Immense Wealth

In the reception room.

“Babata, what’s going on? I feel like something’s off,” Luo Feng muttered, mentally questioning Babata.

“Something off?” The little devil feigned ignorance.

“The operator’s expression just now was like those Western believers on Earth suddenly seeing God or an angel. Even when those people saw Cosmic Mercenaries before, they weren’t like that.” Luo Feng pressed, “Babata, tell me, what exactly is going on? Don’t trick me or play games!”

“I’ll tell you,” Babata teased. “The account you just gave is actually a Five-Star account.”

“A Five-Star account?” Luo Feng frowned.

He had heard it in the bank lobby earlier; even assets worth trillions of Black Dragon coins were just regular accounts, not even meeting the ‘One-Star account’ requirement! A Five-Star account, which was many times stronger than a One-Star account, what did that even mean?

“My teacher couldn’t have given me so much money for the first account, could he?” Luo Feng frowned. “As a Star-level, Universe-level, and Domain Lord, I can get three huge sums of money at these three stages! This first sum should be the smallest!”

“Of course!”

“This first sum is indeed the smallest! It’s just a drop in the ocean of your teacher’s wealth! As for this account… actually, your Universe-level account will also be ‘8492——8593——WOXH——8528——5285——032’, and your Domain Lord account will be the same! At the same time, it’s also the account your teacher used back then! It’s a Five-Star account,” Babata said.

“An account my teacher used?” Luo Feng was startled.

The Yunmo Star Master!

That was a super powerful being who commanded nine immortal servants, a strong existence even among immortals. In the Ganwu Universe Nation, that was an incredible figure. It was not surprising that such a person would use a ‘Five-Star account’.

“The three accounts your teacher arranged for you are actually all this same account,” Babata added.

“What do you mean?” Luo Feng didn’t understand.

“The same account, but with different passwords and access methods, will show you different amounts of money,” Babata explained.

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

Bank cards on Earth also had such a setting: enter one password, and the balance is 10,000 yuan. Enter another, and the balance is 10 million yuan. A third password might reveal 1 billion! If someone were kidnapped and forced to reveal their bank card password, and they gave one… the robbers would probably only be able to withdraw 10,000 yuan.

“This account is the master account.”

“The three inheritances your teacher left for you are all in this account.”

“However, there are three ways to access the inheritance from this account, and each method grants a different amount,” Babata explained.

“So that’s how it is,” Luo Feng realized.

Just then, the plump bank manager rushed in through the door, greeting him with extreme enthusiasm and deference: “Respected guest, please follow me.”

…

Taking the flowing light elevator, they arrived at the thirteenth floor of the bank building.

Beep!

“Respected guest.” A clear voice rang out from a metal robot: “Cosmic River Bank, welcomes you.”

Luo Feng, puzzled, exited the flowing light elevator. The manager bowed respectfully, then took the elevator down.

“Please follow me,” the metal robot said to Luo Feng.

“Huh? A robot is attending to me?” Luo Feng wondered.

He didn’t know… the Biyan Star branch’s status was too low; even the manager didn’t have the authority to attend to Luo Feng!

…

In the luxurious and comfortable reception room.

“8492——8593——WOXH——8528——5285——032.” After Luo Feng sat down, he straightforwardly stated in the universal cosmic language, “This is the account number, I want to withdraw money.”

“Please wait a moment.”

The metal robot smiled. After a brief moment, it said, “Please scan the touch panel on my arm with your spiritual force.” A strange black-gold touch panel suddenly extended from its metal arm.

“Spiritual force?” Luo Feng smiled.

Babata had said that one of the procedures for withdrawing money was that the spiritual force must be at least Star-level, and it had to be the kind of spiritual force unique to the Yunmo Star lineage to pass.

With a thought, Luo Feng’s spiritual force swept over the touch panel.

Beep!

“Data matches!”

The metal robot looked at Luo Feng and said, “Please enter the triple four-dimensional band password, respected guest. You can choose mental input, voice input, or manual input.”

The triple four-dimensional band password was extremely complex, constantly changing based on ‘time, spatial coordinates,’ and so on. The new password for the current moment was calculated from the original password, time, spatial coordinates, spiritual force level, etc.! Furthermore, the calculation method was set by the Yunmo Star Master himself.

And there were three layers to this password!

“What a long password.” Luo Feng connected his smart optical computer to the Cosmic River Bank system and then mentally input the password.

“Check balance.” Luo Feng gave the command, his heart filled with anxiety and nervousness.

Nervous! Anxious!

His teacher was a man whose wealth could rival a nation. However, his inheritance was divided into three parts, and as a Star-level, Luo Feng was receiving the smallest portion. How much was this smallest portion? Luo Feng wasn’t entirely sure himself… who knew what his teacher was thinking?

“I hope it’s enough to buy Earth, I hope it’s enough to buy Earth,” Luo Feng silently prayed.

Beep!

Data appeared on the screen of Luo Feng’s arm guard, the long string of ‘0’s making his eyes blur.

“100 0000 0000”

“Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands… oh, billions, 10 billion?” Luo Feng stared at the final currency symbol, “Ganwu coins?”

“10 billion Ganwu coins!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up completely, his face beaming with joy.

That’s generous!

My teacher is truly good to me! 10 billion Ganwu coins, even at the official exchange rate, is 10 trillion Black Dragon coins! If exchanged through the black market or other means, it could easily become over a dozen trillion Black Dragon coins. Even a Universe-level expert would probably have to sell a few planets to accumulate such assets.

“Your teacher originally thought that 10 billion Ganwu coins would be enough for you when you were just starting out in the universe as a Star-level! After all, even direct descendants of major families would be doing well to get 100 million Ganwu coins,” Babata said.

Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

Even Gaosheng Weidi only received one life planet after ten years, and he didn’t even dare to sell it.

“Babata, how much will I get as a Universe-level and a Domain Lord, respectively?” Luo Feng pressed, knowing that Babata was his teacher’s AI, and his teacher had set up these three accounts in the virtual universe network, so Babata must know clearly.

“Can’t say, can’t say.”

Babata stubbornly refused to speak.

“Fine, don’t tell me then!”

“10 billion, and Ganwu coins at that!” Luo Feng looked at the balance, finally feeling a sense of immense wealth. This wasn’t Black Dragon coins, but incredibly valuable Ganwu coins! Among Star-levels, even including the disciples of major families and descendants of powerful forces, Luo Feng could be considered a top-tier super-rich individual.

One must know that the richest person on an ordinary planet only has about 100 million Black Dragon coins!

Luo Feng alone was worth tens of thousands of such richest people!

“Transfer!” Luo Feng said to the metal robot, “Transfer it to the account bound to my spiritual imprint.”

His teacher’s account was bound to his teacher’s spiritual imprint; although other access methods were set up, opening it was too troublesome.

Binding with a spiritual imprint was the safest and most convenient.

…

Outside the main entrance of the Cosmic River Bank.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen walked out.

“Luo Feng, is the money enough?” Lei Shen asked.

“Enough?” Hong was also anxious.

Applying to buy Earth would require an astronomical sum of money.

“A piece of cake!” Luo Feng smiled, “Let’s go, to the Imperial Registry to buy Earth.”

…

Milky Way Galaxy, Earth.

The ordinary people of Earth continued their lives as usual, completely unaware that a fleet from the cosmos had arrived at Earth! Meanwhile, Earth’s warriors, scientists, and many other elite families were all staying in the survival bases, also unaware of the impending crisis… only the highest echelons knew!

Above the Pacific Ocean.

Two colossal warships hovered side by side.

On one of the warships.

The eight direct disciples of the Nuolanshan family stood in a row, all watching the giant screen in the control room. These eight Star-level Ninth-tier youths all had serious expressions, not a hint of a smile.

“Scan complete!”

“Earth’s population is nearly seven billion, with 180 million people residing in six survival bases. Over 99% of this planet’s Apprentice-level and Planet-level warriors are in the survival bases. Those outside have barely even reached Apprentice First-tier,” the warship’s AI quickly reported the statistics.

As a starship, its scanning range was enormous.

Earth’s radius is only about 6400 kilometers, so a complete scan was easy.

“Survival bases! It’s survival bases!” Among the eight direct disciples, a dark-skinned youth angrily exclaimed, “Who said this was a backward planet without an owner? They even have survival bases! I refuse to believe a small planet could have factories to manufacture all the components for survival bases! Absolutely impossible!”

“Right.”

A direct descendant of the Nuolanshan family nodded slightly, “I agree, this planet definitely has connections with the universe!”

“But what should we do now?”

“Bu Luo must have been killed by the natives on this planet.”

“Forget natives, this planet definitely can’t be called a native planet. This planet was able to establish six survival bases, all of them C-grade. Just these six bases… on an ordinary planet in the universe, they simply couldn’t be built!”

A clamor of voices.

They had originally thought Earth would be easy to deal with, but now, seeing it, all of the planet’s high-ranking individuals were holed up in survival bases! Outside were ordinary people who hadn’t even reached Apprentice First-tier. They had gone to such lengths… clearly, the other side was well-prepared. It seemed the information gathered from the network earlier couldn’t be fully trusted.

The eight direct disciples were naturally very displeased.

“Silence,” a deep voice rang out.

The other seven looked over; it was Pula speaking! The one with the highest status among them!

“Earth’s high-ranking individuals are all hiding in survival bases, and we can’t do anything about these survival bases.” Pula’s eyes were cold and dark as he swept his gaze over the other seven. “Now… on one hand, we’ll quickly collect various ores and other materials on Earth as planned, take samples, and gather data! As for the rest… I’ll go see our teacher!”

…

Pula had been the most dazzling member of the Nuolanshan family since childhood. A Star-level Ninth-tier with his own domain, he was the family’s most hopeful internal descendant to reach ‘Universe-level.’ He was indeed a genius! Of course, he couldn’t compare to monstrous talents like Hong and Lei Shen, who possessed domains at the Planet-level.

Genius comes with privileges.

Pula could easily meet the patriarch and the elder patriarch. He was much stronger than the tragic ‘Bu Luo’ before him.

…

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island under the Ganwu Continent.

Beep!

Two figures appeared on the screen, with pointed ears and slightly reddish eyes. One was more robust, the other seemed approachable.

“Teacher, Elder Patriarch.” Pula bowed respectfully, surprised in his heart… both patriarchs were actually present. “I have an important matter to report.”

“Speak,” the robust current patriarch, Yu Ke Nuolanshan, said.

“This planet was prepared for our arrival!”

“All the high-ranking individuals and elites on their planet have hidden in survival bases, and these survival bases are C-grade, which we cannot breach.” Pula said in a low voice, “I can infer… that valuable data and other information on this planet have certainly been collected or erased, and we can’t detect any of it.”

“Furthermore, manufacturing survival bases is extremely complex; a single planet absolutely cannot do it. The survival bases must have been purchased from the universe.”

On the screen, the expressions of both the current patriarch and the elder patriarch changed.

Anyone not foolish would guess that Earth had already established contact with the universe.

“I checked, this planet is still ownerless,” the elder patriarch said.

“Teacher, Elder Patriarch, what should our fleet on Earth do next?” Pula respectfully asked.

The two patriarchs exchanged whispers.

Pula dared not interrupt.

“Pula!” Yu Ke Nuolanshan’s gaze was sharp. “Collect samples, gather data, and record the interstellar coordinates as quickly as possible! Then, send all of this with utmost speed to Biyan Star, the ‘Black Dragon Mountain Empire Registry’s garrisoned planet’ closest to Earth! Since Earth is ownerless, we must acquire it under our name as quickly as possible.”

“Second!”

Yu Ke Nuolanshan’s voice was firm and powerful. “Begin searching that planet for any treasures left behind by that immortal being from back then!”

“Third, remember, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within! Since we can’t forcefully break into the survival bases, then either through ‘mental hypnosis’ or by manipulating human hearts, and so on… in short, controlling the human race on this planet will be beneficial for us to unearth the planet’s treasures.”

“Fourth, I recall you mentioning that this planet has a large number of monsters? Tame the monsters, communicate with them; they are also native lifeforms of Earth, and perhaps they know some places on Earth.”

“Understood!” Pula quickly replied.

“Go, implement it immediately,” Yu Ke ordered.

“Yes!” Pula acknowledged the order.

…

While Pula began his four-pronged approach, issuing orders and commanding thousands of Star-levels and tens of thousands of Planet-levels, Luo Feng was at the Imperial Registry on Biyan Star.

Imperial Registry.

“These are the coordinates of this planet.”

“This is our ‘interstellar coordinate flight record’ of our arrival at this planet.”

“All the samples, data, and so on regarding this planet have been placed here.” Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen sat in chairs. Hong and Lei Shen couldn’t speak the universal cosmic language, so they relied on their auxiliary optical computers and smart optical computers for conscious translation. Luo Feng, meanwhile, was doing the talking.

The Registry staff were processing the information.

One of the reception staff said, “If the interstellar coordinate records and other details are confirmed to be correct, you will receive a reward of 100 billion Black Dragon coins…”

“No, I don’t want the reward.”

Luo Feng looked at the reception staff and said, “Discovering an ownerless planet grants priority purchase rights! I want to buy it!”

The group of Registry staff who had been discussing amongst themselves suddenly fell silent, turning to look at Luo Feng.

“Buy a life planet?” The reception staff couldn’t help but ask again.

This wasn’t like buying weapons or treasures; a life planet was extremely expensive.

“Yes, I want to buy it,” Luo Feng said.
