A rain of blood falls from the sky, the apocalypse descends, mountains and rivers change color, and demons run rampant. Civilization collapses, order is chaotic, and survivors desperately try to fi...
A glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes, and his attitude became even more respectful than before, occasionally introducing the finest items along the way.
This exchange is not only famous within this star system, but also attracts merchants from other regions.
Their first president even set the motto "There's nothing we can't do if you can imagine it."
Every time the manager introduced something, Xiaoman's heart trembled. After several times, she became somewhat numb and didn't even bother to respond.
The old man frowned slightly, and thought with a wry smile, "No wonder she was able to possess the Black Fiend Token at such a young age; few people can match her composure."
He gestured for his men to step back with his eyes, smiled broadly, and bowed, saying, "Sir, I really don't know what you need. Could you please tell me?"
Xiaoman's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile appeared on her lips, and she quickened her pace.
He thought to himself, "This old man looks extremely respectful, but he's actually testing me. In that case, let him go find the eternal life form, hehe."
Soon after, they reached the end of the ordinary area. Xiaoman pretended to be angry and shouted, "If you keep showing me this junk, there's no point in this place existing."
A palpable killing intent enveloped the surroundings.
The old man trembled all over, cold sweat rolling down his face uncontrollably, his heart filled with immense fear. "I, a powerful expert with one foot in the fifth star realm, can't even muster a shred of Origin Force in front of her. Could she be... a sixth-star expert?"
The more I analyzed it, the more alarmed I became. I could barely stand and quickly attached myself to the booth in the exhibition area.
The commotion was too loud, so Xiaoman looked over here.
Xiaoman's gaze fell on the old man, and she instinctively wanted to look away, but a strange stone in the counter behind him caught her eye.
"What is it?" he asked casually.
The old man trembled and stammered, "This meteorite from outer space initially had a faint amount of energy, but it hasn't shown any energy since the beginning of this year. After being examined by several appraisers, this item has been downgraded from the high-level category to the mid-level category."
With a wry smile, he said, "No one expected that it would be disliked even in the intermediate zone, and in the end, it could only be placed in a corner of the intermediate zone as a decoration."
"I see." Xiaoman also lost interest in it and was about to move forward when the Fish Intestine Sword trembled slightly.
Approaching with a try-it-out mentality, the Fish Intestine Sword trembled even more violently, and he thought to himself, "Could this thing be related to the Fish Intestine Sword?"
"Take it out, let me see it." A commanding tone.
The old man nodded hurriedly, rushed to the counter, took out the meteorite, and handed it over with both hands.
The moment his hand touched the meteorite, a surge of pure power flowed into his body, coursing through his meridians and into the Fish Intestine Sword.
"A nice find." Xiaoman deliberately put on a stern face, turned the meteorite over, and pouted. "Nothing special about it, just consider it a collector's item." She paused for two seconds, then asked, "How much does this thing cost?"
The old man quickly waved his hand, "If you like it, sir, just take it."
"I don't like owing favors." Xiaoman took out an interstellar universal coin from her pocket and slammed it on the counter. "We're even."
The old man's pupils dilated, a million curses running through his mind. He thought with a tearful face, "Even if it's worthless, you can't give me a single dollar! If the chairman finds out, I'll be scolded to death!"
Quickly return the one yuan. "Lord Black Fiend, you may take any three items from the trading house, regardless of type or quality."
"But I don't like it this way." Xiaoman suppressed a laugh and tossed a dollar into the old man's pocket.
The old man's mouth was agape, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
It took me more than ten seconds to come to my senses, but Xiaoman had already disappeared.
"Grandma, don't scare me."
The old man was extremely anxious, his eyes darting around...
at the same time.
The meteorite and the Fish Intestine Sword were attracted to each other and eventually stuck together.
No matter how hard Xiaoman tried, she couldn't separate them. She laughed and cried at the same time, "How can we fight like this?"
Suddenly, he remembered the method he had used to touch the meteorite, so he slowly grasped it and gently infused it with his inner energy.
Buzz!
A purer power surged out from the meteorite and rushed wildly into the Fish Intestine Sword.
Buzz, clang!
The Fish Intestine Sword shone ever brighter, its sword intent soaring.
Xiaoman trembled, the sword techniques of "Chasing the Wind Without a Shadow" flashing before her eyes...
The sword techniques were evolving in my mind at an increasingly rapid pace, to the point that my consciousness could hardly keep up.
Dang, Zheng.
The Fish Intestine Sword hovered in mid-air, shimmering with a breathtaking light.
At the same time, Xiaoman's strange state was also broken. She caught the Fish Intestine Sword with a smile on her lips, and a feeling of blood connection came from the handle.
"I didn't expect to gain this much; the trip was definitely worthwhile."
Before the words were even finished, the old man appeared in sight in a flustered manner, "Sir, I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"I have some thoughts on my mind and want to find a quiet place to be alone for a while." Xiaoman still had a stern face, her eyes wide open. "Old man, do you dare disturb my enlightenment?"
"Ah?" The old man felt like he wanted to die. He kept bowing and pleading, "Sir, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me, please forgive me."
The owner of the Black Fiend Token has great power of life and death. Even if he is a manager in the trading house, he can be killed at will. Don't even mention resisting, even disrespecting him could lead to the extermination of his entire family.
"Forgiveness isn't out of the question." Xiaoman squinted at him, looking at him playfully. "Bring me something that will appeal to me."
The old man felt an urge to strangle her, but quickly suppressed his anger and pulled a card from his pocket. "Sir, this is all I have. Please forgive me, considering it was unintentional."
"You think you can settle this with just a little money?" The Fish Intestine Sword trembled, and a sharp sword light emerged.
The old man collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, pleading, "Five hundred million interstellar universal coins and a 40% discount on everything!"
“Universal currency is useless, but the 40% discount privilege is quite interesting.” Xiaoman rested her chin on her hand, pretending to be troubled. “I’ll reluctantly forgive you since it was unintentional.”
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
The old man struggled to his feet, stepped aside, and thought to himself, "I'm never going to entertain the owner of the Black Fiend Token again. It's too damn scary."
Xiaoman, unaware of his thoughts, walked towards the intermediate area...
Exchange, headquarters.
A subordinate rushed in and told everyone about Xiaoman's situation.
"What? Is that so?" The person in charge of the exchange, Enkos, was a member of the Ape race, a mid-stage advanced level five Force, with influence spanning multiple star regions and complex relationships with more than a dozen empires.
“Absolutely true.” (his subordinate)
Enkos stood up, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It's been a long time since the exchange has had such an interesting person. Let's go see."
They traveled quickly and soon arrived in the intermediate zone.
Meanwhile, Xiaoman, led by the old man, also moved towards the center.
A few minutes later, the two met.
The moment the old man saw Enkos, tears welled up in his eyes, and he rushed to him, shouting, "Chairman!"
These two short words are filled with heartache and pain.
Enkos gave him a look that said: Go away.
He cupped his hands in greeting, his face beaming, "Enkos greets Lord Black Fiend Commander. How may I be of assistance?"
"Such a large exchange, and there's nothing that even catches my eye. What a waste of my time." Xiaoman turned around and pretended to leave.
“Please wait, sir.” Enkos quickly caught up. “How could such good things be displayed in the exhibition hall?” His smile widened. “There is a large auction tonight. If you are not busy, sir, you can wait until tonight. If you do not find anything that interests you, Treasure Pavilion is willing to compensate you with 5 billion gold coins.”
Xiaoman glanced at him, toying with the Fish Gut Sword. "Trying to bury me in money?"
"No, no!" Enkos broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "I must not antagonize her before I have a clear understanding of her background." He bowed slightly and cupped his hands, "If you are not satisfied, sir, you may choose whatever you need from the exchange. Take whatever you like."
"Alright, fine!" Xiaoman pretended to be reluctant.
A million alpacas raced through the minds of everyone present.
Xiaoman walked towards the premium area with her hands behind her back...
After everyone was certain that she had really left, they let out a long sigh of relief, their faces growing increasingly pale.
"Men, go and find out what this person is relying on!" Enkos said angrily, clenching his fists.
"Yes, sir!"
The two men left.
The old man approached and whispered, "Her fighter jet seems to have come from the Crimson Hun Empire. However, we dare not go inside to confirm, we can only judge from the outside."
“Chihun?” Enkos frowned slightly. “If it were before, I really wouldn’t have thought much of it. But things are different now. The Chihun Empire, which once dominated all the star systems, has returned.”
The old man looked completely bewildered.
“Just recently, the Chihun Empire annihilated the Fourth Legion of the Ancient Shu Empire, with only one commander escaping.” Enkos’s eyes flashed with deep fear. “Pass down the word: investigate carefully and do not anger this person. If she really came from the Chihun Empire, I do have some information that can keep her in check.”
"What news?" the old man asked, overjoyed.
"Wan Nu, you're becoming more and more unruly. Only ask questions you should ask, and shut up about things you shouldn't." Enkos said angrily.
"I apologize for my indiscretion, Chairman."
Enkos ignored him and walked away.
A venomous glint flashed in Wan Nu's eyes, his fists clenched tightly as he stared in the direction Xiao Man had left...
More than twenty minutes later.
Xiaoman has already explored the entire advanced area and discovered quite a few good things.
"If we could bring these things back to Earth, it would definitely allow the Dragon Kingdom to rise to prominence."
Looking around to make sure no one was nearby, he immediately put his right hand into his pocket and started tracing the surrounding terrain with his fingernail.
Before long, the drawing was finished.
Xiaoman possesses an almost photographic memory, and with the addition of drawings, she has firmly memorized the situation here.
A smile crept across his lips as he thought, "Once I figure out the guards and patrols, I can sneak in and loot the treasures inside. But before that, I need to find a few large spatial storage bags."
After figuring it out, I deliberately went close to those corners and memorized the positions of the lasers and robots.
More than an hour had passed without us realizing it.
"My lord, have you not made your choice yet?" A stunningly beautiful young woman approached slowly with a smile on her face.
"I didn't find what I needed." Xiaoman pretended to be a little angry. "Take me to rest for a while. Hopefully, something good will appear tonight."
"I certainly won't let you down, sir." The girl smiled sweetly. "This way, sir."
Xiaoman nodded and followed her away...
