Luo Feng's Assets

After sweeping clean the underground steel city on Mars, Luo Feng flew out of the city gates. “Luo Feng, wait a moment,” Babata called out. “What is it, Babata?” Luo Feng asked, a little confused. “Is there still treasure in this steel city?” “Fool! The most valuable thing in the entire steel city isn't Black Iron Mother, nor Black Iron Essence! It's… the steel city itself, built almost entirely from Black Iron!” Babata couldn't help but exclaim. Luo Feng was stunned. “Luo Feng, don't you know you're very poor right now?” Babata chuckled mischievously. “Very poor?” “Do you have money? I'm talking about currency that can be used in the cosmos, not Earth money. Do you have any?” Babata pressed. Luo Feng frowned slightly. On Earth, money no longer held meaning for him, but in the vast cosmos, he was indeed very poor. First, his cash was zero, and his cosmic bank account balance was also zero. “Your teacher did prepare three bank accounts for you, but those are only accessible when you reach Stellar Level, Cosmic Level, and Domain Lord,” Babata explained. “Before your teacher's demise, he set up these three accounts for you through the Virtual Universe Network. And he required that you personally claim them once your strength met the requirements.” “Your Golden Horn body has reached Stellar Level, but are you going to use your Golden Horn body to go to the bank?” Babata asked. Only by reaching Stellar Level could he access the wealth in the first bank account! But his Golden Horn body couldn't reveal itself, and his human body's strength wasn't enough! “So, Luo Feng, your current cash is zero, and your bank accounts are effectively nonexistent.” “You do have quite a few treasures. The Yunmo Star ship is priceless! The Black Dragon spaceship is also very expensive! But if you bring out the Yunmo Star ship, without a doubt, even Domain Lords would try to snatch it, even Immortal powerhouses would try to snatch it! That would be courting death! As for the Black Dragon spaceship, you need to use it yourself.” “The Moyun Vine is already bound to you.” “The Duntiansuo arc blade disk, you need to use it yourself.” “The only things truly sellable are the Flowing Silver Guard, and the Muya Jing and Nengjing I have here,” Babata said. “But the Moyun Vine needs Muya Jing to grow! And Nengjing? The Black Dragon spaceship also consumes energy. If you use the Black Dragon spaceship long-term, my Nengjing reserves might not even be enough, and we'll need to buy more Nengjing in the future!” Luo Feng was a little dumbfounded. He was the inheritor of Yunmo Star, yet now, he had no cash! Valuables? The Black Dragon spaceship, mental force weapons, Muya Jing, and Nengjing were all necessities. “So, Luo Feng, until your human body reaches Stellar Level, you'll remain very poor,” Babata said helplessly. “Aren't there spaceship wrecks?” Luo Feng couldn't help but ask. “Those are wrecks, trash. It's too much trouble to even re-melt them,” Babata replied. “How much money can they sell for? One Muya Jing can buy countless wrecks.” Luo Feng frowned. Without foresight, one is bound to have immediate worries. Luo Feng knew very well that he would inevitably enter the cosmos in the future. For example, some metal combinations needed for the 'Original Body Heaven and Earth' cultivation could only be bought. Relying on himself to find them in the cosmos, when would that be? In the vast cosmos, even Immortal powerhouses valued money and currency. Of course, it was cosmic universal currency! Not currency issued by a single planet like Earth. How could he manage without money? Without money, he couldn't even open an account on the 'Virtual Universe Network'. “Luo Feng, I'll give you the bottom line!” Babata declared. “The 'Nengjing' in my storage space, if you frequently use the Black Dragon spaceship, will probably run out in a few decades.” “The Muya Jing I have here is enough to make you reach Stellar Level 1. And allow the Moyun Vine to grow to around Stellar Level 5 or 6,” Babata continued. “Other than that, nothing. How to handle the Nengjing and Muya Jing is up to you.” Luo Feng pondered carefully! His wealth was divided into three tiers. The highest tier: The Yunmo Star ship, the corpses of Immortal powerhouses, etc., were astonishing riches! Unfortunately, if he brought out such heavy treasures, it would be courting death! The second tier: The three bank accounts his teacher gave him, which required sufficient strength to withdraw money. The third tier: The Black Dragon spaceship, Duntiansuo, arc blade disk, Flowing Silver Guard he was currently using… and the Muya Jing and Nengjing stored with Babata. “I can't bear to part with them, I can't bear to part with them,” Luo Feng shook his head. “So, your biggest sum of money right now is all this Black Iron!” Babata excitedly shouted. “These are all Black Iron raw materials! Not those alloy wrecks! Spaceship alloy wrecks are the least valuable, while raw materials can be used to manufacture tools, weapons, and so on, which are quite valuable.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. Just as iron ore and other raw materials are valuable on Earth, in the cosmos, perhaps metal raw materials can be excavated in many places, but excavation also requires cost! “Black Iron is an A8-grade metal, very cheap. But it's the sheer quantity that matters!” Babata exclaimed. “Back then, interstellar transport ships were specifically used to transport millions of miners to dig it up.” “It seems this is my first big haul,” Luo Feng said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the steel city. “You handle the dismantling, and I'll handle putting it into the storage space!” Babata shouted. “Deal!” Boom! Boom! Boom! The steel city occasionally let out rumbling sounds. With Luo Feng's dismantling and Babata's storage space working in tandem, the efficiency was very high. The steel city, roughly 10 kilometers long and wide, had large chunks of Black Iron raw material all collected by Babata. Even some Black Iron that had been cast into pillars was taken. After more than eight hours, the entire steel city vanished, leaving behind only some decayed remnants. “Luo Feng, discarding some of the decayed parts, we collected a total of 9.28 billion tons of Black Iron raw material,” Babata said excitedly. “Haha, with just these raw materials, Luo Feng, you now have your first capital.” Luo Feng flew out to the surface. From high above, he looked down at the Martian ground. “Unfortunately, there are still many Black Iron veins underground, but mining them is very difficult,” Babata said helplessly. “Even with great strength, one person cannot mine an entire vein. Unless it's a pure metal vein.” “Don't be too greedy,” Luo Feng knew well. This was the result of the hard work of over three million miners combined with machinery. Earth, Huaxia Nation, Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City. In the evening, the crimson Sun hung in the west. A giant black saucer-shaped spaceship hovered thousands of meters above Yangzhou City, yet no country on Earth detected it. The spaceship's outer hatch opened, and a young man in ordinary casual clothes flew out. The spaceship suddenly vanished. The young man swooped down. “I'm back! It's amazing, going to Mars in the morning and returning to Earth in the evening,” Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim. “And I even made a fortune!” Over three million miners had worked hard to mine this. These 9.28 billion tons of Black Iron were far more valuable than the mere two-plus tons of Black Iron Mother. After all, it was the sheer quantity! “Dad, Daddy!” In the courtyard, two children playing and running, one excitedly called out. The other child also looked up. Indeed, their father, Luo Feng, was swooping down from high above. “Pingping, Xiaohai, come, give Daddy a kiss.” Luo Feng squatted down and hugged his two sons, smiling. “Beep, beep—” A car horn sounded. Luo Feng turned to look, seeing Xu Xin driving her car towards the garage, deliberately honking, which made the two children shout: “Mommy, Mommy.” “Dinner will be ready soon, Xiao Feng, you and Xu Xin just happened to come back at this time, what a coincidence,” Gong Xinlan said with a smile. Luo Feng's life was very comfortable. His Golden Horn beast body was immersed in the cultivation of 'Absolute Space' within his inner world, absorbing nearly a hundred tons of Black Iron Essence every day. Multitasking was simple for Luo Feng! For Immortal powerhouses, the processing speed of their souls was no less than that of intelligent lifeforms, calculating trillions of times per second! Luo Feng's soul was already at 'Stellar Level 3'. If he were to multitask controlling objects, controlling hundreds or even thousands of objects moving on different trajectories would be effortless. Even if each was controlled with full power, a Stellar Level 3 consciousness could control 32 streams of ultimate mental force! That meant Luo Feng could multitask 32 ways! Each at maximum efficiency! Yes! 32! Back when Luo Feng was Planet Level 3, his consciousness strength could control 19 streams of mental force! Now, his Stellar Level 3 soul consciousness could control 32 streams of mental force! Luo Feng often took his spaceship to leave Earth and visit other planets in the Solar System. No one noticed, as Luo Feng returned too quickly. Even for the farthest planet in the Solar System, with the Black Dragon spaceship, two days round trip was enough. Earth was peaceful. Hongning Base City. Spring 2062, inside the giant spaceship that served as the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, in a spacious room, there were two beds, surrounded by numerous instruments and equipment, all to sustain the lives of the two powerhouses. On the left lay Lei Shen in white robes, and on the right lay Hong in black clothes. “Dojo Master.” Outside the room, two people stood by the glass, looking inside, their eyes filled with a hint of sadness. “Bingshan, when will the Dojo Master wake up?” Yaorao whispered. “I don't know. But I will wait, forever,” the cold man beside her said. “Mm,” Yaorao nodded slightly. But then, “Drip—drip—drip—” a piercing alarm suddenly sounded outside. Boom! A group of doctors immediately rushed in from outside. Yaorao and Bingshan, the two chief guards, also stared wide-eyed inside. The door immediately opened, and two elderly doctors quickly entered, while everyone else was kept outside. “Brainwaves, we've detected brainwaves!” an excited white-haired elderly doctor shouted. “Both Dojo Masters have brainwaves, and they're getting stronger!” another doctor excitedly shouted. The instruments displayed brainwaves. The brainwaves of the two Dojo Masters rose and fell, as if competing, each stronger than the last. They grew stronger and stronger! Suddenly, the black-clad 'Hong's' eyelids trembled slightly, and then, he slowly opened his eyes.
