Chapter 619: Chapter 613: Meng Tian
“Transfer the payment, star credits.” Finn Lewis said directly. In Finn’s hands, there was no such messy currency, only star credits.
When the shopkeeper heard that Finn was paying with star credits, he was stunned for a moment, then disbelief spread across his face, and he stuttered, “Sir, are you paying all in star credits?”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing Finn’s confirmation, the clerk was almost excited enough to jump up. He decided to give Finn a 10% discount. Calculating in star credits, Finn only spent 50,000 credits.
After successfully making the payment, the trio exited the store with everything packed into an automatically following magnetic levitation suitcase. As they walked out, Dunn Monty became vigilant, and he placed several pieces of weaponry they just purchased in easy-to-reach places.
“Young master, do you want to stay in the spaceport city for a while, or go to the planet below? In my personal opinion, we should just stay in the spaceport city.” Dunn became alert as soon as they left the store, and he quickly suggested.
“We’re headed to the planet below. Also, I think we need a guide. Or rather, are you two familiar with this place?” Finn turned and asked Dunn and Thomas Calvin.
“Not really.” Dunn shook his head. “I’ve been here before, but I haven’t been to the planet below.”
After saying that, Dunn quickly left. About ten minutes later, Dunn returned and swiftly handed Finn and Thomas a blue card each. The black card they had before was tossed by Dunn into a distant trash can.
Since these things were not personalized, they got three blue cards, and the three of them went directly to the entrance. The checks at the entrance were much stricter than the previous ones, but Finn couldn’t tell what they were checking for; those weapons seemed invisible to them.
Also, they didn’t check the things in your hand. Soon, it was Finn and his friends’ turn. Seeing the three blue cards in their hands, the checks became a bit more good-natured. They courteously took Finn and the others aside, asked for their names, the purpose of their visit, how long they expected to stay, and then Finn noticed they input some of their information into the blue cards.
After it was done, they returned the cards to the trio and warned, “You can buy tickets at the front to get to the ground. You can carry your weapons with you, but remember if you damage public property, etc., you’ll have to pay double the damages. Also, avoid getting into trouble.”
Leaving the entrance, a large crowd immediately swarmed up, “Sir, do you need a guide? I’m very familiar with this area... I know everything you want to know, and I can take you anywhere you want to go. I only charge 100 black coins a day.”
“Sir... I only need 80 a day!”
“Sir...” As predicted, all the guides around here certainly knew their business, especially about the notorious Death Star. Among the visitors, aside from some fugitives who sought refuge, a large number came here to buy goods that were unavailable elsewhere.
“You.” Finn pointed directly at a skinny kid in the crowd. The kid was skinny and looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He seemed to come from a poor family – his clothes were tattered but clean, and many parts had been patched up. However, the child had a sharp look in his eyes. Finn could tell that the kid was very clever. However, no matter how clever he was, it wasn’t very useful in the crowded place they were in. If Finn didn’t want to find someone with complicated thoughts, he probably wouldn’t have chosen him.
Never underestimate these guides. If you find a good guide with good connections to places you want to buy from, you can save a lot of detours. Of course, being a child doesn’t mean he’s simple-minded. It’s just that the probability is lower by comparison.
