The Gray Zone is unusually quiet tonight?\" the young man wearing the traditional Eastern Star Domain gray robe voiced his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems a big shot has helped us clear the area in advance. That saves us a bit of trouble,\" his companion guessed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one making this guess was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, wearing a common white trench coat from the Federation market. His wind-and-frost-beaten face still faintly carried an unshakeable look of bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, it was this middle-aged man who first offered the reasonable guess, yet his eyes never stopped scanning the surroundings, trying to spot any hint of discordance on this excessively quiet street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Gu, I'd appreciate it. It's best to be cautious in all things,\" the weathered man nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged man with a weathered face, who appeared older, actually addressed the young man beside him as \"brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the young man in the gray robe chuckled softly. Already accustomed to his companion's ways, he deftly pulled out a small tortoise shell from his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, this \"young man\" retrieved three copper coins with rust spots from his robe, of the outer-round, inner-square variety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three coin-like artifacts were a currency unique to the Eastern Star Domain in the past and one of the oldest currencies in the history of the Eastern Star Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man placed the three rust-spotted copper coins he had just retrieved into the tortoise shell, then cradled the shell in both hands and shook it symbolically a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of \"clinking and clattering\" sounds came from the oil-glossed tortoise shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he poured the coins from the shell onto his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man stared at the three copper coins laid out in order on his palm, a reassuring smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qian, prosperous. The superior man has good fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, little Taylor, it's an auspicious hexagram.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hexagram tells me we just need to be a bit humble later, and things will go smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his companion's words, the weathered middle-aged man finally withdrew his somewhat vigilant gaze and let out a sigh of relief, appearing to place great trust in his companion's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. It seems a truly significant figure has indeed come...\" the weathered middle-aged man nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the weathered man's words fell, the two also reached their destination for this trip—the old weapons shop at the end of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men with completely different styles of dress exchanged a glance, then pushed open the door of this weapons shop...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for what felt like an eternity under Old George's anxious gaze, Loren finally met the person behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two individuals with rather different aesthetics walked side-by-side into the weapons shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, both men's pupils contracted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weathered-looking middle-aged man was the first to greet Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been rooted in the Radiant Flow Star Domain for a long time, the two had almost simultaneously recognized Loren the moment they entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, within the Radiant Flow Star Domain, any organization with even a slight focus on intelligence regarded this newly arrived Interstellar Hunter with the highest degree of wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Rule-Based Psychic who acted with madness and could seriously injure a Legendary-tier opponent head-on was considered a major figure anywhere...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Loren, hello. First time meeting. Let me introduce myself. Taylor, the owner behind this weapons shop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After politely introducing himself to Loren, the weathered middle-aged man pointed to his companion, who was currently spacing out beside him, and introduced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My business partner, from the distant Eastern Star Domain, Gu Lan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Taylor finished introducing the two of them, seeing his companion still lost in thought, he silently facepalmed and blatantly nudged the other with his elbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor's movements seemed extremely practiced;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clearly, he was long accustomed to his partner's occasional bouts of spacing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the young man in the gray robe seemed to snap out of a dream, slightly bowing his head as he spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... hello! Mr. Loren...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First time meeting! I was somewhat discourteous...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren glanced at the oddly dressed young man who even seemed nervous talking to him, inexplicably finding the other somewhat amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a strange pair. The Radiant Flow Star Domain really doesn't have many normal people...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, let's talk business,\" Loren said with a nod and a smile, appearing harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! That's precisely why we came,\" Taylor quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn't know what was happening, his intuition told him he'd better take over the negotiation rights with Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling his partner was acting a bit strange tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the usual occasional spacing-out issue, but more like he was hiding a trace of fear...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Loren smiled and handed the white metal canister in his hand to the man with the inherently weathered demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, inspect the goods first. I hope you are a respected scientist who can understand its value, Mr. Taylor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor carefully took the white sealed metal canister with both hands, saying to Loren with extreme confidence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't underestimate me, Mr. Loren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let my somewhat unorthodox appearance fool you. I am a man who earned his doctorate from one of the top three Mecha universities in the Central Star Domain, specializing in Mecha development and applied research.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been coveting Dark Matter Quantum Coating for a long time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the other's self-aggrandizement, Loren silently grumbled internally, Mr. Taylor, I didn't ask you that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren, who came from the Slums and only knew how to fight, smash, rob, and burn, clearly felt a certain degree of academic discrimination towards the man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Taylor, you should remain humble,\" a voice of reminder suddenly came from beside Taylor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Lan, who had remained silent since greeting Loren, reminded his companion at the opportune moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his companion's reminder, Taylor's expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no! I got too happy obtaining something I've long pursued and became a bit carried away...\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-03T08:20:31.241Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","f7ed17eb435cb3fc6c862a32245e3b947579d65092fed87ee54455c163cc8e48","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-172","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-170",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
