Chapter 280: Unprecedented Confidence

Through the projected image, Shen Xing could clearly see the inside of the box. Just a glance caused him to furrow his brows.

Because it really was just a warhead, meaning it still needed to be processed before it could be used.

Weapons like this were not easy to process. If the technology wasn’t up to par, it would be easily crushed before it could even be detonated.

This was also the main reason why, despite its immense power, this type of weapon was gradually being phased out and relegated to secondary or tertiary roles.

Oh well, it was free anyway.

Shen Xing nodded, then looked at Hao San again, “What about our deal?”

“If it’s confirmed, delivery can be made in three days,” Hao San said, his face beaming.

“Alright,” Shen Xing nodded, but then quickly shook his head, “But the things I’m offering are worth more.”

“We will make up the difference,” Hao San quickly replied.

But Shen Xing shook his head again, “I don’t want Federation credits. I want something else.”

“Something else?”

“Exactly,” Shen Xing uttered a few words, “I want to exchange it all for this kind of nuclear weapon.”

Hao San’s eyes widened instantly.

The uses of this type of weapon were actually quite limited. Most were used on the front lines for large-scale clearing of minor enemies, or purchased by anti-Federation organizations to threaten the Federation. Why would this person want to buy so many?

Could it be that this person was also a member of an anti-Federation organization?

Beads of cold sweat were already forming on Hao San’s forehead.

It could only be said that arms dealers like them faced considerable risks when selling high-risk weapons; there were too many powerful figures behind the scenes.

“What, you can’t sell them?”

“I need to consult with my superiors,” Hao San couldn’t make the decision himself.

“Hehe,” Shen Xing chuckled softly, “I’ll allow you to install a friend-or-foe program in these weapons as well, because I don’t intend to use them against any of your known forces. It’s a hidden force that hasn’t shown its face in a long time.”

A hidden force?

Hao San’s eyes instantly lit up.

If that was the case, it would make sense.

No wonder the other party was willing to buy faster-than-light missiles with such strict friend-or-foe identification programs.

However, nuclear weapons were different from faster-than-light missiles. The main technology of faster-than-light missiles lay in their materials. Once formed, they were impossible to disassemble, and the friend-or-foe identification system installed inside was very reliable.

But nuclear weapons, even if installed, could still be tampered with or hacked.

“I still need to report to my superiors,” Hao San said again, “I won’t keep you waiting long.”

“Alright,” Shen Xing nodded, then directly addressed the two former members of the Ten Thousand Gods Society, “Give me the contact information of a few more arms dealers.”

“…” Hao San’s cold sweat started dripping again.

This type of weapon was different from the faster-than-light missiles that could threaten those in the Sixth Realm. Its strategic significance was not as strong. If they didn’t sell, there were plenty of others who would.

The other party saying these words in front of him made his intentions clear.

But Hao San didn’t say anything. He had already decided to either get clear authorization from his superiors or have someone else take over.

He, a mere Third Realm, couldn’t handle this level of transaction!

And this time, Hao San returned even faster than before.

“We’ll sell! We can add four more. In addition, you will henceforth be a supreme member of our Divine Weapon Society, with the lowest prices on all our goods!” Hao San said respectfully, “Please believe me, you won’t find more tempting weapons anywhere else.”

“We’ll see about that after I’ve compared,” Shen Xing said noncommittally.

The only reason he was buying from the Divine Weapon Society was that they had a wide variety of goods.

But now that he was here, there was no need to worry about not being able to buy things.

He also needed to buy more from other places.

Then, Shen Xing stood up directly, “I’m going to rent a place. Future transactions will take place at my own residence.”

“Sir, are you planning to stay here long-term?” Hao San was taken aback.

If he was just going to complete the transaction and leave, there was no need to rent his own place.

Unless he planned to stay here for a long time.

“You’re asking too many questions,” Shen Xing’s tone remained calm, “Deliver the goods to the ship within three days.”

“…Yes, sir, don’t worry,” Hao San was silent for a moment, then left respectfully.

In fact, his superiors had instructed him to build a good relationship with this “big customer” and make him aware of the quality and affordability of their goods.

But this was someone who was willing to buy faster-than-light missiles.

Someone of this level was far beyond what a mere Third Realm like him could handle.

“I originally thought I just got lucky and caught a Mountain and Sea Realm from the Ten Thousand Gods Society, but this is clearly a giant crocodile,” Hao San thought to himself after leaving, looking back at the villa, “Faster-than-light missiles, it’s been years since someone with an unknown identity bought one of these.”

Under normal circumstances, they would have a general understanding of whichever individual or force such a weapon fell into.

But this person was truly a complete unknown.

Perhaps this was why the higher-ups decided to sell. They probably wanted to see what this person’s background was.

If you buy weapons, you’re going to use them. And if you use them, there will be traces.

◈◈◈

But Shen Xing didn’t care what they thought. He now realized that even here, weapons like this weren’t easy to buy.

But that was alright.

As long as he got his hands on them.

One might not even be enough.

“What are you waiting for?” Shen Xing looked at the two people in front of him, “Contact other arms dealers, the ones who can sell faster-than-light missiles. Don’t tell me you don’t know any.”

“Yes, yes!” The two were startled and agreed tremblingly.

They had originally thought this was just talk to threaten the Divine Weapon Society.

But it turned out that this new boss really intended to contact them?

One faster-than-light missile wasn’t enough?

They were truly shocked, but they didn’t dare to ask a single question. They had now betrayed the Ten Thousand Gods Society, and their lives were completely in the hands of this person.

They had no choice but to obey.

And Shen Xing did indeed plan to buy a few more.

Soon, he directly contacted several large arms dealers within the Ten Thousand Merchants Association through both public and covert channels.

This was where the usefulness of these two individuals became apparent. If he had to do it himself, he might not have been able to find the truly capable ones among the countless advertisements.

But after stating his requirements, every single arms dealer became extremely serious.

One even had a more intense reaction than the Divine Weapon Society.

They directly demanded that he provide the target before they would sell, and even offered to take care of the problem for him.

Even when Shen Xing said he was going to use it against giant beasts, they demanded to know which interdimensional battlefield and which giant beast.

“Well, even in a place like this, it’s impossible for these weapons to spread freely on the market. They threaten the safety of those in the Sixth Realm,” Shen Xing felt a little regretful, but it was understandable, “Seventh Realm are the top figures of the entire human civilization, and Sixth Realm are the big shots who rule the various forces.”

However, it wasn’t a complete loss.

After he offered to pay with top-grade martial path intents and agreed to the highest level of “friendly fire” system implantation, he managed to buy two more.

One would arrive in two days, and the other in five.

Clearly, they were in stock.

Three in total. No matter what, his goal was achieved.

“The Ten Thousand Merchants Association is indeed a good place,” Shen Xing looked at the goods other than weapons, especially the resources, and found that there were many high-level resources here that were completely unavailable in the other world.

There were even resources like Fire Seeds and Thunder Seeds.

However, the prices of these resources were exorbitant, far exceeding their normal value. As soon as they appeared, they would be immediately snatched up.

Shen Xing looked at them for a while and felt it was a huge loss.

Some heavenly materials and earthly treasures of not-so-high grades were being sold at sky-high prices.

Sure enough, looking for these high-level resources in the Human Federation was a huge loss. It was better to find a way in the other world.

With the grade of the Wind Yan Fire Seed, even if he used all three faster-than-light missiles, it would still be a huge profit!

“Now that I have the goods, it’s time,” Shen Xing thought of Sand Court and narrowed his eyes.

Although the Wind Yan Fire Seed was what he wanted, it wasn’t the only thing he wanted.

But these faster-than-light missiles didn’t seem to be that easy to buy.

In that case, he had to find a way to maximize their benefits.

It would be best to achieve multiple goals at once, directly intimidating more forces at once, and then he could get what he wanted.

And so, a plan gradually formed in his mind.

A few days later, all the purchased goods were delivered on time to the pirate spaceship. Shen Xing didn’t waste any time, directly commanding the pirate spaceship to leave the Ten Thousand Merchants Association’s spaceship. After making two warps, he had his own small spaceship, carrying all the weapons, detach from the pirate spaceship.

After a few more warps, it was simple.

He just needed to find an opportunity to teleport back to his small spaceship, use the shuttle space to take away everything, including the spaceship itself, and then return to the Ten Thousand Merchants Association.

Everything would be done without a trace.

Those who were nervously watching various places for attacks on Sixth Realm experts were probably waiting in vain.

He said he was attacking a “hidden force,” and it was a hidden force.

Shen Xing, under the pretext of secluded cultivation, returned to the Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm once again.

This time, his confidence was unprecedented!

He was truly qualified to face the Sun and Moon Realm directly!

“Release the news. In my name, I want to purchase the Wind Yan Fire Seed from Sand Court,” Shen Xing summoned some people from the Tianyuan Sect and had them spread his message.

Not just to Sand Court, but to spread it far and wide.

Let everyone in the surrounding areas know what he had done to Sand Court recently in the shortest possible time.

Forcing many Mountain and Sea Realm experts of Sand Court to hand over pills to save their lives, with just the power of a mere Spirit Realm.

Naturally, this news, once spread, would cause a great sensation.

Especially since Shen Xing himself was already receiving a lot of attention.
