Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 242: Chapter 227: The Power of Changing Realm (Third update!)

Lin Yun had already chosen the seller and quickly made the purchase and payment after deciding.

Next, he waited for the robot of this level to be transported over.

One thousand Spirit Crystals ... don't think that it was a small amount because Lin Yun's Cosmic Trading System and the device that absorbed and refined Spiritual Energy could yield so many Spirit Crystals a day.

Remember, this was a special case on Earth.

If Lin Yun wanted to exchange Earth's resources for Spirit Crystals, he would need to spend billions of Huaxia Currency to purchase resources, to get this many Spirit Crystals.

Was it expensive to buy a Martial Artist at the beginning of Huajin phase with billions of Huaxia Currency?

On Earth, those Huajin Grandmasters could shake the world, but how many of them had a fortune of billions?

Moreover, let's talk about Star Blue, the owner of a Cosmic Trading System.

After Star Blue unified the population of his civilization and gathered them together, his Cosmic Trading System could only obtain one and a half Spirit Crystals a day. At this rate, it would take two years to buy a Martial Artist with the power at the beginning of Huajin phase. Wasn't this cost large?

If Lin Yun were Star Blue, he guessed that Star Blue would rather train a Martial Artist of this level himself. In fact, this was the approach of many Cosmic Trading System owners.

Not that they didn't want to buy robots of this level, or even more advanced robots, but they were too expensive.

A few could be purchased, but for a large-scale purchase, not many could handle it.

If the strength of a person increased, then the Spiritual Energy provided would be more. If a purchased robot was not needed, it would be a waste.

A cheap, normal spaceship, regardless of strength or capability, could still fly to the stars, costing only ten thousand Spirit Crystals.

From this perspective, one could see how expensive a thousand Spirit Crystals were.

Only Lin Yun could be so willful, making such a decision after only a few minutes of thought.

In the early and mid to late stages of development for any other Cosmic Trading System owner, considering the purchase of such a "large" item, they would normally weigh the decision for half a month or even more.

"Buzz——"

About a minute later, Lin Yun felt a fluctuation in the trading space, and a middle-aged man in black appeared.

This robot's image was a middle-aged man as customized by Lin Yun, fearing that if it was too young, its powerful strength would be too startling.

To be honest, when Lin Yun "saw" this middle-aged man in black, his heart jumped.

Because this robot, with its every move so natural, seemed extremely human.

Without comparison, there can be no difference. Lin Yun thought the "advanced" robots he had previously purchased were very like real humans. But seeing this robot, he realized how inferior the robots he had previously purchased were.

Just like a person used to a low-quality phone suddenly using a high-quality phone, or a person used to a poor computer suddenly using a good computer, they would notice a significant difference.

Or perhaps the difference was even larger.

Because the robots he previously purchased could only be considered level one robots, products of a level one civilization.

The level of this robot had reached level three, a product that only a level three civilization could produce.

The technological content between the two was more than just one level apart.

"Master!" Outside, the middle-aged man in black immediately spoke in a respectful tone as soon as he saw Lin Yun.

"Don't call me master, call me... eh, Young Master Lin!" Lin Yun thought for a while and said.

The term 'master' was somewhat awkward and not fitting for the times. It would be too shocking for a Huajin Grandmaster to call him master, too low in status and a bit fake. He thought of how some people addressed young people of higher status and ranking.

By the end, the corner of his mouth was slightly curved.

Hearing a Huajin Grandmaster call him Young Master Lin would definitely earn him face.

"I will give you a name, you shall be... Lin Tian!" After a pause, Lin Yun said.

A Huajin Grandmaster without a name felt wrong. Lin Tian was a very common name, but Lin Yun planned to name the next robot of this level he bought Lin Di, followed by Lin Xuan, and Lin Huang.

These names corresponded perfectly to the words Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow in Chinese culture. This way it sounded unique and was easy to remember.

"Thank you for the name, Young Master Lin!" The middle-aged man in black nodded slightly, his tone was very cold.

This was also part of the personality trait that Lin Yun chose. He wasn't quite sure to what extent this level of robot resembled a real human. If its behavior was more aloof, it would be less likely to be detected by others.

Grandmasters acting indifferent was common as well.

"Let me take a look at your strength!"

Then, Lin Yun said.

He was curious about how strong a Grandmaster was.

"Begin!"

Both of them took their positions, and Lin Yun spoke.

"Bang——"

The next moment, Lin Yun's body flew back, striking the wall hard behind him.

At the same time, his internal energy churned within him, as if his body was falling apart.

It took a while for Lin Yun to get up from the ground, utterly shocked.

This robot's speed was too fast, right?

He had just noticed signs of the robot's movement, but he didn't have time to react!

Was this... the strength of a Grandmaster?

If so, it was too terrifying!

"Are you sure you only have the strength of the initial Huajin phase?" Lin Yun took a deep breath, not able to believe it as he asked the question.

"Yes, my strength, if compared to the realm of a Martial Artist, is at the initial phase of Huajin. In order not to hurt Young Master Lin, I only used 3% of my strength just now. I didn't expect Young Master Lin to have a protective gear..." Lin Tian nodded and said.

This was the advantage of advanced intelligence, understanding Lin Yun's intention to spar, so when he made a move against Lin Yun, he automatically held back some strength.

At the same time, it could also have "unexpected" occurrences, much like the way a real person thinks.

"This strength, it's too strong!" Lin Yun shook his head and laughed bitterly.

He wore protective gear, yet the robot had only used 3% of its strength, and he was beaten like this. He had underestimated a Grandmaster's strength.

Of course, even if the robot used all its force, it wouldn't seriously injure him, as the way it hit was ultimately different from a true Grandmaster's. It could not utilize the internal energy unique to Martial Artists, something Lin Yun knew long ago. Even if the robot could simulate this "internal energy" using unique energy, it was not the same.

As long as it wasn't, his protective gear would work effectively when defending.

His protection equipment had multiple modes activated. As long as the attack did not threaten his life or severely injure him, the equipment would merely weaken it and not counter it. This was designed to prevent him from appearing fake, not reacting at all when hit with a formidable force while fighting.

If the robot gave its all, his protection equipment would still absorb more of the attack, so he wouldn't be in danger. This was why he dared to "spar" with the robot just now.

However, this applied only to this robot. In the case of real Martial Artists, the results wouldn't be the same.

The protection gear had no effect on Martial Artists' internal energy.

The internal energy of a Huajin Grandmaster was said to be extremely powerful. If hit with the same force, he was afraid he couldn't stand it.

Looking at it presently, it was a wise decision not to fight the black-haired old man last time, and instead plot his death directly. If they had fought, the situation would have been uncontrollable. Moreover, he could have potentially faced real danger to his life.

Dark Strength at its peak was not far off from the initial phase of the Huajin.
