Reception Envoy
(Continuing to ask for votes. Although An Hei rarely has big bursts of updates, it hasn't stopped updating or reduced its updates either. It's been so stable, so I'll reward it with some votes.)
Li Wei was taken aback, but his face showed a "how did you know?" expression. After thinking for a moment, he took out a blue mineral stone about the size of a finger from his pocket and handed it to Black Seven opposite him.
This is 'Star Tear Ore'. Li Wei learned about it from the Kai Star people. This 'Star Tear Ore' can be used as 'currency' in various star fields. In a sense, it is money.
Black Seven's eyes lit up, but he wiped his hands, carefully took the gift, and then tucked it into his arms, saying, "Sir, you're too kind. Don't be shy. We meet several sirs like you every day, so we can tell this is your first time here. To be honest, you're the most generous person I've ever met."
"Money makes the world go round, what an age-old saying!" Li Wei thought to himself. Since the other party had accepted the money and could tell that it was his first time there, why should he be polite? He directly asked all the questions that had been on his mind.
Having received the money, Black Seven naturally spoke frankly, and soon all of Li Wei's doubts were resolved.
As I suspected, this Star of Destruction was a gathering place for Destroyer from various star systems. It was said to be the only place where one could escape the forced missions of Shadow Street, so Destroyer often brought their star system's reincarnators here. Some came for refuge, but many more used it as a den of iniquity.
Here, as long as you have money—specifically, Star Tear Ore —you can enjoy the most luxurious lifestyle. Of course, besides that, as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want here.
This includes beautiful women from various star systems, the heads of your enemies, and even star systems themselves, all of which can be bought and sold.
It can be said that the Star of Destruction is a paradise that all reincarnators yearn for, and for this reason, the conditions for entering it are extremely demanding.
Here, people are divided into different classes. The first class, naturally, is the most prestigious 'Destroyer'. Destroyers from all major star systems are frequent visitors here, and every newly Destroyer receives an invitation letter, which means that he can freely enter and leave the Star of Destruction.
The second tier consists of reincarnators whose combat power reaches S-rank or above. Although they are not Destroyer, their profound strength allows them to enter by paying a few Star Tear Ore each time.
The third tier consists of reincarnators whose combat power is lower than that of S-rank. The Star Tear Ore they need to pay to enter the Star of Destruction is 10 times that of an S-rank powerhouse.
As for the lowest class, there are ordinary people who do not have Yellow Paper (a type of official document). They exist as the lowest class of people here. In addition, they can also be seen in slave auction houses, but only as objects to be auctioned.
Black Seven spoke eloquently, and Li Wei listened with secret amazement; this was indeed a very peculiar place. When asked who had sent the invitation in his hand, Black Seven shook his head and said, "That's not something someone like me can answer, sir. I will take you to the management committee of the Star of Destruction in a moment. Everyone who enters here must be registered, even you, Lord Destroyer, are no exception. If you have any questions, just ask them."
Seemingly feeling that he should perform better since he had been paid, Black Seven added in a low voice, "Just slip a little of this to the management committee, and I guarantee they'll tell you everything they know."
As he spoke, Black Seven pointed to the Star Tear Ore that he had already kicked into his arms.
Li Wei replied with an "I understand" emoji, but in his heart he was still somewhat ignorant. This Star of Destruction was indeed a wonderful place. If what Black Seven said was true, this place was really a paradise for reincarnators. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that "you can not accept mandatory missions here" was enough to make reincarnators do anything to squeeze in.
Furthermore, Li Wei also obtained another piece of information from Black Seven: here, it's all about who has the most powerful possessions. Show off what you have so others won't look down on you. For example, Li Wei arrived in the Destroyer's City, which is like a Mercedes-Benz in the old world—a complete symbol of status. That's why he stunned Black Seven and the others upon meeting him, to the point that they knew Li Wei was Destroyer without even asking.
The Destroyer's City is naturally something only Destroyer possess, but these things vary in quality and size. Some are as large as Li Wei's, while others are only the size of an ordinary room, and not all Destroyer have one.
Li Wei looked up at his own Destroyer's City, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this thing to be so intimidating!"
Next, Li Wei asked some more questions about the Star of Destruction. By this time, they could see the ground. Almost every place here had buildings. From above, it resembled a bustling metropolis. Guided by Black Seven, Li Wei used the control crystal to steer the Destroyer's City toward a massive pyramid-shaped structure. Along the way, they encountered many flying vehicles that avoided the colossal Destroyer's City. Even those who were also Destroyer were somewhat intimidated by the enormous black castle, wondering to themselves if it might be the castle of a Level 7 Starfield Destroyer.
Li Wei also saw several Destroyer's City similar to his own castle, but those castles were incredibly small. The largest was only a quarter the size of his castle, and the smallest couldn't even fit a person. But even the owner of the Destroyer's City sat arrogantly on his miniature castle, and what was funny was that all the surrounding flying vehicles had to give way to him.
However, when this Destroyer saw Li Wei's Destroyer's City, his expression changed drastically, and he slunk away to the side.
For Li Wei, these were just minor incidents. When the Destroyer's City entered within a hundred meters of the huge pyramid-shaped building, several people riding on 'Floating Bone Shuttle' flew out of the building and approached Li Wei.
"My lord, my rank is too low. This occasion is no longer suitable for me. You are a great man, and you will surely thrive on this Star of Destruction. Congratulations in advance. If you need anything, just come to me. Black Seven will definitely go to great lengths for you... If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Upon seeing the person flying out of the pyramid, Black Seven's expression changed, and he looked at Li Wei pitifully.
Li Wei glanced at Black Seven and, seeing the shifty look in his eyes, knew that things weren't as he described.
However, Li Wei quickly understood what was going on.
"Isn't this Black Seven? Who told you to abandon your post? Coming back without orders, showing no organization or discipline, you're just a born scoundrel."
A voice entered Li Wei's ears. He looked up and saw a man dressed in a black robe. He looked young, but he possessed S1-level combat strength. He rode a huge Floating Bone Shuttle, which was over 5 meters long and looked quite imposing.
Black Seven's throat moved as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't.
The man glared fiercely at Black Seven, but then noticed Li Wei. His face immediately changed from its initial coldness to a smile, though there was not a trace of respect in that smile.
"Young Destroyer, welcome to the Star of Destruction. Let me introduce myself. My Liu Kun, a Senior Guide. Please follow me to register, and then you can relax here to your heart's content."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Wei sneered but did not move.
The senior guide named Liu Kun was a shrewd man. He could tell from Li Wei's reaction that Li Wei had been in a hurry when he saw Black Seven and had cursed him, which must have displeased the Destroyer. However, Liu Kun had a plan. He chuckled and landed on Li Wei's Destroyer's City.
"I just reprimanded my subordinates, which disturbed you, sir. But you may not know this, sir, but Black Seven is merely a low-level guide and has no right to bring you here. I suspect he probably wanted to take some benefits from you along the way. Tell me, what else could such a person be but a scoundrel? On the Star of Destruction, accepting benefits from the Destroyer without authorization is severely punished. Sir, just tell me what you gave him, and I will certainly punish this scoundrel according to the law." At the end, Liu Kun glared at Black Seven again, who was clearly furious, but seemed to be wary of Liu Kun and remained silent.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei understood that Liu Kun must have had a grudge against Black Seven long ago, and this time he seized the opportunity to bring him down.
Li Wei originally didn't want to pay attention to the feud between the two, but he really disliked Liu Kun's attitude.
On the surface, he was extremely respectful, but in reality, he didn't bow at all when he spoke. Compared to Black Seven, Liu Kun was the one who was truly disrespectful. Furthermore, the other party completely disregarded Li Wei's presence, loudly reprimanding Black Seven in front of him, which in itself showed a lack of respect for Li Wei. What angered Li Wei even more was that the other party had set foot in the Destroyer's City without his permission—did he think this was his home?
Li Wei sneered, thinking to himself, "Since you don't take me seriously, I don't care who you are."
"Liu Jieyin, right? Black Seven didn't take any benefits from me. I just didn't know the way since it was my first time here, so I asked him to show me the way." Li Wei glanced at the other man, but immediately changed the subject. "But you have a grudge against him, so there's no need for you to drag me into smearing him, is there? Also, you came to my castle without my permission. Tell me, what are we going to do about this?"
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Liu Kun's expression changed. He stared at Li Wei in disbelief, seemingly not expecting the other party to be so disrespectful.
