In the Virtual Universe, searching for information is very simple.
Babata and Luo Feng eagerly absorbed these latest messages from the universe.
In the Virtual Universe, there was no need to hide himself. Luo Feng was like a country bumpkin, full of curiosity about everything.
Babata, on the other hand, focused on understanding what had happened over those 50,000 years.
It must synchronize its information database with the real world in order to better guide Luo Feng's growth and prevent him from making foolish judgments.
"The Rise of the Maple Leaf Empire."
"The top Genius Battle of the Virtual Universe Company, Ling Yu, was born in the Ganwu Universe Country. The property prices in the Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex have skyrocketed a thousandfold."
" Silver Armor Bulu."
" Time World Lord Luo, breaks through to the Immortal God and is bestowed the title of Time Marquis."
" The Ganwu Universe Country has banned the slave trade, leading to the bankruptcy of Galaxy Technology Company."
" The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has produced its second Immortal God, who was actually the teacher of the second emperor of the Maple Leaf Empire."
" Qiu Long Star has encountered danger and fallen into darkness----"
The more information Babata absorbed, the more astonished he became; so many major events had occurred in the past 50,000 years.
The first-place winner of the Genius Battle has emerged in the Ganwu Universe Country!
He had previously placed bets on the Genius Battle when he was with Hu Yanbo, and he remembered that the Ganwu Universe Country's performance had always been poor.
Back then, a Star Level genius from the Ganwu Universe Country caused Lord Babata to lose several hundred Hunyuan Unit.
Silver Armor Bulu! Truly impressive, possessing the life form of a Marquis Immortal plant, while he is merely a World Lord!
Babata knew that his master, Hu Yanbo, also possessed a Cloud-Touching Vine with a strength barely enough to be granted the rank of Marquis. To cultivate the Cloud-Touching Vine, his master had almost exhausted all his assets. The value of that Cloud-Touching Vine was far greater than that of the Yunmo Star Ship.
Unfortunately, the Cloud-Touching Vine had already pledged allegiance to its master and died alongside him. Otherwise, if Babata had possessed the Cloud-Touching Vine...
With their help, there's no need to be overly cautious.
And Naluo----
The master once said that he had good talent, but unfortunately he was too greedy. Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded and even became Marquis Immortal God. Three Axe Mountain has risen to prominence. Even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family wouldn't dare to provoke Three Axe Mountain anymore.
"My God, how much has changed in just 50,000 years!"
Babata plopped down on the ground and said speechlessly.
" Babata, after all, 50,000 years have passed, so some changes are normal," Luo Feng said, turning his head.
"Fifty thousand years is indeed an exaggeration for you, but it's a very short time on the scale of Universe Country. When I went on adventures with my master, it often took tens of thousands of years to return, and basically nothing had changed."
Babata retorted.
He continued.
"That chubby kid is right. Rainbow Dragon Star is very safe, and it has close ties with the Maple Leaf Empire. There's basically no danger here, but we still need to be cautious. After all, Qiu Long Star only protects the people on its own planet. There's still danger outside of Qiu Long Star. Who knows if there are any Star Pirates spies lurking on Qiu Long Star?"
"Yes, I'll be careful. Babata, can you find a way to get some money? I'm planning to buy some ore to take back. Do you have any suggestions?"
Luo Feng inquired.
"You don't need that Arc Blade Disc, you can sell it."
Babata said.
" The Arc Blade Disc, hmm, it's fine----" Although Luo Feng was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to part with it in order to improve the strength of the Golden Horned Beast. After all, he already had the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, so he really didn't need the Arc Blade Disc.
" Babata, do you know where there are any reliable shops on Qiu Long Star?" Luo Feng still trusted Babata completely.
"I just checked, and the two best-rated shops on Qiu Long Star are Rare Treasure Shop and Maple Leaf Pavilion. Both shops have excellent reputations. One is a 100,000-year-old establishment. It's rumored that after Lu Qingshan, the patriarch of the Maple Leaf Empire, broke through to the Domain Lord Level, he even went to this shop to trade with the owner at the time. Maple Leaf Pavilion is an official shop opened by the Maple Leaf Empire on Rainbow Dragon Star. Given the size of the Maple Leaf Empire, Maple Leaf Pavilion's selection is definitely very comprehensive."
"Let's go check out both of these shops now."
"Good!"
Between the two shops, Luo Feng favored Maple Leaf Pavilion more, since it was a shop owned by the family of Lu Qingshan, the patriarch of the Maple Leaf Empire. Therefore, he put it aside and planned to check out the Rare Treasure Shop first.
Before long, Luo Feng arrived at the entrance of Rare Treasure Shop.
Welcome.
At the entrance of Rare Treasure Shop, two beautiful female sales assistants hurriedly bowed, and one of them followed Luo Feng inside.
"Sir, how can Rare Treasure Shop do anything for you?"
"I'm planning to sell a Spirit Power weapon."
"What level of Spirit Power weapon is it?"
" Arc Blade Disc."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he took out the Arc Blade Disc from his Space Ring.
The Arc Blade Disc is a standard Spirit Power weapon that is widely known throughout the universe. In comparison, the Sky-Escaping Shuttle is a Spirit Power weapon created by Hu Yanbo himself, and therefore is not as famous.
" Arc Blade Disc, Tier 3 Telekinetic Weapon."
The pretty waitress exclaimed in surprise, then called over the owner of Rare Treasure Shop.
The owner, an elderly man in a long black robe, approached and, with a smile, asked, "A well-preserved Arc Blade Disc, if brand new, would be worth around 20 billion Black Dragon Coin. I can offer 16 billion Black Dragon Coin."
"Could we add some more?"
Luo Feng had a good idea of the price of this Arc Blade Disc. He had specifically looked it up before. The price had changed a lot in 50,000 years, but the price of this Arc Blade Disc hadn't changed much. If it were sold in a shop that specialized in selling Spirit Power weapons, it would probably be around 21 billion Black Dragon Coin.
The old man said that 20 billion was normal, since they bought in bulk and got a lower price. Luo Feng didn't care about that.
"A maximum of 16.5 billion Black Dragon Coin. After all, it's a second-hand item, and even if its condition is decent, some customers are still quite concerned about that."
O
The old man said with a smile.
"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded, not in a hurry to complete the transaction, but instead asked, "I heard that the patriarch of the Maple Leaf Empire once came to your shop to make a transaction?"
Upon hearing this...
The old man in the black robe instantly became much more energetic, straightening his back and saying with a proud expression, "It is indeed true. Back when the Maple Leaf Empire's patriarch, Lord Lu Qingshan, had just broken through to the Domain Lord, he sold a top-grade Level 4 Origin Force Armor, the Thunderlight Armor, in our shop, and was very satisfied with the transaction. Please follow me, sir."
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, and then followed the old man to the second floor.
The old man carefully pushed open the door of a house.
The furnishings inside are very simple; many of the tables and chairs are somewhat rotten, but they are still carefully protected.
In a prominent place in the room, there was a large photograph showing a man in a blue robe conducting a transaction inside the room.
The man's features were blurred, but the old man opposite him was clearly visible. Luo Feng looked at the old man beside him and noticed that they bore a resemblance.
"This is the old site where Lord Lu Qingshan made his transaction at our Rare Treasure Shop. The former store owner was my great-grandfather—"
"So Rare Treasure Shop has such a glorious history, no wonder it has such a good reputation," Luo Feng said politely.
The Rare Treasure Shop sealed off the house and even kept the photos, blatantly calling it a failure. However, Qiu Long Star and the Maple Leaf Empire did not pursue the matter, which clearly indicates that this was not fabricated by the other party. The Maple Leaf Empire's ancestor Lu Qingshan, did indeed conduct transactions here.
And since this Rare Treasure Shop did this under the guise of worshipping the Maple Leaf Empire's ancestor, no one else could say anything.
"Sir, now that you are aware of the reputation of our Rare Treasure Shop Rare Treasure Shop, would you be willing to sell this Arc Blade Disc to us?"
The old man asked with a smile.
"No rush." Luo Feng shook his head. "I'll go ask around at other stores. If the prices are similar, I'll sell it to your Rare Treasure Shop."
"Yes, that's how it should be."
The old man's smile froze slightly, then he nodded and said.
Luo Feng glanced at the blurred figure in the photo one last time, then turned and left Rare Treasure Shop.
No sooner had he left than the owner of Rare Treasure Shop sent a message in a Virtual Universe chat group.
"A little guy at the Planetary Level is selling Arc Blade Disc. I'm asking 16.5 billion Black Dragon Coin. Please don't bid higher."
This virtual chat group includes the owners of most similar shops on Rainbow Dragon Star.
The reason for doing this is, of course, to make more money.
If everyone keeps raising prices in order to secure goods, it will eventually lead to vicious competition, and ultimately it will be the merchants who suffer losses.
Only in this way can they earn more.
Looking at the replies he received, the owner of Rare Treasure Shop smiled slightly. He felt that the little guy would come back again.
On the other side, just as Luo Feng stepped out, Babata's voice rang out.
"Pah, what kind of 'Rare Treasure Shop' is this? It's a shady business, they treat customers differently based on their status—with the condition of your Arc Blade Disc, it could fetch at least 19.5 billion Black Dragon Coin secondhand in this shop, yet they only offered 16.5 billion. That's too easy money. Luo Feng, let's go straight to the Maple Leaf Pavilion."
"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded. 16.5 billion was not the ideal price he had in mind. However, this Rare Treasure Shop was not his first choice either, so he would go and take a look at the Maple Leaf Pavilion first.
Luo Feng soon returned to the Maple Leaf Pavilion.
This place is much bigger than the Rare Treasure Shop.
The store's interior is more grand, and it is filled with a wide variety of goods.
" Gold Water Stone, a very important ore on the Golden Horned Beast's list of consuming minerals."
Luo Feng quickly discovered a type of ore that he needed.
He waved his hand, dismissing the ordinary waiters, and walked up to an elderly man in a gray robe.
The old man had kind eyes, which made Luo Feng feel very approachable.
"Boss, I'm planning to sell a Spirit Power weapon. Could you name a price for me?" Luo Feng took out the Arc Blade Disc again.
"Oh, not bad Spirit Power weapon, the Arc Blade Disc —sells for 20 billion Black Dragon Coin."
"What, 20 billion?"
Luo Feng felt like he had misheard.
This item, brand new in a specialty store, only costs 21 billion. The 200 trade-in price is a bit too high.
Is Maple Leaf Pavilion doing charity work?
"What, is the price wrong?"
Lu San smiled and spoke.
"Boss, your price is much higher than other shops."
Luo Feng didn't hide anything and told the truth.
"That's normal." Lu San smiled and said, "Our Maple Leaf Pavilion is the largest shop of its kind on Qiu Long Star. We have a large customer flow, so it's normal for our profits to be a little thin. We need to sell more at a lower price. Although this Arc Blade Disc is worth 21 billion Black Dragon Coin when it's new, it may not always be available on Rainbow Dragon Star. Yours is practically the same as new. If someone urgently needs it, we can still sell it at a higher price. Sir, are you willing to make the transaction?"
"Alright, let's make a deal."
Hearing this, Luo Feng didn't say anything more.
However, my impression of the Maple Leaf Pavilion, Maple Leaf Empire, and the Maple Leaf Empire's patriarch has only improved.
Just as Babata had said, Rare Treasure Shop was indeed a shady business.
Lu San waved his hand, and a waiter brought over the contract. After both parties signed it, the Black Dragon Coin were deposited into Luo Feng's bank account.
After registering his citizenship, Luo Feng opened a Maple Leaf Bank account.
The main problem is that the two major banks have certain requirements, so he cannot apply for the service at the moment.
After the transaction was completed, Lu San continued, "Our Maple Leaf Pavilion has many treasures for sale. You can take a look and see if there's anything you need."
"Okay, sure."
The treasures of the Maple Leaf Pavilion were indeed comprehensive; Luo Feng selected several types of ores suitable for the Golden Horned Beast to devour.
I bought another B9 Grade Laser Gun. This thing can easily kill Star Level powerhouse. It can be used for self-defense. Even if I don't need it in the future, I can sell it secondhand without losing too much money.
After buying these items, Luo Feng had just sold the Arc Blade Disc and obtained 20 billion Black Dragon Coin, which were almost completely depleted.
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures around him, Luo Feng felt a little reluctant to leave, especially the second floor of the Maple Leaf Pavilion, which he had never been to before. He had heard that the treasures up there were even more precious, but one needed to verify their credentials to go up.
"Thank you for patronizing our Maple Leaf Pavilion. This is my business card, which includes my Virtual Universe ID. If you need to purchase or sell any treasures in the future, please send me a message in advance, and I can provide you with a quote."
Lu San handed over an elegant business card.
Thank you.
Luo Feng assumed this was Maple Leaf Pavilion's service procedure and politely accepted the business card. He had a very good impression of the Maple Leaf Pavilion and might do business with them frequently in the future.
Only after leaving the shop did Luo Feng call out to Babata.
"We've bought everything we needed, Babata. Why weren't you saying anything earlier?"
" Luo Feng, the owner of the Maple Leaf Pavilion Restaurant was very powerful—"
"Very strong? How strong?"
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised; he didn't feel any pressure in front of the old man.
"At least at the Domain Lord Level, possibly even the World Lord Level ----"
"Could it be World Lord Level?"
Luo Feng glanced back, utterly shocked. Then he looked at the business card in his hand, feeling its immense weight.
" Babata —I have a feeling that the Maple Leaf Empire is definitely not as simple as the information we've gathered suggests. There must be a lot of information that we don't have the authority to investigate. Let's hurry back to Earth."
Luo Feng spoke somewhat uneasily.
"Didn't Gao Sheng Weidi say he was going to treat us to a meal? Aren't you going? Didn't you say you wanted to see the Hundred Flavors Pavilion?" Babata asked.
"I'm not participating. I'll tell him I have something to do and leave early—I should hurry back and improve my strength. There are too many powerful beings in this universe; I'm too weak."
"It's good that you have this idea! It shows that my efforts in bringing you to the universe this time were not in vain."
Babata spoke with relief.
Although many unexpected things happened on this trip to Qiu Long Star, the ending was still good. Not only were all the missions completed, but Luo Feng also got to experience the universe and broaden his horizons.
Bringing Luo Feng to Qiu Long Star this time is certainly not just about registering an identity and accessing the Virtual Universe. With Luo Feng's strength, he's practically invincible on Earth. What would he do if he didn't experience the vastness of the universe and just give up?
He, Babata, also shoulders the mission of reviving Meteorite Ink Star!
