Chapter 813: Chapter 683: The Smurfs

Qu Jianlei came to Lanyun Market this time to replenish some supplies and gather information.

The enthusiasm of the market manager made him a bit uncomfortable.

Obviously, the other party must have heard about what happened at Gedel.

Whether or not there is a Supreme on the 8484 ship now, the fact that a Supreme on board exterminated another Supreme is indisputable.

So Lanyun Market must be welcoming, even if they have their own Supreme backing them.

After the merchant ship landed, no one came to collect the entrance fee.

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but contact the manager to ask what was going on.

The response was straightforward, ”We dare not disrespect the Supreme, whether or not he is on the merchant ship.”

Qu Jianlei was not a pretentious person; since they didn’t collect it, he didn’t give it.

It wasn’t about being stingy over such a small amount, but since others respected his Supreme status, he couldn’t diminish his own dignity.

Just think of Qinghu, Bu Shang, and other Supremes who receive many conveniences and take them for granted.

If he couldn’t bear it calmly, wouldn’t he also become an anomaly among the Supremes?

Then, he posted the list of items he wanted to purchase.

The focus was still raw materials, considering he might need to establish a new residence, he increased the quantity and procured several robots.

The attention given to this tattered merchant ship by the market soon drew others’ attention.

Not everyone had access to such connected information channels, even though many had heard that a Supreme was killed on Gedel’s side.

Lanyun Market, backed by the massive Pudding Mining, was able to know who had slain the Supreme.

Moreover, the Sail Consortium had initially approached Qu Jianlei at Lanyun for contact.

Anyway, everyone knew 8384 had taken out the Kitchen Maid team, so they knew not to mess with this wrecked ship.

So, many proactively approached, offering their prices.

However, ultimately it was a trading venue in space, there were indeed many willing to trade, but the prices did not come down.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised, high risks naturally pursued high profits, he wasn’t yet at the level where everyone loved him.

But what he found a bit uncomfortable was that many people tried to cozy up to him and gather some information.

After discovering instability in his base, Qu Jianlei had been in a rather bad mood and was not at all interested in dealing superficially with these people.

So he simply resorted to online trading, letting the market manager purchase on his behalf.

And sure enough, the people at Lanyun were willing to help, but they still charged a service fee, though it was reduced from ten percent to five.

The five-point reduction was a mark of respect for him, but a Supreme’s face wasn’t enough to make everyone willingly give up profits.

Three days later, the big market day arrived.

Qu Jianlei was surprised to find on the trading platform... ”Wood Attribute Exclusive Poison”?

This reminded him of the past years.

You could say Lanyun Market was practically a black market, selling such contraband openly.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t sure if the marketization of such things would have a good or bad impact on him.

With mixed feelings, he ordered a small amount online, also requesting an online transaction.

But the market management quickly informed him that this was likely fake and advised against purchasing it.

Indeed, although online trading incurred management fees, there were benefits, like having the management help in authenticating the goods.

If Qu Jianlei insisted on buying, the market would not offer a ”genuine guarantee”—the consequences were his to bear.

The market wouldn’t even authenticate it, as doing so would incur certain costs.

This kind of trading platform was indeed full of various risks!

Having received the risk warning, Qu Jianlei didn’t bother to purchase it any longer; he didn’t have a grudge against money.

After a few more days, with the cycle about to end and all his goods delivered, he planned to leave.

At that time, the market authorities came to him, hoping the 8384 could help transport a batch of goods.

Pudding Mining had set up the market here, with many living necessities that couldn’t be locally produced and needed to be transported in from outside.

Similarly, they would collect some useful materials at the market to carry out, reasonably distributing transport capacity to reduce costs.

The battle-worn 8384 had strong combat capabilities, and there was a high possibility a Supreme was on board, making it trustworthy.

Qu Jianlei was puzzled, ”Didn’t you have starship escorts in the past?”

The market stated that this batch of goods was urgent, and they were willing to pay a certain price to get the goods transported quickly.

Moreover, the reputation of the 8384 had spread, especially catching the attention of forces moonlighting as robbers.

Estimates from the people at Lanyun suggested that the possibility of encountering battles on the road was small, but the price offered was sincere—six million.

Qu Jianlei was initially going to refuse, but after hearing the destination, he started to hesitate.

Blue Elf Star—a Transfer Star that Simoni Mining was going to.

Furthermore, the people at Lanyun promised that no one would inspect the ship and would provide him with a temporary pass for easy landing on the planet.

At that time, he could stroll around Blue Elf Star and purchase more items.

Qu Jianlei ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation, ”Two million will do, I currently have a security agreement with the Sail Consortium.”

The two million Energy Blocks were only enough for normal consumption and could easily be overspent.

However, when he left Gedel, he said he would be gone for a month, and this trip was definitely going to be delayed.

Such delays are not unusual in interstellar travel, but accepting security contracts from other parties can be somewhat inappropriate.

Whether out of admiration for his contractual spirit or Pudding’s reluctance to offend the Supreme, they insisted on raising the price.

Ultimately, both parties settled on a middle figure, agreeing on four million, without signing any agreement.

Before leaving the next day, two million Energy Blocks as a deposit were already inside the cabin.

Pudding Mining dispatched two cargo starships, one with stronger firepower and the other barely capable of self-defense.

But adding the 8384 made it a fleet of three starships, anyone contemplating any ideas had to weigh it carefully.

It took seven days, but the fleet safely arrived at Blue Elf Star, without encountering any incidents on the way.

Here, the ocean covers more than eighty percent of the area, yet the blue zones are not many.

It’s the same reason, the temperature is too low; only because the planet has enough geothermal energy, the ocean hasn’t been completely ice sealed.

The three starships landed at the massive Star Port, and the two cargo ships began to organize the unloading process.

The strange shape of 8384 still attracted some attention, though not much.

The Transfer Star is full of starships, and even more bizarre shapes exist.

The Star Port equipment scanned Qu Jianlei’s temporary pass, and indeed no one came to check.

He waited until Pudding Mining delivered the second installment of two million, placing it in the cargo hold, before leisurely walking out.

Here also has docking fees, five hundred a day, and is not responsible for guarding cargo.

Qu Jianlei paid ten thousand silver coins, covering twenty days of fees, with the final amount adjusted.

The guard gave him a surprised look but ultimately said nothing, considering the other party could easily lift such a heavy box with one hand.

Qu Jianlei happily realized that with a pass, indeed no one checked his identity.

However, this planet was indeed not warm, sunlight was very weak, and the Star Port’s temperature was below minus forty degrees.

Yet, some people wore thick clothing, walking through the Star Port—after all, it’s much warmer than Lanyun.

The Star Port was too large, with rental car spots inside, but identification was needed.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei had a fake identity from before, then took out Card Coins to rent a car.

The car was a tracked off-road vehicle, capable of switching to a skateboard if necessary, with a speed of sixty to seventy kilometers per hour.

With all the road bends and traffic jams... Qu Jianlei took three hours to exit the Star Port.

Upon leaving the Star Port, the gate staff checked the identity again, appearing somewhat strict.

But such matters were not difficult for Qu Jianlei; he easily drove away.

Another three hours of travel, and he reached a nearby settlement.

The settlement covered an area of one hundred square kilometers, yet buildings were few and scattered.

Qu Jianlei was roughly aware that the land was expansive with few people, and due to the harsh climate, people lived relatively concentrated.

”Little Lake, check what high-end consumption places are here.”

Big Head Butterfly spun around, ”Elf House Foot Spa.”

Qu Jianlei listened in astonishment, ”What the heck, this foot spa... is it legitimate?”

”It’s quite legitimate,” Little Lake explained, the climate here is awful, making blood circulation in people’s feet prone to poor flow.

So foot spas are very popular, not only Elf House, other foot spas are also abundant, but this one is the most upscale.

At Elf House, foot spa is just a name; full-body massages and good food are also offered.

Of course, the prices are definitely not lacking, with a modest guest flow.

One must know, at this Blue Elf large logistics hub, many people earn while facing danger, and those who dare spend do spend a lot.

And quite a few big names pass through the Transfer, not minding spending a bit to improve their life quality.

Under such circumstances, visitors to Elf House tend to be few—imagine the consumption level here.

The foot spa had a large courtyard, covering around one square kilometer.

The courtyard had only one building, three stories tall, covering one hundred thousand square meters.

Qu Jianlei drove the rented car to the entrance of Elf House’s courtyard.

The guards were not dismissive; they had seen countless adventurers, many of whom even walked.

Still, the guards gently warned, ”Welcome esteemed guests!”

You better be a real esteemed guest, can’t afford the spending, or you might end up ridiculed.

Qu Jianlei didn’t pay them any mind and drove from the courtyard gate to the building’s main entrance.

A service staff, bundled warmly, ran over, paying no heed that the car was rented.

”Esteemed guest, would you like valet parking?”

”Return this car for me,” Qu Jianlei casually replied, ”rent another for me when I leave.”

The service staff was actually a Modified Warrior, sensing the other’s aura, replied respectfully, ”Sure.”

Based on his experience, he assessed the other likely had a ninety percent chance of being an A-level Awakened.

A-level Warriors don’t always visit Elf House, but those A-levels who do are surely no ordinary folks.
