Chapter 512: Making Money (1/2)

After that, Lu Yin forced the trio into one personal spacecraft and had them to take off and leave the planet. If they spent any more time on the planet, then they might have breathed in too much of the ambient pyrolyte and exploded. Lu Yin didn’t want to kill these three Explorers since it might cause other Explorers to be unwilling to face him.

Lu Yin looked at the three star essence skins that possessed a sparkling lustre and grew incomparably excited. These star essence skins had been made at a great price, but unfortunately, they would not fetch the same amount of star essence even if he sold them.

For example, it would be decent for one star essence skin that was made from 1,000 star essence to sell for 500 star essence. After all, these toys could only be used on Planet Pyrolyte, and even the next buyer would not be able to recover that many star essence.

This was unacceptable, as it meant that things were disadvantageous for him!

Lu Yin pondered over his situation for a while.

At this time, Xi Yue and the others arrived from a distance.

When he saw them, his eyes lit up, and he stored the three star essence skins in his cosmic ring.

Xi Yue came over to Lu Yin and looked at him with a complex expression. Her eyes carried a grateful yet shameful expression, as well as an indecipherable emotion. “Thank you.”

Lu Yin casually waved his hand. “You’re welcome, washboard.”

Xi Yue’s brows rose, and she glared furiously at Lu Yin. “I’m no washboard!”

Lu Yin reflexively glanced at Xi Yue’s chest. “It has gotten a little bigger.”

“Thug.” Xi Yue’s face flushed red, while many of the Souldream Tribe members’ faces behind her became strange.

“Where’s the trio?” Xi Yue asked.

Lu Yin pointed to the sky. “Threw them out.”

He then leaned closer to Xi Yue. “Do you want to make a trade?”

Xi Yue backed away as her face flushed red. “You… you get away from me!”

Lu Yin pursed his lips and retrieved one of the star essence skins. “I’ll sell this to you for 1,000 star essence.”

Xi Yue’s eyes went wide, and many of the Souldream Tribe members stared at the skin, dumbfounded. “You peeled the star essence skins off of their bodies?”

Lu Yin nodded. “So how about it? 1,000 star essence is the price for your Souldream Tribe.”

Xi Yue stared at him, dumbfounded, but she didn’t refuse. Instead, her eyes flickered with a calculating glimmer. It took a great deal of time to manufacture a star essence skin. If they could really buy one straight from Lu Yin, then it would be much cheaper, and they would also save a lot of time that was needed to manufacture one.

Before she spoke, a voice rang out from afar, “Brother Lu, our Souldream Tribe wants it.”

Lan Yue was much slower than Lu Yin, and she had only arrived at the scene now. When she saw Lu Yin brandishing the star essence skin and hawking it, she immediately spoke up to buy it.

Lu Yin very generously tossed the star essence skin to her. “Deal, 1,000 star essence. Thank you.”

Lan Yue grabbed the skin and found that the star essence skin was smooth to the touch and completely made from star essence. It felt like it would be very comfortable to wear, and the Souldream Tribe would now be able to send an Explorer down to the surface of Planet Pyrolyte with this suit.

“Brother Lu, you should have two more on you?” Lan Yue asked Lu Yin with high expectations.

Lu Yin nodded, and retrieved another two suits.

“Pass them all to us: 3,000 star essence,” Lan Yue offered excitedly.

Lu Yin sneered, “I recall that when I spoke to you in space, you tried to hoodwink me. Are you still trying to do the same now?”

Lan Yue’s face changed, and she awkwardly asked, “Brother Lu, what do you mean?”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “Do you want me to state the obvious? You tried to entice me with a marriage proposal and conveniently offered the amazing condition of allowing the Great Yu Empire to enter the Innerverse. But the reality is that everything in that deal was aimed to have me help your Souldream Tribe get the advantage here on Planet Pyrolyte while also establishing a relationship with the Sea King’s Dome. Am I wrong?”

Lan Yue’s face went pale.

Xi Yue looked at Lan Yue, as she had not known about this matter since she had already arrived on Planet Pyrolyte when the conditions had been offered.

“Brother Lu, I think that you’re mistaken. Our Souldream Tribe is sincere about wanting to have marital relations with the Great Yu Empire. If you don’t believe me, then when we leave Planet Pyrolyte, we can immediately start arranging things while also providing you with financial support. We will also do our best to bring your Great Yu Empire into the Innerverse. How about that?” Lan Yue sincerely offered Lu Yin.

Lu Yin naturally did not believe her, as the Sea King's Dome had already announced that it would protect Frostwave Weave. As for the Souldream Tribe, they only wanted to establish marital relations now so that they could pull themselves closer to the Sea King's Dome.

“There’s no need to say anything more. I understand your intentions. I still have two star essence skins left, and I’ll trade this one for 1,000 star essence.” Lu Yin handed Lan Yue another star essence skin, but he kept the one that he had obtained from Kayze.

He was not stupid. Kayze had obviously been much stronger than the other two, so the price to manufacture his star essence skin was entirely different since it could be given to a different tier of experts. The other two star essence skins could be used by elite Explorers at best, while those who could rival the youths on the Top 100 Rankings would not be able to use them unless the skins were rebuilt. But Kayze’s skin was different, as it could be immediately used by experts in the Top 100 Rankings.

In fact, Lan Yue really wanted Kayze’s suit. Although the Souldream Tribe had no one in the Top 100 Rankings, that list only took the younger generation into account, and there were still many older Explorers who could rival the youths on the ranking list. However, Lu Yin had not given her what she wanted.

Helpless, Lan Yue could only accept the two suits, though she was not losing out either. The cost to manufacture these two suits definitely surpassed a mere 1,000 star essence each.

“Brother Lu, how do you wish to conduct the transaction? Do we send the money to your Mavis Bank account, or shall we directly pass it to you?” Lan Yue asked.

“Directly. You can send someone to the mountain range.”

Lan Yue nodded and then looked at Xi Yue, as she tried to send a message through her eyes. She wanted to obtain Kayze’s star essence skin, but Xi Yue pretended not to see the other woman. She had already admitted that she didn’t know Lu Yin that well.
