Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 451: A Trading Opportunity



"The speed of this technology in gathering resources is indeed extraordinary..."

Not far from Earth, the powerful beings from the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm were genuinely kneeling in the void. It seemed that they were repenting to the fallen citizens of Earth, but they were also observant of their surroundings.

After all, their strength was tremendous, and their perceptual abilities were no ordinary.

Watching how Lin Yun's forces were rapidly gathering resources in the starry space, they could not help but marvel in private.

In the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, their major factions still used primitive methods for resource collection, manually gathering one by one. Although each individual was powerful and their speed of gathering resources was not slow, it was far less efficient than the speed of collecting resources using technology.

"If we had this technology for resource collection, it would save us a lot of manpower, allowing them to have more time to cultivate, which would also enhance our overall strength. Just for this point alone, it would be worth acquiring these technological devices..."

Some powerful beings from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm quietly thought.

Under normal circumstances, they would have seized these items long ago.

However, now, the presence of the Mother Saint watching over them forced them to kneel in contrition, preventing them from daring to act recklessly.

They could only anticipate the future secretly.

How would these powerhouses from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm react if they knew about Mother Saint's existence? Where would the Mother Saint go next, to Earth, the Immortal World, the Heavenly Realm, or even beyond?

If that were the case, Earth would no longer have any significant being to guard, considering the environment of the Earth. Staying here was greatly disadvantageous for cultivation.

At that time, they might be able to act differently.

Such as, acquiring this technological strength from the Earth's humans?

In an instant, more than twenty days had passed.

Lin Yun's forces involved in resource collection had expanded into thousands of groups.

After reaching a thousand groups, Lin Yun did not add any more.

Because the Mother Saint had given him an approximate deadline of a month. Should she arrive early, he would have no time to gather resources.

In that case, purchasing new forces for resource collection could result in a potential waste.

Moreover, retrieving these resources also took time.

He could not afford to provide every group with space items of large volume, as that would be too costly.

Around a thousand groups were nearly his limit.

Over the twenty days, the resources he had on hand were worth about eight billion Spirit Crystals, and adding the value of the thousand groups, his gains were huge over this period.

"With my current resources, I could buy a robot with the strength of a mid-level ten Tier cultivator. If the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm were not so powerful, I wouldn't even need to leave..."

Lin Yun reflected.

About fifty years apart, the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm sent their forces down once. This time, only forty years had passed. If he was given a few more years...

With a thousand groups, in over twenty days, they obtained so much resource.

If he were given a few more years and allowed to continue collecting resources, even if the resources were multiplied by hundreds or thousands, it would still be possible.

"So, could I buy a robot with the strength of a high-level eleven Tier cultivator?"

Lin Yun murmured to himself.

"A high-level eleven Tier... What if I purchase a robot with the strength of a twelve Tier cultivator? The power of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm is too great, with dozens of superwarriors who surpass the twelve Tier cultivators. There are countless twelve Tier cultivators... And, what would it mean to be able to purchase a robot with the strength of a high-level eleven Tier cultivator?"

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly.

The power of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm was so strong that it left people helpless.

"Even if I purchase a robot with the strength of a twelve Tier cultivator, it would be useless, let alone the fact that robots with the strength of a twelve Tier cultivator sold on the Cosmic Trading System are likely limited. If I want to compete with the power of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, perhaps…"

"Perhaps, the only way lies in cultivating by myself…"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up. At this moment, an enlightening thought emerged in his mind.

Yes, he could cultivate on his own!

With so many Spirit Crystals, it should be enough for him to cultivate!

Why was he always thinking about buying more powerful robots?

Was it because he had been encountering powerful enemies recently and had become so reliant on external force that it had become a habit?

"Could this be why those saints and powerhouses discouraged Earth people, people of the Immortal World, and the Heavenly Realm from studying the technology? Getting used to relying on external force can lead to inertia in thinking, thereby affecting cultivation..."

Lin Yun pondered.

Speaking of which, the development of Earth was truly miraculous.

Thousands of years ago, the first saint, Elder Lord, was born, followed by the emergence of others saints one after another.

Apart from the saints, many powerful beings also emerged.

In the universe, countless civilizations developed over the course of innumerable years. The stronger the civilization, the longer it took to develop. Any high-level civilization would have developed over hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

Some ancient and powerful civilizations even developed over tens of millions of years or even billions of years.

Yet, Earth stood at the pinnacle of the universe within just a few thousand years. Countless powerful beings came to pay homage to Earth as a sacred land, an incredible feat.

No, it was even less than a few thousand years.

This happened thousands of years ago, and at that time, the development process might have been only over a thousand years, or even just a few hundred years.

It was said that within the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm, there lay the Beyond. There, a day transcends a year in the mortal world. If true cultivators from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm were largely cultivating in the Beyond, they would only experience ten or more years over those thousands of years?

Achieving the realm of powerhouses just over a few dozen years?

No matter how one thought about it, it was unbelievable.

"If there really was such a fast cultivation speed, no wonder those saints and powerhouses looked down on technological power..."

Lin Yun murmured.

Thinking about these matters, a passionate zeal was gradually kindled within Lin Yun.

As fellow Earthlings, those people were able to cultivate themselves to such realms in such a short period of time. Why couldn't he? Why couldn't they?

The might of the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm stirred a sense of powerlessness within him. Yet, it also instilled a surge of confidence.

"Although, I don't have environments like the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm. But I have the Cosmic Trading System and the Earthling's talent. One day, I can impact the universe too...,"

Lin Yun raised his head, looking towards the Earth's direction, the word resonating in his soul:

Resources!

If he wants to develop using the Cosmic Trading System, he needs adequate resources!

The Immortal World, the Heavenly Realm was teeming with super warriors. If he wanted to influence the cosmos, he probably couldn't do it on his own. He needed people around him to build strength, and that required a vast amount of resources!

Lin Yun turned his gaze back onto those who were collecting resources specifically.

They only had a few days left...

One day… two days… three days…

Time gradually slipped by.

Before he knew it, the one-month deadline was getting closer and closer.

"Um, young brother Lin Yun, your things, they're really ingenious. Could you leave some to me? I can offer something in return...,"

A man's voice suddenly rang out in Lin Yun's ear.

"Hmm?"
Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Yun looked up to see a cultivator from the Immortal World who was floating in the void near Earth looking up at him.

Seeing Lin Yun look over, the other party gave a small smile and nodded slightly.

Clearly, the person who had just spoken was him.

"This super warrior from the Immortal Realm wants these resource-gathering equipment? Just right, I was about to leave here. By then, I won't have much use for most of the resource-collecting equipment. If they're put on the Cosmic Trading System, they'll be priced as used goods. Selling them to him might not be a bad idea…,"

Lin Yun's mind stirred, and he pondered to himself.

Actually, when the master of the Cosmic Trading System ventures into interstellar navigation, they usually encounter the second phase of expansion. This doesn't only mean they'll come across different types of resource-ful planets.

A person's power is limited.

Even if the master of the Cosmic Trading System is strong, the number of resource planets they encounter is also limited.

If a master of the Cosmic Trading System encounters an extraterrestrial civilization that lacks a Cosmic Trading System's master, trading with that extraterrestrial civilization is equivalent to having a sentient life of that civilization help them collect resources.

What is paid out is merely a small amount of technological items and various resources that this civilization lacks.

This is the true path of a Cosmic Trading System master to use the word "trade" within it.

Not long ago, Star Blue encountered a cultivation civilization.

As a result, Star Blue was schemed against by the super warrior of that cultivation civilization. This seldom occurs and isn't the normal development path.

Star Blue originally planned to gather some unmanned resources first, enhance its own strength, and then make contact with the super warriors of that civilization to exchange various resources.

Regrettably, such an incident happened...

Star Blue's weakness is just one reason. The super warrior of that cultivation civilization was too cunning and greedy, that's the second reason.

At this moment, trading with the super warriors of the Immortal and Heavenly Realm wouldn't be any different from a Cosmic Trading System master encountering a new civilization and trading with the people of that civilization, would it?

It's just that this new civilization is the powerful Immortal and Heavenly Realms.

Actually, if you think about it, isn't his relationship with the Immortal and Heavenly Realm similar to Star Blue's relationship with that cultivation civilization?

In the beginning, the super warrior of the cultivation civilization didn't take Star Blue's power seriously. In fact, they wanted to use a scheme to wipe out Star Blue and its possible accomplices in one fell swoop.

At the start of the descent, didn't the Immortal and Heavenly Realm warriors look down on Qingyun Company?

In the end, this resulted in such an outcome.

Now, Qingyun Company has eliminated hundreds of super warriors from the Immortal and Heavenly Realms, and the super warriors from the Immortal and Heavenly Realms have killed billions of worldly people. The Spirit of the Mother Saint has emerged, and this situation has become complicated.

Presumably, apart from the strongest warriors in the Immortal and Heavenly Realms, no one can be sure of the outcome.

Lin Yun's trade with these super warriors of the Immortal and Heavenly Realms probably only has this one chance.

"What price do you want to offer?"

Thinking about this, Lin Yun pondered before asking.

Even though Qingyun Company had eliminated hundreds of super warriors from the Immortal and Heavenly Realms and the super warriors of the Immortal and Heavenly Realms had killed billions of worldly people, this profound hatred was not necessarily impossible to reconcile for those in power.

After all, neither party had lost their core interests.

"These days, I've seen you collecting lots of resources. You seem to need a variety of resources very much. I have some resources here too. I don't know if I can exchange them for your technological equipment..." Seeing Lin Yun relent, the super warrior from the Immortal Realm also heaved a sigh of relief and telepathically communicated to him.

With the previous incidents in mind, he was really worried that Lin Yun might disagree.

While speaking, he had already sent over information about some resources.

"These resources..."

Upon seeing the resource information sent by the other party, Lin Yun was taken aback.

It turned out that the types of resources the other party sent were all rare resources; the worst of them were at least of the odd, original level. Many resources, of the same quantity, were worth hundreds to thousands of times more than gold on the Cosmic Trading System.

Sure enough, the resources in the Immortal and Heavenly Realms were more abundant and advanced.

Lin Yun quietly reflected.
