on, and if the other party truly harbored malicious intentions, then whether he went or not actually wouldn't make much of a difference. An organization engaged in this kind of gray industry wasn’t something he could contend with.
But now it was different.
With Yue Ling's close protection, on this piece of land in Jiuzhou, as long as he wasn't targeted by the authorities, basically no one could do anything to him.
Previously, he had already used videos to show Yue Ling the lethal power of some modern weapons in detail.
After watching them, Yue Ling gave him a very conservative answer based on Su Yi's request.
With her around, no firearms could harm him.
Even when facing an artillery attack with a kill radius exceeding fifty meters, she was confident that she could retreat unscathed with him.
As for more powerful weapons, lacking corresponding video data, she wasn't so sure.
But this was already enough.
With her as his reliance, Su Yi could be said to have no fear whatsoever towards Old Liu and the organization behind him.
Naturally, there was no such thing as not daring to go in his dictionary now.
What was more, he had also promised Sun Wang that he would go and sign the letter of intent tomorrow, and at that time, he still had to pay ten million as a deposit.
If he didn't go, where would he get so much money?
......
At ten o'clock at night, having just finished dinner with Sun Wang, Su Yi rushed to the Jiangsen Villa Resort, which was also located in the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng.
He quickly found the location agreed upon with Old Liu.
As his old acquaintance, Old Liu was already waiting for him at the door.
After their eyes met, Old Liu didn't say much, and he also didn't ask much about Yue Ling, who was following behind Su Yi.
There were even fewer procedures than before like those body searches that were seen in underground transactions in those triad movies.
After a simple greeting, he led Su Yi and Yue Ling into a rather inconspicuous villa.
However, when entering the door, Old Liu still instructed them in a low voice:
"The one handling your transaction is a big shot. They happened to be free today and, after hearing about this matter, came to handle this in passing. You definitely won't be cheated out of your money. Just pay attention to your own attitude."
Although Su Yi didn't know what kind of big shot was waiting for him, to think that he had to pay attention to his attitude just to sell his gold…
But he could also see that the other party was kindly reminding him, so he didn't say much and just nodded to indicate that he understood.
He then carried his briefcase that was full of gold and walked into the villa with Yue Ling.
Old Liu didn't enter with them and just waited at the door.
After entering, the one leading the way was another very capable-looking, fierce, and indifferent man in a suit. At a glance, one could tell that his combat power wasn’t weak. He was probably a bodyguard or the like.
Su Yi turned around and asked Yue Ling in a low voice in the language of the other world:
"For people with this kind of combat power, what's the maximum number you can deal with?"
Hearing this, Yue Ling glanced at the bodyguard leading the way, then she shook her head.
Su Yi thought she hadn't seen this bodyguard make a move yet and thus couldn't assess his strength, so it wasn't appropriate for her to just casually throw out an answer.
But he didn't expect to hear her say the next moment:
"They're just ordinary people. No matter how many come, they won't pose any threat to me.
According to the division of strength in our world, my martial arts strength has already reached the level of an Eclipse Moon Knight. Even in an army with powerful individuals in our world, under the condition that there’s no existence of the same level as me in the opposing army, I can easily come and go freely from hundreds of thousands. Unless I don't want to live anymore and insist on clashing head-on with hundreds of thousands of troops until I die of exhaustion, an army of hundreds of thousands can do nothing to me.
Of course, with my martial arts strength alone, I can't wipe out these armies either.
But at the same time, I’ve also developed my elven magic, and its strength has reached the level of a Grand Mage. I can release some less powerful forbidden spells. So if there’s no existence of the same level as me in the opposing army, I can also try to bury that army of hundreds of thousands completely with magic."
"!!!"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment.
Previously, he only knew that Yue Ling should be very strong. Even in their world with extraordinary power, she could be considered an expert.
But this was the first time she had described her combat power in detail to him.
An enemy of hundreds of thousands of people, and these hundreds of thousands of people were modeled after the armies of the other world, where individual combat power was far stronger than in Blue Star.
If she wasn't bragging, then her combat power was simply overpowered when placed on Blue Star, alright.
Placed on the cold weapon battlefields of Blue Star, wouldn't that truly be one person equal to a million-strong army?
Of course, that was only on cold weapon battlefields.
The armies of the other world were only individually stronger than the people of Blue Star. How their specific combat power compared to the modern armies of Blue Star was still open to debate.
After all, the development paths of the two worlds were different.
Moreover, Blue Star had true weapons of mass destruction like ‘mushroom eggs’.
Last night, when he had nothing to do, in order to understand which was stronger or weaker between the peak powers of the two worlds, Su Yi had specially dug out the various data of the Tsar Bomba and showed it to Yue Ling.
After reading it, Yue Ling exclaimed that it was outrageous.
In her words, if the Martial Gods and Magic Gods of her world who had cultivated martial arts and magic to the extreme took a hit from this thing, they would probably be put to sleep on the spot.
And the forbidden spells she had mentioned were actually just a type of large-scale destructive magic.
The coverage radius of the less powerful ones was probably only a few hundred to a thousand meters, while the powerful ones could have a kill radius of a few kilometers, or even a dozen kilometers.
So they weren’t as good as those common megaton-class nuclear bombs on Blue Star.
Furthermore, on Blue Star, as long as there was a need, nuclear bombs could be manufactured infinitely on an assembly line.
But the mages who could release forbidden spells over on the other world weren’t produced on an assembly line. There were only so many of them.
So when comparing the two, Su Yi arrived at a conclusion that sounded a bit absurd.
That was, if the two worlds were to fight in a real war with real weapons, those incredibly awesome superhumans from the other world probably wouldn’t be able to defeat the ordinary humans on Blue Star, who had fought internal wars for thousands of years and had already mastered the technology of mutual destruction.
Of course, that was a comparison of the overall combat power between the two worlds.
In his current situation, for Su Yi, individual strength was clearly more important.
And Yue Ling was precisely the individual with overwhelming combat power that he needed, directly filling Su Yi's sense of security to the max.

T/N - Well now… It felt like this chapter blueballed me. Here I was excited for the gold transaction to start, and the MC suddenly goes on a tangent in comparing “Blue Star” to the “Magic Fantasy World”. Though it was a pretty interesting topic. I find it quite funny that while Blue Star can’t beat the Fantasy World in a head-on fight, it can still nuke the other world to oblivion, especially with how easily the superpower nations seem to be mass-producing them (seriously, why do they even need so many nukes?!).
