Enthusiastic King Wuxing

Surrounded by more than ten thousand people from front to back, Zhou Lin was being excessively ostentatious as he paraded through the streets, earning some Prestige Value in this prosperous district for the wealthy.

The Genius Battle had ended only a few years ago, and the residents of the Imperial Capital still had some impression of this monstrous genius who had broken into the top ten in the universe-wide rankings.

"Zhou Lin? Is he the Zhou Lin from the Genius Battle?"

"He should be. He was only at the Stellar level back then, yet after just a few years, he can make Immortal Spirits bow in greeting?"

"I wonder when I'll be able to have such presence."

The pedestrians on both sides of the street chattered among themselves.

Zhou Lin sensed the increase in Prestige Value and wished there could be more scenes like this, preferably with him making a full circuit around the entire Imperial Capital Star.

[Congratulations, host. Your reputation has reached the required level. Reward obtained: Peerless Sword.]

Why is it only a Demigod artifact? Zhou Lin was puzzled. He had even received a True God Artifact as a reward before, so why had he been given a Demigod artifact now?

What use could a Demigod artifact have for him now?

[The system's rewards are random, but they have upper and lower limits based on the host's cultivation.]

The rule was simple. For example, if his current cultivation was at the Demigod level, then the lower limit of what he could obtain would be a Demigod artifact.

The upper limit would not be too outrageous either.

For example, it was completely impossible for someone at the Transcendent stage to obtain a True God Artifact or even a Void Divine Weapon.

Luojin City was incomparably vast. After Zhou Lin's group traveled for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at its northernmost end.

A few months ago, this had still been a desolate region, but after Zhou Lin's appointment notice was issued, a new city was rapidly developed here.

At the very center of North City stood Zhou Lin's manor. It covered more than a thousand kilometers and was extravagantly luxurious.

After a Supervisory Envoy took office, the Virtual Universe Company would certainly help build a residence for him. Moreover, as one of the four giants, a manor spanning more than a thousand kilometers was worthy of Zhou Lin's status.

This was the most prosperous city on the Imperial Capital Star. The value of a manor spanning over a hundred kilometers was no less than that of an ordinary galaxy.

Furthermore, with Zhou Lin moving in, the value of the surrounding land would rapidly rise as well, transforming what had once been a desolate area into a place of boundless prosperity.

"Are you satisfied?" King Wuxing said with a hearty laugh. "Your manor took quite some time to prepare. The materials, decorations, and servants were all personally selected by King Hongming, King Liuxu, and me."

The land area was only one aspect. The materials used for the manor were the most important part.

Just building this manor had cost the entire fortune of an Ordinary Immortal.

"Satisfied, satisfied." Although Zhou Lin's residence in the Primal Secret Realm was larger, its materials were nowhere near this extravagant.

There were more than a million servants inside the manor.

Most of them belonged to races that looked similar to Zhou Lin.

Upon entering the manor, Aido could not help saying, "The cost of building this place must have far exceeded the company's normal budget, right?"

"Of course," King Wuxing replied. "We covered the excess cost out of our own pockets. We absolutely did not use a single coin from the company."

Aido's words were a covert reminder to Zhou Lin that the manor was far more valuable than he imagined.

The corridors running through the entire manor were all paved with Luojin Stone.

The gardens and lawns all around were planted with brilliantly colored Plant Lifeforms.

They ranged from the Cosmic level to the World Lord level.

In the distance stood pavilion after pavilion, with bridges over flowing streams and beautiful scenery. A miniature star even hung high in the sky.

"King Wuxing has truly treated me well." Zhou Lin smiled. "It would be rude to refuse such kindness. Thank you very much."

He had come here merely to earn Prestige Value.

With King Wuxing and the other two giants cooperating, Zhou Lin was naturally happy as well.

Zhou Lin would not go looking for trouble by investigating them for embezzlement. That would simply create enemies for himself, and besides, there was no need for it.

Whoever came to this position would have to put money in their own pockets.

King Wuxing and the others had to remain even more respectful toward Zhou Lin. His status was noble, and aside from being a member of the Primal Secret Realm, he was also Palace Master Tianshi's sole disciple.

In terms of status and strength, Palace Master Tianshi was nearly on the level of a Universe Master.

"King Hongming and the others will need half a day to arrive." King Wuxing asked as if seeking Zhou Lin's opinion, "The Virtual Universe Company's branch is preparing a welcome banquet for Your Highness. What do you think?"

Zhou Lin shook his head.

What use was a welcome banquet?

How many Immortal Spirits, members of the imperial family, and others were there in the entire Luojin Universe Nation?

What Zhou Lin wanted was Prestige Value, not simply to put on airs and show off his might.

"There's no need for a banquet or anything like that." Zhou Lin walked into the building ahead and casually replied, "It would consume too much energy. I also understand your intentions, King Wuxing."

King Wuxing's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat flustered inside.

What does he mean? Could this kid be planning to fall out with us? Countless thoughts flashed through King Wuxing's mind.

If Zhou Lin was determined to investigate him, he could certainly uncover quite a few pieces of evidence of embezzlement. Although his status as a King meant he would not be in danger of losing his life, imprisonment was unavoidable.

"When King Hongming and the others return, we can simply get together in private." Zhou Lin added, "I truly don't like making a fuss. Don't overthink it."

What was the point of meeting with a group of Ordinary Immortals and Realm Lords?

In terms of strength, Zhou Lin wielded an artifact and had extremely outstanding law comprehension. Together with his First Grade True Meaning, he could definitely kill an ordinary Ninth Stage Lord of the Realm.

If he comprehended the second realm of the Chaotic Hole True Meaning and made another breakthrough in the laws, it might even be possible for him to fight an Immortal with the cultivation of a Domain Lord.

"Very well, very well." King Wuxing said helplessly, "Then I'll leave first. After King Hongming and the others return, I'll come back to your manor and meet with you all."

Zhou Lin escorted King Wuxing out of the manor before returning to the residence.

King Wuxing must have embezzled even more than I thought.

The other party had been far too enthusiastic, practically doing everything possible to curry favor with him. The manor he had given him was worth far more than an ordinary galaxy.

Zhou Lin smiled, then went to the quiet room to begin cultivating. As long as King Wuxing and the others behaved themselves over the next few years and did not openly embezzle on a large scale in front of him, their past actions were unimportant.

The three of them had already lost the possibility of reaching the supreme level.

Because he was comprehending the systems of two Origin Worlds, Zhou Lin placed great importance on the mind as well. Being tainted by too much worldly air would affect his progress.

Take King Wuxing, for example. All he studied was how to embezzle a little more money.

Where was the pride of a powerhouse?

"Your Highness, the items you ordered have just been delivered to the manor."

A stunningly beautiful female Realm Lord walked in. She was the steward responsible for all the manor's affairs, named Yiyue.

When Zhou Lin had previously applied for a nutrition cabin, he had naturally listed the Luojin Imperial Capital Star as the address. As soon as he arrived, it had been sent over right behind him.

The time needed to soak from Domain Lord Stage One to Stage Nine was not short. Fortunately, Zhou Lin only pretended to use the nutrition cabin; in reality, he could completely rely on the system's enhancement.

"Yiyue, what administrative stars are there in the Luojin Universe Nation?" Zhou Lin suddenly asked.
