Entering the Universe

Qiulong City has a history of over three million years, and its city gates are nearly one kilometer wide.

Xu Qing and his group passed through the city gate, they each received a code the instant they entered, equivalent to a phone number, allowing them to contact and chat through the Virtual Universe.

"Brother Luo Feng, Brother Xu Qing, I need to go see an elder first. Tonight, I'll treat everyone to dinner," Gao Sheng said before parting ways.

"Okay," Luo Feng nodded.

Then, Xu Qing and Luo Feng strolled around Qiulong City.

With two Flowing Silver Guard by his side, many people assumed they were from a powerful family, and their gazes towards them were different.

Here, they saw all sorts of people, just like in the movies, and many aliens.

Most importantly, Planetary Level are everywhere here, and Star Level are also common, but Universe Level are rare.

"Alright, let's take care of business first, then we can go sightseeing," Babata said, then directed the two to the Administration Building of Qiulong Planet.

Their first task was to become citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire Black Dragon Mountain Empire acquire its nationality.

The Administration Building also served as the office building for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiulong Planet.

32 floors.

"Gentlemen, how may I help you?" A beautiful woman with rabbit ears bowed slightly and smiled.

A little later, Xu Qing and the others arrived at a room.

There were two staff members inside, dark-skinned with blood-red eyes. Upon seeing the two Flowing Silver Guard, they were very welcoming, asking, "Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

"We hope to become citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire," Luo Feng said.

The two staff members were surprised for a moment, but quickly filled in the blanks and promptly began processing Xu Qing and Luo Feng's application.

It took about twenty minutes for Xu Qing and Luo Feng to obtain their ID cards and become citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Next, we need to open an account with the Virtual Universe Company, Babata. Where is it?" Luo Feng asked.

"More than a hundred kilometers away," Babata replied.

In the Virtual Universe, citizens of all human nations and major Universe Country can enter and converse face-to -Virtual Universe face, regardless of distance or time.

This Virtual Universe System connects the entire Human Race, which is truly amazing.

"Babata, what exactly is this Virtual Universe technology?" Luo Feng, very curious.

"I don't know either. Only Virtual Universe Company knows. It's practically the core of the core," Babata shook his head.

Afterwards, Babata explained to the two the five most powerful forces among Human Race.

They are: Universe Galaxy Bank, Universe First Bank, Giant Axe Dojo, Virtual Universe Company, and Universe Mercenary Alliance.

The Virtual Universe Company, which can be described as humanity's second world, covers the entire Human Territory and is incomparably powerful.

"The person who created this system must be a genius, just like me," Xu Qing commented.

Babata rolled his eyes. "You want to compare yourself to those top-tier beings? You're dreaming."

"What's the difference between someone without dreams and a salted fish? Babata, your awareness needs improvement," Xu Qing shook his head.

"Tell me about yourself. Everyone knows you love to slack off and dream," Babata scoffed.

Xu Qing shook his head again, a profound expression on his face. "Babata, you don't understand."

"Hey..." Babata was very annoyed. He was putting on airs again. This guy was number one at showing off.

While they were joking around, they had already arrived at the Virtual Universe Company's branch.

They were greeted by a beautiful woman. "Gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Open an account..."

Subsequently, Luo Feng opened accounts for himself and Xu Qing, and purchased ten consciousness-sensing helmets, linking them to anonymous accounts.

These consciousness-sensing helmets are intended to be brought back to Earth and distributed to the high-ranking officials of the five major nations, allowing them to understand the situation in the universe and prepare for future integration with the cosmos.

Inside the restaurant, Luo Feng booked a private room and had Flowing Silver Guard the door.

"Ready? We're about to enter the Virtual Universe," Babata chuckled, sounding somewhat excited.

Xu Qing and Luo Feng exchanged a glance and nodded. "Let's go in."

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

The streets were bustling with people of all races, all dressed in simple gray clothes, and each of them had a little sprite on them.

Brush!

Xu Qing and Luo Feng suddenly appeared, as if they had been reorganized, and stood on the street.

The little elf sitting on Luo Feng's shoulder was none other than Babata.

On Xu Qing's shoulder was a uniform little sprite, a virtual assistant. Everyone who entered the Virtual Universe had one, and its intelligence level was related to the personal Optical Computer they used.

The Optical Computer is divided into several levels, the lowest level being the consciousness-sensing helmet. This virtual assistant, formed in the Virtual Universe, does not think; it can only give simple answers and execute commands.

Next comes the Auxiliary Optical Computer, then the intelligent Optical Computer, and finally intelligent life.

Babata are the highest level of intelligent life.

Xu Qing was using Auxiliary Optical Computer, which Luo Feng had obtained from the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins. After Luo Feng acquired the Babata, he gave the Auxiliary Optical Computer to Xu Qing.

Therefore, Xu Qing's virtual assistant is not the lowest level.

"Change it to resemble Little Azure Dragon," Xu Qing ordered.

"Yes, Master," the virtual assistant immediately changed form, transforming into a ' Little Azure Dragon '.

Upon seeing this ' Little Azure Dragon,' Xu Qing was dumbfounded. 'It's Little Azure Dragon, not a crayfish!'

"Pfft... Hahaha," Babata burst into laughter. On Earth, "Little Azure Dragon" is the nickname for a lobster, but he never expected that the Auxiliary Optical Computer would learn it.

Luo Feng couldn't help but chuckle; thankfully, he wasn't the one using the Auxiliary Optical Computer right now.

Soon, the crayfish transformed into a real Little Azure Dragon, floating on Xu Qing's shoulder, just like the East Sea Azure Dragon back then.

"That's more like it," Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"Babata, when are we going to retrieve the things the teacher left me?" Luo Feng asked.

Babata thought for a moment, "Then we'll have to go to the Universe Galaxy Bank, but there's no branch of the Universe Galaxy Bank on Qiulong Planet. We'll have to go to a planet directly under the jurisdiction of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

"I need to go and get what my teacher left me. It should be worth a lot of money. Ideally, I could buy Earth," Luo Feng thought, considering the situation on Earth.

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. According to the laws of the Black Dragon Empire, if you want to become the Earth Lord, you have two choices. I think your choice will definitely be to buy Earth directly."

"So if you want to buy Earth, you need to pay a minimum of 300 billion Black Dragon Coin and a maximum of 3 trillion Black Dragon Coin. Even if it's the maximum of 3 trillion, you have enough money in your account," Babata said.

"So expensive! Is there really enough money in the account?" Luo Feng was shocked.

"Don't underestimate your teacher. He was an Immortal, after all. How could his legacy be so great that he couldn't even buy a planet?" Babata said, hands on his hips.

It paused, then continued, "Your understanding of the powerful beings in the universe is still insufficient, but that's normal, after all, before you, there weren't even any at the Star Level."

"Get used to it slowly. The universe is vast, and powerful beings emerge endlessly. Many things will exceed your imagination."

"However, Earth's current coordinates have been hidden by your teacher using Space Secret Technique. If you voluntarily declare them, it will be difficult to explain clearly. Therefore, it's best not to expose Earth before it's discovered by outsiders; that would be safer."

"Unless... your teacher's secret technique has been cracked, or a new spatial wormhole has appeared; the latter is more likely."

After listening to Babata's analysis, Luo Feng nodded. Indeed, it was better not to actively reveal Earth's existence.

"Maybe a new spatial wormhole really has appeared," Xu Qing thought to himself. The power of nature is unpredictable.

The entire universe is also a natural world. No matter how powerful an entity is in the universe, it cannot shake the universe, let alone predict its future.

"If it really happens, then you're a jinx," Babata said.

"What do you mean by 'jinxing'? I'm just being prepared for the worst. You're completely uncultured. What if someone came in through a space wormhole and we didn't even know? That would be so passive," Xu Qing retorted.

Luo Feng thought about it and agreed that Xu Qing's consideration was correct; it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Babata, is there any way to prevent this from happening?" Luo Feng asked.

Babata shook his head, "There's no way to prevent that. We're not Immortal Level; we can't do what your teacher did."

"Well, then we'll need to make some preparations in advance," Luo Feng said, rubbing his chin.

"Preparing is simple; just set up some monitoring devices in the Milky Way. It's not difficult," Babata said without objection.

After agreeing on the plan, Xu Qing and the others' consciousnesses emerged from the Virtual Universe and returned to reality.

Just then, Gao Sheng sent a message: "Brother Luo Feng, I've taken care of things. Come over for a meal!"

"Where?"

"North District, Baiwei Restaurant"

"Okay, coming right away."

Xu Qing and Luo Feng arrived at the Baiwei Restaurant on the second floor.

"Over here," Gao Sheng waved as soon as they arrived.

Xu Qing sat down and, without any hesitation, said, "I don't drink alcohol, I only drink juice. Also, I have a big appetite, so please order a few more portions."

"Haha, no problem," Gao Sheng thought Xu Qing was very straightforward.

It was only during the meal that Gao Sheng realized what Xu Qing meant when she said he had a large appetite.

"Brother Xu Qing, eat slowly. You can order more if you're still hungry," Gao Sheng said, finding it somewhat amusing. Who was the fat guy, really?

"Don't mind me, this is how I eat. Just pretend I don't exist," Xu Qing said, waving his hand as he ate.

Gao Sheng laughed heartily, "Brother Xu Qing, you're really funny."

Then, Gao Sheng and Luo Feng began to talk.

"Most people on this planet are Planetary Level, and there seem to be very few Apprentice Level people," Luo Feng noticed that some of the waitresses in the restaurant were Apprentice Level.

Previously, even the female service staff in the Administration Building and the Virtual Universe Company were Planetary Level.

"Of course. Only Planetary Level can become citizens of the Empire. Apprentice Level beings aren't even citizens, and their fates are mostly tragic, especially for beautiful women."

"Without the protection of the law, anyone with a bit of power can have their life or death decided by them, and they might even be sold into slavery," Gao Sheng lamented.

Luo Feng's mind jolted slightly. It seemed that Babata was right; the phenomenon of the survival of the fittest was even more severe in the universe.

"So that means they don't treat people like human beings. Then I won't treat that kind of person like a human being either," Xu Qing interjected.

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Xu Qing to be such a man of character," Gao Sheng laughed.

Xu Qing raised a finger and shook it. "No, I'm not a sentimental person. I'm a calm person. If I could control it, I definitely wouldn't allow this to happen. But I can't control it, so I can only respect other people's fate."

"Haha, that's true. But, Brother Xu Qing can handle people like them. Just say the word, and they'll obediently follow you. The boss won't say anything," Gao Sheng said, glancing at the pretty waitress.

Xu Qing blinked. "Huh? Is that so?"

He looked at the waitress and saw that she was looking at him too. He immediately blushed and turned his head away.

"She blushed? Could it be... she realized I was a man at first glance! Brother-in-law, did you see that? She blushed. She didn't see me as a woman!" Xu Qing looked surprised.

Seeing Xu Qing's surprised expression, Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. What was so surprising about that? Was it really that big of a deal?

Gao Sheng burst into laughter at Xu Qing Xu Qing's antics, never expecting such a reaction.

"Brother Xu Qing, are you going to take him away?" Gao Sheng asked.

"No, I don't have that ability yet. When I do, the weak can come and rely on me, and I will give them a safe world to live in."

"There, if I say there is light, there is absolutely no darkness. Of course, I certainly don't have that say elsewhere," Xu Qing shrugged.

Gao Sheng was somewhat shocked by what Xu Qing said; it was the first time he had ever heard someone say such a thing.

Where there is light, there is absolutely no darkness. This statement is simple to say, but extremely difficult to put into practice. Even a Domain Lord... no, even World Lord, cannot achieve it.

Immortal might still be possible, but there are even stronger beings beyond Immortal.

"Brother Xu Qing, you're something else," Gao Sheng gave Xu Qing a thumbs up. Even if Xu Qing was just saying it, he was impressed.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. Let's set our sights on becoming World Lord for now, then Immortal, then above Immortal, and finally the strongest in the universe. What do you think, brother-in-law?" Xu Qing chuckled.

Luo Feng hadn't expected Xu Qing to be so ambitious. He was only at the Star Level, yet he was already aiming for the World Lord level, with his ultimate goal being to become the strongest in the universe.

However, it inexplicably stirred up my passion. Yes, just like Babata said, what's the difference between someone without dreams and a salted fish?

"Haha, that's true. Let's set our sights on becoming World Lord first," Luo Feng laughed, his mindset subtly shifting as the flame of ambition was ignited.

Standing nearby, Gao Sheng was dumbfounded. Good heavens, he came up at the World Lord level right off the bat? Did he think he could fly to the heavens?

"Hey, you two, don't get cocky. You're only at the Star Level, not even at the Universe Level yet, and you're already thinking about being at the World Lord level. You haven't even learned to run yet, but you think you can fly?" Babata shouted.

In its prediction, it would take Luo Feng and Xu Qing several hundred years to break through to the Universe Level.

Not to mention Domain Lord and World Lord, some of whom are still cultivating.
