"Sir, here are your secret manuals. All the content has been downloaded onto this chip. Only you can open and view it. Please be sure to abide by the confidentiality agreement and do not leak it." The Green-haired Supervisor handed it over with a smile while carrying a silver case.

"I understand." The case disappeared the moment it reached Su Ke's hand. He then looked at the supervisor, "I also need to buy some weapons and battle suits."

"May I ask what kind you are looking for?" The supervisor asked with a smile.

Su Ke said, "First, prepare a decent Tier 2 Force Weapon for each of these two subordinates of mine."

Su Ke said to the two guards behind him, "Come over and pick out what suits you, then contact the twelve Stellar Rank individuals on the spaceship and ask them what weapons they need."

This was something Su Ke had already considered.

The strength of his slave guards was tied to his own life, so naturally, he could not skimp on them.

For a powerhouse... the most important things were weapons, battle suits, and secret techniques, followed by everything else.

All of his Stellar Rank subordinates had to be equipped with Tier 2 Force Weapons.

As for Tier 2 Force Battle Suits, only the two Stellar Rank Level 9s, the two Stellar Rank Level 8s, as well as himself and his parents would have them.

In fact, the two Stellar Rank Level 8 Psychic Masters were bodyguards prepared for his parents.

For the others, Su Ke planned to give them Alloy Battle Suits.

Weapons and battle suits were divided into Ordinary, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5!

Ordinary ones had almost no amplification effect and were very cheap. Tier 1 Force Weapons could unleash the maximum combat power of a Planetary Rank. Tier 2 Force Weapons were sufficient for Stellar Rank use... while Tier 5 was for World Lords.

Force Battle Suits could cover the entire body according to one's will, but the level of defense of a Force Battle Suit was related to the level of "Force." The stronger the Force, the stronger the defense of the Force Battle Suit. The price of these Force Battle Suits was extremely high, comparable to Telepathic Weapons and the like.

Alloy Battle Suits had an exterior made of alloy and the like; the technical content was very low, much like wearing a large suit of armor. They were cheap, but the disadvantage was... Alloy Battle Suits had many "loopholes" and could not protect the entire body one hundred percent.

"Yes, Master." Khair and Lyumila behind Su Ke did not expect their master to be willing to buy them such expensive weapons, and both revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

Among "Tier 2 weapons," the most expensive could cost hundreds of millions, while the cheapest were only a few million—a hundredfold difference!

If it were a Telepathic Weapon, it would be even more expensive. A Psychic Master could only unleash their maximum combat power with a Telepathic Weapon. However, Telepathic Weapons were very complex to manufacture, so the price was also very high. A top-grade Tier 2 Telepathic Weapon could cost as much as several billion, more expensive than a low-grade Tier 3 Telepathic Weapon.

After careful selection, the Martial Artist Khair obtained a top-grade Tier 2 Force Battle Blade, priced at 1.2 billion, and the Psychic Master Lyumila obtained a top-grade Tier 2 Telepathic Weapon, priced at 5 billion.

Adding up to 6.2 billion, Su Ke had spent a fortune.

Su Ke also took the opportunity to buy himself a top-grade Tier 2 Force Battle Blade as a backup, priced at 950 million.

The two Stellar Rank Level 8 Psychic Masters received high-grade Tier 2 Telepathic Weapons, which also cost as much as 1 billion each.

Plus seven expensive Tier 2 Force Battle Suits, counting 1 billion each...

The five Stellar Rank Level 1 Martial Artists and five Stellar Rank Level 1 Psychic Masters also received Tier 2 Force Weapons and Telepathic Weapons, though they were the most ordinary ones: Tier 2 low-grade Telepathic Weapons at 40 million each, and Tier 2 Force Weapons at 5 million each, totaling 225 million—surprisingly more expensive than the price of buying these slaves.

Considering that these slaves were still very young (Stellar Rank Level 1) and loyal, and could continue to cultivate and become stronger in the future, he bought them.

Anyway, if the weapons weren't used, they could be sold to others later.

The weapons and battle suits for the remaining 1,000 Planetary Rank Level 9s were not worth much, and were treated as freebies.

Including the discount, the final deal was settled at 16 billion.

Seeing the way Lyumila and the other held their weapons with affection, Su Ke sighed inwardly.

In the few days since arriving at Purple Phoenix Planet, money had truly flowed like water: buying slaves, buying a spaceship, buying a Space Ring, buying cultivation resources, secret manuals, weapons, and battle suits... he had spent over 72.1 billion all at once!

It seemed like less than a tenth of his net worth, but Su Ke was still planning to buy a planet to make money, as well as for his future Stellar Rank cultivation—that was the real place where money would be burned!

One trillion really didn't last long.

Later at Treasure Studio, Su Ke also saw the legendary Moyun Vine. He was very surprised at the time, but unfortunately... a Moyun Vine seed cost 50 million! If a Moyun Vine seed could be sprouted and cultivated into a seedling! Each seedling was worth hundreds of billions.

Because it was very difficult for a seed to survive and be cultivated into a seedling! And it was not difficult for a seedling to grow to "Universe Rank," for example... it only needed to eat enough "Muya Crystals" to reach Universe Rank. The value of a Universe Rank powerhouse was self-evident, although the cost of cultivation was extremely high. Yet, the price of a Moyun Vine seedling remained expensive.

Although Su Ke was very tempted, he gave up. He could afford a Moyun Vine seedling, but he couldn't afford to cultivate it.

With those conditions, it was better to use them on himself.

The huge docking port of Purple Phoenix Planet was divided into several major areas. In the C Rank area, every spaceship and warship was incredibly expensive.

Inside the control room of a C6-Class saucer-shaped ash-gray spaceship, Su Ke, dressed in black, sat on the spacious and comfortable captain's seat, letting two beautiful Planetary Rank maids massage him. He gently swirled the wine glass in his hand; the golden liquid in the transparent glass rippled, reflecting his deep and hazy red eyes. Behind him stood a row of imposing Stellar Rank slaves in perfect formation.

"Tsk tsk, I came here on a cheap A Rank spaceship without even enough money for the return trip, but now I own a C6-Class spaceship, and all of you." With his white hair disheveled and his eyes like sparkling gems emitting a soul-stirring red glow, Su Ke now possessed a certain aura!

"I've been out for half a month; it's time to go back." Su Ke ordered the spaceship's Smart AI.

"Depart."

The spaceship started and ascended, rushing out of the atmosphere and into the starry sky.

In the spaceship's control room, he looked at the beautiful starry sky outside through the virtual exterior view.

"Truly beautiful." Su Ke smiled.

"Master, the destination has been confirmed. Arrival is expected in 180 hours." As a cold and sweet voice rang out, a girl appeared on the giant screen in front of the control room, wearing a gothic black and white maid outfit, with long straight black hair, two animal ears on her head, and an incredibly beautiful and moving face.

"Let's go." Su Ke nodded.

A huge gray saucer-shaped spaceship accelerated in the starry sky. When it reached the speed of light, the already blurred spaceship suddenly vanished as space rippled slightly!

The cosmic jump was successful; it had entered the "Dark Universe."

In a silent stretch of starry space a great distance from Purple Phoenix Planet, a commercial spacecraft was likewise traveling through the Dark Universe.

"Honey, how do you think our son is doing back home?" Eris, dressed in her employee uniform, fretted.

Although they could meet from time to time through the Virtual Universe, she still felt a bit worried.

The tall and burly Su Kai comforted his wife. "Don't worry, that kid is on Moon River Planet; he won't easily run into trouble."

He was right; it was actually people like them, who frequently traveled back and forth across the stars by ship, who were more prone to encountering trouble and danger, such as the various hazards filling the starry void or attacks from space pirates.

Eris stopped speaking, lowered her head to bite her lip, and reached out to touch her belly.
