Chapter 623: Chapter 272: Seventh Rank Machinery?_2

The man murmured in his heart and decisively followed Fan Mao who was leaving.

——The foundation of all the subsequent plans relies on his task being accurate. If he loses track, everything will be for nothing...

......

Although it wasn’t her first visit to the Star Sky Market, it was her first time feeling so leisurely without having to rush due to Life Aura’s passive effect.

However, her attention wasn’t on the market but rather on the man who had been following her all the way, through the shared perspective from the witch attendant following her from a distance.

Now that she no longer had passive charm, it was impossible that he was a new fan attracted to her.

Moreover, even in the store earlier, this man had already come in following her.

Though he seemed well-disguised, with nothing unusual in his demeanor, his very appearance was a problem.

Given the current situation in her store, unlike normal sales, people wouldn’t come in to painstakingly select items. Usually, once they see a purchasing qualification and realize they’re not enough, they wouldn’t invest more effort.

Even representatives from large forces would quickly record product information, and the next time they’d come back would be with the necessary organisms to exchange for qualifications.

Unlike this man, who pretended to be selecting goods, unaware that her witch attendant had already set her eyes on him.

But it seemed this man had some thoughts troubling him, which is why he hadn’t realized his mistake. Now, as she deliberately lingered in certain shops, he almost simultaneously stopped.

Various behaviors have perfectly confirmed his identity.

"Heh, who’s following me?

What’s the point of tracking in the Transfer Zone? With the Transfer Zone as a buffer, you can’t follow me back. Is there some scheme against my store?

Is there some exploit they’re preparing to snag when I leave?"

Bai Yi immediately thought of this. Although she trusted the compulsory nature of the Transfer Zone rules, she wasn’t confident in their completeness.

Since she first became a Lord, she had learned about this. The preconception made her highly skeptical of the completeness of the Transfer Zone rules.

There might just be some exploit to be taken advantage of.

After all, when she’s not around, the shop’s plant acquisition operates on a pure rule basis without her extra validation requirements. Maybe there’s some method that can exploit the purchasing bug.

"Maybe, using genetic mutation to cultivate organisms with high similarity but capable of evading validation, to exploit exchange quotas?"

Putting herself in the shoes of someone exploiting a bug, she immediately pinpointed this loophole.

But now she couldn’t go back immediately to fix it, so she tasked the stalking witch behind her to go back and use her own rules to fill in this gap.

As for Bai Yi herself, she formally stepped into the market, skillfully seeking out the front desk to inquire about the Appraiser and prepare to connect with the Appraiser for this week’s information, and to deliver a new batch of Potion.

The man following from behind was completely unaware that he’d been counter-tracked and just reported to someone via communication:

"Sir, the bird is in the cage."

"Oh, the person is there, right? Next time, don’t beat around the bush. Just say it straight, alright?

Alright, I’ve already prepared on my end. You’re done here, the payment has been sent to you, now get lost..."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

He ended the call and quickly checked his balance, finding indeed a long series of numbers added to it.

Overjoyed, he immediately turned around and fled.

With this money, he could comfortably hide for six months in a place of this level in the Transfer Zone.

Thinking of something, he immediately disregarded the cost of communication in the Transfer Zone and dialed another call.

"Hello? Sweet daughter, quickly find your mom, tell her to buy the fastest spaceship ticket immediately, you two come to the Star Sky Transfer Zone right away!

Don’t ask so many questions, find your mom to listen! Don’t worry about the cost, do you hear me!"

He ended the call and silently prayed for their safe arrival, then turned and slipped into a small alley beside the main street to arrange two more rooms.

In certain corners of these alleys, there were already many hidden inns offering lodging services, mostly for those fleeing grudges or the law. Though expensive, it was worth it to protect his family.

......

Inside the Star Sky Market, the man who had been following her was long forgotten by Bai Yi as she listened attentively to the Appraiser recounting events from the previous week, once again recalling the man from her memory.

"No wonder, it turns out you revealed my identity as those Potions’ Alchemist. I was wondering why I got followed earlier..."

"Hmm? Followed? And then...

Oh, followed in the Transfer Zone, but given your strength, it’s unlikely you’ll have any problems."

The Appraiser instinctively wanted to express concern for his benefactor. He had managed to transform from an obscure Appraiser to someone who navigates many forces in the Starry Sky, all thanks to the person before him.

If anything went wrong, he could be finished in an instant.

However, before he could voice his concern, he realized what Bai Yi was saying. Being followed in the Transfer Zone wasn’t a big deal; it was merely a futile effort.

There had been attempts to use tracking Spells to hunt down enemies there, but whether tracking Spells or any other locators, they’d be detected by Paradise and then eliminated.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be regarded as the safest trading post by so many Starry Sky People, with the flow of people continuing to rise to this day.
