The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 42
He was most afraid of the sudden silence.
Yue An waited for a long time, but the other party still didn't nod. He felt a little confused.
His speech was still in a state of pure imitation, and he had never haggled when he bought things. He didn't even know what zeroing meant.
He just remembered the three sentences Ji Xiuyun said when he bought the spirit stones, and then repeated them completely.
How many high-grade energy crystals do you have?
Price?
All of them. Zeroing. One million and two hundred thousand.
Yue An understood the first two sentences, and the Yue An also understood a little — he understood the first two words.
Yue An looked at the silent businessman in silence. He vaguely felt that he had probably made a mistake.
He didn't say anything.
He also didn't know what to say.
He didn't have anything to say at the moment. After all, he just learned how to pronounce the words yesterday.
The businessman felt that the conversation just now sounded a little familiar — the last person who wanted all of them had left a deep impression on him. Thinking carefully, weren't these the exact words of the previous person?
He was confused for a while. He carefully looked at the young man in front of him and said tentatively, "Sir, the price of high-grade energy crystals can change."
Yue An tilted his head slightly. He didn't understand what this had to do with him.
The businessman was a little confused by his reaction.
He tried again and said, "As usual, I'll give you ten thousand. This is the highest discount. One million and three hundred thousand."
After saying this, he paused and added, "One crystal."
Yue An heard him say this and immediately understood where he had gone wrong.
Little Kitten was silent for a long time. She held his completely expressionless face and cut off Ji Xiuyun's last sentence, leaving only what he understood. She simply said, "I want all of them."
The two sides reached a perfect agreement. The businessman's expression instantly relaxed.
This person didn't deny what he had said before. He was most likely the previous big customer.
Big customers are good.
She was generous and did not nag. She swiped her card without any hesitation. She did not lack money.
The businessman happily took out the credit card machine from under the counter. He pressed the number and said, "540 million."
One good thing about the black market was that there was no need to pay taxes.
A big deal was enough to feed the entire store chain for a long time.
His luck this year was really good. He had two big orders in a row.
One had to know that they would purchase 800 high-grade energy ores each time. Based on the sales of previous years, it would be enough for his shop to sell for a year. When the market was bad, he wouldn't even be able to sell them out in a year.
The merchant looked at the young man who took out the card from his pocket with a smile on his face. When his gaze swept over the card, he paused slightly.
The face of the card was exactly the same as the one of the soldier who had come to the store and bought all the remaining stock.
It was not because there was any special symbol on it, but because the black market merchants were used to leaving traces of their important clients in places where they could recognize them.
After all, it was normal for people who entered and exited the black market to change into different body shapes, faces, skin colors, and even races. They had to find a way to recognize them.
This merchant was used to quietly leaving a mark on the face of his customers' magnetic cards.
The materials of that kind of ancient magnetic card were quite ordinary, leaving a scratch with a special shape, which was very simple and couldn't be repaired. It was very easy for big customers like them to identify it.
It was that big customer from the last time, after all.
The merchant thought as he swiped the card. This time, he openly sized up Yue An's appearance.
The customer's appearance was a lot better than the last time. It was especially pleasing to the eye. He just didn't know which actor he was based on. He had never seen him before.
After swiping the card, the merchant returned it to Yue An and led him into the warehouse.
He pushed out a box that was a bit bigger than the previous one. When he opened it, it was full of energy crystals that were emitting a light purple glow.
"Please count them, sir," he said.
Yue An counted very quickly, especially when it came to the spirit stones and the tail.
He had already counted them very quickly in a short ten seconds.
It was all in one piece. 800 stones, not one less.
Yue An nodded very happily. He swiped the balance and skillfully closed and locked the box. He pressed a button on the top, and the roller under the box was pushed out again.
The merchant looked at his practiced posture, and when the young man turned to walk towards the exit, he followed him as usual.
Yue An tilted his head and glanced at him.
The merchant's face was still smiling. Seeing him look over, he asked, "Have you used up all the energy crystals you bought last time?"
Yue An looked at him and nodded slightly.
The merchant looked at Yue An's lazy posture, which didn't have the slightest bit of military style from last time. He suddenly realized that this person might have been in disguise the last time he came.
Thinking about the information he had spread, he suddenly became a little embarrassed. "You're not from the military?"
Yue An heard that and shook his head.
The merchant rubbed his hands and asked him, "May I ask where you bought this disguise equipment?"
Yue An had already walked to the elevator door. Hearing the merchant's question, he was a little startled.
Yi?
"It looks very good!"
The merchant complimented. He was very good at flattering a big client. "I haven't seen such an exquisite and beautiful disguise equipment in a long time. It even has a special function."
Yue An memorized the disguise equipment and pushed the box into the elevator. He turned around and looked at the merchant, who was still smiling. He thought about it and nodded.
The merchant interpreted it as a sign that he was pleased with the flattery.
Yue An watched as the elevator door closed. He put his hand on the box beside him. One second before the elevator door reached the exit, he disappeared with the box in an instant.
Unsurprisingly, there were still people waiting at the exit. They were trying to take advantage of the situation.
News about the black market spread very quickly. Yue An didn't try to hide it, so there were naturally many people waiting at the exit.
Yue An floated up slightly with the box. He silently and swiftly drifted past the ambushed corridor. He didn't stop walking as he walked back to his car.
Yue An felt that his trip had been very smooth.
— — Get in the car, go home, and wait for Ji Xiuyun's teeth to be nailed to the wall.
Yue An happily drifted to the busy parking lot outside the shopping mall.
There were countless people walking around. Some of them were empty-handed, while others were pushing boxes that looked exactly like Yue An's.
Yue An landed on the ground. He opened the car door and got in. He deactivated his invisibility and human form. He crawled out of the pile of clothes and dragged the box into the car.
However, he never expected that just as he was getting used to his original form's sharp reflexes, he would hear a series of footsteps rushing toward him at an incomparably rapid pace.
Yue An's ears perked up. He reached out his paw and pulled the car door shut.
However, just as the door was about to close, the car door was forcefully pulled open. A panicked young man with tear stains on his face rushed in. He turned around and slammed the car door shut.
"Hurry up and drive!
Run! "
The young man turned around with a sobbing tone. He saw a white cat squatting on the side and looking up at him. The man and the cat looked at each other. He froze for a second, then burst into tears. He hugged the white cat in a panic. "Save me! Hurry up and contact Ji Xiuyun!!"
Yue An: "…"
???
Marshal Ji felt his eyelids twitch from the start of the trial to the end.
— — The defendants had clearly given up on struggling. During the trial, Ji Xiuyun's lawyer had already announced all the charges against them. The people standing in the dock confessed to their experiments and didn't show any signs of remorse.
This undoubtedly angered the jury and the onlookers.
People attacked them, and in the chaos of the angry jury, after mediation by the judge, two more charges of intentional injury and illegal imprisonment were added to the charge of violating the Interstellar Code.
After that, the trial didn't need Ji Xiuyun to appear.
Things were going smoothly.
But Marshal Ji's eyelids didn't stop twitching.
He walked out of the Supreme Court and was about to turn on his optical computer when he was stopped by someone.
Marshal Ji looked at the person who stopped him. It was the Emperor's secretary.
At this moment, this person's face was full of anxiety. He motioned for him to walk to the side.
Ji Xiuyun touched his eyelids and checked his optical computer. He wondered if something had happened to the little Emperor since he was so anxious.
Marshal Ji was thinking when he suddenly saw that there was a transfer record of more than one billion in his mailbox. The destination of the transfer was blank.
More than one billion.
It turned to a blank.
Ji Xiuyun: "…"
It seemed like my cat had started to buy cat food by herself.
Ji Xiuyun wasn't worried that something had happened to Yue An. After all, it had a fighting ability.
Marshal Ji thought about this and paused slightly. He still felt that something wasn't right.
At this moment, the secretary had already pulled him to a corner. He anxiously lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty is missing!"
Ji Xiuyun's scattered thoughts instantly came back to him.
