Cruel Universe, Sign Up for the Survival Competition!

Zhaluo looked at the warehouse piled high with blood-red Dark Iron Mother, Deep Red Dark Iron Essence, and a huge amount of ordinary Darksteel, and was secretly delighted. If this deal was successful, he could get a lot of commission.

Zhaluo operated one of the instruments in his hand, scanned them all, and then smiled and said, "They are indeed all high-quality Darksteel. Shall we proceed with the transaction based on the previous price?"

"Okay, let's go with the price we just discussed." Yang Yu told Zhaluo his account number at Black Dragon Bank.

After Zhaluo performed some operations, a payment notification appeared on Yang Yu's arm- Optical Brain:

[Black Dragon Bank]: Your account ending in gxcc9577 has received a transfer of 30.54 million Black Dragon Dollar, and your account balance is now 30.64 million Black Dragon Dollar.

"Received the transfer, happy transaction," Yang Yu said, shaking hands with Zhaluo.

"Pleasant transaction, Mr. Yang. We hope you'll choose us again next time," Zhaluo said with a smile.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

After watching the ten first- Star Level 1 Martial Artist load all the Darksteel onto Small Cargo Spaceship, Yang Yu hitched a ride with them back to Qiu Long City.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhaluo, Yang Yu left with his Liquid Silver Guard and headed towards another shop within Qiu Long City.

Trading within the Qiu Long Planet Interior is quite safe.

Of course, this is on the premise that you don't bring out any treasures that would make others envious.

Otherwise, no matter how comprehensive the laws are, they only constrain rational people.

This is also why Yang Yu chose to trade at the Planet Spaceport. Otherwise, Space Ring that can hold so much Darksteel would be incredibly valuable, even a Domain Lord would be envious. If exposed, he might lose his life.

Yang Yu's current strength is only at the Planetary Level, so naturally he wouldn't risk his life.

"Only 30 million Black Dragon Dollar? It's not even a fraction of 3 trillion."

Strolling through the bustling shopping mall, Yang Yu felt a little troubled.

Next, Yang Yu visited the Slave Market on Qiu Long Planet, where he saw slaves from various races in the universe.

These slaves varied in strength and appearance, and attentive slave traders would even customize slaves according to the client's requirements.

Of course, this is all on the premise that you have enough money!

Here, money can buy everything!

Even Apprentice Level 9, a female slave with unparalleled beauty, is only worth 30 Black Dragon Dollar.

A beautiful woman at the Planetary Level One is worth 5000 Black Dragon Dollar.

The price of a beautiful woman at the Star Level 1 has skyrocketed to tens of millions of Black Dragon Dollar! Of course, an ordinary Star Level 1 male Martial Artist isn't that expensive, usually around 1 million Black Dragon Dollar.

These Star Level female slaves are not only stunningly beautiful, but also absolutely obedient to commands, fulfilling any request from their buyers. Moreover, they possess extraordinary strength; buying one of them could completely replace Yang Yu in guarding Earth for decades!

Unfortunately, Yang Yu's money is limited right now, and he can't afford high-level Star Level slaves for the time being. It's better not to buy low-level ones for now.

After examining the prices of slaves at various strength levels in detail, Yang Yu discovered that slaves below the Planetary Level were priced at around 10 Black Dragon Dollar, while those at the Planetary Level were priced at around 10,000, and those at the Star Level 5 soared to around 100 million.

Moreover, at the same level, the price of Spirit Reader's slave is generally three times that of Martial Artist.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if a woman is exceptionally beautiful, is Martial Artist and Spirit Reader, has a unique race, and has high potential, then the price may fluctuate.

However, the approximate range is as Yang Yu just learned.

As for Universe Level slaves, this slave shop doesn't have any yet. After inquiring, I learned that a Universe Level 1 slave is worth at least 10 trillion Black Dragon Dollar, which is 10 billion Ganwu Dollar!

Yang Yu was speechless; this was much more expensive than Earth.

Indeed, as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want in the universe!

Of course, the problem now is that there isn't enough money.

"I never expected that the first big thing I'd do since arriving in the universe would be make money," Yang Yu thought to himself, feeling a pang of frustration.

Of course, if you're not in a hurry to buy Earth, the purchasing power of 30 million Black Dragon Dollar isn't bad; you can buy quite a few good things.

Moreover, Yang Yu has now broken through to the Planetary Level, Soul Devour Secret Technique has not yet been put to use.

However, Yang Yu already had a preliminary idea about this, and he was just waiting for the right opportunity to raise his soul strength and comprehension at the Planetary Level stage to the limit of this stage as soon as possible.

The implementation of this plan is not far off.

In fact, Yang Yu could have directly purchased a thousand Planetary Level slaves, killed them, and devoured their True Spirit Essence. However, most of the slaves captured were Human Race who were permanently enslaved.

They were already pitiful enough. Although Yang Yu couldn't be called a saint, he couldn't bring himself to buy them to kill the Soul Devourers. After all, there were many Planetary Level beings in the universe, and it wasn't necessary to kill slaves. Of course, if they provoked him, Yang Yu wouldn't hold back either.

While browsing in the slave market, Yang Yu discovered a hunting Survival Competition that was very popular in Qiu Long City.

The competition is called 'Survivor'!

Participants only need to be below Planetary Level Nine strength, pay 10,000 Black Dragon Dollar, and sign an agreement to register!

The competition was very simple.

That means that a certain Wilderness Canyon will be designated outside Qiu Long City, and 10,000 Fierce Beast are extremely hostile to humans will be released there. These Fierce Beast will all be at the Planetary Level Nine.

Yang Yu learned that these Fierce Beasts were similar to Monsters on Earth, but their Monsters was far greater.

The organizers will then release 100 participants who have registered for the game, and count the surviving participants three days later.

A live stream will be held simultaneously, and betting will be available!

The last surviving participants will receive a share of the prize pool based on the number of Fierce Beast they killed!

Those outside the venue receive prize money based on their bets.

Based on past practice, the prize pool usually accumulates to between 100 billion and 300 billion Black Dragon Dollar, and the number of survivors will never exceed ten!

With a near 90% mortality rate, the high mortality rate naturally translates to high rewards. If only one survivor remains, that person will receive 10% of the prize pool.

That's at least 10 billion Black Dragon Dollar!

Although this amount of money is still far from enough to buy the Earth, with it, Yang Yu can do a lot. He can not only purchase a considerable number of high-level Star Level slaves, but also buy a large number of treasures to increase his cultivation speed and accelerate energy accumulation.

Most importantly, this opportunity allows for unrestrained combat and the Planetary Level Fierce Beast for free, thereby elevating one's soul strength and comprehension to the current limit.

Yang Yu can also bet on himself!

According to Yang Yu's understanding, this 'Survivor' competition is held every six months and is extremely popular. From powerful figures to ordinary residents, everyone in Qiu Long City pays attention to this game, and most people place bets on their favorite contestants, hoping to make a fortune if they win.

That's why the prize pool has accumulated to such a high amount, and the person in charge of organizing this game is a big shot in Qiu Long City.

According to rumors Virtual Network, the organizer and the Qiu Long City Lord have a close relationship, so both credibility and prize redemption are guaranteed.

Yang Yu's current strength is only at the second Martial Artist of the Planetary Level Two, Spirit Reader Moyun Vine is at the Planetary Level 3.

Such apparent strength offers no chance of victory among participants who are almost all at the Planetary Level Nine, so naturally the odds would be the highest!

Yang Yu is planning to bet heavily on himself once, and then make a fortune!

With Yang Yu now having crossed the threshold of the Lightning Origin Law, plus the Domain Fourth Level, and the Thunder Blade First Form Third Layer as Spiritual Weapon, it would be easy for him to persist to the end.

Walking down the street, Yang Yu looked at the information of previous participants and compared it to his own.

In the end, I realized that this game was essentially just giving me free money.

Even Babata praised Yang Yu for his good luck, because the game was going to be held in two days!

Their plan was to stay on Qiu Long Planet for a maximum of three to five days, which would not interfere with their travel arrangements.

Since it was still early, Yang Yu went directly to the registration location for the 'Survivor Competition' based on the address on the advertisement.

The registration point here is located at the entrance of a luxury hotel.

The place was already packed with people; Yang Yu glanced around and saw that there were people of all races.

However, very few people stepped forward to sign up. It seems that although the prize money for those who persevere to the end is very generous, the extremely high mortality rate still deters many people.

After all, the presence of ten thousand Fierce Beast and other equally dangerous competitors kept most people rational.

Yang Yu squeezed through the crowd and approached a beautiful woman with pointed ears. "Hello, I'd like to register for the Survivor Competition. Please help me register."

The beautiful young female staff member, who looked almost identical to Earthling Humans except for her slightly pointed ears, looked at Yang Yu with some surprise, because her Optical Brain showed that Yang Yu's strength was only at the Planetary Level Two.

While someone with that level of skill wouldn't be ineligible to apply, their chances of survival are simply too low.

"Well, although I'd love to fill the 100 spots as soon as possible, I have to remind you, sir, that your strength is only at the Planetary Level Two. It's far too dangerous for you to participate in this game with that kind of strength; you'd almost certainly not survive to the end. You might want to reconsider."

The pretty girl with pointed ears kindly reminded her.

The onlookers burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"Oh my god! What am I seeing? A Planetary Level Two cultivator dares to sign up for a Survival Competition with a mortality rate of over 90%? Did he just escape from some barbaric and backward planet?"

A man over four meters tall, with Green-Haired Punk on his head and two pairs of bull horns, was talking wildly to his companion. "He thinks such a high reward is free? I can't wait to see him being torn to shreds by that Fierce Beast."

"Haha, yeah, I really don't know which small place they came from. They're so greedy for money." The Green-Haired Punk Minotaur's companion, a lean man over three meters tall with scales on his forehead, also laughed.

Most of the other onlookers had the same expression.

Only the pretty female staff member with pointed ears kindly advised Yang Yu not to act impulsively.

Yang Yu merely glanced at the unrestrained mockers, his confident aura instantly silencing most of them. Only the Minotaur and the fish-scaled man continued their taunts, oblivious to their impending doom.

"Little Jier, if he really dares to sign up, then we'll send him to the jaws of the Fierce Beast in the Wilderness Canyon as soon as possible!" Clearly, the two Green-Haired Punk Minotaur had also signed up for the game.

Yang Yu glanced at the data displayed on the Optical Brain. The Green-Haired Punk- Minotaur was a Planetary Level Nine Spirit Reader, while the fish-scaled man was a Planetary Level Nine Martial Artist.

"That's right, Brother Nuoci is right. If this Planetary Level Two kid actually dares to sign up, we'll make sure he dies on the very first day!"

Faced with this blatant threat, Yang Yu simply smiled calmly, "I'm definitely signing up!"

"Beautiful lady, here is 10,000 Black Dragon Dollar. Please register me."

"Whoosh!"

Upon hearing Yang Yu's words, the onlookers immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"What a daring fellow! I wonder which family's kid ran away as soon as he came of age. It's a pity he's going to die in some nobody's corner," sighed an old man.

"Hmph, Ms. Sela, agree to him!" The Green-Haired Punk Minotaur Nuoci Notts quickly urged, thinking that the more arrogant brats like him who signed up, the greater their chances of making it to the end!

The staff member Sela ignored the Minotaur and looked at Yang Yu again, saying, "Once you sign up, you can't back out, or you'll be forcibly thrown into Wilderness Canyon, and your life or death will be irrelevant."

"Sela, Ms. Sera, I'm sure!" Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Alright, here's the agreement. Sign it and put your fingerprint on it to complete your registration." Sela took the 10,000 Black Dragon Dollar from Yang Yu and took out an agreement that was more than ten pages thick.

After reading it through once and confirming that it was roughly the same as what he had learned before, Yang Yu signed it.

"Ms. Sela, please accept this."

"Okay, your Yang Yu, right? From now on, you can't wander around. You can only move within the area of this hotel behind us. Once you go outside the hotel area, it will be considered as an early forfeit. At that time, we will take coercive measures to control your personal freedom and throw you into the canyon to force you to participate in the game when the time comes."

Sela repeated a key point highlighted in the agreement, noting that Yang Yu was not very old and trying her best to remind him.

"Okay, Ms. Sela, then wish me luck."

Yang Yu said with a smile, while glancing at the Green-Haired Punk Minotaur and the fish-scaled man who had just mocked and threatened him, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Then they walked towards the luxury hotel behind them.

This hotel is the one hosted by the competition organizers. All participants will stay here after registering until the competition.

After checking in, Yang Yu went straight to his room.

One interesting point in the agreement was that after participating in the competition, each participant could only bring their own weapons and auxiliary Plant Life or Metal Lifeform, and was not allowed to bring bodyguards or guards. Moreover, once they participated, it was not forbidden for the participants to fight each other!

This is also what makes this competition dangerous. After all, the intelligence of Planetary Level Fierce Beast is not very high, and they are even inferior to the Lord Monster on Earth. As long as the contestants are clever, the area of that Wilderness Canyon is not small. According to the agreement, it is about 300 kilometers in radius. If they are lucky, they may be able to survive for three days.

But human nature is the most complex thing.

Because the more people who survive, the less prize money each person will receive.

Therefore, many people will intentionally or unintentionally eliminate the other contestants, so that as few people as possible will survive to the end.

This also means that people who are not confident in their abilities generally won't sign up to participate.

After all, only by surviving can one have the chance to win the prize money!
