Cosmic Trading System

Stepping out of the warehouse, Lin Yun hesitated slightly.

Then, Lin Yun stopped hesitating and began heading for another warehouse.

As far as he knew, that other warehouse was the resource storage site for an international conglomerate.

Usually, Lin Yun wouldn't want to resort to these kinds of means to use these resources.

However, it was a critical moment, and there was no need for him to follow the rules rigidly.

The main reason was a piece of information that the Photon Brain had previously sent over. The Huaxia government's core network had already reached a level-four technological civilization, and there was indeed a spacecraft following their flying car.

Because the level of that spacecraft was high, he couldn't check the information on it and could only conclude that it should be a level-four technological civilization spacecraft.

Now, the foes could attack at any moment; whether he still had time to gather resources in other countries was an unknown variable. To continue acting with rigid conformity would be pedantic.

Regardless, he had no intention of taking anything for free. He had already taken note of the other party's information. Once he developed further, he would compensate them.

Of course, there were some resources he had no intention of making payments for.

For example, the resource sourcing methods of some conglomerates were particularly shady. Some were the proceeds of robbery, some were the product of various means of employing illicit labor, etc. Such conglomerates were not in short supply, and their primordial resource gathering was difficult to supervise.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Yun, along with Lin Jiu and a few other regular robots, left America.

He had interacted with Lin Jiu and his group of robots. If he were to leave them behind, it would only be leaving them for the foe. Lin Yun did not believe that they would let Lin Jiu and the others off. It would be better to take them along.

Lin Jiu was a robot with the strength of an early-stage Huajin martial artist, a significant asset in combat.

At this point, the Spirit Crystals in Lin Yun's Cosmic Trading System had reached 33,000.

Indeed, as the old saying goes, "violence and thievery yield gold"—Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh as he left.

No wonder some countries always preferred to wage war. Accumulating wealth bit by bit was much slower than stealing it.

He had allowed Lin Jiu to make full efforts to purchase for half a month and still didn't get as much as he just did.

Next stop was Canada.

"Get someone down to check out the situation here. Be careful not to alert the American authorities…"

Inside the aircraft that had been trailing behind Lin Yun's flying car, a man quietly mused.

Then the aircraft moved, continuing its pursuit of Lin Yun's flying car.

Honestly, if they weren't so eager to trace back the course of the vine to find the alien technology behind Lin Yun, they would've acted against Lin Yun a long time ago. The United States happened to be one of the main countries that received alien technology. If the United States were to discover their actions, they'd be in trouble.

They weren't worried about their safety. They were afraid that the United States would discover the secret on Lin Yun.

In that case, they would have a harder time getting a hold of the alien technology behind Lin Yun all for themselves.

Honest to God, they had a heated debate about whether to take action against Lin Yun. In the end, they decided not to for the time being.

The more actions Lin Yun made, the more he exposed, and the more they could eventually find out.

"He seems to be flying towards Canada right now…"

"Hold off on taking any action for now. Let's see what he's up to…"

As time passed, the individuals inside the aircraft eased up a little. When it came to Canada, they had no fear.

Canada was very close to the US, and Lin Yun arrived at his destination merely half an hour later.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Yun left Canada.

The Spirit Crystals in Lin Yun's Cosmic Trading System had reached 63,000, surpassing what he had accumulated over many days in Lianshan Town. Of course, Lin Yun used the same method he applied in the American warehouses on the Canadian ones.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have obtained so many resources and Spirit Crystals.

Star Blue's Spirit Crystals were even running low. Although Star Blue had harvested many resources in the Starry Sky recently, they were not too generous with their expenditures. Coupled with their significant consumption in the Starry Sky, Star Blue didn't have many Spirit Crystals left.

Your adventure continues at empire

However, Star Blue discussed it with Lin Yun and asked him to sell various resources to acquaintances Star Blue knew.

Lin Yun agreed.

Regardless, he'd be selling these resources to someone. Selling them to Star Blue's friends would even earn him favor, so why not?

As a result, when he put the resources up for sale, he would send a message to Star Blue. Star Blue would then notify their friends to specifically shop for what they needed on the Cosmic Trading System.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Among this, there was the matter of Lin Yun owing Star Blue some Spirit Crystals. Lin Yun told Star Blue that he would pay them back once the current matter was resolved, or in due time.

Star Blue said there was no urgency. Actually, what Lin Yun owed Star Blue was just the price difference of a few thousand Spirit Crystals, which was not too little or too much compared to Star Blue's recent earnings.

The Spirit Crystals Star Blue had earned from Lin Yun were quite a lot, overall. Therefore, they honestly weren't in a hurry. They were more eager to become friends with Lin Yun. They had a foreboding feeling that once Lin Yun developed, they would gain much more.

"If I keep up with this speed, by the time I've visited five countries, the Spirit Crystals I've gathered will surpass 100,000, which is enough to purchase a spaceship of a level two technological civilization…"

Lin Yun took a glance at the information about the tracking aircraft on his Photon Brain and pondered to himself.

Previously, he didn't buy a spaceship. Instead, he bought a robot with the strength of a late-stage Innate martial artist because low-level Cosmos spaceships had extremely poor mobility.

Unless he was leaving earth in a spaceship, it would be challenging for him to launch an attack, especially in a small area. Even a single Innate expert could easily resist it.

Knowing that the Sky Group had not just one Innate expert, he naturally didn't want to purchase this kind of low-level Cosmos spaceship.

Starting and stopping a low-level cosmos spaceship could take a considerable amount of time. If he tried to take off from Earth, it would require even more time. If his departure was detected by a Sky Group powerhouse during that time, they could launch an attack, leaving him nowhere to go and regretting his decision.

Moreover, the fact that the Huaxia authorities possessed level four civilization technology made things even more uncertain. Who could guarantee that Huaxia didn't have more advanced flying craft, or even higher-grade cosmos spaceships? If he were to leave Earth and be pursued, it would be disastrous, as he had no retaliatory power.

Leaving Earth was not a decision he intended to make lightly. If given the choice, he would prefer to hide beneath the sea.

Purchasing a robot with martial artist's strength at the Innate advanced level would have been a better strategy. Accompanied by a superior flying vehicle and other equipment, he could both attack and defend.

It would be much more cost-effective than buying a low-level cosmos spaceship.

However, a cosmos spaceship of level two civilization technology would undergo massive qualitative changes.

At the very least, the time needed for each startup and stop would not be too long. Furthermore, he had trade space, which could be paired with a higher-grade flying car, reducing the stress in case of an emergency.

A cosmos spaceship of level two civilization technology would exhibit a substantial increase in its defensive ability. It could withstand two or three nuclear weapons, which a low-level spaceship could not achieve. That's the reason Lin Yun was willing to purchase a spaceship of a level two civilization technology.

Next stop, the UK.

With a single thought, Lin Yun commanded the flying car, and it accelerated once more.

He would have to buy another good flying car...

Lin Yun thought to himself.

As he traveled, he became increasingly aware of the importance of buying a superior flying car. Whether he purchased a level two civilization-technology spaceship or for his current needs, he would need a good flying car.

The flying car he used now was of level three civilization technology, with some combat capabilities. These types of flying cars usually cost between one thousand and ten thousand Spirit Crystals.

The speed per hour ranged from one thousand to ten thousand kilometers.

Of course, a flying car of this civilization technology level could reach higher speeds.

Take, for example, the unmanned aircraft on Earth could supposedly reach ten thousand kilometers per hour. However, such aircraft were small in size and limited in endurance.

Just as when Lin Yun purchased his first ordinary flying car, it only cost him dozens of Spirit Crystals to reach a speed of one to two thousand kilometers per hour.

On the Cosmic Trading System, a standard flying car, especially one with combat capabilities, had to meet certain standards on various fronts. Hence, the price range is genuinely relatively perfect in terms of the technological level, among other factors.

The key to perfection was agility, which was the core standard of the Cosmic Trading System.

If a flying car lacked flexibility and came across an enemy, it would be courting death. The enemy could easily calculate your flight path and exploit the vehicle's weaknesses. Even a significantly inferior vehicle could easily defeat you, like hitting a fixed target.

Naturally, Lin Yun did not want to buy such a vehicle.

A level four civilization-technology flying car could achieve a speed of ten thousand to one hundred thousand kilometers per hour.

Lin Yun was leaning toward a level four flying car.

The flying car used by Lin Yun was a level three civilization-technology flying car. Its speed reached six thousand kilometers per hour. Naturally, if he swapped his flying car, he would want a significantly superior one.

If it was only slightly better than his current car, then there was no need to change.

However, when he first got the flying car he was currently using, Star Blue only spent fifteen hundred Spirit Crystals, as the car was not a standard combat car. Because of its cheaper price, Lin Yun was considering quickly purchasing a better flying car.

He would not be in such a hurry if he hadn't found out that Huaxia's authorities possessed a higher level of civilization technology or an even more advanced flying craft. Even if he bought a flying car, it wouldn't necessarily have to be a standard model.

Because even if there were flying defects, the other party might not be able to take advantage of them.

Now, things had changed.

"The flying craft behind is likely to be of a level four civilization technology. I don't know if it's a standard model; however, if I buy an ordinary flying car with outdated specifications, I could be at a disadvantage…"

Lin Yun frowned.

It was a dilemma. He wanted to buy a good one, but he didn't have enough Spirit Crystals. If he spent too many now, it would affect his plans to buy a cosmos spaceship later.

"First, buy the flying car! Consider the cosmos spaceship later! On a planet, a good combat car might be more useful than a cosmos spaceship of the same price!"

Quickly, Lin Yun made up his mind.

Subsequently, Lin Yun quickly zeroed in on a superior level four civilization-technology combat car, priced at sixty thousand Spirit Crystals. It could reach a top speed of sixty-five thousand kilometers per hour.

True enough, if you didn't buy, you didn't have to spend. But once you bought, you had to spend a large number of Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun sighed inwardly.

He still wanted to buy a level two civilization-technology cosmos spaceship. However, he now realized he couldn't afford one for the time being.

Lin Yun did not buy a second-hand one, even though a second-hand combat car would be much cheaper. No one could ascertain just what problems a second-hand car might have, and he could not afford to waste time on such issues now.

Sixty thousand Spirit Crystals deducted, the shipment began.

On this side, Lin Yun was eagerly looking forward to it. What would a flying car that costs sixty thousand Spirit Crystals look like?

The top speed was sixty-five thousand kilometers per hour, which was a terrifying thought. Earth's circumference was only forty thousand kilometers, wasn't it?

Could he reach the other side of Earth in twenty minutes? Or circle it in forty minutes?
