Returning to Earth

“Two castles?” The Director and the others swallowed hard. Indeed, these weren't on the same level. The wealthiest individuals on Bailan Star could at most build their own castles. But to purchase such luxurious, detachable, mobile castles, the cost was clearly much higher. “You can choose any castle style and interior decoration. And castles also vary in price depending on the materials used,” the fair-skinned young man said. Luo Feng quickly made his selections based on the holographic projection. In just a moment, the style, interior decoration, and main castle materials were all chosen. “Each of the two structures costs 1.2 billion Silverblue Coins, totaling 2.4 billion Silverblue Coins. If paid in Black Dragon Coins, you'll receive a 20% discount, making it 1.92 million Black Dragon Coins!” The fair-skinned young man's voice trembled slightly. What a massive sum. 2.4 billion Silverblue Coins, more expensive than the entire warehouse base. “Mm.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. The materials used for these two villas were comparable to those of a B-grade battleship, especially the core master bedroom and other important rooms, which were reinforced with C-grade alloy. This was top-tier customization for esteemed guests. After the group of high-ranking officials from the Commerce Department left, Luo Feng returned to the Heilong Spaceship. After all, the only residential area in the warehouse base was cold and dilapidated, far from the comfort of the spaceship. “Babata, enter the Virtual Universe.” Luo Feng sat in the comfortable lounge of the Heilong Spaceship. In the Virtual Universe, on Black Dragon Mountain Island, under the jurisdiction of Ganwu Continent. Luo Feng sat alone in a corner of a bar, communicating with Babata through his mind. “Babata, start ordering, buy metals.” Luo Feng instructed. “Which combination should I buy?” Babata quickly asked. “With the simultaneous aid of 'Azure Wave Marrow' and 'Muya Crystal,' I believe my physical constitution will reach Planetary Level Seven in at most half a year! My spiritual force will reach Star Level One. Then I can access the bank account my teacher left for me. So—purchase half a year's worth of metals, and the price should not exceed 10 billion Black Dragon Coins,” Luo Feng communicated mentally. The Golden Horned Beast's consumption of metals was his biggest expenditure. Currently, at Star Level, the most expensive and best metal combination would cost over 60 billion Black Dragon Coins per year! The consumption for cultivating "Prime Universe" would be even more terrifying; Luo Feng dared not even think about it now. “Alright.” Babata quickly began searching. “Luo Feng, confirmed. There are two metal combinations for half a year's metal consumption. One set costs 6.28 billion Black Dragon Coins and increases evolution speed by 39 times. The other costs 10.22 billion Black Dragon Coins! It increases evolution speed by 51 times. The second set slightly exceeds 10 billion Black Dragon Coins, you choose.” “The second set.” Luo Feng didn't hesitate. “Alright, I'll place the order then. Should I have them deliver to Bailan Star?” “Yes, Bailan Star!” He quickly settled his affairs. He had initially gained 18 billion Black Dragon Coins from selling the Third-tier spiritual weapon 'Arc Blade Disk', spent 5 billion Black Dragon Coins on slave servants, and over 200 million on Azure Wave Marrow. The castles and warehouse base were negligible in comparison. Now, after buying so much pure metal, his remaining funds were approximately 2.5 billion Black Dragon Coins. “Babata, buy Purple Light Dew!” Luo Feng said. “Really buy it?” Babata couldn't help but ask. “Yes.” Luo Feng nodded. There were many treasures in the universe beneficial for physical evolution. The better the effect, the more astonishing the price, of course! For instance, the 'Azure Wave Marrow' Luo Feng bought earlier had a promoting effect on Planetary Level powerhouses, costing 9,000 yuan per gram! Whereas items extremely effective for Apprentice Level Warriors, similar to Earth's plant spirits, cost only about one-thousandth of the Azure Wave Marrow's price! The Purple Light Dew Luo Feng wanted to buy was very cheap, a common beverage among wealthy families. It was sold by the kilogram. 1 kilogram of Purple Light Dew cost 10 Black Dragon Coins! “Babata, are you sure? 15 milliliters of Purple Light Dew can allow an advanced student from a Martial Arts Hall on Earth to evolve into 'Apprentice Level One'?” Luo Feng asked again. “Don't worry, absolutely no problem! You're buying it for those 'advanced students'; they aren't even Apprentice Level One! They can't digest anything too good. For their physical constitution, 15 milliliters of Purple Light Dew will definitely have a miraculous effect,” Babata said. “You haven't even made money from Earthlings yet, but you're spending so much on them now.” “Buy it then, buy... a hundred thousand tons of Purple Light Dew!” Luo Feng said. “That much? Are you sure?” “Confirmed!” Luo Feng nodded. Purple Light Dew's density was less than water; 15 milliliters was about 10 grams. One kilogram of Purple Light Dew could allow 100 advanced students from Martial Arts Halls to evolve into Warriors! One ton, that's 100,000 people! A hundred thousand tons would be enough to turn 10 billion people into Warriors! “I alone cannot make Earthlings rise; only by making everyone strong can we achieve that.” “But all I can do is give them a push! The real effort still depends on countless Earthlings,” Luo Feng thought to himself. The number of Warriors on Earth was very, very small! The ratio of ordinary people to Warriors was almost 10,000:1, so there were only about 1 million Warriors on the entire Earth. However, 'advanced students' were much more numerous. Although there were only about three advanced students in a high school, a ratio of nearly 1,000:1, most advanced students in Martial Arts Halls were over twenty years old! On Earth, the ratio of ordinary people to advanced students in Martial Arts Halls was roughly 100:1, and this was because many gave up when they felt there was no hope. “100:1, I want every advanced student in a Martial Arts Hall to become a 'Warrior'! This way, out of Earth's 7 billion people, there will be 70 million Warriors!” “People will know that reaching the advanced student level means they can transform into a Warrior. They'll definitely work even harder.” “Perhaps the ratio will even improve, with one out of every 50 people reaching the advanced student level!” Luo Feng was hopeful! Once the number of Warriors on Earth reached hundreds of millions! It should be known that Warriors could absorb cosmic energy and would gradually evolve. Such a massive evolving population would lead to a significant evolution of the entire human gene pool on Earth! Perhaps in twenty years, there would be even more Warriors, and in a few centuries, Earth might very well be entirely populated by Warriors! Adulthood would mean Apprentice Level One Warrior! This was the first step in the evolution of Earthlings, as Luo Feng envisioned it! “It's been bought.” “100,000 tons of Purple Light Dew. Because of the large quantity, I found the lowest discount among many merchants, 20% off! Total price 800 million Black Dragon Coins!” Babata said. “Mm.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. 100,000 tons could be given to 10 billion advanced students from Martial Arts Halls! Currently, Earth's total population is less than 7 billion, so this much Purple Light Dew would last a very long time. That same evening. A transport ship arrived directly at Bailan Star, delivering numerous components for two mobile castles, according to the client 'Luo Feng's' request. Only one castle was assembled, while the other remained as components. In just about 20 minutes, a nine-story castle, one kilometer in length and width, was completed. On Luo Feng's second day on Bailan Star, the first merchant delivered a large quantity of metals. (Luo Feng had ordered metals from three different merchants). On Luo Feng's third day on Bailan Star, 100,000 tons of Purple Light Dew were delivered. Because some metals were more valuable and rare, the delivery routes were longer. By the sixth day, all metals had been delivered. During this process, Luo Feng also took the opportunity to sell the 9.28 billion tons of Dark Iron he had excavated on 'Mars' to those merchants, selling the bulk of it, '9 billion tons'. One ton of Dark Iron was priced at '0.0032 Black Dragon Coins', or four Silverblue Coins. Valued at tens of billions of Silverblue Coins, Luo Feng ultimately received just over 20 million Black Dragon Coins. If not for selling the 'Arc Blade Disk'. His gains from Mars back then would indeed have been considered a significant income. After all, ten Star Level One Warrior slaves only cost 10 million Black Dragon Coins. On Luo Feng's seventh day on Bailan Star. “From now on, you will be stationed here! If anything happens, you can contact me through the Virtual Universe network!” Luo Feng said. “Yes, Master!” One Star Level One and 100 Planetary Level Nine spiritual force users responded in unison. From then on, this group became the garrison guard for Luo Feng's 'Second Base'. Luo Feng turned and ordered: “Depart!” Leading his fifteen Star Level and 900 Planetary Level Nine subordinates, he quickly boarded the Heilong Spaceship! As for the large quantities of metals and the numerous assembled parts of the mobile castle, they were stored in Babata's storage space. The Heilong Spaceship left Bailan Star, performing a cosmic jump towards Earth. Eight hours later. “What's going on? The spaceship is circling?” Luo Feng asked in the control room. On the control room screen, Babata's avatar appeared: “We've arrived at the dark universe region corresponding to Earth. However, the coordinates were concealed by your teacher using a spatial secret technique. I need to circle for about 5 minutes, following the trajectory without any error, to discover the true cosmic coordinates.” Luo Feng nodded. Spatial secret technique? That was too distant for him! Even among the Yunmo Star lineage secret techniques he was currently learning, he hadn't encountered any spatial secret techniques, so it was clearly not something he could learn yet. Five minutes later. Within the vast starry sky of the Solar System, spatial ripples mysteriously undulated, and a black, saucer-shaped spaceship appeared out of thin air. Cosmic jump successful! “I'm back!” Luo Feng looked at the azure planet in the distant starry sky, a surge of excitement in his heart. How could one truly feel the sense of home in their heart without leaving Earth? This azure planet! It was his true root! “Earth, I'm back.” Luo Feng's expression was emotional. “Babata, let's go back to Earth.” Luo Feng called out. “Yes!” Babata shouted loudly. The black spaceship accelerated through the boundless starry sky, rapidly flying towards the azure planet! On Earth, in Huaxia Nation's Kyoto Base City, it was late at night. A middle-aged man, wearing the rank of a general, was leisurely sitting on his sofa at home, watching TV with his family, when suddenly his phone rang. “Hmm?” The general picked up his phone and was surprised. It was Luo Feng! He was currently the person specifically assigned by Huaxia Nation to liaise with Luo Feng. “Hello, Mr. Luo Feng.” The general answered the call and quickly walked to an adjacent room. “General Wang, I hope you can provide me with a plot of land over one kilometer in length and width within Yangzhou City.” Luo Feng's voice came through the phone. “No problem, I'll give you a reply within half an hour.” The general didn't hesitate at all. “Thank you. Also, three days from now, at 9 AM Huaxia time, I will summon high-ranking officials from all countries and Base Cities worldwide to Yangzhou for an important meeting concerning the evolution of all humanity on Earth,” Luo Feng added. The general was somewhat stunned. Luo Feng asking for land didn't bother him; a kilometer in length and width was nothing. It wasn't a big deal for the nation. A large company headquarters could be that big! Even in Huaxia Nation, a family like Luo Feng's father-in-law's Xu Clan occupied such a large area. But— A meeting? High-ranking officials from all countries and Base Cities attending? “What does Luo Feng mean by this? Why organize such a large high-level summit?” Although the general was puzzled, he didn't dare to inquire further. Currently, in the eyes of all nations worldwide, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen—the three who were often together like brothers—were the three peak powerhouses of Earth! “Understood, I will definitely inform the Chief.” The general said. “Mm.” Luo Feng hung up the phone. At this moment, Luo Feng had actually just entered Earth's atmosphere and, without even having time to go home, quickly made this call.
