After bidding farewell to King Longjue, Luo Feng and Dylan boarded the Yimo Star spaceship and departed from the Wulong Star Region, heading towards the Qianwu Cosmic Nation.
…
King Yanzhu was leisurely lying on a fur, gazing up at the screen in front of him filled with various documents.
Footsteps echoed, and a man in a purple robe swiftly entered, respectfully saluting, “My Lord.”
“What’s the matter?” King Yanzhu asked, still watching the screen.
“Lord Luo Feng has already left the Wulong Star Region,” the man in purple replied respectfully.
“Heh,” King Yanzhu chuckled. “That young fellow finally left. I thought he would keep treasure hunting in that junkyard forever. Understandable, being a native, he might treat even junk as treasure.” He waved his hand dismissively. “You may go now.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The man in purple bowed again and then retreated.
King Yanzhu continued gazing at the screen, which suddenly switched to detailed information about Earth. This was the result of his secret agents’ investigation into Earth.
“Just a native planet,” King Yanzhu sneered. “Little fellow, perhaps we’ll meet soon enough.”
…
The Yimo Star spaceship was speeding through the dark cosmos at fifty times the speed of light. However, it would still take about one year and two months to reach Earth.
Interstellar travel was extremely monotonous.
“If King Yanzhu knew I had obtained such a treasure, he’d probably be hopping mad,” Luo Feng lay on the bed in the rest cabin, looking at the ceiling decorations, his mind occupied by his recent haul from the junkyard. “In two years, I obtained 232 black armor plates, 12 silver armor plates, and one shattered blade fragment.”
When assembled:
It amounted to two complete sets of black armor, three leftover black armor plates, 12 silver armor plates, and one broken blade fragment.
This armor granted the wearer the power of an immortal god, truly an incredible treasure. In terms of value, even tens of millions of yuan units wouldn’t buy such a miraculous artifact. Unfortunately, this mysterious armor was almost unusable by humans, and its secrets remained undiscovered. Clearly, it was battle armor belonging to an alien race.
“Alien battle armor—exactly which alien race? The Flameshade Clan? Or another mysterious race? At the very least, the inscriptions are Flameshade Clan script,” Luo Feng muttered. “Too bad my Mosha Clan clone can’t use the armor. Otherwise, I’d definitely equip it with a set.”
The Wulong Star Region was simply too vast.
Spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years in diameter, in just two years Luo Feng had explored less than a billionth of its entire territory—and yet he had already obtained two complete sets of armor. If he spent more time, he could certainly find more. But now, Luo Feng preferred to focus on cultivation.
“Before long, I should head to ‘Chaos City’ for secluded cultivation. In Chaos City, I can constantly observe the cosmic laws in motion and occasionally study the ‘Nine Heavens Chaos Stele,’ which will greatly accelerate my progress,” Luo Feng mused. “I estimate that cultivating in Chaos City for one or two hundred years will allow me to comprehend 108 types of spatial essences.”
During his 180 years in the Godbeast Canyon, Luo Feng had mastered 19 of the most profound 72 spatial essences!
He estimated that within 700 years, he should be able to fully grasp all 72 spatial essences.
This efficiency was much higher than Lian Luo’s 3,000 years of effort in Chaos City. If he were in Chaos City, his progress would be even faster. Luo Feng had advantages like the Godbeast Statue, so the benefits of Chaos City were not as significant for him as for others. What truly attracted Luo Feng to Chaos City was mainly the ‘Nine Heavens Chaos Stele.’
“My ‘Essays on Space-Time’ Volume III will soon become obsolete. I need to buy Volume IV, but that requires 1,000,000 points… Where will I get those points?” Luo Feng pondered deeply.
Purchasing the ‘Ten-Thousand Heart Soul-Control Secret Art’ had cost Luo Feng a significant amount of points.
His current point balance was insufficient to purchase Volume IV of ‘Essays on Space-Time.’
…
Time passed, and the interstellar journey had already lasted over eight months.
“Beep.”
“An email?”
Luo Feng, sitting inside his cabin, immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network.
…
In the Primordial Zone of the Virtual Universe’s Yuxiang Mountains, inside Luo Feng’s mansion.
In the study.
Sitting at the desk, Luo Feng opened his laptop and quickly clicked open the email.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s pupils shrank slightly.
The email’s subject was: “Domain Lord-Level Maximum Point Task.”
“Maximum points?” Luo Feng held his breath. He had heard rumors about the so-called maximum point tasks before. Occasionally, when core members reached the Domain Lord level and were dispatched outward, they received special missions from the Virtual Universe Company. These tasks varied in point rewards, but one was known as the “Maximum Point Task.”
The maximum point task for Primordial Zone members was naturally far more rewarding than those of the Taichu Zone, Tian Di Zone, or the Apocalypse Zone!
“How high?” Luo Feng stared intently.
The email content read:
“This task is the maximum point task for Primordial Zone members (Domain Lord level), and consists of four stages.
Stage One: Maximum of 100,000 points. Rewards are based on completion percentage. For example, 70% completion yields 70,000 points.
Stage Two: Maximum of 200,000 points.
Stage Three: Maximum of 300,000 points.
Stage Four: Maximum of 400,000 points.
Additional Bonus: If all four stages are completed, based on overall performance, the Virtual Universe Company will grant an additional bonus. The bonus ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 1,000,000 points.
Therefore—
The total maximum point reward for completing all four stages plus the bonus can reach up to 2,000,000 points!
WARNING! WARNING!
Each stage awards points based on completion percentage. To proceed to Stage Two, you must complete Stage One with at least 80% completion. If you fail to reach 80%, the entire maximum point task will automatically terminate.
Example: If Stage One completion is 70%, you will receive only 70,000 points, and the task will end.”
“Damn!”
“The requirements are this high? A chain task? The point reward is also absurdly high—up to 2,000,000 points!” Luo Feng stared at the email, completely stunned. The point reward was staggering. Even the highest-ranked Cosmic-Level training task—the Infernal Abyss, considered the ultimate challenge—only awarded 1,000,000 points.
This maximum point task was extremely unusual. You could only proceed to the next stage if you achieved a certain completion percentage in the previous one.
After completing all four stages, there was even an additional bonus, determined by the Virtual Universe Company based on your overall performance, with no clearly defined criteria.
…
After reading the email, Luo Feng noticed an attachment labeled “Maximum Point Task – Stage One.”
He clicked it open.
The attachment read:
“Stage One is the first step of the entire maximum point task—and the most crucial one! Whether you can proceed to the next stage and the final bonus evaluation both depend on this foundational step. Therefore, please complete this stage with utmost seriousness.
Task Details:
In the Qianwu Cosmic Nation, within the Cuilang Star Region, there exists a slave-trading organization known as ‘Huofeng.’ The Huofeng organization has eighteen high-ranking members. In addition to normal slave trading, Huofeng engages in various illegal activities that violate cosmic laws. Therefore, Luo Feng, you must personally capture all eighteen high-ranking members.
Then, you must personally punish each of them.
Punishment options are:
1. Death Penalty
2. 100 Years in Prison
3. 10,000 Years in Prison
4. 1,000,000 Years in Prison
You decide how to punish each of the eighteen individuals.
You may choose to imprison them for a hundred years or execute them outright.
…
The choice is entirely in your hands!
During the entire mission, you must maintain ‘Virtual Universe Network synchronization transmission’ at all times. All your actions must be transmitted in real-time. Only by fully observing your process and punishment decisions can the mission’s completion percentage be evaluated.
1. If completion percentage reaches 80%, you may proceed to Stage Two.
2. If completion percentage is below 80%, the entire maximum point task will automatically terminate.
The email also includes detailed information on the eighteen high-ranking members of the Huofeng organization. If you require more information, you may contact the intelligence department for assistance. Please note—throughout the entire mission, including all killings, captures, and punishments, you must personally execute everything. You are strictly forbidden from delegating any of these tasks to subordinates.
Your guards are only permitted to protect you, not to assist in completing the mission.”
…
Luo Feng sat in front of the laptop screen, frowning as he read the requirements for the maximum point task and its first stage. He sensed trouble.
This mission was unlike any of Luo Feng’s previous ones.
In the past, Cosmic-Level training missions always had clear requirements—such as obtaining a Blood-Net Crystal or collecting certain items. Even the previous immortal-hunting mission, with a maximum reward of 200,000 points, had very clear completion criteria.
But this time—
There was no clear standard.
“Barbara, what’s going on with this mission?” Luo Feng frowned.
“It’s very strange,” Barbara’s sharp voice responded. “It only requires you to activate the Virtual Universe Network synchronization transmission, personally capture the eighteen high-ranking members, and decide their punishments. How you punish them—how severe it is—is entirely up to you. Very strange. And during the mission, whether you massacre indiscriminately or avoid harming innocents—there are no requirements at all. They’ll just evaluate your completion percentage based on what you do.”
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
No clear criteria.
“They engage in slave trading and numerous illegal activities. This Huofeng organization must have nerves of steel to dare such actions,” Luo Feng muttered as he browsed the profiles of the eighteen high-ranking members.
“This mission is indeed bizarre.”
“They want me to punish them, offering four punishment options: 1. Death Penalty, 2. 100 Years in Prison, 3. 10,000 Years in Prison, 4. 1,000,000 Years in Prison. No clear requirements… This mission…” Luo Feng frowned.
He had to be cautious with the first stage. He must achieve at least 80% completion.
Otherwise, this massive 2,000,000-point reward mission would end immediately.
