Bloodline Upgrade!

The process of purchasing Earth went smoothly. Because Earth was a life planet of the highest classification, even with the discoverer's preferential policy, she still had to pay the highest-tier purchase price.

That was 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins, equivalent to 3 billion Ganwu Coins.

This was perfectly normal. The fact that Earth had once been ruled by an Immortal God alone made it unlikely to be a low-class life planet.

After Vinina immediately agreed to the purchase, the imperial official stated that the process had been initiated. It involved submitting an application, verifying the large amount of data provided, and undergoing review by various departments at imperial headquarters before confirmation and a formal transaction could take place.

The legal time limit for this process was a maximum of thirty days. The minimum was uncertain. If it were someone from a major imperial family, it might be settled in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Vinina could not help feeling a little helpless.

Of course, she understood what the official meant.

He said the longest was thirty days and the shortest was uncertain, but that basically meant the shortest was thirty days and the longest was uncertain. There were countless ways to hold someone up. With so many procedures, which one could not delay her for ten days or so?

With a soft sigh, Vinina's slender fingers slowly tapped on the table. "I can't wait thirty days."

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

The official shook his head, an apologetic smile on his face. "I'm only a minor official on a remote planet. Purchasing a life planet requires approval from various imperial departments. I have no way to interfere with them."

"However, please rest assured, ma'am. Under normal circumstances, it can be completed within thirty days."

"I don't want normal circumstances."

Vinina waved her hand and straightforwardly began throwing money at the problem. "Complete every step within three days, and I'll give you 10 million Black Dragon Coins as compensation."

"Complete it within twenty-four hours, and it'll be 100 million!"

"You only need to tell me whether you can do it or not."

Vinina looked at the imperial official, whose eyes had widened and whose breathing had grown rapid, her cool voice slipping from her lips.

In the Original Work, Luo Feng had feared that the Nuo Lanshan family would buy Earth before he could. As for her, she simply feared that complications would arise with time. Earth's coordinates had already been submitted to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and with a process lasting over thirty days...

Who knew whether all sorts of monsters and freaks would suddenly show up?

The risk was indeed small, but if money could eliminate it, why not eliminate it? She had already spent 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins to buy Earth. Adding another 800 million or 1 billion was nothing. Still, this was merely expediting a process. Luo Feng had offered 1 billion Black Dragon Coins because Earth had already been invaded, the situation was urgent, and it needed to be resolved as quickly as possible. Vinina only feared delays. If she promised the same amount, she would look like a complete sucker.

100 million was just right.

To an official on such a remote planet, it was also an astronomical sum.

Sure enough, after Vinina made those promises, the official immediately guaranteed, "Lady Vinina, I am 100 percent confident that it can be done within a day!"

"However, I need money to pave the way. The purchase of a planet, its review, and so on involve twelve departments. I must smooth things over with every one of them. Therefore, I hope Lady Vinina can transfer the 100 million Black Dragon Coins to me first, and I'll act immediately."

"Please rest assured, Lady Vinina. I would never dare take your money and fail to do the job!"

Clearly, he intended to get the money first before doing anything. However, Vinina did not refuse. She promptly transferred 100 million Black Dragon Coins to the official's account.

Just as he said, a minor official from a remote planet who had not even reached the Star level normally would not dare embezzle money from someone capable of spending 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins to purchase a life planet.

Time passed second by second.

Vinina sat calmly on the sofa, watching the official bustle about before her as she waited patiently.

It was not until seven hours later that the imperial official who had previously received Vinina returned to her sight. This time, however, he held a stack of documents in his hands, his face covered in a brilliant smile. "Lady Vinina, everything has been settled. We can proceed with the transaction."

"Seven hours. Not bad efficiency."

Vinina gave a slight shrug, then rose and followed the official to complete the transaction. By the time she stepped out of the imperial administration building again, 3 billion Ganwu Coins had been deducted from her Cosmic River Bank account.

She had less than 7 billion remaining.

But at the same time, she had become the owner of Earth's rights of possession!

Over the following days, Vinina's routine remained the same. She immersed herself completely in training: the Slaughter Arena, tempering her battle intent, and using Azure Wave Marrow and Wood Crystals to raise her genetic energy. Her days were exceedingly fulfilling.

This continued until the Virtual Universe Company's Universe Spaceship arrived.

Her identity was confirmed, and the handover was completed.

A briefcase was placed in Vinina's hands. When she opened it, she found a slender syringe-like tube glowing with multicolored light. The colorful liquid inside was the Bloodline Evolution Agent Vinina had waited so long for.

She took it out and looked at it. Beneath the starlight, the colorful liquid seemed to possess an incomparable allure that made one's heart tremble.

"This thing has finally arrived."

Vinina spoke in a low, emotional voice.

She had waited a full fifteen days for it. If not for waiting on this item, she—whose Martial Artist strength had reached Planetary level ninth rank and whose Mental Master strength had reached Star level first rank—would have long since set out for life-and-death tempering.

This was Babata's arrangement, as well as her own request.

After all, she had not experienced Luo Feng's Seize Body of the Golden Horn Beast. Without life-and-death tempering, she feared that by the time Luo Feng was born and rose to prominence, she would still be some insignificant Star-level or Universe-level nobody.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Inside the training room of Black Dragon Mountain X81, Vinina sat cross-legged. Without hesitation, she removed the syringe cap, stabbed it directly into her skin, and pushed every drop of the colorful liquid into her body, letting it merge with her flesh and blood!

In an instant!

Vinina's body reacted. The colorful liquid was like a gang of starving bandits, crazily plundering and devouring every cell within Vinina's body. Pain like being cut alive rushed over her and stormed into her mind!

For a moment, even Vinina's tightly clenched teeth made a sound, and blood seeped from between her lips.

It hurt!

It hurt terribly!

It hurt so much that even Vinina, who often used battle intent to temper her will, could not stop her entire body from trembling!

At this moment, every cell in her body seemed to have become a battlefield, constantly evolving and strengthening amid the struggle!

"If you can't hold it in, scream a few times. This thing improves your bloodline and changes you from the deepest level, so naturally it's incomparably painful. You can only endure it."

Babata offered a consoling reminder. "It'll be over soon. There's less than an hour left."

Even amid her boundless torment and pain, Vinina could not help feeling speechless.

Soon?

Less than an hour?

Easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering!
