Chapter 733: Chapter 400: 7th Lifetime: Ingesting Mist and Absorbing Energy, Body Refining Perfection!_2

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Brother Dong. After the deal, we’ll split it eighty-twenty, you take two, I’ll take eight."

Lu Yuan said straightforwardly.

"Isn’t that too much?"

Hearing this profit share, Wei Dong was startled.

According to the common practice in Xihu City, intermediaries usually take a ten percent or fifteen percent cut at most.

But Lu Yuan directly offered him a twenty percent profit.

It should be known that a hacked Zero-Type Mecha has at least a four million Star Coin profit.

If they split it eighty-twenty, he could pocket eight hundred thousand Star Coins with each sale.

This is sheer profiteering!

"Not too much, Brother Dong, you’ve helped me so much, there’s no need to stand on ceremony."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it graze.

Whether it’s sourcing or selling, he had to rely on Wei Dong’s connections and channels, so although the share was a bit high, it was still reasonable.

"Alright, rest assured I’ll handle it, certainly won’t let you down."

Wei Dong’s face flushed with excitement.

With this money, he could soon gather enough for surgery to repair his damaged meridians.

By then, not only could he restore all his power, but he might also advance further.

Thinking of this.

Wei Dong was full of drive, eager to get started immediately.

That night.

He took the two million Star Coins Lu Yuan gave him and invested heavily through gray channels to buy two Zero-Type Mechas.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan busily managed to hack all the back-end controls and methods left by the Star Alliance.

After a quick sell-off, one million Star Coins were credited!

After deducting two hundred thousand in costs and Wei Dong’s profit share, Lu Yuan earned seven hundred twenty thousand Star Coins from just this transaction.

"This business really is high-profit."

Lu Yuan looked at the series of numbers in his account balance, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Right now, I’m at the Perfect Body Tempering Realm, and Basic Energy Potions are now almost ineffective for me."

"If I want to quickly gain more experience, it would be best to switch to Intermediate or Advanced Energy Potions."

With a huge sum in hand, Lu Yuan immediately started planning how to convert this money into his power.

The efficacy of Advanced Energy Potions is more than twenty times that of Basic Energy Potions.

But the price is also high, each costing fifty thousand Star Coins.

However, this price is still within Lu Yuan’s affordable range.

"Now the most tricky part is that the ’Tier One Mecha Mastery’ skill is blocking my progress."

Lu Yuan slightly moved his mind and called up his virtual panel.

[Talent: Reverse Cause and Effect]

[Number of Future Outcomes that can be Advanced: 0/3]

[Advanced Outcomes: Tier One Mecha Mastery (18% completed), Innate Qi Mixed Element Stance Skill (3%), Complete Military Killing Fist (1%)]

[Future Outcomes that can be Advanced: Gun Master (can master all firearms), Tier Two Mecha Mastery (master all Tier Two Mecha knowledge), Sixteen Techniques of the Star Realm Military Combat...]

[Abilities Already Mastered: Basic Mecha Mastery, Basic Military Killing Fist, Innate Mixed Element Stance Skill]

Now in the Perfect Body Tempering Realm, he could advance three cultivation outcomes ahead of time.

Thanks to the accumulated cultivation experience from multiple reincarnations, Lu Yuan didn’t need much practice and was well-versed in various Martial Techniques.

He just needed to methodically absorb energy to make up for the experience needed for the Innate Qi Mixed Element Skill and Military Killing Fist.

But the skill ’Tier One Mecha Mastery’ requires not just repairing mechas or learning various mecha knowledge.

It also needs piloting mechas and fighting others to quickly complete all the experience.

Otherwise, the progression of this skill is as slow as a tortoise, terribly slow.

"It seems I need to quickly acquire a Virtual Space account to boost my mecha experience."

Lu Yuan pondered quietly.

Star Alliance’s technology is highly advanced.

For example, Virtual Space is a vast virtual universe with 100% realism and experience, almost indistinguishable from the real world.

In Virtual Space.

Mecha Masters can pilot different mechas and engage in battles with mecha geniuses from countless Star Domains to sharpen their combat skills.

However, Hulao Star is far from the Star Alliance’s influence, akin to a primitive society forgotten by Interstellar Civilization.

Virtual accounts that can be registered for free in other Star Domains cost a large sum to buy on Hulao Star.

Only nobles or High-tier Professionals can afford this fee.

"A virtual account costs at least thirty million Star Coins, so I need to accelerate my money-making pace."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Then he gave Wei Dong seven million Star Coins, asking him to buy seven more Zero-Type Mechas.

After repeating this cycle a few times.

Two days later.

Lu Yuan’s balance finally surpassed the fifty million Star Coin threshold!

This was because Wei Dong feared being discovered by the Black Tiger Gang, so he didn’t dare to sell the mechas openly, wasting quite some time.

Otherwise, at Lu Yuan’s efficiency, he could crack twenty Zero-Type Mechas a day.

"Manually cracking is too troublesome, unfortunately, all back-end controls have the Star Alliance’s control codes."

"Otherwise, even an Ordinary-level Light Computer could easily handle these trifles for me."

Lu Yuan sighed.

In this Interstellar Era, living without a light computer is difficult.

Even in the 21st century, smartphone apps could collect users’ information and private data covertly.

And with advanced technology like the Star Alliance, who knows how many surveillance methods are hidden within light computers?

He feared that as soon as he activated a light computer, all information would be synchronized in real-time to the Star Alliance’s internal AI.

Although the Star Alliance covers vast areas with billions of citizens, they might not pay attention to Lu Yuan.

But such pervasive surveillance made Lu Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

"A hacked ordinary-level light computer also costs at least several billion Star Coins."

"Forget it, improving my power comes first."

Lu Yuan showed a bitter smile and decided to put this matter aside for now.

Next.

He closed the shop, took out a vial of Advanced Energy Potion, and began his daily cultivation.

But before long.

A series of rapid, piercing knocks suddenly echoed, waking Lu Yuan from his cultivation status.

"What’s going on? Didn’t I hang the closed sign?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and didn’t immediately open the door.

Instead, he walked to the surveillance screen and checked the situation outside the door through the shop’s monitor.

Outside the repair shop.

A burly man with a scar on his face and tattoos on his arm was banging on the door, shouting something incessantly.

"Open up! I know you’re inside."

"Brother Dong is in trouble! He sent me here to find you!"

The burly man appeared anxious, urging constantly.

His muscles bulged, and his blood qi circulated through his body, evidently a Tier One Martial Artist as well!

"Brother Dong is in trouble?"

Lu Yuan’s eyebrow raised, and instinctively wanted to open the door to find out what was happening.

However, when he saw the half-revealed black tiger tattoo on the burly man’s arm, his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Black Tiger Gang’s men?"

Lu Yuan wasn’t sure and was worried about mistakenly attacking a friend.

To be safe.

He thought for a moment and decided to put on the Zero-Type Mecha and slip out through a secret passage left in the shop.

In Xihu City, robbery and murder were common.

Having lived here for many years, Wei Dong naturally understood the need for multiple escape plans.

This tunnel was a backup route he secretly prepared, known only to him and Lu Yuan.

Though called a tunnel, it was constructed quite spaciously.

It was clear that Wei Dong had considered the issue of wearing mechas when building it.

Lu Yuan piloted the mecha, easily traversing the tunnel to another end of the block and then circled back quietly.

At the cultivation shop’s entrance, the scarred man was still impatiently knocking.

Yet outside the surveillance range, several figures in Zero-Type Mechas were lurking.

Among them, one purple mecha with sleek design and smooth lines, equipped with a Light Blade on one arm and an Alloy Shield, stood conspicuously among the Zero-Type Mechas.

"A Tier One Knight Mecha?"

"They are indeed Black Tiger Gang members; it looks like Brother Dong might not be in good shape."

Lu Yuan’s face turned grim, his heart filled with intense killing intent.

However, he also understood.

Going near water often leads to getting one’s shoes wet.

The Black Tiger Gang wielded enormous influence in Xihu City, and no matter how cautious Wei Dong was, he would eventually be discovered.

Furthermore, this was profiteering, more lucrative than the narcotics trade.

Given their usual profit-driven conduct, how could they possibly give up such a juicy target for nothing?
