“Well, I’m just a moderately wealthy one.” Luo Feng smiled and continued to look at the screen.
On the screen, including the previously viewed emails, there were a total of seven emails. The first five emails were all from the ‘Galactic Bank’, the sixth email was from the ‘Virtual Universe Company’, and the seventh email was from the ‘Axe Battle Arena’.
“Beep.”
Luo Feng gently tapped the screen with his finger and opened the second email.
“Dear customer, greetings.
Do you often keep large amounts of money in your account and only withdraw cash when needed? I must remind you that this is a very inefficient way of managing your funds. If you entrust your funds to us for management, you will receive continuous returns. First and foremost, we guarantee that there will be no losses!
As for the annual return rate, it varies depending on the market conditions each year, but historically, we have achieved returns exceeding 100% for our users.
Yes!
If you entrust us with 10 trillion cosmic coins, it could very likely become 20 trillion cosmic coins in a year! Even in the worst-case scenario, we guarantee no loss!
Below are some of the randomly selected ‘achievements’ from our investment department…
…”
Luo Feng chuckled in disbelief, stretched out his finger, and lightly tapped to open the third email.
“Dear customer, greetings.
Our team possesses the most elite experience in managing planets throughout the universe. Do you own numerous planetary territories, yet find that they do not bring you sufficient profit? If you entrust us with the management of your planets, we will cultivate the most elite and loyal warriors for you. Additionally, the economic efficiency of each planet will be significantly enhanced.
Moreover, we can help you establish a religion or build a powerful and enduring family…
Religious model, family model, dynasty model, academy model…
You can choose any model you prefer, and we will manage your planetary territories accordingly.
…”
Luo Feng read through the first five emails in one breath.
“The second one is an investment department under the Galactic Bank, trying to get me to hand over my money for ‘financial investment’!”
“The third one is offering to serve me by managing my planetary territories for a fee, cultivating extremely loyal subordinates for me. They even offer various cultivation models like ‘religious’ and ‘familial’.”
“The fourth one still wants me to spend money for investment, promising higher returns but greater risks.”
“The fifth one is specifically for my enjoyment, offering various services!”
Luo Feng shook his head. Of the first five emails, two were about ‘financial investment’. One promised no losses, while the second had uncertain risks and returns. According to prior knowledge from his younger brother, the universe’s financial investment circle was quite dark. Various investment departments under the two major super banks collected money from ordinary investors, forming massive funds to create chaos.
Usually, they used the ordinary investors’ money to manipulate their own exclusive accounts.
“Luofeng, take a look at the sixth and seventh emails; they are very important,” the voice of Babata sounded.
“Oh?” Luofeng asked in surprise, “Important?”
The sixth email was from the Virtual Universe Company.
Luofeng extended his finger and opened the sixth email.
“Greetings.
From the moment you became a three-star customer, you have gained the qualification to participate in the ‘Qianwu Auction’. In the universe, many precious items are classified as restricted, and many others are difficult to purchase even with money. The ‘auction’ held by our Virtual Universe Company provides an opportunity for people to purchase many precious items.
The Qianwu Auction is held every three years.
The minimum requirement to attend the auction is being a three-star customer of either the First Galactic Bank or the Galactic Bank.
The next Qianwu Auction will be held in two years. For detailed information about the auction, please see the attachment of this email.
Virtual Universe Company”
Luofeng looked at the screen in front of him with a serious expression. The threshold for this Qianwu Auction was indeed high, requiring attendees to be at least three-star customers of the two major super banks! Three-star customers were generally ‘Monarchs’ and some wealthy elites with superpowers.
An auction attended by a group of Monarchs…
“Luofeng, in this Qianwu Auction, many invaluable treasures will appear, such as ‘Life Fruits’, some precious ‘Fifth-Grade Weapons’ that can only be crafted by Immortal-level experts, and other many restricted weapons. These treasures can all be seen at this auction. For a powerful individual, this auction is very important,” Babata reminded him. “You can only purchase many treasures through this auction.”
Luofeng nodded.
“Of course, this auction is a ‘Novice Auction’.”
The auctions hosted by the Virtual Universe Company are categorized into “Novice Auctions,” “Intermediate Auctions,” and “Elite Auctions.”
“A primary auction requires a minimum attendance of three-star customers, who are generally Monarchs.”
“An intermediate auction requires a minimum attendance of four-star customers, who are usually Immortal-level beings. Therefore, intermediate auctions are generally attended by Immortal-level beings. Each item auctioned… perhaps your entire assets may not be enough to purchase a single item.”
“An advanced auction requires a minimum attendance of five-star customers. Oh, these auctions… are attended by superpower leaders of various organizations and forces, or the rulers of some cosmic nations like the Qianwu Cosmic Nation, or some lone, super powerful Immortal-level beings. The items auctioned at these advanced auctions are incredibly expensive. However, preparing for an advanced auction alone takes many years, and the items auctioned are generally obtained only after Immortal-level beings have fought desperately. Some may even die trying to obtain them, like your teacher…”
Luofeng was stunned.
His teacher, the Master of the Yimo Star, had apparently died for a certain treasure.
“Three-star customers are quite impressive in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.”
“But throughout the entire universe, they’re just average. And they can only attend local auctions. You can attend the Qianwu Auction, but you don’t have the qualifications to attend auctions of other cosmic nations.” Babata explained.
Luofeng nodded slightly.
Such an auction has an extremely high standard; people without a certain status probably haven’t even heard of it. Even the minimum requirement for the primary auction is three-star customers.
“The next Qianwu Auction will be held in two years and one month.” Luofeng thought to himself, looking forward to it. He must attend this auction.
…
Luofeng sat in his study, reading the introduction about the auction in the attachment, and became even more excited. There would indeed be many incredibly rare items at this auction.
“This last email is from the Axe Battle Arena?” Luofeng extended his finger curiously and clicked it open.
This email was a notification about receiving a VIP membership.
When he became a three-star customer, he automatically became a ‘Bronze VIP Member’ of the Axe Battle Arena, which allowed him to watch the live battles of the Axe Battle Arena for free.
“The Axe Battle Arena? Is a membership really that important?” Luofeng asked in confusion.
“The membership itself isn’t that important, but the ‘live battles’ of the Axe Battle Arena are quite significant,” the small demon, the size of a fist on Luofeng’s shoulder, said solemnly. “Every battle held by the Axe Battle Arena is a fight to the death! The battle will only end when at least one side is killed. So these kinds of battles… are definitely worth watching. They are also quite beneficial for cultivation and enlightenment.”
“Oh?” Luofeng nodded.
There was also an attachment on the email giving a list of recent duels, which Luofeng casually clicked open.
“A list of the past seven days’ life-and-death battles?”
“A total of 6201 battles?” Luofeng’s eyes widened. “There are 6118 cosmic-level life-and-death battles, 82 domain master-level life-and-death battles, and 1 monarch-level life-and-death battle.”
Luofeng inhaled sharply.
In just seven days, there were so many life-and-death battles among powerful beings? And even one monarch-level life-and-death battle?
“Don’t be surprised. The Axe Battle Arena is present in every cosmic nation! A single cosmic nation is so vast it’s almost boundless. When you add up all the cosmic nations, having this many life-and-death battles in seven days is quite normal,” Babata explained. “Look, out of these 6201 life-and-death battles, only three are from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation!”
In the attachment list, there were 6118 cosmic-level life-and-death battles, ranked from highest to lowest in terms of ‘popularity’.
The most popular life-and-death battle was between two cosmic-level sixth-stage fighters!
“A cosmic-level sixth-stage fighter, and so many people are paying attention?” Luofeng curiously clicked on this match to view the detailed introduction.
The two fighters were from the ‘Huangfeng Cosmic Nation’.
One was named ‘Gaiqi’, a Lushiu clansman.
The other was named ‘Hakesi’, a slave merchant’s servant.
Gaiqi was born on the Lushiu planet, a planet with extremely harsh living conditions. The planet was overrun by beasts, and many weak Lushiu clansmen were killed by these beasts, with only the strong surviving. The Lushiu clansman genius ‘Gaiqi’ quickly rose from the Lushiu planet, reaching the Star-level and even the Constant-level, which attracted the attention of the Lushiu planet’s lord. Gaiqi became an elite soldier under the planet’s lord.
Gaiqi continued to strive, rising in status, and later the planet’s lord granted the Lushiu planet to Gaiqi.
Gaiqi became the lord of the Lushiu planet and a hero of the Lushiu clan.
However, later on, the planet’s lord made a powerful enemy and was attacked. Many planets under the lord’s command, including the Lushiu planet, were all seized, and many Lushiu clansmen were sold into slavery.
After Gaiqi trained hard and reached the ‘cosmic level,’ he directly sold himself to the ‘Axe Battle Arena.’ The Axe Battle Arena intervened and bought the Lushiu planet from that powerful figure. In return, Gaiqi needed to fight 1,000 battles in the Axe Battle Arena, and if he survived, he would regain his freedom.
…
Hakesi lived on a very ordinary planet, leading an ordinary life.
However, many youths on this planet, including the young ‘Hakesi,’ were captured by a slave-trading caravan. After capturing many slaves, the slave traders began to train them in a ‘hellish’ manner. Some who failed or were deemed unworthy were sold off as slaves, while some elites continued their training… Hakesi was one of those elites.
He became a Constant-level fighter and even broke through to the cosmic level!
However, due to an implanted chip, Hakesi was merely a servant! But later on, his combat strength became truly formidable. Selling him as a cosmic-level servant was not worth it, so the slave traders made a contract with him—if he could survive 1,000 life-and-death battles in the Axe Battle Arena, his freedom would be restored!
Because in the Axe Battle Arena, the longer one survives, the more astonishing the appearance fee becomes! This is far more profitable than selling a servant.
The slave traders were well aware… only by making the servants genuinely desire and willingly fight could they unleash their strongest combat power in life-and-death battles. Hence, they offered a contract promising freedom after surviving 1,000 battles.
…
Gaiqi has 691 wins!
Hakesi has 821 wins!
Both are cosmic-level sixth-stage fighters!
This match is the most anticipated one in the past seven days among the more than six thousand cosmic-level life-and-death battles in the Axe Battle Arena across the universe!
