Chapter 1330: Chapter 1076 Selling Oneself_2
"However, this Mini Cosmic Stone Light Cannon..." The Azure Sky Emperor was also very tempted by this device.
"We really don’t know about that; he always likes to come up with some bizarre things. When he returns, you can ask him yourself. With his personality, he hardly ever refuses anyone," Ai Lin said.
"That’s just wonderful!" The Azure Sky Emperor was extremely excited. If he could have the Mini Cosmic Stone Light Cannon as described, then the combat power of his Azure Sky Empire would surely rise to a whole new level! Even when facing those Giant Monsters as before, he wouldn’t be so helpless.
At that moment, Long Yi also saw the bounty on himself, and the figure was indeed staggering. However, having earned enough money in the Lower Plane, he no longer cared about it.
At this time, Long Yi was in a market in a small town on a planet in some country, routinely stocking various food seasonings into his private space, and then he handed his card to the shopkeeper. Seeing that Long Yi was paying with a card, the shopkeeper immediately treated him like a distinguished guest, but after swiping the card, the shopkeeper’s face darkened.
"Sir, you aren’t joking, are you? Your card has no money on it!"
Looking at the shopkeeper’s expression, Long Yi hurriedly checked, and indeed, there was not a penny in his account!
How could this be, when he clearly...
Long Yi smacked his forehead hard. That was in the Lower Plane! This is the Middle Plane! Although the cards issued by the Giant are universally accepted, he had no money in this Plane!
Luckily, Long Yi wasn’t penniless. He took out a Cosmic Stone from his private space and handed it to the shopkeeper. Seeing the large Cosmic Stone that Long Yi offered, the shopkeeper immediately brightened up with a smile. After all, as ammunition for the Cosmic Stone Cannons, Cosmic Stones were always in short supply on the market, and the price of this stone was far more than what Long Yi owed.
"Haha, of course, even a distinguished person like yourself can pick the wrong card sometimes! Hahaha!"
Long Yi could only nod helplessly.
Had he known this would happen, he would have squandered the money in the Lower Plane before entering the Middle Plane.
But since money was tight, there wasn’t much he could do about it.
Why not sell some information about himself?
The bounties from the pirates were posted in the Bounty Hunter Guild, and countless bounty hunters drooled over the lofty reward notices. But after all, finding Long Yi was easier said than done, especially since he reportedly had two Mini Cosmic Stone Light Cannons; no one was really eager to provoke him.
At this moment, Long Yi, disguised as a shriveled young man, walked into the Bounty Hunter Guild. Many people came and went there daily, and many looked like him, so no one paid him any attention.
"I want to sell some information, time-sensitive information," Long Yi said in a low voice.
"Oh? What level of information?" asked the beautiful girl at the front desk with a professional smile.
"Top level," Long Yi lowered his voice even more, signaling with his eyes towards the highest bounty on the board—his whereabouts.
"Are you sure? Would you like to read through the terms in detail? Selling false information in our guild could lead to very serious consequences," the girl said, her professional smile unchanged. There were too many people like him trying to make a quick fortune with a false piece of information; she really didn’t care.
"I’ve seen him with my own eyes and seen what he had in his hand. This is a time-sensitive piece of information unless you want to turn it into a false one with your questioning, but then that would be your responsibility," Long Yi said.
The girl’s smile remained unchanged as she extended her hand and said, "Please provide an identity card to receive the payment. If you don’t have one, we also offer card services. We can provide silver cards, gold cards, and crystal cards, but we don’t offer Giant cards..." The girl hadn’t finished speaking when Long Yi already handed his card to her.
"Giant card!"
The girl exclaimed in surprise.
In the middle Plane, using currency cards for transactions was a common phenomenon. The currency cards were divided into three grades: silver, gold, and crystal stone, with different levels corresponding to different opening prices and different amounts of money that could be stored. Therefore, people also referred to the currency cards as identity cards. The Giant card was extremely rare here because it was a product manufactured by the Giants, and it had the same function as the currency card, but with limited availability, the card itself was very expensive. Nowadays, most currency cards were manufactured as imitations of the Giant card. It could be said that the Giant card itself was a symbol of both identity and wealth.
Seeing that it was a Giant card, the girl’s disdainful look softened a lot. She used magic to mark Long Yi’s card, then handed Long Yi a metallic panel, on which the text written would be immediately transmitted to the task publisher.
Long Yi took the pen, wrote down a bunch of addresses, and then, retrieving his card, he turned and walked away.
Yes, he had to turn and walk away. Because he had just sold his own location to ensure credibility, he really had to go there.
Making money was not easy at all.
Long Yi felt a pang of emotion.
The location Long Yi wrote was a small inn in the outskirts of the planet where he had rented for a few days. Now, all he had to do was wait honestly for people to show up.
Long Yi’s message was immediately sent out, and before long, Long Yi noticed some sneaky people coming to the inn; their purpose was obviously to find someone. To prove he was there, Long Yi came out of his room, ran downstairs, and specifically ordered a large cup of barley beer before returning to his room. Although he wasn’t wearing those two mini light cannons at his waist, the uniquely shaped gun holster immediately dazzled the spies.
"This information is true!"
The message was quickly relayed back to the inner circles of the three major Pirate Groups. Meanwhile, those paying attention to Long Yi’s movements included not only the three Pirate Groups but also bounty hunters. Although Long Yi was described as formidable, most bounty hunters had no interest in direct confrontations. Thus, some bounty hunters decided to strike first.
When Long Yi left his room, he deliberately did not take his mini light cannons with him. A bounty hunter immediately slipped into his room stealthily, just as he thought he was about to make a fortune, another professional thief also sneaked in, seeing the priceless items about to fall into someone else’s pocket, both parties immediately began a silent confrontation. Just then, Long Yi returned.
There was only a loud bang, followed by Long Yi’s cursing, "You little bastards! Even daring to touch my stuff!"
The guests downstairs hurriedly left the inn, only to see a hole blasted in the floor above, with Long Yi standing at the hole cursing. On the street below, two completely charred bodies laid lifeless. Apparently, they had taken the full brunt of the cannon.
When the people from the three major Pirate Groups hurried over, Long Yi was already gone, leaving only the hole in the wall to prove that Long Yi had been there.
"These damned bounty hunters, good for nothing and always messing things up!" Yahola was furious upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, at the Bounty Hunter Guild, a message appeared, urging them to confirm whether this bounty had been successful.
Although he resented that the bounty hunters had spoiled his plan this time, he dared not withhold the money, for if there was a record of this, the Bounty Hunter Guild would not provide their services to them again. And as a pirate, without the bounty posting service, their success rate might reduce by more than half!
Being a miser, he painfully confirmed the reward. The Bounty Hunter Guild took a third, and the rest was transferred into Long Yi’s card.
"Indeed, wealth often comes from informational asymmetry! Hahaha!" Long Yi looked at the digits that magically appeared in his card, feeling a sudden reassurance in his heart.
"Indeed, selling out myself seems to bring in money faster." Long Yi thought wickedly to himself. (To be continued.
