A week passed quickly. After undergoing a round of transformation and disguise, the Dream set course into a black market region.
This region was known as the Black Gold Market, the nearest large-scale black market Sea Emperor had found. The market encompassed six star regions and more than three hundred black-market trading planets.
The market's owner was named Bari Man, a one-star lord. He had once been an Interstellar Pirate with a keen head for business. Later, he used some means to clean up his reputation and became a businessman.
His black-market business had grown larger and larger over the years, expanding from a single planet to more than three hundred planets. He did business with quite a few Holy Lands.
Sea Emperor had chosen the Black Gold Market because it had a very comprehensive selection of goods.
When the disguised silver-gray spaceship docked on the Black Gold Market's headquarters planet, Gu Ding and the others, all in disguise, disembarked one after another.
Other than Sea Emperor and Robert, everyone wore Simulation Masks made by Sea Emperor.
Robert had changed from a beauty into a man, while Sea Emperor had transformed from a child into a burly man.
For this round of shopping, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew split into three groups.
The first group consisted of Gu Ding, Sea Emperor, and Fa Te. They were responsible for purchasing various biochemical materials used to create artificial lifeforms.
The second group consisted of Robert, Liliath, Elsa, and Beika. They were responsible for purchasing mechanical materials for combat factories, various new combat weapons and armor, as well as various Energy Crystal Nuclei.
The third group consisted of Bigge, Miko, Dokter, and Hake. They were responsible for purchasing ingredients and other miscellaneous goods.
Each group had someone who clearly understood the shopping list
