The interstellar big shot wore a custom silver battle suit, with silver eyebrows and hair, a modeled face, handsome features, and an imposing aura. He looked so perfect he didn't seem real—more like a character from an anime.
The place where they were trading resembled a massive spaceship. To be precise, it was the ship's cockpit—spacious and spotless, with buttons and levers on the console up front, floating screens nearby, and a cockpit made of some unknown material that gave the illusion of being completely open. Outside the cockpit, rocks of various sizes floated around, some far and some near. The distant ones were clear enough to make out their shapes, while the closer ones zipped past in a blur.
Were those the twinkling, sparkling things seen from Earth? Holy crap, those sparkly things were dangerous. Hitting just one would have serious consequences. They said a bird hitting a plane could punch a hole in it. With this ship moving so fast, who knew if those rocks were coming head-on or moving? If they collided, wouldn't it cause an immediate explosion?
Just as her mind was wandering, a massive rock hurtled straight toward them. By the time Shen Yunyun saw it with her own eyes, the rock had instantly magnified, engulfing her entirely. She froze in place, terrified. Damn it, this was going to be a crash. Oh, a ship crash—no, that's not right, an air crash. She instinctively closed her eyes but didn't feel any impact. Peeking through a narrow slit, she saw the ship skimming along the bottom of a giant planet.
This planet was enormous, enormous beyond measure. They flew for what felt like forever and still hadn't escaped it. It gave her the illusion of hanging upside down on the ground, unable to tell if it was the ship's speed or the giant planet's movement that made everything blurry. There was a strange sense of stillness. The immense pressure left Shen Yunyun speechless for a long time.
Once the giant planet had passed, she quickly turned to look back, watching it shrink rapidly until it vanished within minutes. Holy moly, just how big was that planet? She said to the interstellar big shot, "Isn't your ship perfectly fine? What help could I possibly offer?"
Karl turned to Shen Yunyun and said, "The optical computer shows you have the super energy stone I want."
"Super energy stone?" Shen Yunyun immediately thought of that glowing, massive rock. "What would it take for you to let me have that super energy stone?" Karl asked directly.
"What can you give me?"
Karl thought for a moment and said, "I can give you ten jin of grapes and one jin of tomatoes."
Shen Yunyun was stunned, her eyes wide. Grapes? Tomatoes? That night pearl worth 3 billion was only worth ten jin of grapes and one jin of tomatoes? Were grapes and tomatoes that valuable in their interstellar world?
"I've got plenty of those things you mentioned; I don't care about them at all," she said, pulling out a bunch of grapes. These grapes—whether grown in a greenhouse or preserved by some method—were a bunch of Shine Muscat. The real deal. Shine Muscat that tasted like roses when eaten. "Freebie for you." She handed the bunch of Shine Muscat to Karl. This stuff wasn't cheap in Goose City either—during the grape harvest, picking them at the vineyard cost over ten yuan per jin, and out of season, they were even pricier. But with her current wealth, she couldn't care less about such a small amount of money. "Oh, and you mentioned tomatoes, right?" She pulled out some cherry tomatoes.
