426: Chapter 406: Shop Around Part 2 426: Chapter 406: Shop Around Part 2 “Don’t say that, it might be an easy job, but I don’t envy it at all.

I’m quite satisfied with my current situation; at least we have the chance to witness the Star Sea!”

“True!”

“Okay, let’s not talk about that anymore.

Let’s hurry and deliver these supply boxes to the port and get them on board the ship then we can go shopping.”

Xiao Wen looked at the several tightly sealed boxes in front of him.

Although they weren’t very large, he estimated they were quite valuable.

If it weren’t for the fact that no one dared to mess around in Star Ring City, he would definitely have transported them back at the first opportunity.

“Alright!”

…

Elsewhere, Su Mo had just walked out of a private store with a look of distress on his face.

The quality of the goods inside was not great, but they were still outrageously expensive.

The most annoying part was the store owner, who kept beating around the bush, asking all sorts of questions.

The shopping experience was downright terrible.

“Brother, you’re here for supplies, right?

I’ve got a whole batch of military goods here, great quality for a low price!”

“Don’t listen to him, I have a batch of ships, even cheaper….”

“Trust me, I have a batch of Mecha, all brand-new.”

“Bullshit, those Mechas of yours are centuries-old antiques.”

…..

At that moment, three or four persistent scalpers immediately crowded around, trying to snatch each other’s business.

Unfortunately, Su Mo wasn’t interested at all.

He had just glanced over the store’s goods and found the quality lacking, with the best thing being a third-generation Mecha which was already quite dated.

But the advantage was the possibility of bargaining!

Just then, Su Mo saw a Mechanical Pillar not far ahead and was instantly drawn to it.

He ignored the scalpers and went straight to it.

The scalpers, seeing Su Mo head towards the Mechanical Pillar, deflated like balloons, each letting out a sigh.

Soon, Su Mo was in front of the Mechanical Pillar.

He reached out a hand and pressed against the pillar; instantly, the pillar emitted a special aura, which enveloped him.

Then, a special holographic screen appeared in front of him.

A list of catalogs appeared, dazzling Su Mo.

He quickly skimmed through the overall catalog.

The Mechanical Pillar offered over a million different items for sale, which was incredibly impressive.

It had everything from first to fifth civilization goods.

Su Mo frantically started to filter and browse.

After a while, he furrowed his brows; even though here the fifth-generation Mechas were also sold for 100 billion, they were marked as standard models.

Their performance data was a lot worse than the outdated goods from the old store.

Su Mo continued to browse through the Star Destroying Cannon, fifth-generation Bio Armor, and more.

But the comparison revealed that the prices were exorbitant, with the Mechanical Pillar’s items almost 20 percent more expensive than the store’s for the same quality State.

By that logic, the store’s goods were actually priced fairly, without much inflation.

No wonder the old man had an attitude of ‘take it or leave it,’ not giving any face.

Even though he confirmed that the Mechanical Pillar’s goods were more expensive, Su Mo didn’t close the interface but continued browsing.

The Mechanical Pillar’s selection was relatively comprehensive, and safety was more assured.

Su Mo quickly summoned the Genetic Enhancement Injection.

Whssh!

A whole interface popped up!

Over a hundred different types of Genetic Injectors appeared, ranging from Type I to Type V, with all the varieties in between.

And for each type of Genetic Injector, there were different branches and categories, all with varying prices.

But a closer look showed that the All-Purpose Perfect CRES Gene Injection was the most expensive, crushing the prices of other injectors of the same type by several or even dozens of times.

Su Mo clicked on it to check and clear instructions popped up saying, “Non-Mutated Genetic Enhancement Injection, no side effects.

It does not damage gene stability and can maximize the strengthening of mental and physical strength, immune to negative intrusions below Type V.”

Su Mo tentatively clicked on the Type I priced at 100 Star Coin (discounted), Type II for 1 million Star Coin, Type III for 10 million Star Coin, Type IV for 100 million Star Coin, and Type V for 1 billion Star Coin.

It was practically highway robbery!

Su Mo took a deep breath, his hand trembling slightly as he made a few clicks to purchase the most expensive set of Genetic Injectors.

After all, these were being injected into his body, and it was better to buy the best quality for peace of mind.

Besides, even if the private stores were cheaper, he wouldn’t want to shop there.

Who knows if they might be selling counterfeit products or cutting corners.

The Mechanical Pillar should be more reliable.

At that moment, the Mechanical Pillar popped up a message: “Please exchange gold points and silver points for Star Coin first.

Would you like to exchange?”

“Yes!”

Su Mo clicked.

The next second, the center slot of the Mechanical Pillar ejected a Metal Card.

Su Mo pulled it out; it was something like a bank card, except this device seemed to be bound to biological traits, need no password, and only the owner could use it.

Right after, Su Mo clicked to settle the payment.

“Transaction successful, please proceed to Biological Warehouse G7632 to collect your purchased items.

As you have reached the spending threshold, you are rewarded with one year of free stay time in Star Ring City.”

Su Mo was somewhat surprised by the last prompt, not expecting a bonus.

Then he asked curiously.

“How can one stay for a long time in Star Ring City?”

You need to purchase property in Star Ring City and pay a fixed tax every year to obtain residency rights; otherwise, you will be forcibly evicted.”

Su Mo opened the interface to check the properties of Star Ring City, his lips twitching slightly.

None of the house prices were below ten million Star Coin; it was downright robbery!

In that moment, Su Mo even felt as if the entire Star Ring City was an invisible vampire, draining those who wished to reside here and indirectly forcing them to leave.
