Lord of Falling Ink Star Recruits a Talent

This extravagant banquet, which defied conventional wisdom, became the Qidian Tang Ping's explosive wealth.

In just three days, the numbers in his account skyrocketed like they were on an interstellar jump ship. Of the initial capital of 3.5 Hunyuan Unit, 0.5 Hunyuan was decisively invested in the Virtual Universe's GG stream and a hired interstellar online army to create hype. Now, with interest, the principal has grown into 350 Hunyuan Unit.

350 Hunyuan! What does that mean? Even an ordinary Immortal God might not be able to accumulate such a huge fortune even after spending a thousand years hunting and completing life-or-death missions.

As his fingertips traced the numbers flashing on the smart Optical Computer, Tang Ping could still taste the smoky aroma of the Interstellar Demon Sheep Leg and the fiery kick of the Star Wine on his tongue. Only one thought remained in his mind: This is the magic of finance, truly a sure way to make a fortune!

Stock trading is all about expectations, and the Luo Family's expectations have already exceeded all limits.

Everyone can see that in just over two hundred years, Luo Feng has transformed from Star Rank youth in the Genius Tournament into a highly sought-after Domain Lord -level Inspector in this Ganwu Universe Kingdom. At this rate, becoming a world lord or immortal in a thousand years is not out of the question. It is even possible that he will one day join the top structure of the Virtual Universe Company.

The idea of "buying at the bottom" is now growing wildly in the minds of countless powerful and wealthy people, just like the Law Fruit at a banquet.

The only thing that Tang Ping slightly regretted was that the banquet ended too hastily.

If he could delay for another ten days or half a month, he could take Feng Lun and Luo Xiaoyu around a few more times, freeload at a few more tables, and make more "friends" who hold capital.

After all, sharing your path to wealth allows you to earn even more.

Moreover, the fact that the banquet started so quickly is indeed unusual.

It should be known that immortal beings have endless lifespans, and their banquets are often measured in months, or even interstellar feasts that last for several years. However, this banquet at the Luo Family Manor lasted only 18 hours from start to finish.

But then Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. The quick end meant that the Alien Race who coveted Luo Feng hadn't had time to set up assassination traps, and his small frame would be a bit safer.

He knew all too well that to deal with a genius like Luo Feng, who appeared only once every ten million years, the Alien Race would definitely deploy assassins at the level of Immortal God. When such great figures clashed, the aftershocks could easily tear apart a star field, and they, these Universe Level grasshoppers, wouldn't even be left with ashes.

In the plaza, nobles dressed in fine clothes boarded the teleportation array or flying shuttle one after another. Tang Ping smiled and waved goodbye to the several world lords he had just met, while repeatedly rehearsing in his mind how to safely deliver the Nameless Black Stone Tablet to Luo Feng.

That is the Supreme Treasure of the Earthling! It was thanks to it that Luo Feng was able to possess Invincible King Lord stage, and after advancing to the Immortal stage, he was even able to fight against Venerable.

Such a divine object cannot be handled with the slightest carelessness. Tang Ping has been pondering it for days, but when he probed it with his Divine Power, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. When he touched it with his fingertips, he only felt a cold sensation and could not grasp the slightest clue.

"It seems we're truly not meant to be," he sighed to himself.

The next second, a Universe Level waiter dressed in the silver-white uniform of the Virtual Universe Company strode over, the star emblem on the collar of his uniform gleaming with a restrained light.

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. The Inspector General requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, the several realm lords who hadn't gone far immediately stopped in their tracks, their eyes filled with shock.

Keep in mind that at this banquet, many Immortal God only had time to catch a glimpse of Luo Feng, yet these three unknown Universe Level little guys were able to receive a private audience?

The depth of their relationship far exceeded their expectations!

Everyone suddenly remembered Tang Ping's previous recommendation of "Lay Flat Capital," and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs. Those who had hesitated before now activated their Smart Life, their voices trembling. "Contact the family immediately! Use all available funds to buy Lay Flat Capital with all your capital! Hurry!"

Deep within the Luo Family Manor, in a private reception room.

The soundproof barrier completely shuts out the noise from the outside world.

Feng Lun had just emerged from inside, his face still pale. He grabbed Tang Ping's arm, saying with lingering fear, "Third Brother, Lord Luo Feng's aura is terrifying right now. You must restrain yourself when you go in, lest you embarrass our Ganwu Secret Realm."

Tang Ping suddenly paused, sniffing, "Feng Lun, why do you smell strange? It's like—the smell of sweat mixed with a hint of disordered energy."

Feng Lun's signature green face instantly flushed red, and she scratched her head, laughing awkwardly, "W-no, no! I'm probably just sweating from nervousness! I'm at the peak of the Universe Level, only one major realm away from Lord Luo Feng, how could I be scared?"

Tang Ping remained silent, but his words were quite stubborn.

He then took a deep breath and pushed open the alloy door engraved with Falling Ink Star Rune.

The room was dimly lit. A young man in crimson armor stood with his back to him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The flowing runes on his armor resembled burning lava, outlining his tall and solitary figure.

Hearing the noise, he slowly turned around, his deep eyes falling on Tang Ping with a scrutinizing look. "You're the Tang Ping that Babata mentioned? The most outstanding genius in Earth's thousands of years of history, with talent even greater than my older brothers?"

Tang Ping shuddered, as if he were being pressed down by an invisible, heavy weight.

Those pupils held no warmth whatsoever, only an endless murderous aura accumulated from mountains of corpses Blood Sea, as if capable of devouring one's very soul. Fortunately, he had honed his willpower for several years in the Ice Cold Cavern of the Journey Secret Realm.

Although the killing intent was intense, it wasn't enough to break him. Moreover, until now, unless tempted by beautiful women, his mind had always remained as steady as a rock.

After a moment, Tang Ping finally calmed down and looked up to see Luo Feng's appearance clearly.

The boy stood backlit, his wispy bangs obscuring his eyes and brows, revealing only his sharply defined jawline. His fierce and arrogant aura was overwhelming, making one involuntarily want to bow down and submit.

"Tang Ping greets the patriarch!" He dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly cupped his hands and bowed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.

Since possessing the Golden Horned Beast after the life-or-death battle on Earth, the boundless killing intent brought by this pinnacle cosmic bloodline has often been difficult for even him to fully control.

Apart from Xu Xin, everyone else in the family was inevitably a little intimidated when facing him. As his cultivation deepened, this killing intent grew stronger. Even a genius like Feng Lun couldn't help but tremble, but this kid was able to regain his composure in an instant.

What's even more remarkable is that Tang Ping is only thirty-eight years old this year, yet he has already reached the peak of the Universe Level, Law Comprehension is even comparable to his older brothers Hong and Thunder God, who are hundreds of years old.

With such talent, if Babata hadn't used special methods to help him hide it, he would have been poached by the Virtual Universe Company long ago and become a core disciple of the Doomsday Secret Realm.

In order to conceal Earth's special nature, this child did suffer some injustice. And Earth, precisely, needs talent like this.

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then softened his tone. "Tang Ping, you are quite good. Earth's foundation in the universe is too shallow; we must cultivate more strong individuals as soon as possible."

"Therefore, as the Lord of Yunmo Planet, I will transfer you from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple. Are you willing?"

Tang Ping suddenly looked up, overjoyed. "Having spent half my life wandering, I am fortunate to have been taken care of by the Luo Family! I will obey the orders of the family head, even at the cost of my life!"

Luo Feng:...

Something about this statement just doesn't feel right.
