The Lis Race's Umu
Round after round of auctions continued, with fierce bidding echoing from the VIP room. These wealthy individuals spent money like water, frequently engaging in planetary trades and racial exchanges, with tens of thousands of Xijin changing hands at the auction. Such extravagance made Roland, who already owned a trading planet, acutely aware of the gap between the two.
Compared to these mature commercial planets, Planet Vine is just getting started.
"Rich person." Tights murmured to herself. Even though she was the daughter of the richest man on Earth, all her private savings amounted to only a few million Kongjin, less than a single Xijin. The most valuable thing she had was probably the three Saibaman Seed that Roland had given her.
Roland looked at her with a smile and asked if there was anything she wanted to buy. Tights shook her head repeatedly, saying that things here were too expensive and she shouldn't buy anything.
At this moment, Guweisha said, "Brother Roland owns his own trading planet, and his daily income is unknown, amounting to countless Xijin!"
Upon hearing this, Tights gasped, her bright eyes widening in surprise. Roland, however, remained humble and calm, saying, "We just opened, so we don't earn much. It's all just the Saiyan's hard-earned money." He then explained the situation on Planet Vine.
Tights and Roland had visited other trading planets together and knew the value contained in a trading planet. After hearing this, she could only lament that she was the poorest among them.
"By the way, Dr. Brief, I'd like to sell the Hoi-Poi Capsule on a large scale on Planet Vine. Do you have any way to prevent other civilizations from figuring out the underlying principles?"
Blank Hoi-Poi Capsule are being sold in small quantities on Planet Vine, and the business has been very successful. Roland hopes to expand the scale and include other commercial products from the universe in the Hoi-Poi Capsule business. Imagine if even spaceships, medical pods, and warships could be turned into Capsule and carried around—that would be a revolutionary change.
Planet Vine can rise to prominence by virtue of this.
Dr. Brief adjusted his glasses and said, "The insurance mechanism of the Hoi-Poi Capsule should be quite robust. I'm not entirely sure because I'm not familiar with the level of alien technology, but I think it should be solvable after a period of research."
"Great! In that case, the Hoi-Poi Capsule will definitely become a hot product in the universe," Guweisha said happily.
Dr. Brief said, "Actually, I've always wanted to improve the Hoi-Poi Capsule, but due to the limitations of Earth's technology, this improvement is quite difficult. I hope we can learn from some extraterrestrial technology."
"It definitely can," Roland said.
Dr. Brief's genius far surpasses the world's imagination. On Earth, a technologically barren planet, he was able to invent space-related cutting-edge technologies like the Hoi-Poi Capsule Destiny, which significantly elevated Earth's technological level. Once he absorbs the essence of extraterrestrial technology, he will surely be able to develop even more advanced technologies.
While Roland and Dr. Brief were discussing, Aiboya was already operating the equipment to bid. After several rounds of bidding, he won the auction for 100,000 Lis Race at a high price. Because they were technological talents, the Lis Race were exceptionally expensive, enough to buy a sizable planet.
The Podo Race of the Planet Wozfu earn a substantial income each year by selling Lis Race.
Ding ding dong~
The sound of chains dragging on the ground.
A Lis Race man was led into Roland's VIP room by the staff. This Lis Race was of medium height, with slightly bluish skin, and a metal ring around his neck with a series of numbers printed on it. It was a device specifically for controlling slaves, used to restrain and manage them. Whenever the master was displeased, he could activate the device on the metal ring, and the huge electric current would cause the slave excruciating pain, and in severe cases, even death.
This Lis Race had blood-red eyes and had been restless and uneasy ever since he entered.
"What's your name?" Roland's voice was translated into the universal language through the translator.
"U... Umu," the Lis Race Umu stammered in fear.
"Your Lis Race excels in scientific research?" His voice was rather indifferent; Roland wasn't usually so polite to outsiders.
"Yes, the Lis Race are assigned to different pastures from birth and undergo round after round of trials. Only those Lis Race people who perform exceptionally well are qualified to survive," Umu said, his voice trembling.
Aiboya whispered, "This is how the Podo Race control the Lis Race. As a slave race, the Lis Race are raised like livestock from birth. The Lis Race who can enter the auction are all elites who have passed through layers of tests."
Roland nodded, implying that those clansmen who failed the test had naturally been dealt with.
"Dr. Brief, you should have a good talk with this Umu and see what kind of knowledge he actually possesses."
Roland gestured to Dr. Brief nodded seriously. They then communicated through a translator. Perhaps because they were both scientists, the communication went exceptionally smoothly. The Lis Race, who had initially been somewhat timid, gradually relaxed and began to talk with Dr. Brief.
After a while, Dr. Brief came over, still seemingly uninterested. "The Lis Race people have a very solid theoretical foundation. They have many advanced concepts that I've never even heard of before. I think I should learn from them for a while."
Roland stroked his chin, knowing that the quality of these Lis Race was relatively high, so he asked Aiboya to gather all the remaining Lis Race members and prepare to take them all back to the Planet Sadala.
When Roland saw all the Lis Race in the square, he discovered that these 100,000 Lis Race were mainly male, with very few women, and all of them had had their fertility destroyed— the Podo Race of the Planet Wozfu had used every means possible to control the number of Lis Race outside.
Let's go!
Roland glanced indifferently at all the Lis Race members, had them put on gravity-adjusting bracelets, and then used Instant Transmission to take them away, returning to the Planet Sadala in the blink of an eye.
"From now on, you will all live here. As long as you serve me diligently, I will not treat you unfairly. Umu, settle down with your people. Next, we will build the Spaceport and monitoring system for Planet Sadala. I need you to set up the monitoring system at the edge of the planetary system where Planet Sadala is located."
"Yes, Master."
Umu diligently followed Roland's instructions.
After settling into normal life with the Lis Race, Roland invited Dr. Brief and his daughter to his home. Dr. Brief, eager to study alien technology, followed Umu to observe their work, telling Roland to take Tights home.
Roland nodded and casually beckoned a Saiyan to follow Dr. Brief closely.
"Com, make sure Dr. Brief is safe."
"Yes, sir!" Com replied loudly. Com was a member of the Special Combat Force, with a combat strength of 3,000, and like Nalis, he was one of the best among the new generation.
