Chapter 577: Harvest
"Sssss!"
At the scene in the starry sky, all the masters of the Cosmic Trading System's faces changed, gasping cool air.
If before, Lin Yun had only obtained that early-stage twelfth level robot because the Golden Beast had killed that mid-stage eleventh level Meng Sha, it wasn't much of a surprise.
But now, the Golden Beast had easily slain Apicino, who had power comparable to the early stage of the twelfth level Cultivator, it was a shocking matter that Lin Yun obtained another early-stage twelfth level robot.
"Apicino is actually dead!"
"Apicino's strength was so terrifying!"
"Super Star Beast... is this what a Super Star Beast looks like?"
Some masters of the Cosmic Trading System were shocked.
"Fortunately, I didn't make a move just now. This Lin Yun... No wonder he dared to display so much wealth at that gathering. Compared to his strength, the wealth he displayed isn't much at all. Before, I even thought that he was a fool. Now I know, I was the fool..." a Cosmic Trading System master with twelfth level combat power sighed with relief.
He only had early-stage twelfth-level combat power. His overall strength was even weaker than Apicino's. If he had made a move just now, he would now be sharing Apicino's fate.
There were many other Cosmic Trading System masters sharing his relief.
Among them were those of equal strength and those of only the eleventh level or even below.
All of them were extremely grateful.
Such was fate. Even with the same mind, the outcome could be different based on the timing of one's action.
...
"When the master of the Cosmic Trading System dies, the main body of the Cosmic Trading System still exists, but it loses the trading function, leaving only the ordinary spatial ability..." Lin Yun played with the two objects in his hand that emitted a faint white light and were about the size of a fingertip, he said thoughtfully.
Though he had obtained the Cosmic Trading System a long time ago, this was the first time he had seen the main body of the Cosmic Trading System.
With the deaths of Meng Sha and Apicino, in addition to the two early-stage twelfth level robots and six peak eleventh level robots, the greatest gain was these two main bodies of the Cosmic Trading System.
The tone in his voice suggested a sense of regret.
Despite having learned this outcome on the Cosmic Trading System, he still harbored a shred of hope.
What if the fallen masters of the Cosmic Trading System had damaged the main body of the Cosmic Trading System, causing it to lose its trading function?
Unfortunately, the truth was just as he had thought.
If the main body of the Cosmic Trading System could still recognize a new master and function normally after the death of its master, that would have been incredible.
He could have given these two Cosmic Trading Systems to those around him.
"If it can't, it can't. Now, let's see what's inside..."
Soon, Lin Yun stopped dwelling on the matter, and his Mental Strength probed into the two spatial objects.
It had to be said, the space inside the spatial objects created by the main body of the Cosmic Trading System was quite large. Simply on the basis of their large spatial capacity, these two items wouldn't be cheap.
"Eleventh Level robots, a total of... thirty-seven! Plus Spirit Crystals, some warships, weapons, all sorts of rare treasures and herbs!"
Lin Yun's eyes lit up.
While scanning these items, he had the Cosmic Trading System appraise them.
Soon, the Cosmic Trading System gave a result. In addition to about eight trillion Spirit Crystals in cash, the value of the other items on the Cosmic Trading System was roughly around sixteen trillion!
However, Lin Yun saw that the value of many rare treasures and herbs had been underestimated. If they were properly appraised, the total value of those items would be around thirty trillion Spirit Crystals or close to it!
Plus the eight trillion Spirit Crystals in cash...
Having already obtained two early-stage twelfth level robots and gained so many assets, it was indeed a huge income!
Lin Yun smiled faintly.
In such a short period of time, he was able to gain so much, how could he not be happy?
In no time, after spending ten trillion Spirit Crystals, the two early-stage twelfth level robots and six peak eleventh level robots that he had repaired on the Cosmic Trading System had returned.
As such, among their group, in addition to Little Gold and his two super combat powers.
Among the robots, there were a total of two early-stage twelfth level robots and thirteen peak eleventh level robots.
The number of eleventh level robots had already exceeded a hundred.
This was an extremely powerful force.
Lin Yun looked up at the starry sky, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
By now, his strength was formidable, not only on Earth but throughout the entire universe, right?
"Indeed, because the administrators of the two Cosmic Trading Systems attacked me first, the Cosmic Trading System officials didn't punish me..."
Lin Yun glanced at the information answered by the Cosmic Trading System officials and thought to himself.
This was great.
Where to next?
Originally, Lin Yun had planned to leave this place, find somewhere to settle in first, check for any chance to earn Spirit Crystals, wait to get stronger, and then set off to the higher Civilization Star Domains.
The energy distribution throughout this universe was regular.
Just like the Big Bang theory once proposed on Earth.
An original point exploded into a universe, but this explosion was still ongoing; the universe was still expanding rapidly.
At the very core of the universe, the concentration of energies was at its highest. Some advanced civilizations, even the super civilizations, chose to reside there due to certain special isolation zones. These areas marked different Civilization Star Domains.
Level seven Civilization Star Domain, level eight Civilization Star Domain, level nine Civilization Star Domain...
There were exceptions, but very few.
Now, the Star Domain where Lin Yun and his people were located was considered a level seven Civilization Star Domain.
Nanweng resided in a level nine Civilization Star Domain. Lin Yun needed to head over there to retrieve the Blood Sword.
However, he didn't need to rush now.
Apicino, the organizer of the Cosmic Trading System users' meet-up, had been annihilated by him. Did he still need to go?
Sigh--
Lin Yun turned around, and their battleship headed back towards the meeting location.
"Who would have thought that Apicino, who seemed so upright on the surface, would be such a person under the mask!"
"Exactly, pretending to be a 'saint', always harping on principles, he's actually just like those ostensibly upright officials back on Earth!"
"Well, seemingly upright but actually corrupt... didn't we have enough of such cases back on Earth?"
Beside Lin Yun, Zhao Gang and others were discussing and shaking their heads.
At first, they didn't resent Apicino much when he sent them away from the meeting. But now, they utterly despised him. Those who put on a pretense were the most hated.
"Can't there exist an ideal environment?" someone expressed.
"Every man for himself is the basic nature of all living beings, not just humans. An ideal environment...isn't nonexistent, but is hard to come by, hard to sustain," Lin Yun slowly commented as he looked out at the starry sky and listened to the people's discussions.
There's nothing new to him after all he'd seen and experienced.
"Perhaps, if we hadn't experienced the unexpected back on Earth, we might have been able to..." someone began but didn't finish.
"Earth..."
Everyone fell silent.
Earth was their home. At that time, under Lin Yun's leadership, they had planned to build a perfect society on Earth.
However, the unexpected intrusions of the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm powers led to a mess on Earth when they had to leave.
They had no idea how it was doing now.
"Earth..."
A glimmer flickered in Lin Yun's eyes as he whispered softy.
Originally, they had planned to go back.
With their current strength, they were capable enough to handle affairs on Earth.
But then the unexpected encounter with Nanweng resulted in Little White and Little Blue being taken away. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
"Once I go to the level nine Civilization Star Domain and bring back Little White and Little Blue, we can return..."
Lin Yun murmured silently.
Even though Earth seemed like a speck of dust compared to the vast universe, with quite an ordinary environment,
the significance of home was special.
