The Explorer who had been pointed out had a bitter expression on his face. First, he removed the star essence from another Explorer's skin. Then, he removed Kayze's star essence skin, and finally, he removed his own.
He then stuffed the three of them into a personal spacecraft and had them take off. Any later and they would self-destruct from breathing in the pyrolyte. He didn't want to kill anyone, as the people below might not even dare to meet him face to face.
Lu Yin was excited as he looked at the three sparkling star essence skins on the ground. They had been made at a great cost, but it was a pity that he couldn't sell them for the same amount of star essence.
For example, if he used 1,000 star essence to make a single skin, it would be pretty good if he could sell it for 500 star essence. After all, it was only useful on Planet Pyrolyte, and if he sold it to someone else, it wouldn't be that much even if it was turned into star essence.
That wouldn't do, as that would be a loss!
Lu Yin thought about it.
At that moment, Xi Yue and the others arrived.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he put the three skins back into his cosmic ring.
Xi Yue walked up to Lu Yin and looked at him with a complicated expression. Her eyes were filled with gratitude, shame, and an incomprehensible emotion. "Thank you."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "You're welcome. Washboard."
Xi Yue raised her brows and glared at Lu Yin. "I'm not a washboard."
Lu Yin subconsciously glanced at Xi Yue's chest. "It's a little big."
"Hooligan." Xi Yue blushed, and the other Souldream Tribe members behind her all had strange expressions.
"Where are the three of them?" Xi Yue asked.
Lu Yin pointed at the sky. "I threw them back." He suddenly leaned in close to Xi Yue. "Want to make a deal?"
Xi Yue retreated, her face red. "Stay away from me."
Lu Yin pursed his lips and took out a set of star essence skins. "I'll sell them to you for 1,000 star essence."
Xi Yue's eyes went wide, and the other Souldream Tribe members behind her did the same. "You … you took their star essence skins?"
Lu Yin nodded. "How about it?
I'll sell them to you for 1,000 star essence. "
Xi Yue stared blankly at the skin, but she didn't refuse. Her eyes flickered, as it took a long time to make a star essence skin. If she could buy Lu Yin's skin directly, it would be much cheaper and save time.
"How about it?
Do you want it?
If you don't want it, then I'll sell it to Northline Flowzone. "
Before he could speak, a voice rang out from afar. "Brother Lu, the Souldream Tribe wants it."
The next person to arrive was Lan Yue. She had been much slower than Lu Yin and had only just arrived. When she saw Lu Yin waving the star essence skins around and hawking them, she hurriedly bought them.
He generously tossed the star essence skin to her. "A thousand star crystals, thank you."
Lan Yue accepted it. The star essence skin was smooth to the touch, as it was completely constructed from star essence. It felt very comfortable to wear, and with this, the Souldream Tribe would be able to send another Explorer to Planet Pyrolyte.
"Brother Lu, you still have two more, right?" Lan Yue looked at Lu Yin expectantly.
Lu Yin nodded and took out the other two items.
"Give it all to us. Three thousand star essence," Lan Yue said excitedly.
Lu Yin sneered. "I remember that you were the one who spoke to me in outer space. You wanted to trick me, and now you're still trying to trick me."
Lan Yue's expression changed, and she unnaturally asked, "Brother Lu, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Do you really want me to spell it out?
You wanted to tempt me with a marriage alliance and also set the conditions for the Great Yu Empire to enter the Innerverse. You just wanted me to help the Souldream Tribe compete on Planet Pyrolyte and establish contact with the Sea King's Dome. Am I right? "
Lan Yue's face paled.
Xi Yue looked at Lan Yue, as she had not known about this matter since she had already been on Planet Pyrolyte.
"Brother Lu, I think you've misunderstood. Our Souldream Tribe is sincere about forming a marriage alliance with the Great Yu Empire. If you don't believe me, we can immediately arrange it once we leave Planet Pyrolyte. We can also provide you with financial support and do our best to bring the Great Yu Empire into the Innerverse. How about that?"
Lu Yin did not believe her, as the Sea King's Dome had already clearly stated that it would protect Frostwave Weave. The Souldream Tribe was eager to form a marriage alliance and establish a relationship with the Sea King's Dome.
"There's no need to say anything more. I understand your intentions. I still have two star essence skins left, and I'll give this one to you for 1,000 star essence." Lu Yin gave Lan Yue another star essence skin. As for Kayze's star essence skin, he kept it for himself.
Lu Yin was no fool. Kayze was clearly much stronger than the other two, and the star essence skin's production cost was completely different as well. The two star essence skins could only be used by elite Explorers at most, and Explorers who could rival the Top 100 Rankings would not be able to use them unless they were reforged. However, Kayze's skin was different. His skin could be directly used by the Top 100 Rankings' experts.
Lan Yue actually wanted Kayze's skin the most. Although the Souldream Tribe did not have any experts on the Top 100 Rankings, that list only referred to the younger generation. Among the older generation, there were Explorers who could rival those on the Top 100 Rankings, but Lu Yin had no intention of giving them to her.
Helpless, Lan Yue could only accept these two skins. Fortunately, she had not made a loss, as these two skins would definitely cost more than 1,000 star essence to make.
"Brother Lu, how do you want to trade?
Do you want me to transfer the money to your Mavis Bank account or give it to you directly? "Lan Yue asked.
Lu Yin replied, "Give it to me directly. Send someone to deliver it to the mountain range."
Lan Yue nodded and glanced at Xi Yue. She also wanted to obtain Kayze's star essence skin, but Xi Yue pretended not to see it. She was not that close to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin left and returned to the mountain range.
Above the planet, the various great powers all had the same opinion about this matter: they could not send anyone weaker than Lu Yin to provoke him. Otherwise, not only would they fail to obtain the pyrolyte, but they might also lose their star essence skins.
The Dire Barbarian Clan, the Blaze Realm, and the Ross Empire had all suffered a great loss, and many powers were gloating over their misfortune. Who asked you to rush out? Now, your retribution has arrived!
However, Lu Yin's bad habit of plucking off other people's star essence skins was a headache. No one wanted to spend so much effort to create these skins to be gone after a trip to Planet Pyrolyte. The loss of star essence was acceptable, but the time spent transporting and creating these skins could not be made up for.
This was the greatest loss.
The next day, Lu Yin sat on the mountain range as usual, occasionally looking up at the sky as he waited for the Souldream Tribe to send someone to deliver the money.
Hai Qiqi rushed out of the mine and sat down beside Lu Yin in boredom. "Hey, we can't go anywhere before the pyrolyte is completely mined, right?"
Lu Yin nodded. In the distance, a spacecraft rushed into space. This was the ship used to transport pyrolyte, and it would arrive once every few days. Over the past month, the Northline Flowzone had already transported quite a bit of pyrolyte.
"Father has that much confidence in you?
Does he think that you can defend this place? "Hai Qiqi was puzzled, and she tilted her head to size up Lu Yin." You're just a Limiteer. "
"Go ask your father," Lu Yin replied.
Hai Qiqi pouted. "Father was wrong to scheme against you, but he didn't harm you. He even promised to protect your hometown. What are you unhappy about?"
Lu Yin did not say much to Hai Qiqi, as she would not understand even if he did.
He would rather become a pirate than join the Sea King's Dome and lose his freedom.
A red light fell from the sky, heading straight for the mountain range.
Lu Yin looked up and squinted. His eyes filled with star energy, and he saw the rune lines that represented the spacecraft. There were many of them, but they were only at the level of an elite Explorer. There was also a dark blue symbol on the outside of the spacecraft, indicating that it was from the Souldream Tribe.
There was a loud boom as the spacecraft crashed outside the mountain range, creating a crater in the ground.
From a bird's eye view, the surroundings of the mountain range, including the interior of the mountain range, were filled with craters caused by the spacecraft's crash.
Hai Qiqi's eyes widened in curiosity as she looked at the spacecraft.
The door opened, and a young woman walked out. She was beautiful, but her eyes had a weathered look that did not match her appearance. She was clearly not a member of the younger generation.
The woman walked up to Lu Yin and waved her hand. 2,000 star essence glowed with a faint light as Lu Yin stored it in his cosmic ring.
"The Souldream Tribe thanks Brother Lu for your help," the woman said courteously.
Lu Yin nodded.
She quickly left.
Hai Qiqi looked at Lu Yin. "Not bad. Others are fighting for their lives, but you're making money."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, as he was rather proud of this fact. He also admired himself for always being able to come up with ideas to make money, and he had even managed to come up with so many at once.
2,000 star essence was an unimaginable amount in the past. Even when he had robbed Blackbeard's tribute, he had only managed to obtain a thousand star essence. As expected of a large organization, they were able to take out so much money so easily.
Right, there was also another thousand star essence, which was the price he had paid for selling Kayze's star essence skin to the Northline Flowzone. He had only asked for 1,000 star essence as a token of his gratitude.
"Hey, let me leave this place. I'll go grab some star essence skins for you. Don't worry, I won't take a single cent. I'll give them all to you." Hai Qiqi looked at Lu Yin expectantly, as she felt that it was more useful to talk with him with money.
However, she was disappointed, as Lu Yin did not agree.
"Why?
You can get 1,000 star essence for any one of them! That's 1,000 star essence! Think carefully! "Hai Qiqi shouted.
Lu Yin sighed. "You won't be able to get them."
Hai Qiqi was unconvinced. "You're looking down on me. Let me tell you this seriously: if we really fight, you won't be my opponent. Do you believe me?"
Lu Yin did not reply.
Hai Qiqi ran in front of him. "Do you believe me?"
Lu Yin was helpless. "Let's put it this way. Do you have three feet of white silk and a stool?"
"What do you mean?" Hai Qiqi was stunned.
Lu Yin casually replied, "Hanging yourself is better than bragging."
Hai Qiqi was enraged, as she had been insulted. She was confident that she was invincible, but someone had actually dared to insult her. "Alright, idiot. Just you wait, Sister Qi will let you know the consequences of insulting me. Just you wait."
Lu Yin regretted his words as soon as he said them, as he had not been able to hold back from insulting her. His following days would not be easy.
The monkey gloated. "Seventh Bro, I think it's best if you stay away from her."
Over the next two days, Lu Yin was subjected to an overwhelming amount of merciless ridicule, which was almost unbearable. He swore that he would never insult Hai Qiqi again, and he would pretend that he had not heard anything she said.
In the sky, a spacecraft crashed outside the mountain range. Northgate Lie walked out in front of everyone from the Northline Flowzone, and many people cheered.
