“Have Luo Feng and the others already left?”

Seeing that the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship was no longer there, Xu Zong felt relieved.

Before long, he used the transparent card to find Ailin’s spaceship. The staff members looked a bit strange when they saw that the owner of the spaceship had changed, but they didn’t dare to say much. It was obvious that someone who could obtain a spaceship from a cosmic-level powerhouse was not someone they could afford to offend.

“Suiling! Suiling! Wake up and get to work!”

Xu Zong clapped his hands and called out to his intelligence with his consciousness.

“Sigh.”

The one who greeted Xu Zong was a long sigh from Suiling.

“The virtual universe is truly vast and profound, unfathomable. Unfortunately, I have searched countless information in it, but I haven’t found any news about the Suifire Empire…”

Since Xu Zong opened a virtual universe account, Suiling had logged into the virtual universe network using this account and became obsessed with it, searching for a large amount of information. He kept up with this era and knew that he had long been separated from his own time.

“For now, let’s not talk about that. You take control of this spaceship and let’s go back to Earth!”

“A C3-grade alloy spaceship? Very easy.”

Suiling easily broke through the intelligence of the spaceship and took control of it.

Before long, the slave traders arrived with their beautiful slaves, and the exchange was successful.

Xu Zong put all these slaves into the spaceship and then started the spaceship, flying into space.

Shortly after entering space, the radar of the spaceship showed that a Black Dragon Mountain X81 model spaceship appeared ahead.

Soon, Luo Feng sent a communication, and Xu Zong answered the call.

“Is everything done?”

Luo Feng asked with a smile on his face.

“Everything is done. Let’s meet in the virtual universe later!”

Xu Zong also smiled.

He obviously had no intention of leaving the spaceship or meeting with Luo Feng and the others. It would be embarrassing if those slaves were exposed.

Babata sent the coordinates of Earth to Suiling, and the two spaceships headed towards the depths of the universe. After accelerating to the speed of light, they trembled for a while and entered the dark universe.

After entering the dark universe, Xu Zong returned to the master bedroom of the spaceship.

“Suiling, connect me to the virtual universe network!”

“Understood.”

“Connecting to the virtual universe…”

A majestic and deep voice sounded in Xu Zong’s mind, and soon his consciousness entered a dark space.

…………

When he opened his eyes again, he saw an extremely ancient city in front of him. The surrounding buildings were made of large and orderly rocks, and the ground was paved with smooth stone roads. There were people of various races walking on the streets, of different heights, sizes, ages, and genders. Many races couldn’t even name them, and most people were wearing plain gray clothes, with a fist-sized spirit on each person’s shoulder.

Xu Zong looked down at himself and saw that he looked the same as in reality, wearing ordinary gray clothes, and there was a handsome young elf in a black suit standing on his shoulder.

“It doesn’t seem much different from reality!”

Xu Zong thought to himself.

Just like in the virtual space on Earth, his body in the virtual universe had also become an apprentice-level fourth-order, and the physical abilities of everyone in the virtual universe were at this level, which was fair.

He naturally knew that this virtual universe was created by the supreme existence of the human race using a special secret technique. It could perfectly replicate everything in reality. Not to mention weapons and housing, even domains and laws could be simulated, and there would be no mistakes!

“This is the Black Dragon Mountain Island on the ‘Qianwu Continent’ at the edge of the virtual universe.”

Suiling stood on Xu Zong’s shoulder and explained to him, “There are a total of 1008 continents in the virtual universe, corresponding to 1008 cosmic countries. Each continent is made up of vast land and islands. In addition, there are many floating islands and other places.”

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that this Black Dragon Mountain Island is just an island. The Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain has more than 8,000 star systems, and countless people live in the virtual universe, making this island larger than any planet in the real universe.”

“When you log in within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, you will naturally appear on Black Dragon Mountain Island. When you log in to the virtual universe in other empires, you will appear on the islands of those empires. If you log in to other cosmic countries, you will appear on other continents. If you want to go to other islands or continents, you must use teleportation arrays, and the farther the distance, the greater the cost.”

“It seems like everything here requires money!”

Xu Zong couldn’t help but comment.

Seeing that most people around him were wearing gray clothes, and only a few were wearing other clothes and armor, he knew that even changing one’s appearance in this virtual universe required money!

“Luo Feng has sent a location sharing request.”

“Accept.”

Before long, Xu Zong met Luo Feng and the others on a street following the map displayed by Suiling.

“How is it? Are you satisfied?”

As soon as they met, Thunder God approached and said with a smirk.

“Of course I’m satisfied. Ailin sold for a total of 28 trillion Black Dragon coins!”

Xu Zong laughed and showed his account balance to Luo Feng and the others. It was over 27 billion Qianwu coins, which was equivalent to over 27 trillion Black Dragon coins.

“28 trillion!”

Thunder God exclaimed.

Realizing what he had said, he quickly covered his mouth. Fortunately, he spoke in Chinese, so although it attracted some onlookers, it didn’t cause much attention.

“These cosmic-level powerhouses are really valuable!”

Hong couldn’t help but be amazed.

Luo Feng was also shocked. His third-grade high-quality Arc Blade Disk was only sold for 18 billion Black Dragon coins, but a first-grade slave at the cosmic level was sold for 28 trillion!

“With so much money, Xiaosi can completely buy the Earth, right?”

At this moment, Hong suddenly said in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Thunder God’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right, with so much money, we can let Xiaozong buy the Earth and make him the Lord of Earth. This way, Earth will be protected by the laws of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!”

Luo Feng also couldn’t help but get excited.

“Buy the Earth? No problem, how much does it cost?”

Xu Zong was slightly taken aback, then asked readily.In the original story, Luo Feng bought the Earth just before the cosmic adventurers were about to conquer it, and he has always been the first line of defense for Earth’s safety.

However, there was no need for them, the four from Earth, to distinguish between each other. The sooner they could ensure Earth’s safety, the sooner they could venture freely in the universe!

“According to the laws of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, if an unclaimed planet is discovered and one wishes to buy its ownership directly, it would cost approximately 300 billion to 30 trillion in purchase money,” Babata, standing on Luo Feng’s shoulder, said.

“However, buying a planet has to be done at the official office of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on the Star Biyan Star in reality. The procedures are complicated and might take about a month. No one has discovered Earth yet, so it’s not too late to handle it next time.”

What Babata didn’t mention was the most important point. Because Huyan Bo had previously concealed the space coordinates near Earth for nearly a thousand light-years, no one could find Earth now. Once they became the lord of Earth, they would likely be regarded as the heir of the Meteor Star, attracting the great enemy who killed Huyan Bo years ago!

Therefore, it would be best to wait until cosmic adventurers discover Earth through a space wormhole before proceeding with becoming the lord of Earth. By then, it would be a matter of course.

“That makes sense.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xu Zong was not in a hurry. If Luo Feng in the original story had enough time, they, with their ample funds, certainly had more.

“By the way, those star-level and celestial-level robber slaves, I sold them to the slave trader who met with us. I sold them for more than two billion Black Dragon coins,” Luo Feng suddenly remembered something and displayed a transfer information, intending to give it to Xu Zong.

These slaves were almost all obtained by Xu Zong’s metal robots. After all, Luo Feng’s Silver Guard had no output and didn’t catch a single robber.

“No need, you guys can keep the money,” Xu Zong waved his hand casually, then moved his mind.

“By the way, I’ll give you these funds too. In the future, whether you’re venturing in the universe or in this virtual universe, there will definitely be many places where you need money!”

In a short while, Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng all received a message notification.

“One billion Qian Witch coins!”

The three of them exclaimed in unison, even the usually calm Hong couldn’t help but get excited.

This was one billion Qian Witch coins! It could be exchanged for one quadrillion Black Dragon coins officially, but under normal circumstances, it could be exchanged for 1.5 quadrillion Black Dragon coins through other channels!

Even the very wealthy star-level beings didn’t have that much money!

Naturally, the three of them couldn’t help but get excited.

“With this money, we won’t have to sleep on the streets in the virtual universe anymore!” Thunder God sighed.

“We can also buy a lot of cultivation resources!” Hong visibly rejoiced.

“I can also buy many precious metal combinations to let the Golden Horned Beast’s avatar evolve by swallowing them!” Luo Feng’s heart also trembled with excitement.

“You’re a good brother. These one billion Qian Witch coins are worth much more than two Mu Yajing a month!” Babata couldn’t help but praise. If Huyan Bo had such a good brother back then, he might not have been hunted down and killed.

“By the way, here’s a reminder for you guys. To prevent Earth from being exposed, it’s best to find a planet more than a thousand light-years away to serve as a warehouse base. In the future, you’ll definitely need to buy a lot of cultivation resources in the virtual universe. The delivery address can’t be Earth, it can only be the name of the planet where the warehouse base is.”

“That’s right, we should do that!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Also, we need to buy a safe enough fortress!” Xu Zong remembered something and suggested, “If cosmic adventurers come and check the Earth’s network, they will definitely find our families first and threaten us by holding them hostage. It’s necessary to buy a safe base and let our families live there!”

In the original story, Xu Xin was captured countless times, her role as a tool was too strong!

Everyone, including Babata, nodded in agreement.

“Babata, you handle these things. Find a suitable warehouse planet and choose a high-level fortress base. As for the standard… Xu Zong, what do you think?” Luo Feng looked at Xu Zong, seeking the opinion of the richest person present.

“It must be able to withstand the attack of a cosmic-level powerhouse!” Xu Zong answered without hesitation.

“Wow, that’s going to be quite expensive. We’ll have to scale down. We can’t choose a survival base, we should go for a castle-style one, right?” Babata muttered, quickly searching on Luo Feng’s shoulder.
