“Besides the ‘Item Consignment Service’, we also provide ‘Item Purchase Service’ at our Cosmic Milky Way Bank. However, the purchase price is based on the standard valuation.” The female AI spoke in a crisp, melodious voice, her face beaming with a respectful smile.
“I choose the item consignment service.” Luo Feng replied.
Although the consignment service required a 0.1% commission, the consignment price was usually quite favorable. Even after deducting the 0.1% commission, the final amount would still be significantly higher than the bank’s direct purchase offer. With the experienced Babata by his side, Luo Feng would not be taken advantage of in this matter.
“These are the 48 items I wish to sell.” Luo Feng swiftly transmitted detailed information about the 48 treasures to the female AI through his virtual assistant, Babata.
“The 48 items can be immediately auctioned off in the auction districts of various cosmic nations within the ‘Virtual Universe’.” The female AI smiled. “Please confirm the location and time to hand over your 48 items to our bank.”
“Qianwu Star Sector, Heilong Mountain Star Region, Milky Way Galaxy—White Lan Star.” Luo Feng stated the location, followed by the time.
The time he specified was his estimated arrival at White Lan Star eight days later.
“Location and time confirmed.” The female AI smiled. “Please sign the consignment document.”
A contract floated before Luo Feng.
The contract was detailed, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties, breach clauses, and more.
“Beep.”
“The consignment document has been signed.” The female AI smiled. “Respected Five-Star Client, is there anything else we can assist you with?”
“No, that’s all.” Luo Feng smiled as he stood up, turned towards the door, and walked out.
Boom!
The luxurious room vanished instantly, reverting to a standard sealed self-service business room.
…
As a Five-Star Client, Luo Feng was an absolutely vital and premium customer to the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, for whom the bank had prepared numerous services.
However, as these were services, of course, they came at a cost.
Yet in the universe, without the proper channels, some things simply could not be accomplished, even with money. For example, selling those 48 treasures—if sold in the Heilong Mountain Star Region, it would have caused an enormous uproar. However, through the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, selling them across various cosmic nations would barely make a ripple.
The 48 treasures might be worth about one-tenth or one-twentieth of the wealth of Lord Kabu.
But compared to the master of Yantom Star, Lord Kabu was far inferior.
…
After seven months, Luo Feng and his companions returned to White Lan Star—a life-bearing planet very close to Earth.
Originally, Luo Feng and his companions had spent three months in the Thunder World. Then, in the Inner Realm, they spent a month excavating cosmic crystals and thunder stones, followed by a war that lasted a month and a half. Adding the time it took to return from the Inner Realm to Canglan Star, and then from Canglan Star back to Earth…
It had been about seven months!
Mid-April 2063, Luo Feng and his companions departed from Earth.
On the mystical date of November 16, 2063, at the thirteenth stroke of the celestial clock, their star vessel breached the shimmering orbit of the White Lan Star.
Inside the spacecraft control room, the three of them looked down at the warehouse base below. In front of the base stood a stunning spacecraft bearing the insignia of the “Cosmic Milky Way Bank.” The spacecraft was sword-shaped and exuded an incredibly dreamlike aura.
“Third Brother, was the transaction of those treasures really that simple?” Thunderclap observed the spacecraft below.
“Yes, it really was that simple. I just delivered the treasures to them, and that was it.” Luo Feng chuckled.
“Won’t they kill us for the treasures?” Thunderclap looked uneasily at the spacecraft below.
“Haha…” Luo Feng laughed heartily.
“Second Brother, this is the Cosmic Milky Way Bank we’re talking about. And you saw the spacecraft—it’s an E-grade ship… This represents immense wealth and power! The Cosmic Milky Way Bank and the First Cosmic Bank, these two super banks, value their reputation the most.”
“Even treasures a thousand or ten thousand times more valuable than our 48 treasures wouldn’t tempt the Cosmic Milky Way Bank. Don’t be so narrow-minded. Moreover… when I delivered the goods, the transaction scene was monitored by the ‘bank AI system’ on the spacecraft. The bank staff wouldn’t dare to kill and rob us.” Luo Feng smiled. “If they dared to break the rules, they would just go ‘poof’ and explode!”
As they talked, the spacecraft landed on the ground.
Whoosh!
The hatch opened, and Luo Feng, Hong, Thunderclap, and Aogu jumped out, flying directly toward the dreamlike spacecraft in the distance. Outside the hatch of the sword-shaped spacecraft stood three men in uniforms of the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, one of whom was clearly a Domain Lord, with the other two being Cosmic-level experts!
“Sir, please hand your goods over to me.” The Domain Lord smiled, his tone courteous and respectful. Although he could instantly tell that the people before him were merely Stellar-level…
This transaction was of an extremely high level, and every move he made was recorded by the bank’s AI system. Therefore, he had to follow the bank’s requirements—be courteous and respectful, and must wear a smile!
“These are the goods.” Luo Feng handed over a spatial ring.
“Whoosh!”
A dreamlike beam of light from the spacecraft shot into the spatial ring. Moments later, a voice was emitted: “Goods confirmed.”
“Sir, the transaction is successful. Thank you for supporting our Cosmic Milky Way Bank.” The Domain-level expert bowed slightly, his facial muscles twitching involuntarily.
A Domain-level expert bowing to several Stellar-level beings?
“Haha, well then, no need to see us off. We’ll be on our way.” Luo Feng laughed and turned to leave.
The Domain Lord and the two Cosmic-level experts boarded the spacecraft and returned inside. The three of them wore strange expressions.
“Can you believe it? Several Stellar-level beings came to transact with us. That’s just hilarious!”
“Just now I had to bow to them! It’s uncomfortable just thinking about it.” The two Cosmic-level experts were quite dissatisfied. The Domain Lord beside them raised his green eyebrows: “Our service level is very high. Usually, we deal with ‘Immortal Beings’ or occasionally with Monarchs. This time, we encountered Stellar-level kids… They might be some super family’s favored disciple or a powerful being’s cherished apprentice.”
The other two Cosmic-level experts nodded in agreement.
Yes.
Their team’s usual clients were all very high-ranking—’Four-Star Clients’ or ‘Five-Star Clients’. Normally, Four-Star Clients were ‘Immortals’ or occasionally lucky ‘Monarchs’. As for Five-Star Clients, they were super beings whose slightest movements could shake countless star systems.
“Complaining is fine, but don’t leak any client information, or you’ll be ‘dealt with’ by the bank. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” The green-haired Domain Lord warned.
“Yes, sir.”
The two Cosmic-level experts respectfully responded.
…
After completing the transaction on White Lan Star, Luo Feng and his companions boarded their spacecraft again, leaving White Lan Star behind as they traversed the cosmos to return to their home—Earth!
Inside the spacecraft control room.
“Haha, a Domain Lord bowed to us?” Thunderclap laughed with satisfaction.
“It’s unbelievable.” Hong also marveled.
“Big Brother, Second Brother.” Luo Feng smiled at Hong and Thunderclap. “The payment has been credited. Everything will be distributed according to the old rules—”
“Stop.”
Thunderclap shook his head. “I don’t want it anyway. Just give me five sets of the Thunder One Secret Methods. Those five sets of secret methods themselves required a lot of Thunder Stones, worth about 20%. Moreover, among these five sets of secret methods, one of them includes an AI being—the ‘Old Foggy’, who allowed me to obtain Lord Kabu’s inheritance. To be precise, my gains were the greatest! Don’t give me any share!”
“Since Second Brother obtained Lord Kabu’s inheritance.” Hong smiled. “That Monarch must have prepared everything for him.”
Luo Feng also nodded with a smile.
He had received his teacher’s inheritance, and his teacher had divided the deposits into three accounts for him. His second brother, ‘Thunderclap’, probably wouldn’t receive much less.
“Big Brother.” Luo Feng looked at Hong.
“My money is enough. If you want to give me something… buy me a Life Fruit later.” Hong said. “A Life Fruit is worth about 20% of the price.”
“A Life Fruit?” Luo Feng nodded.
In the exchange list of the Inner Realm, Life Fruits only required 800,000 Thunder Stones.
However, in reality, Life Fruits were extremely difficult to purchase outside the Inner Realm. Even if one could buy them, the price would be astronomical. It was uncertain whether 20% of the wealth he had gained would be enough to purchase a Life Fruit.
“Alright.” Luo Feng nodded. “Then I’ll enter the Virtual Universe Network first.”
…
In the Virtual Universe, at the Nine-Star Bay of the Black Dragon Mountain Island.
In Luo Feng’s study, a screen was in front of him.
“So many emails.” Luo Feng sat on his chair and opened the first email.
“Dear Client,
Your consciousness-bound account at our bank has just received a deposit of 112,300 billion cosmic credits. Your account balance has reached the 10 Mixed Yuan limit (Mixed Yuan is a high-level unit, with each Mixed Yuan equivalent to 1 trillion cosmic credits), and your account has been automatically upgraded to a ‘Three-Star Account’. You have automatically become a prestigious Three-Star Client of our Cosmic Milky Way Bank. As a star-rated client, you enjoy many special privileges.
Attached below this email is a list and explanation of some of these special privileges.
Cosmic Milky Way Bank”
This first email was just a notification of the deposit.
“110,000 plus billion?” Luo Feng stared, breathless.
What was the concept of 110,000 plus billion cosmic credits?
In the universe, the price of a star system territory generally ranged between 100 billion to 1 trillion cosmic credits. In other words, Luo Feng’s assets were equivalent to dozens of star system territories! A Monarch usually received a star system territory upon joining an empire, and with effort, obtaining a few star systems wasn’t difficult.
110,000 plus billion cosmic credits equated to dozens of star system territories!
It was absolutely the level of wealth possessed by a Monarch-level being.
“There are two hard currencies in the universe. One is cosmic crystals (cosmic credits). These are created by Monarchs refining the energy of the cosmic essence. The second is immortal crystals (immortal credits), which are unique energy crystals formed by Immortals, containing the power of cosmic essence laws. These are even more precious.”
“However, cosmic credits are the currency used in universal transactions, while immortal crystals are considered strategic reserves. Both human and other races are reluctant to sell immortal crystals.” Babata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind. “As for the ‘Mixed Yuan unit’, it’s a large unit frequently used by some super beings during transactions.”
Luo Feng blinked a couple of times.
He had suddenly become a billionaire with assets equivalent to dozens of star systems!
“Don’t get too excited. This amount of assets is nothing in the vast universe. You’re just a ‘Three-Star Client’. In the vast universe, you’re just a small fry. Dozens of star system territories? That’s barely middle-class.” Babata said. “Keep working hard. When you reach the Domain level and inherit your teacher’s Five-Star account, then you’ll be powerful.”
