Early in the morning, the sun shone through the glass window and hung up the pink apron. Holding a glass of milk, Najini hummed an unknown tune and walked into the coffee shop area.
In the kitchen, there was high-temperature chicken soup, washed vegetables, and freshly made wontons.
In the past, Nagini would have gone upstairs to wake little Tang Qing up for breakfast. However, because she had just returned home last night, her daughter was not used to the sudden change in environment.
She only fell asleep after one o 'clock in the morning.
This was also the reason why Nagini wanted to return early. Tang Qing needed time to adapt.
Thus, for the first breakfast, Nagini prepared little Tang Qing's favorite and most familiar dish, shrimp wontons. According to Nagini's estimation, his daughter should wake up around 10 am.
"Ding ling ling!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of a wind chime, the coffee shop's door was pushed open.
Nagini subconsciously raised his head to look. He was curious as to who would be so blind to disturb his rest time on the first day of business.
However, a familiar middle-aged fatty walked in and greeted him: "Long time no see, Nagini."
Najini couldn't help but stare, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was the new star army's centurion, Roman.
His relationship with Nagini could not be considered good, but it was not bad either. To describe it in one sentence, it would be: I know this person, but we are not very familiar with each other.
Facing Nagini's suspicion, Roman took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table:
"I'm here to deliver this."
Najini glanced at it and could vaguely make out the words "Xing You Kindergarten". He couldn't help but frown and roll his eyes. "School Opening Notice?
Are all the new star army's centurions so free? "
Roman waved his hand and explained: "How is that possible?
I'm very busy, okay?
Today, I'm here to talk to you about the property issue. "
Property?
There was a street behind the coffee shop and a huge building.
Now, it was indeed under Nagini's name and belonged to him. But the problem was, did Nagini have the money?
One had to know that the relationship between the Noir Empire and the Kree Empire had been extremely strained recently, which caused the property prices on Xander to skyrocket. After all, Xander was the capital planet of the Noir Empire, so its defense level was naturally the highest.
Therefore, at this stage, the real estate on Xandar was priceless.
Nagini was rich. To most ordinary Xandars, he was definitely rich. But compared to his strength?
That good asset was a bit mismatched.
Strictly speaking, Nagini couldn't afford so many houses with the money he had.
If he remembered correctly?
Although these properties were already under his name, Nagini didn't seem to have given him a single cent.
But it didn't matter. There were always things in this world that surpassed money, such as the metal parts that Nagini threw out.
Looking at the severely damaged metal parts on the table, Roman was stunned for a moment. His eyes flashed with confusion. He didn't understand what these metal parts had to do with the property. Or could it be that these metals were extremely rare and had extremely high research value?
So, he asked subconsciously: "What's this?"
Nagini shrugged and took a sip of iced milk.
"You know, my coffee shop doesn't make any money at all. Although these properties aren't worth much in my eyes, it's not good to take them for free.
Last night, I crushed a few Kree Empire fleets. These are the parts I just picked up. Take it as proof of payment. "
Give money?
Don't mess around, that's too troublesome. The easiest way is to rob, but that's too cheap.
When Tang Qing grew up and went out to explore, if someone asked who his father was, Tang Qing would say Nagini's name, and the person would say:
Oh, your father is that Nagini who likes to rob planets and threaten the galactic organizations for money?
Isn't that awkward?
Secondly, he could resell resources, but the problem was that the efficiency was too slow, and he had to find a suitable seller. Otherwise, he would definitely be cheated.
And considering the current relationship between the Noir Empire and the Kree Empire?
Helping the Noir Empire destroy a few fleets seemed like a good choice. As for whether the Noir Empire would accept it or not?
Hehe, Nagini believed that they would accept it.
As expected, after Nagini finished speaking, Roman's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly smiled and rubbed his hands. "How can I accept it? I was planning to give it to you for free."
Nagini ignored him and rolled his eyes. "Tsk, free things are the most expensive."
This was why Nagini thought that the Noir Empire would accept it. It was because the Noir Empire had planned to give these houses to him for free from the beginning.
The reason was simple. To the Noir Empire, money was really nothing.
It was nothing more than a form of currency.
With the size and population of the Noir Empire, not to mention one street, even if there were ten or a hundred streets, so what?
The most classic example was in the 1980s, when the housing prices of Tokyo were enough to buy the entire Merrica. However, the problem was that since both prices were the same, and during the peak period, the real estate prices in Tokyo were even higher.
If Tokyo were to exchange half of Merrica for a complete Tokyo, would both parties accept it?
Unless the Merricans were all idiots, they would definitely not agree to this deal.
Currency was currency after all. The essence of currency was the embodiment of value, but this did not mean that currency was value. The greatest value of currency was the value that everyone agreed on.
It sounded a bit of a mouthful, but that was the truth.
The simplest example was paper money. If I recognized it, it was money. If I didn't, it was just a piece of paper. However, this "I" did not refer to a person.
It could be a nation, a country, or a large group.
In the modern era where fast payments were highly developed, virtual currency was the number in your bank card, Alipay, WeChat, and various banking apps.
Its essence was a string of numbers without any value. However, if everyone agreed and added their own value, these numbers would become money.
Was the house on Xandar valuable?
It was very valuable, and it was hard to find a house. However, compared to Nagini?
The house on Xandar was not valuable.
In fact, the Noir Empire was willing to give Nagini the entire Xandar for free, let alone a street. This was because Nagini's value far exceeded the value of the planet.
As long as Najini still lived here, as long as this place belonged to Najini, all the forces in the Milky Way had to consider the consequences of their actions before attacking. They had to consider whether they could bear the consequences.
This was also why Nagini did not want to take the house for free. There were not so many good things in this world. Giving you a house for free?
Wasn't it because they could gain more benefits from you?
Seeing Nagini rolling his eyes, Roman smiled awkwardly. Just as Nagini said, it would be best if these houses could be given away for free, but what if they could not?
It did not matter. Using the right to live on a piece of land in exchange for the destruction of a few fleets of the Kree Empire, this kind of trade was profitable.
The only problem was how much he earned. Anyway, no matter how he looked at it, he was the one who earned.
Just like that, the two chatted for a while.
However, for some reason, as the two of them chatted, the topic turned to Hila.
Roman hesitated for a moment, and his eyes flashed with curiosity. "Speaking of which, who is the woman who came back with you?"
Glancing at Roman, Nagini's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Would you believe me if I said she's the princess of Asgard?"
Roman rolled his eyes subconsciously. "Are you kidding me? It's still unknown whether Asgard exists or not."
However, as Roman's voice fell, he looked at Nagini, who was leisurely drinking coffee not far away, and a hint of panic appeared in his heart.
He asked anxiously, "It can't be true, right?"
