Chapter 605: Discussing Business (1/2)
Sandra looked at Sam with keen eyes. The clash of mental attacks just now is something only she and Sam knew, Chatur could only see that something went wrong, but he couldn't understand what is going on.
She took a deep breath and said.
”Okay then. I need a weapon for a specific purpose. To hold something in place and create damage at the same time. I don't want the victim to be dead immediately and it would be better if they wouldn't die at all.
Can you make one like that?”
”What kind of creature are we talking about, humanoid? Fish? Naga? A four-legged beast? It depends and what kind of restriction do you want? In what kind of terrain they should be restricted? How much of a restriction do you want? Unconscious? Devoid of motion? Slow down? How big the creature would be?
I need more detail, Miss Sandra. I need you to be more specific.”
Sandra was stunned for a second. After all, Sam is just denying everything as long as he has to part with the design completely, but now he is asking for specifications. Seeing her confusion, he smiled and said.
”It is not that I am agreeing to give you the design. I am a businessman. I am not against talking terms. So, since you want to talk about the specifications, we will see what you want, and then I will decide whether I will sell you a design.”
She then started explaining what kind of specifications she wanted and Sam took a mental note of that as he imagined what kind of machine he should make for that.
The main problem is that the weapon should work underwater and they are most needed to catch some water-type beasts.
Merman planet is mostly comprised of water and there is only around fifteen percent of land and the rest of it is the ocean.
Even the Naga that stays there is mostly a sub-race of normal Nagas the Water Serpent Nagas. They can survive in water. But they are still Nagas and their appearance and the final form of their bodies doesn't look much different from the normal Nagas in the Nagin Planet, except that their skin and flesh are a bit different and Nagas never discriminated against them.
Most of the Nagas and the Mermen on that planet stay in underwater cities. As for the land, it is mostly occupied by the normal beasts and some Normal Nagas that are present there and some land is used by the Water Serpent Nagas and the Mermen as their bases to get the resources from the land.
But still, the ocean is ten times more dangerous than land. And both the Nagas and the Mermen are not the true species that is on top of the food chain.
The sea creatures are. There are many species that outnumber these two races and outdo them in strength.
As for fishermen, they are an even lesser race than humans in the eyes of Nagas and the mermen have a little better opinion of the fishmen than the Nagas.
All these three humanoid races lose a lot of people every year and due to their production rate being higher than even humans, they are still able to survive.
Now Sandra is asking for a weapon that could help them survive against a shark species and other species of similar size and strength.
He has some ideas and said.
”It is not that difficult. And I can sell the design. What can you offer me for that? Because a rainbow Kelp cannot be sufficient for that design.”
Sam decided to sell that because the design will only be properly effective in the water. Even though he can make a variant that could work on the land with very small adjustments, he is not against selling the design.
If it is the design of the puppets or grenades, then that would have thought otherwise. They are his opening business offers, when he wants to enter the market in a new place. But he is not that interested in the Merman Planet. As long as he could get a source to get their natural resources, he can part with a design that was born due to their custom ideas.
”How are you so sure that a rainbow Kelp is not sufficient?” She asked.
Sam thought for a bit and said.
”I will have a prototype along with the weapon with me in a few days and I will show you a demonstration, in fact, I can even demonstrate on your own planet if you want me to. Then we will decide how much it is truly worth.
How about that?”
”Sounds great to me.” She shook his hands once again and both of them had smiles on their faces, there is not a trace of their clash that happened a few minutes ago.
