288: armor

Instead of answering Falor directly with words, Tore showed him his intentions with actions.

Eight yuan crystals, eighty thousand yuan coins, were paid directly, completely finalizing the deal.

After all this, Tore said casually, "I've already paid for the slave space primal stone. You just need to give it to me."

On the surface, Tore was calm, but inside, he was incredibly panicked.

He was now extremely afraid.

Extremely afraid that before this transaction was completed, the Lotus Slave Market would have already discovered their mistake.

And directly retract that terrifying reward.

And Tore would, as a result, be sent back to his original state, once again becoming that pauper who couldn't even afford twelve hundred yuan coins.

Under Tore's gaze, Falor walked step by step towards the slave space primal stone he had longed for.

With Tore's extremely nervous expression, Falor came over with the slave space primal stone he had longed for.

And directly placed it in Tore's hand.

Although he was shocked as to why Tore had transformed so quickly from a pauper who couldn't afford a Slave bracelet into a rich man who could afford a slave space primal stone.

But since Tore had already paid, Falor naturally wouldn't do anything extra.

As a Slave belonging to the Lotus Slave Market, he knew very well what he should do.

Looking at the slave space primal stone within reach, Tore finally couldn't hold back and snatched it.

Not only did he snatch it, but he also directly pressed the slave space primal stone into his single eye.

As if sensing Tore's single eye, the slave space primal stone also changed.

The originally incredibly hard primal stone directly turned into a liquid and flowed into Tore's single eye.

It must be said that the slave space primal stone is truly a magical treasure.

It can easily grant Space-type abilities to Cosmic Beasts who were originally unable to master them.

If it weren't for the restriction that it can only store Slaves, it would absolutely not be so cheap.

Feeling the unique power swirling in his single eye, Tore finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had not only obtained a spatial item that could store Slaves.

But also obtained a spatial item far superior to a Slave bracelet.

With a thought, the two spider-men beside him were instantly taken into the Slave space.

Tore once again returned to his solitary beast state.

Escape from here?

Find a place where no beast can discover him and hide.

Until the Lotus Slave Market completely forgot about this matter, allowing him to successfully freeload ten yuan crystals?

No, he must use the remaining two yuan crystals as well.

The timid starve, the bold get fat.

Tore instantly changed his original mind.

Since he had already decided to take a risk, why not go for a big one?

What's more, spending eight yuan crystals and ten yuan crystals faced the exact same outcome.

Thinking of this, Tore no longer had any intention of leaving, but instead turned and returned to the Lotus Slave Market.

He planned to purchase some more Slaves for a final, frantic shopping spree... On the other side, Lin Tianwei was very satisfied with the two Slaves he had chosen.

One Slave was naturally Kong Ling, whom Lin Tianwei had previously favored.

As a Slave with a decent Talent, Kong Ling naturally gained Lin Tianwei's favor.

As long as he killed her, Lin Tianwei would be able to obtain the Space-type Talent from Kong Ling.

Then, through the upgrade of Talent fragments, he would elevate this Space-type Talent to a terrifying level.

It must be said that the Talent extraction system is truly overpowered.

It can make Slaves, who are worthless in the eyes of others, multiply in value for Lin Tianwei.

Other Cosmic Beasts couldn't even imagine that Lin Tianwei could obtain a powerful and growth-capable Space-type Talent by spending only one hundred thousand yuan crystals.

One must know that even a basic Space-type ability scroll is worth over a hundred yuan crystals.

This was also why Lin Tianwei chose to expose himself and act decisively.

Nothing else.

Kong Ling was worth this price.

As for the other Slave, it was a Slave carefully chosen by Lin Tianwei to increase his defensive power.

A Mech Clan Slave named Kai.

That's right, the Lotus Slave Market has extensive business, including Mech Clan Slaves in addition to Cosmic Beast Slaves.

This Mech Clan Slave named Kai already possessed Star-level Seven strength.

And even had an advanced defensive Talent.

Stacked together, he could even withstand attacks from Star-level Eight powerhouses.

Not only that, the Mech Clan, after all, is not the same as the flesh and blood bodies of Cosmic Beasts.

He could completely change his form according to Lin Tianwei's requirements.

He could even transform into armor that could protect Lin Tianwei's body, providing Lin Tianwei with terrifying defensive power comparable to Star-level Eight.

Not only that, Kai's versatility was not limited to this.

He could even be used by Lin Tianwei as a spaceship.

In other words, after acquiring Kai, Lin Tianwei could completely abandon his previous extremely rudimentary manual spaceship.

This was also why Lin Tianwei took a liking to Kai.

However, while Kai possessed powerful strength, he also had a fatal drawback.

That was energy.

Every action of the Mech Clan requires energy.

To unleash Kai's full power, he must be provided with sufficient energy.

Otherwise, Lin Tianwei would at best only acquire a seemingly powerful, but immobile, meat shield.

Most Cosmic Beasts, even if they could afford Kai, couldn't afford his high daily consumption.

So, in the universe, only true magnates would choose to purchase Mech Clan Slaves.

The stronger the Mech Clan Slave, the more neglected he would be.

After all, Cosmic Beasts who cultivate the Star Refining Art are completely different.

They can often rely on this cultivation method, which can form a universe within their bodies and continuously provide them with Star Power, to minimize their own consumption.

Unless they engage in an extremely physically demanding battle, they generally do not need to replenish energy.

As Slaves, Cosmic Beasts offer a much, much higher cost-performance ratio.

It is precisely because the Mech Clan has such a terrifying drawback that Kai, who seems incredibly useful, has a price no different from Kong Ling.

He even came with a large supply of energy sources.

Even so, Kai had been at the Lotus Slave Market for a long time.

It wasn't until Lin Tianwei's appearance that he found his true master.

2.1 units of origin!

After consuming 2.1 units of origin, Lin Tianwei gained ownership of Kong Ling and Kai.

He also purchased a large amount of energy sources for Kai's use.

Buying a car without buying fuel is like buying nothing.

To allow Kai to fully utilize his performance, Lin Tianwei also went all out.

Energy sources were purchased as if they were free.

The moment Lin Tianwei took out his origin to pay, Luo Ji was overjoyed.

He was indeed right.

This Cosmic Beast named Zeta was a super big shot who could settle accounts with origin.

Thinking of this, when Luo Ji handed over Kong Ling and Kai to Lin Tianwei, he also casually gave him a huge black gem.

Without a doubt, this black gem was a slave space primal stone.

However, compared to the slave space primal stone Tore bought, this primal stone was much, much larger.

Something given by Luo Ji would naturally not be an ordinary item.

They were both slave space primal stones, but there were also differences in quality.

If the slave space primal stone Tore bought was of the lowest grade, then the one Luo Ji gave to Lin Tianwei was of the highest grade.

The price difference was also vast.

Judging by the quality of this slave space primal stone, it was worth at least ten thousand yuan crystals, a thousand times more than Tore's slave space primal stone.

In other words, the item Tore had yearned for and dreamt of could only become an insignificant small gift that Luo Ji gave to win over Lin Tianwei.

Not only that, Luo Ji seemed to still feel that such an expensive small gift was not enough.

After a moment of thought, he finally gritted his teeth and pulled out a membership card, handing it to Lin Tianwei and saying, "Esteemed Mr. Zeta, this is the Lotus Slave Market's Star Diamond membership card. Please be sure to accept it."

"This is also my most sincere invitation to you."

"I, Luo Ji, sincerely invite you to attend the Lotus Auction ten years from now."

"And this membership card is the admission ticket to the auction."

"At that time, I will certainly be waiting for Mr. Zeta's esteemed presence at the auction."

"As for this slave space primal stone, it is a complimentary gift from our Lotus Slave Market."

"After all, Mr. Zeta, you purchased two priceless Slaves from us."

"Naturally, we couldn't let you take them back empty-handed."

Luo Ji's words instantly made Lin Tianwei frown.

No reward without merit.

This was Lin Tianwei's principle.

What's more, an uncalled-for display of courtesy hints at ulterior motives.

Lin Tianwei didn't believe that just the universally beloved origin could earn Luo Ji's baseless affection.

The other party being so good to him at least meant they had some intention towards him.

If this slave space primal stone could be considered the packaging for these two Slaves.

Then that Star Diamond membership card was definitely something Luo Ji gave away.

Especially after seeing the constantly flashing brilliance and surging Star Power on that Star Diamond membership card, Lin Tianwei realized that this membership card was absolutely extraordinary.

However, Luo Ji's subsequent words made Lin Tianwei hesitate.

It must be said that Lin Tianwei was absolutely very interested in the auction ten years later.

Since this membership card was the admission ticket to this auction, then Lin Tianwei had no choice but to accept it.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tianwei ultimately chose to accept everything before him.

He reciprocated, saying, "Mr. Luo Ji is truly too polite."

"I am indeed very interested in the auction ten years from now."

"Since that's the case, I will humbly accept it."

"Mr. Luo Ji, if you need any help, you can certainly come to me then."

Seeing Lin Tianwei accept his small gift, Luo Ji nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Mr. Zeta is truly too kind. It is my honor that you would accept the small gift I offered."

"Mr. Zeta, please rest assured, I have no intentions towards you."

"I only hope that you can make a big splash at the auction ten years from now, which would also count as earning me some performance."

Every Star Diamond membership card is priceless, and it's something that can't be bought even with yuan crystals.

The reason Luo Ji so casually gave it to Lin Tianwei was naturally for a purpose.

By accepting the membership card from Luo Ji, Lin Tianwei was essentially marked by Luo Ji.

Every amount of money he spent at the Lotus Slave Market would be counted towards Luo Ji's performance.

And performance was related to Luo Ji's future.

This was also why he so decisively gave out such an expensive Star Diamond membership card.

Nothing else.

Lin Tianwei was a super important customer worth him going all out to win over.

Lin Tianwei nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Luo Ji's words, saying, "If I see goods that satisfy me, I will naturally make a move."

"However, the promise I gave is still valid."

"In the future, if you can find me, I might be able to help you with a favor I'm willing to help with."

"Alright, since there are no more items here that interest me, then there's no need for me to stay any longer."

"I look forward to you bringing me some interesting goods when we meet next time."

Just as Lin Tianwei was about to leave, Luo Ji called out to Lin Tianwei again, saying, "Esteemed Mr. Zeta, I wonder what your relationship is with Tore."

"Actually, Tore is an inviter employed by the Lotus Slave Market, responsible for attracting new customers to our Lotus Slave Market."

"If there is any deception in your referral relationship, the Lotus Slave Market will not only not issue a referral reward to Tore."

"But will also hold him accountable for deceiving Mr. Zeta."

If Lin Tianwei were just an ordinary customer, Luo Ji would never ask him about the inviter.

Directly issuing a referral reward to Tore would be what the Lotus Slave Market would do.

But it was clear that Lin Tianwei was not an ordinary customer.

If he were to know that there was deception in his coming to the Lotus Slave Market, it would definitely push him towards the Lotus Slave Market's competitors.

To protect his own interests, and to protect the interests of the Lotus Slave Market.

At this time, Luo Ji could only betray Tore, this dispensable inviter.

And as long as Lin Tianwei spoke up and said that Tore deceived him.

The Lotus Slave Market would absolutely not let him off easily.

It was foreseeable that Tore's fate would become very miserable.

In other words, whether Tore could survive and receive the valuable referral reward depended entirely on Lin Tianwei's attitude towards him.

So that's how it is.

Lin Tianwei had actually already guessed Tore's identity in his heart.

Luo Ji's words merely confirmed this point.

After all, in this world, apart from parents and family, there is almost no such thing as baseless love for you.

Recalling Tore's performance along the way, Lin Tianwei said very calmly, "Tore, you say?"

"He's actually a pretty good guide."

After saying these two sentences, Lin Tianwei no longer lingered and left directly.

He had already given his attitude, and what to do next was Luo Ji's business. (End of chapter)
