Chapter 8, Arrival at the Republic Star

However, they would never reach there, as dozens of rays instantly turned them into sieves. "Dailum" was also immediately pinned in place by several cars, unable to move another step. What a joke, how could the young master of the "Peace Pawnshop" not have bodyguards secretly following him, especially in their own territory, the Republic Star

Understood, boss

"Dodge asymmetrical top, Mika uniform pants, this, this seems a bit ordinary, right? Probably a bodyguard." Jamie provided an explanation for himself, "What is that little thing? The latest dragon plush from Cosmic Baby Company? Great, my daughter is definitely going to pester me again, ah! It even has an anti-gravity engine, ugh, it seems the mortgage issue will have to be postponed to the next business deal."

Although such situations are not encountered frequently, those young individuals have no concept of money. While I have to work hard to run around here and there, constantly introducing this and that, in the end, when it comes time to settle the bill, with a wave of their small hands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of credit points just flow into my pocket. That feeling... What was that old saying? Ah, yes! "Three years without a business, but when it opens, it feeds for three years." Indeed, this is my situation.

"How about having the exploration beast send over some carbon crystals? Half a ton should be enough." However, this idea was immediately dismissed, "No! Although this amount of energy ore is negligible compared to the total reserves of the Sara fleet, it would definitely be a laughingstock for the sub-brains. Let's think of another solution!"

Yang Sen carefully crawled out of the deep treatment chamber, fearing to wake up Zi Er, who was sound asleep at the edge of the chamber. This little girl had refused to sleep all night, staring blankly at Yang Sen inside the chamber. It was not until morning, when she could no longer hold on, that she fell into a deep sleep.

Alright, I will choose the guardian. How much will it cost in total

Hmm, Miguel's new spring and summer top, Daletamon's skirt suit, and oh! Dachi's Flying Century carbon crystal head flower, big clients, big clients! This time, the mortgage is finally completely resolved, long live! Taking advantage of the parking moment, Jamie quickly assessed the passengers this time. His research on luxury goods during the usual waiting time for business was indeed not in vain, and he immediately identified the waving lady as belonging to the ultra-wealthy class. However, the gentleman accompanying the lady and a small object floating between them left him unable to make a judgment.

"Fool, where are you hitting? Didn't you see that woman has come out too? If it weren't for that silly kid pushing a bit, hitting that woman, the boss would have dealt with you! Hurry up, bring that woman over here." The angry voice of the man came from the car.

Well, then, which type of small handheld firearm should we choose? These weapons can be categorized into three main types: high-speed photon pistols, high-speed particle pistols, and high-speed magnetic pistols. Among them, photon weapons are the most expensive but possess tremendous power, utilizing energy cartridges for ammunition. Magnetic weapons have the least power and require additional material projectiles, yet they are the cheapest. Particle weapons fall in between in terms of both power and price, do not require additional material projectiles, and also use energy cartridges for ammunition.

"Head! We have caught up with them. When can we take action?" A robust and grim-looking man in a black "Daimler" following closely behind the taxi was inquiring.

Sigh, I have a headache. Forget it, after all, there is no shortage of money at the moment, we can talk about it later. By the way, having too strong a mental power makes it easy for those with ulterior motives to notice problems. I should buy a weapon for self-defense; it seems that yesterday's issue has not been resolved. If it happens again, it will be easier to handle. I can't always resort to self-inflicted pain as a strategy!

"No wonder it's the capital star! Even the prices are so much higher than elsewhere." Yang Sen was about to reach out to make a payment when he suddenly froze; his wrist computer, which he was accustomed to wearing on his right hand, had been vaporized along with his arm yesterday

Dear guest, would you like me to make some recommendations for you

Then let's use the Gray Company’s "Lightweight Strike". It has a full capacity of 20 rounds and an effective range of 200 meters. Its exterior is robust, yet the firearm is compact, making it very suitable for men to carry discreetly, especially in this season of lighter clothing

Uh. Even though he was mentally prepared, Yang Sen still felt a bit dizzy. Sigh, not revealing any flaws is the priority, so Yang Sen reluctantly made the payment

Yang Sen walked into the largest weapon store on the entire street, and immediately a sales associate with the same professional smile approached him

"Yes, boss, but boss, that egg doesn't seem to be with them." At this moment, the man suddenly remembered that there was an important matter he had not mentioned.

There is only one, that kid at the auction, who seems to be of little consequence and can be easily dealt with

As Yang Sen just stepped out of the car, a piercing screech of brakes sounded behind him. Immediately after, a photon gun extended from the window of the car that had just come to a stop. Yang Sen quickly pushed the little girl, who had just emerged, back into the car

Yang Sen, who no longer had the mood to continue wandering, directly hailed a taxi and, after mentioning "Yinhe University," slumped down in the passenger seat, feeling extremely dejected

However, Jamie does not share this view. Astute as he is, he has been stationed in front of the First Aviation Port since he entered the industry 6 years ago. His target is the wealthy young heirs who sneak away to play in the Republic Star. These young masters and young ladies, fresh out into the world, are filled with curiosity about everything, and taking a "taxi" has naturally become one of the interesting experiences they cannot miss

Jeans and T-shirts, Yang Sen glanced at himself in the mirror a few times and felt quite good. "Sir, the total is 6,800 credit points," the sales assistant said with a professional smile.

Sighing softly, Yang Sen carefully left a note, glanced back at the little girl who was still sound asleep, and then slowly closed the door

Then let's get a high-speed photon gun, please help me choose a suitable one

Amidst his daydreaming, a man and a woman, both resembling "puppets," had already boarded the vehicle. "Let's just take a ride for now," a sweet voice came through. It was only then that Jamie, who was accustomed to first noticing clothing, finally took note of the female passenger's appearance, momentarily stunned in place.

The crystal was sold for 6.5 million credit points, and 6 million was spent at Xuanyuan Academy. The expenses over the past few years have been around 120,000, so there should be more than 300,000 left. It is indeed a good thing that the top student at Xuanyuan is exempt from tuition fees at the Galactic University, but considering the price levels on Capital Star, it is uncertain whether this more than 300,000 will last until graduation. Referring to the prices of clothing and computers, Yang Sen couldn't help but feel that this 300,000 is a bit too little.

He knew that the little girl was moved by the so-called hero who sacrificed himself to save her. However, at this point, Yang Sen could no longer explain to her. Should he tell her that he was fine, that after pushing her away he could completely dodge the photon beam, and that his injury was merely to conceal his true strength? He had made her shed quite a few tears yesterday, and revealing this would undoubtedly lead to disaster. Speaking of tears, he recalled the scene from yesterday when the little girl was in tears, covering her wound, and desperately calling for a doctor, which moved Yang Sen somewhat.

Well, a small handheld firearm will suffice, along with a set of protective clothing

Yay

In the fitting room, Yang Sen took off his shirt and carefully examined his newly grown arms. Although they were somewhat sturdier than before, they were not perfect, and there was a slight stiffness when he moved them. With a slight pout, a silver light once again disassembled his right arm. After a few seconds of brilliance, the new arm was successfully cloned. Satisfied, Yang Sen waved his arms left and right before putting on the selected T-shirt.

Cough, cough. The light cough awakened the dazed Jamie, who immediately fumbled to start the car and raised the soundproof glass separating the passenger compartment as requested by the passenger

No! We must not be careless. That man is likely a martial arts expert; otherwise, there wouldn't be a lack of other protective forces around them. Hmph! They are being overly arrogant. Remember, once they get out of the car, immediately use photon weapons to shoot that man, without giving him any time to react.

This station reports that early this morning, several male bodies were discovered at the Tana Hotel. According to hotel registration, these individuals were personnel from a security group in the Luna system, which had just arrived from Hong Kong. The deceased include the group's president and his bodyguard. The public security in our star has always been good, yet this incident involving the tragic deaths of foreign friends from another star system is a serious case. The police and the library...

What? Why are you only saying this now! Then we have no choice but to bring that girl back; her family will hand over the egg!

... ...

This man and woman are naturally Yang Sen and the young girl who have just concluded their journey through the galaxy

While strolling around, Yang Sen walked into a Niluobang clothing store. Although the casual outfit provided by the hospital looked decent, he felt somewhat odd running around the streets in it

Ah! Ha! Jamie yawned repeatedly, completely indifferent to the strong disdainful gazes of the luxury car drivers around him, as he intently focused on the exit of the First Aviation Port

... ...

Confronted with the overwhelming variety of weapon types on the store shelves, the utterly clueless Yang Sen appeared somewhat dazed

The security personnel standing at the door did not receive any orders to prevent Yang Sen from leaving, so they had no choice but to let him go. However, the bodyguards who followed him discreetly were definitely on high alert. Yang Sen understood that this was inevitable, so he chose not to pay it any mind.

The last time I dealt with that young master was last month, right? How long do we have to wait this time? Thanks to my wisdom, I am only 50,000 away from paying off that exorbitant mortgage. My wife has been almost overjoyed these days. Just as Jamie was secretly praising himself, he suddenly noticed someone waving at him and quickly activated the ion engine to approach.

"Hmm, that's fine." Yang Sen was also very satisfied with this type of gun

... ...

The total is 235,000

What weapons does the gentleman need

So, which type of protective suit do you want? Since you have chosen the most expensive small handheld firearm, it stands to reason that you would also want the best protective suit. Therefore, you can choose between the 'Shield' from Jim Company and the 'Guardian' from Yali Company. Personally, I recommend the 'Guardian.' Although its protective capability is slightly inferior to that of the 'Shield' and cannot withstand heavy firepower attacks, it is lightweight and as compact as undergarments, which the bulky 'Shield' cannot compare to. Besides, you are not going to the battlefield; are you really afraid of someone blasting you with an ion cannon?

The Republic Star's First Spaceport has always been a docking point for ultra-luxurious space ferries, and those who disembark here are certainly extraordinary individuals. Upon disembarking, there will naturally be either public or private luxury cars waiting to pick them up. Even if one has no "connections" in this place, the hotels where they are staying will send luxurious vehicles to welcome their esteemed guests. Therefore, it can be said that no one takes taxis here, which should be considered a "taxi" forbidden zone.

The telekinetic expert from the bodyguard team reported that there was no telekinetic response from Yang Sen at the time he was shot. Could it be that my feelings at that moment were mistaken? Never mind, I will set aside the matter of Yang Sen for now. When I have time, I will personally investigate it.

Brother Sen, this is the largest square in the Republic Star and the "Adventurer's Paradise". The square museum displays many artifacts from the ancient Galactic Exploration period. Let me take you to see them!" Saying this, he tapped on the soundproof glass, signaling the driver to stop, and then used his wrist computer to swipe the payment machine. "This is 60,000. Wait here; we will be going to other places later, and we will pay again then." Amid the driver's repeated thanks, the one referred to as "Brother Sen" was the first to push open the door

"Zi'er, just take me directly to Galaxy University. You need to hurry home; your parents must be waiting anxiously. How can we let the old butler go back by himself?" The speaker was that "bodyguard."

Three people immediately ran down "Dailum" and rushed towards the taxi

However, thinking of this sum of money, he immediately recalled the 10 billion Cosmic Alliance Coins he owed Lin Yin. "Heavens!" In comparison, it became evident just how enormous the figure of 10 billion Cosmic Alliance Coins was. Yang Sen couldn't help but groan, "The exchange rate between Cosmic Alliance Coins and Federal Credit Points is 1 to 5, which amounts to 50 billion Federal Credit Points!"

Ah, right! Yang Sen quickly activated the credit point inquiry function on his wrist computer. Looking at the value of 2,035,000, he felt quite pleased. "I forgot to account for the 20 million that the old butler gave me. I didn't even have to spend any money while accompanying the young lady around, haha, this is much better now"

However, these successful bodyguards of the savior felt not the slightest joy. Looking at the young lady who was crying and shouting for a doctor while leaning over the fallen boy, they knew that their job was likely beyond saving.

"How many people are around that woman?" The voice of the boss came through the communicator, in the universal language of the Galactic Alliance

After completing the payment and ensuring the binding of weapons and identity, Yang Sen, who was just about to leave, was captivated by the news report on the television wall in the store

Oh, what kind of weapon does the guest desire

There was no other option but to accompany the sales assistant to the nearest wrist computer store, where I selected a very ordinary wrist computer. After putting it on and connecting to the network, I extracted and submitted the genetic identification report. Once my identity was confirmed, I transferred two amounts from my account, one small and one large, to pay the sales assistant and the computer vendor respectively

Yes, I am not very familiar with weapons. Could you please provide a brief introduction

At that moment, the muzzle flashed, and the photon beam had already been fired. "What to do? Deflecting it with telekinesis would be effortless, but clearly, deflecting a powerful photon gun with telekinesis is beyond human capability. If a human's telekinesis could reach the level of the 'Kufar race,' it would undoubtedly be immediately classified as a key research project by the Federal Academy of Sciences. My journey through the galaxy has just begun; I cannot become a guinea pig at this point. There's no choice but to withstand it!" He lightly bit his teeth, instantly adjusted his body position, allowing the beam to pass through his right arm, which was vaporized in the blink of an eye. Since photon weapons do not generate high temperatures, they cannot cauterize the wound, and blood immediately splattered everywhere. Yang Sen let out a muffled groan and fell straight to the ground

"Heavens, such an old model is still sold at such a high price!" Yang Sen walked out of the computer store in a huff. This was his third wrist computer; the first one had disintegrated along with his original body on the sightseeing boat, and he had received an ultra-luxurious model for free on a luxury cruise. That was the latest model from Longxin Company. Alas, why didn't the photon beam hit his left arm? Thinking of that evaporated 'Longxin,' Yang Sen felt his heart bleed!

... ...

Outside the First Airport of the Republic Star, various types of hover cars filled the parking area. Although diverse in variety, luxury was their common characteristic. Red flags, Benchi, Lacady, and Rolls-Royce transformed this place into a showcase of prestigious automobiles

In the underground secret chamber of the "Xianghe Pawnshop" branch in Hong Kong, Lin Yin was frowning as she reviewed a piece of intelligence that had just been delivered

I can no longer listen to what is being said; the actions of the so-called "peaceful" individuals are too swift! If all those with ulterior motives are gone, then why should I still buy weapons? Oh, even a weapon novice knows that weapons that are properly bundled cannot be returned, and I have spent 235,000!

... ...

However, among the many vehicles, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the entirely yellow car. It is so unconventional, abandoning the streamlined body in favor of a high-altitude resistant angular shape. From the light reflection, it is evident that the charming yellow exterior is definitely not a spray paint that can be found on ordinary luxury cars. Moreover, the car body even features a vintage treatment; could this be the trend for luxury cars this year? Oh, and the roof is equipped with three-dimensional spotlights. Look, the light beams coalesce into the characters "Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dancing" and "Displaying Magnificence," which must undoubtedly be the work of a master. The camera zooms in, ah! Such profound characters, they turn out to be—"Taxi"!

No way! They are too busy right now. If I want to see them when I go back, I will have to wait until the evening. Brother Sen, let me accompany you for a stroll. After all, I am also considered the host here!

Alright! However, it can only be transferred until noon; you must return by noon!

The trade of crystals has allowed the Galactic Federation to accumulate a vast amount of wealth, and they are quite adept at utilizing the monetary resources they acquire. Although the cost of obtaining medical technology from the Kamarians is exceedingly high, its efficacy has been remarkably demonstrated in the case of Yansen. Merely after one night, Yansen's severed arm had already regenerated.

Walking on the bustling streets, with the gentle morning sun freely casting its warmth upon him, Yang Sen couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
