“Respected sir, our Qibao Store has acquisition services, but your transaction amount is relatively large, and we do not have the authority to decide. Please wait a moment while we notify our store owner.”
The two rabbit-eared maids originally thought Li Xin and the other two were just browsing and wouldn't buy anything.
But they didn't expect such a large transaction as soon as he made a move. They dared not neglect him in the slightest and immediately reported to their store owner.
“Hello, I am the owner of this Qibao Store. My name is Helen. Regarding your transaction, I would like to see the actual items with my own eyes.”
Soon, a stunning woman dressed in a form-fitting red outfit, exuding an air of nobility, walked over. She gazed at the first-order stellar-level young man before her, seemingly wanting to see through Li Xin.
“My name is Li Xin. Of course, your request is not a problem. My spaceship has been specially modified with its power system 1.5 times more powerful than the original. Also, the core combat system of the B8-level mechanical puppet is stronger than even that of a typical B9-level mechanical puppet combat system.”
Li Xin waved his hand, and a spaceship appeared in the open space. Inside this spaceship were 400 B8-level mechanical puppets.
After Helen heard Li Xin's introduction, she dispatched professionals to appraise it.
“Owner, the appraisal results are out. They are completely consistent with what this gentleman said. Especially the modification of the spaceship's power system; the technology is incredibly powerful. Even the strongest technology of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire cannot modify this spaceship's power system to such perfection.”
“Furthermore, the technology used in the mechanical puppets is also stronger than that of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. If we buy them and then resell them, we can make a huge profit.”
After the appraisal, numerous professional appraisal experts quietly informed Helen of the results.
“Interesting. These technologies are not something this first-order stellar-level young man can possess. They should belong to the family behind him. He must be short on ganwu currency for some reason and needs to sell them on Qiu Long Star. This is a good opportunity to connect with him; he might become a major client.”
Helen looked at the three Flowing Silver Guards who had been protecting Li Xin all along and began to piece together Li Xin's family background with great interest.
“Mr. Li Xin, what price do you want to sell for?”
When it came to the negotiation stage, Helen became exceptionally serious, exuding the aura of a seasoned businesswoman.
“First, I want ganwu currency, not black dragon coin.”
“Secondly, I want forty million ganwu currency for the spaceship, and three hundred thousand ganwu currency for each B8-level mechanical puppet.”
In this current transaction, the spaceship was only a small part, while the mechanical puppets were the main bulk.
If he were to simply sell B8-level profound iron essence, its price would be less than one-fiftieth of the current price. But by manufacturing it into mechanical puppets before selling, the price would increase by more than fifty times. This is the difference between finished products and raw materials.
“Your asking price is too high. If it were black dragon coin, we could pay, but for ganwu currency, I can only give you twenty million for the spaceship and two hundred thousand for each mechanical puppet.”
Their Qibao Store was spread throughout the Ganwu Universe Country, so obtaining ganwu currency was easy, but since this was the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, she naturally wanted to drive the price down.
“Deal!”
Hearing Helen's words, Li Xin did not continue to haggle, as this was already significantly higher than his expectations.
In the original work, Luo Feng sold his universe spaceship for just over 12 billion black dragon coin, which converted to about 12 million ganwu currency.
And his manufacturing cost for each mechanical puppet was approximately four to five thousand ganwu currency, so selling them for two hundred thousand felt very worthwhile to him.
Most importantly, the official channels could not exchange black dragon coin for ganwu currency!
“Mr. Li Xin, have you found any treasures you like in the Qibao Store?”
After the transaction was completed, Helen's face broke into a brilliant smile, and her beautiful eyes looked at Li Xin with surprise, seemingly not expecting him to not continue bargaining.
“I have indeed taken a liking to a few things, such as three Second-Order Force Armors, three B9-level force weapons, and also one Third-Order Force Armor and weapon, and one metallic armor and weapon.”
Li Xin wanted these items mainly to take them back for research, to see if his Automaton Race clone could replicate them. If so, he would have another source of income, as force armor and force weapons, and metallic armor and metallic weapons, were all very popular items in the universe.
“Everything Mr. Li Xin needs is fine. Given Mr. Li Xin's generosity earlier, the total cost for the items you require is four hundred million ganwu currency, but I will give you a ten percent discount, so you only need three hundred and sixty million ganwu currency.”
After hearing what Li Xin needed, Helen's lips curved into a slight smile. The profit she could gain from this buying and selling was immense.
The reason it was so expensive was mainly that Li Xin had chosen the top-tier Third-Order Force Armor and weapons in the Qibao Store. These two items, for Cosmic Level Nine powerhouses, would likely require them to accumulate centuries of wealth to afford.
“Deal!”
He had previously sold the spaceship and mechanical puppets, gaining eight hundred and twenty million ganwu currency. Now, spending three hundred and sixty million ganwu currency, he still had four hundred and sixty million ganwu currency left. He felt no heartache at all for the money spent; money was meant to be spent.
“Mr. Li Xin, do you need anything else?”
After witnessing Li Xin's grand spending, Helen's eyes grew even more gentle, wishing she could drain the remaining four hundred and sixty million from Li Xin as well.
“If I need to buy anything in the future, I will come again.”
After getting the items, Li Xin didn't continue to spend here. The things here were too expensive!
“Big Brother, you're so generous!”
Thunder God and Hong had been by Li Xin's side the whole time, and they were no longer ignorant natives. They naturally knew what several hundred million ganwu currency represented.
“These two Second-Order Force Armors and weapons are for you.”
Li Xin, with a flick of his hand, gave two force armors and weapons to Hong and Thunder God. He had originally bought them for Hong and Thunder God. Although their current strength could not fully utilize the power of the Second-Order Force Armors and weapons, Li Xin believed they would soon be able to.
“Let's go, I'll take you to the last stop. After going there, I'll give you a sum of ganwu currency, a spaceship, and bodyguards. Then you'll have to make your own way.”
Li Xin never intended to keep Hong and Thunder God by his side to cultivate them. After all, strong individuals were forged through life-and-death experiences, not nurtured in comfortable environments.
“That sounds great! We don't want to stay under Big Brother's protection forever; we wouldn't grow that way!”
Hong and Thunder God were both strong-willed individuals with ambitions to become stronger. They knew exactly what they needed!
