But what about the technology and materials they would use to build?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, to keep it safe, Nash planned to use this place only as an external headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the sake of the Neon Star Alliance’s image, a small plot of land would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after touring the headquarters with Marcellin, they began to talk about the opening of their storefronts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your storefronts should be ready. What do you plan to sell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you’ll see. It might even surprise you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Then I look forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the manager of the whole public trading zone, Marcellin didn’t think anything could surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, given Nash’s standing, he still planned to attend their opening to show support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after some preparation, the two parted as Nash began talking to his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their storefronts around the Azure Public Trading Zone would open in a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash had to finalize inventory, store management, staffing, and other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had to check for any discrepancies they might have missed and encourage his subordinates, giving them a boost of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing a Neon Battleship as a center display in each shop, he quickly awaited the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a week of work, the storefronts around the Azure Public Trading Zone opened simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Marcellin’s help and some funding, the opening was advertised across the Azure Public Trading Zone for a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone was used to aggressive advertising, a few remained curious and visited the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was Jakari. Having nothing to do, he walked to the nearest storefront he could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neon Star Tower... A General Store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the unfamiliar brand, his interest waned a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a regular around the public trading zone, he was familiar with the top teams in the Azure Heaven Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not having heard of Neon Star Tower, he assumed they were some unknown team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to the Neon Star Tower, gentlemen. Please browse freely and tell me what you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Greeted so enthusiastically, Jakari decided to take a good look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he scanned the room, something quickly caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a Tier 6 battleship, but on a smaller scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stretching over a few kilometers, it occupied almost an entire floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the runic engraving covering most of its body, Jakari suddenly thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this battleship a dark technology?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guessed right, sir. This is the flagship product of our store, the Neon Battleship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is it? What are the specifications?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can get this tier 6 Neon Battleship for the low price of just ten billion void source crystals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten billion void source crystals? So cheap?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although an ordinary tier 6 battleship costs about a hundred million void source crystals, it was incomparable to a dark-technology battleship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was a perpetual tool that mowed the battlefield without pause or energy consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was a thick layer of dark energy, it could go on until destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a low-level team like his, it was practically a miracle that could save money and fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even used as mere transportation, it could save a massive amount of money in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is as real as it gets. However, we only offer presales for now. Depending on quantity, you can get them in a few months to a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Presale? How much is the down payment?\" Jakari frowned, thinking it was a scam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was the Azure Public Trading Zone regulated by orders and laws, scams were still possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You only need to pay a down payment of 30%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This-so much?! How can we ensure you will deliver? What if it takes dozens of years for the item to arrive?\" Jakari asked angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if discovering a treasure only to find a trap, Jakari felt his heart burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can be written into the contract. The longest it would take is three years; if not, you can get your money back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three years? That’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years was not too long. If he could really have a dark-technology battleship for such a low price, he was willing to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do we have a deal? How many do you want to order, sir?\" the clerk asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want ten. Is that all right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s perfectly fine. However, I suggest you order a few more. Otherwise, you will have to wait a long time later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still wary, Jakari only wanted ten for a trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to confirm the order, he heard another customer order a thousand in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand! That’s ten trillion void source crystals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would be so rich?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the person, shock appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you! How did you get so much money?\" Jakari asked, seeing that it was their rival team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, you are just ignorant of the goods.\" Fearing a longer wait, Hendrix quickly signed the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, if you’d like you can test the ship’s performance to decide further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, give me 1,000 Neon Battleships!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their enemy could order so much, he couldn’t fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling the leaders of his team, he asked them to deliver the money to the store.\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-06T08:03:28.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","c887a03450fbbbf3a36bcdc7ceb646a50911e891ab8f2a88e6d815ad8f055451","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-641","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-639",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
