Before returning to Earth, the Babata had already chosen Bailan Star, 10,000 light-years away, as their second base, making it easier for them to receive large quantities of cargo in the future.
Bailan Star experiences extremely low temperatures year-round, resulting in a sparse population and much lower land rents, making it ideal for warehouse use.
Here, they rented a huge warehouse that was 98 kilometers long and 61 kilometers wide.
"800 million Silver Blue Coin for rent? On Qiu Long Star, we use Black Dragon Coin or even Ganwu Coin. Suddenly seeing Silver Blue Coin feels so cheap!" Thunder God exclaimed.
"It's just good luck that you have so many relics from extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth, which is why you have acquired so much wealth so soon after entering the universe."
"Don't think that 800 million Silver Blue Coin is a small amount. A Star Level official on Bailan Star only earns a few hundred thousand Silver Blue Coin a year. If you come here to make money, you might not even earn that much!" Babata explained.
Zhang Junbao and his companions were also relieved that they had unearthed quite a few treasures on Earth; otherwise, the cost of registering their citizenship in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire alone would have been a major headache for them.
After dealing with matters on Bailan Star, leaving a few Star Level slaves to manage the area, the spaceship set sail again. Bailan Star is very close to Earth, only a little over ten thousand light-years away. At the speed of the Black Dragon Spaceship, it only takes one day to travel between Earth and Bailan Star.
Although this trip to space lasted only a little over a month, the four of them felt as if they had been reborn. They had always known how magnificent the universe beyond Earth was, and now they had finally witnessed it for themselves.
"Earth is so much better!" Hong exclaimed. "On other planets, you feel incredibly lonely. There's no one to rely on, and you have to be careful in everything you do, afraid of being discovered astonished!"
"Exactly!" Thunder God wholeheartedly agreed. "Outside the world, we're just country bumpkins who've just arrived in the city, but on Earth, we are the undisputed kings."
"Who in this world wants to be inferior? Who doesn't want to be superior?" Zhang Junbao laughed. "The universe is vast and boundless; no one can remain superior forever. Only the strong can reign supreme."
"That's right, only the strong can prevent all our fears from becoming reality." Luo Feng nodded and said firmly.
After his family started living a good life and his younger brother recovered from his broken leg, Luo Feng became somewhat complacent. Although he was still some distance from Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God in terms of strength, Luo Feng firmly believed that he could catch up if he kept trying.
But now, simply keeping up with the three of them is far from enough. If a powerful alien enemy truly appears, and the three of them are no match for it, can Luo Feng become Zhang Junbao and the other two's last resort?
This is Luo Feng's current goal. Zhang Junbao and the other two had already helped him too much in the early stages. Even after Luo Feng killed the East Sea Azure Dragon King, Hong gave him the Sky-Escaping Shuttle. After entering the universe, Luo Feng also realized just how valuable the Sky-Escaping Shuttle was; it would be enough to buy dozens of Star Level Spirit Reader.
Zhang Junbao and the other two have sacrificed so much for him; if he doesn't work harder, even Luo Feng himself won't be able to forgive himself.
"After we get back to Earth, you can handle everything else. Once I'm home, I'll go into the Virtual Universe and make money there. Don't bother me with any other nonsense!" Zhang Junbao said.
"You've found a way to make money?" Hong's eyes lit up. No matter how many treasures there are on Earth, they would only be able to make money by selling treasures and eventually run out of resources. Only by finding a way to make money in the universe could they establish themselves in the universe.
"That's right, some of these ideas... If this path works, it can not only improve our strength but also make a lot of money—a win-win situation."
"Making money, Babata! What conditions are needed to buy Earth?" Thunder God exclaimed.
During this trip to space, Babata naturally also researched how to become the lord of an unclaimed planet.
"In the universe, when you discover a planet that is legally unclaimed, there are three main options!"
Babata continued, "First, inform the Empire and receive a reward. The Empire will reward you with anywhere from 10 billion to 100 billion Black Dragon Coin, depending on the specific circumstances of the planet. Of course, you cannot become a lord in this situation."
Secondly, whoever discovers it has the right of first refusal to purchase it. The Empire will need to spend between 300 billion and 3 trillion Black Dragon Coin, depending on the specific resources of the planet being collected.
After purchasing it, you will become a lord, protected by the laws of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and no one else can infringe upon your rights.
Third, there's the option of cooperating with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire for management. In this case, the minimum payment would be 100 billion Black Dragon Coin. After that, as long as the import and export tariffs are paid on time, they won't interfere with anything else!
"Buying Earth is incredibly expensive; with our current financial resources, it's simply impossible," Thunder God exclaimed.
At least 300 billion
As for cooperating with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire for development, that option is not even worth considering; they would not allow a group of aliens to dictate their homeland.
With their goals clearly defined, they were highly motivated.
Five minutes later, strange spatial ripples appeared in the vast Sun System, and then a pitch-black, saucer-shaped spaceship appeared out of thin air.
"We're back on Earth!" The four looked at the blue star in the distant sky and felt a deep sense of familiarity.
Only after leaving and returning to Earth did I truly appreciate the feeling of home being in my heart.
This blue planet is their home!
"We're back!" Zhang Junbao said softly.
" Babata, go back to Earth!"
"Yes!"
In the blink of an eye, the Black Dragon Spaceship appeared in the sky above the Earth, unnoticed by anyone on Earth.
Luo Feng took out the " Azure Wave Marrow " he had purchased and distributed 50 kilograms to each person. Azure Wave Marrow can enhance the physical qualities of Planetary Level martial artists, making it perfect for their current stage.
"For now, let's each cultivate ourselves and digest what we've gained from the universe," Zhang Junbao said.
"Okay!" Hong and Thunder God returned to their respective residences, and Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng also returned to Mingyue Residential Area.
Just as Luo Feng was excitedly about sharing his experiences in the universe with his family, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was off.
"Dad, what happened? Why are you injured?" Luo Feng's father leaned against the bed, his face pale, while his mother looked worried.
Even his younger brother, Luo Hua, had scars on his body.
" Luo Hua, what exactly happened?" Luo Feng looked at his younger brother.
"Brother, it's Li Yao!"
After you went into seclusion for a week, Li Yao somehow found out some information and started testing ordinary people. Your parents were being verbally abused in the street for no reason, and the insults were extremely offensive.
Not long after, he discovered that you, Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God all seemed to have mysteriously disappeared, and he started acting recklessly. Dad got hit by a car while he was out, and that was his doing! But we can't contact you!
"If you don't show up soon, he might just Killer!" Luo Hua's eyes were filled with tears as he saw Luo Feng, the pillar of his family, appear. He could no longer hold back.
" Li Yao!" Luo Feng roared and charged out instantly.
Luo Feng returns from space only to find his family murdered; how could he not be furious?
Zhang Junbao also noticed the anomaly, but ignored it, letting Luo Feng handle it himself.
Inside a villa in the HR Alliance of Jiangnan Base City, Li Yao, his face contorted with rage, stared at a photo of his son, Li Wei, muttering repeatedly, " Luo Feng, although I don't know where you've gone, it's best if you never show up again!"
"If I can't kill you, can't I at least Undying your family?"
"Yao, why didn't you just kill his family? That despicable Luo Feng! My poor Wei'er!" Venina cried bitterly beside her.
"Don't worry, I won't kill his family easily. I'll torture them bit by bit until they have a mental breakdown, until they regret having given birth to Luo Feng as a son. I'll make them curse Luo Feng until they die!"
Just as Li Yao wife were fantasizing about how to torment Luo Feng's family, the HR Alliance Huaxia Headquarters, where they were located, suddenly collapsed!
Both were High-level War God with extremely fast reactions; this attack was not enough to kill them.
But when Li Yao wife came outside and saw Luo Feng floating in the air, they immediately roared in anger!
Luo Feng! You've finally shown up!
This is a busy downtown area, would you dare to kill someone?
"I anticipated your appearance. I've planted high explosives within a radius of tens of kilometers. If you dare to touch us, everyone nearby will die!" When Venina saw Luo Feng, her originally delicate face completely distorted, like a demon crawling out of hell, staring intently at Luo Feng.
"Don't think you're the only one who can take to the air, I can too!" As he spoke, Li Yao soared into the air, standing tall and facing Luo Feng. It was Zhang Junbao's Black Dragon Ascending Heaven Steps.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? Your good friend's agility will one day help us deal with you!" Li Yao revealed a ferocious smile.
"That's quite a movement technique. Aerial combat is no longer exclusive to you Spirit Reader!"
Luo Feng remained silent throughout, simply watching Li Yao and his wife's performance with cold indifference.
His anger had subsided, replaced by contempt for the ignorance of Li Yao and his wife.
"Have you two clowns had enough of your act?" Luo Feng said calmly.
He had seen many powerful beings in the universe, and when he saw Li Yao and his wife, the High-level War God who had once filled him with terror, he found it somewhat amusing.
"Don't move. If you move, everyone will die." Venina gestured to the remote control in her hand.
She firmly believed that even if Luo Feng had reached the Planetary Level and wanted to kill her and her husband, she would still have enough time to press the remote control and have everyone around them die with them.
Two small golden fish flew out of the Sky-Escaping Shuttle beneath Luo Feng's feet, and then returned the next moment.
It happened so fast that no one at the scene saw what was happening.
Li Yao suddenly realized that his wife, Venina, had lost her head, and the remote control in her hand was broken into pieces.
When he tried to move, he discovered that his body, which had been shrouded in the Black God Set, had been completely turned into minced meat.
Even with the Black God Set's weakening effect, the immense impact still shattered Li Yao's body into a bloody mess.
"It's time to clean up the garbage on Earth."
Luo Feng left behind these words and departed alone, leaving behind onlookers who were unaware of what was happening.
This farce involving a 100 billion yuan bounty also vanished completely with the murder of Li Yao and his wife.
However, Zhu Xi, a member of the Huaxia Country, was nearby. When he saw Li Yao and his wife being killed, he broke out in a cold sweat. Even he hadn't clearly seen how Luo Feng killed them, meaning that if Luo Feng wanted to kill him, it would have been effortless for him as well.
