236: Your Excellency, I am not qualified to serve you

However, despite his curiosity, Lin Yang didn't dare to directly ask the robotic butler.

The System had told him to act as if he had a background, so he certainly couldn't ask such a low-level question.

He could only note down the question and slowly try to find out more through subtle inquiries later.

Then, Lin Yang said to the robotic butler, “Take me to the arms trading market.”

“Certainly, Your Excellency, this way please.”

The robotic butler bowed slightly, guiding Lin Yang into the building's elevator from the rooftop parking area and entering the building's interior.

“Your Excellency, what level of weaponry would you like to purchase? I can take you to the corresponding sales floor,” the robotic butler asked again.

“I need… your Empire’s peak technological weapons!” Lin Yang looked directly into the mechanical eyes of robotic butler No. 10086.

The Robot was clearly stunned for a moment before bowing and saying, “Your Excellency, are you sure you want to purchase our Empire’s peak technological weapons?”

“Yes!” Lin Yang nodded without hesitation.

“Very well, Your Excellency, if you are certain, please follow me.”

The robotic butler pressed a new floor button and also pressed a button on his mechanical arm.

Soon, the elevator arrived.

As the elevator doors opened, a middle-aged man dressed somewhat like someone in a formal suit on Blue Star was already waiting. Upon seeing Lin Yang, he immediately bowed and said:

“Hello, esteemed Interstellar Traveler, welcome. I am Mo Sang, the Level One Supervisor of this arms market. I will take over from robotic butler No. 10086 as your private exclusive steward. It is an honor to serve you.”

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised. Another change of steward?

As if sensing his confusion, Mo Sang proactively said, “Esteemed Your Excellency, I heard you wish to purchase our Empire’s peak technological weapons. For weapons of this caliber, ordinary robotic butlers do not have the authority to conduct transactions. Please follow me to the VIP room to discuss further.”

“Oh…” Lin Yang followed Mo Sang’s guidance to the VIP room.

Mo Sang personally brewed Lin Yang a drink similar to tea and smiled, “May I ask what type of peak technological weapons Your Excellency wishes to purchase?”

“Here, take a look yourself.” Lin Yang did not answer directly but instead pulled out a list.

The list contained the items the System had instructed him to purchase this time.

In addition to some peak technological weapons, there were also some resources.

As Mo Sang took the list and continued to read, his expression grew increasingly solemn. By the time he finished reviewing the entire list, his demeanor was extremely grave, and his voice became somewhat unnatural as he asked with utmost seriousness and caution:

“E-esteemed Your Excellency, are you sure you want to purchase so many peak technological weapons and resources at once?”

“Is there a problem?” Lin Yang countered instead of answering.

“N-no, none, it’s just that the large-scale peak destroyer cannons and several other types of peak technological weapons you require are SS-grade items. I do not have the authority to conduct direct transactions with you. If you are certain you need them, I will need to report to my superior.”

Mo Sang immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, expressing his apology.

“What a hassle. Such a small amount of items, yet it’s so troublesome,” Lin Yang immediately feigned an impatient frown.

Mo Sang, who had not yet straightened up, instantly bent even lower and apologized, “My apologies, esteemed Your Excellency, for providing you with a very poor shopping experience. Please forgive me!”

“Forget it, just report quickly. I’m in a hurry. Can you give me a definite answer?” Lin Yang waved his hand.

“Very well, please wait a moment, I will be right back!” Mo Sang exited the VIP room, still bowing.

After Mo Sang left, Lin Yang silently communicated with the System: “How was it? Was my act alright?”

“Mediocre, but for you, Host, entering another high-tech civilization’s empire for the first time, it was already excellent!”

The System praised him generously.

Lin Yang then couldn't help but say, “Speaking of which, I want to buy so many arms, but from beginning to end, neither that Robot nor this Mo Sang asked to verify my assets. I said I wanted to buy, and they seemed to assume I had the capital to buy. Aren’t they afraid I’m here to cause trouble?”

He was a bit confused. Let alone purchasing so many arms.

Even buying a house worth tens of millions on Blue Star required asset verification.

But here, there was no asset verification?

“Host, you forgot, System said that you don’t need to say anything, Apocalypse will speak for you!”

“...Is Apocalypse that powerful?” Lin Yang expressed doubt.

But the System did not offer any further explanation.

At the same time, on the other side, after Mo Sang exited the VIP room, he immediately rushed to another office, pressed a button, and then respectfully bowed his head towards the rising screen and said:

“Chief Steward Ster, Level One Supervisor Mo Sang has an urgent matter to report to you and requests permission for a call.”

Then, he maintained that posture, waiting.

It wasn’t until more than ten seconds later that a deep voice came out: “Level One Supervisor Mo Sang, you have used your once-a-month skip-level reporting authority. If the matter you are about to report is deemed non-compliant, you will be subject to corresponding penalties. Now, please state the urgent matter you need to report.”

At the same time, a middle-aged man in black appeared on the screen in front of Mo Sang, staring at Mo Sang through the screen.

“Chief Steward Ster, I have received a special VIP guest who wishes to purchase our nation’s peak technological weapons, including multiple SS-grade peak technological weapons and some controlled scarce resources. The value exceeds my highest authority, and also exceeds the highest transaction authority held by a top-level supervisor. Therefore, I am reporting to you via skip-level!”

Mo Sang lowered his head, reporting in a very fast tone.

After he finished speaking, Chief Steward Ster was noticeably silent for a moment before continuing: “Oh? Wants to purchase multiple SS-grade peak technological weapons and controlled scarce resources of the Empire?”

“Yes! This is the list of items the other party requested! Please review it!” Mo Sang directly uploaded the list Lin Yang had just given him.

“Have the assets been verified? Has the other party’s origin been checked? Does the other party have the financial capability to purchase?” Ster glanced at the list, his eyes narrowing slightly, and asked three rapid-fire questions.

Upon hearing this, Mo Sang’s body suddenly trembled, and a dense layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Ster’s gaze visibly sharpened: “Mo Sang, you wouldn’t have come to report without even verifying the other party’s assets, would you?”

“I… Chief Steward Ster, forgive me!”

Mo Sang instantly knelt down on one knee, speaking rapidly:

“Mo Sang knows his sin, for not strictly following procedures. The other party came from the high-level spaceship docking area. According to the registration information from robotic butler No. 10086 in the high-level spaceship docking area, the spaceship the other party is riding is an extremely precious comprehensive-type spaceship, and it is the extremely rare Apocalypse comprehensive-type spaceship!”

At this point, Mo Sang gritted his teeth and continued to explain: “After entering the VIP room, the other party directly gave me that list and said he was in a hurry, so… so I didn’t quite dare to directly ask to verify the other party’s specific identity information.”

After speaking, Mo Sang directly knelt down on both knees and said again: “It is Mo Sang’s oversight, please Chief Steward Ster, forgive me!”

“Hmm? It’s the Apocalypse comprehensive-type spaceship?”

A hint of surprise emerged in Chief Steward Ster’s deep voice, and he immediately pulled up robotic butler No. 10086’s service information.

After seeing the footage of Lin Yang walking out of Apocalypse, the coldness in his eyes instantly dissipated, turning into a smile:

“Very good, Mo Sang, you did very well. Facing such a high-level VIP, directly asking to verify the other party’s asset information is a very impolite thing to do!”

“Next, I will personally provide service to this esteemed VIP. I will arrive within five minutes. You must serve the esteemed VIP well!”
