Ever since he left the trash planet, he had never been troubled by money. On the one hand, he did not care much about money. On the other hand, with Mu and Shang around, he did not have to worry about money.
Now, the first problem in front of him was actually the problem of money. He had very few ways to earn money. If he was alone, he would have no qualms about it. However, with so many people around, it was not a good idea to go overboard.
Ye Chong turned to Sang Fan and asked, "Did you bring lavagold weapons?"
Sang Fan answered immediately, "Only a lavagold dagger."
"Give it to me." Ye Chong reached out his hand. Sang Fan immediately removed the lavagold dagger from his thigh and handed it to Ye Chong. Sang Fan's lavagold dagger was made by himself. The sheath was made from the skin of a steelbat, and was sturdy. The dark sheath was simple and sturdy.
Hai Lian stared curiously at the inconspicuous dagger. Lavagold dagger? What a strange name.
Ye Chong took the dagger from Sang Fan and walked towards a cold weapon shop. The rest of the team saw this and changed their formation, forming a complete battle formation with Ye Chong in the middle, and followed him towards the cold weapon shop.
The combat mastery displayed by this small team caused many people's eyes to light up, and they were secretly shocked.
As they entered the cold weapon shop, the shopkeeper saw a group of people crowding towards them. He knew that this must be a big customer, and was eager to please them.
The shopkeeper was all smiles. "Sir, what do you need? Please feel free to pick anything you like. If there's anything you like, feel free to try it out. If you need a special weapon, we can customize it for you. Our chief weaponsmith is Duo Lanmen. He has the title of Anomaly, and is very suitable for crafting unique weapons. "
Hai Lian was surprised. He did not expect a weaponsmith with the title of Anomaly in a small shop like this. It was very rare. Weapon Spirit Apostles with titles were highly sought after by every faction. Titles represented the characteristics of the weapons they made. For example, this Weapon Spirit Apostle Duo Lanmen had the title of Yi Qi, which meant that the characteristics of the weapons he made were unique.
The surprise on Hai Lian's face made the shopkeeper feel very pleased. Duo Lan Men was his shop's signature. He would give the same introduction to every customer that came in. Every time he saw the surprise on the customers' faces, he would enjoy it immensely.
However, seeing the indifference on the other people's faces, the shop owner guessed that these people might have seen the world. The ordinary goods in the shop were definitely not something they would be interested in. However, he also understood that this kind of person would be a big customer. Perhaps he would make a killing today. Just as he was about to take out the treasures in the shop, the leader of the group spoke.
"Do you buy weapons here?" The plain voice came from Ye Chong.
The shopkeeper was surprised. He was not here to buy anything, and was disappointed. However, he maintained a smile on his face. "Of course we do. What weapons would you like to sell? Please wait a moment. To be responsible to you, our shop will have a weaponsmith from Duo Lanmen personally appraise the weapons. Are you satisfied with this arrangement? "
The people before him did not look like friendly people. To be safe, he decided to let Duo Lanmen appraise the weapons. After all, no one would deny the authority of a weaponsmith with a title.
Ye Chong nodded. "Alright." He then studied the various weapons in the shop.
The weapons here were all cold weapons of all kinds. Some of them had very unique designs, and were an eye-opener for him. Sang Fan and the rest were even more amazed. However, even here, they were still alert, and their formation was flawless. Their life-and-death experiences in Archipelago had taught them to never let down their guard under any circumstances.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked out from the inner gate. He was dressed simply, and was tall and thin. His face was thin, but his eyes were sharp. His hands were wide and nimble, and covered in calluses.
The shopkeeper quickly introduced, "This is Duo Lanmen's weaponsmith. Old Duo, this customer is selling a weapon, please appraise it."
Duo Lanmen nodded, and turned to Ye Chong. "Oh, what is this young man selling?"
Ye Chong nodded in acknowledgment, and handed over his lavagold dagger. "This is it."
Duo Lanmen took the dagger, but did not unsheathe it immediately. Instead, he studied the scabbard carefully. After a long moment, he asked curiously, "What material is this scabbard made of?"
Ye Chong replied, "It's the skin of a species called the steelbat."
Duo Lanmen caressed the scabbard with his right hand, and could not help but praise, "Tough and durable, jet-black and plain. High quality." The shopkeeper was immediately overjoyed. This animal skin scabbard, which even Duo Lanmen had never seen before, was proof that it was not trash. Old Duo had high standards, and there were not many things that could earn his praise.
Duo Lanmen suddenly unsheathed the dagger, and a streak of golden light flashed before everyone's eyes.
"Lavagold!" Duo Lanmen's voice trembled in surprise.
Lavagold's beauty was always dazzling no matter where it was. The dagger was golden in color, and glowed like liquid.
"What a pity …" Duo Lanmen's voice was laced with regret.
"What is it?" The shop owner could not help but ask. Everyone's eyes were on Duo Lanmen.
Duo Lanmen said brusquely, "I wonder which prodigal made this. What a waste. The dagger's design is unremarkable, and does not match the lavagold material. More importantly, he used so much lavagold to make such an unremarkable dagger. What a wastrel, a true wastrel, squandering it to this extent! This is infuriating. If he were my student, heh heh … "Duo Lanmen grew angrier as he spoke. The shopkeeper snatched the lavagold dagger from Duo Lanmen's hands and loved it.
Sang Fan's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, but neither Duo Lanmen nor the shopkeeper noticed. The rest of the Sang Family members looked at Sang Fan with half-smiles. As for Sang Ling, she covered her mouth and giggled. For a moment, Sang Fan was even more embarrassed.
Ye Chong asked, "Then how much do you think this dagger is worth, sir?"
Duo Lanmen replied, "At least 30,000 credits."
The shopkeeper shuddered, almost dropping the dagger in his hand. "Old Duo, you said this dagger is worth 30,000 credits?" The shopkeeper asked with some difficulty. Hai Lian, on the other hand, had his mouth wide open. He was so shocked that he was speechless. A dagger could actually be sold for 30,000 points? Heavens, what was lavagold, to be worth so much?
"Yes, 30,000 credits is the price of this piece of lavagold and the scabbard. The dagger itself is not worth much," Duo Lanmen said seriously.
Judging by their reactions, Ye Chong felt that this was a reasonable price. However, he had no idea how much 30,000 credits were worth.
"Alright, 30,000 credits it is then," Ye Chong said.
When they walked out of the weapons shop, Hai Lian felt like he was dreaming. How could a dagger be sold for 30,000 credits? Had the world gone mad? He was still in a daze, like he was dreaming. In just a short while, he had gained 30,000 credits in his card. Ye Chong and the rest did not have any cards, so the 30,000 credits were all transferred to his card.
"How much is 30,000 credits?" Ye Chong turned and asked.
"How much is 30,000 credits?" Hai Lian answered instinctively, "30,000 credits, my Moonlight mech is worth 30,000 credits." Hai Lian had always worked hard alone. As a freelance hunter, his income was not high. He had saved up for years to buy this Moonlight mech. Now that he found out that the dagger was worth 30,000 credits, how could he remain calm?
Seeing Hai Lian's current state, Ye Chong knew that any questions would be useless. Ye Chong asked the rest, "Does anyone else have lavagold weapons?"
The rest shook their heads. To pilot Collision, they had left most of their lavagold weapons at the Sang Family Village. It seemed like selling lavagold for money was not going to work.
With the money, Ye Chong and the rest went straight to a mech parts shop. Sang Mu was still guarding the mechs. He had to solve the problem of the dimension keystones first, or it would be troublesome if they were in danger.
In the mech parts shop, when Ye Chong saw the prices of the mech parts, he realized how little the 30,000 credits he had was. A brainwave controlled dimension keystone would cost 2,000 credits, while the more expensive ones would cost up to a few hundred thousand credits.
The group was dumbfounded.
"Why is it so expensive?" Sang Ling gasped. Women were naturally sensitive to prices. The rest nodded in agreement.
Hai Lian had returned to normal by now. He looked at the group strangely, and answered matter-of-factly, "Of course, mechs are expensive if not. How can those cold weapons compare to mechs? "
The Sang Tribe was speechless. To them, mechs were the epitome of cutting-edge technology. Yes, if mechs were not valuable, what else could be valuable?
Ye Chong did not hear a word they said. His attention was completely captured by the mech parts on the holographic screen.
Ye Chong's pupils contracted. How was this possible? He almost cried out in surprise, unable to maintain his usual calm. The list of goods on the holographic screen and the mech parts on display made him wonder if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Nanowave guns, black gold alloy shields, Aoki engines … These mech weapons were everywhere, and were not expensive.
Nanowave guns were standard equipment for mechs of the MPA, black gold alloy shields were unique to Black Cove mechs, and Aoki engines were the Sanctuary's mech engines. Mechs that represented the best of the best in the Five Galaxies were commonplace here.
What kind of place was the He Yue galaxy? Why were there products from the Three Forces? Or did the Three Forces' products originate from here?
Besides that, Ye Chong also saw many mech parts that only existed in Mu and Shang's database. All this while, Ye Chong had thought that Mu and Shang's database was synonymous with the most advanced technology. His battles with the Black Cove Sect and the MPA seemed to have confirmed this. However, here, Ye Chong found that while these things were expensive, they could be bought with money. Some of them made Ye Chong envious.
Ye Chong quickly flipped through the introduction of the mech parts on the holographic screen.
Nanowave guns, produced by the Xue Lai Clan; black gold alloy shields, produced by the Ye Family; Aoki engines, produced by the Xi Feng Tribe.
Xue Lai Clan, Ye Family, Xi Feng Tribe. Ye Chong muttered to himself. Weren't these the Three Aristocratic Families that Hai Lian mentioned? What was their relationship with the Three Forces?
Come to think of it, he was on bad terms with the Three Forces. Since the Three Aristocratic Families had close ties with the Three Forces, it was almost impossible for him to get along with them. Ye Chong smiled wryly at the thought of offending the Three Aristocratic Families before he even reached He Yue galaxy.
However, Ye Chong quickly recovered. So what if it was them? Ye Chong was not afraid of them. After the initial shock, he had regained his composure. He was now much stronger than before, and was no longer the kid who would run away whenever he saw them.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that it was best if they didn't attract the attention of the three factions in the short term. Otherwise, with their current strength, he couldn't think of a better choice than to retreat to Archipelago.
Fortunately, they had Archipelago as their escape route. As long as he was alert, even if the Three Aristocratic Families worked together, it would not be easy to force them to a dead end. Besides, Ye Chong was confident of the Sang Tribe's combat strength. As long as he armed them, the odds of victory were still up in the air.
However, their group of people would definitely not be a match for the three great families. Regardless of which aspect it was, his side did not have the advantage.
Ye Chong suddenly asked Hai Lian, "How's the intelligence network of the Three Aristocratic Families? Do they have any influence in Foundation? "
Hai Lian was taken aback. "The Three Aristocratic Families? Of course they're powerful. Who else could compare to the Three Aristocratic Families in terms of intelligence? They have representatives in every city, including Foundation. Are you looking for people from the Three Aristocratic Families? "
Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed. He said to Hai Lian, "Buy eight brainwave-controlled dimension keystones, and use the rest of the money to buy paint, color doesn't matter. Quick! " Ye Chong did not know how good the Three Aristocratic Families' intelligence network was, but he was familiar with the Three Forces' intelligence network. The Three Aristocratic Families must be as good as him! If they did not know about the attention they were attracting, then they would not be worthy of the title of Three Aristocratic Families.
Something must have happened, seeing how nervous the sir was. Sang Fan and the rest straightened their faces, and their aura grew stronger, ready to kill. The air around them turned cold. The customers around them quickly distanced themselves from the group. Many of them saw that things were getting out of hand, and quietly left the shop.
Hai Lian did not dare to be slow, because he saw Sang Tie's gaze fall on his neck, and he could not help but feel a chill on the back of his neck. He used an unprecedented speed to complete the transaction, not caring about the points that he spent like water.
The vending system quickly delivered all the goods to Ye Chong and the rest.
Ye Chong said coldly, "Let's go, out of the city." He led the way out of the shop.
