Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Level 9 Spiritual Mind Master of the Planet
Translator: 549690339
With Ronnie and Shac, the three of them took Lin Zhen’s small spaceship to the slave market.
Jade Star has a population of 300 billion, and there are thousands of slave markets in it. Every day, many people from various ethnic groups are transported to Jade Star from all over the Milky Way.
The area Lin Zhen is currently in is the most prosperous area of Jade Star, close to the Imperial City. There is the largest slave market, Starry Market.
Not only are there all kinds of slaves here, but there are often high-ranking slaves for sale, making it a favorite place for dignitaries.
At the gate of the slave market, Lin Zhen felt as if he was attending a super-large-scale gathering. At first glance, it was a sea of people. This was a true sea of people, and the crowds on Earth could not be compared with this at all.
To attract customers, slave traders have tried every means.
The slave market is a no-fly zone. So they set up a tall platform and displayed slaves on a big screen to showcase their skills. It was quite shocking.
Lin Zhen had just walked into the slave market and was immediately attracted by the first platform.
The big screen on the platform was showing the information of the slaves.
On the battlefield, a Star Realm Level general was fighting with the enemy, commanding the warriors under him to charge back and forth, divide and encircle, and use tactics properly. In the end, he won with fewer soldiers and wiped out the enemy.
“Sword in hand, who dares to be the Hero!”
At the setting sun, the yellow sand desert, the general looked back, and the image of the hero with a blood-stained military uniform froze.
And that general is standing on the high platform at this moment, waiting for people to choose him.
Ronnie and Shac looked worriedly at Lin Zhen for a while, fearing that Lin Zhen would be moved to choose this slave.
Although this general was good on their planet, he was of little use among interstellar nations, and his strength was low in the Star Realm.
They thought that their young count was too young, and to be able to buy the Black Pearl, he was probably rich and capricious, easily falling into the trap of slave traders.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen just looked for a moment and left without any intention of buying.
“Master, I thought you were going to impulsively buy this slave.” Ronnie said.
“Why should I buy him? I’m not a savior. That general’s personal strength is too poor, so he’s of no use to me.”
“Right, right! Buying him would be worse than buying a beauty. At least that has some use.”
Shac was adding from the side, his eyes wandering everywhere, but mostly on beautiful women.
Lin Zhen had seen Shac’s information. He came from Pisces, the leader of the villain faction on their planet and the head of the Demon Clan. He kidnapped the most beautiful princess of their planet, causing the heroes of that planet to risk their lives to save her. However, none of them could topple the cruel Demon King.
Later, this guy became a little arrogant and challenged the deity on their planet, which was actually the planetary lord. Finally, he was almost killed, escaped and was taken in by Xilanke to become an interstellar pirate of the Black Pearl.
As for Ronnie, the sissy guy, he was a great mage of a magic planet, proficient in necromancy. He was hated by the people on that planet and was besieged by experts from the entire planet. In desperation, he ventured into space, became a nomad for hundreds of years, and finally became a pirate.
These two guys were both Xilanke’s accomplices, and they had committed countless crimes. When the Black Pearl was captured by the Tianhe Empire’s Army, they became slaves.
After walking for a while, Ronnie stopped, “Master, I see a group of guys with decent strength.”
“Where?” Lin Zhen didn’t know how to find slaves, so he didn’t have any clues. These slave traders didn’t have low prices, and finding the slaves with the highest cost-performance in such a huge market was not easy.
“This way.”
Ronnie led Lin Zhen and Shac to a high platform in the far left.
There were about a thousand slaves on the high platform, each with a fierce face. The leader of them was actually a Planet Ninth Level Peak, even stronger than Ronnie and Shac.
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on the Level 9 Peak and found that this person was also a Spiritual Mind Master.
A Level 9 Spiritual Mind Master on a planet was definitely a super expert, which could sweep the whole Earth.
“Master, these people are pirates. The leader is called Stephen. His pirate group even robbed our business. If it weren’t for Xilanke’s move, we wouldn’t be his opponent. After Xilanke chased them away, they had been active in the Virgo Star System. I didn’t expect them to be captured too.”
“Ask for the price.”
Lin Zhen took the two of them to the front of the slave trader.
“Hey, how do you sell these slaves?” Ronnie asked.
Since becoming a knight, Ronnie and Shac had the insignia of a knight, but there was no family crest. Lin Zhen had been a noble for a short time and hadn’t thought about making a crest yet.
If they could become knights, their master would be at least an Empire Earl, so the slave trader didn’t dare to offend them. Although knights were also a kind of slave, they were high-level slaves, certainly much more powerful than ordinary civilians.
“Ah, esteemed knights, are you interested in these slaves? We offer fair prices here. Comet Stage slaves range from 100,000 to 500,000, Satellite Stage slaves from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000, and Planet Stage slaves from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000.”
“What about this one? One hundred million, right?” Ronnie pointed at Stephen. If he could get him for a hundred million, it would definitely be a bargain, as a Planet Ninth-level spiritual mind master should be worth at least three hundred million.
“Oh, no, no, he’s a bit special. He’s a spiritual mind master, five hundred million!” The slave trader held up a hand.
At this moment, Stephen looked up and saw Ronnie and Shac, and his eyes lit up: “Aren’t you two scoundrels part of Xilanke’s crew? Wasn’t the Black Pearl captured? How can you guys show up here disguised as humans?”
Ronnie, who had previously been beaten by Stephen, didn’t want to lose face in front of him and puffed out his chest, “Stephen, don’t call us scoundrels, we are now noble knights, not like you, a lowly slave. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I have the right to give you a good slap and fan your face for three days and nights, so you won’t sell for a high price!”
The slave trader was about to say something, but Lin Zhen snorted behind him, and they looked at him, realizing immediately that he must be a noble, and dared not make a sound.
If slaves dare to offend nobles, they, as slave traders, must bear the responsibility. If Ronnie really beats Stephen on the spot, they wouldn’t dare to stop him.
Upon hearing this, Stephen’s eyes were filled with anger, but he didn’t dare to act rashly. As a slave, if he were to show any aggressive behavior, his master would execute him immediately, and he didn’t want to die.
He said with clenched teeth, “How did you become knights? Your master must have very low standards to let people like you become knights. You guys are just like me, nothing but despicable pirates.”
“That’s fate, Stephen. Unfortunately, you’ll never meet a great master like ours. Behold our noble master, the prestigious and glorious Earl Lin Zhen. He not only bought us but also bought the Black Pearl.”
Having said that, he revealed Lin Zhen.
The pirates’ eyes suddenly grew hot when they saw Lin Zhen.
Daring to buy a pirate ship, this noble has some guts.
To follow a noble and become a slave would naturally be preferred by pirates, but they didn’t know if this noble would be able to appreciate them.
The pirates tried to display their powerful fighting abilities, hoping to attract Lin Zhen’s attention.
The slave trader quickly seized the opportunity and said, “Earl Lin Zhen, how about these slaves? They’re all incredibly strong and have no problem guarding your territory.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head, “Pirates should be depreciated in the slave market. Buying them would definitely cause some trouble, and I don’t want to spend a lot of money only to invite trouble.”
Ronnie also added, “Exactly, these guys are notorious. Buying them would be a disgrace to our master’s reputation. Besides, you’re asking for way too much.”
“Well… This leader is three hundred million, and that’s a fair price.”
“No, no, no. That’s definitely not a fair price. Stephen is worth at most fifty million. How can he be more expensive than me?”
“Fifty million is absolutely impossible. We went to great lengths to capture him, and we can’t even cover our costs. At least one hundred and fifty million.” The slave trader frowned.
“Everyone knows that the slave trade profits are enormous. Besides, our master won’t just buy one person. We will leave if you keep demanding such a high price.”
Ronnie quietly communicated with Lin Zhen in the Dimensional Universe and haggled with the slave trader at the same time.
By belittling Stephen and his gang and bargaining, this method proved quite effective.
“Fine… One hundred million, that’s the lowest I can go, but you must take all of these slaves. The price is…”
In the end, both sides agreed on 1,000 Comet Level slaves for a total price of thirty million, one hundred Satellite Level slaves for a total price of one hundred and fifty million, and Stephen along with the two Planet Sixth-level slaves for a total price of one hundred and sixty million.
The total value was three hundred and forty million, and Lin Zhen bought over a thousand pirates.
This price was really cheap. Excluding Lin Zhen’s noble discount, it was just slightly above three hundred million.
Lin Zhen had spent ninety billion on the credit to buy the spaceship, and with the empire’s ten billion reward, he currently had over seventeen billion.
Seeing Stephen and the other two Planet Stage slaves’ expectant eyes, Lin Zhen smiled, “Since you’re all my people now, I won’t play favorites. You three will become members of my knight order.”
Chris granted them the rank of knights.
Lin Zhen then told the other pirates, “You should also work hard, and I won’t mistreat slaves. Those who reach the Planet Stage can become knights.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Thinking about the chance to pilot the Black Pearl and the hope of becoming knights, the pirates were filled with enthusiasm.
Lin Zhen, leading more than a thousand people, walked through the slave market and attracted many curious glances.
Some people felt that the noble had very poor taste, leading such slaves that clearly weren’t good people. How could he invite others to his territory as guests with such a lineup? It was like a bandit’s den.
The high society circles would definitely ostracize this noble, some people thought.
Lin Zhen also realized the problem, with a pirate ship and a group of real pirates in his ranks, it would be hard not to be misunderstood by others. He needed some more presentable slaves.
