"Hello, guest, what do you need?"

In the Corebo Enclave Trade Center, two robots are having a conversation at this time. One of them is a synthetic human under the control of Li Wenyuan, and the other is a service robot here.

"Can you appraise the value of the goods here?"

"Of course, and we don't charge an appraisal fee. If you are willing, you can go to the appraisal room on the second floor."

…

With the help of the service robot, Li Wenyuan quickly found the appraisal room here and successfully got his seat.

The so-called identification room is actually a huge automated equipment. Countless people sit in front of their seats and put the samples they need to identify into a large box.

Automated equipment will collect it in a confined space, scan it, and then display the results on a screen that can only be seen by the person in front of the location.

This also saved Li Wenyuan a lot of effort. He directly took out the metal samples rescued from the crashed cargo spacecraft and put them into the identification room.

The identification results were displayed instantly.

[Identification Item: Morton Standard Strengthened Alloy]

[Introduction: The alloy produced in the Morton Galaxy is the most inferior metal product]

[Market price (estimated): 0.1 energy coins per ton]

"It's really rubbish..." Li Wenyuan couldn't help complaining after seeing the result. It seems that even an old-fashioned frigate can't afford the kind of alloy brought by the spaceship.

Undeterred, he asked the synthesizer to take out the second item to be identified.

It was a weapon that looked like a gun, but its muzzle looked like a big horn. This was a thing that had been seized from the pirate leader before. It seemed to be some kind of "secondary civilized weapon"?

[Identification Item: Micro Powerful Jammer (Level 2)]

[Introduction: Individual jamming wave launchers produced by second-level civilization, obsolete]

[Market price (estimated): 100 energy coins]

"...It turns out that this thing is also rubbish..." The props that Li Wenyuan had high hopes for were also identified as rubbish, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"In the past, those 'secondary civilization technology blueprints' could be sold for 600,000 energy coins. I thought this gun would be similar... It seems that I was too naive."

Frustrated, the synth took out the third object to be identified, the mysterious metal cut from the wall near his "body".

"I hope these pirates have better eyesight..." He reluctantly put the sample of the mysterious metal into the identification box.

This time, the identification results took a long time.

"...Why does it take so long? Isn't it because it's so rubbish that it's difficult to identify?" Li Wenyuan, who was waiting, suddenly felt his heart go cold.

Amidst the anxiety, the identification results slowly appeared before his eyes.

[Identification Item: Living Metal]

[Introduction: An extremely precious strategic metal resource. There is no substitute for the key parts of certain projects except living metal. It was once thought that it could only be naturally generated under extremely harsh conditions. Currently, only a few mysterious civilizations have fixed

Outflow channels, most of the other living metals on the market come from the exploration of interstellar adventurers on various forgotten planets]

[Market price: 200,000 energy coins per kilogram]

[Buyout price of "Living Metal Refining Technology": Negotiable]

[Note: Hello friend, I am the person in charge of this trading enclave. I am surprised to see real living metal here. Are you interested in talking to us in person? We will be happy to produce one that satisfies you.

s price.】

[If you agree, please do not leave the appraisal room for the time being, we will arrange for someone to take you to our VIP room]

This unexpected surprise really made Li Wenyuan happy. He really didn't expect that his "clothes" were worth so much.

There was a momentary impulse that made him want to take off all his "clothes" and sell them to use as start-up capital.

However, this idea was quickly abandoned. Judging from the introduction, this "living metal" is an extremely important resource. If it circulates in large quantities on the market in a short period of time, he, the "slaughterer", will definitely be found out.

At that time, the position of his body will be in danger.

"But if we only sell a little, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

He now urgently needs a start-up capital to repair his home planet, otherwise he would not choose to take the risk.

So according to the explanation in the note, Li Wenyuan asked the synthesizer to stay where he was, and arranged for other synthesizers to start wandering around the exchange, looking for the resources he needed.

Not long after, a group of special people came up to the second floor where the appraisal room was located.

They were a group of robots. They had a silvery reflective surface structure, and every movement of their metal limbs was uniform and identical. The eye cameras used to capture images were also constantly rotating, and they quickly locked onto the place where the synthetic human was.

Location.

Then they came over and said in a very standard mechanical voice: "The welcome sub-unit is in place, the deviation value is 2.99%, the connection signal is normal, and it can be accessed at any time. The target is floor 125, and the line planning is completed."

"..." Their incomprehensible words made Li Wenyuan, who was controlling the synthetic human, stunned, and almost didn't understand what they meant.

"You mean you want me to go to the 125th floor?" He guessed that it was probably the case, and controlled the synthetic man to get on the elevator to the 125th floor.

The controller behind the group of robots was also a little confused at this time.

"Huh? Isn't this the popular tone of omnic civilization now? This omnic is not interested in this style?"

"It's bad, it's bad, I haven't been able to gain favor, my salary is going to be deducted..." The controller lamented that another point of his pitiful salary would be deducted.

But these had nothing to do with Li Wenyuan. He easily reached the 125th floor through the elevator.

This is a VIP room, and only those who are considered "partners" by Crebo Trading Company can come here, and Li Wenyuan has become one of them today.

As soon as the elevator door opened, an alien came to greet him.

He has a pair of big, fan-like ears, protruding cheeks with hair and beard, and his dark black eyes sparkle with a merchant's unique keenness for goods.

His body below the chest was replaced by a mechanical prosthetic body, covered with part of the bionic skin. Although it was modified with clothes, with the powerful scanning ability of the synthetic man, Li Wenyuan still noticed that there were at least three elements in the alien in front of him.

Two-thirds of them were replaced by machines.

"Hello, hello, my friend. I'm the person in charge here. Just call me Braining. I don't know what to call you?"

The manager greeted Li Wenyuan warmly, and then he remembered that he had never considered the name issue.

After hesitating for a while, Li Wenyuan decided to use the "code name" he told Lillian before to call himself now.

"I am... guardian."

Guardian?

This special word made Braining stunned, and a look of surprise soon appeared in his eyes.

Then his expression immediately became serious, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding environment changed from the VIP room at the beginning to a scene like a conference hall.

It turns out that the previous scenes were all projections, and the current conference hall is what it originally looked like.

After that, he changed his previous enthusiastic expression and said in a very formal voice:

"I understand. I know that your omnic civilization never likes to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it straight."

"This time, I will serve as the diplomatic ambassador of Corebo. On behalf of Corebo Trading Enterprises, I will purchase all the living metals in your hands in the form of transactions between civilizations. I will collect as much as you want. You can also put forward your requirements.

, I will try my best to satisfy you.”

After he said these words, several blurry projections appeared in the conference hall instantly, and it seemed that they were senior personnel of Crebo, coming to discuss this transaction.

Seeing such a formal scene, Li Wenyuan in the virtual world also frowned. After thinking for a while, he controlled the synthetic man and slowly said:

"...the process has been arranged."
