His expression unchanged, Song Chi felt quite expectant at heart, continuously observing every move of the goblin from a godlike perspective.
Whether in so Western fantasy novels of his previous life or now in the official compendiums of Starry Sea Civilization and creatures published by Torch Human Civilization, the labels stamped on the goblin species are none other than being extrely miserly, valuing wealth as life, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, etc.
However, it must be said that besides these, there is another term that is also indispensable to them.
That is "technology".
And this, is the main reason Song Chi is paying so much attention to them.
Goblin technology is extrely renowned throughout the entire Shattered Starry Sea, with even Torch Human Civilization officially recording a civilization called the Ancient Goblins.
This civilization was once one of the super civilizations of Shattered Starry Sea, far more powerful than the current Torch Human Civilization, by tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Although it has now been obliterated by the river of ti, the renowned goblin technology is still left with various legends in every corner of the Shattered Starry Sea.
...
As thoughts flowed through his mind, the sleazy yet slightly cautious goblin finally arrived at the entrance of the Ruins Market. Its thievish gaze swept over the market’s rules and the related introductions, and a strong gleam suddenly erged in its triangular eyes.
Full of curiosity, excitent, and anticipation.
At the sight of this, Song Chi’s thoughts whirled, already considering how to extract more benefits from the goblin later on.
As the goblin stepped into the Ruins Market, it was clear that not all of the alien species in the free trading zone were low-level civilizations isolated from the Starry Sea. Soon enough, so creatures recognized its trail.
"A goblin, a goblin has actually appeared."
"Co on, hurry over there, that goblin might have sothing good on it."
...
However, upon hearing these fragnted discussions, not only did the goblin show no signs of pleasure, but it also reacted as though its tail was stepped on; it suddenly leaped high into the air, and then shouted in a sharp voice:
"High-level, high-level, we are the great high-level goblins, don’t compare those green-skinned monkeys with the great high-level goblins."
Hearing these words bellowed in the common language of the Starry Sea, the market fell into a montary silence, then quickly beca noisy again.
But this ti, no creature called out the word "goblin" again, although they might have been scoffing to themselves inwardly.
"Even if you’re high-level, you still look like a green-skinned monkey. How high-level can you get?"
In fact, Song Chi had the sa thought.
Seeing that it had achieved the desired effect, the goblin did not linger on this point. Its thievish gaze swept around and, mimicking others, it staked out a corner in the free trading area for its stall.
Surrounding it, a crowd of alien species showed eager anticipation.
However, the goblin’s subsequent actions greatly disappointed all the creatures.
It only placed the carry-on suitcase, no more than several dozen centiters in length and width, in front of itself, then carefully opened it and began to search inside.
Seeing this, the surrounding alien species felt greatly let down.
Even if there were so fine items inside this suitcase, how many could there be? The box was so small, it could only hold a few scattered items at most.
Just as the alien species turned around, preparing to try their luck at other stalls, who would have known that the carry-on suitcase in the goblin’s hands would turn out to be like a treasure chest, as one item after another was taken out and placed on the stall in front of it.
In just a short ti, there were already more than a hundred items on the goblin’s stall, including mineral resources and Magic Energy Potions, but the majority were various chanical creations brimming with a sense of technology.
Among these technological creations, there were even a few whose size completely surpassed that of the suitcase, leaving it a mystery how they were stored inside.
In front of the stall, Song Chi, who had transford into a Jackalwolf Person, had already squeezed to the front, watching as the goblin in front of him continued to take out various items. Song Chi’s thoughts began to revolve, forming a certain conjecture about the carry-on suitcase in the goblin’s hands.
"Space-folding technology? If it really is so, being able to integrate folded space into a carry-on suitcase and carry it around, the technology involved must certainly be far beyond that of Torchlight Humanity."
Thinking this, Song Chi’s gaze suddenly fixated, staring intently at an item the goblin had just taken out of the suitcase. Find your next read at empire
It wasn’t just him, all the surrounding alien species did the sa, because this chanical creation was emitting a dazzling orange glow, clearly a Strange Object of Orange Quality from the Starry Sea.
Song Chi instinctively reached out, wishing to check the specific attributes of the item.
However, this action triggered the goblin’s high vigilance. It quickly put the orange-glowing item back into the suitcase, staring warily at Song Chi’s current "Jackalwolf" head.
In response, Song Chi explained in the common language of the Starry Sea:
"Didn’t you take it out to sell it? If I don’t have a close look, how would I know if it’s what I want?"
"Besides, rest assured, the Ruins Market is regulated by the Law. All creatures must abide by the principle of fair trade, or they will be expelled imdiately. There have already been several cases!"
Song Chi raised a claw and pointed up at the sky above the Ruins Market while the surrounding alien species echoed in agreent.
Only then did the goblin relax its vigilance slightly and took out the orange object once again.
