In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

It's no wonder that Hongtang was so inexperienced that she was easily blinded by gold and silver jewelry.

But Mr. King's room was simply too luxurious.

Besides his chair being made of pure gold, his floors and walls were also made of gold.

However, they are all inlaid with various unknown gemstones and other glittering metals, making them look dazzling and eye-catching.

Even indoor items, such as tables, bookshelves, chandeliers, clocks, water cups, lamps, paintings, and even green plants in the corners, are all made of metal upon closer inspection.

Although Hongtang only recognized gold as a metal, upon closer inspection, she noticed some differences.

For example, the chandelier on the ceiling appears to be made of a luminous metal, or more accurately, some kind of mineral.

The lush green plant on the table, with its small yellow, white, and pink flowers, also resembled some kind of mineral.

Furthermore, the four red rings on Mr. King's hands and the mysterious black necklace around his neck should be made of some rare and precious metal or ore.

They look similar to the gems of Aquamarine, but Red Tang is certain they are not.

Even his clothes seemed to cast a faint metallic sheen under the light.

Could it be that the metal dimension where Mr. King resides refers to the world they live in, where most things and items are made of gold and minerals?

That's amazing!

If you don't understand, just ask. Hongtang voiced her doubts.

As she guessed, the Metal Plane was indeed a world made entirely of metals and ores.

The number and variety of intelligent beings there are very small. However, because there is an abundance of metals and ores, the average person there is quite wealthy.

Mr. King is one of the wealthiest people at the top of the pyramid.

"Because we are surrounded by metals and ores, food from your world is extremely scarce and precious. Even with metals and ores, you might not be able to buy it."

“Poor families would eat these digestible minerals to survive.”

As he spoke, Mr. King held up the small potted flowering plant on the table to his face and took a bite.

Crunch, crunch—

A sharp, piercing sound, like shattering glass, could be heard through the screen.

It turned out that Mr. King had chewed and crushed those three small yellow, white and pink flowers.

Hongtang felt her teeth were sore and painful, so she quickly drank some hot tea to relieve the pain.

Bah Bah!

Mr. King spat what was in his mouth onto the ground and continued to explain, "Although this stuff can fill your stomach, it has no taste, it's hard to chew, and the waste products after digestion are difficult to excrete."

Hongtang: "......" She felt a tightness in her anus and some pain in her duodenum.

Hongtang's target is that gold.

So she had Mr. King introduce all the metals and ores in the room, and to his astonishment and confusion, she bought the entire gold mine from him!

That's right, it's an entire gold mine! At least tons.

Moreover, it's a gold mine that doesn't require refining and can be used directly as gold on Aquamarine Star.

It contains some beautiful colored stones.

In other words, colored gemstones. They were obtained for free.

Hongtang was very happy and extremely satisfied.

It should be noted that on Aquamarine, gold ore is not only rare, but one ton of gold ore can generally only yield 2 to 5 grams of gold.

He had easily acquired hundreds of tons of gold through the interdimensional trading system; how could he not be happy?

Gold ore in the metal plane is called gold ore.

Mr. King was very puzzled. He wondered why Hongtang would buy such a metal ore that was useless except for its good looks.

You should know that in their metal plane, ore is as readily available and cheap as soil on Aquamarine.

Hongtang, who felt she had gotten a great deal, naturally couldn't tell him the truth.

Finally, Mr. King, who also felt he had gotten a great deal, reluctantly gifted Hongtang a palm-sized piece of silver keystone.

Silver keystone contains the power of life and can shape the flesh and blood of living beings. It is often used for the regeneration of severed limbs and body parts, which is very magical.

The silver keystone that Mr. King gifted was small enough to completely reshape an adult's body.

Having had her eyes opened once again, Hongtang gladly accepted the incomparably precious Silver Key Stone, and also purchased some other minerals with different functions.

After completing the transaction, Hongtang immediately stored the 10,000 tons of gold and silver keystone into her spatial storage.

After thinking for a moment, she activated the golden liquid sphere in her dantian and absorbed both of them.

Then she noticed that the golden liquid sphere had changed. It had grown from the size of an egg yolk to the size of an egg.

At the same time, her metal-based superpower also upgraded to level two.

Hongtang activated her metal powers again, attempting to release the gold and silver keystone.

One of the abilities of the metal-type superpower is that the body can absorb, dissolve, modify, and strengthen various metals.

Metals absorbed into the body can be released again.

However, after trying it, Hongtang discovered that only half of the gold her body had just absorbed could be released, while the Silver Keystone could be released completely.

She absorbed the gold bars from the space into her body again, and then released them. This time, she released them all.

The gold in the space and the gold purchased from Mr. King are essentially no different.

Therefore, Hongtang guessed that her liquid metal sphere might have absorbed enough gold and was no longer needed for the time being.

However, to advance to the first level of the metal-type ability, one needs to absorb 5000 tons of gold, which is far too extravagant!

It seems it's better for her to keep her gold hidden in her spatial storage.

If it exists in a golden liquid sphere, and the conditions for advancement are met again someday, the gold will be absorbed by the body and cannot be retrieved.

Then she would cry to death.

As soon as the transaction ended, Mr. King on the other end of the electronic screen transformed from a middle-aged human man back into a blue monster with several tentacles growing from his head and around his body.

Its fat body lay limply on the table, taking up the entire table, with two-thirds of its body resting on the ground. Its cross-shaped mouthparts emitted a "chirping" sound.

It seems to be saying: This deal was quite profitable. After consuming these delicious foods, my shapeshifting ability will level up again. Then I can trade with new dimensions.

Hongtang was naturally unaware that Mr. King of the Metal Dimension was actually a type of amoeba-like creature with advanced intelligence.

If they found out, they'd probably be terrified.

The next day, the short, stout officer sent 1000 jin of hulled rice to Xiaolou, according to the standard of 100 jin per person, to express his gratitude for Lu Duo, Hong Tang and others' generous donation of grain.

They promised that they could live in the building for free for six months.

"There are eight of us plus one monkey, so to outsiders there are nine of us. The army rounded it up and gave us 1000 catties of rice. It's a thoughtful gesture from them."

Lu Duo handed the rice over to Hong Tang to handle, since Hong Tang was in charge of arranging everyone's meals. It was most reasonable for her to handle the food.

“Sure, I’ve been homeless lately anyway. The Sucheng base seems pretty good on the surface. Since they’ve waived the rent, I’ll stay here for a while.”

Since she already had enough gold, she was no longer so enthusiastic about going to the capital to find the supply depot and gold vault that Xue Li had mentioned.

She has plenty of supplies, enough to last for hundreds of years.

However, as soon as Hongtang finished speaking, she was immediately met with opposition.

"My dear boss, I disagree with this!"
