The black market knew no day or night, with luminous stars perpetually illuminating the entire asteroid belt from above.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons a black market existed here.
Seeing Jones's ghastly, dog-like complexion, Fang Er had Bu Yun and Bu Yu carry him back to the spaceship.
He also retrieved all the samples previously displayed into the system's warehouse.
Fifty million Andromeda coins, neatly stacked in the warehouse, were a satisfying sight.
Back in the cabin, Xue Rengui approached with a fawning expression.
"My Lord, could you get this humble general some Jin Ke La..."
"The leaves on Mo De's head have grown a bit larger. He said that once nine leaves sprout, it will bear fruit."
"Hehehe, this humble general wishes to taste its flavor..."
Fang Er's heart stirred. Something that could extend the lifespan of carbon-based lifeforms, let alone Xue Rengui, he himself wanted to try it too...
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, he led Xue Rengui and Su Dingxiang towards Mo De's cabin.
"Second Master..." Mo De quickly stood up upon seeing Fang Er enter.
Fang Er nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cabin's furnishings – over fifty square meters, with just a simple table and two chairs.
However, in a corner, there was a metal pool over three meters in diameter, filled to the brim with soil.
"What is this??"
He pointed curiously at the pool of soil.
Mo De scratched his head with his dry, withered hand, producing a creaking sound.
"Second Master, you may not know, but you usually just sleep on a bed when you rest. However, we Treants must be rooted in soil to recover our strength."
Well, a tree is a tree, it can't do without soil...
Fang Er waved his hand, and dozens of bags of Jin Ke La were tossed out.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui, without waiting for instructions, stepped forward, used his saber to cut open each packaging bag, and poured the fertilizer onto the ground.
As he worked, he looked up at Mo De, grinning.
"Old Mo, eat up!"
"Eat until you're full, then bear a fruit for your brother to taste!"
Mo De:...........
Although this treatment was good, why did he feel like he had become a tool-tree?
"Eat to your heart's content, there's nothing else..."
Fang Er intended to say this could last them, but he stopped halfway through.
Under the puzzled gazes of the three, he sank his consciousness into the warehouse to search.
He vaguely remembered that when he had browsed the agricultural supply store, he seemed to have unlocked other things.
Some things he hadn't unlocked, but he had redeemed a lot of them.
After searching for a while, a pleased expression appeared on his face. He tossed out a pile of 50-kilogram large barrels from the warehouse, their white bodies filled with black liquid.
A label was affixed to them: Amino Acid Concentrate.
"Hahahaha, found it, this is it!"
"Eating that alone is too dry, come, come, eat this while you drink!"
Su Dingxiang curiously stepped forward, unscrewed the lid of one barrel, and leaned in to sniff. The next moment, he retreated several steps as if facing a great enemy.
Damn it!
It stank so badly!
The smell couldn't be described as overwhelming!
But Mo De, upon smelling it, acted as if he had discovered a delicacy. Several roots extended from his feet, wriggling towards the barrel opening.
As the roots entered the barrel, the liquid inside rapidly diminished at a visible rate.
On his face, an expression of complete intoxication appeared.
"So good, so good!"
After finishing a barrel of amino acids, Mo De punched his chest and said solemnly to Fang Er.
"Second Master, from today onwards, whatever you ask me to do, I will do!"
"Hahahaha, eat and drink to your heart's content. Don't say you alone, even ten more, and Second Master can support you all!"
"Go all out and consume!"
Fang Er clapped him heartily on the shoulder, then filled the entire cabin with Jin Ke La and Amino Acid Concentrate before swaggering away with Su Dingxiang and Xue Rengui.
Mo De, buried under the Jin Ke La, watched their departing figures through a gap, his eyes teary.
Then he opened his large mouth and bit down on a bag.
Second Master is too good...
55555..........
Touched!
What tool-tree or not, to hell with it...
De Ye loves this!
Octopus Jones, after being sent back to his own cabin, slept for over forty hours before waking. The first thing he asked was:
"Where's my brother! Quick, bring my brother here..."
When Fang Er arrived, this fellow grabbed his hand with burning eyes, saying with snot and tears.
"Big brother, show me those things you showed me before, ten thousand of each item first!"
"I'll contact my old buddies to come and select treasures now!"
Fang Er:...........
Shame, shame. Damn it, just now I thought this guy was urgently looking for me to say his last words...
I didn't expect that as soon as he woke up, he would be thinking about business.
It seems that in the business world, I'm not doing my job very well!
He called Bu Yun and Bu Yu and had them find a few empty warehouses on the spaceship. Condoms, little pills, everything was stuffed into the warehouses.
Of course, there were also those dancing little plastic balls...
"Eh? Old Bu, tell me, can these backward weapons be sold for a good price?"
After filling the fourth warehouse, Fang Er took out an AK and asked Bu Yun and Bu Yu.
Bu Yun took it with a puzzled expression, fiddling with it for a long time before understanding what it was.
"Hiss... It's actually a gunpowder weapon?"
"This is an antique!"
"As far as I know, almost all civilizations that can leave their planet have eliminated such things."
"Especially on high-oxygen planets like Atali, such things are strictly forbidden. Discovery means certain death!"
"However, precisely because of this, such weapons will have a large market!"
"For example, rebel forces!"
"Every planet has such forces. They need things that are easy to carry and hide, and also won't be detected by instruments!"
Fang Er was stunned. Undetectable by instruments?
"Why?"
Bu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "For them, such weapons have long been obsolete. Current security instruments mainly target high-energy weapons like lasers and ions."
"Without an energy source, in the eyes of those instruments, such weapons are merely lumps of iron!"
"This gun alone, what you call an AK47, can be sold for at least 100 Andromeda coins each, of course, ammunition is extra!"
Fang Er:.............
Holy crap!
Who would have thought!
Coming here, I can even act as an arms dealer?
This is too awesome!
Damn it, I have to sell them all out this time!
When I earn enough money, I'll buy a fleet and head back grandly!
ps: I had something to do during the day, so chapter 25 was updated early today~~~~
