The flight speed of Star Level powerhouses is quite fast, and soon, Tang Ping and the others saw a massive building carved in the shape of a black dragon coiled around a high mountain.

This was the office building for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Dragon-Qiu Star. At the entrance, two burly guards with bronze-colored skin, nearly six meters tall, stood watch.

"Hmm? Six Star Level powerhouses?" The two guards smiled and enthusiastically pushed open the doors. "Please, gentlemen, come in."

After a casual glance at the directory in the lobby detailing the functions of each floor, Tang Ping and his group quickly found the floor they needed.

The group walked over to a circular sofa nearby and sat down.

"32!"

Following the command, beep! The tray beneath the circular sofa emitted a white glow.

It shot upward instantly without the slightest tremor, and when it came to a stop, they had already arrived at the 32nd floor.

"Greetings, gentlemen," a beautiful woman flew over and smiled. "Is there anything I can assist you with today?"

"We would like to apply for Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship," Tang Ping said with a smile.

"Citizenship?" The receptionist was slightly surprised. In this day and age, who didn't have citizenship? Especially since the group before her all radiated the aura of Star Level powerhouses.

"Sir, please head to the left, the second-to-last room at the very end." Although curious, the receptionist knew what should and shouldn't be asked, so she smiled and directed Tang Ping and his group to the place where citizenship was processed.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Please, come in."

Tang Ping pushed the door open and entered, with his brothers following closely behind.

The citizenship process was quite efficient, and soon, each of the brothers had received their first official identification documents in the universe.

With their status as citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, many things became possible; as the saying goes, one can barely move an inch without proper identification.

"Babata, where can I open an account for the Virtual Universe Network?" Tang Ping had been most looking forward to this since arriving in this world: the Virtual Universe!

Soon, under Babata's guidance, the group arrived at the branch of the Virtual Universe Company in Qiu Long City.

"Greetings, gentlemen, how may I be of service?" Just like at the Black Dragon Mountain Empire office, another beautiful woman with a lovely face and wearing a uniform greeted Tang Ping and his group. In the universe, beautiful women were the one thing never in short supply.

"I want to open an account," Tang Ping said directly.

"For account opening services, how much would you like to pay for the Virtual Universe Network fee upfront? There are three tiers: 100 years, 1,000 years, and 10,000 years. The annual network fee is 10 Black Dragon Coins or 0.008 Ganwu Coins," the receptionist recited in a practiced, routine manner.

After the brothers finished opening their accounts, Luo Feng requested 10 additional anonymous accounts and 10 consciousness-sensing helmets. Tang Ping knew what he intended to use them for and didn't interfere; it wasn't his money being spent, after all.

In a casual restaurant in Qiu Long City, the group entered a highly private booth. Once the waiter had served the dishes, Tang Ping and the others dismissed him.

Click! They locked the booth door from the inside.

"Enter the Virtual Universe," Luo Feng, Tang Ping, and the others commanded Babata and his sub-intelligences.

"Connecting to the Virtual Universe..." A deep, vast voice echoed within Tang Ping's consciousness.

This was an ancient city. The passersby on the streets had strange appearances, varying heights, and belonged to different races, yet most wore simple gray clothing, and each person had a small sprite perched on their shoulder.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six people appeared abruptly on the street—it was Tang Ping and his group.

They were all dressed in simple gray clothing, with fist-sized demons—Babata—sitting on their shoulders. However, only the one on Luo Feng's shoulder was the main body; the others were merely Babata's sub-intelligences.

Under Babata's introduction, the group quickly learned about many of the common functions of the Virtual Universe.

After a novel experience, the group reluctantly chose to log out for the time being; after all, they were still in the restaurant booth.

As their consciousness returned to reality, Tang Ping and the others began to sample the delicacies of the universe.

"This taste... it's a bit strange, but upon closer inspection, it has a unique flavor," Tang Ping said after tasting a dish placed in front of him.

"Hmm... it's indeed quite different from the dishes back home, but the taste is still quite good," the chubby Li Ze replied while eating heartily.

"I think this dish is good."

"This one is alright, too."

"This one isn't great; at least, I don't like it."

The brothers engaged in a lively debate over the cosmic cuisine.

After eating and drinking their fill, the brothers left the restaurant booth.

"Where to next?" Luo Feng asked Babata.

"Universe Galaxy Bank."

"Oh? Are we going to withdraw the money from the first account the master left for me?" Babata had long since told Luo Feng that Hu Yanbo had left three accounts for him. Now that Luo Feng was at the Star Level, he could naturally go and withdraw the funds from the first account.

The Universe Galaxy Bank was not far from there. Like the Virtual Universe Company branch, it was located in the very heart of this bustling city—a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

Walking through the towering gates of the Universe Galaxy Bank, they waited in line. Soon, it was Tang Ping and Luo Feng's turn. While Tang Ping and the others were only there to open accounts, Luo Feng also needed to withdraw the first portion of the inheritance Hu Yanbo had left him.

Soon, the group finished their business and gathered together once more.

"Let's find a safe place first." They understood the principle of not flaunting wealth; the bank lobby was clearly not the place to discuss such matters.

In a high-end hotel, inside a room with high privacy, Luo Feng took out his communicator and performed a few operations. Soon, everyone received a transfer of funds from Luo Feng.

"One billion Ganwu Coins!" Little fatty Li Ze jumped up in surprise. Having gained a preliminary understanding of the universe over the course of the day, he naturally understood what one billion Ganwu Coins represented.

"Mm, Teacher Hu Yanbo left ten billion Ganwu Coins in the first account. Aside from the money reserved for buying Earth in the future, we brothers will split the rest equally," Luo Feng said with great composure.

"Uh... that was all left to you alone by the teacher. You could have just given us a little something as a gesture; there was no need to split it equally," little fatty Li Ze said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Wealth is merely an external possession. Besides, haven't we brothers always split our spoils equally?" Luo Feng replied, not caring in the slightest.

He had been part of Tang Ping's squad for several years now. Every time the brothers went out hunting together, the spoils were always split equally. Joining Yunmo Planet was, by all rights, also a joint operation, so the spoils should be split equally as well.

He had no choice but to take the spot as the personal disciple for himself, but in Luo Feng's view, he certainly could not continue to monopolize this inheritance. Furthermore, he felt he owed his brothers a great deal for the massive stroke of fortune that was possessing the Golden Horned Behemoth.

Therefore, it wasn't just the ten billion Ganwu Coins in this first account; no matter how much money remained in the other two accounts, Luo Feng had already made up his mind to split it equally with his brothers.
