Cosmic Trading System

"It only takes four thousand Spirit Crystals to get nearly seven hundred per day — I should have done this sooner..." Lin Yun lamented.

However, he was merely making a casual comment — the device specialized in absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy, along with the Spirituality, had only cost him four thousand Spirit Crystals, thanks to Star Blue generously selling them to him at a low price.

Without Star Blue's help, the cost would have been much higher.

In addition, the one thousand and five hundred Spirit Crystals that Star Blue had advanced him for his Spirituality was merely the price difference, which allowed him to gain seven hundred Spirit Crystals. All in all, he might not have had enough even if he had spent six thousand Spirit Crystals.

Before this, accumulating six thousand Spirit Crystals would not have been easy.

Also, if he had chosen that path, the Cosmic Trading System wouldn't have absorbed as much Spiritual Energy as it did.

Ultimately, regardless of his choice, the outcome would have been almost the same.

Now, having this device allowed him to gain nearly seven hundred Spirit Crystals every day. If he were to go and stay in a populous city, the Cosmic Trading System would secure over three hundred Spirit Crystals each day, thus grossing over a thousand Spirit Crystals in total.

This amount was substantial.

It could enable him to accomplish many things.

A gleam flashed across Lin Yun's eyes.

At this moment, with his newfound resources, he has the freedom to do many things.

Because moving forward, even if he stayed in the depths of the mountains and forests, he could still maintain rapid development.

"The population in Shanghai is reportedly larger than in Shen City; thus, making it my next target. But should I go to Shanghai myself or place this device there..." Lin Yun fell into deep thought.

Quickly deciding, as he was unfamiliar with Shanghai, Lin Yun decided to place the device there and stay in Shen City himself.

Less talk, more action. Every second wasted was a loss of Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun went downstairs and soon found a deserted place.

With a wave of his hand, he released an invisible car from the trading space.

The exterior of the car not only appeared almost transparent but could also quickly mimic the surrounding scenery.

While humans on Earth could potentially spot the car from close distance, once it gained speed, it was virtually indistinguishable, silent and stealthiness.

Of course, it also came equipped with surveillance-evading technology.

As such, while the car was not entirely invisible, it was more effective in some ways.

In addition, the car's defense was so strong that even standard Earth missiles couldn't penetrate it.

Naturally, this kind of sophisticated technology was not cheap.

Lin Yun purchased this car using eight hundred Spirit Crystals.

Had it not been for the abundance of resources he currently had, and the fact that the new device could accumulate seven hundred Spirit Crystals every day, he wouldn't have easily parted with such an amount.

Previously, the multifunctional car he purchased for the high-end robots only cost him thirty Spirit Crystals.

After all, every product has a cheaper and a more expensive version.

Just like cars on Earth, you could buy a cheap one for just a few thousand dollars, or even a used one for a few hundred dollars. Yet, more expensive options could cost millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

The cost variation for items listed on the Cosmic Trading System, spanning across civilization levels, was even more astonishing.

A cheap car could be bought for just a few Spirit Crystals.

But expensive cars could cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals. Lin Yun dared not imagine how exceptional these expensive cars must be.

Compared to those, his car was insignificant.

However, in contrast to Earth technology, his car was highly advanced.

Lin Yun felt that, with this car alone, he could accomplish many earth-shattering feats — not something ordinary forces could reckon with.

However, Lin Yun also knew that if this car were to be exposed, it would cause an equally earth-shattering stir.

His current powers were not capable of handling such a storm yet.

Unless completely necessary, he would not take such an action.

Star Blue was right — safety first, there was no need to rush.

Many owners of the Cosmic Trading System met their downfall due to overconfidence at the height of their development — dying just before the dawn. This was a bloody lesson.

His development rate surpassed many other Cosmic Trading System owners. This meant that his patience would not be tested for long.

The speed of a car worth eight hundred Spirit Crystals was unmatched.

The distance between Shen City and Shanghai was one thousand five hundred kilometers.

In just half an hour, Lin Yun arrived.

"A speed of three thousand kilometers per hour — that's twice, if not thrice, the speed of an airplane. You indeed get what you pay for. The car that cost thirty Spirit Crystals could only reach a top speed of one thousand three hundred kilometers per hour..." Lin Yun mused.

Now, while he was only at the outskirts of Shanghai, even his device's wide range of absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy could not cover twenty million people. The population density of Shanghai was even lower than Shen City, so he wondered if he could find a place that could cover twenty million people.

His car could mimic the surrounding scenery, so transforming into an ordinary car was a piece of cake.

However, while in Shanghai city, he could not fly as fast as he did before. It would be better to drive like an ordinary car.

Shanghai was one of the top cities in Huaxia, with various facilities and personalities that were not comparable to ordinary places. Lin Yun was not sure if driving at high speed in Shanghai would be detected, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

An hour later, Lin Yun stopped in front of a barren plot in a high-end district.

This location seemed quite suitable. He felt that the speed of absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy was similar to when he activated the device in Shen City.

Lin Yun casually threw a fist-sized black object. It wrapped around the "jade pendant" and rolled into the grass, then over to a patch of barren ground where it released several small tentacles and quickly burrowed into the soil.

This black object, called Earth Drill, cost him ten Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun closed his eyes. He could sense that the Earth Drill was moving rapidly, covering ten meters per second. In under a minute, it burrowed five to six hundred meters deep into the ground.

Because of the small size of the Earth Drill, the area of disturbed soil was also small. The soil above quickly covered up the hole, making it look like a small piece of land had loosened — a highly common and inconspicuous sight.

"This should be completely safe," Lin Yun thought to himself.

To ensure absolute security, he had the Earth Drill dig a further two thousand meters. If it could still be detected at that depth, he would be utterly amazed.

Lin Yun wore a faint smile and directed the car to leave the area.

When Lin Yun returned to Shen City, he could feel his balance on the Cosmic Trading System soaring.

A daily yield of over a thousand Spirit Crystals was indeed impressive.
