Cosmic Trading System

"Are the Lu Family and the Mo Family going to make a move?"

"These two old buggers, they really have guts. The profits from Qingyun Company are not low. They are getting quite a good deal from it..."

In Capital City, within a luxury mansion, an old man opened his eyes in slight surprise, his tone somewhat complicated.

"Grandpa, Qingyun Company's profits are so huge. Are we just going to stand by and watch? Grandpa, I'm telling you, Qingyun Company's products are excellent. It has the potential to become a giant in the industry. Its market value is at least hundreds of billions or even trillions..." a young man stated unhappily.

"Not to mention foreign companies, a market valued in the hundreds of billions in our country is not rare. But some rules must be followed, otherwise the world will descend into chaos. If the world is in chaos, do you think you can protect even vast wealth?" The old man glanced at the young man and continued calmly.

"Xiaojun, you have a good eye. There's a high probability that Qingyun Company's market value could reach in the trillions. With this mindset, try spotting similar opportunities in various markets. If you find one, you could make a significant contribution to our family..." the old man stated after a brief pause.

"But that's hundreds of billions... even trillions! All going to the Mo Family and the Lu Family, it's too cheap for them... Qingyun Company has several products, and there's Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel... Our influence is not inferior to that of the Mo Family and the Lu Family. Can't we get a share, too?" The young man was still unsatisfied.

"There are many forces within Huaxia which are not inferior to the Lu Family and the Mo Family. If we want a slice of the pie, others will undoubtedly want the same. How would you expect the Mo Family and the Lu Family to divide the benefits?" the old man asked with amusement.

"Moreover, do you really believe the Mo Family and the Lu Family will monopolize these huge profits? I doubt their capacity to do so. As I anticipated, they are likely to distribute some of the profits to a few of the top powers.

Otherwise, how do you explain the lack of severe reaction from Capital City's officials to the massive uproar about Qingyun Company online?" the old man continued with a mild smile.

"What? The Lu Family and the Mo Family will distribute the profits of Qingyun Company to those top powers? That's hundreds of billions, or even trillions!" The young man was shocked.

"Not only that, I reckon they won't skimp on the share they give away. Xiaojun, you're the only promising one in our family's line. There is much you still need to learn. If in the future our family stumbles upon a massive profit opportunity, we would inevitably have to do the same. We must be willing to give in order to gain.

It's crucial not to be too greedy to ensure the family's lasting lineage..." the old man nodded slightly in agreement.

Similar happenings were taking place elsewhere.

"I heard that there's a martial arts grandmaster backing the Qingyun Company. In order to resolve this matter neatly, the Lu Family and the Mo Family might need the power from those top forces..."

"A martial arts grandmaster, acting as if he can protect all this large profit. He's really overestimating himself..."

Though the actions of the Lu Family and Mo Family were secretive, some major families and powers were keeping a close eye on this matter. They had various sources of information, and some of them shook their heads.

"Recently, there was some trouble in the Mo Family. I was expecting that after a while, the Mo Family wouldn't have the energy to deal with this matter and that would be our opportunity to step in. But I didn't expect the Mo Family to act so resolutely..."

Some people expressed their regrets.

...

"What? The Lu Family and the Mo Family are making a move?"

Lin Yun had been monitoring the movements of the Lu Family and the Mo Family using certain means. Even before he reached Shen City, he received a notification from the Super Brain in the trading space, which caused his face to change slightly.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Lin Yun immediately grew anxious as he was controlling his stealth vehicle, flying at top speed towards Shen City.

Unfortunately, the place where he had just attacked three of the Mo Family's ships was far from Shen City. His stealth vehicle was already flying at top speed, and even if he rushed, it wouldn't go much faster.

"Young Master Yun, Miss Qingqing and I are under attack. There are three grandmasters at the Huajin stage, and one of them is at the intermediate level of Huajin..."

Soon, Lin Tian informed him, his voice filled with urgency.

"Three grandmasters at the Huajin stage? And one is at the intermediate level of Huajin!"

Lin Yun's face turned grave. The Mo Family and the Lu Family had acted too swiftly, and their strength was overwhelming... three grandmasters at the Huajin stage, and one was even at the intermediate level of Huajin. He hadn't expected that the Mo Family and the Lu Family could muster such a formidable force.

Simultaneously, he hadn't anticipated that the Mo Family and the Lu Family would be bold enough to directly target those by his side.

These past few days, the Mo Family and the Lu Family had been pressuring him through official forces. He thought, at least for a short period, they wouldn't threaten him using the people by his side.

At this point though, it seemed that he had underestimated the Mo Family and the Lu Family's ruthlessness.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian relayed that he was doing his best to stall the opponents, but given their state, he wouldn't be able to hold them off for long.

"Mo Family, Lu Family, you're courting death,"

There was a glint of blood red in Lin Yun's eyes as he growled.bit his lips, muttered in a low voice.

"Damn it!"

Soon after, Lin Yun burst out in exasperation.

He had just exhausted almost all of his Spirit Crystals on the Cosmic Trading System... Had this occurred three or four hours earlier, when he had over seven thousand Spirit Crystals at his disposal, he could have done a lot.

Even if this incident had happened just an hour or two earlier, before he bought those two resource collectors, he would have had over two thousand Spirit Crystals to use, and he could have done a lot then as well.

Now, he only had over a thousand Spirit Crystals...

"Big Brother Star Blue, I need your help... "

Lin Yun controlled the flying car, flying towards Shen City a bit further before starting to send messages to Star Blue.

"Lin Yun, what's the matter?" Quickly, Star Blue replied, asking.

"Someone around me is in danger now. I need a faster flying car. What's the fastest speed of the flying cars you have? I have here an invisible flying car that can travel up to 3000 kilometers per hour—bought recently with eight hundred Spirit Crystals. I am now selling it to you, and I hope you'll give me the highest price possible.

Then, you'll sell me your faster flying car at as cheap a price as you can. Anything under two thousand Spirit Crystals, I can afford..." Lin Yun hastily said.

"Alright! Your flying car, since it's been used, I guess I can only give you about nine hundred and fifty Spirit Crystals for it! Due to the small scale of my civilization, I only have one flying car that can fly up to six thousand kilometers per hour, which I purchased with one thousand five hundred Spirit Crystals.

Since it's second-hand, I think I can sell it to you for eight hundred Spirit Crystals! Do you have any other items you can sell at a high price now..." Knowing the urgency of the situation, Star Blue also hurriedly replied.

"Damn it!"

Lin Yun was reminded by this remark from Star Blue. He slammed his fist onto the control panel in front of him in frustration. Because he didn't want to continually take advantage of Star Blue, he had just sold those three ships and their resources. If he had sold it to Star Blue, he could have made a couple hundred more Spirit Crystals.

At this moment, a couple hundred Spirit Crystals would have been very useful.

Unfortunately, what was done was done, and it was now too late for regrets.

Now, he did not have anything else to sell on-hand.

Wait... There were those two resource collectors that he could sell...

However, because he had just bought those two resource collectors recently and to sell them back to Star Blue, due to restrictions on new users by the Cosmic Trading System, he would not be able to sell them at a higher price.

The most crucial fact was that these two resource collectors, although not too far from Shen City, were opposite from his current location. If he were to go to those two places to retrieve the collectors and then return to Shen City, he did not know how much time he would waste.

Right now, three Huajin Grandmasters were targeting Qingqing and Lin Tian, and anything could happen every second.

Therefore, this idea was not feasible, and Lin Yun quickly abandoned it.

After heading to Shen City, he needed to go immediately to Immortal Origin County. Qingqing was only his girlfriend. If Qingqing and Lin Tian had problems there, it would be very likely that trouble would also befall on his sister and mother.

He had already sent messages to Lin Di, Lin Xuan, Lin Huang, instructing them to go into hiding with his sister and their parents.

He quickly calculated.

He now had over fourteen hundred Spirit Crystals...

He could sell his invisible flying car for nine hundred and fifty Spirit Crystals. Star Blue would then sell him his flying car for eight hundred Spirit Crystals. It would be as if he hadn't spent any Spirit Crystals and, on the contrary, he would have an additional one hundred and fifty Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun did not think about selling his invisible flying car for two thousand three to four hundred Spirit Crystals on the Cosmic Trading System to purchase a better flying car.

The original price of Star Blue's flying car was one thousand five hundred Spirit Crystals. Even if he bought a car on the Cosmic Trading System in a short period, he wouldn't get a much better one.

After this transaction with Star Blue, he could not only get a better flying car but also have about sixteen hundred Spirit Crystals left over.

Sixteen hundred Spirit Crystals would allow him to do many things.

For example, if he bought a robotic assistant with the strength of a Huajin Grandmaster, he could buy one and still have six hundred Spirit Crystals left over.

With six hundred Spirit Crystals, he could buy some high-tech weapons.

"Right, Brother Star Blue, do you have any robots with the strength of a Huajin Grandmaster and some high-tech weapons..."

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yun immediately asked Star Blue.

"We do have Huajin Grandmaster strength robots here. What level do you plan on buying? I can give you a discount! An early-stage Huajin robot can be priced at seven hundred Spirit Crystals. A mid-stage Huajin robot can be priced at two thousand Spirit Crystals!" Star Blue immediately replied back.

He didn't offer any higher-level robots because he knew Lin Yun's Spirit Crystals were limited.

"As for high-tech weapons, I have these..." Then, Star Blue sent a list.

"I want an early-stage Huajin robot and these items..." Lin Yun, being quick to respond, made his choices rapidly and informed Star Blue.

"No problem," Star Blue nodded.

The two reached an agreement, and the next step was the transaction.

One minute later, Lin Yun purchased Star Blue's flying car.

Lin Yun immediately switched flying cars, his speed towards Shen City instantly doubled and then started selling his original flying car to Star Blue.

One minute later, the flying car was sold successfully to Star Blue. His balance on the Cosmic Trading System increased by over nine hundred Spirit Crystals, and he began to trade the robot and high-tech weapons with Star Blue.

Another minute later, Lin Yun only had a little over two hundred Spirit Crystals left on the Cosmic Trading System.

At the same time, Lin Yun's trade space now included many pieces of equipment.

Lin Yun then wholeheartedly set direction to Shen City.
