While his team was delivering the money, Jakari signed the contract first.

Looking at the terms and the delivery date, which was only a year away, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

"Can I pay later? I already called my team."

"Certainly. Just call me when you are ready," the clerk said with a smile.

Anyway, without the payment, the contract would be void.

With customers coming one after another, they didn’t mind a few slipping away.

Relieved after finalizing the contract, Jakari began to explore the other floors of the shop.

On the second floor, he saw regular necessities and items usually sold around.

Seeing it had no distinguishing features, Jakari quickly lost interest and went to another floor.

Entering a floor full of potions, he couldn’t help but look around with interest.

"Level 4 and 5 potency potions? It seems the Neon Star Tower has a large group of alchemists."

More importantly, seeing their prices lower than the market, Jakari couldn’t help but be excited.

"So cheap! How can they sell it so low? Do they even want to profit?"

The price was already approaching the lower limit for potions of the same tier.

Although still higher than those profiteers enslaved billions of potion-making alchemists, he could tell the quality of the potions was higher and more consistent.

After learning they could buy without any limit, Jakari was more certain the Neon Star Tower had found a way to mass-produce these high-potency potions.

"Tsk, it seems our pockets will be emptied before we can come out."

Calming down, Jakari went toward the next floor.

Seeing the floor filled with various production lines, he couldn’t help but look around curiously.

"This—potion production lines?! They were really able to mass-produce these potions?"

Although mass-producing potions wasn’t unusual, it was a capability only top-tier teams could achieve.

Even then, they wouldn’t ostentatiously sell it to others like regular technology.

"No, this is not right. Why are these production lines only able to produce potion liquid? Is it not a complete production line?"

Reading through their description, Jakari instantly calmed down.

If it were only processing, curing, and synthesizing the materials, it would indeed be easier to mechanize.

No wonder they sold it without hesitation.

Furthermore, reading that the potion liquid could only produce level 3 potency potions, he was a little disappointed.

Besides some teams that were still hiding, most were already using higher-potency potions from top galactic territories.

If they wanted to catch up and not be left behind, they would need to use a minimum of level 4 potency potions.

However, his interest didn’t wane because of this.

While not useful for the cosmic elites, it was still largely beneficial for regular soldiers.

Furthermore, seeing that the price was not too expensive, Jakari decided to add it to the things they must buy.

Exploring all the production lines, he noticed the types were limited to basic training potions and healing potions.

"Can we customize a potion production line here?" Jakari asked a clerk nearby.

"Not at the moment. In the future, once the Neon Star Tower settles, we should be able to fulfill your request."

Currently, the Neon Star Alliance doesn’t have much manpower.

Thus, even if Nash could deduce various types of production lines, they wouldn’t be able to meet the quota.

It was better to specialize in a few and earn more money than to spread themselves thin.

Anyway, they could already earn enough from the Neon Battleship; everything else was a bonus.

"I see. Please inform us when happens."

"Certainly. We’ll do our best to satisfy all your requests."

After looking around, Jakari went to the next floor of the building.

"Hmm? An energy crystal area?"

All around, he could see various crystals of elements, laws, and unique ores.

Not only that, but looking at the conspicuous special section, it seemed they could also sell rare items here.

After asking for prices, he learned they were a little higher than the market.

Especially for law crystals, if Jakari didn’t have much with him, he might have sold a few.

Just as he was about to move up, he saw something different.

"Soul Crystal? What is this? A condensation of soul?!"

As far as he knew, besides some special areas and domains, the formation of soul crystals was almost impossible.

Although not as rare as law crystals, these were precious resources that could improve soul training.

Furthermore, as he read the description of the soul crystal, the shock on his face deepened.

"No, this is not an ordinary soul crystal!"

Although it was only the size of a fingernail, it was purer and came with different elements.

Depending on the element, it could not only boost the power of the soul but also hasten elemental training.

More importantly, because of its purity, it was easier and faster to absorb than a potion.

Looking at the price, it wasn’t too expensive either.

A soul crystal was only worth 10 void source crystals, which was a bargain.

"This soul crystal..."

Thinking of the money in his pocket, Jakari wanted to spend everything and exchange it for these soul crystals.

Given their worth, they could even be used as currency when he was out of money.

Instead of keeping void source crystals that could only power machines and external devices, it was better to have soul crystals that could replenish their bodies.

Suddenly, just when he thought of splurging, his team carrying the money arrived.

"There you are!"

"We’ve been calling you for ages. Why didn’t you answer?"

"I didn’t notice."

"Didn’t notice? It seems this shop really distracted you!" they muttered, thinking Jakari had something wrong with his brain.

After all, spending most of their money on a mere Tier 6 battleship was a large waste.

"It seems you hadn’t taken a careful look around. Come, let me show you why I bought the Neon Battleship."

Seeing his teammates, Jakari quickly forgot about the soul crystal.

Walking down the floor, he asked a clerk to let them experience the power of the Neon Battleship in the virtual world.
