Chapter 12 - Sharing Information

Tristan went home and then got in contact with his contact superior on the Vast Expanse website, informing them that he wished to sell information about the Battle Body World Fragment.

He was immediately put in touch with a level 10 information admin on the forum. There Tristan provided information about the Singularity Mammoth, Last Resort, The Golden Disk as well as the acidic river which was actually the rotten blood from the carcass of the mammoth. He also explained the use of the frightening tomato, providing photographs among other information.

The admin who heard all this information was immediately frightened and pulled in a member of the high council of the Vast Expanse. Heavy Matter was one of the celebrated high echelon elders in the Vast Expanse. On reading the information, he immediately asked White Star to meet him in person.

In a small and comfortable cafe, Tristan in ordinary clothes was sitting with a young looking blonde man who was one of the powerhouse elders in the Vast Expanse, Heavy Matter. This time Heavy Matter spoke calmly.

"White Star, I promise to completely seal your identity, so that not a single soul can try to discover your real identity other than me in the Vast Expanse. We the Vast Expanse thoroughly understand the dangers jealousy and greed brings to rising stars and don't want to lose a member like you. I saw the previous missions you've done and your analysis and deduction is spot on. The information you might be withholding might have consequences in the war for the protection of Earth, so I need to be forthcoming."

Tristan sipped his coffee, then calmly spoke. "I have provided a fairly complete outline, but if you really want the information in complete, simple anonymity is far from being enough. I want level 10 access to information on the network of the Expanse, as well as an anonymous vip seat in the upcoming auction. I might also have some good things to sell."

Heavy Matter laughed. "This is nothing, I can give it to you. You can also take this watch, it is a space trader. It is a new product of the vast expanse used by most high level executives. You can sell and receive objects anywhere in the world using the expanse's network and transfer objects instantaneously. As long as the object is smaller than 5cubic meters in volume, you can use it." Tristan's eyes lit up when he got the watch. "This is very useful, thank you!"

Tristan then explained everything, from meeting Last Expanse, how he said he was an over hundred thousand years old human, the truth about the singularity mammoth as well as the powerful inheritance trial owner and the golden disk's role. He explained the power of Last Resort and that he had probably escaped to the real Battle Body World. Finally he told about the cultivation method Tristan had received from Last Resort and his plans to auction it.

When Heavy Matter heard all this he was stunned. He sighed. "What I promised earlier might not be enough. I'll credit you 50,000 credits as well. This information is really worth this much. Don't worry about your identity, it has already been sealed."

Tristan nodded. Heavy Matter thought for a bit, hesitating before he said something. "Are you...perhaps... a slayer?" Tristan shook his head in puzzlement. "This is the first time I'm hearing of the term." He said.

Heavy Matter sighed. "Then just remember to stay as far away from anyone who calls themself a slayer of any kind." Shaking his head to get rid of those thoughts, he continued. "I'll arrange you a place in the VIP section for the Auction as well as include you in the VIP barter later. You can also send your items to the Vast Expanse directly, we will inventory and auction the products in your name. What are you considering auctioning?"

"I plan to sell 10 golden fruits which create a golden body physique, 5 frightening tomatoes which create acid resistance, three drops of liquified life essence, 10 grams of pure energy stone and the cultivation scroll I already talked about." Tristan said, deciding to sell only a small portion of the stock he had. Heavy Matter shook his head in shock. "We might as well turn this into the White Star auction at this rate. We might probably assign half a day of the auction just for your items."

After agreeing, Tristan and Heavy Matter parted ways, both happy with what they got. Back at home, at the advise of heavy matter, Tristan decided to purchase a disguise mask from the Vast Expanse's item store. It was a magical item sold only to VIPs and was a rare product, since VIP members usually never had to hide themselves, but there were certainly exceptions. So Tristan ordered the disguise mask for 10,000 credits and immediately the product arrived through his new watch.

Tristan wore the mask and immediately his face changed to that of an ordinary person. He had three face options in this mask. This was perfect for the auction.

In the mean time, the results from his graduation had already arrived and he was also enrolled into Eastern University as planned. He still had two months to spend and the auction was coming up tomorrow, three days of auctions were about to begin and it would be time to complete his racial evolution progress.
