There Was a Weirdo

"Who cares? We just need to keep mining for Universe Crystal. The more days we have, the more we'll harvest. Let's keep going," Babata urged.

Xu Qing and the others thought about it and agreed. Why think so much? Their goal was simply to mine more Universe Crystal.

Just as they continued to dig for the Universe Crystal, Luo Feng received a message from Ming Yu.

"What's wrong, Luo Feng?" Everyone looked at him.

"That's how it is," Luo Feng explained, recounting his conversation with Ming Yu.

"What?! Two million ninth-tier Star Level Warrior?!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this number.

Xu Qing blinked. "How long would it take for me to kill you all?"

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes. What are you trying to do?

Even if there were two million chickens, it would still exhaust a person to kill them.

It's likely that all the powerful figures in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield dispatched their forces, which is why they were able to reach such an astonishing number.

Ming Yu approached Luo Feng, hoping that if Luo Feng obtained any treasures, they would give him the ones he coveted.

The price is that when Xu Qing and his group are in the World-within-a-World, they can use Ming Yu's name to avoid being harassed by other organizations.

Besides being an external member of the Virtual Universe Company, Ming Yu is also an internal member of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Three Axe Mountain, and thus wields considerable influence.

"One more thing, Ming Yu said that not many people from Three Axe Mountain came to participate in the Universe Trainee Mercenary Assessment this time, so we should be careful," Luo Feng added.

"Uh, then how can we leverage this momentum? Three Axe Mountain is basically unable to participate in this treasure competition, right?" Thor's lips twitched.

"No, although there aren't many people from Three Axe Mountain here yet, they have already sent a large force in. Three Axe Mountain is the leader of the four major forces in the folk, and its reputation is formidable. Once the large force from Three Axe Mountain arrives, as long as we announce Ming Yu's name and join the Three Axe Mountain camp, we won't be troubled," Luo Feng shook his head.

"That's more like it," Thor understood.

"Let's go to the core area. Those two million ninth-level Star Level Warrior will all flood in in a few days. It's not safe to stay on the outer perimeter anymore," Babata suggested.

To date, they have excavated nearly 150,000 cubic meters of Universe Crystal.

However, this is not the actual number. To be precise, the amount of Universe Crystal in Babata's storage space reached 300,000 cubic meters, but she deliberately underestimated it by half.

Xu Qing and the others didn't notice, since Babata collected all the Universe Crystal.

Don't be fooled by the large number of Universe Crystal you can find on the outskirts; in the core area, the Universe Crystal exist in cubic meters, with a much higher density and an overwhelming quantity.

"Alright, let's go then," Xu Qing and the others nodded, and then flew towards the core area of World-within-a-World.

Although there are no ferocious beasts within this World-within-a-World, allowing free flight, one will be vulnerable to interception and assassination by other Warrior.

Puff!

Blood-red threads sliced through the void, beheading more than a dozen ninth-tier Star Level Warrior.

"Is this ever going to end? These noobs are all so fearless," Xu Qing said speechlessly. Along the way, all they had encountered were people who were ambushing and robbing people.

There's simply no peace and quiet here.

"I think they're unlucky to have run into you. Did any of them escape your clutches?" Babata quipped.

If those ninth -Star Level- level Warrior knew that Xu Qing, this freak, was around, they wouldn't dare to rush out.

"Xiao Qing, you can't make a move anymore. We're almost at the core area. If too many people see your fighting prowess, we'll become the target of everyone's attacks," Luo Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Those Warrior have powerful backers. Even if they are fearless here, once they go outside, they are at the mercy of others.

Therefore, they must keep a low profile, especially Xu Qing, who must remain hidden.

"Luo Feng is right. From now on, seal Xu Qing away and forbid him from making any more moves," Babata said gloatingly.

Xu Qing was very unwilling, but he had no choice.

Seeing his displeased expression, Hong and Thor both laughed. It seems that sometimes being too strong can also make you a target.

Akaro was also impressed; Xu Qing was too powerful, far beyond what one would expect from a Star Level Warrior.

"An eighth-level realm, and the Origin Law —this Elder Brother is simply too strong; he's definitely Peerless Genius of the Human Race," Akaro exclaimed excitedly.

Following Xu Qing, it could imagine how comfortable its future would be.

The Nolanshan Family isn't even worthy of carrying Xu Qing's shoes.

"However, along the way we fought our way here, we also seized quite a lot of Universe Crystal and supplies. Not to mention weapons, we even have more than a dozen Space Ring," Thor remarked.

Most of the Warrior who can enter this place have powerful backers.

It seems that murder and robbery are also effective ways to get rich!

"We need to be careful and discreet from now on, and wait for the right opportunity," Hong said, looking ahead, not far from the core area.

In that sky, there is a sphere of light, and below it lies the core area of World-within-a-World.

"This is bad. There are fifty Star Level Warrior from all four directions. They're surrounding us," Babata suddenly warned as they approached the core area.

Luo Feng and his group immediately rushed into the forest below to avoid these people.

The four figures disappeared into the forest, and the encirclement failed.

"I saw that young master. He's the leader. Should I just take him out with one arrow?" In the forest, Xu Qing noticed a young man he had seen before at Demon Moon Lake.

"No, this guy is obviously not an ordinary young master. If we kill him, we probably won't be able to stay here any longer," Luo Feng shook his head.

Hong and Thor shared the same idea; the main forces of those powers were arriving soon, and these people with powerful backgrounds were untouchable.

"This guy is obviously not stupid. He brought so many people here to lie in wait. Anyone who tries to get close to the core area will be intercepted by his men," Luo Feng muttered.

Unfortunately, the core area is a vast grassland, and once locked on, it's very difficult to escape.

"We'll sneak in slowly, preferably at night," Xu Qing said, and then they slowed down and moved closer to the core area.

As Xu Qing and his group traveled through the forest, they encountered several smaller teams, all of whom assumed the four of them were easy targets. However, they all ended up being defeated, which benefited Xu Qing and his group, and they even received a considerable amount of Universe Crystal from them.

Currently, Babata's storage space contains nearly 500,000 Universe Crystal, though he publicly states it contains 200,000.

In the darkness, Xu Qing and his group walked across the grassland and saw countless corpses.

One can imagine what happened here before.

"They're probably all in a frenzy," the group remarked.

Having finally entered the core area, Xu Qing and his team dug a mound of earth at the edge to use as cover and observe the situation.

"There are many people, at least two thousand."

Before long, a loud voice rang out, "Adventurers, the preciousness of this World-within-a-World is self-evident, and it has already attracted a large number of Universe Level, Domain Lord, and even World Lord powerhouses..."

Xu Qing and the others listened quietly.

The man's meaning was clear: the powerful figures of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield had already agreed that the treasure left behind by the World Lord Kabu belonged to the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.

In other words, apart from the people of the Two Great Holy Lands, the sixteen major families, and the four major folk organizations, whoever obtains the treasure must give it up; even the Universe Crystal cannot be left behind.

These words were addressed to ordinary adventurers like Xu Qing.

However, as long as you join these forces and help them seize the treasures, that problem will not exist, and you can keep the Universe Crystal you have.

"They're putting pressure on the adventurers because they're afraid they'll unite," Xu Qing and the others could all tell.

Now, the core area is occupied by those major forces; to enter the circle, one must join their camp.

"What should we do?" They exchanged glances.

"What's the rush? The main force outside won't arrive for another seven or eight days. They must be very anxious right now," Babata said calmly.

"Could that World Lord have left behind some kind of method? Like arranging for his wisdom to pass on his legacy?" Xu Qing stroked his chin.

Hearing Xu Qing say this, everyone thought about it seriously, and sure enough, it was indeed possible.

"That World Lord was a figure from tens of millions of years ago. If he left behind his wisdom, that wisdom might have already evolved into intelligent life."

"Most importantly, if intelligent life were to live alone for millions of years, it would definitely become psychologically abnormal," Babata speculated.

It had been living alone on Earth for 50,000 years, and even it was starting to feel the strain.

"Yeah, I think so too, hehe," Xu Qing laughed.

Everyone stared at him with strange expressions. So what if he's a pervert? What are you laughing at? Are you a pervert yourself?

"Why are you looking at me? What's wrong with me smiling? It's not illegal," Xu Qing said, pursing her lips.

Luo Feng and the others were certain that Xu Qing must have some twisted thoughts in his mind.

"Xiao Qing, if you were in her shoes, what would you do?" Luo Feng asked.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, "If it were me, I would definitely make those people run around in circles. For example, if they want the treasure I have, then we'll have a fight, and whoever wins gets the treasure."

"Or, you could trade things for them, like Wind Horn Stone; the more items you have, the more treasures you can get in return."

"Anyway, no matter what, those people are going to fight. If he's a psychopath, he'd definitely be happy to see that kind of scene."

After hearing Xu Qing's explanation, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.

"As expected of you, you really know a lot about perverts," Babata teased.

That's exactly what it thinks, because this way it can manipulate people to the maximum extent.

"Nonsense, what I'm doing is researching abnormal psychology, don't you understand psychology?" Xu Qing scoffed.

"Then you understand the psychology of perverts, didn't I say something wrong?" Babata shrugged.

Xu Qing glanced at it, "Don't forget you're not young either."

"Nonsense, I'm not like that," Babata glared.

"Alright, alright," Luo Feng interrupted them, "Since that World Lord might have left behind his wisdom, and that wisdom might cause trouble, let's continue to observe the situation before taking any action."

Next, Xu Qing and his group continued to observe from the other side of the river, watching how the situation would develop.

At the heart of the core area, beneath the sphere of light, lies a blue castle—the very place where World Lord Kabu stored his treasures.

Before long, a group of more than 600 people flew in from a distance and gathered above one of the camps.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Prince. Thatchson has arrived with his men," a loud voice rang out.

That Ninth Prince Your Highness the same young master that Xu Qing and the others had met.

"I really didn't expect that he's a prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire," Thor exclaimed in amazement. This was no small matter.

"He's just the ninth one; there are eight ahead of him," Xu Qing said dismissively.

Everyone nodded; indeed, there were many princes ahead of this Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince used Laser Gun to kill a master from the Hundred Tiger Tower, instantly establishing his authority and silencing the four major forces in the populace.

"A C-grade Laser Gun, capable of killing even Universe Level, now basically no one dares to go against him," Hong said.

"What's so special about that? Is his Laser Gun as powerful as my arrow?" Xu Qing said dismissively.

Babata spoke up, "You definitely can't make a move; you'd better stay put."

At this moment, the Ninth Prince, surrounded by a large number of Black Dragon Mountain officials, walked towards the castle.

When his men went to push open the door, they were engulfed by the lightning that shot out and turned to ashes.

"Oh dear, why didn't we burn that Ninth Prince to ashes? What a waste," Xu Qing said.

Luo Feng and the others thought the same thing; it would be great if the Ninth Prince himself had pushed open the door.

However, the castle gates opened automatically.

The moment the gate opened, a beam of light rose from the castle and enveloped it.

"Welcome everyone! After millions of years of waiting, we've finally arrived!" A laugh rang out, shaking the heavens.

Above the castle, the light converged to form a chubby, white-bearded old man—a virtual figure.

"It's intelligence, very likely intelligent life!" Everyone stared at the sky.

"Little ones, I know you've come for the treasure. That's right, the treasure left by the master is right here," the white-bearded old man waved his hand, and a huge light screen appeared.

Numerous images of objects, all treasures, appeared on the light screen, dazzling the eye.

The most captivating feature is the colorful crystal ball in the center. Many people immediately recognized it as the Inheritance Crystal Ball, the legacy of the World Lord Kabu.

Everyone got excited.

"As you can see, the master has many treasures, a total of 68 kinds and 312 pieces," the white-bearded old man continued.

The first item on the list is the triple account of the Inheritance Crystal Ball deposit bank.

The second one is the bank account of World Lord Kabu, where he has deposits.

The third item is a Bloodline Potion of the Domain Lord level.

Needless to say, the rest were all precious treasures, the worst of which were fifth-tier Force Weapon, also known as World Lord weapons, which made one's heart race and breath quicken upon seeing them.

Even Xu Qing and his group saw it, and that was the case as well.

"This World Lord is incredibly wealthy. He must have received some Immortal legacy. The top-ranking treasures are all extremely valuable," Babata exclaimed in astonishment.

"See? This is the treasure left behind by my master. If you want these treasures, it's simple. Just exchange them for Thunder Stone. I've already put prices on these treasures," the white-bearded old man said with a smile.

Then, with another wave of his hand, prices appeared behind all the treasures.

Wow!

The crowd erupted in uproar. Everyone was shocked by the prices; the minimum was 100,000 Thunder Stone, and the maximum was 10 million Thunder Stone.

Especially the top-ranked triple account, each level requires ten million Thunder Stone, which is a quantity that one person cannot collect alone; it requires a large number of people.
