Although there weren't any delightful harvests in the latter part of the journey, it was still a rare find. Even if there was only one type of rare mineral, it would be a worthwhile trip, not to mention that there was more than one type of rare mineral in this trip.
The original plan was to use fifty days to search for the minerals, but in reality it took sixty days. This was because they found some energy ores later on. Although the quality was not good, they were still usable. Therefore, the two team leaders decided to use the energy ores to support the rest of the search and extend the search time.
On the sixtieth day, the two team leaders gave the order to leave Sector U. They did not run into too much trouble this time. They did not run into any robbers, and although they did run into people from Heaven's Birth, everyone just greeted each other and went their separate ways. Lan Hudie still kept a low profile, and 'Mist' and 'Wushe' seemed to have evaporated into thin air once more.
Everyone thought that things had calmed down for now, or this trip would not have been so easy.
Silin did not think that those guys would calm down so easily. The reason they did not run into chaos might be because the conflict did not happen in this area. Perhaps a great conflict was happening somewhere in the League of Stars while everyone thought that everything was peaceful.
However, those were not what Silin was thinking about right now. If he did not have the ability, he would not have the right to speak even if he came into contact with that level. He could only be cannon fodder.
"Are we still going to Sector I this time?"
Inside the meeting room, Waqin asked Shotton.
Normally speaking, if they did not accept certain missions beforehand, they would first submit the information they found to the A Squad, and then decide the fate of these minerals through the A Squad. Usually, the A Squad would keep a portion of the minerals according to their needs, and sell the rest at a high price. This time was no exception.
Shotton nodded, "After discussing with Captain Falvey, the result is still to go to the City of Trade 'Rare Era'."
The team leaders had already expected this decision. To sell these rare minerals at a satisfactory price, going to the City of Trade 'Rare Era' was the best choice.
The City of Trade in the "Rare Era" that Shawton spoke of wasn't a place similar to an ordinary city like people thought. Although the City of Trade in the "Rare Era" also used the word "city", it was actually much, much larger than the "city" that people spoke of.
The 'Rare Era' City of Trade was located on planet I-I100 of Sector I. This planet wasn't small, and it was five times larger than Silin's birthplace, Planet Brown Earth.
From space, Planet I-I100 only had one continental plate, and this continental plate occupied 70% of the planet's surface area. The rest of the area was the sea, with a few scattered islands of different sizes.
The 'Rare Era' that Shotton mentioned was the City of Trade. The entire continental plate was a City of Trade, and it was the largest and most famous trading venue in Sector I. Valuable trades were taking place at every moment.
The City of Trade 'Rare Era' had a history of thousands of years. Thousands of years ago, a few merchants developed the planet's only continental plate into a trading venue, and after thousands of years of development, the present 'Rare Era' City of Trade had become one of the wealthiest places in the League of Stars.
Although this City of Trade had a long history, the truth was that the style of this city leaned towards the retro. There was no lack of ancient buildings that had a long history, and those well-preserved buildings that were filled with an ancient atmosphere were places that some of the literary researchers and artists in the League of Stars fell in love with.
The City of Trade 'Rare Era' was also the largest trading and processing place for rare minerals in Sector I. Many famous gems, enviable energy blocks, and rare materials that many forces coveted were traded out of this place.
It was exactly because of this City of Trade's uniqueness that the City of Trade's security was ranked near the top in the entire League of Stars. Its security measures were even more complete than some places in Sector A. Therefore, as long as a transaction of great value was done in the City of Trade, no one would come out to rob it. Of course, what would happen after leaving this planet was not the concern of the City of Trade's guards. Besides, the people who came here to trade were all capable and had a background. Ordinary robbers would not be able to rob them.
This time, the two teams were going to put the precious minerals they found up for auction at the trading venue. There was no need to worry about not being able to sell the precious minerals, and many people who urgently needed these minerals would stand guard at the trading venue all day long. They would check the traded items in the entire City of Trade, and if they found something they liked or needed, they would rush to the auction venue of their own accord.
The items and samples had already been submitted to the people of the 'Rare Era' trading venue, and the auction of these precious minerals would begin five days later. However, these minerals would be auctioned separately and not together. If they were put together, the price would be too high, and many people would not be able to get their hands on the money at first notice. Therefore, they would be auctioned separately to give the buyers some buffer time to raise their funds. This way, they would be able to sell these precious minerals at a higher price.
Planet I-I100's security was very strict. Many people had to go through several layers of checks to prevent dangerous items and unknown viruses from entering the planet.
This wasn't the first time Kari had come here, but he was especially nervous this time. It wasn't because of himself, but because of the non-human behind him.
The group passed through the security passage one by one. Silin passed through the passage safely, and the Huimao on Silin's shoulder did not trigger any alarm either.
Behind Cillin, Czedow slowly walked into the passageway. Cary and the others who had already passed through the passageway felt their hearts beating wildly. He had once seen a man with a miniature grenade who didn't repent even after he triggered the alarm inside the passageway, causing countless gun barrels and other weapons to suddenly appear around the passageway. Because the person was carrying a miniature grenade, he was frozen into an iceman by the ultra-low temperature gun that looked like a porcupine.
As for guns and whatnot, as long as their attack power did not exceed the limit, they would be returned to the person who passed through the security passage after passing through the security passage.
But a person like Czedow probably wouldn't be executed immediately, would he? At most, he would be given a serious warning and kicked out.
It would be a lie if Silin said he wasn't nervous. Although he was confident, he hadn't gone through an actual test like this before. That being said, Czedow was taking a certain amount of risk by coming here.
As Czedow walked through the passage step by step, Silin and the others' hearts rose and fell.
No alarm went off, and the final test result still showed that he was an "average human".
Shotton gave Silin a thumbs-up. Not even Frunze's robots could come up with a "average human", could they?
Tang Qiuqiu was also clamoring to tag along. She wanted to buy some candy, and she heard that the candy here was a very rare type. Although it was very expensive, Tang Qiuqiu was willing to buy it.
Xueqiu tagged along as well. The security passage didn't classify this kind of animal as a threat.
Walking on the streets of the "Rare Era", one couldn't help but feel like they had returned to the ancient era.
There were no tall buildings that reached into the clouds, and the air was filled with a strong ancient wind.
Shotton and Falvey brought a couple of people to the auction house they contacted earlier. The others had their own time to do their own thing. Silin's group was divided into four groups. Tico and Likrabe went to the medical trade centers. Kari, Xiao Shang, Beaver, and Ba Dao went for a stroll. Kari said that the bars here were very tasty, so he left with his group. Dias and Assia, on the other hand, went for a world of their own.
In fact, Silin was going to go with Kari and the others, but Tang Qiuqiu wanted to buy candy. That was why Silin told Kari and the others that he would look for them at the bar after he bought the candy.
Czedow and Xueqiu followed Silin, and Chifeng as well. This was the first time Chifeng had seen an environment like this, so he was obviously very curious. Although he couldn't help but be vigilant out of habit, he was more curious than anything else. On the other hand, Czedow was constantly collecting new information, but he still looked gentle on the surface. Unlike Chifeng, he didn't reveal his curiosity and vigilance at all.
Following the distribution map of the City of Trade, the group arrived at "Sweet Street". This street was full of desserts, and Huimao was clamoring for Tang Qiuqiu to buy candy as soon as possible so that they could go to a commercial street next door that specialized in luxury pet products to buy fish biscuits.
However, Tang Qiuqiu couldn't resist all kinds of candy. She bit her finger in hesitation. She really wanted to buy the entire street.
"Hey, Qiuqiu, hurry up! Chifeng and I still need to go to the neighboring street to buy something!" Huimao said impatiently while crouching on Silin's shoulder.
Tang Qiuqiu ignored Huimao's complaints. While she was hesitating, she was suddenly attracted by a loud noise.
It was a rustic shop. The flowers and plants on the windowsill were actually made of sugar. The windowsill, which looked like it was made of wood or stone, was actually made of sugar as well. Overall, it had a kind of retro and sweet style.
Tang Qiuqiu wasn't attracted by the layout of the shop, but by a huge lollipop that was slowly rising above the shop. That was a free sample tasting sign.
"Big Brother Silin, wait here. I'll go grab the candy!"
Before Silin could say anything, Tang Qiuqiu ran over. Xueqiu also ran over and squeezed with a group of children who were about the same age as Tang Qiuqiu.
Seeing that the people who squeezed over were all children, Silin stood aside.
Only when it came to candy, Tang Qiuqiu would become like a child.
There was an unwritten rule on this street that only children were allowed to grab candy, and adults weren't allowed to participate. Therefore, there were some bodyguards, nannies, parents, and the like standing on the periphery shouting to remind them not to get stepped on.
This shop was actually a small branch set up by a sugar processing factory. These various types of candy were heavily advertised. Every day, many people would submit a large number of orders because their children liked it.
The candy here was very expensive. One could tell just by looking at the logo. It was considered a luxury item among the sweets. A small bag of candy was equivalent to a flying car.
However, no matter how expensive it was, it couldn't stop the footsteps of the candy lovers in the League of Stars, such as Tang Qiuqiu.
Just when the group of children was fighting over the candy, there was a sudden "pa pa pa" sound from not far away. Then, a big ball floating in the air exploded with a loud bang, and the candy inside fell like rain.
It was another free candy grab.
The surrounding children all rushed over there. Silin's gaze turned over. "Qiuqiu, why don't you go grab it …"
Silin's voice stopped abruptly because he didn't see Tang Qiuqiu and Xueqiu.
It was impossible for Silin to miss them. If Tang Qiuqiu and Xueqiu gave up on the candy grab and went over, they wouldn't be able to avoid Silin's sight.
How could this be?!
