Chapter 57: Back to the Grand Procurement

"According to the list you provided, the total price of your purchase this time is 59.6 trillion Black Dragon Coins," the supervisor said with a smile. "Given the large volume of this purchase, the company has decided to give you a 5% discount, and will also gift you a C9‑class ten‑thousand‑meter‑long transport ship, as well as a private manor."

"So the total price is 56.62 trillion Black Dragon Coins. How about this: you give me a round figure, and I'll pay the deposit immediately," Xiao Yu said with a smile. "Otherwise, I'll go consult other companies."

The supervisor was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said, "Fine, then 56 trillion Black Dragon Coins."

The commission he could earn from this order was substantial, so he couldn't give it up lightly.

"Deal."

"Sir, where should these materials be delivered?" the supervisor asked.

"Deliver them to Bai Lan Star for handover."

After the transaction succeeded, the supervisor gave him a Special VIP Card; from now on, wherever Xiao Yu spends within the Starry Sky Defense Company's enterprises across the universe, he will enjoy at least a 5% discount.

—

Earth has 7 billion people, the number of warriors is close to one million, and the number of senior trainees definitely reaches tens of millions, approaching a hundred million.

Earth's strength must not rest on the might of Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen alone, but on the strength of the entire species; as long as humanity on Earth becomes strong, the four's future worries while adventuring in the universe will be reduced.

To boost humanity's power, Xiao Yu, accompanied by his two Universe‑level bodyguards, Lu Dek and Lu Yade, went to the Curio Shop.

"Sir! May I ask what you need?" an elderly man in the Curio Shop asked respectfully.

"You have Azure Wave Marrow here, right?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Azure Wave Marrow, at the planetary stage, is a highly effective treasure. Even a planetary‑level warrior and Spiritual Mind Master like Luo Feng only needs 30 kilograms.

"Sir, please come this way."

This Sixth Tier, star‑level elder smiled and led Xiao Yu to a spot in the Curio Shop where a virtual projection floated—the projection of Azure Wave Marrow. Azure Wave Marrow is a strange green, mercury‑like liquid that faintly glows with specks of odd light, with a price tag beside it.

The price of Azure Wave Marrow is 9,000 Black Dragon Coins per gram, or 9 million Black Dragon Coins per kilogram.

"Give me 100 tons of Azure Wave Marrow," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The elder's corners of his face twitched with delight.

"Great patron! Absolutely a great patron!"

"Sir, this is our shop's Special Membership Card, which grants a 10% discount, and whenever we acquire rare treasures we will send the information to you first," the elder handed over a membership card etched with a Secret Pattern.

"After the discount, 8.1 billion Black Dragon Coins," the elder said, his smiling face creased with wrinkles.

Several star‑level customers nearby widened their eyes at the figure, a bad thought briefly forming in their minds, but it was dispelled by the two Universe‑level bodyguards following Xiao Yu.

A star‑level individual who can have a Universe‑level warrior as a bodyguard is neither a scion of a great clan nor a talent cultivated by a major power. It's not what they imagined.

"Send me three hundred thousand tons of Purple Light Dew," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The price for three hundred thousand tons of Purple Light Dew tops out at 2.4 billion Black Dragon Coins, and that's the selling price; the cost is certainly lower.

The elder's smiling face twitched, and he answered through the pain, "Very well, sir. Will you take it directly, or have it shipped to a designated location?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment, glanced at his bodyguards, and said, "Ship it to the docking port!"

"Very well, Mr. Xiao Yu," the elder replied.

"By the way, do you have Lan Ke Fruit in your shop?" Xiao Yu asked.

If the Curio Shop had it, Xiao Yu wouldn't have to wait for the year‑end Dry Witch Auction, and the minimum entry requirement for the Dry Witch Auction is being a Three‑star Rank member of the Cosmic Star River Bank. To achieve that, Xiao Yu might need to find a way, perhaps by auctioning off a Life Fruit.

"Sorry, sir, Lan Ke Fruit can be auctioned at the Dry Witch Auction, but it is generally not sold," the elder said regretfully.

Even a single Lan Ke Fruit costs tens of billions of Cosmic Coins, far beyond what a small shop like theirs can possess.

Xiao Yu paid a pre‑deposit of 10 billion Black Dragon Coins, with the remainder to be paid to the elder after handover at the docking port.

Since the Curio Shop lacks Lan Ke Fruit, there are only two ways to obtain it: go to the Dry Witch Auction Hall, or acquire it through the system.

At the Curio Shop, Xiao Yu, escorted by his two bodyguards, arrived at the Universal Mercenary Alliance, registered, and learned that only after passing the assessment can one become a trainee mercenary, and only upon reaching Universe‑level can one become a full mercenary.

Afterwards, Xiao Yu went to the Force Weapon Specialty Store; now he commands over ten thousand star‑level subordinates, all of whom are unarmed and lack suitable weapons.

For these ten thousand star‑level First Tier warriors, Xiao Yu will purchase each of them a Second Tier Force Armor and a Force Weapon; as for the suitable weapons they will use, Wu has already prepared them in advance.

The owner of the Force Weapon Specialty Store is a middle‑aged man two meters tall, with yellow hair and drooping dog ears.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, the ten thousand sets of Second Tier low‑grade Force Armor and Force Weapon you wish to purchase average 900 million Black Dragon Coins each, totaling 90 trillion Black Dragon Coins," the owner said with a smile.

Orders of such magnitude are rarely encountered.

"Hmm, additionally I need five hundred Second Tier high‑grade Force Weapons and five hundred Second Tier high‑grade Mind‑force Weapons, and 1,110 Third Tier low‑grade Force Armors," Xiao Yu continued listing the purchase order.

"A Third Tier low‑grade Force Armor costs 15 billion Black Dragon Coins each; a Second Tier high‑grade Force Weapon costs 2.5 billion Black Dragon Coins, and a Second Tier high‑grade Mind‑force Weapon costs 5 billion Black Dragon Coins. The total for five hundred Second Tier high‑grade Force Weapons, five hundred Second Tier high‑grade Mind‑force Weapons, and 1,110 Third Tier low‑grade Force Armors is 1.89 trillion Black Dragon Coins," the owner said with a smile.

"The total price is 27.9 trillion Black Dragon Coins," the owner hurriedly said. "Mr. Xiao Yu, since your one‑time purchase exceeds 100 trillion Black Dragon Coins, we can give you the maximum discount of 88% of the price. The discounted total is 32.472 trillion, so you can pay me 32.4 trillion Black Dragon Coins."

The weapons store faces intense competition; not only do weapons shops compete among themselves, but even the Curio Shop is vying for business, and major powers such as the Cosmic Star River Bank also get involved.

Doing big business these days is hard, and for a specialty weapons shop it's even harder, so the discounts they offer must be higher than those from the major powers.

"Fine." Xiao Yu nodded, completing the transaction on the spot and placing all the weapons and armors into the Space Ring.

This time, unlike the deal at the Curio Shop, the volume of the transaction wasn't large, and with two Universe‑level bodyguards behind him, even casual warriors wouldn't see him as a fat sheep.
