One Million Grade 4 Origin Crystals
"Why does this compass come from the God Race? Or is it a product of the Fig Corporation? "Xia Fei asked in confusion.
After all, this was the territory of the Demon Race. To buy a spatial compass from the Fig Corporation in the Demon Race's territory? This was the greatest irony.
Ricky chuckled. "Sir, is this the first time you've bought such a high-grade compass?"
Xia Fei nodded. A spatial compass worth tens of thousands of grade 4 Origin Crystals would only be bought again if not for the fact that he had too much money to spend. Xia Fei's heart ached at the thought of having to pay such a huge sum.
"The two supreme races have always been at odds with each other, and they are as incompatible as fire and water. That's why they will spare no effort to attack each other. Illegal goods like unregistered spatial compasses have a huge impact on the rules. If an expert were to have such a compass, they would be able to go wherever they want without any restrictions. That's why the races strictly restrict their subordinates, forbidding them from buying uncontrolled compasses."
"This is the Demon Race. Think about it, isn't chaos in the Demon Race exactly what the God Race wishes to see? Thus, the God Race secretly produced some unregistered compasses and sold them to the Demon Race, while the Demon Race would also sell their compasses to the God Race's illegal traders. "
Xia Fei understood. This was the so-called mutual sabotage in a trade war. Of course, one's own race would not be allowed to sell something that was forbidden, but they would be more than happy to sell it to their enemies. This was why the compasses produced by the God Race would so easily appear in the Demon Race's territory. It was nothing more than a mutual sabotage.
"Due to unregistered compasses flooding the market in recent years, there has been quite a bit of chaos in the territories of the two supreme races. This is especially so for those forgotten races. They often use compasses to kill people and rob them. Their methods are very vicious."
"These are all side effects of the conflict between the two supreme races. That's why more than a hundred years ago, The God Race and Demon Race came to an agreement that they would no longer sell unregistered compasses to each other's territories, and only then did the chaos in the Law Realm lessen. Of course, there are still some inventory left on the market, but the price is only getting higher and higher.
"I won't hide it from you. This compass is the treasure of my little shop, and I've kept it for many years, unwilling to sell it. If not for the fact that I hit it off with you today, I definitely wouldn't have taken it out. You should have heard of the famous Fig Corporation, right? They're one of the God Race, perhaps even the strongest corporation in the entire Law Realm. Not a single item they produce isn't of the highest quality, and it's hard for ordinary people to even see one."
Though Ricky spoke politely, he was still a profiteer deep down, so he casually revealed the fact that this compass was not going to be cheap.
"What's the teleportation distance of this compass?" Xia Fei asked in a deep voice. He could vaguely sense that he was going to be ripped off by Ricky today. There was no helping it; he was in desperate need of a supreme-grade compass.
"Fig Corporation, one hundred series of compasses, an accurate version. The effective teleportation distance starts from the center of the Law Realm, and it has a radius of ten billion lightyears. Its greatest characteristic is its accuracy, with the error not exceeding a centimeter every hundred million lightyears!
"You should also know that spatial compasses will often have errors. After all, opening a spatial rift for such a long period of time requires an extremely high level of technology! There will only be an error of one centimeter every hundred million lightyears, which means that if you were to travel from here to ten billion lightyears away, you would at most be one meter away from your coordinates.
"That's why this compass is called the accurate version. Currently, in the entire Law Realm, the only company that can achieve such a small error is Fig Corporation!"
Xia Fei's heart was bleeding. The accurate version was, of course, more expensive than the normal version. This thing would definitely fetch an astronomical price!
After a pause, Xia Fei said, "Actually, I just wanted to buy a normal version of this compass. Since you don't have it, I'll have to make do with it. How much is this compass?"
Of course, Xia Fei knew what ultra-high accuracy meant. His so-called making do with it was just a tactic to suppress the price.
In ultra-long-distance teleportation, the slightest error was enough to have fatal consequences. If one tried to teleport from one warship to another and ended up being sent through an alloy steel plate that was several dozen meters thick due to the error, he would probably not even be able to cry. His body would instantly become one with the alloy steel plate, and he would lose his life.
Under normal circumstances, when using a compass, one would choose a relatively open area to avoid unnecessary losses due to the error. Of course, if the compass was more accurate, there would be more teleportation points to choose from, which would make it more convenient and practical.
Ricky said, "As long as the spatial compass has an error of ten meters every hundred million lightyears, it's considered a high-quality product, but this compass from Fig Corporation can achieve an astonishing error of one centimeter! You can see just how powerful it is.
"This is your first time coming to this humble store, and it can be considered fate that brought us together. Let's be friends. For just nine hundred grade 5 Origin Crystals, this powerful Fig Corporation model one hundred precision version will be yours."
Nine hundred grade 5 Origin Crystals was equivalent to ninety thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals! Moreover, grade 5 energy storage Origin Crystals were already the best of the best in the circle. Aside from wealthy families like the Nine Great Clans, no ordinary person had ever seen one. Xia Fei did not even have one on him.
In truth, the price was not that expensive. In fact, it could even be considered cheap. Such a top-grade spatial compass would cost no less than thirty thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, and Ricky was asking for ninety thousand, which was only three times the price.
After all, this was a black market item that was not registered and could be used at will. A price of ninety thousand Origin Crystals was definitely very generous.
"The price is still acceptable. I'll take the compass, but I don't have that much cash on me. I need to sell something first before I buy it," Xia Fei said.
Ricky was slightly taken aback. As a shrewd businessman, he could smell something off about Xia Fei. It was the calmness of an expert, and he could deduce that Xia Fei's rank was not low.
In the Law Realm, wealth and rank were often directly proportional. The higher a warrior's rank was, the more wealth they would have, which was why he was so polite to Xia Fei. Unlike that snobbish restaurant, Ricky was dealing in big business, so he had very sharp eyes.
Xia Fei immediately made the decision to buy a spatial compass worth ninety thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, which left him quite shocked.
"Hehe, our esteemed guest is truly forthright. Let's talk upstairs. I won't hide it from you; my Saruman Trading is considered a top-grade merchant in Black Lion City. Whether you're selling a black market item or a white market item, as long as it's good, I'll buy it all."
Seeing that he was about to make a big deal, it was time for him to show off his strength. Ricky immediately boasted as he led Xia Fei to a secluded and luxurious room on the second floor.
The clerk carefully brought out a silver tray, which had an alloy box with the logo of Fig Corporation printed on it. Ricky opened the box and saw a top-grade compass that was just a little bigger than a watch quietly lying inside, surrounded by a luxurious white velvet cushion, which made the dark black compass look incomparably noble.
"This is Fig Corporation's Model 100 Precision Compass. It has a fully automatic location-finding function, and if you enter a location that's dangerous, you'll get a voice notification. It has a super rigid outer shell that's waterproof, fireproof, and anti-collision. It can be used in the harshest of conditions, and it can be shrunk so that you can easily hold it in your hand.
"Most importantly, this compass can accommodate multiple people. Normal compasses can only accommodate three people at most, but this compass can accommodate six people at most, which is double that of a normal model! After all, you'll need to spend money every time you activate it, so being able to accommodate multiple people at once will save you a huge sum of money! "Ricky excitedly introduced the compass, as if he was very familiar with its functions.
"Xia Fei, you've really struck a treasure this time. This compass's performance is really not bad, as expected of a top-grade product from Fig Corporation, but why do I feel that 90,000 grade 4 Origin Crystals is a little too cheap? Could there be something fishy going on here? "Phantom whispered into Xia Fei's ear.
Xia Fei also felt that something was off. Zanian had mentioned before that a normal version of a compass of the same grade would cost 20,000 grade 4 Origin Crystals. This compass was very powerful, much more powerful than a normal compass, and it was an unregistered item, so it did not make sense for it to be sold for 90,000 grade 4 Origin Crystals.
If Xia Fei were the one selling it, he should be selling it for more than 200,000, yet he was only selling it for 90,000? Could he really have picked up a bargain?
* Pa! *
Ricky closed the box. Xia Fei had yet to pay up, so this item still belonged to him. Xia Fei could only take a look at it at most.
"Esteemed customer, may I have a look at the item you said you were selling?" Ricky chuckled. This man was very particular about the rules, never once asking for Xia Fei's name. Most humans who came to the Demon Race were fugitives who had committed crimes, so it was taboo to ask for their names.
Xia Fei nodded, gently taking out that dark metal divine armament from his spatial ring, Waning Moon's Toll.
"Dark metal!" Ricky's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with excitement.
"It's actually a dark metal divine armament! A treasure! It's definitely a treasure! "
Xia Fei was not too concerned. He still had another Ode of Hundred Spirits in his spatial ring, which was also made of dark metal. Compared to this, Xia Fei felt that the Ode of Hundred Spirits, which could attack separately, was much more suitable. As for the blade, Xia Fei already had the Wicked Blood Crystal, which was far more useful than this item.
Waning Moon's Toll, which was not that important to Xia Fei, was something that Ricky could not take out. His finger kept stroking the blade as he praised it.
"Refined dark metal, flawless workmanship. This blade is definitely a masterpiece created by a master blacksmith. The design is unique, and I'm afraid that the person who designed this blade is also at the level of a master blacksmith. It's rare and definitely a top-notch item!"
After looking at it for more than ten minutes, Ricky reluctantly put down Waning Moon's Toll.
"Esteemed customer, are you really going to sell this dark metal divine armament?"
"Yes."
"That's good." Ricky was in high spirits as he sternly said, "Please give me a price."
Smiling, Xia Fei said, "One million grade 4 Origin Crystals."
* Shing ~ *
Ricky's smile came to an awkward halt, and his expression turned ugly.
Actually, Xia Fei did not know the price of dark metal, but Lionheart Emperor Oro had once said that using Waning Moon's Toll to exchange for a superior-grade spatial compass would not only be enough, but he would also have a surplus, which was why he had called out a high price of one million.
Asking for a sky-high price was a common tactic used by merchants on Earth, and Xia Fei was naturally very familiar with it. He did not even blush when he called out this price, acting as if it was a matter of course.
Ricky hesitated for a long time before asking, "How … how much?"
"One million grade 4 Origin Crystals." Xia Fei raised a finger.
Before he could even finish his sentence, he heard the door to his room open.
"One million? I'll take it! "
