Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 586: Chapter 555: A wicked person grinds himself

Even though Mingdu was Lin Yun’s enemy, Lin Yun had to admit that, at times, Mingdu’s audacity was impressive.

The profits in this star domain were substantial, and Mingdu must have realized that convincing a Cosmic Trading System master to abandon such a domain required considerable audacity.

Especially when Mingdu had run off with little remaining capital.

For the past six months, Lin’s super-detector had practically turned this star domain upside down, but they hadn’t found any trace of Mingdu.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but suspect that Mingdu might have already left this place.

Over this period, the robots he’d sent out to procure Spirit Crystals were bringing in ever fewer, and he’d found traces of other Cosmic Trading System masters. Had Mingdu perhaps realized he couldn’t lay claim to this star domain any longer and exposed its location to other masters?

Lin Yun was lost in thought.

However, it was also time for him to leave.

He only had half a year left before the Cosmic Trading System masters’ meeting. If he didn’t leave soon, he might not make it.

…

“We’re taking off!”

A few days later, Lin Yun and his crew gathered aboard a top-of-the-line battleship, built by an eighth-level technological civilization. Lin Yun looked ahead and gave the command.

Whoosh—

Their battleship charged through the starry sky like a meteor.

…

On the planet where Lin Yun and his crew had stayed for a long time, a group of individuals stood quietly, watching Lin Yun leave.

Star Blue and some robots left behind by Lin Yun were there.

Although the profits from the Kodis Empire and surrounding star domains were dwindling, it was still a vast wealth from Star Blue’s perspective.

However, Star Blue simply wasn’t strong enough to maintain order.

Not to mention, traces of other Cosmic Trading System masters had been appearing in this star domain.

Lin Yun had left behind another batch of top-tier, tenth-level robots, along with a few eleventh-level robots for Star Blue.

At the same time, Lin Yun had personally appeared before some other Cosmic Trading System masters he had discovered. He’d shown off his power — whether to intimidate or impress — so that they wouldn’t dare to attack Star Blue lightly.

They had to know that a powerful Cosmic Trading System master was backing Star Blue.

If they harmed Star Blue, they would have to face his retaliation.

Then, Lin Yun left.

Of course, Lin Yun’s help to Star Blue wasn’t unconditional.

Half of the revenue Star Blue earned from this star domain for the next three thousand years would go to him.

This point was stated in the agreement they signed in the Cosmic Trading System. Even if Star Blue didn’t remit the funds willingly, the system would automatically deduct them.

Some debts were incurred over a handful of rice, and some enmities over a sheaf of rice.

Even though Star Blue had previously helped him, Lan Yun didn’t want to return the favor unconditionally and without limits.

That wouldn’t be beneficial for either of them in the long run.

He was about to leave this place.

He was leaving Star Blue here, helping him establish a foothold here. Star Blue would yield half of his earnings in this star domain for the next three thousand years. It was a win-win situation.

…

Watching Lin Yun and his crew depart, Star Blue was filled with gratitude.

Back in the day, among the civilization where he was born, he could earn only half a Spirit Crystal a day by relying on his entire population.

Because of his low status, he mainly dealt with the lower-ranked Cosmic Trading System masters.

Despite the minor income, he was still quite pleased with himself.

Fast forward to now, he had advanced several ranks. Looking back, he realized how naive he had been and how insignificant his income was.

Lin Yun had left him several dozen top-tier, tenth-level robots.

And several eleventh-level robots.

The total value of these robots amounted to hundreds of trillions of Spirit Crystals.

His daily income would now reach tens to hundreds of billions of Spirit Crystals!

All this has happened within only a few years?

If he had thought about it a few years ago, it would have been unimaginable.

He was extremely grateful for a fateful decision from long ago, which made him acquaint George Lin, who had just become a master of the Cosmic Trading System.

Even though he had ulterior motives at that time, hoping that Lin Yun might bring him great benefits in the future.

However, he never expected such terrifying returns in such a short time.

“Brother, have a smooth journey…”@@novelbin@@

Star Blue looked at the increasingly smaller “meteor” in the starry sky, whispering to himself.

Though they were both masters of the Cosmic Trading System, he felt no envy towards Lin Yun’s rapid rise. He understood that Lin Yun and his kin were exceptional beings. Their rise was inevitable.

That Lin Yun didn’t forget to lend him a hand after his emergence, he was very grateful for that.

Was traveling and experiencing the world supposed to be simple?

How many Cosmic Trading System masters had died during their adventures!

Like him, trapped in a desperate situation before?

At this moment, all he hoped for was that Lin Yun would remain safe on his journey.

The world outside was marvelous!

And equally dangerous!

“The devil… has finally left…”

Next to Star Blue, a middle-aged man gazed at the increasingly distant “battleship” in the starry sky, let out a sigh of relief, and murmured to himself.

This man was none other than the pirate leader Black Skeleton, who Lin Yun had once captured.

The Black Skeleton was a notorious pirate leader, known for his atrocities. Normally, Lin Yun wouldn’t spare a glance for such a figure.

Originally, after capturing the Black Skeleton, Lin Yun planned to turn him over to the Kodis Royal Family for Spirit Crystals. But then, Lin Yun himself had wiped out most of the Kodis high command.

Additionally, the Black Skeleton had tipped him off about the Heavenly-luck Flower, which amounted to trying to make amends for his past wrongdoings, so that matter dissipated.

Later, Lin Yun planned to cripple the Black Skeleton’s ability and casually dump him on an administrative planet.

A high-level expert in this era of interstellar civilizations, filled with countless other experts, wouldn’t be able to harm others if his abilities were disabled.

When Star Blue learned about the plan, he wasn’t willing to let such an expert go to waste. So, he pleaded for Black Skeleton’s life.

In the end, Lin Yun let Star Blue purchase a restraining prohibition from the Cosmic Trading System to control Black Skeleton and left him with Star Blue.

However, Black Skeleton was constantly aware that Linyun had considered killing him or crippling him, and every time Lin Yun looked at him, he felt a sense of disdain.

Therefore, Black Skeleton had always been afraid of Lin Yun.

Every time Star Blue took him to meet Lin Yun, he got goosebumps. Carefully and respectfully, he kept his head down, afraid that any attention from Lin Yun might provoke him.

In his mind, Lin Yun was undoubtedly a devil.

The Emperor of the Kodis Empire had only crossed Lin Yun twice, and each time, Lin Yun had wiped out their warships, eliminating most of the high-ranking members of the Kodis Royal Family.

It implied that Lin Yun wasn’t a very kind person.

There was no doubt that if he provoked Lin Yun, he would definitely suffer the consequences. He, who used to be a notorious pirate leader that could stir up a storm with a flick of his hand, was now afraid of a single person. It was indeed quite amusing and pathetic.

Now, seeing Lin Yun leaving, Black Skeleton naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, he could finally relax a bit and no longer needed to worry about a sword hanging over his head.
