Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Great!" Xiang Bei exclaimed excitedly. Just moments ago, he was penniless, but now he possessed tens of millions of weapons and ores.

As long as he sells it, he won't have to worry about funds for a short period of time.

Xiang Bei then searched the metal box that had previously blocked the hatch.

"A combination lock box made of C-grade alloy, the box alone costs tens of thousands of Black Dragon Coins! What's inside this box!" Xiang Bei's eyes burned with desire, but he couldn't open it.

"Hmm, a C-grade metal cutter, priced at 20 Black Dragon Coins. Wow... that's a bit expensive!"

A C-grade metal cutter is not a weapon; it is a tool specifically designed for workers to cut C-grade metal. It provides no combat bonuses, which is why it is much cheaper. However, it is still an astronomical sum for ordinary people.

But surely a suitcase worth 100,000 yuan wouldn't contain less than 200,000 yuan worth of stuff?

Of course, now is not the time. After exiting the virtual universe and enjoying the local delicacies of Judong Star, Xiang Bei went directly to Judong Star's most famous treasure shop.

Although it's called a shop, it's actually a skyscraper that covers an area the size of several football fields.

Jiuzhenlou

Xiang Bei had never heard of this name before, but it was said that this store was quite famous throughout the entire Silver Blue Empire.

Xiang Bei decided to go to this shop after reading "Ju Dong Jian Lu".

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Inside Jiuzhenlou, a waiter quickly greeted Xiang Bei with a smile as he stepped into the building.

"I want to sell a telekinetic weapon and a second-tier primal force weapon," Xiang Bei said to the waiter.

"Psychic weapon, second-tier primal force weapon." The waiter's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ushered Xiang Bei into the private room of Jiuzhenlou with a big smile.

Although Jiuzhenlou is famous throughout the Silver Blue Empire, it mainly sells first-tier Force weapons. Those who can afford second-tier Force weapons are considered big customers. In the entire Judong City, only a few second-tier Force weapons are sold throughout the year.

As for psychic weapons, it naturally depends on their grade. Many psychic masters can only afford low-grade and mid-grade psychic weapons, since things that cost tens of millions of Black Dragon Coins are not something that just anyone can afford.

According to the hierarchy of the Swallowed Star world, planetary-level beings are considered ordinary civilians, while only constant-level warriors can be considered to have some strength and can serve as guards or bodyguards for some large families.

Therefore, apart from members of some large families and ordinary star-level powerhouses, not everyone can afford a second-tier weapon.

Many powerful beings at the Eternal Star level need to save up for a long time before they can purchase a Tier 2 weapon.

Therefore, generally speaking, anyone who can buy and sell Tier 2 weapons on Torch East Star is a major customer.

Soon after, a manager from Jiuzhenlou came to receive Xiang Bei, who was warmly received by the envoy.

"Hello sir, what kind of weapon would you like to sell?" The manager of Jiuzhenlou also had the same sunny smile.

Regardless, as long as he can complete a transaction for a second-tier weapon, the commission alone would be enough for him to earn several months' salary.

If they hadn't received professional training, the smile on his face would have been obsequious.

"These are the two items." Xiang Bei ignored the manager's thoughts and directly took out the Force Uniform and his silver-white metal ball.

"This is a second-tier, mid-grade Force weapon, the Krotan 7-series battle axe. According to the Nine Treasures Pavilion's normal buyback price, it is 150 billion silver blue coins."

There is also the Tier 1 superior-grade psychic weapon, Snow Heart Stone, which is worth 18 billion silver blue coins at the Nine Treasures Pavilion.

"Sir, I can see that your two weapons are in excellent condition, but they seem to be quite old. If Nine Treasures Pavilion were to buy them back, the Krotan 7-series Battle Axe would only fetch 120 billion silver-blue coins, and the Snowheart Stone, though more precious, would only be worth 170 billion silver-blue coins. Would you be willing to accept this?"

When the manager of Jiuzhenlou saw the two weapons that Xiang Bei took out, his face lit up with even greater surprise, but he still gave a very professional quote.

"No rush, I also have some Tier 1 Force weapons. Please appraise them for me as well." Xiang Bei didn't agree immediately, but instead took out the remaining Force weapons and said.

"Of course, no problem." The manager immediately nodded in agreement. Even a small mosquito is still meat, let alone such a big client. How could he not serve them well?

As he spoke, the manager quickly looked down at the Force weapons that Xiang Bei had taken out. However, this time he was clearly disappointed. These weapons were obviously just ordinary weapons, and although they were well preserved, they had been stored for too long, and some of their effects were no longer as good as before.

"Sir, these weapons of yours have been stored for too long, and their buyback price might be quite high. If you are willing, we are willing to purchase them for 38 billion silver blue coins. What do you think?"

After the manager finished his appraisal, he quickly spoke up. He was actually quite surprised, as these weapons all bore obvious signs of time, as if they had been stored in a collection room for a long time.

However, those ordinary weapons were clearly not worth collecting, which made him wonder if this person had found the remains of some expedition team.

However, Jiuzhenlou didn't care where the other party got the item from, as long as the business was done.

In order to close the deal, the manager quickly offered a price.

"320 billion, but I want to pay in Black Dragon Coins." Xiang Bei suppressed his joy and said calmly.

"Sir, this..." The manager's expression changed, and he was about to speak, but Xiang Bei stopped him directly.

"Don't think I don't know. The price of Snow Heart Stone is 1800 million Black Dragon Coins! 1800 million Black Dragon Coins is not the same as 180 billion Silver Blue Coins." Xiang Bei's expression turned slightly serious as he spoke in a deep voice.

"If you can't make up your mind, go and ask someone who can. Of course, if you disagree, I can leave. There are other companies in Judong Star besides Jiuzhenlou that deal in weapons. I believe Judong Group and the Mercury Alliance would be very willing to acquire these weapons," Xiang Bei continued.

"This... sir, please wait a moment." The manager looked embarrassed, apologized to Xiang Bei, and quickly left the private room.

He naturally has the right to trade using silver and blue coins, and he would receive a good commission after a successful transaction. However, trading with black dragon coins is beyond his authority.

After all, Black Dragon Coins are quite valuable in the Silver Blue Empire.

However, the deal was eventually reached, although the price was reduced to 310 billion.

Of the 30 billion, 30 billion was converted to Black Dragon Coins for transactions, which is equivalent to 30 million Black Dragon Coins. The remaining 1 billion was still converted to Silver Blue Coins, which can be considered as leaving Xiang Bei some pocket money.
