I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 855 - 853: Are You Selling This Stall?

"Shouldn’t have tried to show off!" Zhang Menglong grumbled. He had endless wealth, but damn it, this money couldn’t be used at the universe’s underground expo. Who could he reason with about this?

"Is there a way?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Is there any job that’s quick money and low risk?"

"There are some, but those things are all written in the Universal Alliance’s criminal law," Ireel said, "Almost all Level Three and above civilizations have some savings in Dark Coin. If you’re bold enough, you can just rob them house to house."

"Robbing is too slow!" Zhang Menglong blurted out. Even if he robbed one civilization a day, by the time the universe expo officially started, he probably wouldn’t have much money. If there was something he desired then, he wouldn’t be able to buy it.

This time, he was planning to get hold of a few fleets of Level Five Peak civilization back home. At the price of ten trillion Cosmic Coins per warship, it would require a billion Dark Coins to buy just one in this "black market".

An entire fleet needs at least 1,000 warships to form a standard combat sequence - that’s ten trillion Dark Coins!

"That’s true, even a small Level Five civilization probably only has tens of billions in Dark Coin, robbing indeed is quite slow."

"Is there another way?"

"Yes!" Ireel said, "Remember the trading market I told you about? There, you can freely choose the currency for transactions. Many who are eager to cash in go there to buy things. Maybe a random vendor there is actually a lord of a Level Five civilization selling a planet."

"Are you saying I should go there to sell things?"

"With your ability to forge Martial Weapons, are you worried about not making money?" Ireel said, "But you must be careful, it’s a place that will chew you up and spit out your bones; the price is very blackmarked. Normally it’s 1:10,000 ratio, but there it might even be 1:12,000 or higher."

"Got it," Zhang Menglong nodded, "I’m off then!"

...

"Damn it, I thought I’d never have to make money again in my life, still too young!" Zhang Menglong showed a helpless expression. Getting a few fleets back is really troublesome, "Showing off gets you into trouble!"

If he had acted sooner, he might have been able to exchange Cosmic Coins for a lot of Dark Coins in the market. But at this point, almost all Dark Coins in the market had been gobbled up by major forces. Unless you present something valuable enough to attract them, it’s too hard to get them to willingly fork out the money.

Following the map’s guidance, Zhang Menglong quickly found this so-called trading market.

It’s a very interesting planet; its rotation has almost stopped, there’s no atmosphere, one side facing the artificial star, while the other faces the cold, dark universe, so the temperature difference between day and night is huge, over 300 degrees Celsius on the sunny side, while the other side is almost minus 180 degrees.

But the organizers were quite interesting, setting up an oasis at the junction of these extreme environments. This trading market was established along the planet’s Twilight Line.

The stalls are all free, and those near the teleportation entrance are the most bustling since anyone arriving can see them first.

All around were noisy shouts, the masters of Advanced Civilizations wouldn’t personally come here to set up stalls, most were their subordinates sent here. After all, doing such things is beneath their dignity.

"Selling large quantities of Level One Civilizations, Dark Coin transactions only, 1 Dark Coin each, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets, first come first served in huge quantities!"

"Selling rare cosmic creatures! If raised well, they become your best helper. Accepting Cosmic Coin transactions, 10% discount for Dark Coin transactions!"

"Selling a Level Five Martial Weapon for 5 billion Dark Coins!"

"Selling the genetic optimization secrets for a Level Five Life Form, priced at 20 billion Dark Coins!"

...

"Wow, even livelier than a vegetable market," Zhang Menglong was witnessing such a scene for the first time.

The trading market truly had a lot of stuff, though planets were the most sold items. Occasionally, there were some cosmic creatures and weapon manuals, and even second-hand spaceship fleets and slaves, but all retail, so very few in quantity.

"Is that a golden shaded color?" Zhang Menglong spotted a cat in a cage. It was grooming its fur obediently, looking harmless.

"Young man, take a look at this Cosmic Devourer beast. It’s a very fierce creature in the universe, but it bonds with its owner. If you cultivate it seriously, it can even grow into a Level Eight Life Form. I’m selling it for 5 trillion Dark Coins, and if you use Cosmic Coins, it’s only 60 star units. How about that? It’s a steal!"

The stall owner was a Level Three Life Form, looking very much like a lackey.

"Cosmic Devourer beast? Wow, does this really exist?" Zhang Menglong had seen such creatures in "Captain Marvel". It looked like an orange cat but was a terrifying cosmic beast, its belly with an interdimensional space, capable of swallowing even a planet.

If it really was such a creature, buying it for just 60 star units would indeed be very cheap.

"Young brother, don’t let him fool you, that’s no Cosmic Devourer beast," kindly reminded a middle-aged man nearby, "It’s not even a Cosmic Devourer beast; the fur on a real one is orange. If you look closely, there’s a big difference. It’s just a common cosmic creature, at most a Level Two Life Form!"

"Get lost, you’re ruining my business!" The stall owner got furious when his lie was exposed.

"Angry, huh?" The middle-aged man clearly wasn’t someone to mess with, "There’s a Level Six Life Form patrolling this area. You’re asking for trouble if you act recklessly. I have no respect for conmen like you who deceive newcomers."

The stall owner cast a reluctant glance in the direction of the only building on this planet, the security office guarded by Level Six Life Forms, ensuring no one dared to act out of line here.

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhang Menglong took another look at the "golden shaded" cat. Was it really not the breed he thought? Could it be that some ancestor took a golden shaded cat for a space romp and it started conquering the universe?

"It’s nothing. I could tell you’re new around here. Besides, at his price, I doubt you could afford it," the middle-aged man sized up Zhang Menglong from head to toe, doubting he could afford 60 star units.

Zhang Menglong wandered around; the further he got from the teleportation point, the cheaper things sold, but there were fewer people as well, likely making less money.

This wasn’t some online shopping site where using promotional tools could boost traffic. He needed a prime location to attract more buyers!

But snatching a spot was out of the question. With Level Six Life Forms guarding, even if he brought someone in from WeChat, they wouldn’t dare oppose the universe’s underground expo organizers. But he had money!

Zhang Menglong walked straight to the hottest stall. The stall owner was a Level Five Life Form, selling various things like planets, slaves, second-hand ships, inter-civilization company stocks, and lots of items he couldn’t name.

Almost everyone passing by stopped to see what items were available, and despite not having the lowest prices, the business was thriving.

"Young brother, are you here with your elders to broaden your horizons?" The stall owner warmly greeted Zhang Menglong, "Do you want to have a look? I probably have many things that would interest you."

"I’m not here to buy anything," Zhang Menglong said, "I was wondering if you’re selling this stall?"
