245: This is an order!
“Host, he is a Wu Cang Clan slave, in the cage in the northeast corner. Hurry and buy him, then immediately leave this place and return to Blue Star!”
The System’s voice carried a hint of urgency and pleasant surprise.
Following the System’s guidance, Lin Yang saw the Wu Cang Clan slave.
It was a young man, appearing to be just barely an adult, with incredibly fair skin all over his body, but he had clearly been whipped, his body covered in whip marks.
At this moment, the young man hung his head, his breathing shallow, confined in a cage, and like the slaves in other cages, he had no price marked.
Lin Yang noticed many needle marks on his arm, unsure what kind of torture he had endured.
“What’s special about this Wu Cang Clan slave?” Lin Yang inquired.
He truly couldn't see any difference between this slave and the others; if there was one, it was his remarkably fair skin.
But that shouldn’t count as special, right?
“Host, don’t ask yet, buy him first, and leave immediately after buying!” The System urged again!
“Hmm? Why are you so anxious?”
It was Lin Yang’s first time seeing the System so urgent.
This made him a little surprised.
However, he didn’t ask further and immediately called the nearest manager, stating he wanted to buy this Wu Cang Clan slave.
He still had absolute trust in the System.
Since it was so urgent for him to buy this Wu Cang Clan slave, there must be a reason.
The manager, hearing he wanted to buy this young Wu Cang Clan slave, immediately began to praise him:
“Esteemed guest, you have excellent judgment. This slave is truly extraordinary. He is a new race of slave we discovered. His blood production rate is three times faster than normal people. Buying him back would be a huge profit, like a blood-producing machine. You’ll recover your investment in no time.”
“Cut the nonsense, how much!” Lin Yang coldly interrupted the manager.
The manager’s words were nothing more than an attempt to get a good price.
“Ahem, this slave is also the first of his kind we’ve encountered; he’s a new species, so the price is relatively high. If the esteemed guest is sincere, one hundred million crimson thunder currency will suffice!”
The manager, though interrupted, wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he smiled and held out a finger.
“One hundred million?”
Lin Yang glanced at the manager, snorting coldly: “Even a Ni people female slave only costs ten million. You want one hundred million for this thing?”
“Esteemed guest, this is a new species of slave after all, and this slave’s blood regeneration function is three times faster than normal, possessing immense research value,” the manager explained.
“Heh heh, if he truly had immense value, you wouldn’t be selling him,” Lin Yang scoffed.
Although he didn’t understand the slave trade in the universe, he understood human nature.
A newly discovered special slave, if truly possessing unique value, why would the people in this slave market directly put him up for sale?
They would surely have kept and utilized this Wu Cang Clan slave to make money themselves.
This was just the manager’s trick to raise the price.
The manager, hearing this, still smiled and said: “Then, esteemed guest, how much do you wish to offer?”
“Twenty million.” Lin Yang held up two fingers.
The manager’s expression slightly changed: “Esteemed guest, your bargaining is a bit too fierce, isn’t it? This price definitely cannot be sold. This is…”
Lin Yang glanced at the manager, and without waiting for him to finish, directly interrupted him: “Twenty million, settled in star crystal.”
This price was naturally also told to him by the System. Although the System was eager for him to buy, it didn’t want to appear too eager, lest it be seen as abnormal and lead to price gouging.
These slave market managers were all shrewd individuals; if one showed too much eagerness, they would not sell easily.
Bargaining was part of the normal process.
“Twenty million is too low… Uh… sorry, esteemed guest, what did you say? Settled in star crystal?”
The manager subconsciously was about to bargain again, but then he suddenly shivered, looking at Lin Yang in disbelief.
What did he hear?
Settled in star crystal?
“Yes, settled in star crystal,” Lin Yang gave a definite answer, leisurely saying: “Twenty million crimson thunder currency, all settled in star crystal. If you sell, we’ll do the paperwork immediately. If not, then…”
“Sell! Esteemed guest, sell, sell, sell!”
This time, it was the manager’s turn to interrupt Lin Yang, frantically indicating he would sell on the spot!
Then, as if afraid Lin Yang would change his mind, he immediately invited Lin Yang to the VIP room and completed the procedures with unprecedented speed.
He didn’t even collect the money first!
Only after all the procedures were completed did the manager say with a fawning expression: “Esteemed guest, thank you for your generosity. All the procedures you requested have been completed!”
“Bring the slave to my Apocalypse to get the star crystal.” Lin Yang put away the documents and stood up directly.
“Yes, yes!” The manager called a Robot to escort the young Wu Cang Clan slave and personally followed Lin Yang to the Apocalypse’s cargo hold.
Upon seeing the Apocalypse, the manager couldn’t help but exclaim: “Praise the Red Thunder Emperor, to meet a master like you, it truly is this kid’s luck!”
Lin Yang didn’t waste words with him, coldly saying: “This transaction needs to be confidential!”
“As you command, esteemed guest!” The manager immediately bowed, then voluntarily brought up a confidentiality agreement and signed it.
This kind of confidentiality agreement was a method used in the market to reassure customers.
As long as the customer requested it, a confidentiality agreement would be automatically generated, controlled by the Red Thunder Empire’s intelligent system. If there was any leak, the transacting personnel would be punished.
It could be said to be somewhat useful.
Lin Yang glanced at it, turned and entered the Apocalypse, then activated the Apocalypse, directly rushing out of Guiyun Star and beginning its return journey.
“System, now can you tell me what’s special about this Wu Cang Clan slave?”
After leaving Guiyun Star, Lin Yang asked while releasing the young Wu Cang Clan slave from the cage.
He wasn’t worried about the slave harming him. Firstly, all slaves had been tortured and trained by the slave market through inhuman methods, having long lost their hostility.
Secondly, when they were captured and became slaves, special intelligent chip devices were placed in their brains and hearts.
The chips contained extremely strong currents.
Once a slave dared to act in a way that would harm the buyer, the buyer only needed to give an order, and the chip would instantly release a large amount of current to stun the slave.
As for a sneak attack?
That wouldn’t work either.
The dual chips in the brain and heart could monitor the slave’s physical reactions at any time. Once an abnormal state was detected, an alarm would automatically be issued to remind the buyer and, depending on the situation, restrict the slave’s mobility.
It was under this double insurance that the slave market in the universe became so prosperous.
Released from the cage by Lin Yang, the young Wu Cang Clan slave did not immediately get up, but knelt on the ground, trembling: “Cang Miao greets master.”
Lin Yang’s expression was a bit strange.
As a good young man educated in the new era, the title of ‘master’ made Lin Yang feel awkward: “You’re called Cang Miao, right? Don’t call me master from now on. You can call me Big Brother, or… Commander.”
“Ma… Master, isn’t that inappropriate…” Cang Miao was momentarily stunned.
“This is an order!”
Lin Yang looked at Cang Miao.
Cang Miao’s eyes became complex, then under Lin Yang’s gaze, he nodded: “Yes, Ma… Commander.”
He didn’t dare to use the somewhat intimate title of Big Brother.
Lin Yang nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Cang Miao, who was shirtless, and said: “There’s a living area in the Apocalypse. Go take a bath and change into clean clothes first, then come back.”
“Yes, Commander.” Cang Miao then got up and, following the guidance of the Apocalypse’s intelligent system, went to the living area.
The System also began to explain Cang Miao’s special nature to Lin Yang at this time.
Thanks to fellow reader 2021030175262318232 for the reward, Big Brother, you’ve spent a lot, I wish you all the best and great wealth, I bow to you!
Thanks to all brothers and sisters, I wish you all wealth, I bow to you all!
