Qiu Long City.
After successfully obtaining his Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship and completing the account-opening procedures for the Virtual Universe,
"Luo Feng, let's part ways here." Standing on the street, Yun He said with a smile.
"Brother, are you really not going back to Earth?" Luo Feng's mood was somewhat heavy.
"It's not that I'm not going back, it's just that I'm not going back for now; I still have some matters to attend to. You should quickly register Earth under your name and become the Earth Lord." Yun He patted Luo Feng's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Alright then. Brother, remember to add my Virtual Universe ID later, and we can contact each other in the Virtual Universe." Despite feeling some reluctance, Luo Feng nodded and said.
"Mm, I know." Yun He waved his hand and watched Luo Feng leave, his gaze somewhat complex.
Luo Feng, the crisis Earth would face in a short period of time would have to be resolved by himself.
The Virtual Universe possessed a positioning function; no matter where one logged into the Virtual Universe, the Virtual Universe Company would know upon a single check.
If Yun He returned to Earth and logged into the Virtual Universe from there, participating in the Genius Battle at that time, the Virtual Universe Company would easily find out that Yun He also originated from Earth.
Two native kids who had just stepped out of Earth into the universe and simultaneously shone brilliantly in the Genius Battle-any fool would know that Earth had a problem.
By then, Earth would receive attention from various factions and be exposed prematurely.
Having just passed the Genius Battle, the two of them held low status, and by that time Earthlings might not even be able to retain the residential rights of their own land.
After parting ways with Luo Feng, Yun He went to the Universe Galaxy Bank to open an account.
Afterward, he arrived in front of a shop.
"Rare Treasure Shop."
This was an extremely expansive shop, comparable in size to a large plaza on Earth.
Inside the shop, divided by sections, there were combat uniforms, beasts for taming, psychic weapons, Force Weapons, strange fruits, various miscellaneous items, and so on.
Every item had a simulated projection, and every single price was exorbitantly expensive.
Yun He stepped into the shop, looked over the simulated projections of the items one by one, and then checked the prices...
Expensive!
Too expensive!
Even if Earth were sold, there were still many things in this shop that he couldn't afford. Of course, that was calculated as if Earth were just an ordinary planet. In reality, Earth's true value was immeasurable.
"Respected sir, how may I help you?" A clerk stepped forward and inquired enthusiastically.
"I have a Tier 3 Force Weapon I'd like to sell," Yun He said.
"A Tier 3 Force Weapon!" The clerk's eyes widened as he hastily bowed, his voice trembling slightly. "Sir, please this way. Please wait a moment."
For Force Weapons, every tier increase made the price terrifyingly high.
A Tier 3 Force Weapon cost at least several billion Black Dragon Coins, and if it were of top-grade quality, the price could even reach tens of thousands of billions!
After all, it was a weapon used by Universe Level powerhouses; could the price possibly be cheap?
"Sir, please come inside to discuss in detail." Soon, the clerk jogged back and respectfully led Yun He into a reception room inside the shop.
Inside the reception room.
An old man, who had been sitting with red and blue markings on his face and a height of over two meters, stood up with a smile. Bowing slightly, he said, "Respected guest, I heard you have a Tier 3 Force Weapon you wish to sell?"
This old man was a Stellar Level Six powerhouse, an invincible existence on ordinary planets.
"Yes." Yun He nodded slightly.
"I wonder what kind of Force Weapon it is?" The old man inquired.
Gently touching a black ring on the index finger of his left hand with his thumb, Yun He retrieved the Flowing Light Sword from his space ring.
The space ring was given by Babata, just a very ordinary one with a space of about ten meters in length, width, and height. As for the Flowing Light Sword, it was given by the intelligence within the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins.
The old man took the Flowing Light Sword, his eyes lighting up.
"This is a top-grade Tier 3 Force Weapon. At the Force Weapon Specialty Shop, the price of the Flowing Light Sword is 500 billion Black Dragon Coins," Yun He said.
Beep!
A beam of green light enveloped the Flowing Light Sword.
"Mm, it is indeed the Flowing Light Sword. The material standards are correct, and it is completely undamaged." Examining the data, the old man nodded with a smile and said, "I can offer you an acquisition price of 4600 billion Black Dragon Coins."
"4800. Below this price, I'll go elsewhere." Yun He shook his head, holding firm on the price.
Before coming, Yun He had already logged into the Virtual Universe and roughly checked the prices before coming to sell it.
"4800... This." Looking at Yun He, the old man had originally wanted to fleece a newcomer, but he hadn't expected someone who knew their stuff.
"Deal!" The old man finally nodded.
Yun He smiled. "Draw up the contract, then."
Both parties drafted the contract and then executed the transaction.
The Flowing Light Sword now belonged to the Rare Treasure Shop.
Meanwhile, the massive sum of 4800 billion Black Dragon Coins was deposited into Yun He's Universe Galaxy Bank account.
The bank card integrated the owner's spiritual imprint and required the account owner to use it, making it safer than any password. With money stored inside, there was simply no need to worry about it being stolen.
The Universe Galaxy Bank was a super bank spread across human territory and one of the five giant pillars of humanity.
"Mr. Yun He." The old man smiled as he handed over a card. "This is our Rare Treasure Shop membership card, which entitles you to a 2% discount."
He clearly knew that Yun He was now a wealthy patron and naturally hoped he would spend in his shop.
Yun He smiled and accepted the membership card.
Under the old man's guidance, he purchased Cloud-Touching Vine seeds, as well as the best materials capable of nurturing the Cloud-Touching Vine up to Planetary Level Nine.
The total expenditure was around 150 billion Black Dragon Coins.
Leaving the Rare Treasure Shop, Yun He spent another 100 billion Black Dragon Coins to purchase a small castle on Qiu Long Star.
The castle was located right beside Qiu Long City, a small castle measuring one kilometer in length and width.
Yun He also officially became a local resident of Qiu Long Star.
Standing inside the newly purchased castle, Yun He let out a soft breath.
Everything was settled; from now on, this would be his residence for the next decade or so.
It would last all the way until the end of the Genius Battle and his departure for the Virtual Universe Company.
"Should I go to the slave market and buy a few slave girls back?" Looking at the empty castle, Yun He touched his chin in thought.
Of course, it was just purely to buy a few slave girls back to clean the house.
Mm, nothing else meant.
At that moment, Luo Feng sent a message in the Virtual Universe saying that he had finished his business and was preparing to return to Earth.
Accompanying him were sixteen Stellar Level slaves and one thousand Planetary Level Nine slaves he had purchased.
Yun He replied to the message, telling him to get the matter of Earth's ownership sorted out early, and said nothing else.
"I haven't properly experienced the Virtual Universe yet."
Yun He felt some anticipation in his heart; he had been busy the whole time and hadn't had the chance to properly appreciate the magical aspects of the Virtual Universe.
Entering the room, he closed the door.
Sitting on the sofa, Yun He instructed his auxiliary optical computer, "Enter the Virtual Universe."
The auxiliary optical computer was a gift from the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, just a lower-level intelligence completely incomparable to an intelligent life form like Babata. However, it was already sufficient to assist with daily life.
"Connecting to the Virtual Universe..."
A deep and majestic voice echoed in Yun He's consciousness.
Yun He's consciousness instantly plunged into darkness.
