Cosmic Trading System

The stocks of Tianyu Group hadn't yet experienced a seere drop and weren't yet at the stage when they could fall further.

However, Zhang Zhongguo had been in a state of severe distress these past few days.

Many projects had been halted, many major brands had ceased their collaborations, many people were demanding repayment of debts, some directors were causing chaos, and governmental figures were periodically causing trouble. In just a few short days, Zhang Zhongguo was completely worn out.

These days, he had been researching who exactly was targeting Tianyu Group.

But he had not found anything conclusive. Over the years, their Tianyu Group had angered so many people. Many seemed likely to be the culprit, but, at the same time, many did not. Some of his business competitors had come to plunder, which only made it even harder for him to identify the true enemy.

He had thought about tackling this issue by dealing with the batch of shorted stocks, yet those particular stocks had not been touched since they were shorted.

Lin Yun felt no pity for Zhang Zhongguo's circumstances.

Zhang Tianyu had dared to target Xia Qingqing and had persistently caused him trouble. Zhang Zhongguo not only failed to restrain him, but also indulged him. Furthermore, the way Zhang Zhongguo conducted himself was far from commendable. His abnormal tactics had led to many people going bankrupt and destroying their families. There were countless such victims.

Therefore, he was not deserving of any sympathy.

During these days, Hang Lee managed to reacquire another thousand kilograms of gold.

After receiving these gold pieces, Lin Yun immediately exchanged them for one hundred Spirit Crystals from Star Blue.

At that moment, he received a message.

Would you like to choose to expand the range of absorbing and refining spiritual energy provided by the Cosmic Trading System? One hundred Spirit Crystals can be used to expand the range of absorption and refining of spiritual energy to a radius of one hundred meters.

This information was something Lin Yun had known early on from Star Blue.

Star Blue had told Lin Yun that he himself had chosen this method.

Despite a few thousand Spirit Crystals being able to purchase professional spiritual energy absorption and refining equipment, which provides a broad range, the efficiency of absorbing and refining spiritual energy using that sort of equipment with the same amount of people, is far lower than the high efficiency of the Cosmic Trading System's own functions.

According to the principle that the spiritual energy emitted by sentient beings is the most irreplaceable resource, Star Blue chose to expand the Cosmic Trading System's area of spiritual energy absorption and refining.

In any case, there were only about fifteen million people on his side. He could call upon everyone to live within a smaller area.

Given enough time, he would recover any additional expenditures of Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun thought for a moment, and he also decided to opt for this method.

Although the population of Earth is vast, he thought that maybe by collecting a few thousand Spirit Crystals, it would be more economical to then buy professional spiritual energy absorption and refining equipment. However, he believed that the spiritual energy, which is abundant among Earth humans, should not be wasted.

He would have chosen this option sooner or later anyway.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with expanding the Cosmic Trading System's range of absorption and refining of spiritual energy a bit earlier.

As to when he could collect a few thousand Spirit Crystals, he had no idea.

If he expanded the Cosmic Trading System's absorption and refining range earlier, he would be able to absorb more Spirit Energy Points a little sooner.

The difference between a hundred meter radius and a thirty meter radius is significant.

In terms of area, a thirty meter radius is only nine hundred base units, whereas a hundred meter radius is ten thousand base units.

This is a difference of more than ten times.

Not to mention, there's also the vertical difference, such as the floors above and below. If he were in a tall building, then the difference in the Cosmic Trading System's absorption and refining range would be even greater.

"Buzz—"

The moment Lin Yun made his selection, he felt an invisible wave emanate from his body, quickly spreading outwards. Huge amounts of spiritual energy surged towards him, nearly several times more than before.

At the same time, the one hundred Spirit Crystals in the transaction space vanished.

"These Spirit Crystals really don't last long," Lin Yun sighed inwardly.

With one hundred Spirit Crystals, he could have bought many things, but now they were all gone.

However, truth be told, the effects were quite good.

At present, he was not in the Golden Dragon Building. He was only on the street, but at this moment, he felt the rate of increase of his Spirit Energy Points was not any worse than when he was in the Golden Dragon Building. In fact, it slightly exceeded it.

This was quite normal. When he was in the Golden Dragon Building, the radius was thirty meters, and it didn't even cover the whole building.

Here, with a radius of one hundred meters, he could even cover the tall buildings on either side. The increased speed of acquiring Spirit Energy Points was better than when he was in the Golden Dragon Building, which was quite normal.

However, the number of people in the Golden Dragon Building is still quite large, and there are also many people around. If he was in the center of the Golden Dragon Building, the rate at which Spirit Energy Points increase could be much greater.

"This is only a radius of one hundred meters, if it were a radius of a kilometer..." A gleam of bright light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as he said softly.

A radius of a kilometer is quite a large area, with a radius of one kilometer and a diameter of two kilometers.

The population density of Shen City is high. He estimated that he could cover at least a million people, if not more.

If, one day, he constructed a very large and very tall building with many people inside.

The efficiency of the Cosmic Trading System's absorption of spiritual energy would be even higher.

There were many examples like this on the Cosmic Trading System.

Many Cosmic Trading System's masters also chose this method of absorbing and refining spiritual energy. They did this for even greater efficiency.

One building is like a city.

The quality of the building was excellent, and the different cycles within the building were also well managed.

The environment was no worse than many of Earth's cities, and in fact, it was even better and had more character.

Hmm, this was a good idea.

He could consider this for the future.

After another day, Hang Lee brought back good news.

The elaborate accessories had already gained recognition and began selling that day. They were extremely popular on the site, and many tycoons showed interest in these accessories. He held a small auction on a whim and asked Lin Yun whether he wanted to sell a large quantity of goods that day or slowly sell off the goods.

Lin Yun replied that he could sell a large quantity since he could still get a hold of this grade of accessories.

After Hang Lee agreed, he started confidently dealing with those delicate accessories.

In the afternoon, Hang Lee called again, exceptionally excited, "Those accessories have all been sold. We made a total of 870 million RMB. Several big pieces sold for over 100 million RMB each, and the most expensive piece even sold for 210 million RMB."

Upon hearing these figures, Lin Yun was also a bit surprised. He didn't expect those accessories to sell for such a high price and be so popular that they sold out completely.

However, through this, it was clear to see that Hang Lee's connections were extensive. With normal promotional strategies, attracting so many bigwigs would be near impossible. Hang Lee managed to sell all these accessories in just one day, and even hosted a small auction on the spot. It was certainly an incredible effort.

"Not only that, but other accessories in our store also made a total of 170 million RMB in sales today. Haha!" Hang Lee laughed heartily.

With a day's sales exceeding one billion, he had set a record. He assumed that many strong jewelry and accessory stores in Shen City would not have such sales. The most important thing was that a day's sales had completely established Lee's Jewelry's reputation, making it impossible for other jewelry and accessory stores to suppress it.

"Not bad at all. I have some more accessories here. Come and get them," Lin Yun said with a smile.

"Great. I also have something to discuss with you," Hang Lee responded quickly.
