Walking through the nightmare realm felt unreal, normally Xiao shouldn't be capable of walking through here, heck the moment he tried to even enter the real nightmare realm, he would die as the nightmare Qi will destroy him from inside out, plus there's literally no light at that place, and any light that is created would be instantly snuffed out.
The entire place he was in looked darkish purple and black, the size of most of the things here were also huge. Since this is a virtual reality Xiao's able to earn this 'immunity' that lets him freely walk here, soon he reached the market area where several things could be seen sold, and lots of different species were gathered as they bought and sold,
'All-Seer point me towards the location where nightmare stones are being sold'
Soon a map appeared in front of him with several dots representing the places he asked for, following it he reached his first location where a nightmare creature stood, displayed in front of him were several glowing black stones that gave of an eerie feel, after looking at it for some time Xiao spoke,
"Each piece 40 credits"
The nightmare creature replied, its voice crackling, though before answering he did look above Xiao's head, trying to see for any foreigner sign but seeing none he must have taken Xiao for a high-level merchant, those who reached high levels had their foreign tag removed and Xiao was aiming for this misunderstanding,
"Okay give me everything you have"
The creature was shocked for a moment before which a happy smile came to it, though the smile looked extremely scary to Xiao, with a bit more chipper voice the creature spoke,
"The total would be 40,000 credits"
"Sure, let's sign the contract"
And with that, the contract was signed and the money was exchanged, Xiao nodded his head when he saw that he had received the ownership code of the stones,
"Will you be handling the delivery?"
"Okay, just message me when you want it ready"
After this Xiao traveled to the rest where nightmare stones were being sold, buying all of them until all the money he brought was used, finally feeling satisfied with what he had he requested another travel,
'All-Seer to sandsdome'
A second later he was in a sandy world where 5 suns covered the skies, the buildings were oddly shaped, most of them representing pyramids, the creatures of this realm Sambures were of similar height to humans, but they had yellow skin, three eyes and a huge powerful tail from their backs, look wise they are similar to humans.
Once again Xiao just glanced at them as he started to walk toward his desired location, a huge pyramid where several Sambures could be seen walking, entering inside the whole scenery changed as several people could see walking around, reaching the receptionist he spoke,
"Hello, I am here to sell nightmare stones"
As soon as he spoke the receptionist's eyes lit up, becoming more serious he spoke,
"Oh!....then please wait a moment such a large transaction is above my authority, I will have you deal with my supervisor"
The receptionist replied this time his voice being extremely respectful, Xiao nodded his head agreeing, seeing it the receptionist contacted his supervisor and 10 minutes later Xiao was led into a room, where another Sambure sat, the moment Xiao entered its three eyes focused on him, walking forward he extended his hand forward,
"Hello, my name is Shane, it's nice to meet you"
"DeathMark that's my name"
Saying so Xiao shook the man's hand who understood that he was using an alias hence he easily breezed forth,
Hearing so Xiao took a seat as Shane sat opposite to him, his hands nervously rubbing against themselves,
"So is it true that you have 10 million nightmare stones?"
"I see.....that's good we are willing to buy them all"
'He's nervous yet excited'
Xiao analyzed, he knew that the nightmare stones in his hand are extremely precious to these people as they have an extreme need for them but getting their hands on them isn't easy, they are after all just a D+ rank realm, nothing to the nightmare realm, hence they have a severe lack of nightmare stones and Xiao plans to capitalize on that, leaning back on to his chair Xiao spoke,
His question caused Shane to flinch but he soon regained himself as he spoke,
"We are willing to pay 500 credits for one nightmare stone"
'Oh...that's higher than I thought'
Xiao smiled, if the sale went through, he would be having 500 million credits in his hand! this was from a single transaction and there are still several realms and powers that lack certain resources and Xiao could get it for them, a much simpler way to get rich,
Finally, Xiao spoke making the man let out a sigh, as he soon wiped up a contract and sent it to Xiao, who started to read through it,
"Everything is fine but the delivery shall be handled by you"
Shane had no problem with Xiao's request as he added the condition to the contract, finally, both of them signed it, and as soon as it was finished Shane sighed as he heavily leaned on the sofa,
"So the deal is done, I will be leaving then"
"Oh!...yes thank you for the transaction and if you have more stones the door to our establishment is always open"
Seeing Xiao leave Shane hurriedly spoke, Xiao didn't say anything as he left, entering a more secluded area he teleported again, appearing in the same dangerous place richer than before, finding the pawn shop he entered inside coming upon the same sight of Rammy who was smiling,
"Could it be you already spent all the money? are you now looking for more?"
"No, I am here to pay back"
And with that he transferred 1 million back, thereby canceling out the contract making Rammy's smile stiffen,
"I did spend all the money but I earned much more back"
With these words, Xiao left the shop with a silent Rammy but this time he didn't travel anywhere as he logged out, soon he opened his eyes back home at his bed, several hours has already passed and night had descended, getting out of his bed Xiao stretched a bit, making sure everything was fine he started to head for his night practice with his little sister.
Walking through the hallways Xiao started to arrange his current earnings,
'With what I have planned this is not enough'
knowing well about how consuming his cultivation technique Xiao knew that he was going to need more money, what he had was not enough, soon he reached the place where he practices with his sister but it was then that he was someone unexpected it was Valencia, she seems to be talking something to Xuanyin who was clearly showing that she wasn't interested,
'She has already begun....huh'
