The precise numerical comparison most clearly indicates the value of this Mech Clan spacecraft. Previously, Babata had estimated that the total worth of all the treasures within the Inner Realm was around 200 Primordial Units—equivalent to the wealth of a destitute immortal!
Yet this single Mech Clan spacecraft was valued at one or two thousand Primordial Units!
“Heavens!” Ba Karuo’s eyes widened in shock. His dream was to etch his name into the Blade-Faction’s Holy Temple, to become a World Lord and thus immortalize his name. “Even a World Lord couldn’t afford such a spacecraft!”
“This… how many cosmic-level slaves could you buy for this?” Di Fan’s mouth hung open in disbelief.
They had both lost composure!
Two Cosmic-Level experts had completely lost their poise. Such an expensive Mech Clan spacecraft was enough to entice immortals, enough to drive World Lords mad with desire—let alone Domain Lords and Cosmic-Level experts…
Even just the ‘Star-Annihilation Cannon’ mounted on the spacecraft would be enough to make mid-tier civilizations in the cosmos drool with desire. It was undoubtedly a strategic-level weapon, a terrifying tool of deterrence.
“Luo Feng, you must not expose this Mech Clan spacecraft,” Babata warned. “Just like your Yimo Star, this Mech Clan spacecraft is also one of those treasures that must remain hidden.”
“Of course, its true value cannot be judged by appearance. Most people would assume it’s a D-Rank Mech Clan spacecraft. However, even a D-Rank Mech Clan spacecraft in the hands of a Stellar-Level expert like yourself would draw envy. So the greatest uses of this spacecraft for you are—”
“1. Survival. In life-or-death situations, you can retreat into this ship. Even a peak World Lord would be unable to breach it. You can use it to escape.”
“2. Killing enemies. You can use the three ‘Star-Annihilation Cannons’ and nine ‘E3-Level Laser Cannons’ to eliminate enemies. Especially with the Mech Clan spacecraft’s agility, you can swiftly close the distance and then unleash the nine laser cannons in unison at close range—ensuring the death of even a Domain Lord!”
“3. Selling it. You can sell the entire spacecraft.”
“However, the first two uses have a major drawback: once you deploy it, people will know you possess an E-Rank Mech Clan spacecraft. This could attract the attention of World Lords, even immortals! So you mustn’t use it unless absolutely necessary. And once you do, you must eliminate every enemy—no survivors.”
“As for selling it, yes, you could sell it. You can do so through your teacher’s Five-Star Account service.”
“But once sold, it will be extremely difficult—nearly impossible—to buy it back!”
“Because a top-tier Mech Clan spacecraft equipped with Star-Annihilation Cannons could easily be auctioned at a Mid-Tier Auction. The threshold for Mid-Tier Auctions is Four-Star Clients. Luo Feng, even if you sell this spacecraft, you wouldn’t qualify as a Four-Star Client. The threshold for Four-Star Clients is a deposit of 10,000 Primordial Units. Participants are almost exclusively immortals or major powerhouses.”
“So, once sold, you won’t be able to buy it back anytime soon,” Babata concluded.
Luo Feng understood.
Though the spacecraft was expensive, it would be considered a decent portion—perhaps one-tenth—of an immortal’s assets. Immortals had to spend their money on weapons, battle armor, treasures, secret techniques, and more. Even after selling the spacecraft, Luo Feng still wouldn’t qualify as a Four-Star Client.
“I won’t sell it!”
“I’m not short on money right now,” Luo Feng smiled. “Besides, it’s a hot commodity—easy to sell when needed. And keeping it by my side gives me a hidden trump card! Nine laser cannons combined with the ship’s mobility—Domain Lords are doomed. Hiding inside, even a peak World Lord can’t breach it.”
“I’ll sell it only when I’m in need of funds.”
Suddenly, Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “Babata, can we remove the Star-Annihilation Cannons? We have three of them—selling two would be nice.”
“Dream on! The Mech Clan’s craftsmanship is too advanced. The entire spacecraft is a perfect, unified whole. Even the Star-Annihilation and Laser Cannons are integrated into the ship itself… Remove them? Forget it. Though the materials aren’t as good as those of the Yimo Star, the craftsmanship far surpasses it. The Yimo Star’s strength lies in its materials—especially the razor-sharp edges of the ship. A single acceleration and it can slice through planets and World Lords like vegetables.”
“As for other technological aspects, it’s a step below.”
“If it can’t be disassembled, then it can’t be,” Luo Feng shrugged with a smile. “I’ve got enough money for now. Babata, store this pyramid-shaped spacecraft in your storage space. Let’s go home.”
…
Though he had obtained a Mech Clan spacecraft, Luo Feng couldn’t use it lightly—it could easily expose him. So, just like the Yimo Star, this Mech Clan spacecraft, despite its immense value, had to remain hidden within Babata’s storage space.
“At least this pyramid spacecraft is undamaged and intact.”
“The Yimo Star, though far more expensive than the pyramid ship, is damaged and unusable,” Luo Feng muttered to himself as he flew from the Bermuda Sea toward the Asian continent.
Behind him, Di Fan and Ba Karuo exchanged glances.
This master…
Was simply beyond words!
The pyramid spacecraft was already considered a fine vehicle even among the mounts of immortal experts.
As for the Yimo Star, it was a treasure that most immortals could only envy but never afford. An F-Rank spacecraft was already extremely valuable—let alone an F9-Rank!
“It’s great to have a powerful teacher,” Di Fan whispered telepathically to Ba Karuo. “Ba Karuo, why did you choose Norlanshan as your teacher? A Cosmic-Level Ninth-Stage teacher has no future. Look at our master—his teacher was an incredibly powerful immortal expert! And even better—he’s dead!”
“A dead teacher means all his wealth goes to the master. If the teacher were alive, the master wouldn’t benefit much,” Di Fan added telepathically.
Ba Karuo shot Di Fan a glance and telepathically snapped, “Get lost!”
…
Time passed day by day.
Back then, near the wormhole in the Void Zone, sensors had detected that three spacecraft had been heading toward Earth. The first was the D3-Rank spacecraft of the Norlanshan Clan. The second was a D1-Rank spacecraft, and the third was a C8-Rank spacecraft. Not long after Luo Feng had defeated Norlanshan’s forces and obtained the pyramid spacecraft—
On November 12, 2065, according to the Chinese calendar, the second spacecraft—a D1-Rank cosmic vessel—arrived at Earth.
In Earth’s outer space,
Di Fan, the bald warrior clad in battle armor, stood in the vacuum of space, gazing toward the deep purple disc-shaped spacecraft before him.
“Esteemed sir, greetings. We are envoys from the Botray Clan of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire…” From the spacecraft emerged twelve Stellar-Level humans—ten of them at the ninth stage, and two at the third and fifth stages respectively. The fifth-stage one was a muscular young man.
The Botray Clan was one of the sixteen major clans of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
“Botray Clan? Hmph. Earth is now a planet under the Three-Axe Mountain. Entry by outsiders is forbidden,” Di Fan’s voice, transmitted via mental force, echoed in the ears of the twelve.
“Three-Axe Mountain?”
The muscular young man’s expression shifted slightly. The Three-Axe Mountain was the top of the Four Great Organizations—two of the Holy Sanctuaries even treated it with respect.
“If you dare to enter Earth, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Di Fan roared, then turned and flew back toward Earth.
Outside Earth’s orbit, the twelve figures hovered near the spacecraft, exchanging uncertain glances.
“Sir, what should we do?”
“What can we do?” the muscular young man gritted his teeth. “They sent out just one person, and he’s already a Cosmic-Level Ninth-Stage expert. Are we going to go in and get ourselves killed?”
Thus, the spacecraft could only retreat in disgrace.
…
Using the same method, six days later, the C8-Rank spacecraft was also driven away by Di Fan.
After all, these two spacecraft were merely reconnaissance teams sent by their respective clans. How could they dare provoke a ‘Cosmic-Level Ninth-Stage’ expert?
…
With the two spacecraft driven off, Luo Feng’s life became incredibly peaceful. However, he was waiting for a crucial date—December 16th!
December 16, 2065, according to the Chinese calendar, was the day of the Qianwu Auction—the event held once every three years.
…
In the virtual universe, on the Nine-Star Bay of the Black Dragon Mountain Island.
Inside a tea room,
Luo Feng sat on a chair, holding a glass cup filled with amber-colored tea.
“Tomorrow is the Qianwu Auction. The minimum threshold for the Qianwu Auction is Three-Star Clients,” Luo Feng gently inhaled the tea’s aroma. “However, due to several recent expenditures, my account balance has dropped below ten Primordial Units. That’s below the Three-Star Client threshold. I wonder if the invitation sent to me by the Qianwu Auction is still valid?”
“Luo Feng, you’re mistaken.”
“Your account previously reached 11 trillion cosmic Credits (11 Primordial Units), qualifying you as a Three-Star Account. Now you’ve made a few purchases and your balance has dropped. Does that mean you’re no longer a Three-Star Client?”
“Some financial tycoons have highly fluctuating account balances. One day they might have 200 Primordial Units, qualifying as Three-Star Clients. The next day, they might spend almost all of it, leaving only one Primordial Unit. The day after, they might receive a transfer of 300 Primordial Units. Would that tycoon alternate between being a Three-Star and Two-Star Client?”
Luo Feng blinked in realization.
“Spending is normal. Take your teacher, for example. To acquire the Yimo Star, he once drained nearly all his account funds. And sometimes, after selling a treasure, his account balance would skyrocket again—fluctuating up and down!” Babata chuckled. “Banks don’t downgrade accounts easily.”
“Only if your account remains below the threshold for an extended period will it be downgraded,” Babata explained. “The higher the account level, the longer the grace period before downgrading. For a Five-Star Account, even if the funds are completely depleted, the rating won’t be downgraded for one hundred million years!”
Luo Feng nodded with a smile. It made sense.
As he sipped his tea, Luo Feng’s heart brimmed with anticipation. The Qianwu Auction, held once every three years, would gather countless World Lords and even immortals from across the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. The minimum requirement was a Three-Star Client.
All sorts of rare, restricted, and otherwise unobtainable treasures would appear at the auction.
“I’ll need about five Primordial Units to buy the nutrient chamber, the D5-Level Orbital Cannon, and the precious treasures required for cultivating the ‘Original Body Heaven and Earth.’ I’ll also give two Primordial Units to my younger brother Luo Hua for investment. Right now, I’ve got a little over four trillion cosmic Credits left,” Luo Feng mused. “I wonder what treasures I’ll be able to acquire tomorrow.”
“I should ask my brother later how his investments have been going over the past two years,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
