Cosmic Trading System

Lin Yun had spent a tremendous amount of money on this detection device, which returned densely packed resource information to him at an impressive scan rate as it hurtled along.

In the meantime, Lin Yun, Lin Yu, and Star One started moving about the moon, sensing its various aspects and attuning to all forms of lunar information.

Both Lin Yu and Star One, possessing humanlike thought processes, were excellent analysts of external information, rivaling Lin Yun in their proficiency. In fact, their massive strength, coupled with their robot-like nature and inherent understanding of the universe, allowed them to see even more.

Therefore, Lin Yun frequently communicated with them, reaping many benefits in the process.

...

As Lin Yun, Star One, and Lin Yu were walking on the moon, the mainframes of all nations on Earth were once again abuzz.

The location where Lin Yun's group had tested Star One's strength wasn't under any country's jurisdiction, implying that it could be monitored by many nations.

Soon, the footage displaying Star One's power was broadcasted in the centers of various nations.

"My God! A single person's power, can be this incredible!"

"That's Lin Yun and Lin Yu, they are with Lin Yun, I can't believe Lin Yun has someone this powerful around him!"

"Every teleportation spans about a hundred thousand meters, he can teleport at least eighty times per second, which means he could be anywhere on Earth in just a few seconds, that's godlike power...."

"This man's strength absolutely surpasses the one we saw beside Lin Yun at the Qingyun Building in India last time!"

"Fortunate indeed, that we chose not to continue opposing this Lin Yun, his power is just too formidable!"

Officials of various nations exclaimed one after another.

"Look here! This information transmitted from the moon indicates that they have made it there!"

"Goodness, it's been no more than a minute..."

"They can just move around the moon without any protective gear, carrying on normal activities and conversations..."

Just as the officials were astounded, yet another shocking piece of information came through, leaving them at a loss for words.

In less than a minute, they had traveled from Earth to the moon, constituting an unprecedented achievement. Seeing Lin Yun's group casually strolling on the moon, the officials could not help but be apprehensive.

"Send an urgent message to all departments, do not, I repeat, do not antagonize Lin Yun or Qingyun Company. Temporarily suspend lunar surveillance!"

"The dynamics of power on Earth are indeed undergoing a shift!"

Quickly, the information was relayed downward by officials in various countries, who felt rather overwhelmed.

The spectacle they had just witnessed gave them a deeper understanding of Lin Yun's strength.

Moreover, they started to doubt their initial thoughts.

With Lin Yun's formidable power, could they really resist him if he decided to rule the globe? Did their countries have the strength to claim sovereignty and rule their own territories?

This was indeed a bitter pill to swallow.

Originally, they saw hope in the game released by Qingyun Company...

Now, the viewing of this event increased their desperation.

"Perhaps, the high-tech goods that Lin Yun gave us a while ago and the subsequent release of the game, could it be his way of making us, or rather, the Earth's human race, stronger? Is it possible that he...thinks we're not strong enough? That we're too weak?"

Suddenly, one of the higher-ups raised this idea. Once it was voiced, they could not ignore it.

"If that's the case, then Lin Yun doesn't seem to think much of us..."

Then, the same official gave a bitter smile.

"Perhaps it's for the best. When that unknown civilization finally arrives, Lin Yun and they might fight to a standstill, leaving the field open for us. The temporal chaos that would ensue could be an ideal opportunity for us. Right now, the game that Qingyun Company released is our own opportunity.

We should encourage as many people as possible to participate in the game, spare no effort or expense to grow stronger, and utilize a substantial amount of capital to purchase in-game currency... "

A high-ranking official voiced out his stern views.

No matter what ideas these high-ranking officials of Earth had, at the moment, they were in unanimous agreement that there should absolutely be no provocation of Lin Yun or Qingyun Company.

On the moon.

At this time, Lin Yun had already deployed equipment to gather resources and had begun resource collection.

Gathering one area of resources after another, in just one hour, Lin Yun had harvested millions of Spirit Crystals.

It had to be said, within the universe, the most challenging was finding resources. Once found, it was like picking up money.

Hour after hour passed, Lin Yun's harvest grew even more substantial.

"The moon is a critical satellite around Earth, and the resources here should not be harvested too excessively. Thankfully, the resources here are also very abundant, especially a particular kind of rare resource, which is of high value. I have harvested resources worth approximately seven million Spirit Crystals..."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun and his companions had spent seven to eight hours on the moon.

The scanner had already scanned the resources within a 10,000-meter depth of the moon.

At this time, Lin Yun had also gathered resources worth approximately seven million Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun picked up his equipment and stated softly.

The resources on Earth and the moon were very abundant, but he didn't dare to gather too much. Even, for the sake of gravity whose usefulness he was unsure of, he fully compensated for the mass of resources he gathered with almost the same weight of floating soil.

"It would be better to gather resources from other planets..."

Lin Yun looked up at the stars beyond and said so.

It had to be said, without the thick atmosphere of Earth, viewing the starry sky here was incredibly clear.

Countless stars were twinkling, as if winking at him, causing Lin Yun's heartbeat to slightly quicken.

In his view, each of those were vast resources, vast amounts of Spirit Crystals waiting for him to harvest.

However, traversing within the solar system was doable; he could ask Star One to accompany him and spend some time reaching his destination.

Outside the solar system, that was unthinkable. He must acquire a spaceship, or a battleship, to make the trip.

Otherwise, Star One could take him, but the amount of time and the number of Spirit Crystals that would be consumed would be astonishing.

Then, his harvest, compared to Star One's consumption, would be just a drop in the ocean.

Other planets...

The first ones Lin Yun thought of were the eight large planets.

Earth was one of the eight planets in the solar system.

The other seven planets were too far away from Earth.

Almost 100 times the distance from Earth to the moon.

Although it was only 100 times more, the consumption was higher.

For Star One to take them from Earth to the moon, despite it taking only 31 seconds of continuous teleportation, around ten thousand Spirit Crystals were consumed. Lin Yun could afford this expense.

If it was 100 times more, it would cost at least more than a million Spirit Crystals.

A round trip would consume over three million Spirit Crystals.

How much Lin Yun could harvest on those planets wasn't certain, and it had to be noted, not every planet had rare resources. If all the resources discovered were ordinary resources, then it wouldn't be worth it.

This was only for the nearest of the seven bigger planets. For the others, it could be dozens of times more based on this calculation.

That would be several tens of millions of Spirit Crystals, even up to hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals' consumption.

Not to mention outside the solar system.

That was the reason why Star One taking them outside the solar system was not feasible.

Long-distance travel was cheapest with a spaceship.

However, within the solar system, in addition to the eight planets, there were countless asteroids, up to billions.

Many asteroids were not far from Earth and the moon; he could check them out.

Lin Yun looked at the various asteroids around the moon.

Soon, he chose a target.

"Star One, Lin Yu, let's go, to that asteroid," Lin Yun waved his hand, putting away the mining equipment in front of him, he said.
