First Arrival in the Virtual Universe: Darksteel Prices
Yang Yu had long been curious about the legendary top-level Secret Technique created by the Yuan Zu that could permeate the entire Primal Universe.
"It's not far, only about a hundred kilometers from here," Babata began to give detailed directions.
Yang Yu then walked out of the building and took to the air.
The flight speed was quite fast over the vast sky above Qiu Long City.
Before long, Yang Yu arrived at the Virtual Universe Company branch in Qiu Long City.
"Sir, how may I help you?" A beautiful woman with a striking appearance, wearing a purple uniform and sporting a fluffy tail, bowed and smiled.
"Open an account," Yang Yu said with a smile.
"For account opening, how much Virtual Universe Network fee are you willing to pay upfront? We offer three tiers: 100 years, 1000 years, and 10000 years. The annual network fee is 10 Black Dragon Dollar or 0.008 Ganwu Dollar."
The woman at the reception explained fluently, clearly indicating that she frequently handled such cases.
"How much do the Consciousness Sensing Helmet and anonymous accounts cost?" Since he had come all the way to Qiu Long Planet, Yang Yu planned to buy some anonymous accounts so that his grandfather, Wang Lin, Hong, Thor, and others could use them when he got back.
"A Consciousness Sensing Helmet costs 10 Black Dragon Dollar, while anonymous accounts cost 2000 Black Dragon Dollar each, or 1.6 Ganwu Dollar each. However, they are only valid for 100 years and require renewal to continue using them."
"Okay, then I'll pay for 100 years in advance, and give me 10 anonymous accounts and 10 Consciousness Sensing Helmet."
"Yes, sir." The receptionist smiled and accepted the 17 Ganwu Dollar that Yang Yu handed over.
The Consciousness Sensing Helmet that Yang Yu had requested was delivered shortly afterward.
"Sir, the 10 anonymous accounts have been linked to these 10 Consciousness Sensing Helmet. Here is your change. Thank you for your patronage," the receptionist said politely.
"Consider this change your tip." Yang Yu simply accepted the ten Consciousness Sensing Helmet and immediately put them into his Space Ring.
"Thank you, sir. Please come again next time," the receptionist said happily. She was naturally delighted to receive a decent tip for just one service.
Afterwards, Yang Yu and Babata went to the Black Dragon Bank Building. Yang Yu spent some time getting a pure black Black Dragon Bank card and binding it to his Virtual Universe account. He then symbolically deposited 100 Ganwu Dollar into it and exchanged it for 100,000 Black Dragon Dollar for future transactions.
This bank is the official bank of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and it is quite useful within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
As for why he didn't open an account at the Galaxy Bank or the Universe First Bank, it's because even if Yang Yu took out all the money he had, it wouldn't meet the minimum requirements for opening an account.
In a casual restaurant in Qiu Long City.
At this moment, Yang Yu was enjoying his meal in a private room with good privacy and security.
After a busy day, it's time to treat myself.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yang Yu waved for the waitress to leave and warned her not to come in unless instructed to do so.
After the private room became quiet again.
"Babata, link to the Virtual Universe!" Yang Yu said impatiently.
Although Yang Yu can now Multi-tasking Technique, he is still limited by the strength of his consciousness and cannot separate his consciousness to link with the Virtual Universe, so he needs to find a safe and quiet place.
"Hehe, okay!" Babata replied, showing his cute Fangs.
"Virtual Universe connection in progress"
A deep, resounding voice echoed in Yang Yu's mind.
At this moment, Yang Yu's consciousness plunged into a brief period of darkness.
"Brush!"
Suddenly, the surroundings brightened.
Yang Yu's figure suddenly appeared on a street. Yang Yu patted himself lightly, marveling at the completely realistic feedback, and then curiously looked around.
At this moment, the place was bustling with people, and the shops on both sides of the street were also lively, but no one was curious about Yang Yu's sudden appearance.
Because this is precisely the Virtual Universe!
At this moment, Yang Yu was wearing a simple gray outfit, with a tiny 'Babata', no bigger than a fist, sitting on his shoulder. Babata was dressed in green and looked incredibly cute.
"Tsk tsk, the physical strength of Junior War General, the completely realistic perception, I really don't know how the Virtual Universe Company did it." After spending some time fully adapting to the current environment, Yang Yu sighed sincerely.
"Calm down." Babata's voice echoed in Yang Yu's mind. "We are currently on Black Dragon Island, on the edge of the Virtual Universe 'Ganwu Continent'."
"An island?" Yang Yu asked curiously.
"Of course it's the island. The Virtual Universe can be said to cover any part of the universe, and everyone connected to the Virtual Universe Network within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's territory will appear on 'Black Dragon Island' by default, unless you purchase property within the Virtual Universe and configure it to appear in your room."
Babata explained, "Although it's an island, it's still larger than any planet in the real world. After all, most people in the more than 8,000 star systems of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield can't access the internet. You know internet fees are very expensive, especially for people from those primitive civilizations in the Universe Country. They might not be able to afford even one day's internet fee after working for a year."
"I see." Yang Yu said thoughtfully. Indeed, 1 Black Dragon Dollar can be exchanged for 1,000 Silver Blue Dollar. The annual internet fee is 10 Black Dragon Dollar, which is 10,000 Silver Blue Dollar!
On many slave planets, Apprentice Level slaves earn an average of only 10 Black Dragon Dollar from birth to death.
Having come into contact with the universe, Yang Yu also knew that the Slave Trade was not prohibited in the universe!
In other words, as long as you have enough strength and capital, you can buy as many slaves as you want!
These slaves range in strength from the Universe Level Nine to the Apprentice Level, and there are countless types. As long as you have money, you can have almost anything!
This further strengthened Yang Yu's determination to get in touch with the Virtual Universe as soon as possible.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Virtual Universe.
Babata also explained many functions of the Virtual Universe to Yang Yu, which made Yang Yu, who was experiencing the Virtual Universe for the first time, very curious.
It can be said that in the Virtual Universe, you can do almost anything except meet in real life!
Here you can learn martial arts, place orders and buy and sell goods, learn a lot of knowledge, and operate things like securities and futures. You can also link your bank account for spending, play virtual games, and experience 100% realistic games!
"It's precisely because the games here are so realistic that there are countless game developers, so many people become addicted to them, doing nothing but playing virtual games all day! Most of these people end up in terrible situations, Yang Yu, you have to be careful not to do that."
Babata suddenly warned him that he didn't want Yang Yu, whom he had gone to great lengths to bring from space, to become addicted to the game.
"Haha, don't worry, Babata, I know what I'm doing." Yang Yu couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
"That's good. However, while we shouldn't play too many purely virtual games, we can still play some competitive games, interactive training games, or single-player training games, such as 'Trial Tower' and 'Battle Arena'."
Babata said, "Furthermore, I recommend you play many games. They are very helpful for your cultivation. Weren't you already invincible on Earth? But here, there are countless people of the same age and level who are stronger than you! You can fight and spar with them at will. The combat feedback here is exactly the same as in the real world. You can even activate the Origin Law to cultivate here!"
"It's incredible that even the Origin Law can be virtualized!" Yang Yu exclaimed sincerely.
"It's truly incredible, which is why the Virtual Universe Company is ranked among the Five Human Giants, with its strength and status even surpassing many High-level Universe Country."
"Indeed powerful, Babata. Quickly check the current price of Dark Iron Metal on Qiu Long Planet in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. If it's a good deal, let's dispose of all this Darksteel and convert it into money as soon as possible. I want to see how far we are from buying Earth and becoming its Earth Lord."
Yang Yu strolled through the streets of the Virtual Universe and spoke to Babata.
"Hey, no need for you to remind me. I already checked when I came in. Right now, the market price of Darksteel on Qiu Long Planet is about 9 Black Dragon Dollar per ton of B8 Grade refined Dark Iron Essence; about 0.0032 Black Dragon Dollar per ton of A8 Grade ordinary Darksteel; C8 Grade Dark Iron Mother is much more expensive, but the price fluctuates a lot, so we'll have to negotiate in person."
"We have a large amount of Darksteel, so it's worth a lot of money. However, even if we sell all of Darksteel, it's still far from enough to buy the entire Earth. You should be prepared for that."
It's clear that Babata is very concerned about this matter and has basically found out everything.
"But there's no rush. Earth is currently protected by the Space Secret Technique my master set up, so it's safe for the time being. It would take thousands of years to fly there directly from the outside, unless a Natural Wormhole suddenly appears and Space Pirates happen to pass by. But the probability of that is too low to be considered. We can slowly raise funds. After all, the price of buying a top-level Life Planet like Earth is 3 trillion Black Dragon Dollar!"
"3 trillion?" Yang Yu was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this. Selling all that Darksteel would probably not even be enough for a fraction of the price! Fortunately, Earth is safe for the time being. If history does not change, Yang Yu will have more than 40 years to prepare.
If history changes, then it's hard to say for sure.
However, 3 trillion Black Dragon Dollar, which is equivalent to 3 billion Ganwu Dollar, is still far too much for Yang Yu at present.
However, Yang Yu was not in a hurry. He was only at the Planetary Level, and he was Peerless Genius had comprehended the Lightning Origin Law and Fourfold Domain!
The Virtual Universe is so vast, making money there shouldn't be a problem.
"Alas, what a pity. Yang Yu, if you hadn't accepted that inheritance and instead become a personal disciple of my Yunmo Planet, you would have had enough wealth to buy Earth when you reached the Star Level. But unfortunately, this money was left by my master in the Galaxy Bank for his personal disciples. You can't withdraw it without meeting the requirements. If you want to buy Earth, you'll have to rely on yourself. The little money I have is just pocket money."
"It's alright, Babata, I know your difficulties," Yang Yu said gently, but his eyes gradually hardened. "I refuse to believe I can't raise 3 trillion Black Dragon Dollar on my own!"
"Let's exit the Virtual Universe first and go to the place that buys Darksteel to see how much we can sell it for," Yang Yu said, stopping in his tracks and addressing the mini Babata on his shoulder.
"Okay, it's good to exchange it for cash sooner rather than later."
As consciousness returned.
Yang Yu opened his eyes.
Even with Yang Yu's astonishing level of consciousness, it took him some time to fully recover after returning to reality from the virtual world for the first time. "Let's go, let's go now."
"That place is west of Qiu Long City, a shop that specializes in reselling large quantities of supplies," Babata told Yang Yu the exact location.
Yang Yu then left the private room, paid the bill, and took to the air, flying towards the west district.
We arrived at a luxurious store with a large floor area.
"Star Sea Trading Main Store, hmm, that's it." Yang Yu looked at the store name; it was the store that Babata had selected after comparing multiple options through the Virtual Network.
Step inside the store.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a pair of white wings walked over. "Hello sir, how may I help you?"
"I'd like to sell some Dark Iron Essence and Dark Iron Mother, as well as a large quantity of Dark Iron Raw Material. Do you buy them now?" Yang Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, we do. We not only sell all kinds of metal raw materials, but we also buy them. This way, sir, please have a seat. I'll go and fetch our manager right away," said the beautiful White Winged Race girl.
A moment later, a lean man with blue skin and dressed smartly approached. "Hello sir, my name is Zhaluo. May I ask your name?"
"Mr. Zhaluo, you can just call me Yang Yu. I currently have over 30,000 tons of Dark Iron Essence, over 2 tons of Dark Iron Mother, and 9.28 billion tons of Dark Iron Raw Material. I wonder what your purchase price is?" Yang Yu said with a smile.
"Hmm"
Zhaluo didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Yang Yu and the Liquid Silver Guard behind him. He was a little curious why the young man possessed guards worth hundreds of millions of Black Dragon Dollar and why he needed to personally negotiate such a small business deal. But the strange occurrences in the universe were nothing to dwell on, and Zhaluo didn't think much of it, simply saying:
"I'm sure Mr. Yang has compared various options before coming here, so I won't give you a random price. I can offer you 9.1 yuan per ton of Black Dragon Dollar Dark Iron Essence, and we'll buy as much as you have. I can offer you 100,000 yuan per ton of Black Dragon Dollar Dark Iron Mother, and as for the 9.28 billion tons of Dark Iron Raw Material, I can offer you 30 million Black Dragon Dollar!"
"It's a lean man with blue skin, "Zhaluo said with a smile.
"Agree to his offer, Yang Yu. This price is indeed very reasonable," Babata's voice echoed in Yang Yu's mind.
"Mr. Zhaluo's offer is indeed good. Let's go to the planetary ship's docking port to make the transaction. After all, the quantity is too large to fit in our Space Ring," Yang Yu said.
"Okay, let me make the arrangements and we'll go," Zhaluo said.
A few minutes later.
Accompanied by ten Stellar Level Three guards and porters, Zhaluo took Yang Yu aboard a Small Cargo Spaceship and flew towards the Planet Spaceport.
Upon arriving at the spaceship's docking location, Yang Yu presented the Parking Card and then led Zhaluo into the Black Dragon Spaceship's cargo hold.
