The light in David's eyes became brighter. The corner of her lips slightly lifted, and she showed an understanding smile. If there was no one else in the room, he would raise his head and laugh out loud.
This thing was the legendary Nine Stars Spinning Iron. When David was dealing with the Meteor Chamber, they requested this item as a means of payment for their transaction. In addition, they say that they can do anything for David if he can give them this thing.
From this, one could tell that the Nine-Star Spinning Iron was extremely rare. David didn't think he would get this rare object randomly. He was very surprised. If he were to turn this Nine Stars Spinning Iron into an Evil Splitting Sword just like the system had said, he could slash through everything in the world and ward off all evil things in combination with the Evil Splitting Sword Technique he had just learned.
‘Wow, squeeze everything. Which means there is nothing in this universe that I cannot slash after I have a sword. How bad*ss is!'
If someone else said this, David probably thought they were lying. But, David would trust whatever the system said unconditionally. After all, it gave David too many surprises.
Oren looked at David's smile, and he shuddered. Oren wanted to slap himself.
‘Master David said he didn't want anyone to send him any more stuff, but I insisted on sending him this. Great, I've walked right into his trap.'
If Oren had not heard from the other bounty hunters that David would pay according to the value of the goods as compensation and the money was not small, he would not have offered David this stupid stone.
Over a year ago, his bounty hunter group had a near-death experience on an unknown planet. Fewer than ten people survived among the team of over a hundred people.
This is a big loss. This greatly affected them, and they did not dare to venture anymore. Moreover, they had lost so many people, and in the end, they had only brought back this stupid hard rock.
They thought this might be a precious metal ore, and they could sell it so they could send the money to family members of their dead teammates.
At the very least, they thought it could ease the burden of those who had children and raise the children of their deceased comrades. In the end, no one knew what this thing was even after they brought it up for various assessments.
Only one person would buy it for research. But, Oren refused to sell because the price was too cheap. After all, this stupid stone was in exchange for the lives of nearly a hundred of his teammates.
The price mentioned by the buyer is hardly enough for the widows. Let alone letting them live without worry. It is not enough to buy proper clothes for your family.
Oren finally kept the stone. He still had hope when he kept it. Once he sold it for a cheap price, all his hopes would be shattered. Moreover, Oren thought this would be more valuable since he took it from a dangerous place.
It must be because that person was not knowledgeable enough. But, a child from one of his teammates had recently fallen seriously ill. Even if it is not too severe, the child needs a lot of money for treatment. Plus, they have not done any missions or adventures in the past year. How will they get the money?
Therefore, when they heard David would pay according to the value of the goods as compensation, Oren came up with the stone. He hopes David is knowledgeable enough to give him an acceptable price so that he can finish compensating his team-mates, and soothe his painful feelings all along.
Otherwise, he would not have felt comfortable his entire life. After all, David had a relationship with Princess Astrid, and he would probably become the princess' husband in the future. However, Oren did not expect that David was such a "that" person".
After David turned off the system, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked, “Master, may I know what your name is? Where did you get Iron Nine.I mean, this stone?” david's words also resuscitated Oren.
“Mr David, my name is Oren Underwood. You don't have to call me Sir, just call me Oren. When our group of bounty hunters went exploring, we found this stone on an alien planet. The planet is very dangerous. We lost 90% of our teammates to get this stone.” Oren said in a low voice.
That trip will be his sore point forever. His brothers, who used to eat and drink with him, had all died there. Every time he saw that stupid rock, Oren would remember the deaths of his brothers.
He repeatedly wanted to throw it away but felt reluctant. This stupid stone was the only chance to compensate his dead brother's family.
“Sorry, I remind you of your sad memories. Can you still find the planet? If you can, I hope you can take me there. I can compensate you.” asked David.
The Nine Stars Spinning Iron was an extremely valuable item in the universe, so naturally, it would be best to have it more. If David can find the source, he wants to go there and look for more.
If there were no living beings on that planet, he would not hesitate to destroy that planet to see if there were more Nine-Star Spinning Iron.
“I'm sorry, Mr. David. I'm afraid we can't find him anymore. It was an unexplored area, and while we were there, the planet kept moving very fast. Now a year has passed, whether it has moved anywhere." replied Oren.
“So so. Do you know what this is? Have you ever shown it to anyone before? Has no one else ever given you a price for that?" David kept asking.
David was not disappointed that he could not identify the source. It was enough to turn this iron into the Evil Splitting Sword.
For David, what is more important is the number of points he got this time.
"I don't know. I show this to a lot of people, but they don't know what it is. I think it's a rare metal ore. Besides, it's very hard to break. I tried many techniques, but I still couldn't break them. Some people wanted to buy it for research, but the price was too low, so I didn't sell it. Mr David, do you know what this is? Can you tell me? After all, over a hundred of my teammates died for this stupid rock. I should at least make sure my brother dies without regret.” asked Oren expectantly after hearing David's reply.
When David heard that, he thought, 'Right. No one knows what this is. And for Oren to say he couldn't ruin it no matter what he did, it was obvious.'
The system said no one in this level 3 civilization could fuse this Nine-Star Spinning Iron, let alone this was an extremely precious treasure. Oren was only a mercenary in the Cosmos Rank Partial, so naturally, he was unable to damage the Nine Stars Spinning Iron.
"Of course, Mr David! Since I've brought her here, I don't plan on bringing her back.” Oren replied quickly.
“Very good! Ha ha ha ha! Oren, you're my friend now. From now on, you can come and look for me if you need anything or are having problems. You don't have to be polite to me. As long as you are on the right track, I promise, no one in the entire Milky Way will dare bully you.” David said with a bitter laugh.
He's very happy. This time, not only could he obtain something as valuable as the Nine Stars Spinning Iron, he could even spend eight trillion and earn eighty thousand luxurious points.
”Thank you, Mr. David.” Oren clenched his hands together and said.
At this moment, he was not too excited. After all, he still thought David liked men and only said that to approach Oren in the future. Oren won't give David that chance. He has decided. After this deal, he would never go back to see David again.
Oren still doesn't understand what David's promise means. Once this deal is completed, David will spend eight trillion and earn eighty thousand luxury points. Then, he would increase his strength to become an Eternal Partial.
that would be the top combat power in the Milky Way, and David would be on the same level as Emperor Nimbus. Without exaggerating, anyone with the promise of someone with the same combat power as the Emperor could do whatever they wanted in the Milky Way.
At least, no one dared to bully him openly. Even Emperor Nimbus would not dare to do this without careful consideration. David will be stronger than the royal family of the Milky Way Empire.
Right now, Oren still thinks of not wanting to see David again. Of course, it was because he did not know the truth. Otherwise, not even a fool would think that way.
“You don't have to thank me. You're too polite, Oren. I should have thanked you. You helped me solve a big problem. You are my savior." David looked at Oren and said politely, and a face full of smiles.
Oren could not bear David's gaze. So he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Master David, what exactly is this stupid rock?"
"This stupid rock is called the Iron Nine Spinning Stars." replied David.
"Iron Nine Stars Spinning? Whatisit? What is its usefulness?”
“Hmm, how should I explain this? Simply put, it is a very valuable metal. There are many uses for it. We can increase our attack and weapon defense if we put this iron in it.”
“That's it?"
Oren wondered how powerful it was. In the end, it was just a complementary tool. Oren was unable to understand how precious the Nine-Star Spinning Iron was. His knowledge and experience showed how stupid he was. But, this is normal. After all, not many people in the Milky Way knew what it was. David would also think it was just a stupid piece of hard rock if not for his system.
“I understand, Mr. David. Since you said this stupid stone is a very precious metal, I wonder, how much are you planning to pay me?" Oren finally asked a question he cared more about.
He desperately needs money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed here. A year ago, after returning from the brink of death, Oren promised the families of his deceased teammates that he would compensate them so they would be given basic needs.
He believed he could get a high price with this stupid stone. But a year had passed, and he still had the stone. The promise also seems so far away. He was so helpless when the son of his team-mates fell ill. Sometimes, a man without money is not a man at all.
David showed Oren eight fingers. But, he did not mention the exact price. He was worried about scaring Oren, so he decided to mentally prepare Oren first.
“Eight million?" Oren asked in disappointment.
To be honest, eight million was not too low. No one had ever proposed more than a million to him before. But, for Oren, that wasn't enough. Over a hundred teams died, and this item was extremely valuable. He needed at least ten times this price if he wanted to keep his promise.
But since he took the stone and promised David that he would never take it again, he shouldn't have taken it. He desperately needed money, and time did not wait for anyone.
He would make other plans for his promise in the future. As long as he was alive, he would not forget it. Oren had received this price in his heart. But David shook his head, gesturing to Oren that he was wrong.
Oren stunned. 'Not eight million? It can't be eight hundred thousand. After all, wasn't this Sir David's word of the Nine Stars Spinning Iron extremely precious? Eight million already sounds bad, how would a great man like Mr David be interested in something worth eight hundred thousand? Could it be eighty million?‘
Oren was filled with excitement. 'I was right to come here this time. Mr. David knows what he's doing.'
"Eighty j-million?" Oren asked carefully.
David shook his head again. Oren's confused. 'It's not 8 million or 80 million, but a number that starts with eight. 'Could it?‘
Oren suddenly widened his eyes and stuttered, ”T-TTuan David, a-is this eight hundred million?”
David kept shaking his head. Oren was completely confused this time. He had said all the numbers he could. If he were to go up, it would be eight Billion Galaxy Dollars, that would be impossible. But, eight hundred thousand did not seem like a suitable number for David.
“Mr David, stop playing me. I don't know how much it is. Please tell me.” Oren said.
