Permanent Martial Arts - Chapter 387

The port of the Roya Imperial Planet was very prosperous. Every spaceship had to enter the port to dock, and register. It was very strict. Of course, Longbetham was already very familiar with this process, so he naturally let Longbetham handle everything.

“Master, we can leave the spaceship now.”

Lin Feng nodded and left the spaceship with Longbetham.

Outside the spaceship, on the streets of the Roya Imperial Planet, Lin Feng realized that many people brought a robot along like him. Their appearances were also strange. Ordinary Royan people were the same as humans, except for slight differences in their skin, eyes, and hair, but there was a 90% similarity overall.

However, the Royans were not the only ones on the Roya Imperial Planet. There were also some people from other civilized races, such as some snake-headed and human-bodied people.

There was also a two-headed people, and some tiny dwarves that were only about a meter tall.

The people from various civilizations and races also broadened Lin Feng’s horizons greatly.

As soon as Lin Feng walked out of the port, a Royan appeared in front of him.

“Distinguished guest, are you here on vacation?”

“From the looks of it, you don’t seem to be an interstellar businessman, but more like a rich young master. I know every famous ancient site on our Roya Imperial Planet like the back of my hand. I can take you wherever you want to go, and the price is very affordable. It only costs 0.1 energy unit per universal hour.”

Lin Feng did not respond and continued walking forward.

The young Royan’s eyes shifted slightly, and he said immediately, “If you’re a treasure collector, I can take you to the largest black market on the Roya Imperial Planet. Heh, even beautiful slaves can be bought there. Moreover, only familiar clients can enter the black market, and unfamiliar faces are not allowed to enter alone. If you’d like to go to the black market, it costs only 0.5 energy unit per universal hour.”

Lin Feng actually did not know what this Royan was talking about. He did not understand the Royan language, so he looked a little confused.

This Royan seemed to realize something. He immediately handed Lin Feng something that looked like a watch, and a series of brainwaves appeared in Lin Feng’s mind.

He opened his mouth again and realized that he could actually speak the language of the Royans.

This was a translator that translated brainwaves into language directly, and recorded the languages of the countless, myriad civilizations in the universe. It was very convenient.

The Royan repeated what he had just said.

“Black market?”

Lin Feng was not interested in the black market. He wanted to replenish energy. Perhaps the man in front of him could help him.

“I’d like to replenish some energy, energy used by spaceships! Do you know where to get it?” Lin Feng asked this Royan.

“You want to purchase energy? That’s not an easy task. To purchase energy through the formal process, you have to make an application at the Roya Imperial Planet government. Then, you need to disclose the details of your origin and verify it. Finally, they’ll send someone to check the spaceship. It will take at least one month for the application to be approved. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can apply to purchase energy.”

Lin Feng shook his head. This was way too troublesome.

“Is there a simpler way?”

“Of course there is. That is to go to the black market! As long as you have money, you can do anything! I will take you to the black market. As long as you are satisfied, you can pay me any amount you find reasonable. How about that?”

This Royan seemed to have perceived that Lin Feng was a big client, so he did not mention the specific remuneration. He was really a really observant and adaptive person.

“All right, as long as I’m satisfied, you’ll naturally be rewarded well.” Lin Feng said calmly.

“Please come with me!”

Joy appeared on the Royan’s face. He immediately left the port with Lin Feng.

The so-called “black market” was not actually shady. On the contrary, it was openly located in the downtown area. Lin Feng was stunned by the sight.

Was this still the black market? Wasn’t it afraid of being banned by the government?

As if sensing Lin Feng’s confusion, the young Royan guide called Bartos smiled and said, “The owner of this black market is the Skull Chamber of Commerce. The Skull Chamber of Commerce is in the port area, and it is one of the largest factions. No one will dare to investigate the black market here, so you don’t have to worry about trading here.”

Bartos led Lin Feng into the black market’s energy shop. There were all kinds of energy displayed inside. With Longbetham’s introduction, Lin Feng naturally knew what to buy.

However, when it came to the price of these energy modules, Lin Feng encountered a very awkward situation. He had no money!

That’s right, he had no money! How long had it been since Lin Feng had used money on his home planet?

In the universe, it was almost impossible to do anything without money.

The universal currency that Roya Empire used was Roya’s paper currency, but the hard currency in the universe was energy!

For example, the 0.1 and 0.5 energy unit that Bartos had mentioned previously were the universal currencies. After all, both cultivation and technological civilizations required energy.

The so-called one energy unit was about equivalent to the energy modules converted by the energy converter in Lin Feng’s underground ruins. About 100 of them were equivalent to one energy unit.

The technology of his home planet was very backward, and so was the conversion rate of energy. The energy contained in every energy module was actually very little.

According to Longbetham’s calculations, if the spaceship wanted to fly at the maximum speed, even if it was teleported to the Bemond Galaxy, it would require a large amount of energy to reach the Bemond Planet. According to the prices in the black market, at least 100 energy units were required to purchase it

However, the problem was that Lin Feng did not have that much money.

This was rather awkward. Seeing Lin Feng’s uncomfortable expression, Bartos thought that Lin Feng was dissatisfied with the price, so he hurriedly said, “Distinguished guest, the price here is already quite affordable. It’s only available because I’m your guide and gave you a 10% discount! You won’t be able to get this price anywhere else on the black market.”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “Do you have any places for acquisition here? I don’t have enough money, so I want to sell some things.”

“That’s a simple matter. Please follow me.”

Bartos immediately led Lin Feng to a provision shop.

Although it was called a provision shop, the shop was actually extremely grand. There was a dazzling array of all kinds of goods. Anything that one could imagine could be bought here.

“What do you need?”

“I’d like to sell some things.”

“Distinguished guest, do not worry. We have a professional appraiser here who knows all kinds of rare treasures in the universe by heart. The price is very fair and honest!”

Lin Feng nodded. Only a fool would actually believe it.

In fact, all his belongings were specialties from his home planet. He did not know how much they were worth, but he would sell as many as he could.

…

The executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce had been very angry recently.

The slave catchers had actually vanished. Before their disappearance, the slave catchers had only transmitted back a video.

“This cultivator actually destroyed the entire fleet of the slave catchers! He dares to destroy the fleet of our Skull Chamber of Commerce. Investigate him. This person must be found.”

The executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce were furious. This was an entire fleet. The losses were considerable.

Most importantly, the slave catchers had suffered a devastating blow before they could even send back the coordinates of the unclaimed planet they had discovered. This left the Skull Chamber of Commerce without even a chance to make up for their losses.

If they could conquer that unclaimed planet, perhaps they could make up for their losses. But now, without accurate cosmic coordinates, it was practically impossible to find that unclaimed planet again.

The Skull Chamber of Commerce actually did not hold much hope for finding the mysterious cultivator who destroyed the slave catcher fleet. There were countless cultivators in the universe. Perhaps it was just a passing cultivator. No matter how powerful the Skull Chamber of Commerce was, it was still a faction on the Roya Imperial Planet. They would not be able to do anything to that mysterious cultivator unless he came to the Roya Imperial Planet.

However, when the Skull Chamber of Commerce took action to investigate the aliens who entered the port area, they really found something.

“Huh, isn’t this person the cultivator who destroyed the entire catcher fleet? He really dares to come to the Roya Imperial Planet. Mobilize the planet annihilator battleships.”

“He went to the black market in the port area. It’s our territory. However, we can’t deploy planet annihilator battleships on the Roya Imperial Planet.”

“Then mobilize the decapitation squad. Capture him no matter what!”

The executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce were ranting.
