299: Chapter 299

Once these words were spoken, the newly advanced mid-tier dwarf immediately fell silent.

With his current net worth, taking out 10 Tier 2 Extraordinary Crystals would be a stretch, let alone hundreds just for a single meal.

Eventually, the group was led by Captain Forgum into the offline Extraordinary trading market, and as they walked, he said, "This is the largest Tier 2 Extraordinary resource trading market in the entire southern part of the Sparse Star Domain."

"Look, many of these are characteristic resources produced by the Thirteen Heavens of the Truth-Seeking Ancient Sect."

The squad scanned the Divine Artifact fragments, metal Ores, incomplete machinery, and broken stone slabs displayed on both sides of the market as they walked.

Items with clear, practical functions were basically nowhere to be seen; the only things that could be placed offline were these kinds of items.

Just like the two Earth-element treasures their squad had encountered—the spirit soil and roof tile containing traces of Law aura—they wouldn't appear in an offline trading market like this, but would instead be traded through a transfer platform.

Although it required paying some extra handling fees, it saved a lot of trouble.

To ensure the authenticity of the items, no one would try to cut corners on Tier 2 resource transactions.

Therefore, coming here was just for browsing, to see if there was anything worth their eye, with everyone harboring the hope of finding an Opportunity by picking up a bargain.

Captain Forgum, walking at the front, was also quickly scanning the various incomplete fragments displayed in the shops on both sides.

Suddenly, a piece of metal fragment caught his attention.

Based on his years of experience forging Extraordinary artifacts, it was highly likely to be a fragment of a mid-tier Level 3 or higher weapon, and it was extremely compatible with his life-bound weapon, the Thunderfire War Hammer.

Thinking of this, a flash of shrewdness crossed Captain Forgum's broad face, and he immediately walked into the shop, pretending to browse while examining it carefully.

After some back-and-forth, he decided to buy it first.

"Sigh, this powerhouse of the Dwarf race, I really can't win against you."

"But this fragment is highly likely to be a weapon fragment from a deity who holds the authority of forging. Just this small piece of metal has reached mid-tier Level 3; selling it outside would fetch no less than 1500."

"The price you offered is too low."

However, when the shop owner saw Captain Forgum get up and leave without saying whether he wanted it or not, and then head straight across to look at similar weapon fragments, he immediately became anxious.

In the end, he agreed with a pained expression: "I'll sell it to you at a loss this time, consider it making a friend."

Under the admiring gazes of his teammates, Captain Forgum bought the weapon fragment for 1000 Tier 2 Crystals.

The Elf girl asked curiously: "Captain Forgum, a weapon fragment like this, even if sold just as Extraordinary metal, should be worth the price the shop owner mentioned, right?"

Captain Forgum put away the fragment, glanced at the shop owner who was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, and led his teammates forward, only explaining once they entered a sound-isolated zone.

"If it were just a simple Tier 2 Extraordinary metal, it would indeed have that value, but look."

As he spoke, he took out the palm-sized weapon fragment, on which flame-colored runes were distributed across the geometric surface, even maintaining some of its forging characteristics.

"These were caused by the infiltration of authority Laws possessed by the World Gods of the Truth-Seeking Ancient Sect."

"If you take it for specialized processing and recycling, I'm afraid the recycling cost alone would exceed 500 Tier 2 Low Grade Crystals."

"Only someone like me, who specializes in forging techniques and is extremely compatible with this type of Law authority, would find it useful."

"For others, even if bought for 1000, it would be a useless trinket."

The group listened to Captain Forgum's well-reasoned explanation and gained their own understanding of this trading market.

Finally, the group arrived at the official Human Federation shop.

The first floor here was also filled with various incomplete fragments, but this time they headed straight to the second floor, which was where complete treasures of the Tier 2 Level 1 level were stored.

As soon as they entered, they felt a powerful Formation domain covering them. The ceiling even had Taiyin Divine Light from a moon Magic Treasure, which was orbiting the planet and connected from somewhere unknown.

Even though the Taiyin Divine Light shining on their bodies caused no specific harm, it was enough to make them feel as if they were being watched by a terrifying existence at all times, not daring to touch any of the Tier 2 Level 1 Extraordinary items displayed and wrapped in Formation Restrictions.

A Puppet attendant saw the guests arrive and immediately began to explain: "Everyone, this floor stores seven unique and complete Tier 2 Level 1 Extraordinary items produced by the Truth-Seeking Ancient Sect."

"At the same time, our Human Federation also sells Tier 2 Level 1 Extraordinary interstellar warships, the [Dispelling Sentiment and Clearing Mist Yin Brilliance Lamp] which can efficiently resist the intrusion of chaotic emotional energy from the Dark Universe, and Tier 2 Level 1 mechanical Puppets."

Subsequently, the Puppet attendant led Captain Forgum and the other five, introducing in detail the functions and origins of each Extraordinary item.

They arrived at the edge of a fish-tank-like object, and inside the fish tank, there was a faintly visible suspended space with several metal platforms placed within it.

"This object has been clearly traced and confirmed to be an item from within the [Mortal Embryo Star Realm]."

"The technological civilization within it used extremely advanced spatial technology to carve out a large space. According to our current detection, it can hold 1000 cubic meters."

"Compared to a Storage Pouch that starts at 100,000 Low Grade Extraordinary Crystals and only has one cubic meter of space, it can be considered an essential item for home and travel."

The group looked at it; the price of this object was 19,999, which was indeed much cheaper than a Storage Pouch, and the space was much larger.

However, the 6 people present, having been able to advance to the mid-tier, were naturally not fools.

Something so cheap with such a large storage space that hasn't sold yet likely has some fatal flaw.

Therefore, the curious Elf girl asked the Puppet attendant: "Then what is wrong with this spatial equipment, why hasn't anyone bought it?"

The Puppet attendant replied stiffly: "According to current experimental data, this spatial equipment needs to be used and stored in an area without Extraordinary Laws. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause instability in the internal space, which in turn triggers a spatial storm, tearing apart the 1000 cubic meters of space it occupies."

Upon hearing this, the interest they initially had dropped by more than half instantly.

Carrying this thing requires purchasing equipment to isolate Extraordinary Laws, which is extremely inconvenient to use. If there is even a slight fight that causes the isolation equipment to break, it will trigger a Law leak; it can be said to be a ticking time bomb.

None of the people present had the spare money to buy such a thing.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the Puppet attendant said again.

"If you have the intention to purchase, our Human Federation also provides another solution. If you purchase it, you can request the highest speaker of the Federation, Immortal Master Tianhe, to specially craft a spatial stabilizer to avoid the influence of Extraordinary Laws."
