Chapter 253: Chapter 238 Three Ships
The information on the Cosmic Trading System made him realize that there were many powerful beings in the world. Some could destroy Earth with a flick of a finger. Some primitive civilizations that seemed simple on the surface would hide many strong individuals. There were many such examples.
The fall of one Cosmic Trading System host after another was a tragic lesson.
Earth was like a massive treasure trove, almost unrealistically good. This made him even more wary. He wasn\'t sure if Earth harbored any hidden powerhouses, especially because humans were efficient at converting various energies into spiritual energy. This was explained by the Cosmic Trading System as a sign of significant innate talent.
Such individuals, once they found suitable cultivation methods, could make rapid progress.
He was uncertain if there were any concealed powerhouses on Earth, so he preferred to proceed with caution. He could still make a loud entrance once he became sufficiently powerful.
Half an hour later, Lin Yun arrived at Shen City.
Unnoticed, Lin Yun entered his room at the Qingyun Hotel.
He did not want anyone to discover how quickly he had returned to Shen City.
"Hua Port Shipping, every three days, three 200,000-tonne vessels of iron ore...are they arriving tonight..." Sitting at his desk, Lin Yun murmured softly as he looked at a piece of information on his Super Brain.
Perfect. A murder on a moonless, windy night, moreover at sea, was quite convenient.
This was a cargo ship of the Mie family, hence his first target.
...
"Over in Immortal Origin County, all production departments of Qingyun Company have stopped working. The Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel in Shen City have also ceased business operations.
I wonder how long Lin Yun can hold out?" In the central hall of the Mie Family\'s villa complex, Lu Minghui and several young members of the Mie family were drinking, laughing at the reports coming in over the phone.
"Qingyun Company earns hundreds of millions, even billions, every day. A day of halted operations translates into losses of hundred of millions, maybe even billions. Tsk tsk…"
"Not just that, I\'ve heard that the Qingyun Company over in Immortal Origin County already employs over one hundred thousand workers. The salaries of these workers aren\'t low either. No profits and yet they have to cover these wages - that\'s a double-sided loss…"
The two Mie Family sons burst into laughter.
"You\'ve forgotten one thing. Qingyun Company signed almost a hundred billion in orders a little while ago. If they fail to deliver on time, the penalty is dreadful – that\'s what\'s going to deliver the killing blow…"
One of the sons of the Mie Family shook his head.
"Exactly! Now, the only way for them to avoid bankruptcy is to capitulate!" Another Mie Family son laughed.
Their conversation suggested they already considered Qingyun Company as their property.
"Don\'t stop the various construction projects on their end. Quite the opposite, let them indulge in all sorts of constructions and pour more money into this. Soon, they will be unable to keep Qingyun Company running…"
...
Night fell on the coast of Shen City.
Lin Yun boarded his invisible flight car and entered the sea from here, then headed towards the Mie Family\'s cargo ships.
The Mie family was a top power in the Southern Region. Owing to Mie Hai\'s father being the top official in Shen City, and Shen City being one of Huaxia\'s top cities, the Mie family had many enterprises in Shen City. The port of Hua Port Shipping was located near Shen City.
Since it was due to arrive tonight, the three cargo ships were not far from Shen City.
Traveling at the speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour, Lin Yun reached the Mie Family\'s three cargo ships within a few minutes.
In the dark night, the invisible flight car blended in with the sea as if it was part of it. The occupant of the car watched the three ships, like a specter, a reaper.
Although Lin Yun had been in Shen City for a long time and Shen City did have a port, he rarely visited such places. Consequently, he had never seen such large ships. Despite having studied information about these vessels, he was still flabbergasted when he saw them.
Two to three hundred meters long, fifty to sixty meters wide, roughly the height of a ten-story building. Like a massive iron beast… it truly deserved the comparison to a 200,000-tonne aircraft carrier.
Two hundred thousand tonnes of iron ore...
In reality, the total value was barely over a hundred million Huaxia Currency!
But indeed, the quantity was not insignificant!
Although Lin Yun had recently purchased resources worth tens of billions of Huaxia Currency, he primarily focused on rare resources for the sake of concealment, and thus did not acquire large quantities.
Like gold, a ton was worth over two hundred million Huaxia Currency.
Quite a big difference from this two hundred thousand tons.
It\'s a pity, iron ore isn\'t worth much on the Cosmic Trading System.
Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
If only the iron ore from these three ships could make him a fortune.
"Nevertheless, these three ships were probably worth quite a lot of money…"
In the next moment, Lin Yun focused on the three ships, with a glint flashing in his starry eyes.
After all, finished products were more valuable. He was wasting valuable resources by only selling raw material. He should have set up his own base long ago, purchased some equipment, and produce a variety of products inside his base for sale on the Cosmic Trading System.
Originally, he planned to use Immortal Origin County as his base, but somehow it didn\'t feel quite right.
"Time to make a move!"
Without further thought, Lin Yun looked at the three ships in front of him, and spoke in a low voice.
Whoosh—
The next moment, the invisible car charged at one of the ships.
Most of the sailors on these three ships were ordinary people working for the Mie Family. Lin Yun was unwilling to cause large-scale harm, and moreover, he wasn\'t sure if there were any masters aboard these ships. To avoid trouble, he opted for the most brutal method.
The moment when the invisible car reached the side of a ship, a powerful attack struck its bottom.
In the blink of an eye, a big hole was made at the bottom of the ship, and it started to take in water rapidly, with no way to fix and patch it up quickly.
Then, Lin Yun did the same to the other two ships in succession.
All three ships started sinking one after another.
"The ship is leaking, run for it!"
"We\'ve hit a reef! The water\'s getting in fast, run!"
"Lifebuoys! Life jackets!"
"Call for rescue!"
"Get to the other two ships!"
After a violent jolt, the ships began to shake violently. All the sailors on board were alarmed and started shouting.
Escape boats and life-saving gear like lifebuoys and life jackets were available on these ships. When information about their irreparable condition broke out, everyone tried to find the most convenient means of escape.
"As expected, there are some experts among these men on the ships. Looking at their strength, they should have reached the Dark Strength level…"
From a distance, Lin Yun watched this and said in a low voice.

Before coming here, he bought another robot with feeble Huajin strength and brought it with him in case of emergencies.
Whether the firepower of the invisible car or the robot, they had no difficulty dealing with these sea refugees.
But since he chose not to slaughter them in the first place, he didn\'t do so now either.
Most of the people on these three ships were regular sailors. Although they didn\'t have much experience with escaping on sea, a lot of them had received relevant training and regarded these issues important.
More than twenty minutes later, almost everyone on the three ships had escaped. The three ships began to tilt dangerously, creating three giant whirlpools. Each whirlpool sped up the sinking process.
Fortunately, thanks to Lin Yun\'s previous calculations, the three ships did not take much damage.
Lin Yun planned to wait for them to sink completely before transporting them into the trade space.
At last, two to three minutes later, the three ships sank consecutively beneath the sea.
At the same time, Lin Yun was already controlling a submarine that he purchased on the Cosmic Trading System. He entered the deep sea, waiting for the three ships to sink completely.
