"Slaves Across a Thousand Light-Years"
Although he wasn't sure if he had the ability to cultivate the "Tai Sui Tree Spirit," it was still something to look forward to, and Lin Yan was somewhat happy about it.
No matter what, even if it doesn't work now, as long as the seeds are real, they won't be a burden on our hands.
"Lin Yan, what is that Tai Sui Tree Spirit you bought? It's so precious!" Thunder God asked curiously.
The cultivation difficulty of the Mo Yun Vine is 1, while the difficulty of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit is as high as 1000, and even so, it still costs more than 10 billion!
This opened his eyes to a whole new world.
Lin Yan said, "The universe is vast and contains many wondrous treasures. This Tai Sui Tree Spirit is one of them. However, what I have in my hand is just a seed. I can only keep it as a toy and not have any expectations. If it were a seedling, it would be worth hundreds of Milky Way Galaxy."
Hundreds of Milky Way Galaxy!
This left them speechless.
Thunder God smiled wryly and said, "I already felt that the cost of buying Earth was expensive enough."
The price of Earth would require three trillion Black Dragon Coin to purchase!
Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "The world we see is just the tip of the Iceberg and a drop in the ocean, which is why we need to stand higher and see further."
Thunder God understood what he meant. A person's circumstances can influence their life's achievements. They were just natives of Earth before, so they could only see a small part of the Earth. Now that they have set foot in the universe, they have gained new insights, but that is not enough.
Because they weren't standing high enough, even just within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain was enough to imprison the turbulence of their lives.
Lin Yan continued, "Let's go to the slave market now. Earth's power is too weak right now, and we don't know when adventurers from outer space will appear. We can't stay on Earth all day waiting for the enemy to arrive. We need to prepare early to avoid future troubles."
The conditions for becoming Earth Lord are quite complex and involve more than just money.
We need the coordinates of this planet.
The "interstellar coordinate flight record" for arriving at this planet.
There are also samples and data about this planet.
Back then, Huyan Bo physically Cosmic Shuttle and entered the Dark Universe. Through Space Secret Technique, he directly concealed the "cosmic coordinates" corresponding to nearly a thousand light-years around Earth. Without Babata's method, other spaceships would not be able to find these coordinates and Cosmic Shuttle.
So either Huyan Bo's Space Secret Technique is cracked, or we have to wait for the arrival of Universe Adventurer to find out the location of wormholes in the surrounding star systems and obtain their spaceship's flight records.
The slave market covered an area of over 300 square kilometers and was packed with people. Outside each huge slave market, there were dedicated staff who enthusiastically introduced the products and helped attract customers.
Those Planetary level cannot become citizens and are generally only worth about 10 Black Dragon Coin.
The square was filled with Planetary level martial artists and Mental Master, freely radiating their auras. Most of them were at least at the sixth rank, with only a very few at the third or fourth rank. Many of them possessed auras that were no less powerful than Hong and Thunder God.
These beings, who are invincible on Earth, are only worth tens of thousands of Black Dragon Coin here.
Luo Feng and the others remained silent.
As long as they fail to protect the Earth, the fate of Earthling will remain the same.
Such is the rule of the universe: the weak will be trampled on, enslaved, and sold. That is why they bear a heavier responsibility to protect that pure land.
For the powerful, the universe holds endless treasures, dazzling and magnificent; but for the weak, they are forever trapped in a nightmare.
Lin Yan and his group arrived at a marketplace run by a powerful slave trader.
A man in charge, nearly two meters tall with gray hair, immediately came over to greet them.
His eyes gleamed. "Respected sir, what kind of slave do you require? Whether it is a stunningly beautiful woman or a powerful martial artist, we can provide the choice for you."
"Show me the Stellar level slaves," Lin Yan said calmly.
The person in charge was overjoyed; the price of Stellar level slaves was exorbitant, and the profits were enormous.
"Please come to the meeting room for a detailed discussion. You can make your selections based on the virtual projection. If you purchase a large quantity, our store will also offer you a great discount."
Enter the reception room.
A virtual projection appeared in front of Lin Yan, showing the appearance of a large number of slaves, their detailed height, strength, race, and so on, including their prices.
There are 80 million fifth-tier Stellar level martial artists, 500 million seventh-tier martial artists, 2 billion eighth-tier martial artists, and 5 billion ninth-tier martial artists. Mental Master have three times the number of martial artists at the same level.
It may vary slightly depending on individual circumstances, but that's the general idea.
Lin Yan flipped through these virtual projections and spoke after a long while.
"Two Stellar level nine Mental Master."
The person in charge was taken aback. He could tell that Lin Yan and the others were no ordinary people, but he didn't expect them to be so generous. They asked for two Stellar level nine Mental Master right off the bat, which would cost 30 billion!
He quickly wrote it down, "Okay."
"Three Stellar level nine martial artists, five seventh-tier Mental Master, and twenty fifth-tier martial artists." Lin Yan pointed to the virtual projection. "The Mental Master should be from the Heimeng race, and the martial artists should be from the Kalu race."
Both races have a racial advantage in Mental Master and warriors, respectively.
Big business!
The person in charge was overjoyed; it was a rare and huge business opportunity!
He was extremely excited. "Sir, is there anything else you need?"
Lin Yan nodded slightly. "How much discount can I get on this deal?"
"Sir, the total cost of the slaves you requested is 54.1 billion. We can give you a 92% discount, which is 49.7 billion." The person in charge immediately said respectfully, "This is definitely the biggest discount we can offer you."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "49 billion, plus Stellar level one martial artists and one hundred Mental Master, and one thousand ninth-level Planetary level- level Mental Master."
The person in charge immediately panicked upon hearing this. "Sir, this price is really unacceptable. I won't be able to explain this to my superiors!"
"Stellar level one and ninth-tier Planetary level aren't worth much, so why can't we give them away?" Lin Yan said to the person in charge.
There are 1 million Stellar level one martial artists and 3 million Mental Master, totaling 400 million.
There are 1,000 ninth-level Planetary level Mental Master, totaling 100 million.
The person in charge shook his head vigorously. "You're really going to kill me!"
Seeing Lin Yan's casual expression and lack of reaction, he gritted his teeth and said, "49.5 billion. I'll give you the Stellar level one and ninth-tier Planetary level equipment you wanted, and I'll provide you with all the Auxiliary Optical Computer and such. I really can't go any lower."
Lin Yan relaxed his brows and pondered, "Alright then, you slave traders must have quite a few Bio-chip, so prepare 100,000 for me as well."
He asked for an exorbitant price, but then tried to negotiate it down; he never expected to be able to pay off that much.
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Yan agreed, and hurriedly nodded, saying, "If you need this, just let us know, and we can afford to send ten times more."
Although the majority of the profits from this deal went to the higher-ups, he, as the person in charge, could also earn a substantial sum.
Bio-chip are highly advanced technologies, reportedly developed from the battles between humans and Mechanical race. Once integrated into Bio-chip, one will be completely controlled, and even the slightest disrespectful thought will be met with its Bio-chip.
Unless a slave becomes a "Domain Lord," they cannot resist the countermeasures of the Bio-chip. The strongest countermeasure of the Bio-chip is to blow off the head. Domain Lord level experts have already formed Life Core, and their sea of consciousness is no longer a fatal weakness.
However, these chips are very cheap, otherwise they wouldn't have been used by those low-level slaves.
Lin Yan shook his head. "I don't need that many, just give me 100,000."
The person in charge smiled broadly, "Sir, would you like to hand over these slaves now, or will you notify us when you leave Qiulong Star?"
Lin Yan nodded slightly. "We've finished our business, let's do it now."
"Please wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements right away." The person in charge bowed respectfully and then left the meeting room.
Seeing him leave, Luo Feng could no longer contain his question, "Lin Yan, what did you buy those Bio-chip for?"
Lin Yan explained with a smile, "If Universe Adventurer ever come out with ill intentions towards our Earth, I will repay them in kind and install chips in their sea of consciousness so that they can handle any dangerous situations in the future."
I'm really thrifty and good at managing my household; I give myself a pat on the back.
Upon hearing this, Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng couldn't help but chuckle, a scene flashing through their minds.
A group of aggressive Universe Adventurer arrived on an unclaimed, Life Planet, intending to engage in a large-scale slave trade. However, they were subdued on the spot, and Bio-chip was then integrated into their consciousness.
"Slaves Across Thousands of Light Years"
This could easily be made into an idol drama.
Slave traders, adhering to the principle of putting customers first, were highly efficient in their work.
After the master-acceptance ceremony, all the slaves bowed slightly in unison and shouted, "Master!"
Whether they are burly, aloof, or alluringly beautiful, the weakest among them are all at the Planetary level, which is already quite extraordinary, and their temperament is naturally not bad either.
"Mr. Lin," the green-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, "The master recognition process has been completed. Inside are microchips for the control terminals of 1,230 slaves. One control terminal corresponds to one slave! Once the microchips are inserted into the Auxiliary Optical Computer, they can be operated."
The green-haired middle-aged man was the manager of the slave market. Behind him, a Stellar level nine bodyguard was carrying two silver alloy boxes.
The green-haired middle-aged man continued, "There's another box containing the Bio-chip you requested."
Lin Yan nodded.
"Then I'll transfer the money into your account now."
Upon receiving news that 49.5 billion Black Dragon Coin had been transferred into his account, the green-haired middle-aged man's smile became even more genuine, "Mr. Lin is truly generous. This is my Virtual Universe Network ID. If you have any other needs in the future, feel free to contact me. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
He handed over a business card.
Lin Yan accepted the gift, put it away, and then bid him farewell before leading the slaves to the planetary docking port on Qiulong Star.
After settling the slaves on the first and second floors of the spaceship, Lin Yan and the others went into the control room, and the Black Dragon Ship quickly took off and left the docking port.
Luo Feng laughed and said, "There were only four of us here, yet we managed to take so many people with us."
"With so many Stellar level powerhouses, Earth's safety is much more assured."
Thunder God asked, "So, are we going straight back to Earth now?"
Lin Yan shook his head. "Let's not go back to Earth for now. I bought a large warehouse base on Bailan Star, which is 11,800 light-years away from Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and I also bought a castle."
"This will be our second base from now on."
"Some of the slaves below will also be stationed here long-term. I will place an order for the resources we need and a few spaceships through the Virtual Universe Network later. If you want to buy anything, place your order through the Virtual Universe Network now, and I will send you the delivery address."
"Once we've settled in there, those resources should have arrived by then."
The resources he plans to buy are all in large quantities, so naturally, he needs to have them delivered to his door.
Spaceships are also a necessity; at least four or five need to be ordered.
Thunder God laughed and exclaimed, "Now I finally understand what it means to become rich overnight."
"Ha ha."
The group chatted and laughed for a while.
Remembering something, Lin Yan said, "It will take Nine Heavens for the spaceship to reach Bailan Star. During this time, you can try out the Slaughter Arena in the Virtual Universe. You will definitely gain something from it."
Thank you to Skyborne Demon Bear for the 1000-point donation and Yun Sheng for the 200-point donation.
I'm so sorry, my sleep schedule is really problematic. Staying up late every day has left me physically and mentally exhausted, and my condition is terrible. So I'll adjust it and try not to stay up late anymore.
