Explore the infinite categories of the heavens; there is always one that suits you.

Taking precautions is never just empty talk.

On Earth, he is the supreme First Speaker, a powerhouse revered by countless people. But Lin Yuan is very clear that looking at this vast universe, he is currently nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

Only by constantly growing stronger, strong enough to make the rules yield to you, will no one dare to step on your head, Lin Yuan whispered in his heart.

"You're right!"

The voice of the devil Babata rang out, "Earth is too barren! We must go on a massive shopping spree this time we visit Qiu Long Planet!

Metals, secret techniques... we need to buy them all! Although I have been dormant for tens of thousands of years, the Ganwu Coins left behind by my former master are still enough for you and Luo Feng to spend for a while."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, offering no rebuttal.

Babata having money is its own business; he has his own way of making a fortune on this trip.

"Ika," Lin Yuan called out softly.

"Master, I am here."

A gentle electronic voice responded; this is the intelligent core of the Starship and Lin Yuan's most loyal assistant.

"Full speed ahead, target—Qiu Long Planet."

"Command confirmed. Engine power output at 100%... speed increasing... approaching light speed... countdown: 3, 2, 1!"

Boom!

As the spaceship shuddered slightly, the previously clear starry sky instantly blurred. Immediately after, everything around them vanished, replaced by a bizarre, colorful stream of light.

They had entered the Dark Universe.

"Panoramic simulation disabled! Target: Qiu Long Planet. Estimated arrival time: ten days."

Ten days is but a snap of the fingers in the context of long-distance space travel.

During these ten days, Lin Yuan and Luo Feng were not idle; the latter often sought the former for guidance.

It usually ended with Luo Feng bruised and battered.

When the Starship shuddered violently once more and exited the Dark Universe, a massive planet radiating strange, colorful light dominated their entire field of vision.

Qiu Long Planet, they had arrived!

It was an extremely prosperous planet. In the atmosphere surrounding it, countless spaceships shuttled back and forth like locusts, and massive docking ports lay across the void like steel beasts.

"Guidance signal received."

Ika reported, "Based on the spaceship's grade, we are being directed to the C-level docking area."

"Accept the guidance," Lin Yuan said.

"Understood."

The spaceship descended slowly.

When the hatch opened and they stepped onto the soil of Qiu Long Planet, a surge of cosmic energy, so dense it was almost intoxicating, rushed toward them.

"Let's go, business first."

Lin Yuan moved with practiced ease, as if it were not his first time here. He led Luo Feng to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's office on Qiu Long Planet, where they efficiently completed a series of procedures.

Opening a Virtual Universe Network account.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship certification.

Opening a Cosmic Galaxy Bank account.

After finishing all of this, the two walked along the terrifyingly wide streets of Qiu Long Planet.

All around them were bizarre alien buildings, anti-gravity vehicles sped through the sky, and walking along the roadside were not just humans, but various races with antennae, full-body scales, or even just a single eye.

Prosperous, noisy, and full of vitality.

"Ika, locate the most famous trading venue nearby."

Lin Yuan ordered in his mind as he walked.

"Understood. Search complete... 300 meters from your current position, there is a shop called the Rare Treasure Shop. It has a very high reputation rating and mainly deals in telekinetic weapons, force battle suits, and various rare treasures."

"We'll go there," the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He had three main goals for this trip: first, to purchase slaves; second, to buy a series of materials related to light, time, and space...

As for the last, it was to liquidate assets.

The Arc Wheel in his hand was a top-tier Grade 3 telekinetic weapon.

But for the current Lin Yuan, having obtained the higher-grade telekinetic weapon Sun God Weapon from the system reward...

The Arc Wheel had become a useless trinket.

Keeping it would only let it gather dust; it was better to exchange it for Black Dragon Coins and convert it into immediate combat power.

In this universe, you cannot move an inch without money.

With money, however, you can purchase resources that would drive the people of Earth insane!

A moment later, a magnificent shop decorated in gold and jade, with two Planet-level guards standing at the entrance, appeared before them—the Rare Treasure Shop.

Lin Yuan led Luo Feng inside, his expression calm and composed.

As soon as they stepped through the door, a beautiful female attendant in uniform hurried over to greet them.

"Respected sirs, welcome to the Rare Treasure Shop." The attendant bowed slightly, her smile professional and sweet. "Is there anything I can assist you with today?"

Lin Yuan swept a casual glance over the dazzling array of display cases in the shop and spoke in a flat tone:

"I want to sell something."

"Oh?" The attendant's eyes brightened slightly. "May I ask what you wish to sell, sir?"

Lin Yuan flipped his palm.

Hum!

A cold, silvery radiance flashed, and a weapon resembling a crescent moon hovered in mid-air. Faint, tiny arcs of electricity danced around it, emitting a sharp aura that made one's heart tremble.

A Tier 3 spirit weapon—the Arc Wheel!

"This..."

The attendant's professional smile froze instantly, and her pupils contracted sharply.

As a senior guide at the Rare Treasure Shop, how could she not recognize quality?

This was not merely a Tier 3 spirit weapon; judging by the purity of the energy fluctuations and the texture of the material, it was absolutely a top-tier piece among Tier 3 items!

On Qiu Long Planet, weapons of this caliber were usually only custom-made or replicated by elite descendants of great families, or even Sector Lords and Undying beings, for the sake of nurturing their juniors.

What kind of background did this black-haired youth have?

"Sir, please forgive my ignorance."

The attendant took a deep breath, her attitude becoming even more respectful as she bowed lower. "Please follow me to the VIP room; I will invite our chief appraiser to take a look for you."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

He put away the Arc Wheel and, with Luo Feng in tow, followed the attendant through the hall and into an elegant reception room at the back.

As soon as they entered, a heavy pressure permeated the air, subtle yet distinct.

Sitting on the sofa was an old man over 2.6 meters tall with dark cyan skin and narrow, elongated eyes. He was holding a steaming beverage and slowly looked up as they entered.

"Star-level 6."

Lin Yuan swept his gaze over him and instantly determined the man's strength.

Although he was currently only at Star-level 1, possessing powerful spiritual energy and the trump card of his system, he felt not a ripple of anxiety in his heart when facing this old man—in fact, he felt... it was nothing special.

This composed and unhurried demeanor caused a flash of surprise in the old man's eyes.

"Take it out and let me see." The old man set down his cup, his voice raspy.

Lin Yuan didn't waste words; he took out the Arc Wheel again and placed it gently on the table.

The old man extended a withered finger and lightly stroked the cold, sharp edge of the Arc Wheel. Then, a blue light flickered in his eyes, as if he were using some secret technique to investigate it.

After a long while, the old man withdrew his hand and nodded in admiration: "Good item."

"The patterns are perfect, the core structure shows no wear, and it was crafted using the extremely rare Galaxy Sink Silver as the primary material. Even among Tier 3 spirit weapons, this is top-tier."

He looked up, his cloudy eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, and held up two fingers: "Young man, I'll give you a sincere price: 280 billion Black Dragon Coins."

Luo Feng, standing to the side, felt his breathing stop at the mention of that number.

280 billion?!

And in Black Dragon Coins, no less?!

One had to know that 1 Black Dragon Coin could be exchanged for roughly 1,000 Silver Blue Coins, and even a single Silver Blue Coin would be enough to buy out every single "beyond-God-level" fighter on Earth!

However, Lin Yuan was not satisfied.

He shook his head, held up three fingers, and spoke with ironclad certainty:

"300 billion. No bargaining."

This was the most accurate quote calculated by Ika based on various data points.

Lin Yuan added deliberately, "If that won't work, I believe the 'Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion' next door would be very happy to take it."

Having said that, Lin Yuan made a move to put the Arc Wheel away.

"Wait!"

The old man's eyelids twitched, and he spoke up in a hurry.

Looking at Lin Yuan's expression—the look of an "old hand" who couldn't be swindled—he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

This young-looking human was even craftier than an old fox.

"Very well, 300 billion, it's a deal!" The old man let out a dry chuckle. "Let's just consider this a way to make a friend."

Drafting the contract, signing, and transferring the funds.

The entire process flowed as smoothly as clouds and water.

"Ding!"

The smart optical computer on Lin Yuan's wrist vibrated slightly, and a notification from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank popped up: [Your account ending in 7735 has received a deposit of 300,000,000,000 Black Dragon Coins.]

Looking at that long string of zeros, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Lin Yuan stood up and offered a polite handshake.

Off to the side, Luo Feng was stunned!

Just like that... 300 billion?

He had been worrying about how to save money to buy supplies just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, his big brother had become a billionaire?

Luo Feng decisively stopped struggling, took out his Arc Blade Disc, and said with a very firm tone, "Um... how much do you think this one of mine could sell for?"
