Chapter 471: Shocked
"You mean... I revealed the origin of the premium battleships of level seven technology civilization in order to dissuade them from purchasing too many battleships?" In the starry sky, Lin Yun was astounded when he heard Fang Ao's hypothesis.
"Premium battleships of level seven technology civilization, I reckon, even in a level seven civilization would be top-level strategic resources, difficult to smuggle in. My lord, your sudden revelation will inevitably arouse suspicion, besides, the battleships at this level are too sensitive," Fang Ao said with a wry smile.
"So it appears to be my fault," Lin Yun said, touching his nose.
Although he'd been involved in small businesses for five years, they were really just small ones. Moreover, those common small factories didn't require much negotiation skills, and he had never encountered such a complex matter before.
This kind of thing was related to top-level politics, which an ordinary businessman wouldn't face.
Despite this, he was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very clever. Once Fang Ao pointed it out, he understood.
"I didn't mean that, I'm the one who should be executed..." Fang Ao hastily bowed and apologized with an anxious tone.
"Never mind, it's not your fault." Lin Yun waved his hand and said.
"However, the price I offered this time seems to be on the lower side, next time, I should offer a higher one. Right now, no matter what, everything's just too expensive..." Lin Yun sighed after a pause.
"Indeed, the price you offered was quite cheap," Fang Ao nodded in acknowledgment.
When Lin Yun had previously asked him about the price at which the Kodis Royal Family bought the battleships of level seven technology civilization, even he didn't know. However, he had given Lin Yun a recommended price based on his multi-faceted analysis.
It certainly wasn't just thirty billion Spirit Crystals. Still, it was much higher, yet this time, Lin Yun didn't use it in his business dealings.
Smuggling a battleship from a level seven technological civilization was not an easy task. For a bottom-tier battleship at a level seven civilization's price of thirty billion Spirit Crystals, he guessed Lin Yun hadn't made much profit.
Huff——huff——huff——
After half a day of continuous flight, they finally arrived in a desolate Star Domain.
By then, most of the resources in the Cosmic Trading System had been dealt with by Lin Yun.
He had already gathered two hundred billion Spirit Crystals.
Lin Yun and a pre-discussed shop owner started the trade.
A minute later, two bottom-tier battleships of level seven technology civilization were transferred to Lin Yun's trade space.
A small discount saved him tens of billions of Spirit Crystals.
"Let's go and find the Northeast King!" Lin Yun said.
Were they just going for a spin and now they're going back?
Could it be that their trip wasn't related to the two bottom-tier battleships of level seven technology civilization?
Fang Ao stood by, perplexed. However, he didn't dare to ask further.

A day later, Lin Yun and associates, aboard a premium battleship of level six technology civilization, returned to the planet where the Northeast King had welcomed them.
"Brother Fang, Brother Lin, what's going on?"
Bo Donghai personally came to welcome them with a smile.
He seemed cheerful on the surface, but inside, he was already discontented.
According to the report from his subordinates, within a radius of tens of thousands of light-years, this particular battleship, whether it was coming or leaving, was always on its own, never accompanied by other battleships.
They promised to bring battleships within a day.
Could it be that they've been fooled?
Are they going to come up with some reasons for not bringing the battleships?
This is a common tactic used by swindlers!
Earlier, they said they didn't need a deposit. Was it just a tactic?
He'd thought that if they truly didn't require a deposit, then this matter was likely to be genuine!
But thinking it over now, this trick was full of holes. If they really had level seven technology civilization battleships or even premium ones, would they only travel back and forth with a level six premium battleship?
"We have brought the battleships already, I wonder if the king has prepared his Spirit Crystals?"
Lin Yun replied with a light smile.
"What?" Bo Donghai was taken aback and quickly frowned.
Had their game started?
Within tens of thousands of light-years, there were surveillance systems. His subordinates had confirmed that no battleships followed their ship within tens of thousands of light-years. Where did they hide the battleships they claimed to have brought?
"I have prepared five hundred and eighty billion Spirit Crystals, I wonder about the battleships..." As he thought, Bo Donghai murmured.
He was still unsure about the other party's background, so he didn't act rashly.
Moreover, among them was a level ten initial stage cultivator Fang Ao, whom he did not want to upset prematurely.
He was curious to see what the final scenario would be. If it was possible to dismiss them without antagonizing them, then he would do so.
"The Battleships are here." Lin Yun said.
As he spoke, he turned to one side and waved his hand, revealing two huge battleships in front of everyone.
"This--"
Fang Ao was taken aback.
He did not expect Lin Yun to be carrying two battleships.
Were these inferior battleships of a level seven technological civilization?
Fang Ao slightly released his mental strength.
Many battleships, due to their material grades, emitted an aura, coupled with various external and internal data; providing it were genuine, they're usually easy to assess.
Just by looking at the shapes of these two battleships, Fang Ao was pretty sure.
Although a level six technological civilization could produce a battleship of this size, it would have been difficult to meet the required data.
The space articles containing these two battleships that Lin Yun released were valuable. Besides, the superior battleship of a level six technological civilization they had been using was not simple either.
Lin Yun probably wouldn't cheat in this aspect.
"Are these inferior battleships of a level seven civilization?" On the other side, Bo Donghai was also stunned.
"I don't know if there is any skilled pilot at Prince Bo's side. You can let them try. There are some navigation instructions here, which are similar to the battleship operating system of Kodis Civilization. They are easy to comprehend. As long as the mental strength is up to the mark, they can operate." Lin Yun said with a little nod.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and brought out a few chips.
Bo Donghai nodded in agreement.
Shortly after, he went to make arrangements.
Testing out a battleship was not an overnight matter.
After Bo Donghai's arrangements were done, he started entertaining Lin Yun, Fang Ao, and the rest of the party.
They were served fine wine, tea, high-end pastries, engaged in various conversations, and so on.
However, as time passed, Bo Donghai became more and more agitated.
Because, the data from the personnel testing out the battleships shockingly good.
The data from these battleships turned out to be quite impressive.
It seemed that in some respects, the data even surpassed the battleships bought from the Royal Family of the Kodis Empire that were of the level seven technological civilization.
In short, buying one for thirty billion spirit crystals was vastly advantageous.
No, it was not thirty billion each, because he purchased two. There was a discount of one billion spirit crystals for each.
He only spent twenty-nine billion spirit crystals per battleship.
"Right, here are the five hundred and eighty billion spirit crystals. Please, Brother Lin, count them." At this time, Bo Donghai overbrimmingly piled up the spirit crystals and told Lin Yun.
"Prince Bo is too polite."
Lin Yun gave a slight smile, scanned with his mental strength, and drew in all the spirit crystals.
The power of mental strength was formidable. He was able to count the numbers of these spirit crystals in an instant. There were exactly five hundred and eighty billion spirit crystals, not one less.
Before, out of politeness, Bo Donghai hadn't directly used his mental strength to perceive Lin Yun, thus, some of Lin Yun's information like his cultivation level, and age remained concealed.
Of course, Lin Yun's skillful control of his mental power, his good convergence, prevented them from "seeing" clearly.
Otherwise, a powerful person could see through a person's "information" just from the mental aura they emitted.
This time, because Lin Yun's release of mental strength was considerable, Bo Donghai felt it more clearly.
But, when he felt it, he was taken aback.
"Lin... Brother Lin is only in his twenties? This... this is peak mental strength of the ninth level?" Bo Donghai abruptly stood up, looking at Lin Yun with a shocked expression, he stuttered.
He was scared by Lin Yun's age and mental strength level.
In his twenties, with the peak mental strength of the ninth level, what was that concept?
