Chapter 12

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Grimm fastened the safety rope and floated out to the wreckage wearing the exoskeleton.

The decomposition began.

As the drill and chainsaw on the robotic arm disassembled the pieces of material one by one, Grimm gained a lot of basic supplies.

However, these things were only small side dishes.

After opening a hole on the remnant of the spaceship, Grimm entered inside the cabin.

At first glance, he saw something that looked like a tablet.

“What is this?”

He picked up the thing and took a look.

[ ID Locator ]

[ Description: Can locate the location of one player. Can only be used once a day! ]

“So that’s what it was!”

Grimm recalled the warning notification he received earlier. So Charles had used this thing to find him!

“Hehe! This is a huge gain!”

He didn’t expect obtain such a special item by killing a rookie player!

Was there a courier more considerate than Charles?

Grimm put away the ID locator and continued to collect the material reserves in the cabin. Needless to say, he obtained a lot of basic materials. The important thing was that he also obtained three big apples!

In the vast universe, fruits were absolutely rare goods!

Putting away the apples, Grimm continued to decompose the spaceship. It took him more than ten hours to completely decompose the spaceship.

It was worth mentioning that during the decomposition process, Grimm had also obtained a few chip modules.

Although these things were not as valuable as food, they were definitely still considered rare goods at the current stage.

Back on his spaceship, Grimm was sweating from exhaustion.

He couldn’t wait to drink a cup of nutrient purified water and then he picked up the big apple that he had just captured and took a bite.

Crack!

The apple was sweet, crisp and delicious. It was simply too refreshing!

While the other players were starving and struggling to survive, he was actually living so comfortably.

This difference would be infuriating to others!

Grimm ate the apple and opened the trading center, trying to see if there were any materials that could be purchased.

After going through it for a while, Grimm actually saw a valuable transaction request.

[ High explosive shell data card x 1 trading mechanical module x 30, compact alloy X 60]

Data Card?

Grimm suddenly remembered that he also had a data card!

This thing could still be traded?

Grimm went to the control panel and unplugged the data card of the double-barrel rapid-fire turret that he had obtained previously. Then he checked the technological construction interface. The double-barrel rapid-fire turret could still be manufactured.

He realised that the schematic diagram that he obtained could only be used by himself, but the data card was different. After reading it, it could still be sold!

Then he had to sell the two-barrel rapid-fire artillery data card at a good price. But before that, he had to collect the high-explosive shell data card first.

The high-explosive shell he had was a check-in gift. Grimm couldn’t make it himself. The attack on Charles just now had consumed 40 of his shells in one go.

He had to get the manufacturing principle.

He sent a private message to the seller.

[ If the data card for the high-explosive shell is a bit cheaper. I will consider buying it. ]

The other party quickly replied.

[ This is a data card. My bid is not low! ]

Grimm smiled. With the bid this player made, probably not many players in the world could afford it. Moreover, at this stage, using ordinary metal shells was sufficient for everyone. Even if they bought the data card for the high-explosive shell, they might not be able to afford producing it.

[ Save it. If your offer was reasonable, it would have been sold long ago. Who has that much resources now? With a 50% discount, I can consider taking it. ]

[50% discount? You’re too greedy! ]

[ At most, I’ll give you an apple on top of that. The kind that’s very sweet and crisp! ]

[ Apple… Apple? You still have fruit? ]

The person was obviously stunned for a moment. Grimm immediately replied.

[ Deal or no deal? Give me a quick reply. I’m very busy! ]

The person went silent for a few seconds before finally replying.

[ Alright, deal. ]

Grimm smiled. This was what he had been waiting for.

He quickly sent the transaction content and instantly closed the deal. Using only half of the price plus an apple, he obtained the high explosive ammunition data card.

He had made a profit from this transaction!

If this person met a buyer who knew the goods, this data card could at least be sold for several times the offer price.

Grimm happily inserted the data card into the console.

Opening the technology construction interface, the high explosive shell manufacturing principle reading was completed.

[ High explosive shell: 20 basic energy points, dense alloy X 5, fiery ore x 5]

“Fiery ore?”

Grimm was depressed. He had never seen such a thing before.

“In that case, go to the players and trade some back.”

He smiled slightly and hung up the two data cards to the trading center for sale.

[ High explosive shell data card x 1 trading fiery ore x 200]

[ dual-barrel rapid-fire artillery data card x 1 trading fiery ore x 300]

The moment these two transactions were posted, the face of the player who had just sold the high-explosive ammunition data card to Grimm turned black with anger.

This person had just bought his data card at a low price and then tried to sell at a price several times higher!

Of course, Grimm didn’t know how angry that player was at the moment. What he was really concerned about was when the transaction would be completed.

According to his estimation, players who had the ability to pay for such a huge amount of materials were simply rare.

However, he was not in a hurry. There would always be players who were willing to buy good items.

Just as he was thinking about it, he received a private message.

[ The price of the two-barrel rapid-fire turret is too high. Can it be cheaper? ]

[ No, this turret is much more powerful than the basic turret. ]

[ But the materials you need are singular. We can’t gather them all at once! ]

“We? Another team!”

Sure enough, at this stage, only players who formed a team could afford to buy their own battery data card.

[ “Only trading for fiery ores, nothing else.”]

[ “Alright, wait for us for some time.”]

[ “Try to be as fast as possible. If someone can afford the materials, I’ll sell it immediately.”]

Grimm closed the private message and smirked proudly.

It was very obvious that the other party had taken a fancy to his data card. It was absolutely worth it to trade a data card for 300 pieces of fiery ores!

The rest was to wait for the other party to deliver the goods.

…

At this time, all the members of the Death Star team gathered together.

“Leader, are we really going to use 300 pieces of fiery ores to trade with that guy?”

“That person is too greedy!”

The leader shook his head helplessly.

“There’s nothing we can do. We need a higher-level turret. Stop whining. Now, distribute the quest. The six of us must each get 50 pieces of fiery ores in one day!”

“Leader, how is this possible?”

“I don’t care what method you use. In short, you must seize this deal before the other players do!”

Everyone nodded gloomily and dispersed.

But in the next moment, the leader of the Death Star team received a private message from Grimm.

[ It’s You? Can you lower the price? ]

He thought that Grimm took the initiative to come to him, the price could still be negotiated. But when he saw the message content, he instantly became depressed.

[ There’s another team offering 350 pieces of hard ores. Do as you see fit! ]
