Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 221: Sky-High-Price Spaceship
Inside the spaceship, Jiang Ye brought North Wu to the core cabin.

As soon as North Wu stepped in, his attention was attracted by those complex and sophisticated instruments. His eyes instantly became focused, and his originally casual attitude also restrained a little.

"These instruments..." Noth Witch muttered to himself, reaching out to touch one of them, with a look of amazement on his face.

"This is a mechanical spaceship, and it is a very prestigious mechanical spaceship. It is made of G-grade and F-grade metals. The craftsmanship is so exquisite and the energy program is so complicated that I have never seen it before."

North Wu looked at the decorations and styles inside the spaceship and made his judgment. When he saw the G-level metal puppet for the first time, he nodded and praised, "G-level metal puppet, the metal itself is worth 2 million Hunyuan units."

"These are 186 million mechanical puppets, 86 of which are damaged, and 1 million are intact. This is a damaged sample, and this is an intact sample."

"These are the most precious G-level metal instruments. They can be deployed with extremely strong weapons, and can even trap some of the king-level strongmen."

North Witch walked around the instrument several times, carefully observing every detail. "Hiss, what a sophisticated manufacturing method! These metals alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention the technological content contained in them."

Jiang Ye smiled and said nothing.

……

After watching it, North Witch was already shocked, because even some of the invincible kings had assets worth hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units.

It is also rare to say that the transaction amount can reach hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units in one transaction.

"Your Highness, the mechanical puppets were only slightly damaged, only their energy cores were cracked and unable to operate. The important parts are fine and can be repaired. 186 million mechanical puppets are considered top-grade F9 even among the mechanical race, and they probably cost several thousand Hunyuan units. If we humans were to manufacture them, the manufacturing cost would be higher than that of the mechanical race... On average, each one would cost about 5 Hunyuan units, so I can offer you 93 billion Hunyuan units."

"of course."

"The most expensive ones are these instruments. These instruments...are made of expensive materials, and most importantly, they use a lot of technology. This is already considered the top technology of the mechanical race. I'm afraid it must have been made by a Universe Venerable-level expert who spent a lot of effort. It would cost a lot to invite a Universe Venerable-level mechanical master... Unfortunately, this is only a part of it. For this batch of instruments...I can give you a price of 210 billion Hunyuan units."

"Counting the other miscellaneous items in the spacecraft, I can also increase the price as appropriate to make it an even number. I will give you a quote of 310 billion Hunyuan units."

The North Witch had a smile on his face and his tone revealed a hint of calmness, as if he thought the price was already very generous.

After hearing this, Jiang Ye still maintained a calm smile on his face.

He realized that the North Witch had not realized the value of the unknown metals wrapped under the hull of the spacecraft, which was a huge hidden fortune.

Jiang Ye's mind turned, and with a polite smile on his face, he said, "Manager North Wu, the price you offer is indeed very sincere, but I still have a favor to ask. I have always felt that the metal wrapped around the outer shell of this spacecraft is very strange. I wonder if you could use the high-end detection equipment of Virtual Universe Company to help detect it?"

North Wu was slightly stunned. He had indeed not paid attention to the interior of the spaceship before. He just thought that the entire spaceship was made of F9-level Yanyu Stone Mother.

However, after Jiang Ye's reminder, North Wu first narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the core module inside the spacecraft with his naked eyes.

He paced around the spaceship, not missing any corner, sometimes moving closer, sometimes taking a few steps back, trying to find out the special features of this metal from its appearance. However, apart from feeling that the texture seemed to be finer than the common F9-grade Yanyu Stone Mother, he gained nothing else.

Then, he took out a small but technological instrument from his space ring.

The instrument's surface flashed with blue light, and the probe on the top was aimed at the outer shell of the spacecraft. As the instrument started up, it emitted a slight buzzing sound, and a series of scanning beams that were almost invisible to the naked eye shot out from the probe, covering the outer shell of the spacecraft.

North Wu stared at the data that kept jumping on the instrument, and his brows gradually frowned. His originally confident and calm face now showed a trace of doubt. The feedback data of this metal was very strange, and it was different from any substance he had detected before.

“This…how could this happen!?”

North Witch's face was full of confusion. He tapped quickly on the instrument's operating panel, trying to calibrate the data, but the garbled characters on the screen were still flashing.

He looked up at Jiang Ye, his eyes full of shock and confusion: "Your Highness, the data feedback from this metal is too abnormal. I have never seen this kind of metal before."

Jiang Ye had expected this in his heart, but he still pretended to be curious: "Then, Director Yinos Wu, can the value of this metal be estimated?"

North Wu pondered for a moment, and the doubt on his face was gradually replaced by a firm look: "Your Highness, although this metal is very strange, judging from its texture and touch, it should be able to meet the standards of G-grade metal. If calculated according to G-grade metal, the metal of this entire spaceship is worth about 1800 billion Hunyuan units. In addition, we previously assessed that the internal items of the spaceship are worth 310 billion Hunyuan units. Our company is willing to bid 2110 billion Hunyuan units to purchase the entire spaceship. This is a very reasonable price I have given based on my experience. After all, this is just a preliminary estimate. If you really want to get an accurate price, you still have to go back to the company and use more professional equipment for a detailed inspection."

"Manager North Wu, the price you offer is indeed very sincere, but this is a treasure that I went through great trouble to obtain. It is a matter of great importance, and I need some time to consider it." Jiang Ye responded politely.

"I understand. Your Highness Jiang Ye, please consider it. After all, this is not a small amount of money." North Wu nodded and bowed, with a barely perceptible eagerness flashing in his eyes. He knew very well that if he could make this deal, his performance and status in the company would be further improved.

After the North Witch left, Jiang Ye fell into deep thought.

Jiang Ye stood alone in front of the damaged pyramid spaceship, his fingers gently stroking the metal of the spaceship's shell, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "Even the head of the Virtual Universe Company couldn't figure out the origin of this metal." He murmured in a low voice, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his voice, "It seems that this was at least made by a Universe Venerable-level mechanical master. The background of that mechanical master must be extraordinary."

"Now I have to think about...what channels to use to sell it and how to sell it at a high price." Jiang Ye paced slowly and thought.

"How about going to Hongmeng?"

"The most expensive and rare items among humans are usually traded in the Hong Alliance? Only in the Hong Alliance are there a large number of super-powerful people who can offer high prices for those expensive treasures."

"But with my current status, I guess the best I can do is sell it in Yubaotang."

"Go to the teacher?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Ye subconsciously shook his head. He looked into the distance, "Forget it. I can't always bother the teacher with such trivial matters."

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

A figure suddenly appeared on the screen. He had a shiny bald head and exuded a mysterious and powerful aura. It was none other than the Guiyi Master. His eyes seemed to contain endless stars, shining brightly. When he looked at Jiang Ye, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said with a hearty laugh: "Junior brother, why did you suddenly think of contacting me, your senior brother?"

"Brother." Jiang Ye stood tall and respectful, bowed slightly and said, "I have something to ask for your help." Guiyi Zun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of concern, and waved his hand and said, "Tell me, as long as you can do it, I will never refuse."

"It's like this." Jiang Ye said quickly, "I got some precious spoils on the battlefield outside the domain, a damaged mechanical spaceship. I wanted to sell it to the Virtual Universe Company, but the metal of this spaceship is very special and its specific composition cannot be detected. I only made a preliminary estimate of the price. It is said that if it is calculated as G-grade metal, the price of the whole spaceship is 2110 billion Hunyuan units. But I think this metal must be worth more than this. I would like to ask my senior brother to help me with some advice on how to deal with it so that I can sell it at a high price."

"2110 billion?"

Reverend Guiyi was shocked and stared at his junior brother with wide eyes. "The Virtual Universe Company's acquisition department must have offered the lowest price possible. They even offered 2110 billion? Junior brother, who did you rob?"

"Luck, luck!" Jiang Ye grinned, his face filled with undisguised pride.

At this time, Venerable Guiyi also began to look at the detailed information sent by Jiang Ye.

"Tsk tsk, a master of the mechanical race at the level of the universe master, made a precision special instrument? This thing is valuable." Gui Yilian nodded.
"Well, that's not right. This metal is..." A trace of solemnity flashed across Guiyi's eyes.

Reverend Guiyi calmed down, a serious look appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother, to be honest, the origin of this spaceship is more amazing than you can imagine. Although I am not an expert in material identification, judging from the data fed back by this metal and the structural principle of the instrument, it is very likely that it was made by a mechanical race at the level of the Lord of the Universe! The Lord of the Universe is an existence standing at the top of the universe. Even if they create something casually, its value is inestimable."

"Lord of the Universe?"

Jiang Ye was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of astonishment: "It turns out that it has such a history! No wonder the Virtual Universe Company's database can't find the origin of this metal."

You should know that the mechanical race is the race with the most advanced technology in the entire universe. F-class alloy is created by the mechanical race. For the master of the universe of the mechanical race, they can create a new metal alloy at will.

Venerable Guiyi continued, "Brother, your gains are too amazing. If you rashly trade them, you might get ripped off. How about this! I will buy the spaceship directly. As for the price, I will offer 5000 billion Hunyuan units! This is nearly double the price offered by the Virtual Universe Company. Of course, if you don't trust me, I can help you ask those Venerables who are interested in this kind of machinery."

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

5000 billion Hunyuan units, this is an astronomical figure that is enough to make any king excited, not to mention the favor owed by Venerable Guiyi, which is an intangible but extremely precious wealth.

"Brother, you are too polite." Jiang Ye looked at the projection of the Guiyi Reverend with a firm gaze, bowed and said, "I think it is a good deal for this spaceship to be in your hands. I agree to this deal!"

Upon hearing this, Guiyi Reverend smiled brightly: "Great! You are worthy of being my junior brother, so straightforward! I will arrange for someone to prepare for the handover. It is expected that in three days, 5000 billion Hunyuan units will be fully transferred to your account."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Jiang Ye saluted.

"No, Junior Brother, I should be the one taking advantage of you this time! This metal is very useful to me!" After completing the transaction, Venerable Guiyi smiled happily, and his laughter echoed in the communication.

After chatting for a while, Venerable Guiyi hung up the phone.

"Snapped."

Compared to Chaos City Lord

Jiang Ye and Guiyi have not had contact for a very long time, but Venerable Guiyi is of the same generation as Jiang Ye after all, so Jiang Ye will feel more relaxed in front of Senior Brother Guiyi.

However, when facing the "Chaos City Lord", Jiang Ye felt the invisible pressure.
He was so respectful that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Therefore, Jiang Ye rarely bothered the Lord of Chaos City with some matters.

Unless it’s a big deal, don’t disturb the Lord of Chaos City.

"5000 billion, it's beyond my imagination! The ultimate evolution heart and Yekana's immortal Zerg army are all settled."

Jiang Ye sat at the desk, gently touching the screen, "The money will arrive in three days. In that case, let's study the detector in advance."

"Wow!"

Detailed detector data appeared on the page.

"call."

Jiang Ye kept looking through various messages. Many ultra-high-end detectors could not be seen even by ordinary members of the original secret realm. In fact, although Jiang Ye could see them, he could not afford them with the points he had earned from selling the Locke Divine Water. After all, that was a sky-high price of hundreds of billions of points.

However, Jiang Ye thought that with the enhancement of Qiankun Ding, the detector with billions of points would be enough, but who could have thought that he would encounter a guy with the background of the Lord of the Universe of the Mechanical Clan.
