Chapter 503: Opening Loot Box
Fang Linyan shrugged and said in a regretful tone,
“We can’t help it. This Blue Vine Medal actually has the effect of being an honorary citizen. Let’s put it on first.”
The 3 of them nodded and said goodbye to Robert.
Robert said solemnly,
“1 more thing. Blue Vine Badge is transferable, so if you think it’s unnecessary and want to sell it, we can buy it for 100,000 star currency.”
“If you are walking on the street with the badge, beware of thieves or robbers.”
After Fang Linyan and the other 2 heard that they would buy the Blue Vine Badge with 100,000 star currency, they immediately lost interest…
100,000 star currency? Hehe, if it’s 100,000 common points, we will be on our knees right away.
So Goat nodded and said perfunctorily,
“Okay, thanks for the reminder. But the Blue Vine Badge is so exquisite, and I don’t lack the 100,000 star currency at all, so I plan to treasure it at home. Goodbye.”
Robert nodded,
“Goodbye.”
After Robert watched the 3 of them go away, he suddenly pressed the headset and said expressionlessly,
“Hello? Is this Arche? I’m Microphone.”
“So far, 5 people have claimed Bas Carr’s reward…”
“Yes, they are all outlanders, and they got the Blue Vine Badge.”
“Detailed information? 10,000 star currency per person or a total of 50,000 star currency for 8 people.”
“Expensive? Hehe, that doesn’t matter. You can get a cheaper price through your informant.”
“Friendship? Everyone on the street knows that Microphone only has a friendship with one thing! That’s star currency Yes, it’s the same account. Send the money over.”
“Confidentiality? As per the old rules, I will seal your information for 6 hours! The information I gave you is very detailed, including height, photos, and even holographic projections. If you can’t handle it in 6 hours, it just means you are incapable!”
“That’s it, you want to extend it for 2 more hours? Fine by me…”
“But you have to pay more!”
…
Of course, the 3 of them didn’t know that their information had been sold for a good price just after they left.
Of course, maybe even if they knew, they wouldn’t care.
In the face of absolute strength, these petty tricks were not a threat at all.
Now, they went directly to the “Carnival Party” next door as planned, preparing to cash out their Red Barracuda Star Pirates’ Loots. After that, they would split the money and explore the city.
The Carnival Party was less than 50 meters away from the Public Safety Investigation Bureau. The door of the shop was half closed. The 3 of them called twice outside, but no one responded, so they walked straight in.
After walking in, they smelled a musty smell. The shop was at least 40 square meters, which was considered spacious.
However, the floor was full of garbage. It was so messy that they couldn’t find a place to place their feet after entering. There was limited space at the entrance where Fang Linyan and the others stood.
Clearly, this messy state showed that the shop wasn’t open for business. What’s more, there was a faint smell of alcohol in the shop.
A demonic post-modern bronze chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the medieval knight’s armor beside it was covered with thick dust.
The documents on the oak bookshelves on both sides were in a mess. Some spiders even used the documents as support points for their webs. Various identification tools were scattered on the table.
Seeing this condition, Goat shrugged and said,
“Let’s go. This shop is clearly in big trouble.”
Someone seemed to hear him, and there was movement immediately inside. It sounded like the sound of a wine bottle clinking to the ground.
What followed was a violent coughing fit, and then an old man emerged from inside.
The most eye-catching thing about this old man was his bright red bottle nose. He said angrily to Goat,
“Bulltshit, big trouble?! Let me tell you, Old Daddy Hank’s shop is just having a little problem right now! It will rise in no time!”
Goat sighed,
“Old man, just face the reality. Your shop hasn’t been open for at least 10 days, right? And the most appropriate place for you right now is the hospital bed instead of lying on the cold floor and drinking.”
After hearing Goat’s words, Father Hank became even more angry,
“You bastard, get out of here. I’m in great shape, and the Carnival Party will continue to do business on this street until the end of the world!”
Fang Linyan shook his head at Goat and whispered,
“We didn’t come here to argue.”
Goat shrugged, but then Fang Linyan said,
“Sorry, Daddy Hank, we are passengers who just got off the spaceship. We were lucky enough to receive the Blue Vine Badge not long ago.”
“And the guys on the starship told us that if I want to sell something, Carnival Party is a must-go place, so I wonder if you are still doing business now?”
Hank immediately said,
Of course, I do! What good stuff did you bring?”
Fang Linyan took out a Red Barracuda Star Pirates’ Loot. When Hank saw it, his eyes immediately lit up as he said,
“Wow, this is rare!”
After he finished speaking, he immediately took it and examined it with a magnifying glass, and then said,
“This thing should be the star pirates’ loot! These poor guys may be chased at any time, so they are always moving. They could be sleeping on a second before, and they could be escaping the next second.”
“Sometimes for just 2 seconds, they might be abandoned by the starship. They are always roaming between life and death.”
“So, in this precarious situation, in order to avoid losing the good things obtained through robbery, almost every star pirate will get a similar loot box and carry it with them at all times.”
“They will convert the looted goods into convenient and easy-to-carry wealth and put them in their own loot box. They can also use them to save their lives at a critical moment.”
“However, the star pirates’ wealth comes easily and goes away quickly. They are a group of guys who like to squander and waste, so opening the loot box is actually a gamble…”
Speaking of which, Hank’s murky eyes were filled with reminiscence…
“The first bucket of gold I made when I opened the shop here was through gambling on the loot box.”
Fang Linyan nodded,
“So, what price can you offer?”
Hank said,
“Most of the star pirate loots on the market now are fake, but yours is real. Its actual value is about 5,000 star currency. But if you meet someone who likes to gamble with it, you can sell it for 10,000 star currency.”
Fang Linyan thought for a while before saying,
“Okay, 5,000 then!”
After hearing Fang Linyan’s words, Hank’s body suddenly stiffened, then he slowly shook his head with a wry smile,
“Alright then!” 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝗲𝐥𝗲𝐚𝐬𝘁.𝗰𝐨𝗺
He let out a long sigh. His brain, that was numbed by alcohol, quickly regained clarity.
“Please apologize for me to the crew member who recommended you here…”
“Sir, yes, as you can see, Carnival Party is about to close down.”
“The last business was a month ago.”
“If I had some spare money, I could even pay 6,000 star currency to buy this box. It’s a pity, you know.”
Fang Linyan pondered for a while and said,
“Okay, Mr. Hank, can you tell me where else to sell this thing besides here?”
Hank said,
“They will buy it at Punk Bay and Street 57, but you have to be careful. It’s best to hold it in your own hands when showing it to others. Otherwise, it will be easily substituted with a fake one by others.”
“And you are all tourists, so it is better not to avoid places like Punk Bay. Go directly to Street 57. The order there is much better.”
Fang Linyan nodded,
“Thank you very much for your opinion. Last question, do you have 500 star currency?”
Hank was stunned,
“What do you mean?”
Fang Linyan pushed the Red Barracuda Star Pirates’ Loot into Hank’s hands and said,
“Give me 500 star currency and it’s yours.”
Hank said in disbelief,
“Is this… real?”
Fang Linyan nodded,
“Yes, the difference in price can be regarded as the information fee I paid, but I have a condition.”
Hank took a deep breath,
“Say.”
Fang Linyan said,
“I have more than 1 of these boxes in my hand, so after you get this Red Barracuda Star Pirates’s Loot, you need to open it in front of me. I have to understand the opening process to prevent someone from messing with me when I go to sell them later.”
Hank agreed immediately:
“No problem! Can you wait for a few minutes?”
Fang Linyan nodded.
Hank put on a top hat and quickly went out, leaving the 3 of them in this shabby shop.
After a few minutes, Hank hurried back with a box and a stack of cash in his hand. He threw the stack of cash directly to Fang Linyan,
“Here’s 730 star cash. That’s all I have.”
