At the Thorn Tuo Mall, Su Ke was busy purchasing the slaves he desired.
It might sound unethical, but the universe doesn't operate on such principles.
“Two more Psycher Masters of Stellar level ninth order.”
“Five warriors of Astral Rank 1st Order, and five Psycher Masters of Astral Rank 1st Order.”
“Give me 1,000 Planet level ninth order slaves.”
“No problem.” The snake woman, Bo Ya, had a rosy complexion, and her voice carried an unusual charm. The more Su Ke bought, the more excited she became.
After some negotiation, the transaction was finally concluded at a price of 35.5 billion jialan coins.
“When can the handover take place?” Su Ke asked after paying the deposit. With so many slaves, if he were to leave, he would need to buy a larger spaceship to accommodate them all.
“They will definitely be delivered within 48 hours.” The snake woman immediately replied. Purple Phoenix Star is the largest slave market among hundreds of surrounding star systems, so the supply is very abundant.
“Good, then I'll wait for you for 48 hours.” Su Ke nodded. “When you contact me, I will tell you the receiving location.”
Leaving the slave market, Su Ke stayed at a very famous luxury hotel in the city called 'Emerald Water Paradise,' experiencing the extravagant life of the upper class and the wealthy.
For two days, Su Ke stayed in the hotel, not stepping out, making his subsequent purchasing plans, and also ordering a C6-class spaceship online. It was entirely gray, over a hundred meters in diameter, divided into three layers, and cost 1.3 billion jialan coins. The maximum speed of this type of spaceship in the Dark Universe is 1.6 times the speed of light.
C-class spaceships generally travel at a little over 1 times the speed of light, and even E-class spaceships are only a few times faster. Very few F-class spaceships in the entire Cosmic Country can reach 50 times the speed of light.
Before the two days were up, Su Ke, still in the hotel, received a communication from the slave market.
“They’ve arrived? Good, the location is…” After finishing the conversation, Su Ke ended the call, a smile appearing on his face. Soon, he would have a group of powerful and reliable bodyguards. Although Su Ke seemed to have had a comfortable two days, he was actually always on edge, not daring to leave the hotel casually without protection.
In a spacious plaza in the southern district of Purple Phoenix City, Su Ke's newly ordered spaceship was temporarily docked.
Next to the spaceship, there was a dense crowd of people.
The two parties completed the handover smoothly.
“Mr. Su, the transaction is complete, it was a pleasure doing business with you.” The snake woman, Bo Ya, looked down at the auxiliary optical computer, where the final payment had already arrived. She swayed her voluptuous body with a beaming smile, followed by several bodyguards. “If you have any further needs, please feel free to contact us anytime. We are very honored to serve you.”
“It was a pleasure doing business.” Su Ke turned his head to look at the more than a thousand fierce-looking slaves who had just “recognized him as their master,” feeling very satisfied.
This was the guarantee of his life. Now he finally had some sense of security, no longer feeling terrified even walking on the street.
“You, except for the two Stellar level ninth order, all enter the spaceship.” Su Ke commanded. He still wanted to continue shopping in the city, and it would be too conspicuous to have so many people accompanying him all the time.
“Yes, Master.” The slaves, implanted with biological chips, were very obedient and boarded the spaceship in an orderly fashion.
Only Su Ke and the two Stellar level ninth order slaves remained at the scene.
“What are your names?” Su Ke smiled as he looked at his two strongest slaves.
“Hai'er.” The burly man with blood-red skin, muscles like steel, exuding a beast-like aura, and nearly two meters tall, replied respectfully.
“Liu Mila.” The other woman, with a cold demeanor, petite figure, skin faintly resembling beautiful jade, and straight blue hair, also said respectfully.
“Good, Hai'er, Liu Mila, from now on you will follow me.” Su Ke nodded. “I can't make too many promises to you, but as long as you do your work well for me, I will not treat you unfairly.” He knew that the chip could control the life and death of slaves, but it couldn't prevent them from secretly slacking off, so he still had to give them some incentive.
Slaves without hope are walking corpses; only by seeing hope can they unleash their motivation.
“Yes.” Both Hai'er and Liu Mila replied respectfully. They both felt that this young master was even easier to get along with than they had imagined.
“Alright, let's go shopping.” Su Ke waved his hand, full of vigor. He also needed to buy weapons and equipment for his slaves on this trip, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to exert their full strength.
With escorts, he could now shop and stroll at ease.
Treasure Gallery is the premier store on Purple Phoenix Star, with a significant background. Its headquarters are on Emperor Capital Star, and its branches are spread across every important planet. It is said that even the owner of Purple Phoenix Star is unwilling to offend the power behind it.
Under the escort of his two slaves, Su Ke stepped into this grand and dazzlingly decorated shop.
Inside the store, divided by area, there were combat suits, beast taming supplies, force weapons, psychic weapons, strange fruits, planetary specialties, robots, and more, a wide variety of everything. All had simulated projection images, and every item was incredibly expensive.
“First, let's get… spatial storage items.” Su Ke already had a plan and led his two escorts along the signs to the section selling space rings.
Su Ke's gaze swept across, and he suddenly caught sight of a figure.
“Hmm? Is that…?” Su Ke paused, thought for a moment, and changed his direction.
In a corner of the first floor of the store, a burly chimpanzee man was with a thin, two-headed man. Both were wearing the uniform store attire.
“Work hard. I put in a lot of effort to get you a job as a clerk here.”
“I know.” The burly chimpanzee man said seriously. He also knew how rare an opportunity it was to work at this Treasure Gallery; even being the lowest-ranking clerk was something countless Planetary Level individuals would fight tooth and nail for.
“Uncle Lu Ding.” A voice came, causing the two to look up.
A young man with white hair and red eyes, a handsome, flawless face, and dressed in black, walked over. Behind him followed two escorts whose aura subtly made people's hearts palpitate.
“This is…” The two-headed male clerk's face immediately changed drastically. He was well-traveled and without thinking too much, immediately showed an extremely respectful smile. “Esteemed guest, may I ask you…”
Sweat was about to drip from both of his heads. He secretly glanced at his auxiliary optical computer, his heart trembling. Two Stellar level ninth order escorts—what kind of background was this?
Such a big shot was simply not to be offended. Although they were employees of Treasure Gallery, they had no status whatsoever. A single word from the other party could send them to eternal damnation.
Su Ke ignored him and instead smiled directly at the somewhat bewildered burly chimpanzee man. “Uncle Lu Ding, we meet again. So you work here.”
“You, you are…” Lu Ding immediately recognized that this young man was the extremely weak Apprentice Level young fellow he had encountered on the spaceship. At the time, he had sighed that this young fellow was so audacious, daring to run out alone to such a dangerous place. Now, he couldn't help but look at the two male and female escorts behind the young man, whose aura filled him with fear, as if they were his protectors, and his heart was shocked.
He understood. This was no weak Apprentice Level who overestimated himself; this was clearly a major figure from some powerful faction! And he had self-righteously wanted to help the other party.
“You guys…” The two-headed male clerk next to him seemed to realize that the situation was not what he had initially imagined and couldn't help but ask a question.
“You know each other?”
