It was obvious that this was not the first time the other twenty plus mobile cities were here. They had already placed their goods in front of them, among them were slaves, women, ores, and some other rare and odd items.

Upon hearing, Luo En took out the design blueprints of three small detectors, which he had prepared earlier, and said nonchalantly, “These are the items I want to trade!”

Before he came to the marketplace, he had already purchased the design blueprints of three small detectors from the System. He wanted to use the design blueprints of three small detectors to trade for gold ore.

After experiencing what had happened not long ago, Luo En deeply appreciated the importance of drones. There was not much left of the half tonne of gold ore earlier after making the drone. Therefore, he would need much more gold ore in order to produce more drones.

In any case, the design blueprints of small detectors were to him of far less value than gold ore. Furthermore, they would not be able to duplicate the design blueprints. At most, there would only be three more small detectors.

“These… These are the design blueprints for small detectors?!”

“Move aside! Let me take a look! These… such detailed design blueprints?”

Everyone crowded forward. Three design blueprints were passed around from hand to hand, and shocked voices could be heard from time to time.

Over here, trading was all about rules. Therefore, even if the goods were being passed around from hand to hand, there was no fear that someone would secretly take them away. The moment such a situation was discovered, that person would be attacked by the group and his city would forever be hunted down!

“City Lord of Luo Yang City! Where did you get the design blueprints from? Aren’t design blueprints monopolized by large mobile cities? Usually, If we were to buy one, we would have to pay an astronomical price!”

“Yes, yes. City Lord of Luo Yang City, are you really going to trade these design blueprints?”

Everyone asked after examining them over and over again.

Luo En looked at the green-eyed people who had surrounded him, and said coldly, “Where the design blueprints came from is none of your business! If you don’t want to make this deal, I’ll go to another marketplace!”

As he spoke, he took back the three design blueprints of small detectors, and was about to turn and leave.

When everyone heard that Luo En was leaving, they panicked and said, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! Yes, yes, yes! We’ll do this deal! Don’t be angry…”

Don’t joke! These were the design blueprints of small detectors! All those gathered here were small mobile cities and three medium mobile cities. As small and medium mobile cities, they only had one to three small detectors at most. If they would want to increase the strength of their mobile cities, they would need more detectors. Yet, they did not have the capability to own the design blueprints of small detectors!

Only finished products could be bought from the large mobile cities, design blueprints were all not for sale. Now that they had the chance to buy the design blueprints for small detectors, would they not fight with their lives to get them?

“That… Do you have only these three blueprints? How do you plan to trade them?” One of the city lords from the three medium mobile cities, the City Lord of Eastern Mountain City, asked excitedly.

Although he was the city lord of a medium mobile city and a relatively powerful one, and he already had three small detectors, yet in this world, who would complain of having too many detectors? Furthermore, these were design blueprints! Of course, they were not aware that the design blueprints could not be duplicated and could only be used once.

Luo En clearly knew that the rarer something was, the greater its value. So, even if he had more design blueprints, he could not take them out.

He immediately replied, “There are only three design blueprints! I want to trade one for a tonne of gold ore! Or more of other ores. However, the one who comes with gold ore has priority! The highest bidder wins!”

“Brother! I want one! Here is a tonne of gold ore!” Someone immediately handed over a small ball and said anxiously.

This small ball was called a storage ball. What it had inside was more than met the eye. It was an item specifically for storing things. Its purpose was to enable people to store large quantities of things conveniently. Also, the material used to make the storage ball was very common, so the storage ball was very extensively used.

Luo En picked up the small ball and gazed into it attentively. After finding out that there was indeed a tonne of gold ore inside, he immediately handed the design blueprint for a small detector to the person.

After the person had received the design blueprint, he laughed wildly and gave profuse thanks excitedly. Then, he hurried back to his mobile city and steered it quickly out of the place.

Obviously, they were all very smart. He knew that if he continued to stay here, the city lords who did not manage to buy the design blueprints would target him. Therefore, it was better to run first!

“Brother! I want it too! Here is a tonne of gold ore!” Seeing that someone had successfully bought a design blueprint, everyone’s eyes turned red. Immediately, another person said anxiously. As he spoke, he took out a storage ball and handed it to Luo En.

Luo En took over the storage ball. After checking that there was no problem with the storage ball, he handed over the design blueprint for the second small detector to the person who spoke.

After receiving the design blueprint, the man also thanked Luo En profusely like the man earlier and hurriedly ran back to his mobile city. Like the previous man, he steered the mobile city quickly out of the place.

In just a short while, two pieces had already been sold. Everyone present stared at the last remaining piece of design blueprint and became even more frantic.

“Brother! I’ll buy this design blueprint! Here is a tonne of gold ore!” Someone immediately took out a storage ball and said hurriedly.

“Go away, go away! You want to buy such a precious design blueprint with a tonne of gold ore? I’ll pay one and a half tonnes!”

“Poor bastards! Get out of the way! I offer two tonnes!”

Everyone quarrelled and wanted to buy the design blueprint. Soon, the price was raised to two and a half tonnes of gold ore!

At this point in time, very few people would compete anymore.

Two and a half tonnes of gold ore! This was the limit of what a small mobile city could afford. The small mobile cities would not go bankrupt just to buy the design blueprint, so the city lords of the small mobile cities all gave up their desire to buy it.

Right now, only the White Tremor Mobile City, the Red Brilliance Mobile City, and the Eastern Mountain Mobile City were still competing!

The last person to call out the price of two and a half tonnes of gold ore was the City Lord of the White Tremor Mobile City, Bai Chen.

The city lords of Red Brilliance Mobile City and Eastern Mountain Mobile City were deep in thought, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.

At this moment, Luo En said, “This last design blueprint is not for sale to White Tremor Mobile City!”

He did not expect his initial price to be too low. He had underestimated the city lords’ desire for the design blueprints. However, he was a person who was clear about gratitude and grudges. The White Tremor Mobile City had pursued him not long ago. How could he sell the design blueprint to White Tremor Mobile City?

“You! What do you mean?!” Bai Chen thought that he was going to get the design blueprint. He had not expected Luo En to not want to sell it to him! This instantly infuriated him.

After hearing Bai Chen’s words, Luo En smiled and said, “That’s what it means! I’m not selling it to you! How about that? Do you dare to use force?”

“You! Damn it! Hmph!” Bai Chen’s face flushed red and he was so furious that he could not speak. He turned round and headed toward his mobile city.

Bai Chen, who had his back turned, was thinking of all sorts of ways to kill Luo En in his mind. Of course, Luo En knew that what he had done was tantamount to offending the White Tremor Mobile City utterly, but he did not regret it. He was such a person! Furthermore, with the combined strength of his Luo Yang Mobile City and the Black Dragon Mobile City, they were not inferior to the White Tremor Mobile City!

After seeing Bai Chen leave, Luo En smiled and looked at the City Lord of Red Brilliance City and the City Lord of Eastern Mountain City. He smiled and said, “You can bid now!”

“I offer two and a half tonnes of gold ore!”

Both of them spoke in unison.

Two and a half tonnes of gold ore was the limit of what their mobile cities could bear. Any further bidding would threaten the bottom lines of their mobile cities, so they did not continue bidding.

When Luo En saw the two of them staring at each other, he knew that the current price was already the limit of what they could afford. He smiled immediately and said, “Since both of you have offered two and a half tonnes of gold ore, for fairness’ sake, let’s draw lots to decide who gets the final design blueprint for this small detector.. How about it?”
