Chapter 13: : Procurement Disturbance (Part 1)

The Prosina Star is the seventh lord of the Federation, the direct star under the black lord Sauron. It is one of the three free markets in the Universe Federation, and its gold-absorbing ability is excellent. tax!

The planet is the birthplace of the Pelt civilization. In the early days, it was just a desolate ninth-level planet. Sauron valued the superior creativity of the Pelt civilization and invested heavily, so that now the Pelt civilization has become one of the best bloodlines in the universe. Its unique Hex Technologies occupy almost a quarter of the federal technology market share.

"Don't stand there idly; register as soon as possible. There are queues behind you!"

This came from a standard Picheng policewoman. She was equipped with advanced Hex technology gear, which costs nearly ten million god coins. Xi Ye was a bit surprised to see this equipment. Only on this planet could the guards afford such high-end gear!

"According to the headcount, a deposit of 500 million yuan per person!"

"Is it so expensive?" Xi Ye was taken aback. "Don't I remember that the deposit was less than 40 million 10,000 years ago?"

"Ten thousand years ago?" The policewoman gave him a blank look. "Why don't you mention the prices from the previous era? If you can't afford it, you're wasting your time!"

Xi Ye quietly took out his black card. After all, the deposit would be refunded, so he wasn't too concerned. He was just surprised by the high price.

It's said that the attitude of Picheng's policewomen is even more arrogant than the civil servants of Zi Yaoxing. They dare to marry back to their homeworld and not be intimidated.

After completing the paperwork and paying the deposit, Xi Ye and his group were transported to the city via a teleportation array. As they emerged from the teleportation, they were surrounded by a group of guides.

These guides were of various races, all good-looking in their own ways. They included the Hualing, known as the most beautiful beings in the universe, the seductive Meizu, and the popular spirit foxes and blue luan races.

These guides were graduates of language schools and were proficient in thousands of mainstream languages in the Federation. The best of them even understood many regional dialects.

Xi Ye, as a grand lord, wasn't easily swayed by the outward appearances of the guides. All he needed was a guide. He didn't care how attractive they were.

Xi Ye decided to hire a panda person from the Vastarya branch. The panda people were known for their relaxed and easygoing nature. Their average IQ was high, but they rarely pursued higher education. Instead, many of them took on jobs as tour guides. They made good money in the tourism industry, often earning more than the beautiful races. They didn't mind this reputation and enjoyed a carefree and simple lifestyle.

The advantages of hiring a pandaren guide were many. They didn't engage in aggressive solicitation like the golden gnomes and succubi. Instead, they had a reputation for being honest and straightforward, which earned them a place in the tour guide market.

In general, lords who managed their money wisely preferred to hire panda guides. So, Xi Ye justified his choice.

While exploring the city, they encountered various mechas that weren't yet on the market. The players marveled at these futuristic machines and were eager to dive into the game's rich world.

"Wow, brother, look at these new mechas that aren't on the market yet!" Nicole's round face was red with excitement, and her bright blue eyes sparkled.

As the players admired the mechas, they couldn't help but be amazed by the advanced technology they witnessed.

Grandpa Lu was especially captivated by the mechas. He momentarily forgot about taking screenshots.

Mecha had always been a favorite topic in science fiction. The allure of giant robots was timeless, and it captivated people's imaginations.

"Why are you so excited?" Xi Ye looked at Grandpa Lu and said, "These Stinger mechas are made from Valai steel. Even a first-level elf would find it challenging to damage them. Have you forgotten this point?"

"Is it really that impressive?" Grandpa Lu seemed skeptical. "I find it hard to believe."

Xi Ye explained, "Yes, Grandpa, these mechas are part of the latest Longgang series by Stinger. They were designed to compete with the black gold version of the mace."

Grandpa Lu, after learning about the mechas, began to look at them in a new light. "I must have underestimated them," he admitted.

Xi Ye was amused by the players' reactions. "You want to overkill everything now that you know about mechas?" he teased Nicole.

Nicole blushed slightly and replied, "I just like learning about mechas, brother."

But suddenly, a strange conversation began:

"Boss, I think I look like one of these mechas," Grandpa Lu said with a sense of dejection.

Xi Ye squinted at him and said, "Let me see." When he reached out to examine Grandpa Lu, the little creature unexpectedly shrank from a hairball to the size of a raisin.

"Wait a minute," Xi Ye muttered. "This doesn't make sense. These mechas aren't a few meters across."

Grandpa Lu replied with a vacant look, "I feel so cold...I see so many stars... I see our ancestors... I see the royal family winning the championship... I'm going... ha ha ha..."

Xi Ye was bewildered by Grandpa Lu's incomprehensible ramblings. He couldn't make sense of what the creature was saying.

"What is he talking about?" Xi Ye asked in confusion.

Emperor Gan waved his hand dismissively and explained, "Boss, he's probably delirious. Don't pay him any mind."

Then, Emperor Gan showed Xi Ye a chest covered in deep, visible bone scars. "Boss, what's wrong with this mecha? Why can it slash people a few meters away?"

Xi Ye examined the scars and was puzzled. "I've never seen a mecha capable of injuring someone from a few meters away. This is the latest Longgang model from Stinger."

Nicole provided more information, saying, "I heard it was designed to compete with the black gold version of the mace."

Xi Ye looked at Nicole and said with a hint of teasing, "Do you want to become an overkill now that you know so much about mechas?"

Nicole blushed and looked away, embarrassed. "I just find mechas fascinating, brother."

Suddenly, Grandpa Lu asked if they would have mechas in the future. He was excited at the idea, along with other players who shared his enthusiasm.

Xi Ye clarified the situation, saying, "You won't have mechas in the game. Instead, you can become warriors or spirit manipulators. Mechas require advanced skills and a high-level bloodline, which none of you have. However, you, Rain Girl, have the potential to become a manipulator."

The players were surprised by this revelation. It was a revelation that left many envious of Rain Girl, who had the opportunity to become a manipulator. The Titans, who had been excited about the mechas, were left feeling disappointed.

As they continued exploring the city, Xi Ye

  noticed that both Grandpa Lu and Emperor Gan appeared to have grown larger.

Grandpa Lu said, "Xiye, did you notice that we've grown bigger?"

Xi Ye looked closely and confirmed that they had indeed grown in size.

Xi Ye called out to a nearby vendor to inquire about the situation. After a brief conversation, the vendor confirmed that they had been exposed to poison mixed with a rare alchemical toxin. The poison affected the physical size of those exposed to it.

Xi Ye was initially furious, believing it was a scam. However, the vendor explained that the poison had been mixed by a top alchemist from Zuan. The vendor had prepared an antidote, but they only had one bottle. It was an unintended accident.

Xi Ye wasn't sure whom to save, and he considered which of the two poisoned individuals to prioritize.
