It took about twenty minutes for Vinina to obtain her identification documents. Then, without stopping, she headed to the Virtual Universe Company's station on Qiulong Star to open an account in the Virtual Universe.
Once that was done, it was time to sell the Profound Iron.
As an A8-grade metal, Profound Iron was extremely cheap, especially when sold in bulk. A ton was worth only 0.0032 Black Dragon Coins, or around four Silver Blue Coins. Fortunately, there was enough of it. The enormous quantity of nearly 9.3 billion tons brought Vinina nearly 30 million Black Dragon Coins.
B8-grade Profound Iron Essence had a higher unit price, selling for nine Black Dragon Coins per ton, but there were only a little over thirty thousand tons in total, bringing in just over 300,000 Black Dragon Coins. Adding the 2.34 tons of C8-grade Profound Iron Mother, Vinina's savings barely surpassed 30 million Black Dragon Coins.
But that was clearly not enough to meet Vinina's expectations.
So—
Curio shop!
These places could not compete with specialized Mental Power Weapon stores or Force Weapon stores in terms of supply, so they offered higher purchase prices.
As the largest city on Qiulong Star, Qiulong City naturally had quite a few curio shops. Vinina selected one of the larger ones and headed there according to Babata's navigation.
The moment she entered, a shop attendant immediately came up to her and asked warmly, "Hello, ma'am. What do you need?"
"Do you purchase Mental Power Weapons and Force Weapons?"
Vinina looked around at the dazzling array of goods and asked.
"We do. May I ask what kind of Mental Power Weapons and Force Weapons you wish to sell?"
"Entry Level, second-tier, and third-tier. I have all of them."
Hong's collection, the inheritance left behind by the owner of the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spacecraft, and the spoils she had plucked from Babata's little treasury—combined, Vinina still had quite a few Mental Power Weapons and Force Weapons in her possession.
The smile on the attendant's face instantly froze.
Mental Power Weapons and Force Weapons were divided into ordinary grade and tiers one through five. Ordinary-grade weapons were very cheap because they had virtually no amplification effect. But once they reached Entry Level, they could bring out the maximum combat strength of Planetary-level Mental Masters and Martial Artists, and their value began to soar.
Second-tier weapons were sufficient for Star-level users, third-tier for Universe-level users, fourth-tier for Domain Lords, and fifth-tier for World Lords.
With every tier increase, their value rose accordingly. A second-tier Force Weapon or Mental Power Weapon was worth at least several hundred million Black Dragon Coins, while top-quality ones could be worth several billion Black Dragon Coins!
As for third-tier weapons—
Even the cheapest were worth several billion!
To a Planetary-level shop attendant like him, that was simply an astronomical sum!
"Please wait a moment."
With that, the attendant turned and hurried into the depths of the curio shop. He soon rushed back out. "Miss, please follow me inside so we can discuss this in detail."
Following him, she entered a reception room.
Inside was a woman about 1.75 meters tall, with crimson secret patterns on her face and red hair draped over her shoulders. Seeing Vinina enter, she immediately rose with a smile and gave a slight bow. "Honored guest, I heard that you wish to sell Mental Power Weapons and Force Weapons?"
"That depends on the price."
Vinina nodded slightly. Then, with a flip of her hand, several weapons appeared in the reception room.
A sword, a saber, a shield, a set of throwing knives, a set of flying needles, and a weapon resembling a halberd.
They were all second-tier.
Then, with another flip of her hand, a silver-gray shuttle-shaped object and an entirely golden blade disc appeared.
The Sky-Piercing Shuttle, the Arc Blade Disc!
"This is the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, a third-tier Mental Power Weapon. In ordinary Mental Power Weapon specialty stores within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, its listed price is 6 billion Black Dragon Coins. The other is the Arc Blade Disc, also a third-tier Mental Power Weapon, listed at 21 billion Black Dragon Coins."
As she said this, Vinina herself felt somewhat speechless.
They were both third-tier Mental Power Weapons, and their power was actually about the same. Yet because of the difference in usage requirements, their prices differed by nearly four times!
And the more valuable one was the spoils she had plucked from Hong.
"Please wait a moment, honored guest."
The red-haired woman's eyes lit up. She took out an instrument, and as green light enveloped the weapons, information on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle and Arc Blade Disc immediately appeared on its screen.
It matched Vinina's description.
"Both the Sky-Piercing Shuttle and the Arc Blade Disc are standard models. Their materials are good, and they are undamaged." The red-haired woman smiled at Vinina. "For the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, I can offer 4 billion Black Dragon Coins. For the Arc Blade Disc, 16 billion Black Dragon Coins."
"4.5 billion for the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, 18 billion for the Arc Blade Disc. That is my price. Not one coin less."
Vinina shook her head and named her price directly.
Babata had given her that price. It was slightly below what the other party would pay to stock them, but not by much. Moreover, it was somewhat difficult for a curio shop to procure goods like these. After all, only a World Lord could replicate and manufacture third-tier Mental Power Weapons. Setting aside the time required, the production cost would not be lower than Vinina's asking price.
Therefore, after a brief silence, the red-haired woman cleanly agreed to the deal.
Next came the several second-tier Force Weapons and Mental Power Weapons. These were less valuable. That saber, for example, could only be considered a lower-grade second-tier weapon, so the red-haired woman offered only 200 million Black Dragon Coins. The most valuable was the set of flying needles, a high-grade second-tier Mental Power Weapon, with a purchase price of 2.1 billion Black Dragon Coins.
Altogether, they amounted to 5 billion Black Dragon Coins. Vinina then threw in all the first-tier Force Weapons and Mental Power Weapons as well, forcefully rounding the total up to 5.1 billion.
The total came to 27.6 billion Black Dragon Coins.
That was the full value of everything Vinina could currently sell. Unless she put the corpses, armor, weapons of those immortal servants, or the Yunmo Star Ship up for sale, emptying out everything she had would not add much more to that amount.
But setting aside whether she could get past Babata, even if she could, she would not dare take those things out. That would be courting death.
After the 27.6 billion Black Dragon Coins were transferred into her account, Vinina also bought a few things from the curio shop. She bought Purple Light Dew as well—the same thing Luo Feng had bought for Earth in the Original Work.
At ten Black Dragon Coins per kilogram, she bought 100,000 tons. The other party gave her a 25% discount, and the total cost came to 750 million Black Dragon Coins.
In Babata's eyes, this was extraordinarily generous. After all, as the strongest person on a living planet, rather than profiting from the Earthlings, she was spending so much money on them. Many people in the universe probably would not understand it.
But Vinina did not particularly care.
After all, in her eyes, the source of these 27.6 billion Black Dragon Coins was Earth. Taking the lion's share and distributing some loose change was not necessary, but she wanted to do it, so she did.
Moreover, according to Babata's judgment, 100,000 tons would be enough to turn at least 10 billion advanced students on Earth into Martial Artists.
How many people were there on Earth in total right now?
