Parting (Recommendations Wanted)

Qiulong Star, Black Dragon Mountain Empire Administrative Building

Li Ze, who had been filling out the information registration form, suddenly stopped.

"Supervisor Andres, I just arrived on Qiulong Star. After joining the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, I haven't opened a Universe Bank account yet," Li Ze said to Andres.

"Mr. Li, send me your Virtual Universe account. I'll directly coordinate with Cosmic River Bank to open a Universe Bank account for you." Andres clearly knew that Li Ze had only just joined the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, so he did not question why Li Ze lacked a Universe Bank account.

"You can open a Universe Bank account here too?" Li Ze was somewhat puzzled, and so was Luo Feng, who sat beside him.

Seeing Li Ze's confusion, Andres smiled and explained.

"It's like this. The Cosmic Army is jointly formed by humanity's five major powers, so certain basic services of those five powers can be directly authorized and handled through the military network. I only need to send your basic information to Cosmic River Bank, and they will give your request priority," Andres briefly explained.

"Moreover, because you are Universe level and have registered to participate in the Outer Domain Battlefield, Cosmic River Bank will automatically grant you two-star account privileges."

After hearing Andres's explanation, both Li Ze and Luo Feng could not help but marvel at the preferential treatment the Human Race gave to experts participating in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

One had to know that to upgrade to a two-star Cosmic River Bank account, the wealth in the account had to reach 10 billion Cosmic Coins. Such wealth was generally only attainable by Domain Lord level experts.

Li Ze gave Andres his anonymous Virtual Universe account number.

Andres began operating his Auxiliary Light Brain.

"Ding."

About five minutes later, Li Ze received an email on his communication device.

"Dear customer, hello.

You have successfully opened an account with our bank.

Account number: '1692--6653--YZYH--8162--5333--1473'

Your account privileges are 'two-star account.' You have also automatically become a distinguished two-star customer of Cosmic River Bank. As a star-rated customer, you enjoy many special rights.

For your account's security, please log into the Cosmic River Bank program as soon as possible, bind your spiritual imprint, and set a password.

You may also review the privileges of a two-star customer."

After reading the email, Li Ze logged into the Cosmic River Bank program, bound his spiritual imprint to the account, and set an account password.

Afterward, he continued filling out the information registration form.

Two minutes later, the form was completed, and Li Ze sent it to Andres.

"Please wait a moment." After receiving the information, Andres took the contract and left the VIP room.

About twenty minutes later, Andres returned to the VIP room.

"Mr. Li, I have successfully uploaded your registration materials to the Human Universe Army Headquarters. Their Intelligent Core is processing your information. Normally, it takes about six hours from review to receiving your enlistment notice. Once you receive it, the notice will tell you what you need to prepare. Generally, there will be three months of preparation time," Andres explained to Li Ze.

"Do you plan to remain on Qiulong Star for the near future, or do you have other plans? If you intend to stay on Qiulong Star, we will arrange accommodation for you here."

Li Ze thought for a moment after hearing this.

"I'll stay on Qiulong Star for the next three months. Please trouble Supervisor Andres to arrange a place for me." After all, he only had three months. It was the perfect time to purchase some of the things he needed on Qiulong Star.

"Very well, Mr. Li. I'll arrange your accommodation on Qiulong Star for the next three months right away. Please wait a moment," Andres said with a smile after hearing Li Ze's reply.

With that, Andres left the room again.

"Luo Feng, I'll remain on Qiulong Star for the next three months while waiting to enlist and head to the Outer Domain Battlefield, so I won't be returning to Earth. If anything comes up, contact me in the Virtual Universe," Li Ze said after Andres left.

Luo Feng, who sat beside him, did not object. Given his personality, although he was somewhat reluctant and worried, he would not express it.

The two chatted idly in the VIP room for a while longer.

Andres returned to the VIP room once again and said to Li Ze, "Mr. Li Ze, your temporary residence on Qiulong Star has been arranged. Please follow me, both of you."

With that, he led the two out of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire Administrative Building.

Above Qiulong City, Andres and the other two flew toward the southern side of the city.

After leaving Qiulong City, the three continued flying south. Before long, a series of magnificent castles appeared in their field of vision.

"Mr. Li, the residence arranged for you this time is a castle 1,300 kilometers south of Qiulong City. This castle is specially used to receive experts like yourself who have enlisted to head to the Outer Domain Battlefield," Andres introduced as they flew.

Li Ze listened to Andres without speaking, merely nodding.

Soon, the three arrived at their destination: a highly technological "castle," nine-point-eight kilometers in both length and width, made of silver metal.

This type of "castle" was exactly like the kind Luo Feng had seen when he first arrived on Qiulong Star, similar to villas on Earth.

The three landed before the "castle" gates. Two roughly three-meter-tall Silver White Flowing Silver Guards stood before the entrance.

Andres approached one of the Flowing Silver Guards and showed him the residency documents.

"Welcome, Sir Li Ze, to your residence." After checking the documents, the two Flowing Silver Guards immediately bowed to Li Ze.

One of them led the three into the castle.

"Sir Li Ze, the castle has been unoccupied for a long time. At present, some servants and intelligent robots are mainly responsible for its daily maintenance. Over the next three months, these servants and intelligent robots will follow your will and attend to your daily needs," Andres said to Li Ze as they followed the Flowing Silver Guard into the castle.

As he spoke, the three arrived before a hall within the castle.

Andres stopped and took a round metal token from his Spatial Ring.

"Sir Li Ze, now that I have delivered you to your place of rest, I won't disturb you any further. This is the temporary control token for this castle. I'll leave it with you."

As he spoke, he handed the round metal token to Li Ze.

"Then thank you, Supervisor Andres. I won't trouble you any further," Li Ze said with a smile as he accepted the token.

It was a round token made from C3-grade Red Copper Essence. Different patterns were carved on both sides. The front bore the emblem of the Cosmic Army, while the back bore the national emblem of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"It is my honor to serve you. I wish you a safe return from the Outer Domain Battlefield." Andres bowed to Li Ze once more before turning and leaving.

After watching Andres leave, Li Ze and Luo Feng walked into the castle hall.

"Brother Ze, now that your trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield has been settled, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. What are your plans from here on?" Luo Feng asked Li Ze after the two sat down on the sofas in the hall.

Li Ze looked at Luo Feng and pondered for a moment.

"Feng, my original plan was to use the privileges of your Universe Bank account to sell that unknown lifeform material you didn't want last time, then purchase some items to deal with the upcoming slaughter in the Outer Domain Battlefield. But through this enlistment registration, I unexpectedly received two-star privileges directly. Now I can sell that material through Cosmic River Bank as well." Li Ze paused as another matter came to mind.

"However, there's something I may need you to handle for me. My enlistment contract includes a benefit: once I successfully enlist, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will reward me with ten Life Planets as territory. I'm alone and have no time to manage those territories. When the time comes, I'll need you to arrange for some Earth Humans to manage them. Twenty percent of the annual income can go to those managers."

"No problem, Brother Ze. Once the coordinates of your planets are confirmed, send them to me, and I'll arrange for some Earth Humans to go there. After all, it's time for Earth Humans to begin making contact with the universe." Luo Feng agreed without even thinking. It was only ten Life Planets, and with his current wealth, he did not care.

"Brother Ze, since there's nothing else for me to do here, I should return to Earth as well. There aren't any powerful experts guarding Earth right now, and I'm not at ease. If anything comes up, we can contact each other in the Virtual Universe." Seeing that Li Ze had nothing more to handle, Luo Feng decided to return to Earth and bid him farewell.

Li Ze had not expected Luo Feng to be in such a hurry to return to Earth. He was briefly stunned upon hearing the news.

But he quickly returned to normal. "All right. Since the Virtual Universe exists, we can still see each other often." Li Ze then smiled. "Then I hope you'll display great might in the Universe Peak Genius Battle and enter the core level of the Virtual Universe Company."

Li Ze smiled as he offered Luo Feng his wishes.

"I'll take your good words, Brother Ze. Then I'm leaving." Luo Feng smiled in reply before standing up directly.

Li Ze also stood and escorted Luo Feng outside the castle. Looking at Luo Feng, who was about to leave, and thinking of Luo Feng's experiences in the Original Work, he ultimately could not help but transmit his voice to Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, you need to grow stronger quickly. Earth is not simple. Once its value is exposed, without absolute strength, you may face a painful choice. I cannot tell you exactly what it is yet. Remember! Only when Earthlings themselves grow stronger can they protect Earth! Grow stronger as quickly as possible! Remember! Do not mention what happened today in the Virtual Universe!"

Just as Luo Feng was about to take flight, Li Ze's voice suddenly rang out in his mind. After hearing it, Luo Feng froze where he stood.

A moment later, Luo Feng returned to normal.

"Brother Ze, no matter what you know, Earth belongs to Earthlings. I will definitely protect it," Luo Feng replied to Li Ze.

After that, Luo Feng no longer hesitated. He flew into the air and headed toward the spacecraft Docking Port.

Li Ze stood where he was, watching Luo Feng fly into the distance. In mere moments, he disappeared from sight.

Li Ze stood for a long time as he looked toward the patch of sky where Luo Feng had vanished. Finally, he murmured, "Don't worry. I'm also one of Earth's people. She is my only bond with that azure planet. When that day comes, I will protect our 'home' with all of you!"

After speaking, Li Ze no longer hesitated and turned to enter the castle behind him.
