Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 162 The Treasure Shop

Because it was close to the slave market, Bai Yang naturally chose the Qibao Shop from the original novel.

This is a shop that sells all sorts of complicated items, covering a vast area, comparable to a large square on Earth.

The store has a wide variety of miscellaneous items, including simulated projection images, and all of them are extremely expensive.

Because of its diverse nature, the area also offers receiving services.

When Bai Yang arrived at the shop, he explained his purpose and took out a piece of extremely high-quality Xuan Tie Mu to show it off.

They were immediately ushered into a meeting room by the shop assistant.

An elderly man who looked like a manager, with red and blue markings on his face and a height of about 2.6 meters, greeted him.

"Sir, you said you have a large quantity of Grade C metal to sell? Tens of millions of tons?"

"That's right."

"Can I inspect the goods?"

"Here? That might not be convenient?"

"Please follow me." The old man stood up and gestured for Bai Yang to follow him to the back hall.

Bai Yang had already checked the store's reputation online, so he wasn't worried about them causing trouble.

However, it's still necessary to get the necessary insurance.

The auxiliary optical computer on his arm projected the image of Star Guardian. She sat comfortably on his shoulder, her little legs swinging slightly.

The old man, as expected of the manager of the rare treasure shop, immediately understood the meaning of Star Guardian upon seeing it.

Intelligent life! She's recording live, and can send out alerts anytime via the virtual network!

The old man hunched over slightly, and his smile immediately became even more polite.

Bai Yang followed him into the back hall, and after pushing open a door, they found themselves in a large storage yard.

He understood, so he took out a pile of metal ingots, as high as a small mountain, from his ring and asked the old man to appraise them.

"Black Iron Mother! Black Iron Mother of extremely high quality!"

This is its associated mineral! It's usually a C-grade metal! And the demand is quite substantial!

The old man was astonished; these metal ingots looked brand new, as if they had just come off the production line.

"These Grade C metals are indeed of very high quality!"

A moment later, he gave his opinion.

"I have 20 million tons, what price can you offer me?"

The old man thought about the enormous space in Baiyang's spatial ring and his confident gaze.

Knowing that this person has a powerful background, they are definitely not someone who can be easily manipulated.

He simply said, "I can give you 51 billion Black Dragon Coins."

I believe you've done your research before; this is a fair price.

Bai Yang nodded slightly. The moment Xing Shou went online, he had already investigated the current market situation.

The old man didn't cheat him, but at most he earned less.

Without haggling, he simply asked the old man to open a bank account for him at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and transferred the money into it.

They returned to the Qibao Store together from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank with the old man.

He then poured out all the metal ingots, spreading them across the entire storage yard.

After the transaction was completed, the two returned to the meeting room and had a friendly drink together.

The old man was actually quite satisfied with this deal.

After all, such large orders are rare.

Bai Yang played with the bank card in his hand and found it amazing. This kind of card is said to be fused with a spiritual imprint and can only be used by the original owner.

So what if the master becomes stronger or cultivates some kind of secret technique, or is even mentally enslaved and possessed by someone else in a new body?

My mental state has changed; I wonder if it will still be usable?

Bai Yang quickly pulled himself out of his reverie and got to the point.

"Does the shopkeeper also accept martial arts equipment?"

"Of course! Our store is known for its comprehensive selection of goods."

Seeing that he showed no sign of leaving and instead started talking about new business, the old man became slightly excited.

Bai Yang swept his hands across the table, and instantly forty-five second-tier Force weapons of various types appeared on it.

The old man had been in this line of work for hundreds of years and had an extremely sharp eye.

In an instant, the names and prices of these pieces of equipment flashed through my mind at an incredible speed.

Occasionally, when I'm unsure, I'll pick it up and take a look.

Bai Yang gestured for him to make any appraisal he wanted, and after a short while...

The old man sighed softly:

"Although they're all a bit old, their performance is still acceptable. Sir, are you planning to sell them all as a package deal?"

Bai Yang nodded directly, and the old man was immediately overjoyed.

Packed up, packed up!

"I can give you 550 billion Black Dragon Coins."

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow slightly; it was within his expectations.

It was actually acceptable, but he didn't say a word.

Suddenly, he swept his right hand across the table again.

"Tier 3 weapon: Radiant Sun Blade!"

Tier 3 Supreme Force Armor [Crown Set]!

Looking at the three-meter-long knife with an orange handle on the table, and a dull, inconspicuous gray smock.

The old man suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Shopkeeper, how many are you planning to sell this time? Can you take them to go?"

Bai Yang looked at the old man with a grin.

"If you can buy it all, I'll give you 780 billion Black Dragon Coins!"

The old man suddenly spoke.

"The shop owner gave me 230 billion for these two items? That's a really good deal."

As far as I know, the price of this top-tier Tier 3 Force Armor has increased quite a bit recently.

The old man hurriedly said, "Even so, yours is quite old."

The price I added wasn't low.

"I can accept this price, but I would like to ask the shop owner for a favor."

Bai Yang spoke slowly.

"Sir, what do you need? If it's something small, I'd be happy to help."

"When I came here just now, I saw that your store seemed to have seeds of the 'Moyun Vine'. Do you also have other supporting plants?"

"Can I have seven or eight seeds of each kind? These aren't already seedlings, so it shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"

The Qibao store does indeed have various auxiliary plants and even auxiliary metal life forms.

If the seeds of the 'Moyun Teng' can be planted and cultivated into seedlings...

Each seedling is worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins!

However, the seeds themselves are not so expensive anymore, mainly because collecting them and cultivating them is not easy.

Although the prices at Qibao store weren't low, nobody bought anything.

Don't be fooled by the fact that those Tier 2 weapons are more expensive in total; the Crown Page Set, as a Tier 3 top-tier battle suit, is actually quite sought after.

The profits are quite high!

The old man thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Bai Yang took a few seeds of every auxiliary plant he could name, including the Cloud Vine, the Snail Flower, the Star-Eating Grass, the Swallow Flower, and the Blood Demon Flower.

Strangely, he showed absolutely no interest in the various fruits used for cultivation or in things like wood crystals.

The old man's expectations were dashed.

When Bai Yang walked out of the Qibao store, his bank card contained a staggering 830 billion Black Dragon Coins!

By this time, Luo Feng had finished looking at the virtual network and asked where the others were.

Bai Yang then gave him the address and told him to come over as soon as possible.

The slave market on Qiulong Star is the largest among the hundreds of star systems in the surrounding area.

This is a place he always visits, hoping to find what he's looking for.
