Cosmic Trading System

A medium-size spaceship from a Level 5 technological civilization could travel a maximum distance of three hundred thousand light-years via spatial jump.

With the earth being around two thousand light-years away from the Cancer K-star, you just had to find an appropriate location for a spatial jump, and getting there was not an issue.

The challenge was finding the right location.

As soon as their battleship took off, Lin Yun activated the detection equipment.

Only after a full day of flight did they find a suitable location for a spatial jump.

This made Lin Yun somewhat disheartened.

Finding a suitable location for a spatial jump was proving to be more difficult than he had imagined.

The battleship he had purchased was a medium-sized ship from a Level 5 technological civilization, it could at most traverse a distance of three hundred thousand light-years via spatial jump. The distance from their location to Star Blue was more than thirty million light-years, which would require at least a hundred or more spatial jumps.

Even more, perhaps.

After all, how could you guarantee that every suitable location for a spatial jump was precisely three hundred thousand light-years away?

If it took a day each time to find a suitable location for a spatial jump, then at minimum it would take over a hundred days, or possibly even longer.

It was likely that they wouldn't reach their destination in three or four months, possibly not even within half a year.

This timeline was somewhat long.

"Hum—"

The Innate Martial Artists, who were operating the battleship, channeled their maximum Mental Strength into the battleship, activating the ship's spatial jumping ability. At the same time, Lin Yun was inputting the detected coordinates into the control center of the battleship.

Hu—

Several seconds later, the battleship suddenly disappeared. The space it had occupied merely rippled for a moment, just as an object disappears once it falls into the water.

This time it had truly vanished.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the operation of the battleship's spatial jump requires a certain level of Mental Strength. This ability needs powerful mental communication. Plus, only battleships of a Level 5 technological civilization are capable of this because the strength of the battleship also matters…" Enjoy more content from empire

In a mysterious, dark space, Lin Yun was murmuring while observing the scene before him.

The battleship they were on didn't linger in this mysterious space; it was only there for two or three seconds. The next moment, light appeared in front of their battleship, and a colorful world once again filled their view.

Looking at the coordinates displayed on one of the screens, Lin Yun knew that they had already arrived at a location over two thousand light-years away from the Earth. They were just fifty to sixty billion kilometers away from Cancer's K-star.

They were still in accelerating space.

Under Lin Yun's command, their battleship began to quickly head towards the K-star.

On the detection screen, they could see the distant K-star, which was a golden planet.

"It's indeed a gold planet, and it's much larger than expected..."

Lin Yun exclaimed in amazement.

Even though he had seen the data for this planet, he still couldn't help expressing his astonishment when he saw the planet for the first time.

The diameter of this planet was approximately twenty times that of Earth, meaning that in terms of volume, it was probably thousands of times larger.

This gave a crude idea of the size of this planet.

According to some countries on Earth, only the surface layer of this planet contained gold, but it was still a significant amount.

Gold is a metal that is difficult to form naturally. According to natural laws, a planet this size wouldn't have this much gold. So some countries on Earth speculated that an even larger celestial body had exploded, and the gold passing by was adsorbed here, causing it to form.

Because they were in accelerating space, the speed of Lin Yun's battleship was quite fast.

A few minutes later, they arrived at K-star and landed on it.

"Detection!"

Without leaving the battleship, Lin Yun immediately released a large detector, instructing it to work.

"Hum—"

Soon, the early data revealed that the gold in this particular area was not as plentiful as expected.

"What's going on…" Lin Yun furrowed his brow.

"When we used the radiation equipment for detection previously, the data clearly showed a lot of gold on this planet... Could it be that the distribution of the gold is uneven and most of it is elsewhere?" Lin Yun pondered, speaking out loud.

This situation was not impossible.

While thinking about this, Lin Yun sent out ten collection devices to collect the gold below while he waited for the final results of the detection.

These collection devices, each worth one million Spirit Crystals, had initially been placed on planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury by Lin Yun. He had brought them all this time, a grand gesture on his part.

With so many powerful collection devices, the speed of resource collection was quite fast.

The density of gold here was not as high as it was on the last gold planetoid; however, after only a few seconds, these collection devices had obtained more than one hundred thousand tons of gold and many other resources.

Seeing the data transmitted by these collection devices, Lin Yun couldn't help but get excited.

More than a hundred thousand tons of gold had already been obtained?

That's more than ten million Spirit Crystals!

Indeed, star travel was indeed worthy of being the owner's second explosive phase in the Cosmic Trading System!

Hu— Hu—

The quantity of gold in the ten devices was increasing rapidly…

A minute later, Lin Yun had Cloud One accompany him to go out and start collecting the gold from these devices.

Lin Yun's wealth began to grow rapidly.

Five minutes… Ten minutes… Fifteen minutes…

The quantity of gold in Lin Yun's trading space first surpassed a million tons and then exceeded ten million tons.

At this point, the total quantity of gold on this planet was revealed—it was around ten billion tons.

The figure fell far short of the previous estimate of at least a hundred billion tons.

Lin Yun's brow furrowed slightly before relaxing.

Around ten billion tons of gold nonetheless seemed acceptable.

If all was converted into Spirit Crystals, it would equate to around ten trillion Spirit Crystals. What a terrifying number! He should be satisfied!

"At this rate, it will take about ten days to completely mine this planet's resources. It seems I must purchase more resource compilation equipment..." Half an hour later, when the gold in Lin Yun's trading space reached fifteen million tons, Lin Yun pondered aloud.

If it were ordinary resources, he would hesitate to do so, but this was a gold collection. In just half an hour, he had harvested gold worth one and a half billion spirit crystals. It wouldn't hurt to spend some on additional equipment.

whoosh——

Lin Yun immediately went to his regular equipment seller's store and chose to purchase ten sets of collection equipment worth ten million spirit crystals each. After an 85% discount, it cost a total of eighty-five million spirit crystals.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin, on discovering a superb resource area..." The store owner grinned.

He sounded quite envious between his words.

Recently, Lin Yun had bought a lot of resource collection equipment from his shop. This bill was exceptionally impressive.

This was a one-hundred-million-spirit-crystal order. Evidently, Lin Yun had discovered a superior resource area. Furthermore, this resource area was no ordinary one.

Lin Yun's willingness to invest heavily in equipment indicated that the area contained resources worth at least several hundred million Spirit Crystals, possibly even more than a billion Spirit Crystals.

This was a huge amount.

Additionally, Lin Yun's account still bore the "newcomer" tag, making the owner doubly envious.

When he was a newcomer, everything developed smoothly, but when compared with Lin Yun, he seemed insignificant!

This was a newcomer with an edge!

Such a newcomer is bound to be extraordinary in the future, and he was willing to build good relations with him!

A minute later, ten sets of super collection kits were transmitted over.

The more expensive the kit, the greater the efficiency. With ten super collection kits laid out, the whole planet reverberated with a ground-shaking noise.

"Boom!"

The whole planet trembled slightly. In just a second, the gold collected by these collection kits exceeded two hundred thousand tons.

In just four or five seconds, the gold inside these collection kits surpassed one million tons.

Watching the amount of gold in these kits skyrocket, Lin Yun smiled faintly.

In this way, the speed of collection accelerated.

He estimated that they could completely mine the planet's rare resources in just half a day.

"Huh? That's not right..."

Just then, Lin Yun's face slightly changed.

He noticed that the vibration of the planet was unusual and was magnifying.

Even though these collection kits made quite a commotion, the planet was not small at all, and it shouldn't provoke such a disturbance.

If it was only causing a small area to shake, it could be understood... but now, the entire planet was indeed trembling. He was sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Danger! Let's go!"

Just then, Cloud One's face paled as he urgently yelled.

whoosh——

The next moment, he teleported himself and Lin Yun away from the planet.

On the other side, Cloud Two flashed outside the battleship. The huge Domain Power covered the entire battleship, ready to teleport away.

Although his Domain Power was huge, the battleship was not small either. It took him some time to teleport such a large object.

"Boom——"

Just then, the entire golden planet split open.

A gigantic creature appeared in the midst of it, its body covered with long golden hairs. It had a horn on its head with a golden aura swirling around it. This behemoth's body length spanned thousands of miles, stood hundreds of miles tall, and its four hooves resembled giant pillars holding up the sky.

"Roar——"

The next moment, it let out a sky-shattering roar. A special wave instantly spread out in the direction of its roar.

As it moved, the entire golden planet disintegrated. Some large fragments around its body flew off at high speed in all directions. The smaller celestial bodies seemed to be shooting stars.

"Bang——"

Not far away, an asteroid several tens of kilometers in diameter crashed against a fragment a few meters in diameter and shattered instantly, demonstrating the formidable destructive power.

"Beep Beep Beep——"

At that instant, Cloud One had just teleported Lin Yun to a place several hundred thousand kilometers away. As they stopped to assess the situation on the planet, they were hit by multiple fragments. He immediately deployed his Domain Power to block them, and his energy level dropped abruptly.

whoosh——whoosh——whoosh——

He didn't dare hesitate any longer and instantly teleported Lin Yun away to a farther point.

On the other side, the battleship just teleported a few times without going far. It was directly in the path of the Golden Beast's roaring.

"Buzz Buzz Buzz——"

Cloud Two's Domain Power was quickly breached. The layers of shields on the battleship blew like bubbles, and only the last two or three layers managed to barely hold on.

whoosh——

Just then, Cloud Two teleported the battleship away. Fearing they would get involved again, he chose a different direction for the teleportation.

whoosh——whoosh——whoosh——

So it went. Cloud Two carried the battleship and Cloud One took Lin Yun. The two parties kept teleporting rapidly without pausing.
