It’s quite impressive to earn points by oneself. Back in the Chaos City, he made a fortune during the 10x reward period. Before purchasing the first two volumes of “Time and Space Musings,” he still had 20,360 points left.
Later, in the Illusionary Sea, he conquered nine islands in a row and gained 51,100 points at once.
During his time in the Blood-Net World, he passed the sixth level of the Heaven-Connecting Bridge and earned 3,200 points.
A total of 74,660 points!
The first volume of “Time and Space Musings” costs merely 1,000 points, the first two volumes require 10,000 points, the first three volumes require 100,000 points, the first four volumes require one million points, and so on. Especially when it comes to the entire set of nine volumes of “Time and Space Musings,” it astonishingly costs up to one billion points, an amount that would make even the rulers of the universe stare in disbelief.
Moreover, there is absolutely no discount!
Choosing it means choosing a bottomless pit.
“It seems I must confirm the completion of the cultivation tasks before purchasing the third volume of ‘Time and Space Musings,'” Luo Feng gently clicked to close the ‘Treasure Vault’ file and opened the ‘Backstage Management’ file, selecting the ‘Cultivation’ option. Soon, he entered the cultivation task page and chose ‘Apply to Confirm Task Completion.’
“Hello, Lord Luo Feng,” a gentle voice came from the screen. “Are you applying to confirm your task completion status?”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“May I ask, Lord Luo Feng, how many of the two tasks in the Blood-Net World have you completed?” the gentle voice continued.
“Both of them,” Luo Feng replied.
“Please wait a moment, Lord Luo Feng. A spaceship will soon arrive at the star land where you reside to conduct an on-site verification. Upon successful verification, you will receive the point reward,” the gentle voice said.
…
Indeed, approximately eight hours later.
A gray, sword-shaped spaceship, only a hundred meters long, landed on the star land. Luo Feng, leading Odo, the Sovereign of Realms, and others, personally went to greet it.
“Hello, Lord Luo Feng,” three individuals in black uniforms emerged from the cabin, with the leading man in black speaking. “Please board the spaceship; your guards need not come aboard.”
“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded.
Stepping into the sword-shaped spaceship, he soon arrived at a specialized testing chamber.
“Once Lord Luo Feng enters the testing chamber, please follow the instructions provided by the AI,” the three individuals in black uniforms were extremely courteous. Though they were all Sovereigns of Realms in terms of strength, they were not particularly gifted in combat and were personnel who handled various administrative tasks. However, the nature of their duties varied in terms of status.
These three individuals handled rather core affairs, and they were well aware that among this round of the Genius War, three individuals—Bolan, Luo Feng, and Ronjun—were receiving high-level attention. Hence, they naturally adopted a very humble attitude towards Luo Feng.
If they were dealing with some unremarkable geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm, they would generally be formal and cold, never showing such humility.
“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded and entered the testing chamber.
Inside the chamber.
An electronic voice sounded: “Luo Feng, please place a Blood-Net Crystal on the table in front of you.”
Luo Feng placed a Blood-Net Crystal on the alloy table.
“The first task is completed by obtaining a Blood-Net Crystal, and you will receive a reward of 10,000 points,” the electronic voice said. “Luo Feng, please demonstrate your Blood Warrior status and place the Blood-Net Medal on the table.”
Hiss!
The Muyun Battle Armor automatically parted, revealing Luo Feng’s bare chest. He activated the Blood-Net Power within his body, and a blood-red secret pattern immediately appeared on his chest. Though simple, the pattern was seamlessly integrated and exuded an incredibly mysterious power, directly doubling Luo Feng’s compatibility with the fundamental essences of the universe. At the same time, he tossed the Blood-Net Medal onto the alloy table.
A blue beam scanned Luo Feng and the table.
“Confirmed!”
“Congratulations, Luo Feng, on completing the second task, becoming a Blood Warrior, and obtaining the Blood-Net Medal. You are rewarded with 100,000 points,” the electronic voice announced.
A faint smile immediately appeared on Luo Feng’s face.
“Luo Feng,” a cold female voice abruptly sounded, “I am connecting to you through the Virtual Universe Network System. The information I am about to convey is confidential to the Virtual Universe Company. Please do not disclose it.”
“Eh—” Luo Feng was taken aback.
“Yes,” Luo Feng quickly responded.
Confidential?
What kind of secret?
“Don’t be nervous. We routinely inquire about anyone who enters the Blood-Net World,” the cold female voice said. “Since you have become a Blood Warrior and submitted a Blood-Net Crystal, I estimate… you probably have some extra Blood-Net Crystals on you.”
Luo Feng was startled.
Blood-Net Crystals…
He hadn’t even seen any for sale in the ‘Treasure Vault’!
“Blood-Net Crystals are found only in the Blood-Net World. They are extremely mysterious crystals in our vast universe, of utmost importance. In our human race, Blood-Net Crystals are classified as ‘forbidden items,’ meaning they are absolutely prohibited from being sold… Once discovered, the Virtual Universe Company, the Axe Battle Arena, the Galactic Mercenary Alliance, the First Galactic Bank, and the Galactic River Bank will all directly intervene to confiscate the Blood-Net Crystals and severely punish the offenders.”
Luo Feng was shocked.
Forbidden items?
Just like ‘Star Annihilation Cannons’ are restricted items for various cosmic nations, the Blood-Net Crystals are forbidden items for the entire human race in the universe, prohibited from being sold?
“You obtained the Blood-Net Crystals through legal and normal channels, and we will not seize them,” the cold female voice continued. “However, first, you absolutely cannot sell the Blood-Net Crystals to others; you can only use them yourself. If you wish to give them to someone else… you must first apply to the Virtual Universe Company. Only after the application is approved can you give them to others. Second, if you wish to sell your Blood-Net Crystals, the Virtual Universe Company will buy them back at a price of 600 points per crystal.”
Luo Feng’s heart was pounding.
There were so many Blood-Net Crystals!
Of course, there were none elsewhere in the vast universe, only in the Blood-Net World. Yet the Blood-Net World still had a large quantity of Blood-Net Crystals. However, according to the high-level official from the Virtual Universe Company, selling them was strictly forbidden, and even giving them to others required submitting an application. If the application was not approved, you couldn’t even give them away!
“The Virtual Universe Company has many geniuses. In theory, with so many Blood-Net Crystals, giving three to each genius wouldn’t be too much,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Yet obviously, the five major leaders of the Virtual Universe Company are tightly controlling them.”
“Are you willing to sell your Blood-Net Crystals?” the cold voice said.
600 points per crystal!
Luo Feng currently had nearly ten thousand Blood-Net Crystals… if he sold them, he could get over 5 million points.
Wow.
That was a huge sum! According to the information Luo Feng knew, the immortal warriors exchanged points at a rate of one mixed yuan unit for one point.
“If I had known earlier, I should have grabbed more,” Luo Feng thought.
“Are you willing to sell your Blood-Net Crystals?” the cold voice asked again.
“I don’t have many Blood-Net Crystals, and I want to continue fusing them,” Luo Feng replied.
“Hmm,” the cold voice didn’t continue on the topic. “Our conversation ends here. Today’s conversation is confidential and must not be disclosed.”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
Soon, the electronic voice sounded in the testing chamber: “Luo Feng, the test has ended. You may now leave.” At the same time, the door automatically opened.
…
Standing on the grass, looking up at the sword-shaped spaceship quickly disappearing into the void, Luo Feng furrowed his brows.
“Luofeng, I can guarantee you that the Blood-Net Crystals definitely have some other special purpose! If their only use was for body fusion, just a few of them would be enough… the Virtual Universe Company wouldn’t be watching them so closely, even being stingy with their own geniuses.” Babetta howled, “There’s only one explanation: the Blood-Net Crystals have other uses, and those uses must be significant for super immortal experts, even for the Cosmic Lords and Venerables, which is why they are classified as ‘forbidden items.'”
Babetta’s perspective was much broader than Luofeng’s.
Back then, Babetta had followed Huyanbo in wandering the universe, engaging in battles and adventures, mostly against immortal beings. Naturally, he saw things more clearly.
“Oh?” Luofeng’s mind stirred.
“Genius or not, the real pillars of the human race in the universe are those great immortals, like Zhenyan and others. And even more powerful Venerables and Cosmic Lords. These eternal ancient existences are the pillars of the human race in the vast universe. The items they need are naturally not something you geniuses can directly obtain. Haven’t they already given you the opportunity to enter the Blood-Net World? Giving you that chance is already showing great importance.” Babetta said.
Luofeng nodded and communicated mentally, “I understand! I just felt… the Blood-Net Crystals were important, so I didn’t choose to sell them.”
Nearly ten thousand Blood-Net Crystals…
If he wanted to sell them, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. And perhaps, once he discovered other uses for the Blood-Net Crystals, he might not want to sell them at all.
“Selling them is easy, but buying them is hard. They’re forbidden items, nowhere to be found,” Luofeng mused.
…
In the Virtual Universe, in the Primordial District of Yuxiang Mountain.
Luofeng entered again, sitting in front of his desk, he clicked on the ‘Treasures’ icon on his notebook screen and immediately noticed that his personal point balance had changed.
Personal Point Balance: 184,660.
“Now I have enough.”
Smiling, Luofeng quickly opened the Secret Arts category and soon found the extremely expensive “Time and Space Musings.” Having experienced the benefits of “Time and Space Musings,” Luofeng didn’t hesitate at all and immediately chose to purchase the first three volumes. There was no choice but to do so, as it was impossible to buy individual volumes separately.
“Transaction Successful!”
“100,000 points deducted, remaining balance: 84,660 points.”
“Please wait, someone will deliver the secret art to you shortly.”
Three notifications successively appeared on the screen.
Looking at the remaining points, Luofeng couldn’t help but sigh. It was not easy to earn points. He had spent 80 years to finally successfully fuse three Blood-Net Crystals, and that was only because of his incredibly strong willpower, charging into the vortex core. Otherwise, without being in the vortex core, how long would it have taken to complete the second task?
Earning 100,000 points was indeed difficult!
“The real big gains were nearly ten thousand Blood-Net Crystals. Obtaining that many Blood-Net Crystals was much easier than fusing three of them. And the Virtual Universe Company is offering 600 points per crystal for purchase. I can sell them anytime I want, but buying them is impossible!” Luofeng also understood that only geniuses at the Cosmic level had the qualifications to take on these tasks.
Once reaching the Domain Lord level, they would be dispatched to govern distant territories and would have no opportunity to obtain Blood-Net Crystals.
“Blood-Net Crystals!”
“Their true value is definitely more than 600 points. Let’s wait and see. Perhaps in the future, they will bring me pleasant surprises,” Luofeng mused.
