Li Ming felt a surging fulfillment in his body and couldn’t help but clench his fists, feeling an irresistible urge to vent.
The fusion of the three Liberation Forms, he estimated, had given him an overall enhancement of about twenty times, with a conversion rate of around 70%.
He glanced at the control page, and his metal energy balance was less than ten million, only a little over nine million left.
Outside the porthole, the stars flowed like rain, and the fleet had slimmed down again, leaving only the Cruise.
The starship Li Ming had seized, he had sold to Theo, for a not-so-low price of fifty million. After all, it was a luxury model, and the price was fair.
After releasing his form, the multiple transformations at the genetic level made him feel somewhat weak, severely lacking in nutrients, and his cells were on the verge of autophagy.
So he simply went out to the cafeteria; the Cruise was highly automated, and there were hardly any staff in the corridors.
"Lord Azure Dragon..." The chef in the cafeteria had a pleasing and gentle voice, like that of a slender young girl if one closed their eyes and imagined.
Unfortunately, before him stood a life form one meter tall, with slender limbs and pink translucent skin.
The Hal Clan, unable to undergo genetic evolution due to their unique bodily structure,
possessed a natural sensitivity to smells and tastes, making them renowned chefs in the Silver Star Cluster.
"Pomi, give me a Nolan diamond crab and a Magnetic Crystal Salad," Li Ming casually took his seat and ordered.
"I’m sorry, Lord Azure Dragon, the diamond crabs have all been eaten by Sandro," Pomi said helplessly.
"What a glutton..." Li Ming shook his head speechlessly, then quickly added, "Then replace it with crystal shrimp."
"Okay." Pomi nodded and went to prepare the food. While waiting, Sandro also came to the cafeteria.
"There you are..." The burly man casually sat down next to Li Ming, "I went to your room to find you, and the ship’s AI said you weren’t there."
Li Ming glanced at him, "You needed me for something?"
"Hey..." Sandro laughed awkwardly, looking around guiltily, and whispered,
"Do you still want those metal materials? Let’s do this, let’s settle for ten billion, and you give me two point five billion, and I’ll give you all the metal materials."
"Not interested," Li Ming shook his head, the metal energy inside had been drained by him, now it was worth about twenty-five million.
"Don’t be too harsh..." Sandro was a bit desperate, thinking the other party wanted to drive the price down further.
As they approached the rendezvous point set by the Torch Organization, he gradually came to his senses.
Holding onto these metal materials was indeed pointless for him; better to sell them to Azure Dragon.
Blame that bastard Ulrich for driving up the price, which stirred up his greed.
"Don’t think I don’t see what you’re up to, trying to play hard to get," Sandro lowered his head and ground his teeth, "Two billion, can’t go any lower."
He still thought Li Ming approached him earlier to negotiate the metal materials, now it was just a matter of price.
"Theo seems to have pushed it a bit too far. After all, we are all friends, and the price is too low," Li Ming suddenly spoke up.
Sandro agreed fervently, angrily exclaiming, "Yeah, that blind bastard, thinking one billion would..."
He stopped halfway, suddenly realizing what he had revealed, and hastily shut up.
"One billion," Li Ming couldn’t help but remark on Theo’s ruthlessness.
Sandro’s face went from clouded to clear, finally, he said, "One billion and five hundred million, that’s my final price."
"I advise you to sell it to Theo," Li Ming sincerely advised.
Sandro’s face shifted between pale and flushed, the price was more than a half cut, though these items had come easily, once acquired, how could he let them go so easily?
"I won’t sell then, I’m not lacking that bit of money," Sandro huffed and left in frustration.
