Chapter 294 Star Sand Agents
"...Are you sure this place sells star sand?"
Chen Fan looked at the somewhat deserted floating island in front of him, and his eyes twitched slightly as he questioned Baroka beside him.
"Shh!"
Although he knew that their conversation was almost impossible to be heard by outsiders, Baroka's body still trembled slightly.
He glanced around cautiously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Baroka lowered his voice and reminded Chen Fan:
"Although most of these star sand agents are pawns supported by advanced civilizations, on the surface, star sand transactions are still strictly prohibited by the free trade market, so..."
"You know."
Chen Fan suddenly realized.
Quietly enter the village, don't shoot, right?
"Help me find the largest agent here." Chen Fan also lowered his voice slightly, "I have to ask the source of star sand production."
Although he had guessed Chen Fan's intention long ago, Baroka still showed a bit of horror on his face when he heard this.
He calmed down his inner throbbing: "... I'm afraid I have to go find the star sand agent supported by the Bray civilization."
As he spoke, Baroka walked forward slowly, passing by several shops that looked very dilapidated, and walked straight to the shops in the central area of the main road.
"Most of the shops in the marginal areas are agents from the fifth-level civilization."
Baroka's voice sounded in the communication channel, introducing Chen Fan in detail: "The price of star sand in the hands of these agents is slightly lower, so low-level civilizations usually choose to buy star sand in these shops."
As he spoke, Baroka calmly pointed to a shop on the edge of the main road: "The Swamp Abyss civilization used to buy star sand there."
Chen Fan quickly glanced at it. There were several silver-white materials that looked like steel plates hanging outside the shop.
A barely detectable white light flashed on it, and an electronic synthesized voice also sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [Nano ceramic alloy material, the strength is not bad, can meet the needs of the fourth-level civilization. ]
[Usually used to make the shell of the fourth-level starship. ]
It's a sheep's head selling dog meat, right?
As he understood, Chen Fan asked Baroka again: "Is there a difference between the star sands in the hands of different agents?"
"Why is there a difference in price?"
Baroka hesitated for a moment, and a look of entanglement flashed across his face: "I don't know the details, but..."
"I have heard a rumor before."
"Star sand also has a purity standard. The purity of the star sand in the hands of the fifth-level civilization is not as high as those of the higher-level civilizations, and the number of star sands in the hands of the fifth-level civilization is relatively small, which cannot meet the requirements of some major customers, so the price is relatively lower."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.
Regarding the issue of the purity of the star sand, he had already expected it - the fundamental difference between the Nebula Potion and the star sand lies in the purity of the active ingredients.
"I don't know the standard for purity either." Baroka paused slightly, "But from the actual experience, the star sand purchased from the fifth-level agents is indeed better than the star sand allocated to the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
"The star sand in the Swamp Abyss Council is basically purchased from outside, and the star sand store sells the allocated low-purity star sand."
Chen Fan understood.
In order to "promote consumption", the Bray Alliance divided the star sand into several grades. Different civilizations were allocated different purity of star sand. The higher the civilization level, the higher the purity of the star sand.
So...
whether it is a level 3, 4, 5, or 6 civilization, they will buy higher concentrations of star sand from higher civilizations.
With such layers of exploitation, most of the resources of this galaxy eventually fell into the hands of the Bray civilization!
The scale of this floating land is not large.
During the conversation, Chen Fan had followed Baroka's footsteps into the central area of the floating land.
Unlike the shops in the edge areas, the shops in the central area of the floating land are obviously much more refined, and the architectural style is more obvious.
Chen Fan's eyes quickly focused on a tall tower-shaped building-this architectural style can be seen at a glance as a shop for the big birds of the Bray civilization.
"That tower is the agent of the Bray civilization. I don't need to say more about this."
Baroka's voice continued: "The shops next to the tower are all agents of the sixth-level civilization in the Bray Alliance."
While introducing the sixth-level civilization in the Bray Alliance to Chen Fan, he walked towards the tower-shaped shop in the center with a somewhat restrained step.
...
Inside the tower.
Yaru sat on the chair expressionlessly, staring at the rock-style tower door in front of him.
In the past few months, this door has never been opened, but Yaru doesn't care.
He has few customers, usually only one business every few years.
According to past rules, this door will be opened once every three months.
Yaru raised his right wing and scratched the huge tumor protruding on the left side of his body with an indifferent look.
Compared with other tumors hidden under feathers, this tumor is obviously much larger - it is almost equivalent to a small wing.
But... there is no feather on the surface of this wing, only layers of festering sores.
"This damn war..."
Yaru whispered softly, with a trace of imperceptible pain in the depths of his eyes.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the front, and the door of the rock-style tower quietly opened. A sparse fresh air came from outside the door, quickly dispelling the gloomy atmosphere in the tower.
Yaru raised his head and looked at the open door in astonishment.
A blue-skinned giant salamander wearing a life-support kit staggered in from the outside, and behind it were three unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.
Yalu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Although he didn't know the identity of the blue-skinned giant salamander, he could tell from the life-support kit it was wearing that it was a Level 5 civilization at best.
Did he take the wrong path?
Although he was confused, Yalu still performed his duties and casually introduced in a calm tone: "Space weapons, dense neutron materials... What do you want to buy?"
I think that when hearing these technological names, the other party should be able to realize where they have entered, right?
"Respected sir."
Contrary to Yalu's expectations, the blue-skinned giant salamander did not leave immediately, but expressed his needs in standard Bray language: "We are from the Swamp Abyss Civilization and want to buy some star sand from you."
Yalu was stunned.
Swamp Abyss Civilization?
Is there a Level 5 civilization with this name in the Bray Alliance?
He lowered his head calmly and typed the four words Swamp Abyss Civilization on the electronic device in front of him.
"Level 3 civilization?"
Yalu looked at the information on the display screen in silence. He slowly stood up from his seat: "You've come to the wrong place. You can't afford the star sand here."
"You've come to the wrong place."
The person who had been standing behind the blue-skinned giant salamander stepped forward: "We need the highest purity star sand. Alliance coins are not a problem."
"Can we have a good talk?"
Yalu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the four people in front of him carefully.
As a businessman, he had no reason to miss any possible business.
Besides, a mere level 3 civilization would not dare to cause trouble in this place.
Thinking of this, Yalu nodded, scratched the ulcerated tumor with his claws, and stood up and walked to the corner of the counter.
"Come with me."
As he said, he gently pressed a hidden switch.
With a slight vibration, the ground that was originally tightly sealed slowly cracked, revealing a deep metal staircase inside.
...
Under the tower.
Standard-sized star sands were quietly displayed on the counter.
Under the illumination of the lights, the inner part of these azure star sands flickered with sparkling light. This mysterious and strange beauty deeply attracted Baroka's attention.
"Ahem!"
Chen Fan coughed lightly, awakening Baroka's somewhat confused mind, and then asked the big bird in front of him, "Sir, what's your name?"
"Just call me Yalu." Yalu replied softly.
Yalu?
Chen Fan's heart moved, and a trace of confusion emerged in his mind: I wonder what the relationship between this person and Yagao, who is responsible for the labor resource transaction?
Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's confusion, Baroka lowered his voice and explained in the communication channel: "The social system of the Bray civilization is the imperial system. The surname Ya is considered the royal surname in the Bray civilization. Almost all important work is done by people with the surname Ya."
"Five hundred billion alliance coins."
Yalu reported a number with an indifferent expression without any twists and turns: "My star sand here starts at 500 billion alliance coins. Can you accept it?"
Chen Fan had no idea about this.
Baroka, who was standing by, shook noticeably when he heard this number.
Five hundred billion Alliance coins!
It would take the entire Swamp Abyss civilization to sell to pay this huge sum of money, right? !
Chen Fan did not reply immediately.
He stared at Yaru's expression and movements, and could not help but frowning.
For some reason, Yaru's unusually calm demeanor brought back some bad memories to his mind - at that time, the members of the Swamp Abyss Council seemed to be in the same state.
Could it be that...
the members of the Bray civilization were also controlled by nanomachines and thought stamps?
This incredible thought intensified in Chen Fan's mind!
Chen Fan swallowed lightly and gave Yi an order in his mind: 'Yi, prepare to release the nanomachines. '
After hearing Yi's response to his words, Chen Fan calmed down and said softly to Yaru, "Before buying the star sand, I have a question to ask you."
"...What?" Yaru frowned slightly.
To be honest, he regretted letting these poor country bumpkins from a low-level civilization enter this star sand warehouse.
Chen Fan raised his right hand calmly, stared at Yaru, and said word by word: "Can you tell me where the production base of these star sands is?"
As the voice fell, Chen Fan shouted: "One!"
"Do it!"
Wow!!!
The mechanical exoskeleton armor disguised as the life-support device of the Swamp suddenly opened, and the overwhelming silver-white nanomachines gushed out of it, rushing straight towards Yaru in front!!!
