"I've never seen so many fragments of laws before. The Anders family wouldn't even be able to produce this many law fragments!" Walking out of the trading post, Yue finally came to her senses. It was the first time in her life seeing so many law fragments, and she even had the thought that she was robbing Bexia.
"Well, if you see something you like later, I can buy it for you!" Sensing Yue's sour tone, Bexia chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"I said, don't pat my head, I'm not a pet!" Yue opened Bexia's hand.
"And also, I don't want you to buy me anything!" saying this while flying away in a huff. The realization that she only had a few thousand law fragments on her, which she had scrimped and saved for, made her feel the sting of being from a wealthy family.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn those rich people!
Arriving at the hundredth floor through a teleportation array, Bexia was stunned by everything before her. Everywhere were floating various treasures, separated by arrays. Upon closer inspection, these treasures were actually just illusions, compared to the advertised goods.
In the free trade market, these arrays were everywhere, each one a shop. By examining the images, customers could find what they needed, then enter the array to trade with the owner of the goods.
These arrays contained space within them, but were not free to access. Instead, they charged one law fragment per day, with larger arrays costing more, ranging from one fragment to ten thousand.
"Based on the array fees, the Greedy City must rake in a lot of law fragments every day. Truly greedy!" Bexia looked at the densely packed arrays around her, extending endlessly.
"Let's go! We are going to look for materials to make battleships. When you find something you like, don't hesitate to tell me!"
"Then you'll just wait for bankruptcy!" Yue said grimly.
"Great! I'll be waiting!" Bexia smiled knowingly; being with Yue was actually quite enjoyable.
The two of them aimlessly flew around, as the layout of the free trading market was not specific. The owners of the arrays could sell whatever items they wished, making it difficult for Longya to find what he needed. Along the way, he saw some materials he required, but the quantities held by the sellers were too low for his liking.
After all, he was constructing a dimensional battleship and needed a significant amount of basic ores.
"At this rate, who knows when we'll find what we're looking for!" After searching for a while, Bexia was still empty-handed.
"Are you stupid? Don't you know you can just search the Greedy City's network for what you need?" Yue sat on Bexia's shoulder and scolded him.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You didn't ask me! Why should I tell you, you idiot?" Bexia was speechless and didn't bother arguing with the child.
Opening the virtual network, Bexia quickly connected to the regional network of the Greedy City. As soon as he entered what he needed, a multitude of options appeared, too many to read through.
"Stellar Iron... This is the most basic immortal-level metal!"
"Stellar Steel... This is the refined material of Stellar Iron, but it's not that great!"
"The Abyssal Alloy... a special metal capable of absorbing attacks!"
"..."
The dimensional universe was vast and limitless. Even rare immortal-grade materials were abundant in the large trading market of the dimensional universe. Bexia scanned through the various types, expanding his knowledge. There were so many varieties that even a professional appraiser might not recognize them all.
"The Haemor Alloy... touted as the most durable metal among the immortal-grade, with self-recovery capabilities..."
"This is it!" Bexia, upon reading about the Haemor Alloy, immediately decided to use this alloy to construct the body of his warship. Either he chose the best, or he didn't choose at all.
"Haha, you sure know how to pick, the Haemor Alloy is not cheap!" Moon chuckled, watching Bexia select one of the most precious materials among the immortal-grade metals.
"Indeed, it's a bit expensive!" Bexia glanced at the price. A ton of Haemor Alloy was valued at a whopping one hundred thousand fragments of law, and considering the base hull of a warship required at least a million tons of material, he would need at least a hundred billion law fragments.
However, Bexia only had a little over ten million in hand!
"The gap is too vast, I don't have nearly enough law fragments!"
"It's actually not that bad. The Haemor Alloy is very lightweight. For a small warship, a few hundred tons would suffice!"
"What did you just say? The Haemor Alloy is lightweight?"
"Don't you know? The Haemor Alloy is a hundred times lighter than ordinary steel, extremely tough, with self-recovery capabilities. That's why it's so expensive!"
"So, I may not need as much Haemor Alloy as I thought!"
"A few hundred tons for a small warship should be enough, but you're probably still a bit short on law fragments!"
"These are all minor issues. I'll first determine the quantity needed before deciding..."
