Automaton Race Spaceship

After settling Luo Feng, Tang Ping used the same tactics to hoodwink his other brothers one by one. He led them to believe that he had only just learned about the Peak Genius Competition after breaking through to the Universe Level, rather than having intentionally avoided joining them.

Having finished fooling his brothers and offering a few perfunctory words of encouragement about focusing on the comprehension of laws, Tang Ping returned home, feeling quite satisfied with himself.

After sensing that his few tool-slave subordinates still showed no signs of comprehending a domain, Tang Ping simply ignored them and entered the Virtual Universe to play games.

Five days passed in a flash, and finally, one of Tang Ping's tool-slave subordinates successfully comprehended a domain.

The most difficult part of breaking through to the Domain Lord Level is comprehending a domain. Once a domain is comprehended, if one does not care about overdrawing their future cultivation potential, such auxiliary breakthrough treasures are quite easy to purchase.

If it were a fellow Huaxia compatriot, Tang Ping certainly would not do such a thing, but since it was merely an alien slave he had purchased, Tang Ping could not care less about his future cultivation potential; he had bought him as a consumable item to begin with.

Handing the breakthrough treasure he had already purchased to the slave tool who had comprehended the domain and resetting the distribution ratio, Tang Ping ordered him to begin attempting the breakthrough.

Not long after, Tang Ping felt the system-distributed rewards for the slave tool's breakthrough to the Domain Lord Level.

"Boom!"

Inside his dantian, the spiral galaxy was beautiful and brilliant, with a massive black hole at its core.

At this moment, the spiral galaxy began to undergo an astonishing transformation.

The gravitational pull of the black hole surged violently, devouring the surrounding stars frantically as the black hole grew larger and larger.

Gradually, the entire spiral galaxy vanished, leaving behind only a single, massive black hole.

"Rumble!"

The massive black hole suddenly collapsed inward, the entire black region within the dantian shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene of a collapsing black hole was enough to make one's heart tremble.

In the blink of an eye, the entire black hole collapsed and disappeared. At the same time, a grey sphere appeared at the center where the black hole had been.

The grey sphere seemed to shed its skin like a snake; a layer of grey outer shell peeled off directly. This spherical grey shell expanded continuously, growing larger and larger, before silently merging into the dantian.

As for the sphere that had shed its shell, the remaining singularity was the life core that only appears upon breaking through to the Domain Lord Level.

Inside the singularity, a world would gradually gestate. This gestation process would span the entire journey from Domain Lord Level 1 to Domain Lord Level 9. When the gestation was complete, a fundamental transformation would occur, and the gestated world would form a true world.

That would be the World Lord Level!

A World Lord possesses a true world within their body, capable of wielding World Force with a wave of their hand. Furthermore, a World Lord's world can sustain life and store items, just like a real world.

"Haha... that was easy, Domain Lord Level achieved. Next, I need to find a way to break through to the World Lord Level. The World Lord Level is the most important stage of the early game, so I can afford to stay there for a while longer." With a hearty laugh, Tang Ping, having finished his breakthrough, stood up.

At this point, the money Luo Feng had shared with him was basically all spent. Even for the resources needed to advance from the Domain Lord Level to the ninth rank, he would have to find a way himself.

Of course, if he were too lazy to move, he could bind some Domain Lord Level tools and wait for them to cultivate on their own, which wouldn't take too long, but Tang Ping clearly didn't want to wait around like that.

"Hmm... let me think about how to make money quickly... Eh? Right, I almost forgot, the Automaton Race Spaceship! Haha... I'll go get it now and sell it. Forget about resources for the ninth rank of the Domain Lord Level; it'll be more than enough to reach the ninth rank of the World Lord Level." After a moment of thought, Tang Ping suddenly remembered a massive fortune he could easily get his hands on.

Thinking was doing. Since there was nothing else to do, Tang Ping left his cultivation room and shot into the sky, his target: the Bermuda Region.

In the Bermuda Region, deep within the cold, dark waters, a massive white shadow loomed.

Tang Ping flew directly toward it.

A colossal silver-white pyramid floated in the water, taller than any skyscraper on the planet. The silver-white pyramid hovered there, causing the surrounding magnetic field to distort completely.

"An Automaton Race spaceship!" Tang Ping's eyes lit up. "It's so beautiful. If I weren't short on cash, it would make a pretty good ride for me."

Without lingering, Tang Ping flew directly toward the triangular entrance opened at the base of the giant pyramid. The defense of this entrance was only at the C-level, posing no threat to Tang Ping, who was now a Domain Lord.

"Swoosh, swoosh..."

As expected, the three-colored beams shot from the Automaton ship's entrance didn't even affect Tang Ping's speed in the slightest.

He entered the control room very smoothly and inserted the smart chip he had prepared in advance.

"Tuanzi, hack it," Tang Ping ordered.

After Luo Feng distributed the money to his brothers, they had each bought themselves a smart optical computer, saving them the trouble of relying on Babata's sub-intelligence. Tang Ping's current intelligence displayed the image of a giant panda, which he named Tuanzi. After all, what Huaxia person wouldn't want to own their own panda? Since he couldn't have a real one, having an AI version was fine too.

About five minutes later.

"Master, success," Tuanzi's voice rang out.

"Great." Although he had expected it, Tang Ping was still very happy to have actually obtained it.

However, because he had already decided to sell it, Tang Ping didn't observe the interior of the ship too carefully; he was afraid that if he looked too closely, he wouldn't be able to bear parting with it.

"Hehe... according to what Babata said in the original story, this Automaton Race spaceship is at the peak of E-grade, worth a full one or two thousand Hunyuan Units. That's a Hunyuan Unit! Most World Lords can't even afford a ship like this." Tang Ping chuckled, daydreaming about his life after becoming a wealthy man.

"Ahem... no point in daydreaming. For now, I still need to hurry up and get stronger. Only by being strong can I lie flat more comfortably." Interrupting his own idle fantasies, Tang Ping began to consider how to sell this Automaton Race spaceship.

To maximize profits and sell it at a high price, there was no doubt he should have Babata use the five-star account of the Yunmo Planet's master, Hu Yanbo, to put it up for auction at the Ganwu Auction House's intermediate auction.

But that would require waiting for the auction to start, and after checking, Tang Ping found that the next intermediate auction was still several years away. By then, the opportunity would have long since passed.

"In that case, I can only sell it directly. Being in a rush to sell is truly a waste." Although he was a bit reluctant, it seemed that if he wanted to sell the ship quickly and get his hands on the money, he would have to sell it at a discount.
