Cosmic Trading System

"Little sister..."

As Xia Qingqing was contemplating the relationship between Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng, Guan Jinshui, who was practicing martial arts in a training hall, paused his practice to look at his somewhat dazed sister, Guan Xiangsi, exhaling slightly.

He and his sister had depended on each other since childhood. How could he not understand his sister's feelings?

At the beginning, his sister had merely harbored a slight fondness for Lin Yun. But after Lin Yun had saved them both, his sister's feelings for Lin Yun had elevated to a new level.

He knew Lin Yun had a very beautiful girlfriend, who was also a prestigious university student. He did not believe that Lin Yun would accept his sister, and he did not approve of his sister interfering.

He chose to acknowledge Lin Yun as his master, not entirely without the idea of dissuading his sister's infatuation.

In his opinion, once he acknowledged Lin Yun as his master, the relationship between his sister and Lin Yun would change—perhaps her infatuation would gradually fade away.

Regrettably, Lin Yun's subsequent performances again shocked him and his sister. He felt his sister's feelings for Lin Yun had become even more profound.

Later, his sister met Xia Qingqing at the base and now had met Lin Mengmeng. Each of these beauties' unparalleled good looks hit her hard...

Seeing this, he did not feel good either.

But there was nothing he could do.

Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng both knew Lin Yun beforehand; also, each girl could be described as unparalleled in beauty. His sister clearly had no advantage, and he did not want her to compete.

On the one hand, he was afraid his sister would get hurt. On the other hand, he did not want to jeopardize the relationship between Xia Qingqing and Lin Yun.

However, this kind of thing was hard to reason with.

For now, all he could hope for was that his sister would gradually let go of these feelings.

...

With Lin Tian's arrival, the Middle East Base became much safer.

"Regardless of whether Huaxia has stronger forces or not, let's not worry about that for now..." Lin Yun said softly in a room.

Over the next couple of days, the base continually welcomed newcomers, and Lin Yun began planning his next steps.

The first priority was a powerful shielding device. He knew that Huaxia had alien technology, but he was unsure what level it had achieved, or whether other countries possessed such technological power.

He assumed they probably did, especially the American Empire; otherwise, Huaxia would not constantly be oppressed internationally. Some of the world's leading countries probably had some alien technology to some extent.

Regrettably, his Photon Brain could not retrieve such information from these countries. He assumed this information was likely their top secrets, guarded with various encryption protections, and could not be detected by conventional means.

For now, he only had this one base to build, which was of the utmost importance. It could not be easily discovered, and even if discovered, its reality could not be easily understood.

Therefore, purchasing a powerful shielding device was of great significance.

The anti-surveillance device he had previously purchased, produced by a level-five civilization, was applicable, but the coverage range was too small.

He needed a better one.

From the battle at Immortal Origin County, out of over five thousand Spirit Crystals Lin Yun had, only two thousand remained. He had used more than three thousand, which made Lin Yun couldn't help but feel the war was truly a money-burner, be it primitive civilizations or interstellar ones, whether in small-scale or large-scale wars.

Given the scale of this fight, the consumption was truly substantial.

Experience tales at empire

Two days later, the amount of Spirit Crystals on Lin Yun's Cosmic Trading System had reached over twenty-three thousand five hundred.

Lin Yun spent twenty thousand Spirit Crystals to purchase a small anti-surveillance device, which could cover a radius of three hundred meters, which was enough for them to use in the early stages.

During the following period, Lin Yun stayed at the base, practicing martial arts with everyone, occasionally joining the robots to train the orphans.

By now, the number of orphans at the base had reached three thousand and was quickly increasing.

Lin Yun increased the number of advanced flying cars and strong robots at the base. As a result, the robots they dispatched to find orphans could cover a larger area.

...

Meanwhile in Huaxia,

Time could dilute everything. In modern society, many things happened at a fast pace, and people's attention could easily be diverted.

Not many people spoke about the suspected high-quality Qingyun Building being bombed after just two days.

In the end, the Qingyun Building had been destroyed, making its quality impossible to determine. Perhaps things would have been different if the Qingyun Building had not been destroyed.

In the end, Qingyun Company's products were too few, and they had too few users, making it hard for many people to trust Qingyun Company.

Compared to the issues of Immortal Origin County, which caused nearly endless upheaval in the martial arts world, the bombing of the Qingyun Building soon faded from attention.

The incidents in Immortal Origin County were just a topic of conversation for the average person.

But for those involved in the martial arts world, it was a shock, a legend, a myth, something that would affect their current lives, their futures, their survival.

The two incidents, therefore, could not be compared.

Firstly, the Seven Injuries Sect, Xintang Lee, as well as his teacher Chen Dawu and chief disciple Sun Moshang, all had their martial arts skills disabled and were expelled from the Sect.

Then there was the Baji Sect. Zhong Nan seemed to be in a constant state of melancholy. One day while drinking, he got into an argument with a civilian. The civilian hit him with a car, and he died. It was lamentable. What was most shocking, though, was that the Zhong family and the Baji Sect didn't seem to hold the perpetrator accountable.

The Grandmaster of the Baji Sect, Qin Daoming died in his resolution to advance to a higher level of mastery.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Wei Donglai retreated to the hills, vowing to never return in his lifetime.

Although Wei Donglai was a Grandmaster at the late stage of Huajin, a top-level martial artist, Qingyun Company had killed even Innate experts, more than one or two at that. Moreover, these were innate experts with powerful flying machines.

One could see that, without that strong flying machine, none of the Innate experts would have been able to match the Golden Core expert from Qingyun Company. Furthermore, Qingyun Company even had the capability to resist superweapons.

Superweapons representing the ultimate power of a great country had been resisted. Qingyun Company's strength was unimaginable and uncontrollable!

Top martial families and top martial sects felt their insignificance even more acutely!

They knew very well that they were not on the same level as Qingyun Company. If Qingyun company were to target them, they wouldn't be able to put up any resistance...

If they didn't take action now, when Lin Yun came knocking on their door, it would be too late.

Even so, some of the high-level members of the Baji Sect and the Zhong family were extremely uneasy. They had heard that Lin Yun had sworn to destroy their sect and family.

This issue started with Zhong Nan, blew up because of Qin Daoming, and was tacitly approved by Wei Donglai...

Now, both Zhong Nan and Qin Daoming were dead. If not for the high prestige and the extraordinary strength of Wei Donglai in the Baji Sect..., maybe Wei Donglai would have also lost his mind?

Now, their only hope was that Lin Yun would spare the Baji Sect.

Some of the upper-level members and senior disciples of the Baji Sect were already leaving the Sect for various reasons, a sign of its decline. The top martial sect of Huaxia fell to such a state because of Lin Yun's words, which was a sad sight.

The Zhong family was in a similar condition. Not only did some upper-level members start leaving the family for various reasons and in various ways, but also none of their business partners who got the news wanted to cooperate with the Zhong family anymore.

In the current economic environment, cooperation was the most important thing.

It was an unfortunate situation for the Zhong family, which was once one of the top affluent families. Their empire had almost collapsed overnight. Luckily, the Zhong family had been a powerful family for centuries and had a diverse business portfolio, which allowed them to barely hold on. Even so, the upper-level members of the Zhong family dared not blame Qingyun Company or Lin Yun.

The difference in strength between the two sides was just too great.

Now, they were terrified that Qingyun Company or Lin Yun would come after them. If Qingyun Company and Lin Yun didn't come for them, they would feel immensely grateful.
