“It’s found.” Babata’s search was extremely fast.
“What are the conditions?” Luo Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Discovering a new planet through cosmic adventure, or finding a planet without a legal lord, there are three options.” Babata explained.
“The first option is to report it to the Empire and receive rewards. The Black Dragon Empire will reward from a minimum of 10 billion Black Dragon coins to a maximum of 100 billion coins based on the planet’s value.”
“Of course, with the first option, you cannot become the lord of Earth.”
“The second option is to directly purchase the planet. Since you discovered it, the cost to buy it will be relatively low. Depending on the planet’s level, the price ranges from a minimum of 300 billion Black Dragon coins to a maximum of 3 trillion coins.”
Luo Feng inhaled sharply.
Too expensive!!!
However, Luo Feng knew clearly that the price of planets was indeed exaggerated. After all, owning a living planet was like possessing a treasure pot! Moreover, the lifespan of a planet is usually extremely long, measured in hundreds of millions of years, making it a true heirloom. Of course, this is only if one’s life span allows.
Therefore, the price of planets is generally measured in ‘trillions of Black Dragon coins.’
“The third option is to co-manage the planet with the Empire. You only need to pay a minimum of 100 billion to a maximum of 1 trillion Black Dragon coins.” Babata continued. “With co-management, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will not interfere in the planet’s internal affairs. They will only collect import and export tariffs. Everything else will be left to you!”
“The second and third options are both ways to become the lord of Earth.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
The most profitable aspect of a planet is the ‘import and export tariffs.’ In the universe, if a planet does not engage in trade with the outside world, how can it earn cosmic currency?
“I don’t care about the tariffs and can cooperate with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. But I don’t have the money.” Luo Feng said helplessly.
“It’s not just that you don’t have money, but you cannot even apply to make Earth your territory.” Babata said.
“Why?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
“How would you apply? Back then, your teacher ‘Huyanbo’ traveled through the universe with his physical body, entered the dark universe, and through spatial secret techniques, directly concealed the ‘cosmic coordinates’ corresponding to the area around Earth spanning nearly a thousand light-years. Other spaceships cannot find these coordinates, so naturally, they cannot reach Earth through cosmic travel.” Babata explained. “Ordinary spaceships can only fly from thousands of light-years away, taking nearly a thousand years to reach Earth.”
“Would you then apply to make Earth your territory by saying… our spaceship flew for a thousand years and discovered this planet?”
“A planet discovered after flying for a thousand years would naturally be considered worthless! No trade would be willing to spend so much time!”
“Moreover, anyone not foolish would suspect… you are the heir of the Yimo Star!”
“Unless… someone can decipher your teacher’s spatial secret techniques. Or a new wormhole is suddenly discovered in the surrounding star region, otherwise, Earth is currently quite safe.”
…
On the planet Qiulong, inside a private dining room of a restaurant.
Luo Feng’s consciousness returned to reality.
“At least Earth is still safe for now!” Luo Feng smiled slightly, picked up the glass of fruit juice beside him, and took a sip. “Hmm?” He narrowed his eyes and frowned, “This taste…”
It was a very strange taste.
At first sip, his whole body broke out in goosebumps, but upon closer examination, the flavor was indeed unique, with a special charm.
“Wow. This is the first time us Earthlings have tasted this stuff. Let me have another sip.” Luo Feng chuckled.
“Buzz~ Buzz~”
The bracer on his arm vibrated slightly. On Qiulong, only Gaosheng had his own communication code.
“Ha ha, Luo Feng, I’ve finished my business! Let’s eat together!” Gaosheng called.
“Where?” Luo Feng smiled.
“In the northern district of Qiulong City, not far from the slave market, there’s a great place to eat called ‘Baiwei Restaurant.'” Gaosheng said.
“Alright, I’ll be there within half an hour.” Luo Feng ended the communication, tilted his head back, and drank the alien planet juice in one go, smacking his lips twice before heading out.
…
In the Milky Way, on Earth.
The sunlight was brilliant, shimmering on the ocean waves below. Above the ocean, two figures flew side by side toward the Sahara Desert.
They were Hong and Thunder.
“This little third brother didn’t say a word and just sneaked off.” Thunder was so angry his teeth itched.
“Old third leaving for a month must have something important to do,” Hong said calmly. “Everyone has their own secrets. When he comes back, if he wants to tell us, he will.”
“Hmph, I’ll definitely get him drunk when he comes back,” Thunder gritted his teeth.
Hong and Thunder continued flying while chatting.
Life on Earth was indeed leisurely!
Since the incident with the devouring beast, Hong, Thunder, and Luo Feng, the three great experts, had made humanity unprecedentedly strong. The two beast emperors of the sea had died, reducing the threat to a minimum.
Earth was now at peace.
This peaceful life had lasted for more than two years.
…
The people of Earth did not know that in a star region not too far from Earth.
A spaceship of a cosmic adventurer was moving at an astonishing speed, heading directly toward Earth!
…
On the planet Qiulong, 320,000 light-years from Earth.
On the second floor of the Baiwei Restaurant in the northern district of Qiulong City.
“This way, this way.” A voice came.
Luo Feng turned his head and saw Gaosheng standing up and waving. Luo Feng smiled and walked over.
“Brother Gaosheng, you seem to be in a good mood,” Luo Feng said as he sat down.
“I encountered something happy, of course I’m in a good mood.” Gaosheng’s small eyes sparkled with excitement. “Ah, I’ll tell you later. First, let me order. This Baiwei Restaurant has several famous dishes.” Saying this, Gaosheng waved his hand slightly, and immediately a beautiful and seductive woman with blue hair came over.
Luo Feng looked over.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
This blue-haired woman was indeed beautiful, but what surprised Luo Feng the most was… her strength was not even at the Star-Level!
On Qiulong, the streets were generally filled with Star-Level individuals, with a few at the Constellation-Level.
“The last restaurant I went to, the server was an ordinary person. I didn’t expect this restaurant to be the same! However… the employees of the virtual universe company and official departments are all at the Star-Level.” Luo Feng thought for a moment and understood… ordinary people’s salaries were cheaper.
Perhaps they didn’t even need a salary.
“Brother Luo Feng, the girl just now was quite good-looking, right? The Mengbei women are all beautiful.” Gaosheng winked. “If you like her, just take her. Just tell the boss.”
“Take her?” Luo Feng was somewhat stunned.
“A beautiful woman who isn’t even at the Star-Level usually has a tragic fate.” Gaosheng sighed. “She isn’t even a citizen and has no legal protection. People with a little power can kill her or take her away whenever they want! They can just grab her and sell her as a slave! If she could be with someone like you, Brother Luo Feng, it would be her luck!”
Luo Feng was deeply shocked in his heart.
To be able to kill or capture someone at will and make them a slave?
Although Babata had long said that those below the Star-Level had a tragic fate in the universe, most ordinary people lived on their home planets and didn’t even have the qualification to buy spaceship tickets. However, hearing Gaosheng say it directly and seeing the beautiful Mengbei girl beside him with such a fate made the impact even stronger.
“Look, she’s stealing glances at you, Brother Luo Feng.” Gaosheng teased.
Luo Feng swept his gaze.
He immediately saw the Mengbei girl in the corner of the restaurant stealing a glance. She had obviously heard Gaosheng’s words and was secretly looking over… When she was caught by Luo Feng, the woman’s face turned red, and she quickly ran into the kitchen.
…
Delicate dishes were served one after another.
They were indeed delicious, incredibly delicious!
“Today I went to see an elder, ha ha, he was too kind to me. He actually agreed to let me follow him for a few years to learn and study.” Gaosheng was full of joy. “My elder, he is a big shot in the energy business. Following him, I can learn experience and also build connections!”
Luo Feng was secretly shocked.
Energy business?
In the universe, trade between various planets relies on spaceships, transport ships, etc., but spaceships and warships need energy to fly! Even immortal experts need energy! Whether on Earth or in the universe, the energy business has always been a highly profitable and high-threshold industry, much more exclusive than the slave trade.
Without connections or relationships, even with money, you can’t get in!
“This Gaosheng must have a special background,” Luo Feng thought.
A son comes of age, and a planet is given.
Now Gaosheng is gradually entering the energy field…
“Brother Luo Feng, when are you leaving? I think I’ll be staying on Qiulong for a few years.” Gaosheng said.
“I? Soon, maybe even today I have to go back.” Luo Feng replied.
Coming to Qiulong, his main tasks were almost completed. According to what Babata said, there was only one thing left—to register at the ‘Qianwu Dojo.’ After registration, he could leave Qiulong.
“So soon?” Gaosheng was somewhat regretful. “What’s your virtual universe ID? We brothers can play together when we have time.”
“Alright.”
Fortunately, Luo Feng had just opened an account, so he told Gaosheng his virtual universe network ID. Gaosheng also shared his ID with Luo Feng!
In the future, even if they were millions of light-years apart, the two could still communicate through the virtual universe.
…
In the restaurant, Luo Feng and Gaosheng were chatting.
Suddenly, three young men came up the stairs. They were all nearly two meters tall, with silver hair flowing and pupils that were captivatingly blue. All three were wearing black special uniforms, and the one in the center had a medal-like colorful pendant on his left chest.
“Brother Luo Feng, look, these three are students from the Qianwu Dojo. The one in the center is a resident of Qiulong and owns property here,” Gaosheng whispered.
“Oh?” Luo Feng looked over.
That black special uniform was the Qianwu Dojo’s standard training outfit.
That medal was proof of the Qiulong resident’s identity. With this medal, one had the safest guarantee on Qiulong.
“Velin, just lend me your mental weapon for half a day,” one of the students on the left said.
“I just bought it myself!” The student in the center, adorned with the medal, flicked his wrist to reveal a bizarre metallic disc forged from axe blades, its surface etched with arcane runes. “This is a premium second-tier psychic weapon. I had to beg my family for ages just to get the bank card. If I don’t ascend to cosmic-tier mastery, this psychic weapon will be my lifelong companion! Six billion Black Dragon Coins! That could buy multiple C-class starships. Swiping that card made my soul ache!”
The student intentionally shouted, causing many people in the restaurant to look over.
6 billion Black Dragon coins? A top-tier second-stage mental weapon?
“A top-tier mental weapon.” The eyes of the two students beside him also lit up. “This is something we can only dream of in this lifetime!”
A psychokineticist can only unleash their maximum combat power with a psychokinetic weapon.
However, psychokinetic weapons are very complex to manufacture, so their prices are also very expensive. Not to mention a top-tier second-stage psychokinetic weapon.
“Tsk tsk.” The student named Velin gently caressed the psychokinetic weapon in his hand as if stroking a woman’s skin, his eyes burning with passion.
At a distant table, Luo Feng and Gaosheng looked over.
“Psychokinetic weapon?”
Luo Feng was slightly stunned and asked in his mind, “Babata, what level are my Runhe Spindle and Huda Disc as psychokinetic weapons?”
