Chapter 474: Powerful Strength
This wait lasted half an hour.
Fang Ao's expression grew increasingly serious.
The longer the time, the more abnormal the situation became, and the greater the possibility of changes.
Although they had a robot with the strength of a level ten peak martial artist with them, this was the territory of the Northeast King. Although the armament here was not as good as the Imperial Family, it wasn't simple either.
If a conflict did occur, it would likely result in both sides suffering losses.
"Master, we can find an opportunity to let Yang Two demonstrate his strength…" Fang Ao's expression changed a few times, before he once again bent down to whisper into Lin Yun's ear.
If Bo Donghai saw Yang Two's strength, he would probably hold back. No one would want a situation where both sides suffer.
Lin Yun looked deeply at Fang Ao.
It had to be said that Fang Ao wouldn't have reached his current position without some intelligence.
If it weren't for the fact that he had the Cosmic Trading System as backup,
Doing as he suggested might have been the best course of action.
"I understand." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
Before long, another five minutes had passed.
"Haha, my apologies for the wait. There's a lot of money involved, so it took some time. I ask for your understanding." Bo Donghai suddenly reappeared before the group, laughing heartily.
"It's no trouble." Lin Yun replied.
"These are Spirit Crystals, a total of two trillion pieces. Brother Lin, please count them and see if the quantity is correct." Bo Donghai waved his hand, releasing mountains of Spirit Crystals again.
"The quantity of Spirit Crystals is correct. These are three battleships and their control methods." Lin Yun nodded and answered.

Whoosh---
As soon as his words fell, Lin Yun waved his hand and released three battleships.
Two small and one large, even the small battleships were larger than the medium-quality battleships of the seventh-level technological civilizations that Lin Yun had previously released. The large one, on the other hand, looked extraordinarily majestic.
The three battleships, radiating a more powerful aura, were clearly of a different tier than level six technological civilization battleships. They were even several tiers above them. Even the top-quality level six high-tech civilization battleships couldn't match up to them.
"Good, good, good!"
Upon seeing the majestic exteriors of these battleships, Bo Donghai's face turned red as he nodded in extreme excitement.
"According to the information Brother Lin gave you, you should quickly try out these battleships. If you encounter any problems while Lin is still here, you can ask him." Bo Donghai instructed his followers.
"Yes, my lord."
His followers obeyed the order and dispersed.
"Alanan, if you could offer me a better discount, I would like to place an order for five more level ten peak robots. How about that?"
Meanwhile, Lin Yun was contacting Alanan on the Cosmic Trading System again.
Another large income made Lin Yun more confident. He figured that five level ten peak robots might not be enough to deal with things efficiently, so he decided to buy five more.
Ten level ten peak robots should be sufficient.
With the spirit crystals earned from the two previous low-quality level seven technological civilization battleships, he had earned over 27 trillion spirit crystals in one trip.
And ten level ten peak robots would cost just a little over six trillion spirit crystals.
When you have money, you can be willful. It was just that simple.
After all, the level 11 robots were too expensive. Although he could barely afford to buy the lowest grade ones now, he wasn't considering buying them. Soon, he would need ten peak level 10 robots; it would be better to buy them early.
However, once one's power broke through to level 10, a earth-shattering change would occur. The same was true for robots. Ten peak level 10 robots couldn't defeat a single robot in the early phase of level 11. A level 11 robot was not out of the question for his future plans.
"The prices are already less than 90 percent of the original. How much more do you expect me to lower?" Having heard Lin Yun's words, Alanan's face darkened as he spoke.
"Hehe, is it less than 90 percent? How much so? Actually, I don't necessarily need to purchase a robot with the power of a peak level 10 cultivator. Ten robots with the power of a peak level 10 cultivator cannot defeat a robot with the power of an early phase level 11 cultivator. A robot with the power of an early phase level 11 cultivator might be a good choice too," Lin Yun said with a smile.
The previous transaction wasn't a typical one; based on the cost conversion formula, it was barely 90 percent. Alanan had said it was less, so Lin Yun went along with it.
It was already difficult to barter for a robot with the power of a level 10 cultivator. Less than 90 percent was already a huge discount.
"..." Alanan was rendered speechless.
He realized that he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
Originally, he had only said those words to prevent Lin Yun from bargaining further. But he hadn't thought about the fact that their earlier transaction wasn't typical. Going forward, Lin Yun obviously couldn't trade a robot with the strength of a mid-phase level 10 martial artist for a robot with the strength of a peak level 10 martial artist.
"Fine, I'll offer you an 88 percent discount, does that satisfy you?" Alanan said, resignedly.
"Deal," Lin Yun immediately agreed, without haggling further.
"I can't believe I'm selling robots with a power level of 10 at such a price, I'm impressed with myself," Alanan said with a bitter smile.
"That's not how it is. With thin profits but high sales, based on my estimation, you must be lacking spirit crystals right now. Our earlier deal netted you at least 50 billion spirit crystals, which should greatly alleviate your situation," Lin Yun advised.
"In our next transaction, you can also make a lot. Add it all up, and the spirit crystals you earn should exceed 100 billion, so what are you not happy about?" Lin Yun said with a smile.
He suspected that Alanan must be lacking spirit crystals because robots with the power of a level 10 cultivator sell really well in the Cosmic Trading System, and yet Alanan was willing to reduce the price by such a large margin.
If he wasn't short on spirit crystals, he probably wouldn't do this as it somewhat violated the unwritten rules of trade at this level.
In the long run, this wasn't good for Alanan either.
"Don't you earn more? You probably discovered an uncivilized proprietor of the Cosmic Trading System, right? And this civilization's level isn't low. You're the one who's going to make a fortune. The same merchandise could net you at least two or three times the profit. If I earn 100 billion spirit crystals, you can earn at least 20 trillion spirit crystals," Alanan said, sighing.
In his tone, he was noticeably envious of Lin Yun's circumstances.
Actually, the star domain where he lived was not that good. He could afford to buy these robot production lines because he had discovered several heaven-defying treasures.
Originally, he had wanted to use the spirit crystals he had exchanged to rapidly boost his power.
Latterly, however, he realized that this approach might quickly elevate his power to a formidable level, but without a new source of resources, the more his power increased, the more spirit crystals he would have to spend. This was very unfavorable to his long-term development.
So he simply exchanged them for these robot production lines.
The problem was, after exchanging for these robot production lines, he had only a few spirit crystals left.
Business was not easy either. Although robots with the power level of a level 10 cultivator sold well, that was only relative to other items, and also dependent on the growth of the shop.
It's said that if a shop's sales volume is high and its reputation good, it will be preferentially displayed to other proprietors of the Cosmic Trading System, or to those with closer proximity. Maybe because his shop was new or because there weren't any powerful Cosmic Trading System proprietors nearby, he hadn't had many buyers even after being in business for a long time.
In the end, he had no choice but to promote sales and boost his sales volume first.
During this process, he couldn't stop cultivating, and there were too many good items in the Cosmic Trading System. He desired to purchase everything he saw, which made him thirst for spirit crystals.
"You're overthinking it. I'm buying these robots for my own use," Lin Yun laughed as he spoke.
"Just the same, Brother Lin can afford so many powerful robots, which means the things that Brother Lin is guarding must be more valuable. This implies that Brother Lin is not a simple character," Alanan said smiling.
