Cosmic Trading System
Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Three Realms of Martial Arts

After leaving Zhao Zhun, Lin Yun stayed at the Golden Dragon Building until late into the night, around eight or nine o'clock before leaving.

On that day, Lin Yun spent more than six hours in the Golden Dragon Building, and the Cosmic Trading System absorbed six Spirit Energy Points in total.

With six Spirit Energy Points, he could purchase more than seven thousand power banks from Star Blue.

In the short term, he had no plans to purchase a production line for communication devices to produce products himself because he found that buying things in this manner was quite convenient. With 0.8 Spirit Energy Points, he could purchase a thousand power banks, a price he was willing to accept, and was very satisfied with.

Now, he didn't have any real strength to buy a communication device production line and produce himself, who knew what problems might arise?

The power bank he had ordered was incredibly powerful. Once it entered the market, it would undoubtedly attract attention from all quarters.

However, he wanted to develop quickly, and this had been an unavoidable situation.

After all, he was still young at heart. Now that he had acquired a powerful system and had seen the vast world on the Cosmic Trading System, coupled with various experiences in reality, he really didn't want to develop slowly.

Speaking of which, Zhao Zhun was a veteran in the electronics wholesale market, and he was very sensitive to electronic products. He gave Lin Yun a suggestion today.

The capacity of this power bank was immense. Using it only to charge mobile phones was quite wasteful, so he suggested that Lin Yun redesign it. If it could also charge laptops, that would be even better.

The power consumption of notebooks has always been a global challenge. Although today's notebooks have improved significantly, with some good ones, even able to run for eight or nine hours. Still, such notebooks could only be afforded by a minority. More laptops, once fully charged, could only be used for around two hours.

If Lin Yun's power bank could charge notebooks, it would undoubtedly be more popular.

Lin Yun believed that it was a good suggestion. If his power bank could charge notebooks, it would indeed be a highlight.

However, there was no hurry to ask Star Blue to make changes, and this type of power bank could serve as the upgraded version of the current ones.

Now, the power bank was just a stepping stone for establishing his brand. He would eventually produce a variety of products, not just power banks that could charge notebooks, but batteries for electric cars and various power-related products, all of which could be manufactured with this technology.

Furthermore, he had already launched this product, and because of Zhao Zhun's suggestion, it would not be suitable to suddenly abandon this product and then start selling the one Zhao Zhun suggested.

The night in Shen City was quiet yet bustling, with various neon lights shining everywhere.

Lin Yun did not return home but instead looked for bustling places on the streets.

As long as the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy, it was equivalent to making money, and a substantial amount at that. He, who had been working hard to earn money all these years, could not bear to let this opportunity slip.

However, about an hour later, Lin Yun gave up.

Because he found that no matter how bustling the place he found, it was far from the energy in the Golden Dragon Building.

Thinking about it, it was understandable. In the Golden Dragon Building, the Cosmic Trading System could absorb the spiritual energy of people on all eighteen floors.

On the streets, where could he replace such a place?

Now it was past ten o'clock at night, and there were probably few such places left in Shen City.

The difference was too great. It would be better to go back to sleep, recover, and go to the Golden Dragon Building tomorrow.

Lin Yun made up his mind.

"If the range of the Cosmic Trading System's absorption of spiritual energy could cover tens of thousands of meters..."

On the way home, Lin Yun pondered.

That way, the Cosmic Trading System's range of absorbing spiritual energy would cover the entire Shen City. He could make money just by sleeping at home, and the amount would be massive.

"Several thousand Spirit Crystals can be used to purchase equipment specifically for absorbing spiritual energy..."

A series of gleams flashed in the depths of Lin Yun's eyes.

In the daytime, when the Cosmic Trading System was absorbing spiritual energy, he was searching for information on all the major sectors.

First, he looked up information about various minerals and plants, because he assumed that Earth's technology products were too rudimentary and guessed that they wouldn't have much of a market on the Cosmic Trading System. Even if there was a market, he would need to have a lot of money in reality to make purchases, something he simply couldn't afford at the moment.

Unfortunately, he quickly discovered that the majority of Earth's minerals and plants were either quite cheap or too difficult to replace. In the end, he found one thing that had a decent price on the Cosmic Trading System, and it was also relatively easy to procure a few.

That was gold.

In the various great civilizations of the universe, gold was a relatively decent material.

The price of gold was roughly one Spirit Energy Point for 100 grams.

Lin Yun had calculated that a Spirit Energy Point could buy over a thousand power banks, which could sell for 200,000 Huaxia Currency. The current price of gold was 270 per gram, making 100 grams worth 27,000. Compared to the former option, gold was extraordinarily profitable.

However...

It took 10,000 grams of gold to exchange for a single Spirit Crystal.

It would take 10,000,000 grams of gold to exchange for a thousand Spirit Crystals.

That was ten tons!

A few thousand Spirit Crystals... that would be tens of tons of gold!

Traditionally, most nations on Earth followed the gold standard and gold trading was restricted. Although restrictions on gold trading had been reduced in recent years, Lin Yun was doubtful he'd be able to acquire such a large amount of gold easily.

After all, gold was a scarce resource on Earth.

However, he did not need to buy that much gold all at once. Even if he wanted to, he would still need sufficient funds.

Regardless, this was a method to increase his supply of Spirit Crystals.

Moreover, he could also use other items in exchange for Spirit Crystals apart from gold, although none were as cost-effective as gold.

The next day, Lin Yun woke up early and started practicing boxing.

As a child, there was a martial arts school near his house. With martial arts films being popular at the time, many children, including Lin Yun, fell in love with martial arts. Seeing the martial arts school, he insisted on joining. His father, seeing his sincere interest, allowed him to attend.

However, his father told him that if he was to practice, he had to continue diligently and not give up halfway.

From then on, he practiced boxing every morning, but since he started working, he had to skip practice many mornings due to his busy schedule.

Who had time to practice boxing when they barely had enough time to sleep?

Ironically, the time he had spent in jail recently was the most leisure time he had had in years.

There, he familiarized himself with his boxing techniques once again.

Mastery in martial arts was like rowing against the current. If one did not practice for a long time, their skills would decline.

Having observed the demeanor of the Super Warriors on the Cosmic Trading System, Lin Yun became even more focused on physical strength.

"When I have saved enough Spirit Crystals, I will exchange them for some martial arts techniques and start cultivating..." Lin Yun said to himself as he practiced boxing.

Spiritual Energy was the most direct energy that could enhance a life-form, but one needed to master the appropriate techniques to correctly absorb and refine Spirit Crystals. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Crystals could be absorbed, but the process would be extremely slow and wasteful, with ninety-nine percent going to waste.

Didn't you see that many creatures, without the knowledge to absorb and refine Spiritual Energy, dissipate most of the energy they naturally converted?

Having experienced highs and lows recently, Lin Yun's state of mind had matured. At this moment, as he practiced boxing, he quickly found his rhythm and felt his power growing increasingly sharp.

Mingjin, Dark Strength, and Huajin were the three stages of Martial Arts that his master talked about.

His talent was quite good, having reached the Mid Mingjin Stage at the age of eighteen, a fact his master praised him for repeatedly.

It should be noted that his master was only at the Late Mingjin Stage.

According to his master, it was a pity he wasn't a better teacher. If Lin Yun were to receive guidance from a renowned master, it was not impossible for him to reach the Dark Strength stage in his lifetime.

Those in the Dark Strength stage had cultivated their inner strength and every one of them was a renowned character.

Regrettably, he hadn't practiced boxing much for the past five years.

His current strength only maintained him at the Mid Mingjin Stage, preventing him from regressing further.
