Lin Yun had already chosen a seller, and after making his decision, he quickly selected to buy and then made the payment.
Next, he waited for the robot of this level to be teleported over.
A thousand spirit crystals... Don't think that Lin Yun's current cosmic trading system and the device for absorbing and refining spirit energy can't produce that many spirit crystals every day.
It should be noted that this is a special case on Earth.
Even if we were to exchange Earth's resources for spiritual crystals, Lin Yun would need to spend billions of Chinese yuan to purchase resources in exchange for so many spiritual crystals.
Buying a martial artist at the early stage of the Transformation Realm for billions of Chinese yuan is not expensive.
On Earth, how many of those masters of internal energy who are renowned in their region actually possess a net worth of billions?
Then there's Xinglan, the owner of that cosmic trading system.
Xinglan unified and gathered all the people of his civilization together. The cosmic trading system could only obtain one and a half spirit crystals per day. At this rate, it would take two years to buy a martial artist with the strength of the early stage of the Transformation Realm. The cost was not high.
If it were Xinglan, Lin Yun estimated that Xinglan would rather train martial artists of this level herself. In fact, this is the practice of many owners of universe trading systems.
It's not that they don't want to buy robots of this level, or even more advanced ones, but they're too expensive.
Buying a few is fine, but buying in bulk is not something most people can afford.
If a person's strength increases, they will provide more spiritual energy. If the robot is purchased but not used, it will be a waste.
A cheap, ordinary spaceship, regardless of its strength or capabilities, can still fly into space, and it only requires ten thousand spiritual crystals.
Thinking about it this way, you can see how expensive a thousand spiritual crystals are.
Only Lin Yun could be so capricious, deciding on this matter in just a few minutes.
In the early or even later stages of development for other universe trading system owners, it would be perfectly normal for them to deliberate for ten days or half a month before purchasing such a "big-ticket" item.
"Buzz—"
About a minute later, Lin Yun felt a fluctuation coming from the trading space, and a middle-aged man in black appeared in it.
Lin Yun designed the robot to resemble a middle-aged man, fearing that if it were too young, its strength would be too astonishing.
To be honest, Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the middle-aged man in black.
Because this robot looks so natural in its every move, it's just like a real person.
Without comparison, there is no difference. Lin Yun thought the "advanced" robot he bought earlier was already very lifelike, but after seeing this robot, he realized how inferior the robot he bought earlier was.
Just like someone who is used to using a bad phone suddenly using a good one, or someone who usually uses a broken computer suddenly using a good one, they will find a clear difference.
Perhaps the gap is even larger.
Because the robots he previously purchased could only be considered level one robots, products of level one civilization technology.
This robot has reached level three, a product that only a level three civilization with advanced technology can produce.
The difference in technological content between the two is more than just one level.
"Master!" Outside, the middle-aged man in black greeted Lin Yun respectfully the moment he saw him.
"Don't call me master, call me... um, Young Master Lin!" Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
The master felt awkward and it didn't fit the current era. If a Grandmaster of Internal Energy called him master, it would be too low a status and seem rather fake. He thought of how some people address young people of higher status.
As he finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
A master of internal energy called him Young Master Lin, which was a very prestigious thing to do.
“I’ll give you a name, you’ll be called… Lin Tian!” Lin Yun said after a pause.
It wouldn't be good for a Grandmaster of Internal Energy to not have a name. Lin Tian is a very ordinary name. However, Lin Yun plans to name the robots of this level Lin Di, Lin Xuan, and Lin Huang if he buys more.
The name is "Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow," which sounds extraordinary, very special, and easy to remember.
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Young Master Lin!" The middle-aged man in black nodded slightly, his expression and tone extremely cold.
This is also the personality bias Lin Yun chose. He is not quite sure how similar this level of robot is to a real person, so by appearing a bit indifferent, he can avoid being noticed.
It's perfectly normal for experts and masters to be a bit aloof.
"Let me see your strength!"
Then, Lin Yun said.
He was honestly very curious about just how strong a Grandmaster was.
"start!"
The two stood in their respective positions, and Lin Yun spoke.
"Bang--"
The next moment, Lin Yun's body flew backward and crashed hard into the wall behind him.
At the same time, Lin Yun's blood and qi surged violently, and his body felt like it was falling apart.
After a while, Lin Yun got up from the ground, feeling extremely horrified.
This robot is moving way too fast!
He had just noticed the signs of the other party's attack, but he had no time to react!
Is this... the power of a Grandmaster?
If so, that would be terrifying!
"You really only have the strength of the early stage of the Transformation Realm?" Lin Yun took a deep breath and asked in disbelief.
“Yes, my strength, if converted to martial arts realm, is at the early stage of Transformation Realm. In order not to hurt Young Master Lin, I only used 30% of my strength when I hit Young Master Lin just now. I didn’t expect Young Master Lin to have protective equipment on him…” Lin Tian nodded and said.
This is the power of advanced intelligence; it knew that Lin Yun wanted to spar with it, so when it attacked Lin Yun, it automatically held back a certain amount of its strength.
At the same time, he also does things he "didn't expect," almost like the way real people think.
"This strength is just too great!" Lin Yun shook his head and said with a slight wry smile.
He was wearing protective gear, and his opponent was only using 30% of their power, yet they still managed to beat him up like this. He really underestimated the strength of a Grandmaster.
Of course, even if the opponent used all their strength, they couldn't hurt him too badly, because the opponent's way of fighting was ultimately different from that of a true grandmaster. The opponent couldn't unleash that kind of internal force unique to martial artists, which Lin Yun already knew. Even if the opponent could use special energy to simulate this kind of "internal force," it was still not the same. As long as it wasn't the same, his protective gear would be very effective in protecting him.
His protective gear had several modes activated, targeting attacks that were not life-threatening or intended to severely injure him, but rather aimed at weakening, not neutralizing, them. This was also to prevent him from being completely unresponsive when attacked by someone with overwhelming force; that would be too unrealistic.
If the robot had used its full strength, his protective gear would have absorbed even more of the attack, so he would be fine. That's why he felt safe sparring with the robot earlier.
However, this is the same robot. If it were replaced by a real martial artist, the result would be different.
The martial artist's internal energy had no effect whatsoever on his protective gear.
It is said that the internal strength of a Grandmaster of Transformation is extremely powerful; if the same force were applied, he would probably not be able to withstand it.
In retrospect, it was the right decision not to fight the black-haired old man last time and instead use a scheme to kill him. If they had fought, the situation would have been out of control, and he might have even been in real danger.
The strength of someone at the peak of Dark Force should not be too much different from that of someone at the early stage of Transformation Force.
