The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"My name is Zheng Chengjun, and I am the supreme commander of Base D137!"

The other person spoke and walked in.

As the person in charge of this garrison, there was no room in the camp that he could close the door to.

"Please sit down."

Lu Yuan remained composed, gesturing to the only chair in the room before sitting down on the edge of the bed.

Major General rank, that's a high position!

Even in the later stages of the Seven Star Warriors' reign, their strength was considerable.

"I don't like beating around the bush; I'll just say what I mean."

After sitting down, Zheng Chengjun spoke directly.

Lu Yuan smiled. What do you mean you don't like beating around the bush? It's just that there's no need to beat around the bush when dealing with someone as insignificant as him.

"I asked, and you have two Star Fruits. I'd like to buy them."

"So it was for the Star Fruit."

Lu Yuan smiled, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.

His biggest worry was that Zheng Chengjun, representing the authorities, would come and ask him what happened in the end.

Right now, it's just Zheng Chengjun personally, and his goal is nothing more than two Star Fruits.

Lu Yuan smiled again. Zheng Chengjun didn't know that he actually had three Star Fruits.

Name your price.

Zheng Chengjun spoke again, then looked directly at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan remained calm as he met Zheng Chengjun's gaze.

"Not for sale."

"Kid."

Zheng Chengjun's face instantly darkened, and his gaze suddenly became stern.

"You're not giving me that kind of face!"

"Old man, why should I give you that face?"

"How dare you!"

Zheng Chengjun roared, unleashing his full power. As expected of a fierce general in the army, his whole body exuded a chilling killing intent.

"whispering sound."

Lu Yuan remained seated, letting out a disdainful snort.

This imposing aura is utterly insignificant compared to the giant face in the secret realm.

After staring at Lu Yuan for a long time, seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Zheng Chengjun's expression gradually softened.

"Heh, kid, you've got guts. Name your price, and we can discuss anything."

Regardless of his status or strength, Zheng Chengjun could indeed easily overpower Lu Yuan.

However, Lu Yuan is not a soldier; he is a martial artist from the Starry Sky Club!

To put it bluntly, they operate under different systems, and Zheng Chengjun has no authority over Lu Yuan.

As for relying on force, Lu Yuan has the Starry Sky Club behind him, and even as a major general in the army, he cannot openly seize it.

So, having failed to scare Lu Yuan, he had no choice but to discuss it with him.

"This is the proper attitude for doing business."

Lu Yuan smiled, and his attitude softened accordingly.

Star Fruit is indeed precious, but it is not indispensable for Lu Yuan.

With his talent, he could level up and break through quickly even without the Star Fruit.

As a major general, Zheng Chengjun should have some resources, and if the conditions are right, it's not impossible to negotiate.

"General Zheng is a sensible man, so please name your price."

Lu Yuan leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice.

"If the price is right, I'll sell you both; if the price isn't right, then forget it."

"Damn, this feels like doing business with a conman."

Zheng Chengjun frowned and couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan again. This was not the aura or feeling of a chosen one at all.

However, he didn't have time to think about it too much and began to ponder it in his mind.

How do I determine if a price is appropriate?

With his current cultivation level, two Star Fruits are actually not very meaningful.

However, for his beloved little niece, it was the key to whether she could be promoted to a warrior.

However, Lu Yuan probably doesn't know any of this.

"Oh, right."

Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke again.

"Given General Zheng's strength, he shouldn't be interested in these two Star Fruits. Could it be that he's trying to buy them for some important person? If so, he'll need to show more sincerity."

Holy crap!

Zheng Chengjun's eyes widened; this kid had seen through him.

"All right."

Zheng Chengjun sighed helplessly, paused slightly, and then extended one finger.

"A Lord-level item!"

Lord-level equipment is standard equipment for generals, but not all generals have it.

Although Lu Yuan already had several pieces of equipment before he was a warrior, the value of lord-level equipment should not be underestimated!

This price is already quite reasonable, but who wouldn't want to negotiate for even greater profits?

Lu Yuan smiled and held up two fingers.

"I want two!"

"You're dreaming!"

Zheng Chengjun's eyes widened instantly, looking ready to explode at any moment.

"You think I'm a fool? Believe me or not, I'll take you down tonight. Anyway, this is my territory, and I'm confident I can keep it a secret!"

"Uh, why are you suddenly getting so worked up?"

"Nonsense! I've shown you sincerity in our conversation, and you're trying to rip me off!"

"Hehe, you can't say that. In business, you always have to bargain."

"Alright, you're not at a disadvantage with this piece of equipment."

Zheng Chengjun snorted and took out a leather pouch from his spatial equipment.

When the skin was unfolded, it revealed three jet-black, three-edged thorns.

However, it is only a little over two inches long, which is rather too short to be used as a melee weapon.

"This is a black dragon thorn, used like this?"

As Zheng Chengjun spoke, he picked up the three sticks, tucked them between his fingers, and then clenched his fist and struck them hard.

"As a lord-level equipment, it has no other special characteristics, except for one: it is indestructible and can even break through a body's protective barrier!"

"Broken body!"

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly.

If that's the case, then it's definitely a good thing.

"General Zheng, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"If you don't believe me, I can test it with you."

Zheng Chengjun gave a light snort and put the three black dragon thorns back into his leather pouch.

Lu Yuan glanced at it but did not pick up the experiment.

In fact, his intuition had already told him that Zheng Chengjun was not lying.

The罡体 (Gāngtǐ) technique is a skill of high-level warriors.

In other words, this equipment can be used against high-level warriors!

Even though a high-level warrior's physique has undergone multiple enhancements, it is not indestructible, provided they are of equal strength. The value of this Black Dragon Dagger lies in the fact that it can penetrate even when there is a significant difference in strength.

"make a deal!"

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan nodded directly.

Next, he took out two Star Fruits from his spatial ring.

"readily."

Zheng Chengjun smiled and grabbed the Star Fruit with his large hand.

Lu Yuan smiled and picked up the black dragon thorn.

Both of them were very satisfied with the deal.

Zheng Chengjun didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

After closing the door, Lu Yuan took the Wulong Thorn in his hand and played with it for a while, analyzing it with his mysterious tattoo.

After a moment, Lu Yuan put it away with satisfaction and went to bed.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Lu Yuan left the camp and returned to Chongming Base City alone.

The vehicle they brought was damaged, and the army wouldn't provide any other vehicles, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to walk.

However, with his current strength, even relying solely on his two legs, he is by no means inferior to a vehicle.

After he set off, many others also left the camp.

"snort."

Noticing someone following him, Lu Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile.

It seems there are still quite a few blind people.

I got two Star Fruits last night, so I'll find some people to help me out.

Buzz!

The next moment, space exploration was initiated.
