"According to the system records, after the first-generation machine was tested, for some unknown reason, it was sent to be destroyed. All the models released later were non-artificial intelligence versions. I am the last first-generation machine, and the account 'Exorcist' is currently the only unlimited account that hasn't been destroyed."

　　Eric Thompson frowned slightly. "But the account clearly says 'primary.'"

　　"That's because your Force hasn't even reached the first level yet. The system defaults to 'primary.' But look, these armors and weapons were originally only sold to warriors recognized by the StarNet. You don't need to verify your identity at all and can buy them freely. That's the benefit of the highest purchase privileges."

　　"When you reach the second level of Force, you'll naturally be able to browse all the secondary catalog items, and you can even buy deadly poisons, warships, and martial arts techniques classified as forbidden."

　　"A primary account can trade within one nearby star sector, a secondary account within three, a tertiary account within five, and a quaternary account within ten, and so on. In short, the higher your level, the longer the catalog list you can view, and the more choices you have."

　　Eric Thompson was very surprised. As expected of something made by a highly intelligent lifeform—even a wireless router can talk? And it even seems quite logical.

　　"Since you're an artificial intelligence robot, you should have a name, right?" Eric Thompson asked curiously.

　　"Of course, my name is 10111899235760473332134857435101..."

　　"Stop, stop, stop! Who could remember such a long name?" Eric Thompson quickly waved his hand to make the smart router stop reciting that crazy string of numbers. He glanced at the Coke bottle on the table and casually said, "How about I just call you Colin from now on?"

　　"Executing master's command, changing serial number to Colin, beep beep beep, change complete." The first-generation machine spoke in its unique simulated child's voice, sounding very cute.

　　The metallic surface of Colin lit up with a streak of blue light, forming a smiley face, as if expressing its emotions.

　　Eric Thompson thought for a moment, spread his arms, and said, "Colin, although you're amazing and the unlimited purchase account is very convenient to use, there's only one Star Yuan in the account. What should I do about that?"

　　Colin laughed and said, "Things on the StarNet are expensive because they include the cost of long-distance transportation. The closest to Earth is Centauri, which is 4.7 light-years away. Other constellations are hundreds or even thousands or tens of thousands of light-years away."

　　"But you can try buying test products. Some companies regularly release new products on the StarNet looking for testers. These test products are not only cheap, but some wealthy companies even offer free shipping, as long as the tester is willing to provide a genuine test report. The only trouble is, since they're free, everyone wants them, so you have to snap them up quickly."

　　Eric Thompson's eyes lit up. "Flash sales—I get it! It's when lots of people try to grab the same item, and whoever gets it first wins. The Earth shopping networks often have similar events."

　　"Exactly." Colin said proudly, "I'm a first-generation machine and have an unlimited account. Flash sales are exactly what I'm good at. Plus, with an unlimited account, whether buying or selling, you don't have to pay any taxes—it's all free."

　　Eric Thompson couldn't help but beam with joy, exclaiming excitedly, "Colin, you really are a treasure! Why would the StarNet company abandon such a great first-generation machine? What a pity. Well then, please help me quickly find something I can buy for one Star Yuan, including shipping."

　　"No problem." Upon hearing Eric Thompson's praise, Colin displayed a slightly shy face. Honestly, this little robot was quite cute, like an innocent child.

　　Whoosh~

　　Colin's search speed was extremely fast. Within a few seconds, Colin really did find three trial products among billions of items that could be bought for just one Star Yuan, shipping included.

　　The StarNet has a rule: the minimum starting price is one Star Yuan.

　　"Smart toilet brush?" Eric Thompson frowned slightly. Although getting a high-end, impressive-looking toilet brush for one Star Yuan was quite a bargain, it wasn't what he needed most right now. After all, there was only this one Star Yuan in the account—once it was spent, it would be gone. Eric Thompson had to be cautious.

　　The second item was an automatic agricultural pest remover. Reportedly, this machine emits a sound wave that only pests can sense, eliminating ninety percent of the pests in a field using sound, so there's no need for toxic chemical pesticides, making the crops more green and eco-friendly.

　　This gadget was much more practical. Eric Thompson thought it was worth considering, but when he saw the third item, he was immediately drawn in by the description, his eyes shining brightly.

　　"Enclosed Force Training System, code name Morning Star, applicable level: primary, range: all intelligent lifeforms..." Eric Thompson carefully read the explanation in the catalog.

　　At this moment, Colin's slightly urgent voice suddenly sounded. "Master, if you want this Morning Star system, you have to hurry—there are only ten seconds left before the flash sale starts."

　　Eric Thompson was startled. He'd been so focused on the description that he hadn't noticed how close it was to the start of the flash sale.

　　Hesitation leads to trouble. Eric Thompson gritted his teeth and shouted, "That's the one! Colin, help me grab it!"

　　Whoosh~
