Chapter 633: Saiyan Market Research, Private Transactions Have Discounts

Of course, setting up a stall isn't to make money; after all, how much money could this earn?

The material list for optimizing the power engine on Nappa Star isn't something that can be satisfied just by earning an individual's money.

Why set up a stall again then?

This is because Broly wants to understand the value of the things he has in his possession on Leka Star.

Although using a stall to do market research is somewhat unprofessional, it can still serve as a reference.

"Friend, what are you selling?"

Broly, who clearly looked like an alien, had just set up his stall when some Laika and Boman stopped at the stall; one Laika reached out and touched the Baya Fruit, which stood half a person tall, and asked the stall owner Broly with some curiosity.

Because the universe has all kinds of species, this person also didn't treat him with the attitude for a child just because Broly looked like a kid.

It is worth mentioning that the Saiyans maintain a child form before adulthood for a very important reason: to lower the vigilance of the indigenous residents on the planets prepared for conquest before the Saiyan children fully grow up.

(This is the explanation from Akira Toriyama's other Dragon Ball crossover manga "Galactic Patrolman Gaku" by Gaku regarding the reason Saiyans maintain a child form before adulthood.)

"The thing you're touching is called a Baya Fruit; it's a fruit produced by a giant monster called the Bay Beast on my planet Nappa Star."

Broly introduced.

"Bay Beast?" The Laika frowned; he confirmed he had never heard of this monster's name and inquired curiously: "What kind of monster is that, what does it look like?"

"Uh..."

Broly pondered for a moment, then used flame-colored magic to change the color of his Ki, controlling Ki in the air to construct a three-dimensional image of the Bay Beast.

"It looks roughly like this, but in terms of actual size, it's many times larger than this, basically as tall as that building over there."

Broly raised his hand and pointed into the distance at a tech-filled metal building, adding.

"No wonder this fruit is so big!"

The people stopped at the stall looked at the distant building in amazement; a giant monster of this size was something they generally only saw in cosmic monster magazines.

"Are you a Spiritualist?"

Someone also felt curious about Broly's method of constructing images with Ki and asked about his profession.

In this universe, there aren't only Martial Artists; all kinds of strange professions exist too.

They might all use Ki, but because the usage of Ki isn't quite the same, they are given different names.

Hmm, there are also cases where multiple different names refer to the same profession.

"I'm just a Fist Master Swordsman who knows a bit of magic, not some Spiritualist."

Broly shook his head.

"Then how do you sell this?"

The Laika touching the fruit asked about the price.

"What price are you willing to give?"

Broly didn't know the value, which is why he came to set up a stall, kicking the ball back.

"If you're sincere, I'll sell."

He added another sentence.

"100,000 Laika Currency, how about that?"

The Laika hesitated for a moment, then tried offering a price.

In the universe, interstellar trade is a very profitable industry; originally some things very cheap at their place of origin might be sold for a sky-high price once transported to other planets.

But the producer of this red giant fruit before him looked like a very dangerous giant monster that was not to be trifled with; the difficulty of obtaining this fruit was imaginable.

But he wasn't very wealthy either; spending a month or two's salary to buy a giant monster's fruit for a taste was fine, but any more and he would feel the pinch.

Broly: "..."

One Bay Beast Fruit could sell for 100k Laika Currency; then the over ten thousand Bay Beast Fruits he brought here in his space, wouldn't that easily sell for 1 billion Laika Currency?

Just as he was a bit stunned, the Laika touching the fruit before him changed complexion, and said in a calm voice: "I'll add 20k at most; if that's still not enough, I can only give up."

Hearing this, Broly looked at the green-skinned man before the stall with somewhat expectant eyes, but discovering this person didn't continue raising the price and showed a regretful expression preparing to leave, he hurriedly said: "Alright, you're very sincere, I'll sell the Bay Beast Fruit to you at a discount then."

One hand pays money, one hand delivers goods.

Just as the other party was preparing to leave holding the fruit, Broly called out to them again: "This customer, I also have clothes woven from Bay Beast fur here, do you want to take a look?"

Speaking, the boy picked up the green Bay Beast Fur Clothes and started promoting.

Although Broly had never set up a stall, he had helped out at Wiz's Magic Tool Shop before.

Now receiving customers, it was actually quite practiced.

"Huh..."

The Laika who was promoted the Bay Beast Suit stopped his steps; he was actually a giant monster enthusiast, and he subscribed to every annual issue of the Cosmic Giant Monster Magazine.

"How much do you sell this for?"

After hesitating for a while, this person asked the price.

Broly thought for a bit, then gave a quote of 240,000 Laika Currency.

Of course, he quoted with a tone of lowering the price.

"As my first customer, this piece of clothing sells to you for 240,000 Laika Currency."

Broly looked seriously at the other party; as long as the other party showed any intention to leave, he was willing to give a discount.

"Deal, I'll buy it."

However, the Laika customer before him just struggled in place for a moment, then didn't haggle and nodded, paying money to buy the clothes.

"Ah, don't rush to leave, I also have Spider Leg Meat from the Vampa Spider, a monster from the same planet as the Bay Beast; its meat is fresh, sweet and delicious..."

Broly used Ki to construct an image of the Vampa Spider again, continuing to promote new goods.

"Don't want it, really don't want it, if I buy more my household finances will go into deficit."

The Laika fled in a panic; Broly watched the other's departing figure, and the message 【Medium Login, More Gold Coins】 emerged in his consciousness, leaving him somewhat regretful.

"Do you still have those monster clothes that were bought?"

And just after the first customer fled in panic, another person stepped forward to inquire.

The other party was neither a Laika nor a Boman, but an unknown alien with quite a few metal structures on his body, who seemed very interested in the Bay Beast Suit that had been bought.

"Yes."

Broly nodded, reached out, and from the Crystal Palace Space took out a set of green clothes and a red fruit, replenishing the empty spots on the stall.

"Space Device?"

The metal man who looked somewhat like an Ex-Machina felt surprise at this, and took the opportunity to ask.

"Will you sell the Space Device?"

"Can't sell it, this is an innate ability I was born with, not the effect of equipment or a tool."

Broly explained.

According to the Crystal Palace, the other party indeed existed from the time of his own birth.

It's just that his childhood self didn't know about this, and the Crystal Palace only spoke up after the Time-Space Energy was full.

"So it's an innate superpower..."

The man whose right half of the face and body were metal structures showed some disappointment, and turned to use his right electronic eye to look at the replenished Bay Beast Suit.

"The strength of this clothing looks sufficient, can I actually test its strength?"

Hearing this, Broly looked at this person, his eyes somewhat puzzled.

Bay Beast wool woven clothing has sufficient strength?

Then what about those Bay Beast clothes he wore out in his childhood?

Do they count as inferior products among Bay Beast wool woven clothing?

"It's still very brittle."

Broly gave a reminder.

"Don't worry, if I break your commodity, I'll buy it."

The metal man said somewhat helplessly.

"Then please go ahead."

Broly immediately handed the Bay Beast Suit to the customer before him.

Just saw the other party, from the back of his own metal arm's hand, deduct a metal stick-like thing.

And with a humming sound, an Energy Sword appeared in the other party's hand.

【Jedi?】

This information instantly surfaced in Broly's mind, just saw the other party slash the Energy Sword at the Bay Beast Suit.

The Bay Beast Suit wasn't pierced, but as the light sword pressed against it over time, the green hairs began to curl.

Broly could tell, being pierced was only a matter of time, he did say Bay Beast wool woven clothing is very brittle.

"Excellent material, if it can be transported to a planet with combat suit R&D technology, your thing can definitely sell for a good price."

The metal man didn't actually pierce the Bay Beast Suit, his electronic eye flashing red light, after collecting enough data, he put away the Energy Sword and gave an evaluation.

"I'm Ru Ka, a Biga Star Person, currently temporarily resting on this planet, I don't have much Laika Currency exchanged, but I can trade with you using Galactic Federation Coin, name a price."

Galactic Federation Coin exchanging for Laika Currency doesn't need a handling fee, but Laika Currency exchanging for Galactic Federation Coin requires a 10% handling fee and is also limited.

So, unless they're interstellar travelers long-term settled on Laika Star, outsiders coming here won't exchange too much local currency.

The more you exchange, the more you lose.

"I need some special metals, Void Gold, Silver Steel, High Entropy Alloy..."

Broly, as if listing dish names, listed the metal materials needed for the Planet Optimization Spaceship.

"If you have these things, you can directly take them to trade with me."

And the reason he listed materials was because he didn't know the specific value of Galactic Federation Coin.

After all, he didn't come to this planet through regular channels.

So, he's unclear on the exchange ratio between Laika Currency and Galactic Federation Coin.

"These are all materials related to spaceships, is your spaceship broken?"

The Biga Star Person recognized them, and asked somewhat curiously.

"My spaceship isn't broken, just preparing to upgrade the power system, that's why I need these materials."

Broly explained a sentence.

"I see."

The Biga Star Person didn't pursue asking further, put away the Energy Sword, pressed the sword hilt back onto the metal hand back, raised his hand to the upper arm, the metal upper arm unfolded, a water-colored metal block emerged.

This person took it in hand, handed it over and said: "This is my mecha's spare Void Gold, one kilogram under Universe (Earth) standard gravity, I'll use this to exchange with you."

"One for one?"

Broly asked, just saw the expressionless Biga Star Person's mouth corner twitch, withdraw his hand seemingly preparing to take back the water-colored metal in his hand.

"Just a joke, it's just that I might not be able to make change."

This Void Gold thing is very expensive, Broly checked Laika Star's selling price, under Universe (Earth) standard gravity one kilogram sells for about ten million Laika Currency, and Nappa Star needs one ton of just Void Gold, converting that, needs hundreds of billions.

"If you have sufficient quantity of this quality monster clothing, give me 29 pieces."

"Won't you lose out?"

Broly sold to the previous customer for 240k Laika Currency, 29 pieces roughly 7 million Laika Currency, yet the other party gave water-colored metal worth ten million Laika Currency.

After Broly asked, he saw the metal man's only remaining flesh eye look over with a somewhat strange expression, he was silent for a moment, then asked: "Is there a problem with my statement?"

"You said the first customer bought it cheap."

Broly understood, this is the evaluation price of the Bay Beast Suit by this metal man before him who resembles an Ex-Machina.

"So, 29 pieces of this clothing are worth 10 million Laika Currency?"

Broly consulted.

"Not that high. The price of one kilogram of Void Gold on this planet is 80 million Laika Currency; if using Galactic Federation Coin, it can be discounted by about 4-5 million Laika Currency."

The metal man shook his head.

"I'll round it up for you, give you 30 pieces of Bay Beast Suits. This Biga Star big brother, you tell me how to buy Void Gold at this price."

Broly said enthusiastically.

Luka: "..."

The small-statured stall owner before his eyes looked somewhat like a rookie; was the other party really here to buy cheap spaceship materials on Laika Star?

"You know the Galactic Federation's immigration subsidy policy, right?"

"Hearsay."

"Good then. Among the supplies subsidized by the Galactic Federation, not every type is needed by immigrant planets. Like this Laika Star beneath our feet, it doesn't really self-develop the interstellar aviation industry.

So, the material supplies for the interstellar aviation industry that the Galactic Federation subsidizes and supports are the surplus portion. People here often sell these raw materials at prices one or two tenths below the market price."

"But the price I queried is higher than what you said. For example, Void Gold, I found it's 10 million Laika Currency per cosmic standard kilogram..."

Broly was somewhat confused.

"If you buy publicly, funds go public, naturally expensive. But if you buy privately, funds go private, naturally cheap. You should be someone who just set out into the universe not long ago, right?"

Luka asked.

"Mm."

Broly nodded; Nappa Star had indeed just set sail not long ago.

"Young man, some transactions need to be discussed privately."

The surrounding Laika and Boman: "..."

Can we locals listen to this kind of private transaction inside information?

Truly worthy of Alien Grandpa, discussing such a super-high-sensitivity topic openly on the street!

"Many thanks, learned a lot."

Broly sincerely thanked, took out 30 pieces of Bay Beast Suits from the Crystal Palace, and also gifted a Bay Beast Fruit to the other party.

"Right, are you interested in Vampa Spider Legs?"

But before the other party was about to leave, Broly still couldn't help recommending other goods.

"Material strength is low, I'm not interested."

Luka's Electronic Eye scanned the Vampa Spider's spider legs and directly shook his head and refused; he was a Material Strength Faction member after all.

"Then how about these Asura Kingdom Gold Coins from another world?"

Broly pinched up a gold coin and asked.

"Ordinary gold, not much value to me."

"Then these rare gems?"

Broly asked again.

"Some pretty colored stones, have certain appreciation value, but obviously, you're selling on the wrong planet."

Luka gestured for him to look at the surrounding Laika and Boman.

Broly subconsciously looked, and suddenly discovered that not a single person here was wearing gold or jewels.

Obviously, gold coins and jewelry and such things are low-value items on Laika Star.

The Biga Star person left; before Broly's stall, some people came successively, and some left.

In the end, he only sold 5 more pieces of Bay Beast Suits, and a bag of Asura Kingdom Gold Coins.

And the purchaser of the Asura Kingdom Gold Coins only settled the bill for that bag of gold coins for the sake of the otherworldly kingdom story behind it.

Said it possessed certain collectible value, paid Broly 500,000 Laika Currency.

As for Bay Beast Fruit, besides the first customer buying one fruit, and himself giving one fruit to someone else, no one wanted the rest.

What, you ask about Vampa Spider Legs?

The one on the stall, no one inquired about it.

After half a day of stall-keeping, Broly's total harvest was 1.7 million+ Laika Currency, and one kilogram of Void Gold.

Of course, the private transaction information obtained from the Biga Star person was the biggest harvest of this stall-keeping.
