Chapter 273 Tracking (6k)_3
In an ideal situation, she will be able to create her first bottle of Seventh Rank potion next week!
"Seventh Rank potion? You want to...!"
The appraiser immediately started to breathe heavily.
Originally, he was worried that Fan Mao's potions and gene modification business couldn't penetrate the Seventh Rank market and hence were unstable.
If she can produce a Seventh Rank potion now, things will truly stabilize!
Moreover, it is common knowledge that Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank potions must be concocted by a Seventh Rank alchemist!
This means that Fan Mao is likely about to reach the Seventh Rank, which explains her readiness to deal with Seventh Rank issues if she was preparing for a breakthrough all along.
In this way, doesn't it mean he's effectively aligning early with a future top-tier force in the starry sky?
Others become underlings of a Seventh Rank powerhouse: exerting all efforts, surpassing numerous rivals, finally gaining the favor of a Seventh Rank and passing through countless trials.
He becomes a subordinate of a Seventh Rank powerhouse: aligns early when they are weak, waiting for their rise to Seventh Rank.
This is what is called the art of investment!
In his heart, he already feels fortunate for aligning early and gaining such an advantage, vowing to find an opportunity to fully commit to Fan Mao.
He's very aware that he is not yet one of Fan Mao's direct subordinates, just that the opportunity hasn't arisen.
But for now, the most important thing is to demonstrate his value:
"If that's the case, then maybe I can arrange in advance, directly spreading the news, which will surely provoke those two Seventh Rank alchemists.
With the mass production of Fifth Rank and the soon-to-be Sixth Rank potions, even if Seventh Rank potion is hard to refine, they will worry about you suddenly producing a large quantity.
Unlike the current rash alchemists, these two are true powerhouses and have good relationships with many other strong figures; it will definitely cause major trouble then.
I plan to secretly contact those powerhouse figures who have poor relations with these two alchemists, win over some of them..."
The appraiser detailed his thoughts, and this enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend plan received high agreement from Bai Yi, who approved its implementation.
Just as the auction ended, Bai Yi hurried to make the final transactions and collect the machinery just auctioned.
The appraiser then realized he had missed yet another chance to fully pledge devotion to Bai Yi and could only sigh and continue with his tasks.
The plan seemed simple, but its implementation requires significant arrangements and preparations...
Both left separately, while in another room at the auction, a giant with exposed, technologically intricate machinery stood straight, facing a window looking out over the auction scene.
Thanks to the unique space expansion capabilities of the transfer zone, even someone of his size could easily squeeze in.
The room's door opened, and a voice immediately reported:
"Sir, the item has been handed over, and indeed it was purchased by the person you mentioned."
"Very well, you know the rules."
"Of course!"
Upon receiving this news, the giant was very pleased and promptly left without lingering.
His conspicuous height attracted much attention along the way, revealing his identity.
The giant graciously accepted this adulation until entering the Star Port, boarding his vehicle, and completely leaving the transfer area before activating a communication line.
"Boss, everything's ready, that Fan Mao has bought the machinery.
Xike and the others can now prepare, and no matter which machine is activated, I can monitor it and calculate the coordinates.
Right, I'll first set up the monitoring devices, send data back at first instance."
Expressionless, he ended the communication as if completing an ordinary task.
Though the rules of Paradise strictly limit tracking devices, always capable of detection, there's still a way around for them.
Even if the conditions are stringent, it is not impossible.
While it's forbidden to install tracking devices directly, the intrinsic functions of the machinery can't justifiably be claimed as risk-inducing.
Like a communicator glowing at night might reveal location, but it can't be claimed as a tracking device.
This time he employed such a piece of machinery, previously worrying whether Fan Mao might find it uninteresting, but was lucky that Fan Mao seemed extravagant, spending quite a sum.
There was no need to employ other, riskier, or more troublesome means to transfer machinery into Fan Mao's hands...
"Is the boss planning to capture to use as leverage?
Fan Mao might not be highly valuable to us, but in mere profit terms, it's not bad.
Though if it's indeed valuable to us, it wouldn't just be capture but cooperation...
Tsk tsk, blame your current lack of strength..."
Controlling the vehicle, the giant promptly departed, remembering that even though the machinery has no problems, the monitoring system still needs set up, lest missing out later would be disastrous...

World Number 9805
With the auctioned item in hand, Bai Yi eagerly took it back, returned to the shop for a brief supplement of injections, then returned to the territory with the artifact.
Though robbery wasn't likely, the sooner he brought it back, the sooner it could be researched.
Particularly the Antimatter Reactor needed quick installation on the Star Ring; although the blueprints already considered redundant adaptability for the energy core, different energy sources still required some degree of modification.
