Chapter 592: Chapter 561: A Net Worth of Trillions

“That bumpkin sure is lucky, managing to obtain such a treasure as the Golden Essence Liquid. Not long ago, a significant amount of Golden Essence Liquid was up for sale on the Cosmic Trading System. It must have been him selling them, right? As for their eighth-level top-grade battleship, no doubt they bought it in the same way. What good luck they have!”

Some owners of the Cosmic Trading System voiced their jealousy.

As the saying goes, there’s all sorts in life, and so it was.

Lin Yun heard their comments but did not bother to respond.

It’s only people of mediocre talent whom nobody envies.

In this world, there’s no shortage of people who are envious of others. If one paid attention to each one, wouldn’t one be exhausted?

...

As Lin Yun mingled with the Cosmic Trading System owners, he began to understand the rules of the gathering.

Eventually, he learned of three main ways of trading here.

The first was private transactions, like the one he had had with several Cosmic Trading System owners.

The second was setting up stalls at places similar to fairgrounds for a multi-person trade. Since point-to-point methods didn’t always meet mutual needs or maximize the value of valuable treasures, this way was more beneficial.

The third method was holding an auction at a specific time.

Many Cosmic Trading System owners intended to trade with Lin Yun as the Golden Essence Liquid was very popular. However, upon examining their bids, Lin Yun realized they were not very high.

They were significantly lower than the Cow Demon’s initial bid.

Most of these people justified their low offers with the current competitive price on the Cosmic Trading System – a classic negotiating strategy.

“If the offers on the Cosmic Trading System were fair and accurate, would everyone still trade in person?” Lin Yun shook his head in disbelief.

In the end, Lin Yun chose to trade with two Cosmic Trading System owners who placed reasonably high offers and had valuable treasures he needed.

“Regrettably, the help these precious treasures provide to martial arts isn’t very substantial…”

After trading five drops of Golden Essence Liquid for seven prized treasures, Lin Yun felt a twinge of regret.

Five drops of Golden Essence Liquid, dated against the double price offered by the Cow Demon, was only worth about ten trillion. Purchasing seven precious treasures showcased their lesser value compared to the Golden Essence Liquid.

At the very least, they could not compare to the Heavenly-luck Flower.

One Heavenly-luck Flower could fetch over ten trillion on the Cosmic Trading System, and the price could rise to twenty or thirty trillion, maybe even higher, in real-world trading.

The items these people offered fell short compared to those of the Cow Demon.

Upon seeing the list of resources these individuals compiled after observing those offered by the Cow Demon, Lin Yun was disappointed.

“Perhaps, I might be a bit greedy. A few thousand billion, several trillion of precious treasures are actually nice. Plus, my current strength is too strong, so they won’t be as useful to me. However, even if Mengmeng uses them, their effects will not be weak….”

Shortly after, Lin Yun thought to himself.

By now, Lin Yun had already reached the peak completion of Level 10. Even the Heavenly-luck Flower was of no use to him, let alone these less valuable treasures.

But is it accurate to say these treasures are really weak?@@novelbin@@

Obviously not!

Lin Yun was wealthy now, with over eleven million Spirit Crystals in cash and more than five hundred seventy drops of Golden Essence Liquid. The most vital assets were the Golden Essence Liquid, which could be sold on the Cosmic Trading System for nearly tens of trillion Spirit Crystals.

Including his cash on hand, Lin Yun’s wealth had undoubtedly surpassed trillions.

As is often said, he who has money talks loudest.

It was only natural that Lin Yun would not be impressed with these trillion-dollar treasures.

However, as the Golden Essence Liquid matter was of great importance, Lin Yun did not share it with anyone, not even Lin Mengmeng or Xia Qingqing.

This was the reason why Xia Qingqing didn’t pay too much attention to the Cosmic Heart after she saw it.

Lin Yun had placed robots in the star domains surrounding the Kodis Empire, and Xia Qingqing had been the one to manage them. She was well aware of how much money these robots had earned.

Despite earning a lot, Xia Qingqing was aware that they had also spent plenty.

They don’t have much money left.

The Cosmic Heart, worth more than twenty trillion Spirit Crystals, was a very expensive item.

Xia Qingqing was a pretty sensible girl and naturally wouldn’t ask Lin Yun for it.

Compared to Lin Yun’s enormous wealth, many Cosmic Trading System owners were not as affluent. At this gathering, there might have been quite a few owners worth several trillion Spirit Crystals, and some even over ten trillion. However, very few would be willing to spend such a vast amount of funds on one or two items.

This was the reason many Cosmic Trading System owners envied Lin Yun earlier: an eighth-level civilization’s top-quality battleship, with a comprehensive strength comparable to that of a Level 11 peak robot. Many of them did not have the seventy trillion Spirit Crystals required for such a ship on the Cosmic Trading System.

Most Cosmic Trading System owners focused on their bottom line and future development. External military power such as battleships and robots were deemed satisfactory as long as they fulfilled their needs. Potentially wasting resources on expensive purchases was less of an attractive option.

Battleships and robots required energy to use. To counter enemies with five, six, seven, eight district cultivators or battleships, would one need to employ such a high-grade battleship or robot?

That would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!

The cost would exceed the earnings!

While many Cosmic Trading System owners had experienced quite smooth development, causing their confidence to inflate, they still knew how to balance the books!

“Golden Essence Liquid!”

“It’s indeed the Golden Essence Liquid!”

“Haha, fortune favors me!”

As Lin Yun was trading with two Cosmic Trading System owners, three others hurried over. They must have heard about the Golden Essence Liquid. As soon as they entered, they exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Yun looked up, only to see that two of them had a horn on their heads, looking quite similar to the Cow Demon, probably its clansmen. The third one did not have any horns, but his vitality and blood energy were quite formidable, indicating he was a body cultivation expert.

Whoosh-

One of the Cosmic Trading System owners, bearing a single horn on his head, rushed towards Lin Yun in desperation. He reached out to grab the small bottle in Lin Yun’s hand, simultaneously stating, “Let me see!”

Whoosh-

However, before his hand could touch the bottle, Lin Yun moved back and evaded him, calmly stating, “Sorry, the Golden Essence Liquid you want to see is set aside for a trade with someone else. You can see it, only if you have valuable treasures to trade!”

“Huh?”

Seeing that Lin Yun avoided his extended hand in public, the single-horned Cosmic Trading System owner frowned slightly, feeling quite embarrassed.

Being a master of the middle stage of Level 11, he surmised that Lin Yun, who was only at the peak of Level 10, should be far from being his opponent. Experiencing such an event made him rather displeased.
