That year, a great cosmic war raged, and the race of light was nearly wiped out.
That month, he failed his high school entrance exam, defeated by her.
That day, the kaiju Jeedon attacke...
Using the souls of living beings as currency was a practice that was despised long ago.
After all, no living being wants its soul to be stripped away by such an unscrupulous businessman in the future. And then used in some strange place.
Unfortunately, the soul of a living being is truly useful.
A simpler usage is to devour the soul of an opponent that cannot resist, ultimately strengthening one's own soul.
It can also be used as a component of a specific product.
Of course, these things cannot be sold openly.
When you're selling souls, who knows if the customer might kill you in a fit of rage because they have a connection with a particular soul?
However, there are always more solutions than problems.
Although the path of selling souls is extremely arduous, it can bring one a great deal of wealth.
This is much more profitable than honestly transporting local specialties from other planets.
The Metaron aliens were seasoned veterans among cosmic merchants, and selling souls was naturally one of their ways of making money.
Regarding the profession of merchant, a famous ancient person once said: A pure merchant, if he has a 50% profit, will take risks; if he has a 100% profit, he will dare to trample on all human laws; if he has a 300% profit, he will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.
Yes, the sale of souls is not morally commendable.
But that's only on a moral level.
The acquisition of souls is often low-cost and highly profitable.
The Metaron aliens are not intimidated by mere public condemnation.
Of course, if the Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light were still alive, the Metron aliens wouldn't dare to do that.
Although it's a legitimate transaction, if those guys with an overflowing sense of justice find out, the Metron aliens will probably be arrested and imprisoned for decades.
Therefore, the demise of the Ultra race is only natural.
The Metaron stared at the ore in his hand and thought to himself.
This boy's soul is not pure.
They won't fetch a good price.
However, in the hands of the Metron aliens, it wouldn't be a problem to triple its original value.
It would be even better if you met some unfamiliar new people.
A tenfold price increase is also possible.
Thinking of this, the Metaron alien's lips curled into a smile.
No businessman in the universe would turn down money.
If he couldn't stand money, he wouldn't have become a cosmic businessman.
"Boss, I'm going to continue collecting debts!"
The blond man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted at the Metron alien.
"Remember to go easy on us. We're just trying to avoid disrupting the lives of human society. Earth's currency isn't worth much, so there's no need to hoard too much."
The Metaron aliens don't value money in everything.
The currency circulating on remote planets like Earth is, in the eyes of the Metaron aliens, just like the cosmic junk that is everywhere in the universe.
It has value, but the value is less than the physical effort required to bend down and pick it up.
In other words, the benefits are not significant enough for the Metron aliens to be of interest.
"Okay, boss. I'll be more careful next time."
The blond man gave an awkward smile.
Then, at the signal from the Metron aliens, they quietly left.
Only the Metaron aliens remained, standing silently.
"Isn't that enough? You've been staring at me like a ghost, and while you don't find it annoying, I do! So, isn't it about time you came out?"
The Metaron alien frowned and whispered towards a certain spot.
Soon, a red light flashed.
The phantom of the Yapool appeared before the Metaron aliens.
"Truly worthy of being called a cosmic merchant, he's incredibly astute."
The Yabo man said with a chuckle.
Even at their peak, the Yapools were unwilling to offend these cosmic merchants.
Because these people are truly petty and vindictive.
Moreover, as a highly intelligent alien, he still needed to obtain certain materials from the cosmic merchants when creating the super beast.
Offending this group would clearly be unwise.
"Heh... If I can't even detect something this bad, I might as well not be in the universe."
The Metaron alien let out a laugh of unknown meaning, then shrugged.
Clearly, the Metaron aliens didn't take the Yapool's praise very seriously.
"Alright, stop being so polite. What brings you here? Let me make this clear beforehand: the main reason I'm here on Earth this time is to restock, not to sell anything, so my inventory isn't very complete."
The Metaron alien shrugged.
He had no intention of opposing the Yapools, even though they were currently severely injured.
Although all the merchants in the universe are truly petty and vindictive.
And they are mostly unscrupulous merchants.
There is no limit to how cunning they can be.
These people are shameless and wander around the universe.
However, the reason why these annoying cosmic merchants still exist in this universe is because they adhere to a certain principle.
"Absolute neutrality. No matter who comes to buy, the sales channel must be open. Of course, if they can't afford it, that's another story."
Yes, the Metron aliens had known for a long time that a certain Gasts alien on a faraway side of Earth had awakened, but their composure as cosmic merchants kept them completely calm.
As a cosmic businessman, this level of sophistication is a must.
We can't just back down so easily.
"Hehe... It's alright, I didn't intend to buy any strange or unusual materials from you this time."
The Yabo man shook his head, indicating his own limitations.
The Metron aliens didn't believe a word the Yapools said.
Among the cosmic merchants, it has long been studied what each race typically comes to buy.
The Yapools come to the cosmic merchants either to buy something too strange or unusual.
Or they might sell some failed super-beasts to cosmic merchants.
Therefore, among the cosmic merchants, the Yapools are truly quite useless.
Furthermore, because the super beasts are sometimes considered failures and therefore too useless, customers may experience accidental deaths.
Therefore, the Metaron aliens, being seasoned cosmic merchants, did not particularly like the Yapool aliens.
Of course, the Yabo people are here now as customers.
Instead of being a seller, I wasn't so upset.
