NOVPUBThat was a two percent decrease.
A standard price of seventy billion meant a decrease of fourteen billion Spirit Crystals. This wasn’t a small cut.
In over a year that Lin Yun had spent on the planet Tianzhu, he hadn’t earned four billion Spirit Crystals. This significant amount was why he originally negotiated a two percent price difference.
"Thank you. When doing business, I prefer familiarity. If there are more opportunities to trade in the future, I will naturally come to you. However, by then, we may need to change this robot’s image." Lin Yun spoke with a mild smile.
"That’s fine, that’s fine." The owner responded with a smile.
He prioritized image, but if the profit were substantial, he wouldn’t mind putting his principles aside.
After all, taking a two percent loss for the sake of image could be seen as a promotional strategy, right?
Competition was fierce for business on the Galactic Trading System. He was too embarrassed to overtly lower the price, so he used this method instead. No one from the same field could say anything about it.
Many owners of Galactic Trading System, in order to purchase a robot of this grade, would sell everything they had. Who would care about image then?
Spending billions of Spirit Crystals for an image? Either they were a wealthy tycoon or a fool!
But, if a wealthy tycoon came to his store to buy a robot and he insisted on maintaining his so-called image, he would be the fool!
There’s only so much business he could do. If he didn’t make this money, someone else would!
Once you reach his level of power, expenses are massive. He was still strapped for cash!
"Hum—" A hum sound arrived.
Not long after, a ripple in space appeared in Lin Yun’s trading center.
A man dressed in red, similar in appearance to Yang One, appeared in the trading center, except this new man had a distinctly different aura.
"I shall name you...Yang Two!" Lin Yun waved his hand and released the man in red, saying so with a smile.

"Thank you for the name, Master!" Yang Two thanked him while saluting. He had a very respectful tone.
"Tenth Level Peak…"
Upon witnessing this scene, the people accompanying Lin Yun could not help but draw in a cold breath.
Especially Star Blue, he knew very well how much a robot with the strength of a Tenth Level Peak Martial Artist was worth.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yun had just bought a robot with the strength of Mid-Tenth Level Martial Artists and then bought another with Tenth Level Peak Martial Artist strength. The standard prices of these two robots together was one hundred billion Spirit Crystals.
Even though Lin Yun didn’t pay exactly that number of Spirit Crystals, it didn’t differ by much.
Having access to the Galactic Trading System for over a thousand years, he’d learned some information. Supposedly, the lower-grade robots were more negotiable in price with the owners. The higher the grade of the robot, the harder it was to negotiate the price, especially robots that had the strength of Tenth Level Cultivators.
The prices were almost impossible to negotiate, leading to many owners of the Galactic Trading System voicing their complaints on several platforms.
At the moment, the three battleships in star space were almost at the Tianzhu star.
The signals from these three battleships hadn’t really been shielded and could easily be detected by the scanning devices on Tianzhu star.
Fang Ao teleported back to their three battleships early.
If Lin Yun and his team hadn’t realized that someone infiltrated the Tianzhu star so early, they might think that the enemies were overly self-confident.
Just then, the trio of battleships in the stars sent a communication signal to Lin Yun’s battleship that was located on the Tianzhu star. Lin Yun agreed to the communication.
"We are from Fang Keqing’s fleet of the Kodis Empire, may I ask who you are? You dare invade the home star of Fang Keqing, you have quite the guts!" As soon as the communication devices from the two fleets connected, a voice projected out.
The language spoken wasn’t native to Tianzhu star, but the universal language of the galaxy. Since Lin Yun and his team had learned it, they naturally understood it.
"Is this your planet? Our people just arrived and were framed by the people on your planet. Don’t blame us for being impolite if this is the case! Furthermore, the law of the galaxy states that winner takes all. If you cannot accept it, then come at us!" Lin Yun huffed coldly as he spoke.
"Boom—" During this conversation, the battleship carrying Lin Yun and his team had already ascended into the sky.
The body of a high-tier battleship from a level six civilization was quite nimble. In only a second, it entered the starry sky and headed towards the enemy.
...
"Looking at their battleship’s model, it doesn’t look like a battleship from the Kodis Empire. I heard that our leader is a client of the Kodis Empire, but they showed no response. Could they be strangers to this Star Domain?"
In the starry sky, inside one of the top-tier battleships from a level six civilization, Fang Ao’s subordinate furrowed his eyebrows as he spoke.
Even though not all clients of the Kodis Empire were Tenth Level Cultivators and rather a large majority of them were high-level Ninth Cultivators, hearing their names wouldn’t leave the local forces of the Star Domain indifferent.
"Just one top-tier battleship from a level six civilization daring to actively engage with our three top-tier battleships from a level six civilization, is it because they are depending on their two Ninth-Level Martial Artists?" Fang Ao narrowed his eyes, speculating.
A martial artist at the Ninth Level could give them a significantly large amount of damage, especially when up close—this was the reason why high-level martial artists were highly valued.
As Lin Yun and his team’s battleship set off, the distance between the two fleets was closing rapidly.
"The distance between us is about to reach the range of our weapons. The others haven’t moved yet, they must not have a Tenth level cultivator. They truly want to achieve victory by getting up close..."
A few minutes later, Fang Ao drew in a deep breath, whispering to himself.
"Let’s wait some more. The moment our battleship opens fire, and they still haven’t sent out any cultivators, I will go and obliterate the enemy!" Pausing for a moment, Fang Ao made up his mind.
As a Tenth Level Cultivator, he could easily bypass the defences of a battleship from a level six civilization, teleporting onto the enemy’s battleship. Once there were no enemies of his level on that battleship, the fate of the battleship was almost entirely in his hands.
This was a Tenth Level Cultivator’s value to a level six civilization’s battleship. This was also why the Kodis Empire valued Tenth Level Cultivators so much.
"Still waiting to take action? They really are patient…"
On the other side, Lin Yun watched this scene and was slightly taken aback.
He knew very well that the other side had a Tenth Level Cultivator, and they held off until now, their patience was extraordinary.
"Maybe this is the reason they managed to cultivate to the Tenth Level?" Lin Yun muttered thoughtfully.
He had found out about the Kodis Empire on the Galactic Trading System and learned about the status of Tenth Level Cultivators in this Star Domain during their research.
Just five hundred years ago, this enemy had jumped from a Middle-Ninth Level to an Initial-Tenth Level Cultivator. It was clear that their existence was not a simple one. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"Tss—tss—tss—" Eventually, the three battleships in Fang Ao’s possession reached the range for Lin Yun’s weapons. Lin Yun’s battleships fired their energy cannons first, sending a thick cloud of energy rods towards the enemy’s battleships at light speed, looking like shooting stars.
Even though they belonged to the same category, Lin Yun’s battleships had a longer range of attack.
After all, Lin Yun’s battleship was bought from the Galactic Trading System; every single parameter had to meet a strict standard.
The equipment to manufacture these battleships employed various technologies, not just those from a level six civilization. Some were high-quality technologies from other level six civilizations, and some were even technologies from higher levels of civilization.
After all, if your battleship had no distinguishing features, it wouldn’t sell very well on the Galactic Trading System.
The attack range was an important parameter. Naturally, the attack range of Lin Yun’s battleship was not mediocre.
