Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 730 - 341. The Road to the Bishop

Chapter 730: 341. The Road to the Bishop

Li Aozi passed through the portal, returning to Disweil’s villa, with no expression on his implanted face.

"Hmm? You’re back so soon?"

Disweil said in surprise:

"Did you manage to complete the trade already?"

"I got the most important thing." Li Aozi nodded, saying: "I need you to sell some items for me; I have to leave quickly."

"In such a hurry?" Disweil was astonished, but still kindly said: "But it’s fine. I’ll help you sell them. Give me your list and items."

Li Aozi didn’t waste words. With a wave of his large hand, he poured out a variety of items from the Autonomous Space-Time Bag in front of him.

"...Wow, quite a collection."

Disweil shrugged, stepping forward and picking up a light blue cube:

"But this thing looks quite unremarkable; it shouldn’t be anything precious—what the hell, it’s a Crolite Crystal! This rare carrier can only be collected near black holes using extreme gravity, with ultra-high compressibility! It can hold up to a full kilogram of data! It’s the best chip material!"

"Find a suitable buyer and sell it." Li Aozi said plainly. "This thing is useless to me; I’m not a [Mechanic], and it won’t help me. I’ll give you a six percent commission."

"That’s quite generous of you." Disweil sighed, then looked toward a delicate crystal origami crane on the ground, his eyes widening:

"...If I may ask, is this Thousand-Refined Crystal Paper from the War Beyond the Abyss period?"

"Yes." Li Aozi said: "I can’t use it and don’t know what it’s good for. You can sell it as you see fit."

"And this—"

Disweil tossed aside his cane, grabbing a small red ceramic pig with one hand and a luxurious postcard with the other:

"Is this a ritual vessel of the [God of Boars], Kosbon? And this postcard, inscribed with runes—is it the holy scripture of the Technico Saint? Is it authentic?"

"Maybe. I’m not sure." Li Aozi said vaguely: "But it seems to have some connection with them."

"...It’s unbelievable." Disweil wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, utterly shocked: "If you put these items on the market, you could buy a thousand planets with them!"

"The market wouldn’t dare accept these items, and I’d certainly be robbed. The value of these things is enough to trample on laws and ethics." Li Aozi said calmly:

"After much thought, I feel safest entrusting them to you, Disweil. And by giving them to you, these items will circulate among us hunters, benefiting everyone."

"You’re right, Lord Leoz. You truly are a great person."

Disweil was moved.

Li Aozi’s generosity and foresight were indeed rare—once these items hit the market, they would cause a sensation and fetch sky-high prices.

But Li Aozi didn’t let greed cloud his judgment. He knew he couldn’t handle these things alone and considered the safety and prosperity of the hunters.

He really... Disweil was deeply touched.

Even a six percent commission on nearly 10 billion ammonium gold worth of goods was a terrifying number.

Li Aozi didn’t lack this.

Most of these items were purchased with point tickets from the [Mall] by the Invincible True General, then traded to his main body and directly transferred across spacetime—a cost-free middleman venture.

Furthermore, while these items seemed rare now, in a thousand years, people would gradually discover how to synthesize them.

Because a thousand years later, it would be Version 10.0, where these items were just consumables.

Li Aozi hadn’t even started selling items from the Version 14.0 Mall yet...

Li Aozi wasn’t in a hurry to collect ammonium gold. In fact, after a few repeated investments, his assets could easily reach 200 billion within the next ten years.

For him now, time was more valuable than money.

"It’s all up to you, Mr. Disweil."

Li Aozi said as he tore open a spatial rift, then turned and reminded Disweil:

"By the way, the lower Starry Abyss has been unstable lately. Remind the Underwater Abyss Team to be ready."

"Are you referring to the Silent Missing Incident?"

"That matter is more complicated than it seems. The three Narrative-Level Civilizations within Layer Abyss have some internal issues." Li Aozi shook his head: "Pay attention to a person named Xue Yi. He should be around... ten years old now?"

"You mean Xue Yi? The young noble from the Snow World Civilization?" Disweil said: "They just finished their visit and left to visit other nations. They should be in the warp stage now."

"Hmm..." Li Aozi frowned.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

Li Aozi thought for a moment and shook his head:

"...It’s probably just historical inertia."

Even in the worst-case scenario, if Layer Abyss plunged into chaos, it wouldn’t negatively affect him. In the future, the [Woman of Depravity] might even rise through three layers, ascend to Starry Abyss, and start a massacre—maybe his players could kill her, giving them more training.

[Sigh, I’m becoming more and more like Leoz. I wonder what it will be like when the day of fusion comes—but it probably won’t matter. After all, even without Leoz, reaching Kappa Rank (10) means you’re no longer human. At Omega (24), who knows what you’ll be.]

Li Aozi chuckled to himself.

After discussing some sale and trade strategies, he bid Disweil farewell. More urgent matters awaited him.

Li Aozi immediately stepped into the spatial rift and, in the next moment, appeared in a vacuum.

[Sixfold Unity.]

The Armor of Leoz quickly materialized, the giant god enveloped in ethereal blue starlight spread its arms open, swallowing him like a waterfall and transforming into armor attached to Li Aozi’s body.

The iridescent [Pegasus Wings] spread out, and Li Aozi accelerated instantly, leaving the conventional interstellar route behind and heading for the starry sky.

In fact, with the aid of [Pegasus Wings] and [Gravity], he could already fly at sub-light speed in space, but doing so was too dangerous and less efficient than using a Star Gate.

However, Puro Retalya not only provided him with the spatial coordinates but also marked the best route and Star Gate coordinates to Dragon Satellite.

Li Aozi naturally didn’t waste time, following the prepared route at full speed while not forgetting to call the X Fleet, sending them a gravitational wave communication.

"Commander Dalian, this is Leoz."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, what are your orders?"

Commander Dalian, already accustomed to the President’s unique abilities, initially used to be startled by the Echo from miles away and felt quite excited, but later became more familiar, even somewhat indifferent.

"The main ship stays; mobilize the Descender forces. Send two brigades to the Constant Haze System; you’re allowed to enter the restricted zone."

Li Aozi instructed.

Commander Dalian was stunned by this but quickly said heavily:

"Your Excellency the President, are you planning to..."

Li Aozi replied:

"Prepare all divine aberration switches. If things go south, we might have to face a Void Overlord."

"Uh... a Void Overlord? What rank is that approximately?"

"I don’t know. Void creatures usually operate in the upper Starry Abyss as projections, so their power won’t be too strong, but they lack curses." Li Aozi shook his head:

"In the worst-case scenario, we’re up against a Kappa (10)."
