Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 548 - 318: Buy, Buy, Buy, Returning to Xuan Star_2

Chapter 548: Chapter 318: Buy, Buy, Buy, Returning to Xuan Star_2

Xiaolin shook her head. Having served as a maid here for a hundred years, she naturally had her own methods of judging people. Even without making a purchase, getting to know a Ninth Rank powerhouse in advance and establishing a rapport could do her no harm.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a call reached her ears.

"No time to chat, someone’s calling me. I hope it’s a big order this time. It would be great if I could buy a house in Xingyu City, then I could move my family up from their planet to Xingyu City."

With a sigh, Xiaolin set aside her thoughts and hurried toward the direction indicated by her device.

Settling in Xingyu City, even the smallest flat, a one-bedroom, would cost a hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals. Not to mention her, a Seventh Rank, even at Eighth Rank, she might not be able to afford it.

"It’s you, sir. Is there a problem?"

Looking up and seeing Jiang Shu, Xiaolin’s face brightened, and she hurried over to ask.

"I’ll take a set of Star Network, ten vials of bloodline evolution fluid, one Laser Cannon and one smart warplane each, and four seedlings of Meteor Vine..."

Jiang Shu spoke slowly. During the buffet, he had already calculated the prices of everything he wanted to buy.

The Star Network would allow Xuanxing to connect to universe civilization. As for access rights, he planned to unlock them step by step, allowing the leaders to get a head start and strategize in advance. The bloodline evolution fluids would be taken back for the research institute to study. It wasn’t essential to reproduce the same effects, but any insights on how to develop similar products would be a grand achievement. After all, compared to Martial Arts and spirituality, genetic enhancement provided the fastest progress in the early Realms. And it was most suitable for the general public. The Laser Cannon was considered a mature thermal weapon in science-driven civilizations; comprehending it would pave the way to researching the more lethal Star Annihilation Cannon. As for the smart warplane, controlled by an internal intellect, it had weaker offensive power, but its speed could match that of an average Ninth Rank powerhouse. It was a last-resort safeguard Jiang Shu left for his family. In case of any accident, the smart warplane could carry them straight out of Xuanxing. The Meteor Vine seedlings would help enhance the strength of his parents, sister, and Ye Zhenzhen. Even the seedlings possessed the power of the Sixth Rank. Once stimulated, they could rapidly reach the Seventh or even Eighth Rank. In Xuanxing, such combat power was already considerable. Even in the universe, they could protect his family and ensure their survival.

After reconfirming his thoughts and ensuring there were no misunderstandings, a notion flashed through his mind.

Xiaolin, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly. Having worked in Xingyu Building for a hundred years, she computed the costs of Jiang Shu’s order in an instant.

Nearly two thousand Cosmic Origin Crystals! If he spent just a bit more, based on the commission of one-thousandth, she would earn two Cosmic Origin Crystals, edging closer to buying her house!

"By the way, I need some specific information. I remember you mentioning how thorough Xingyu Building’s information retrieval is. I’m interested in the Blood God, Dark Night God, and Skull Bone God from the Divine Country Alliance..."

Jiang Shu named all the deities who had once invaded Xuanxing and said, "I want more detailed information about them, as well as the population numbers on their planets."

"How many Cosmic Origin Crystals are needed for this information retrieval?"

Since deciding to enter the Star Ruins Realm, Jiang Shu was intent on eliminating future threats. Not to mention, slaying these deities wasn’t without benefit for him; as someone possessing the Kunpeng Swallowing Technique, the Faith Power accumulated by these Lower Gods could be devoured directly!

"Sir, you may start by registering as a member of Xingyu Building. Based on your recent expenditure, you are eligible to prepay one Cosmic Origin Crystal for us to initiate an inquiry. Once the investigation is complete, we will set a new price based on the time, effort, and costs involved."

"You may choose to buy the information or to decline. If you decline, the one Cosmic Origin Crystal is non-refundable."

Watching Jiang Shu nod, Xiaolin smiled with relief, and under her guidance, Jiang Shu quickly made his purchases.

Although these items were of no help to him personally, they could accelerate the development of Xuanxing, ensuring his peace of mind in the vast Cang Mang Domain. After all, upon his return to the Cang Mang Domain this time, a true battle awaited him, and it would be difficult to find the time to return to Xuanxing, or to the Cang Mang Domain.

"Additionally, keep an eye out for any Eighth Rank Genetic Slaves. If there are any good ones, contact me directly; just send it to my Star Network ID."

"In terms of requirements, besides wanting them as strong as possible, their appearance should lean towards being human-like, but they must not actually be of the Human Clan."

"I’ll probably need about three, and I’ll pay for this batch upfront. Consider it an advance."

Eighth Rank Genetic Slaves were indeed highly sought after in the Star Ruins Realm. They could attend to daily living in the Star Ruins Realm. And in the vast universe, they could serve as expendables to explore all sorts of dangerous places. Placing an order in advance meant that next time he came, he wouldn’t run into the same issue of coming up empty-handed like today.

After connecting his personal terminal to the Star Network, Jiang Shu briefly scanned the cosmic Star Network and then sent his Star Network ID to the maid.

Without any further delay, he stepped out of the Xingyu Building.

At this time, Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts were already waiting at the entrance of Xingyu Building.

Seeing Jiang Shu’s figure, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts could not help but speak.

"Jiang Shu, are you still going to hang around Xingyu City, or should we head to Tuoba City?"

It had to be said, even to the Lower God, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts, Tuoba Jin had left a deep impression. The Ninth Rank Meteor Vine. No less than nine guards of the same Realm as himself; just the thought alone made one realize how formidable the youth’s connections were. If Jiang Shu could establish a relationship with him, his own future might very well involve living directly in Tuoba City, with the possibility of advancing to a Middle-level God now within reach.

However, Jiang Shu shook his head.

"No rush. Let’s first return to Xuanxing; you all just wait for me in Xingyu City."

It was his first visit to the Star Ruins Realm, and Jiang Shu was extremely cautious. The items he purchased in the Xingyu Building could first be used to enhance Xuanxing. Once he advanced to the Nirvana Realm within the Cang Mang Domain, only then would he have more confidence returning to the Star Ruins Realm.

"Alright, but there’s no need to stay in Xingyu City. I’ll head directly to the Black Iron Desert instead. I can also keep an eye on Xuanxing’s Star Gate for you," Master Cangwu said as he looked towards the God of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Clearly, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts had now completely decided to stand with Jiang Shu and naturally nodded in agreement.

Neither of them considered using the Star Gate to enter Xuanxing.

Firstly, Xuanxing harbored a great secret, and with their identities, they were a bit too sensitive. As conscious forms, there wasn’t much they could do, but if their true bodies entered, it would definitely alert Jiang Shu, leading to completely unnecessary caution. Secondly, Xuanxing, after all, was still just an Extraordinary Planet. It only offered rich Yuan Qi, which, in comparison to the Origin Power of the Star Ruins Realm, was still too weak. Cultivating on Xuanxing for a month was not as effective as a single day of cultivation in the Star Ruins Realm. This was also why many strong beings, upon passing through the Star Gate to the Star Ruins Realm and knowing they were only average there, still refused to return. Not to mention, both of them had now given all their savings to Jiang Shu. They barely had any Cosmic Origin Crystals left. This period was a good opportunity to condense Cosmic Origin Crystals while cultivating in the Black Iron Desert.

"Thanks." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After a short stroll around Xingyu City and learning about some applications of machinery in life, Jiang Shu quickly returned to the Black Iron Desert with Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts.

For them, as beings in the Forget Self Realm and Lower Gods, the Black Iron Desert held no dangers whatsoever, and they could freely come and go as they pleased.

Amidst the dim sand and dust, Jiang Shu activated the concealment formation, and the Star Gate of Xuanxing reappeared before his eyes.

He sensed the various Origin Powers of the Star Ruins Realm.

With a leap, he entered.

「Return to Xuanxing!」
