Chapter 4 Klein, showered with wealth
"Reception."
As Xu Qing finished speaking, the silk threads floating in the void once again shimmered with starlight, connecting the Zhutian Pavilion with the Endless Sea of Light.
The next moment, ripples appeared in the space, and a young man with black hair, brown eyes, and a slender figure, dressed in a sharp black suit, appeared silently in the pavilion.
As soon as Klein appeared, his pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, and a storm raged within him:
"How could this be? I was clearly above the gray fog."
When that panel appeared, he suspected that he had been parasitized by Amon, but no matter how he tried to divine or repeatedly investigated, he found no trace of it.
Even using high-level power within the gray fog, one cannot fathom the mysteries of the panel before one's eyes.
With absolute confidence in the gray fog space, he finally accepted the invitation, but unexpectedly, as soon as he agreed, he was forcibly dragged away from the gray fog.
In the past, he had always led others into the gray fog, but now the gray fog space had become ineffective.
As a well-known keyboard warrior, Klein probably thought of this thing when he first saw the panel. It was his cheat code, but shouldn't his cheat code be that gray fog?
Klein had always had a guess about the origin of the gray fog. He originally thought it was related to his time travel, but after so many days he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
The appearance of this panel startled him. If this was his real cheat code, then what was the gray fog?
The feeling was as if he were naked and exposed to the light, and Klein's unease and vigilance instantly reached their peak.
"Mr. Klein, welcome to the Pavilion of All Heavens. I am Xu Qing, the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of All Heavens."
With a perfectly timed smile and a formulaic greeting, Xu Qing pulled the dazed Klein back to reality.
His behavior somewhat eased Klein's guard, prompting him to start looking around.
On the display shelves, items came into Klein's view: "Grade A gene serum, can boost strength by several tons; 5-element combat suit, capable of withstanding heavy sniper 5-element Blood Shadow Blade."
These descriptions felt strangely familiar, causing Klein to suddenly gasp in shock:
"Isn't this something from 'Swallowed Star'?"
"Mr. Zhou Mingrui has a good eye." Xu Qing readily admitted, even directly revealing the other party's real name. After all, Klein was also a "transmigrator," so it was better to be frank than to beat around the bush.
Klein's breath hitched when his name from his past life was called out.
Does he know my name?
However, he had read quite a few novels, and when he thought about the items from the novel "Swallowing the Starry Sky" appearing on the display shelf, he felt like he understood something.
"Wait... Swallowing the Stars... The Stream of All Heavens... Could it be that the guy in front of me is the protagonist, and I'm just a supporting character who was dragged into this?!"
The thought of this situation made his heart sink, but then he thought that this situation was actually advantageous to him. If it really was the All-Heavens Flow, then the person in front of him would at least need to know his 'plot' if he wanted to prescribe the right medicine and get something good out of him, right?
The captain's incident dealt him a heavy blow, diminishing his former arrogance as a transmigrator. He realized he was in a real world where he had to proceed with extreme caution to survive.
Even knowing that he wasn't the protagonist made him a little frustrated, but if it could increase his chances of survival, it wouldn't be a loss. After all, a novel about buying and selling things across the universe couldn't let its customers get ripped off easily, otherwise who would read it?
He thought of the two extraordinary materials he was looking for, and wondered if he could buy them here.
Klein looked at Xu Qing, his gaze intense:
"Swallowing the Stars, Pavilion Master Xu of the All Heavens Pavilion, could it be that one can buy any item from all the myriad realms here?"
Xu Qing smiled with amusement upon hearing this:
"Hehe, Mr. Zhou, I am a businessman who makes transactions. If I really possessed any item from all the worlds, what would be the point of my business?"
Klein nodded, somewhat disappointed by the answer.
Klein glanced at the display shelf and saw the description of the Grade A potion, and suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Why insist on using a magical potion that can go out of control when there are other extraordinary items available?
Are you stupid?
Other enhancements are fine too.
Thinking of this, Klein pointed to the Grade A potion and said:
"Master Xu, how much money do I need to buy that thing?"
Xu Qing smiled, and a panel naturally appeared in front of Klein.
Guest: Klein
Strength: Tier 1, Ordinary
Wealth: Sequence 7 Magician (Tier 1), Sun Brooch (Tier 1), Werewolf Extraordinary Trait (Tier 1), Source Castle (Tier 8)
"This shop does not accept ordinary gold and silver. If you want to exchange them, you need to bring sequence potions or extraordinary items..."
"But if I may be frank, Mr. Zhou, you probably can't afford this potion right now." Xu Qing looked at the young man in front of him with a faint smile on his lips.
The protagonist of this mysterious lord, Klein, is a notorious pauper.
Klein felt a mix of emotions. It wasn't that he had any particular interest in something like the first tier. After making some guesses about the All-Heavens Pavilion, he had already prepared himself. But when he saw the Source Castle that could be bought and sold, and the large word "Unknown," all his attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Master Xu, is this item for sale?"
Klein forcibly suppressed his excitement and asked Xu Qing a question. Xu Qing's face stiffened upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Klein to act unpredictably and directly throw out his cheat code. However, from Klein's perspective, this cheat code had only caused trouble. With the All-Heavens Pavilion, there was no need for a trading platform like the Tarot Club.
"Hehe, Mr. Klein, you are not yet the master of Source Castle."
Xu Qing waved his hand. Klein was only at Sequence 7 at the moment. Even if he was the master of the Source Castle, Xu Qing's trading items were only Tier 1. How could he exchange them for Tier 8 items?
Then he added:
"Moreover, I think a smart person like you should understand that this is something you cannot give up."
Upon hearing this, Klein immediately thought of things like a destined person, a fish, and the cause and effect of all things. Then, considering what the other person had said, he realized that the other person was indeed aware of his 'plot'.
Seemingly seeing the guest hesitate, Xu Qing's voice rang out again after a while.
"While you can't sell this, you can sell other extraordinary items, can't you, Mr. Zhou?"
Klein was taken aback when he heard this. These words struck a chord with him. He was short of money and needed to sell some of his extraordinary items and materials to purchase the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence Six.
"Master Xu, what price are you offering?" Klein asked cautiously, afraid that the other party was a shrewd businessman.
"How about gold worth 100,000 gold pounds? Just for that brooch."
Xu Qing casually uttered a price that Klein could never have imagined.
"What?! One hundred thousand gold pounds?!" Klein exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing the price.
“Yes, 10.” Faced with Klein’s shock, Xu Qing nodded again nonchalantly.
Gold? Gold is the last thing he has to lack right now.
Even a ton of gold is nothing more than a reward point to Xu Qing.
It's just a mere 100,000 gold pounds.
Seeing the other person's nonchalant expression, Klein gasped.
In their eyes, gold has become so cheap?
This is just a small but extraordinary item.
The other party should also know the price of extraordinary items.
Keep in mind that he only spent 2000 gold pounds to buy the sun brooch. Although this was equivalent to 200 million RMB in his previous life, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to 10 gold pounds.
This is a price difference of ten times, or even dozens of times!
This...this is an absolute steal!
My God, with this much money, I could get not only Sequence 6 extraordinary materials, but even Sequence 5...
No, I could even buy several more sets of extraordinary materials from Sequence 5 to Sequence 9.
Klein was already lost in his fantasy...
"So, Mr. Zhou, do you agree?"
"Okay, I agree." Klein's mind returned to reality, and he felt his voice tremble slightly.
The Sun Breastplate is now like a useless accessory to Klein. He would be disrespectful to his empty wallet if he hesitated even slightly in this deal.
“Alright, if Mr. Zhou has any more sets of Extraordinary Sequences in the future, you are welcome to sell them at our store.” Xu Qing smiled and said, “Our prices will definitely satisfy you.”
Before leaving, Klein tentatively asked a question.
"If I want to know something about my future, can you answer that? I can offer you something or write you an IOU, as long as you know what I can give you in the future?"
This is also a blatant test. If he can really offer something good in the future, then the other party should already know that.
He knows his own character best, and Zhou Mingrui would never break his word. If he really made such a promise, then he would definitely give back what he was owed in the future.
If one truly becomes a great person in the future, then the other party will likely not let this opportunity pass.
Hearing this, Xu Qing laughed even harder.
“This is not information that requires payment, Mr. Klein. I have a word of advice for you—some things are too dangerous. Knowing or exploring them before reaching the level of angels will put your life at risk. Let’s talk about it after we reach the level of demigods, no, after we reach Sequence 2.”
This put his mind at ease. Klein nodded and left the Pavilion of All Heavens...
