My Name is Gaosheng

“Through official channels, Ganwu Coins can be exchanged for Heilong Coins, and Heilong Coins can also be exchanged for Silverblue Coins,” Babata explained. “However, the reverse is not true… Silverblue Coins cannot be officially exchanged for Heilong Coins. Nor can Heilong Coins be officially exchanged for Ganwu Coins.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

He understood this principle.

If Earth were to join the cosmic human family, and cosmic currency was brought to Earth, some of Earth’s elites would naturally be eager to exchange for it. But to use dollars or Huaxia Coins to exchange for cosmic currency? Would cosmic nations agree to that?

“Of course, reverse exchanges are possible on the black market,” Babata added.

During their conversation,

The Heilong spacecraft had already accelerated, flying towards the distant Qiulong Star.

...

Luo Feng stood in the Heilong spacecraft’s control room, observing the external virtual display. He clearly saw the spacecraft approaching Qiulong Star, almost entering its atmosphere. Qiulong Star’s atmosphere was incredibly unique; with the naked eye, he could clearly see… various colored gas clouds slowly drifting, making the entire planet appear dazzling from space.

“Beep!”

“Receiving tractor beam signal,” Babata announced. “Luo Feng, the spacecraft will follow the tractor beam signal and arrive at the planet’s Docking Bay.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

He had also heard Babata explain that upon arriving at a planet, it’s absolutely impossible to just fly your spacecraft wherever you please; you must enter a Docking Bay! Of course… if you were as powerful as the Yunmo Star Master, you could certainly force your way in. On a high-level planet like Qiulong Star, only a Domain Lord can disregard the tractor beam and fly directly into the planet.

Naturally, a Domain Lord would generally show Qiulong Star some respect!

After all…

The master of this Qiulong Star was a Domain Lord!

...

The Heilong spacecraft penetrated the atmosphere. Through the external virtual display, Luo Feng immediately saw a massive silver city below. It was an incredibly vast Docking Bay, densely packed with countless spacecraft, both large and small. The smaller ones were only tens of meters, or even just over ten meters long.

The longer ones were typically large transport vessels, tens of thousands of meters long.

“Signal received, we’re heading to Zone C!” Babata’s voice came from the control panel screen.

“Zone A is for ordinary spacecraft, warships, and so on. Zone B is for B-class spacecraft and warships, and Zone C is for C-class spacecraft and warships. There’s even a Zone D above that,” Babata explained.

The enormous Docking Bay

was divided into several major zones. In Zone C, every single spacecraft and warship was incredibly expensive.

“Whoosh!”

The Heilong spacecraft slowly descended and finally landed.

The hatch opened.

“This planet’s gravity is roughly three times that of Earth,” Luo Feng said as he flew out of the hatch, instantly feeling the change in gravity.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng turned to look. A green-skinned strongman, wearing a gray uniform, about 2.8 meters tall, with two curved horns on his head, flew over and landed in front of Luo Feng. Respectfully and politely, with a smile, he spoke in fluent Cosmic Common Language: “Esteemed sir, welcome to Qiulong Star. The parking fee for your Heilong Mountain X81 model spacecraft is 600 Heilong Coins per year! For periods less than a year, it will still be charged as 600 Heilong Coins. Here is your parking card.” As he spoke, he presented a silver, translucent card with a ‘C’ symbol on it to Luo Feng with both hands.

“Luo Feng, remember what I told you before?” Babata had thoroughly instructed Luo Feng on how to handle various situations on Qiulong Star.

“Understood.”

Luo Feng smiled, flipped his hand, and a coin appeared. He casually tossed it over.

“A Ganwu Coin.” The green-skinned man’s eyes lit up.

According to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s official exchange rate, 1 Ganwu Coin can be exchanged for 1000 Heilong Coins. However, 1000 Heilong Coins cannot be exchanged back for 1 Ganwu Coin! Through the black market… it’s possible, but generally, it takes over a thousand, close to two thousand Heilong Coins, to exchange for one Ganwu Coin. And ordinary citizens usually don’t even know where the black market is.

A Ganwu Coin—that’s a symbol of status!

“Riding in a luxury item like an X81 model, and using Ganwu Coins… damn, his background must be incredibly powerful,” the green-skinned strongman thought, consumed by envy.

He was a Planet-level Ninth-tier warrior.

On Qiulong Star, he was just one of the most ordinary citizens. If he could break through to become a Star-level powerhouse, his status would soar. But… even a Star-level powerhouse, encountering someone riding in a C5-class pure metal luxury spacecraft and casually spending Ganwu Coins, would feel intimidated!

No need to ask!

This was proof of a powerful family and background.

“No need for change,” Luo Feng said casually.

“Thank you, sir.” The green-skinned strongman was extremely respectful. Such scions of powerful families could easily command tens of thousands of Planet-level Ninth-tier subordinates.

Just then—

A spacecraft, painted with strange black and white alternating patterns, also landed less than a hundred meters from Luo Feng. Another staff member in a gray uniform flew over. The hatch had already opened during the descent, and a chubby, black-haired young man was the first to fly out. He had two purple markings on his face, and his eyes were narrowed, making him look quite cute.

His height was similar to Luo Feng’s.

“Wow!”

The chubby young man darted out, immediately followed by four burly men resembling gorillas.

“The four behind him: three are Star-level Third-tier, and one is Star-level Eighth-tier. The chubby young man is Planet-level Third-tier,” Babata immediately informed Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was secretly astonished.

The chubby young man actually had four Star-level bodyguards under him. It truly was infuriating how some people were so much better off! Arriving at a planet even more powerful and prosperous than the Silverblue Empire’s capital planet… Luo Feng finally witnessed a true scion of a powerful family.

“Damn, damn, damn!”

The chubby young man darted to Luo Feng’s Heilong spacecraft, caressing its hull, his eyes gleaming as he shrieked, “Holy cow, this is an old model from over a million years ago, a Heilong Mountain X81! Anyone who had one of these would have collected it long ago! And it’s a luxury item cast from pure U-Yttrium metal! To think I’d see such a spacecraft today!”

“Hey, brother.” The chubby man suddenly darted in front of Luo Feng, a wide smile on his face. “This X81 spacecraft of yours, how about you transfer it to me when you don’t want it anymore? I’ll be able to afford it in ten years.”

“Oh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Gaosheng Weidi! Just call me Gaosheng.” He spoke in fluent Cosmic Common Language.

“Gaosheng, this Heilong spacecraft, I only managed to get it fully operational after extensive modifications and repairs. I’m not willing to sell it yet,” Luo Feng said casually, following Babata’s earlier advice.

“Hmm, an old model from over a million years ago. After a million years, many parts would have corroded. Repairing it isn’t easier than buying a new one. Brother, you truly are a connoisseur!” Gaosheng praised. “Driving a pure metal luxury item like this, now that’s truly impressive!”

Luo Feng smiled.

In reality, the Heilong spacecraft had been sitting in the Earth’s seabed within the mothership wreckage for nearly a million years without ever being used, so the corrosion was very minor.

“Brother, you haven’t introduced yourself yet,” the chubby man said with a grin.

“My name is Luo Feng,” Luo Feng replied with a smile.

“Brother Luo Feng, are you alone? No bodyguards? From here to Qiulong City, it’s still several thousand kilometers. And on Qiulong Star, only the cities are protected; outside the cities, there’s no protection. We might encounter bandits along the way,” the chubby man said.

Luo Feng smiled.

Whoosh!

Two Flowing Silver Guards, clad in black, appeared beside him.

“Damn, Flowing Silver Guards?” Gaosheng nodded repeatedly. “Two Flowing Silver Guards, one to protect, one to entangle the enemy. When a Flowing Silver Guard expands, it can easily envelop hundreds of people with its forelimbs. After the enemy breaks free, the other Flowing Silver Guard can then restrain them. Two Flowing Silver Guards rotating like that, it’s incredibly safe.”

Luo Feng chuckled.

The Flowing Silver Guards had successfully restrained a colossal Golden Horn Behemoth back then. Restraining humans, they could indeed envelop hundreds at once.

“Brother Luo Feng, if you don’t mind, let’s travel together. With my four bodyguards, no one will dare cause trouble,” Gaosheng said with a grin.

“Agree to him. Traveling with him will save you a lot of hassle,” Babata advised.

“Let’s go together,” Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng and Gaosheng soared into the air, with the four bodyguards following behind them.

At the same time, protective armor appeared on Gaosheng and his four bodyguards, and Moyun Armor also materialized on Luo Feng.

...

The group of six flew through the air.

“Luo Feng, how much did you pay for that Heilong spacecraft?” Gaosheng couldn’t help but ask. As a spacecraft enthusiast, he was clearly obsessed with that vessel.

“Babata?” Luo Feng called out mentally.

He had no idea how much to say.

“Tell him it cost 9 billion Heilong Coins to buy, and 2 billion Heilong Coins for modifications and repairs,” Babata instructed.

“That much?” Luo Feng was shocked.

At the official exchange rate, 1 Heilong Coin could be exchanged for 1000 Silverblue Coins. This meant the spacecraft cost 11 billion Heilong Coins, equivalent to 11 trillion Silverblue Coins.

“What do you mean ‘that much’? This is pure U-Yttrium metal. The entire spacecraft weighs about 2 million tons. Each ton of U-Yttrium metal is worth 3,000 Heilong Coins, which is about 3 million Silverblue Coins. The U-Yttrium metal material alone is worth 6 trillion Silverblue Coins,” Babata explained. “Luo Feng, don’t look at the universe with Earth’s perspective! One ton of U-Yttrium metal is three thousand Heilong Coins! One ton of B-class Profound Iron Essence is only 9 Heilong Coins. A-class Profound Iron? Even cheaper.”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

Indeed, it wasn’t expensive. One ton of Profound Iron Essence was only 9 coins. U-Yttrium metal at three thousand coins a ton wasn’t expensive!

“This is pure metal. If it were an alloy, it would be much cheaper, as alloys have higher hardness and better effects. A C5-class spacecraft made of alloy would cost only a tenth, or even less! So… manufacturing a spacecraft from pure metal is a luxury. It’s like on your Earth, building a car out of gold.”

Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

No wonder Gaosheng looked so surprised… pure metal was indeed a luxury.

If you weren’t super rich, you couldn’t afford to play with it!

“This Heilong spacecraft, I bought it for 9 billion Heilong Coins, and spent 2 billion on modifications and repairs,” Luo Feng said.

“Whoa!”

Gaosheng nodded repeatedly. “Brother, you got a good deal. These old models are hard to find now. In another ten years, my dad has promised to transfer a planet to my name. That planet has 11 billion people, and roughly estimated, each person can earn me 100 Carlo Coins a year, which is about 0.06 Heilong Coins. So, my annual income would be over 600 million Heilong Coins. With a planet, it’s not hard to get a loan for 20 billion Heilong Coins.”

Luo Feng smiled, but was inwardly shocked.

Good heavens?

A planet transferred to his name? 11 billion people earning money for him?

Luo Feng finally understood the difference between Earth’s super-rich and the universe’s super-rich. On Earth, assets were measured in houses. For the universe’s super-rich, it was measured in planets!

A true magnate!

At the same time, Luo Feng also realized…

How incredibly powerful the background of the Heilong spacecraft’s original owner, found in Earth’s seabed, must have been! Unfortunately, the Yunmo Star Master had annihilated everyone in his entire interstellar fleet with a single move, and that person had also died! The starfield within a thousand light-years of Earth was completely occupied by his teacher. Even that powerful figure, who died in such a frustrating way, his background… clearly didn’t dare to provoke an Immortal being.

So, he died in silence.
