Virtual Universe

The Black Dragon Ship maintained a speed of 1.2 times the Light Speed Flight in the Dark Universe.

Nine Heavens later—

"Master, we will be Cosmic Shuttle and arriving at Qiulong Star in 10 minutes," Annabelle said.

Reaching the speed of light in the Primordial Universe will automatically transport you into the Dark Universe, and once you slow down to a standstill in the Dark Universe, you will return to the Primordial Universe.

In the Dark Universe, there is no stationary matter.

Lin Yan felt the spaceship beneath his feet vibrate slightly, and the vibration lasted for about ten seconds before everything calmed down.

"Successfully Cosmic Shuttle and returned to the Primordial Universe."

Lin Yan immediately replied, "Exterior scene simulation, 100%."

Brush!

Lin Yan and the others immediately saw the vast starry sky around them, and what was most special was... they saw a planet in the distance that seemed to have colorful light, with two satellites faintly visible around it.

"That's the Qiulong Star?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the colorful planet in the distance.

"Yes, this is also our first stop in the universe." Lin Yan's eyes were clear and bright as he said, "After entering Qiulong Star, remember to pay attention to the points I mentioned before, and don't reveal our identities."

Better safe than sorry.

"We know."

The Black Dragon Ship has accelerated and is heading towards the distant Qiulong Star.

Before me was an exterior simulation, clearly showing the spaceship approaching the Qiulong Star and almost touching its atmosphere. Qiulong Star's atmosphere was very peculiar, clearly visible to the naked eye... Clouds of various colors flowed slowly, making the entire planet incredibly beautiful from the outside.

"Drop!"

"Torch signal received," Annabelle said. "The spaceship will follow the torch signal to the planetary docking port."

Upon arriving at a planet, one cannot simply allow other people's spaceships to fly around aimlessly; one must enter a docking port! Of course... if one has the strength, everything is negotiable.

On advanced planets like Qiulong Star, only those at the "Domain Lord" level or above can disregard the traction signal and fly directly into the planet.

However, a domain lord would generally give Qiulong Star face, since Qiulong Star's master was also a domain lord!

The docking port on Qiulong Star looks like a huge silver city, filled with a dense array of spaceships, large and small.

There are even large transport ships that are tens of thousands of meters long.

It is divided into several major areas. For example, the Black Dragon Ship is a Class C spacecraft, and the traction signal points to the C-Class Zone.

Generally, even Cosmic level powerhouses travel in spaceships of this caliber. There aren't many D-class spaceship on Qiulong Star that go even further.

"Call!"

The Black Dragon Ship descended slowly and finally landed.

The hatch opened.

"The gravity of this planet is about three times that of Earth." Luo Feng noticed the change in gravity as soon as he flew out of the hatch.

Lin Yan, Hong, and Thunder God also flew out.

A burly, green-skinned man wearing a gray uniform, standing over two meters tall, with two curved horns on his head, flew over. He was a staff member of the docking port.

He appeared humble and polite, providing smiling service throughout, and spoke fluent Universal Language: "Respected gentlemen, welcome to Qiulong Star. Your Black Dragon Mountain X81 model spaceship has a parking fee of 600 Black Dragon Coin per year! If it's less than a year, the fee will be 600 Black Dragon Coin. Here is your parking card."

As he spoke, he handed over a silver, semi-transparent card with a "C" symbol on it.

Lin Yan stepped forward. Since leaving the spaceship, his demeanor had changed, and he now possessed the air of a noble young master.

A cold-faced guard stepped forward and handed the staff member a Qianwu Coin.

Lin Yan looked relaxed and casually said, "No need to look anymore."

The green-skinned burly man's eyes lit up. This was Qianwu Coin, which could be exchanged for nearly two thousand Black Dragon Coin on the black market. This was a huge profit.

"Thank you, sir," he said, bowing respectfully.

Although his strength was only at the Planetary level, he had developed exceptional eyesight through exposure to the world. The Black Dragon Mountain X81 model spaceship was a luxury item, and Lin Yan used Qianwu Coin to pay for it. The two guards behind him looked like real people, but after a few more glances, he could tell that they were "Flowing Silver Guard," a high-tech cosmic product best suited for bodyguards.

He must be a big shot from another planet!

Under his envious gaze, Lin Yan and his group took off and flew in the sky.

The sky of Qiulong Star is different from that of Earth, resembling a layer of purple gauze, while in the distance it turns blue, which is quite beautiful.

After flying for nearly half an hour, they finally saw a colossal city in the distance. Its walls were as black as ink, stretching to the horizon, while the tops of the walls resembled transparent glass, with magnificent glass dragons coiled atop the walls.

It exudes a breathtakingly ancient aura.

This is Qiu Long City! It has a long history, dating back over three million years!

Lin Yan and the others landed and entered the city gate together.

As they walked through this megacity, the diverse architectural styles along the streets and the various ethnicities of the pedestrians filled them with a sense of wonder.

"As expected of Qiu Long City!" Thunder God exclaimed.

Earth's sky is too narrow, like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. However, Lin Yan seemed relatively calm, because this Qiulong Star was just another slightly larger well.

Wind Queen entering Qiu Long City, Feng Hou inquired with the planetary service number to find out the location of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's administrative building on Qiulong Star.

Obtaining citizenship is naturally the top priority.

They flew over two hundred kilometers to the administrative building, a huge sculpted structure of Black Dragon perched atop a high mountain.

The matter proceeded smoothly without any setbacks, and the group obtained citizenship in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Lin Yan, what were you doing just now?"

Luo Feng was a little curious as to why Lin Yan had handled other matters at the administration building after obtaining citizenship.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Company business license."

"I'm here to do business."

Hong and the others were somewhat curious: Earth has no special products, so what kind of business could be conducted on Qiulong Star?

Babata guessed, "Could it be Tianxin Dew?"

"Tianxin Dew is slightly better than Purple Light Dew, and it still has a market. Planets that produce a lot of Purple Light Dew can be considered relatively rich."

But Lin Yan didn't say anything, so they didn't ask any further questions.

"The next step is to open an account on the Virtual Universe Network."

Lin Yan said, "The Virtual Universe Network is the key to our true contact with the universe. It allows us to access all human kingdoms and races in the universe."

Hong exclaimed in shock, "You're saying that people scattered anywhere in the universe can communicate instantly through Virtual Universe Network?"

"How... how did they do that?"

The universe is vast and boundless. The Milky Way Galaxy, where Earth is located, contains more than 200 billion stars and countless planets, including more than 210,000 Life Planet. The eight major star systems, including the Milky Way Galaxy, together form the Silver Blue Empire, a primitive civilization in the universe.

The Black Dragon Black Dragon Mountain Empire Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain," directly controls more than 6,000 star systems, and also has more than 500 vassal states of elementary civilizations.

The advanced civilization of the universe, the "Ganwu Universe Country," is even more terrifying. It has nearly a thousand intermediate civilizations under its jurisdiction, more than 13,000 star fields, and more than 100 million star systems!

Humans, as the pinnacle of the universe, comprise 1,008 such Universe Country, with a vast and boundless territory. Yet, the Virtual Universe Network is able to allow people to meet and communicate in the virtual world without any delay.

This is truly unbelievable.

Hong has a virtual space on Earth called "War God Palace," but its scope is limited to Earth and its functions are not many.

"So Virtual Universe Company is the pinnacle of power in the universe. Even the Universe Country is far inferior to it. Let's open an account now and broaden our horizons."

There are many ways to access the Virtual Universe Network. The most advanced way is through Intelligent life form, followed by intelligent Light Brain and Auxiliary Optical Computer, and the least advanced way is through consciousness-sensing helmets.

Helmets made on Earth certainly cannot connect to the Virtual Universe Network.

However, even though Lin Yan's Wind Queen, Hong's intelligent Light Brain, and Thunder God's Auxiliary Optical Computer are all capable of accessing the "Virtual Universe Network" before they have opened an account, they cannot obtain authorization to enter.

Babata was using the account permissions of his master Huyan Bo, but Luo Feng could not use them either.

After opening an account at the Qiu Long City branch of the Virtual Universe Company, they went to a casual restaurant.

We chose a private room.

After the waiter left the private room, the Flowing Silver Guard closed the door from the inside and began their guard duty.

"Lin Yan, I think we should buy some consciousness-sensing helmets and anonymous accounts to take back so that Earthling can also access the Virtual Universe Network."

As they savored the dishes of Qiu Long City, Hong spoke up during the meal.

"Yes, we'll buy it when we're ready to go back. I'm planning to buy a lot."

After they finished eating, they were all quite excited and immediately tried to connect to the Virtual Universe Network.

The same applies to Lin Yan.

"Wind Queen, enter the Virtual Universe," Lin Yan instructed.

Wind Queen's voice was sweet, and she seemed even happier than him. "Yes, Master!"

She is Intelligent life form, and once Lin Yan officially opens an account, she can directly use Lin Yan's account to connect to the Virtual Universe.

Like that guy Babata, he just plays virtual games all day long when he has nothing to do.

"Virtual Universe connection in progress..."

A deep, resounding voice echoed in Lin Yan's consciousness.

He appeared in an ancient city. The passersby on the street looked all different, but most of them were dressed in simple gray clothes, and each of them had a little elf on their shoulder.

Brush!

Lin Yan suddenly appeared on the street, with a cute, chibi-style Wind Queen sitting on his shoulder. It was only the size of a fist.

"Master, we are now on Black Dragon Mountain Island, on the edge of the Virtual Universe 'Ganwu Continent'."

"All those within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who are connected to the Virtual Universe Network will appear on 'Black Dragon Mountain Island'," Wind Queen explained. "Although it's called an island, its area is larger than any planet in the Reality Universe."

In the Virtual Universe, you can chat remotely or pay to teleport to meet someone in person.

There are also financial transactions, martial arts training, ordering and buying, virtual games, food, learning, and more—everything you could want.

It gathers all the elites of humanity in the universe and is more prosperous than the real world.

"But everything requires money to achieve."

Looking beyond appearances, if it's just about paying to open an account, then it's only good for chatting.

Lin Yan checked out the various functions, and then his consciousness returned to reality.

"... It's time to make money."

Thank you to Emperor Red Lotus for the 3000-point reward.
