"At the price you mentioned, you don't need me to provide the raw materials, right?" Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.
Logically speaking, when two parties are doing business and negotiating prices, asking such a question is a very basic mistake, but Lin Yun couldn't help but ask it anyway.
Because he couldn't believe that happiness came so easily. He was certain that once he found a market for this power bank, he wouldn't have to worry about sales. He could earn tens of thousands of yuan in just over an hour, and more than a million yuan in a day. This was the money he had worked hard to save over the years. Even in Shenzhen, a city full of wealthy people, very few people could make money at this speed.
"No need, the materials needed for this product are very basic and not worth much," the other party replied.
"Can you make it any cheaper?" Lin Yun finally returned to a businessman's mindset and asked again.
"Hehe, you're a newbie, right?" the other person laughed.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun paused for a moment and asked.
He didn't know what the other person meant, nor did he know whether letting the other person know that he was a newcomer would be detrimental to him.
“You don’t need to worry about anything. The reason I can tell you’re a newbie is because in the Cosmic Trading System, sellers give you hints when newbies buy things. It’s clear you’re a very smart newbie. I’ve had the Cosmic Trading System for over a thousand years and have encountered many newbies. Many of them start by buying products that are far more advanced than their civilization’s, but you’re not like that…” the other person said with a smile.
"And then?" Lin Yun asked.
"Then many of them never showed up again. I guess many of them died..." the other person said.
"..."
Lin Yun remained silent.
"Then what?"
After a moment, Lin Yun asked again.
"My name is Xinglan. Let's be friends. I'll give you 0.8 spirit energy points for every thousand products you buy. How about it?" the other person said with a smile.
“Okay, produce a thousand first. We’ll probably need a lot more later. When can you deliver them?” Lin Yun thought for a moment and replied directly.
He had browsed other listings for similar communication equipment production lines from the Galan Civilization. The price offered here was relatively cheap, and based on their conversation, he felt that the seller wasn't overcharging for the power bank.
Anyway, he'd already made a huge profit at the current price, so he didn't bother to haggle anymore.
“A thousand? Because we need to prepare materials, it will take a little longer. According to your local time, it will take about an hour. After that, production will be much easier. One production line can produce about 50,000 products a day. If you need more, I can open more production lines, but that's not cost-effective. I suggest that when you have enough Spirit Crystals, you buy some production lines and produce them yourself.” Xinglan thought for a moment and said.
A thousand power banks can be made in an hour?
This speed surprised Lin Yun once again.
However, considering that the other party was a highly technologically advanced civilization, Lin Yun accepted the offer.
The other party's subsequent suggestions also made Lin Yun feel more favorably toward them.
“Okay, let’s make the deal in an hour,” Lin Yun replied.
The cosmic trading system has intelligent monitoring, so he doesn't need to place orders in advance.
“No problem. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. You can also sell me any local specialties you have there. I guarantee I will give you a very reasonable price. When you have free time, you can browse the information on the various sections of the Cosmic Trading System to see the prices of various items and also see what local specialties you have that are suitable for sale.” Xing Lan nodded.
"Okay, thanks for reminding me," Lin Yun replied telepathically.
After their conversation ended, Lin Yun went back into the Golden Dragon Building.
Currently, the Cosmic Trading System only has 0.71 points of spiritual energy. Since he left the Golden Dragon Building, the Cosmic Trading System's absorption rate of spiritual energy has decreased many times. If he wants to quickly collect 0.8 points of spiritual energy, he needs to re-enter the Golden Dragon Building.
The second floor of Jinlong Building.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Lin Yun stopped and frowned.
He discovered that when he was outside the Golden Dragon Building, the speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy decreased significantly. However, when he was on the second floor of the Golden Dragon Building, the speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy was faster than when he was on the first floor.
The number of people on both floors is actually about the same.
"I understand now. The Cosmic Trading System can absorb spiritual energy from the air within a 30-meter radius. It can absorb not only spiritual energy from the air in front, behind, left, and right, but also spiritual energy from the air above and below. No wonder the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy so slowly when I was outside, but so quickly inside the Golden Dragon Building..."
"Every floor of the Golden Dragon Building is packed with people. With thirty meters of floors combined, the number of people is unimaginable. How could the Cosmic Trading System not absorb spiritual energy quickly..."
Lin Yun realized.
The bottom few floors of the Jinlong Building are a bit taller, while the upper floors are about three meters high each.
When he was on the first floor, he could probably only absorb the spiritual energy from the air on the first to the eighth and ninth floors.
When he's on the second floor, he can absorb the spiritual energy from the air on the first to ninth and tenth floors. With each additional floor, the speed will naturally be faster.
Similarly, when he is on the third floor, the cosmic trading system will absorb spiritual energy from an even greater range.
The Golden Dragon Building has eighteen floors. When he was on the eighth or ninth floor, he could absorb the spiritual energy of almost all the floors.
With that in mind, Lin Yun decisively started walking upwards.
Sure enough, with each floor you went up, the speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy increased significantly.
By the time he reached the eighth floor, the speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy was already 30% faster than when he was on the third floor.
At the current rate, he estimated that the Cosmic Trading System could absorb one spiritual energy point in an hour.
"Unfortunately, it can only absorb a radius of thirty meters..."
Lin Yun sighed.
The Jinlong Building has several thousand square meters on each floor, and is about 100 meters long and 50 to 60 meters wide.
Within a radius of 30 meters, only one-sixth of the Jinlong Building can be covered.
If he could cover the entire area of the Golden Dragon Building, the speed at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbs spiritual energy would be five or six times faster.
"The Cosmic Trading System sells devices for absorbing and refining spiritual energy, but the prices are all too high; the cheapest one costs several thousand spiritual crystals..."
Lin Yun shook his head.
Thousands of spirit crystals... He can't even collect a single spirit crystal now...
Based on the current rate at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbs spiritual energy, it would take him about ten days to obtain one spiritual crystal. Several thousand spiritual crystals would take tens of thousands of days... or even a hundred years!
He'll be dead of old age by now, in a hundred years!
"However, I can not only absorb spiritual energy from the air using the Cosmic Trading System, but I can also sell Earth's specialties in exchange for spiritual crystals..."
The existence of the cosmic trading system is to allow resources from various civilizations to circulate among each other. It allows people to buy things from other civilizations, and other civilizations can also buy things from Earth. This is the significance of the cosmic trading system.
First, sell local specialties from Earth to accumulate enough spiritual crystals, then purchase equipment to absorb and refine spiritual energy. Finally, use the refined spiritual crystals to buy other things. This is a good approach.
However, I wonder what special products on Earth are suitable for sale.
Lin Yun pondered silently.
Xinglan is right; he should browse more information on the various sections of the Cosmic Trading System.
However, there's no rush. He'll take it one step at a time and focus on the task at hand first.
