Chapter 4182 - 4201: The Frog Leaves the Well and Opens Its Eyes

Cook is certainly not trying to help Lin Chen; he’s just looking to sell one more person and earn a sum of money.

The young woman sized up Lin Chen and then Qiu Chan, chuckling lightly, "Just married?"

Lin Chen replied, "Yes, married, cross-planet travel, outdoor photography, accidentally stumbled upon their secret base, and got caught."

"You guys are quite unlucky."

The young woman chuckled, her smile full of charm, "I can buy your wife too, but you have to work hard to repay me."

Lin Chen agreed without hesitation, "As long as we’re together, I’ll definitely serve you wholeheartedly."

The young woman raised her hand and waved lightly, without any hint of smoke.

"Buy them both."

Cook’s face showed a smile as he leaned forward, "Okay, do you need anything else? We here..."

"No interest!"

The young woman waved her hand, interrupting Cook, "That’s it."

Two burly men stepped forward behind the woman, glaring at Cook, their enormous eyes filled with unmistakable malice.

Cook wisely shut his mouth, stepped back, and smiled, "Alright, honored guest, will these two be sent to the Flying Ship for you, or elsewhere?"

The young woman’s gaze fell on Lin Chen’s face, showing a subtle smile.

"Just let them follow me."

"Okay!"

After the young woman finished the payment, Cook sent the control password for the shackles on the two necks to the young woman.

In the slave trade, the password is the control authority of the shackles; whoever owns the password controls the slave’s life and is the slave’s master.

These shackles are somewhat different from those used by the Federation, but similar in nature. It’s just that Charming Erosion had already destroyed the explosive points inside the shackles; on the surface, everything is normal, except there will be no reaction when the controller tries to make the shackles explode.

Now, these shackles on the two necks are actually just harmless decorations.

"Follow!"

The young woman dropped a word and walked forward.

Lin Chen and Qiu Chan exchanged a glance, silently following behind the two large bodyguards.

Everything went smoothly!

This young woman seems to have a high status; wherever she goes, people avoid her, even lowering their gaze, not daring to look directly.

The young woman took a lap without buying anything else, then directly left.

After exiting the slave hall, the young woman entered another hall.

This hall was equally gigantic, filled with various technology products.

Universe Flying Ship, single Flying Shuttle, Energy Gun, Particle Cannon, Electromagnetic Gun, Mechanical Warrior...

These products had an impressive appearance and powerful functions, enough to attract any man’s eyesight.

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up; these were futuristic technology weapons he dreamed of as a child!

Dreams become reality!

The young woman took a tour, placed an order for a thousand powerful intelligent defense robots, a latest-model Universe Flying Ship, and many additional items.

These robots are highly intelligent and heavily armed, but they can only be used for daily patrol and prevention. If they encounter a powerhouse, they’re no different from lambs.

From the young woman’s words with others, Lin Chen learned that cultivators in the Magita Empire are called martial artists, but the grading is different from the Federation.

The grading used by the Magita Empire is universal across the Universe, while the Federation’s grading doesn’t differ from levels one to nine, but they don’t have the concept of Level 10.

Beyond Level 9, there’s a new realm.

In other words, Star Core Leader Xue Lingtian is already in a higher realm of power, having dominance-level advantage over Level 9 Martial Artists.

Lin Chen doesn’t know if the Federation is unaware of this grading system or if they intentionally don’t publicize it, since revealing this grading could make one feel as small as Ants.

According to the Universe’s rules for grading martial artists, levels one to nine are ordinary martial artists, the moniker being Star Dust Warriors, meaning as insignificant as cosmic dust.

Above Level 9 is the Nebula Martial Artist.

Nebula Martial Artists have terrifying combat power, enough to roam the stars with their bodies.

Xue Lingtian should be a Nebula Martial Artist.

Above Nebula Martial Artists are even stronger existences, but in terms of the Magita Empire, the strongest is said to be a Peak Nebula Martial Artist.

The grading of Universe influence and martial artist is closely related; Planet-level Influence, Nebula-level Influence, Galaxy-level Influence, etc.

Understanding these, Lin Chen felt like he was dreaming.

They say the Universe is infinitely large, but the former myself has always been like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see the Sky beyond the well, thinking the entire world is this big. But what I know, see, and imagine compared to the real Universe is so small it can be ignored.

The Federation also belongs to a Nebula-level Influence, but a very weak one, whereas the Magita Empire is an extremely strong Nebula-level Influence.

Walking along, listening along.

Lin Chen gradually pieced together the truth.

The Cosmic Covenant stipulates that forces are prohibited from invading members belonging to the same upper-level influence for no reason.

Simply put, the Boss has regulations; underlings can have disputes but can’t resort to fighting.

The Federation and Magita Empire belong to the same influence.

Lan Guang Star Alliance.

The Lan Guang Star Alliance is a Galaxy-level Influence, with hundreds of Nebula-level Influences under it; the Main body is the Human Clan and various humanoid races like the Beastman Clan, demon race, etc.

Knowing the truth, Lin Chen and Qiu Chan both breathed a big sigh of relief.

Although shocked by the vast Universe influence, knowing the Magita Empire wouldn’t attack the Federation, at least they don’t need to worry the Magita army would suddenly arrive at the Federation one day.

At this point, the two had some guesses about the rebel’s actions.

After failing in the internal struggle within the Federation, the rebels connected with the Magita Empire through some special channel and formed some partnership with certain influences within it.

This is the final retreat for the rebels.

Slave trading might just be a small part of their cooperation.

The Cosmic Covenant rules that you can’t attack each other, but capturing some slaves to sell, what does that count for?

What’s more, these slaves were caught by our own people.

After confirming the Federation’s safety, Lin Chen began to consider personal issues.

The woman who bought me belongs to the Xilin Clan, an aquatic amphibious race; when they are in the sea, they transform into a half-human, half-fish form, and once on land, they can transform into full human form.

Unadult Xilin Clan members live under the Sea bottom, unable to Transform; only when they reach a certain strength level, can they change shape and appear on land.

The woman comes from a star called Xi Yue, where the Xilin Clan is the Master.

The Xilin Clan is naturally Strong as a race, famous among many races within the Magita Empire, which is why others are respectful to the woman.

Lin Chen was somewhat troubled; the crisis resolved, should we now Go?
