In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 21 Weapon Merchant
Hongtang's dinner ended with a cucumber salad, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, and a bowl of rice.
She took the photo of the cucumber herself, and the stir-fried garlic sprouts with pork was something she had packed up beforehand.
After washing up, she and Ha Ge went back to the bedroom to cool off. Ever since she brought Ha Ge home, the little guy has been sticking to her. Now he even has to sleep in the same room with her, otherwise he'll start "eating" everywhere, and he's already broken two water dispensers.
Seeing the thermometer about to break 50°C, Hongtang took out the 0.5-ton plastic water tank that the manufacturer had given her as a gift. She had specifically kept two empty ones for future use, but now she felt they were completely unnecessary. She had bought 20 25-liter outdoor water buckets today, so she only needed to keep a few.
Moreover, the water tower was foldable, so she was inspired to buy some foldable furniture and daily necessities, including a portable toilet, a bathtub and foot bath, and a shower curtain.
"Sister, what was that 'bad review' you mentioned before?" As usual, Hongtang immersed her consciousness into the space, stimulating the plants to grow and harvesting while checking and organizing supplies, or "building houses" to practice her mental strength.
Hongtang forced the growth of a small portion of the plants in the space, still in order to practice wood energy.
She has no shortage of food, and the interdimensional trading system has ample supplies, so it's best to let the plants grow naturally. It'll be a good opportunity to see how much time difference there is between their maturation period inside and outside the space.
[Host, you've finally remembered this.]
My sister is harvesting vegetables in her online space; these plants are growing so fast. Receiving, packaging, pricing, listing, and communicating keep her incredibly busy.
However, it was busy but happy because its host was about to become a level three merchant, and it could level up along with him.
[The other party is a Level 1 merchant from the Fifth Interstellar Civilization; this may have been a mistake.]
"Oh, the Fifth Interstellar Civilization?" Isn't that from the same plane as mine? Hong Tang immediately became interested. This is definitely "aliens"! I really want to see what aliens look like.
"Little sister, please help me connect."
【Okay, host.】After requesting a video transaction, the younger sister went back to harvesting crops.
The video call was quickly connected. A handsome man in his thirties appeared on the screen.
Hongtang was somewhat disappointed.
The other person has one nose and two eyes, and looks quite similar to me. It's just that their physique is a bit too muscular.
"Hello sir, I am Hongtang from the First Interstellar Civilization, a Level 2 'Fruit and Vegetable Merchant'. You can call me 'Xiaotang'. Why did you give me a bad review? Is there something wrong with my vegetables?"
Since they weren't friends, Hongtang could only see that the other person had bought a cucumber salad. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems.
The muscular man readily complied, "Hello, Ms. Xiaotang. I am Hoss from the Fifth Interstellar Civilization, and I am a Level 1 weapons merchant. The reason I gave you a bad review is due to my operational error; I was originally going to give you a good review. However, I only recently acquired this system and am not yet very familiar with its use. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please accept this apology gift."
Upon hearing that the other party was a level one weapons merchant, Hongtang understood and was also a little excited; her weapons were secured.
Before she could react, a dagger about 5 inches long appeared in her hand. The dagger was entirely black, slightly heavy in the hand, and its material was unknown. The blade gleamed coldly, and the handle had textures that fit the fingers. It was clearly a good item.
Hongtang brandished the dagger a couple of times, feeling its sharpness. "Hoss, thank you for the gift, I really like it."
"Thank you for accepting my apology, Xiaotang. This dagger is very sharp; it can cut through the flesh of a level three star beast here. Please be careful not to hurt yourself when you use it."
Hongtang, “…” So this is just a dagger for cutting flesh?
Sister: There's a huge difference in level between the star beasts of the First Interstellar Civilization and those of the Fifth Interstellar Civilization. So the star beasts in your host's place are just easy targets in front of this dagger.
Ha Ge: What are Star Beasts? Are they tastier than the fish and shrimp raised by that stupid woman?
Hongtang: So we have Star Beasts here too?!
"What is a Star Beast?" Hongtang asked, not understanding.
"They are beast races that live in the airspace or on certain planets. They are enormous and extremely destructive. They usually compete with humans for survival resources and space, and some even prey on humans. Doesn't your First Interstellar Civilization have any star beasts?"
Wow, that's so ferocious. But I really want to see what a star beast looks like. But right now, my priority is to get some weapons for self-defense.
"Our area is very underdeveloped, and the star beasts are far away from us. I'd like to buy some weapons from you, is that alright?"
In a flash, Hongtang changed the words she was about to say, "We don't have any star beasts here," to "Star beasts are very far away from us."
"Sure, I'll send you the details." Hoss beamed with joy; he was finally about to close a deal.
A transparent display screen, about the size of a book, appeared in front of Hongtang and automatically turned the pages.
Hongtang's eyes lit up. These weapons are amazing!
She wanted everything: laser guns, energy guns, quantum cannons, and so on—things she didn't understand but seemed incredibly powerful!
But when you look at the prices, they're outrageously expensive! The cheapest airsoft gun costs 5000 million interdimensional coins. It's practically robbery.
She just spent 1000 million on energy stones from West Hill, and still has over 3000 million left. If she were to exchange them for goods, how much would she need to give up?
It seems there's still room for her product prices to rise.
Now let's look at the airsoft gun. It has a range of 1000 meters, and its attack power can penetrate the skull of a level 5 star beast. Moreover, it directly converts air into bullets, so there's no need to reload; you only need to aim. It also doesn't make a sound during use. Its size is the same as a regular handgun in China, making it easy to carry.
This is practically tailor-made for Hongtang. She needs this kind of "foolproof" weapon.
As for its power, the ferocity of a level 5 star beast in the fifth interstellar space should be even greater if converted to the ferocity of a star beast in the first interstellar space.
If she goes to the Blue Planet in the future and encounters some kind of star beast, she should be able to save her life with this gun.
Buy! I need to buy two more! Hongtang's shopping principle is, if you can't get a complete set, buy a pair.
The two airsoft guns would cost 1 million Star Coins, and she didn't have the money.
"Hoss, I want to buy two airsoft guns. Can I exchange them for vegetables and fruits?"
Hearing that Hongtang wanted to exchange fruits and vegetables, Huo Si was very excited. "Of course you can! You only want the airsoft gun? That's the lowest-grade weapon in my inventory. Why don't you look at something else?"
Fruits and vegetables are high-end goods in the Fifth Star System, unaffordable for ordinary people. Even though he was wealthy and usually very frugal, he never expected to be able to exchange two air guns for thousands of pieces of fruit and vegetables today—he really made a killing.
Why doesn't he consider changing careers and going into fruit and vegetable wholesale?
While the arms business is lucrative in the Fifth Star System, it also carries high risks, with frequent encounters with alien beasts while traversing planets. Furthermore, weapons are expensive, limiting the customer base.
Hmm, after this deal is done, I'll consider changing careers. It seems I have to become friends with this Ms. Hongtang no matter what.
"Ms. Xiaotang, let's add each other as friends! Then I can buy goods from you in the future."
Hongtang, "..." Did you even consider my feelings? I want to raise prices!
Soon, the younger sister converted 1 million star coins into the corresponding amount of fruits and vegetables and sent it to the other party.
Due to the large quantity, each item was counted as a transaction, and Hongtang successfully upgraded to a level three merchant.
