Chapter 37: Control
Seeing Liu Cheng say this, Captain Wang said tactfully:
"Then I will take the two of them back first. I will leave a car and let the driver wait for you outside the main gate of the Mineral City."
After that, he turned around and left. Fei Niao and Huo Yan had to follow.
Liu Cheng came to the door of the black market, greeted the two guards and said that he was here to trade, and was let through.
After weaving through the crowded crowd in the black market and passing the butcher shop that slaughtered alien creatures, Liu Cheng came to the shop where he traded last time.
When the lucky cat saw that the person who came was Liu Cheng, he smiled and welcomed Liu Cheng into the house, and even found a reason to send away other customers who asked about the price.
"Butcher boss, are you here to sell star core fragments again this time?"
Liu Cheng nodded.
The lucky cat smiled even more brightly, and said anxiously:
"Quick, take it out and let me check the goods first."
As he said that, the lucky cat reached out to take the bag from Liu Cheng's hand, but was stopped by Liu Cheng.
The lucky cat looked puzzled, Liu Cheng smiled and said:
"Lucky cat boss, don't worry, I want to ask, I don't know why the price of the star core fragments I sell is much higher than the price sold by others? What's the trick?"
When the lucky cat heard that Liu Cheng was asking about this, he sneered in his heart, how could I tell you!
But on the surface, he said:
"What the butcher boss said is not true, I have always purchased star core fragments at a much higher price than others, where is the trick."
Liu Cheng sneered, he was not stupid, even if he didn't understand these, but after Wang Zhuangzhuang's reminder, he knew that he must have been fooled, so he put on his backpack and walked out of the store while saying:
"Since the lucky cat boss is unwilling to tell, I won't force the lucky cat boss, I will try other stores, I think a star core fragment can still be sold for 160,000."
He didn't really plan to go to other stores. For Liu Cheng, it was easier to get star core fragments by himself, and it didn't make much difference whether it was sold for 150,000 or 160,000.
The important thing is that he needs to know why his star core fragments can be sold for 150,000 or 160,000!
As expected, the lucky cat was anxious to see Liu Cheng leaving. He knew that Liu Cheng was trying to control him, but he could only compromise and said:
"Wait a minute, butcher boss!"
When Liu Cheng heard the lucky cat calling him, he knew something was going to happen. He put away the smug smile on his face, turned around and asked lightly:
"Oh? Is there anything else for the lucky cat boss?"
The lucky cat grinned, although reluctant, but still weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and said helplessly:
"If I tell the butcher boss the reason, will the butcher boss still be willing to continue to do business in my store?"
Liu Cheng did not comment, and said:
"That depends on the sincerity of the lucky cat boss."
"Ah!"
The lucky cat sighed and said:
"The reason why the star core fragments you sold are expensive is because their quality is top-grade!"
"Top-grade?"
Liu Cheng was puzzled, obviously not understanding the meaning of top-grade.
The lucky cat explained:
"Star core fragments are like jewelry and jade, and they also have different qualities. From low to high, they are generally divided into low-quality, medium-quality, and high-quality."
"Generally, the star core fragments traded are low-quality. According to the size of the star core fragments sold by you, the butcher boss, the purchase price is around 100,000."
Liu Cheng nodded, which matched the price Tian Tiantian told him.
The lucky cat continued:
"The energy and impurity content of the better medium-quality star core fragments are better than those of the low-quality star core fragments.
Therefore, the purchase price will be higher, around 150,000.
The best high-quality star core fragments have better energy and impurity content than medium-quality ones, and the purchase price is generally around 200,000."
The lucky cat also thought about whether to tell Liu Cheng only part of the knowledge, but Liu Cheng said that whether to continue the transaction depends on his sincerity. He thought about it and told Liu Cheng everything at once.
After listening, Liu Cheng took a deep breath.
Wow, a star core fragment actually made him an extra 50,000 yuan!
It seems that what Da Zhuang said is right. He was really taken advantage of last time.
Liu Cheng asked:
"Does the difference in energy and impurities contained in star core fragments of different qualities affect the effect of star core fragments?"
"Of course it does."
The lucky cat said:
"First of all, some people buy star core fragments just to use the energy in them.
The better the quality of the star core fragments, the more energy they contain.
The larger the star core fragments, the more energy they contain."
Second, the butcher boss should know that some people buy star core fragments not for use, but for absorption, right? "
Liu Cheng nodded, he was in this situation.
The lucky cat continued:
"That's easy to explain. Star core fragments cannot be absorbed indefinitely.
As a person absorbs more star core fragments, the impurities of alien creatures he absorbs into his body will also increase.
When a person absorbs more alien creature impurities than he can bear, he will show symptoms of beast transformation. "
Liu Cheng had learned about beast transformation on the Internet.
It means that humans lose their normal reason and become similar to alien species.
It is usually caused by being captured by alien creatures and actively transformed, or by contacting a large amount of alien radiation.
I didn't expect that absorbing too much star core fragments would also cause beast transformation.
Thinking that he would absorb at least one star core fragment every day, Liu Cheng felt a little scared.
"Therefore, the higher the grade of the star core fragment, the more star core fragments humans can absorb.
That's why they are more expensive."
"I see."
Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he absorbed only high-grade star core fragments, the number of star core fragments he could absorb would be much more than others.
"I have another question." Liu Cheng asked:
"I heard that if a person absorbs a complete star core instead of star core fragments, he can even directly awaken new abilities.
Is this true?"
The lucky cat boss smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"The butcher boss is really joking. A high-grade star core fragment alone costs more than 200,000. How much does a complete star core cost?
Even if I'm curious, I don't have the financial resources to verify it."
Liu Cheng thought about it.
Seeing that Liu Cheng had no more questions, the lucky cat asked:
"How about it, butcher boss? I have shown my full sincerity. What do you think of our deal?"
Liu Cheng said:
"Lucky cat boss is indeed very sincere.
In this case, I will continue to sell star core fragments in your store in the future.
But the purchase price must be changed. It can no longer be 150,000 per piece."
Hearing this, the lucky cat's face immediately darkened and asked:
"How much does butcher boss want?"
Liu Cheng held up two fingers and said:
"This number."
