Swallowed Star: Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Joining the Chat Group

Black Kun City, Virtual Universe Company.

"Sir, how may I help you?"

A beautiful, demi-human woman with a swaying fox tail asked with a smile.

"Open an anonymous account."

A normal Virtual Universe account requires citizenship to open.

In the universe, some Planet Lord or powerful figures will purchase anonymous accounts for their descendants to use, allowing them to access the cosmic network world in advance, thereby broadening their horizons and so on.

"Sir, the anonymous account has a fixed validity period of 100 years, and each account costs 2000 Black Dragon Coin, or 1.6 Ganwu Coin."

The demi-human beauty explained.

"I need 20 anonymous accounts and 20 consciousness-sensing helmets, linked together."

After paying the Ganwu Coin, Jiang Li directly put the twenty sensor heads into his Space Ring.

In a place like Virtual Universe Company, displaying Space Ring wouldn't attract the attention of the staff, after all, it's a super human power.

In places like the mercenary castle, where all sorts of people mingle, you have to be a little more careful.

Afterwards, Jiang Li went to a branch of the Universe First Bank to open his personal account. Unlike human account passwords, the Universe Bank uses mental power for verification.

After returning to the Demon.

Jiang Li couldn't wait to enter the Virtual Universe, and Babata also seemed very excited.

After putting on the consciousness helmet, a mysterious feeling arose.

"Initiating connection to the Virtual Universe..."

A deep and resounding voice echoed in Jiang Li's consciousness.

Pushing aside the darkness, his virtual body appeared in an ancient city, where the passersby on the streets had different appearances and came from various races.

Most of them were dressed in simple gray clothes, and each had an elf perched on their shoulder.

"Truly amazing!"

Jiang Li stood on the street, a hint of curiosity on his face.

"We are now in the Virtual Universe, on the Ganwu Continent, specifically in the Mercenary Ancient City of Black Dragon Mountain Island."

Babata checked the relevant information and said in Jiang Li's consciousness, "Everyone who connects to the Virtual Universe Network within the territory of the Ganwu Universe Country will appear directly on the Ganwu Continent."

"Anyone who enters the Virtual Universe Network will be assigned a 'virtual assistant,' which is the little sprite on their shoulder."

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

"In the Virtual Universe Network, you can chat with friends billions of light-years away, or you can pay to teleport and meet them in the Virtual Universe Network."

"Furthermore, you can learn martial arts, place orders, buy and sell... beautiful women, and so on—it has everything."

Babata explained in detail, "The Virtual Universe Network is larger than any country, and it gathers all the human elites in the universe. Ideas that are impossible in reality can be realized in the Virtual Universe Network as long as you have enough wealth!"

"Some people mistake the virtual world for reality, becoming hopelessly addicted to the virtual world for countless years."

That's not surprising.

The loss of loved ones or family members can be perfectly simulated and recreated in the Virtual Universe Network.

Obsession can lead to ruin, making one prefer to live in a virtual world rather than wake up from the illusion.

"Virtual games are the same; they are extremely addictive."

As a long-time gamer, Babata felt it necessary to give Jiang Li a reminder.

"Hmm, Babata, let's find out how much it costs to become a Lord of Blue Star first?" Jiang Li's primary goal in joining the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was to become a Lord of Blue Star.

In this way, even if Blue Star is exposed to the sights of cosmic forces, it can still receive a certain degree of protection.

After all, a powerful force is behind Blue Star, so it is bound to be watched.

Jiang Li roughly remembered the conditions, but the amount was a bit vague.

"Found it!"

Babata's search speed was fast. "Just buy the planet. Since you discovered it, it will only cost a small amount!"

"Depending on the planet's level, the minimum payment for purchasing a planet is 300 billion Black Dragon Coin, and the maximum is 3 trillion Black Dragon Coin!"

Upon hearing this...

Even someone as strong as Jiang Li couldn't help but gasp.

He now has only 617 Ganwu Coin left, not even enough to cover his entire fortune.

Chapter 149. An Impossible Mission?

149.

"Jiang Li, I have three solutions!"

Seeing Jiang Li hesitate, Babata couldn't help but reveal his two fangs and laugh, "The first option is to sell the ' Immortal Slayer ' sword you have."

"The second option is for you to change your mind, kowtow nine times to your master, and become his personal disciple. In that case, you can naturally inherit his estate!"

"The last one..."

"It's just a chance to try my luck at the Mercenary Alliance, to develop barren planets, explore galactic secrets, and maybe I'll get some unexpected gains."

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Li nodded. "Then let's go with the last one!"

After exiting the Virtual Universe Network, Jiang Li went directly to the Red Mercenary Castle.

The Red Mercenary Castle is completely different from the Green and Yellow ones. It covers an area of over 500 square kilometers, which would be comparable to the size of Yangzhou City if it were located on Blue Star.

On Black Kun Star, however, this was merely one branch of the Mercenary Alliance.

"Sir, would you like to post a task or view existing tasks?"

Upon entering the Red Mercenary Castle, a green-skinned woman in a red robe approached and asked, "To post a quest, please go to the fifth floor. To view quests within the Red Castle, you need to pay Ganwu Coin..."

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Li was speechless.

Is it really necessary to charge for simply viewing tasks?

"Jiang Li, the Mercenary Alliance assigns personnel to various castles based on the mission's star rating. For example, the highest-level Black Castle is so prestigious that even those below the Immortal don't have the qualifications to enter."

Babata's voice echoed in Jiang Li's consciousness.

"Um."

Jiang Li nodded.

Every power has its own way of making a living. For example, the Virtual Universe Company charges an astonishing amount of 'internet fees' every hundred years.

After paying the consultation fee, the green-skinned woman led him to a metal room on the second floor, which was filled with technological equipment that Jiang Li couldn't understand.

"Sir, once you put on the consciousness helmet, you will be able to access all red-level missions."

In the vast expanse of space, within the renowned Void Region of the Milky Way Galaxy galaxy.

A silver, saucer-shaped spaceship is approaching the Blue Star at an astonishing speed.

Inside the spaceship.

A burly crew member, covered in black hair and resembling a chimpanzee, asked with some concern, "Captain, now that the family's warships have arrived in the Void Region, will the family try to seize your profits?"

"Snort!"

The handsome spaceship captain snorted and said, "Although my relationship with my grandfather is rather strained, he's not the kind of person who would do something like that!"

"Captain, it would be best to be careful. After all, the inhabited planet we're heading to has been occupied by an invincible powerhouse for countless years!"

Another beautiful and graceful woman with cat ears said worriedly, "The value of this is immeasurable!"

"Faced with enormous profits, it's not surprising that fathers and sons would break ties, and brothers would turn against each other!"

Upon hearing this...

The handsome spaceship captain glanced at the other crew members and assured them, "Don't worry, everyone. No matter what, our Universe Adventurer team's interests will definitely not be compromised. After all, you are my brothers and sisters who have shared life and death with me!!"

With the captain's assurance, the crew members felt somewhat relieved.

"Once we arrive on the inhabited planet, we'll immediately begin sampling and data collection. Then we can use the ' Virtual Universe Network ' to find buyers. The family has only just entered the Void Region; it will take them at least another three hundred days. They can't possibly be faster than us!"

The captain asked confidently, "Atuka, how much longer until we reach that habitable planet?"

"Reporting to the captain!"

A child's head appeared on the console and replied, "We will arrive in one hundred days!"

"Very good!

All the crew members showed joy.

Their eyes were all fixed greedily on the simulated blue planet on the spaceship.

On the other side.

Jiang Li, wearing the consciousness helmet, couldn't help but gasp slightly, feeling as if he were in a sea of missions.

"The red mission involves nearly three trillion?"

"The number of missions within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire alone exceeds seven billion?!"

Let alone accepting a mission, just reading through the corresponding missions would probably take hundreds of years.

"Transportation, Development, Exploration, Mystery Realm... Trial?"

Looking at the categories that resembled a 3D projection, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Mercenary Alliance even has trial-type missions?"
