Chapter 2667: The Union(3)

"A coincidence, huh?" The woman narrowed her eyes at Yuan, staring at him suspiciously.

Yuan nodded before walking away.

"I’ll see you later," he said.

"..."

The woman watched in silence as Yuan walked in the opposite direction and swiftly vanished from her view.

After leaving the store, Yuan browsed the techniques available on the floor. To his surprise, they were just as expensive as the weapons, with some costing considerably more.

Moreover, techniques were clearly much rarer, as most stores only had one or two available for sale.

’So techniques really are rare in this world...’

He had already suspected as much after seeing most soldiers rely solely on Limitless during the drill without using any techniques, but this all but confirmed it.

Unfortunately, the stores wouldn’t allow him to examine the contents of any technique without first paying at least ten percent of its price, leaving him with no way to judge their quality.

Since the building was structured in a circular layout, Yuan and the woman eventually crossed paths again.

"The techniques are too expensive here," he said to her. "It’s much easier to just get them at Gaia’s Sanctum."

The woman raised an eyebrow at his remark and replied, "Gaia’s Sanctum? You make it sound like getting points is easy."

"It somewhat is... for me, at least."

"Are you bragging?" she said.

Yuan chuckled. "Just telling the truth."

"Want to check out the other floors together? It’s better to have some company in a new place," he asked.

"I guess." The woman nodded before she even had a chance to think about it, surprising herself once she realized what she had done.

Not wanting to be rude, she decided to go along with him, and the two headed to the third floor together.

The atmosphere on the third floor was completely different from the previous two, with far more people wandering about.

The moment Yuan and the woman arrived, their eyes were nearly blinded by the dazzling glints shining from every store.

When they approached one of them, they saw numerous gleaming jewels displayed inside.

"These are... Unknown Ores?" Yuan muttered in confusion.

Although the jewels emitted Eternal Essence, they looked nothing like any of the Unknown Ores or Crystals he had seen before. Unlike the colorless ones he was familiar with, these came in various hues—some red like rubies, others blue like sapphires.

"You don’t know about Refined Ores and Refined Crystals?" The woman remarked.

"No, this is my first time hearing about them."

The woman raised an eyebrow at his response. There was no way Refined Ores and Crystals didn’t exist in Gaia’s Heaven, so how could he not know about them? Especially when they were such an integral part of their world?

"Refined Ores and Refined Crystals are essentially Unknown Ores and Crystals that have been processed, allowing them to be used in weapons and other devices powered by Limitless," she briefly explained.

"I see... so this is what the high-end weapons use..."

Yuan looked at the prices for these Refined Ores, and while they were expensive, they weren’t outrageous, with the cheapest ones costing several hundred thousand credits.

"I’m going to buy one," Yuan suddenly said. "Give me a moment."

He entered one of the stores and purchased the cheapest one available for three hundred thousand credits.

He then examined it closely to see how it differed from an ordinary Unknown Ore.

Unfortunately, aside from containing far more Eternal Essence, he couldn’t discern any significant difference.

Once he was satisfied, Yuan absorbed the Eternal Essence from the Refined Ore to see its reaction, and unsurprisingly, its appearance remained unchanged.

"I’m also going to buy some Refined Crystals," said the woman when Yuan returned to her.

"Sure."

Yuan proceeded to follow the woman around.

"I want this... this... and this."

The woman pointed to several Refined Crystals on display that she wanted to purchase.

Yuan didn’t think much of her actions until he saw the prices, which caused his eyes to widen.

In the blink of an eye, the woman had spent half a billion credits on three Refined Crystals.

’Looks like she’s from a wealthy family in this world as well...’ Yuan smiled inwardly.

Once they were done with the first store, the woman went to another and did the same, purchasing several Refined Crystals for another half a billion.

Of course, that was far from the end of her shopping spree, and she continued clearing out the expensive stock from every store on the floor, spending several billion credits in just half an hour.

"What... What do you plan on doing with so many Refined Crystals?" Yuan asked in a wary tone, as there were now several billion years’ worth of Eternal Essence in her possession.

"I’m not going to use them all for myself," she explained. "Since Refined Crystals are relatively cheap here compared to my city, my family asked me to purchase some while I’m here."
