602: Zhang is a busybody

… Void Zone, Void Galaxy Star No. 1 trading area.

"How much do you want for this thing? Can you just give me a price already!"

Chen Heng stood in front of a stall, veins bulging on his forehead. The stall owner was cowering in his stall like a startled rabbit, not daring to make a sound.

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm here to buy things, not to specifically kill people."

"Trust me, whatever the price is, just tell me. Don't make me angry enough to crush you to death."

Chen Heng took a deep breath and issued a final ultimatum to the stall owner in front of him.

"10… 10 void gold?"

The trembling stall owner extended his sixty fingers, holding up ten as he asked.

"Are you sure? If that's really the price, I'll buy it."

Bai Jun had just taken a liking to a glowing Ore on this stall. They had searched for a long time before finding this particular stall.

However, it seemed that, apart from Chen Heng and his companions, no one else was interested in this stall.

"Big Brother, if you trust me, don't buy from him."

A bolder person walked over, looking at the stall owner with disdain.

"You're not afraid of me?" After walking for a long time, this was the first person who wasn't afraid of Chen Heng and dared to talk to him.

"Didn't you say it yourself? You're here to buy things, not to specifically kill people."

The person shrugged, showing no fear of Chen Heng at all.

"Since you're here to trade, then you're everyone's customer. I have an obligation not to let you get scammed."

"This guy is a notorious novice assassin, specializing in swindling beginners who want to find a bargain."

"The trading area is a mixed bag, full of the most cunning people. Who would give you a chance to find a bargain?"

"The stone you're looking at is clearly coated with a layer of unchanging paint. You need a specific decolorizing agent to wash off the color."

"This guy's scamming methods are too common; he can only fool novices like you."

With that, the person pulled out a small plastic bottle from their pocket, squeezed out some viscous liquid, and dripped it onto the Ore that Bai Jun had liked.

Sure enough, the glow quickly disappeared, revealing its true, pitch-black form underneath.

"..." Chen Heng looked at the pitch-black broken stone and suddenly began to wonder if Bai Jun's luck was having issues.

Or perhaps, Bai Jun's luck only worked on Heavenly Demon Star, and he became unlucky once he left Heavenly Demon Star.

"Hmm..." But then he thought, wasn't this the rhythm of acquiring a hidden treasure?

"I understand. 10 void gold, right?"

Chen Heng lightly snapped his fingers, and 10 void gold immediately appeared in the account of the stall owner who had been called a swindler.

This action by Chen Heng almost scared the stall owner to death. He thought Chen Heng was looking for an excuse to crush him.

"Take it. Aren't you fond of this thing?"

Chen Heng grabbed the pitch-black Ore and threw it directly to Bai Jun.

"Big Brother Chen..." Bai Jun actually felt that he might have misjudged it and that he had made Chen Heng spend money unnecessarily.

"We'll know when we try it back home. I still have faith in your luck."

Chen Heng patted Bai Jun's shoulder. Besides, 10 void gold wasn't expensive. His account, thanks to the Tentacled Fatty's generosity, had already reached five figures.

However, this amount was still far from enough to qualify for entry into the Void Emperors Treasury exhibition and sales event.

Chen Heng hadn't been just idly strolling; he had already figured out how to get entry to the Void Emperors Treasury exhibition and sales event.

That was to have a cash reserve of nine figures… Well, based on Chen Heng's current assets, he was quite a bit short.

But fortunately, there was still a big fat pig waiting for Chen Heng to slaughter. Senluo Chamber of Commerce itself had entry qualifications, so their funds would naturally not be small.

As long as it wasn't all digital assets… No, digital assets didn't matter either. No one would choose money over their life… Or maybe not.

What if Senluo Chamber of Commerce was so stubborn that they chose money over life?

"We'll see then." Chen Heng shook his head. Anyway, he was only going to deal with Senluo Chamber of Commerce tonight, so there was still plenty of time.

A day in Void Galaxy was different from Heavenly Demon Star. Heavenly Demon Star had roughly twenty-four hours a day, but Void Galaxy had thirty-three hours a day.

That meant the Void Emperors Treasury exhibition and sales event would begin tomorrow night.

There was simply too much time.

"You..." The person who had just tried to persuade Chen Heng sighed when he saw Chen Heng still spending that unnecessary money.

"Isn't this just wasting money? Although 10 void gold isn't much, it shouldn't be spent on people like that."

"Let's go, see if there's anything else you're interested in."

Chen Heng completely ignored the person. He could spend his money however he wanted.

If he was happy, even if he used it as toilet paper, it had nothing to do with them.

"Thank you for earlier. What do you want?"

However, Chen Heng wasn't the kind of beast who would bite the hand that helped him.

Although there wasn't much difference from not helping… "Want what?" The person was stunned for a moment, seemingly taken aback by Chen Heng's question.

"I don't want anything. I just don't like him scamming people and ruining the reputation of the trading area."

"You all should also be more careful. There are too many swindlers in the trading area; I can't keep an eye on you all the time."

The person waved his hand and turned to leave after speaking.

"I always feel like this guy has some unspoken motive…"

Luo Shuo looked at the person's retreating back with suspicious eyes.

"Alright. I don't feel any threatening Qi from him. Maybe he really is a warm-hearted person."

Chen Heng didn't care about the person's motives, as long as they posed no threat to them.

"Let's stroll around some more. I see it's quite lively up ahead…"

Luo Shuo seemed to have been attracted by something, leading Chen Heng and the others towards the crowd not far away… In a corner of the trading area, the person from earlier took off his hat.

His originally ordinary appearance disappeared, and a waterfall of azure blue long hair fell over his shoulders.

"Empress, your actions just now were truly too dangerous."

The wall beside the Empress twisted, and a man in full heavy armor emerged from it.

"Was it very dangerous?"

The Empress smiled at the man, asking back with a hint of knowing amusement.

"I think that person was quite good, it's just that his unwillingness to listen to advice made him a bit unlikable."
