Handling Treasures

The excavation of the 'World within a World' treasure on Canglan Star had thrown the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield into turmoil. “Did you hear? Recently, a Stellar-level fool on Lokna Planet tried to sell a priceless treasure. A Cosmic-level expert snatched it, but then… that Cosmic-level expert not only lost his life because of the treasure, but his entire family was razed to the ground!” “A Cosmic-level expert lost his life? His family razed to the ground? What kind of treasure was it?” “Apparently, a 'World within a World' was discovered on Canglan Star a while ago, and this priceless treasure was one of the items that emerged from it. The treasures from the World within a World… they’ve sparked a scramble among the four major organizations and two sacred lands. Any single item from there is worth tens of thousands of life planets!” “Tens of thousands of life planets? My heavens, how valuable is that?” “Anyway, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, with its countless large and small families and organizations, is now closely monitoring… as soon as anyone tries to sell a priceless treasure, they’ll snatch it.” “Such priceless treasures are truly hot potatoes.” “Hot potatoes, yet countless people still desire them!” … Madness. The various families and organizations, big and small, across the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield were in a frenzy. One must know that the top power in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield—the 'Sixteen Great Families'—was founded by only sixteen Realm Lords. This indicates that… in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Realm Lord-level powers are already at the pinnacle, and for other smaller organizations, having a Domain Lord-level expert is considered quite good. And any single treasure from the World within a World holds astonishing allure for Domain Lords. So… It’s no surprise that the occasional one or two treasures that surface cause numerous powers to covet them. “Those Stellar-level individuals don’t have good channels. Once they try to sell a treasure, they’re easily discovered. Keep a close watch on them, monitor all the main planets in my Black Dragon Mountain Starfield! As soon as anyone tries to sell a priceless treasure, report it immediately.” “Yes, President.” … Treasures are hot potatoes. For those without the power or channels to sell them, acquiring these treasures can be a disaster! And these treasures are so precious that even Cosmic-level experts who obtain them might be implicated and lose their lives. … In the Dark Universe, Luo Feng’s Team’s spaceship was still en route. It was already the 12th day of their journey, with approximately 9 days left until they reached Earth. They were unaware of the news circulating in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield about Stellar-level adventurers selling 'priceless treasures.' Inside the spaceship’s rest cabin. The rest cabin was laid out like a study, with a desk and chairs, and a very comfortable bed at the far end. “It’s time to deal with these treasures; they’re truly too hot to handle,” Luo Feng said, sitting in a chair and typing on the laptop on his desk. This laptop was still Earth-made; he simply preferred using these somewhat outdated Earth-made devices. “The treasures I exchanged for, plus those plundered by Moyun Teng, total 48 items.” 48 treasures! Some were cheaper than the Sky-Slicing Blade, and some were more expensive. A single Sky-Slicing Blade was enough to excite the Domain Lord Mingyu… even prompting a Realm Lord to buy it directly. These 48 treasures combined were probably equivalent to a Realm Lord’s total assets. As for the deceased Kabu Realm Lord, his wealth was comparable to a 'poor Immortal.' And out of the total 312 treasures, Luo Feng obtained 49 (one given to Mingyu), showing the immense scale of his harvest this time! “Connecting to the Virtual Universe Network.” Luo Feng closed his eyes, his consciousness quickly linking to the Virtual Universe Network. … Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay. When Luo Feng appeared in front of his house, Luo Hua, who was taking a leisurely stroll, brightened and called out, “Brother!” “Luo Hua, something wrong?” Luo Feng smiled at his younger brother. “I’ve been meaning to find you, but I just couldn’t catch you.” Luo Hua pulled Luo Feng along. “Brother, sit down here, I have something very important to tell you.” “Oh?” Luo Feng sat down, then looked at his brother with confusion. “It’s like this,” Luo Hua explained. “The governments of Earth’s five major nations have been discussing and are very keen on truly entering the universe and making contact with other humans out there.” “Can’t they just enter the Virtual Universe?” Luo Feng frowned. “They can interact with other humans in the universe there.” “No… they want real-world contact,” Luo Hua said. “In the real world?” Luo Feng’s frown deepened. Seeing his expression, Luo Hua helplessly said, “Brother, don’t you understand the countries on Earth? At first, they were satisfied with being able to enter the ‘Virtual Universe,’ but over time, their ambitions grew. This ambition is uncontrollable. If you let them truly enter the universe now, they’ll probably demand even more later!” Human ambition knows no bounds. Once they have something good, they want something better. “Alright, agree to their request,” Luo Feng said solemnly. “You’ll agree to them?” Luo Hua’s eyes widened in surprise. “Yes,” Luo Feng nodded slightly. “Although Earth is very safe, we can’t let Earthlings be confined to Earth forever. It’s time for them to experience the universe… only by suffering some losses and experiencing some setbacks will they truly understand how Earthlings can survive in the universe in the future.” Luo Hua asked, “But Brother, which planet will Earthlings go to? For large-scale interstellar migration, will the planet administration agree?” “If those official planets don’t agree, I’ll just buy planets!” Luo Feng chuckled. “What’s more, I currently own a hundred life planets. With my approval as their Lord, interstellar migration will naturally be very easy.” “A hundred planets?” Luo Hua’s eyes widened. “Brother, you—” “I’ll tell you later,” Luo Feng said with a smile, standing up. “Regarding Earthlings wanting partial migration to the universe… I’ll discuss it thoroughly with Earth’s five major nations later. Well, that’s all for today; I have something else to do.” “Oh,” Luo Hua also stood up. “Beep!” “Mail?” Luo Hua opened the email in confusion. It was a bank notification, informing him that his account balance had increased by 4 billion Cosmic Coins. “4 billion Cosmic Coins?” Luo Hua was stunned. “These are for you. Keep up the good work,” Luo Feng’s voice came from a distance. Luo Hua quickly looked up. Luo Feng was already almost out of the Nine Star Bay Community. Looking at his brother’s retreating figure, Luo Hua’s heart trembled: “What has my brother been doing these past few days? How did he manage to get me 4 billion Cosmic Coins in the blink of an eye? These are even more valuable than Ganwu Coins!” … At the entrance of the Nine Star Bay Community, Luo Feng waved his hand towards the sky. Immediately, a Pegasus-drawn carriage descended from the sky. There was a coachman on the carriage, and Luo Feng directly jumped into the back seat. “Sir, where to?” the coachman asked. “To the Cosmic River Bank,” Luo Feng replied. The Pegasus flapped its wings, and the carriage swiftly soared into the sky, flying at an astonishing speed, yet only a gentle breeze stirred within the carriage. In the Virtual Universe, long distances are generally covered by 'fixed teleportation points,' while short distances use these Pegasus-drawn carriages. This is because everyone’s physical fitness in the Virtual Universe is only comparable to Apprentice Fourth-tier, so they cannot fly, and their movement speed isn’t fast enough. A Pegasus is much quicker. Of course… Riding a Pegasus costs money! “Truly beautiful.” Sitting in the Pegasus carriage, looking down at the massive Black Dragon Mountain Island below, it was indeed spectacular. “What’s that?” Luo Feng pointed to the sky in surprise. In the clouds above, a floating city was faintly visible. Because this floating city was so high, it would be invisible to the naked eye from the ground. Only when the carriage flew higher could one see the indistinct city deep within the clouds. “Floating City,” the coachman said with a chuckle. “It’s our Black Dragon Mountain Island’s Floating City. Every island and every continent has a Floating City.” “Floating City?” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. “Generally, only important figures, or at least Cosmic-level experts, are qualified to enter the Floating City,” the coachman explained with a smile, controlling the Pegasus. “Sir, we’ve arrived at the Cosmic River Bank.” Whoosh! The Pegasus swooped down, its wings gently flapping, its four hooves treading on empty air, quickly landing in front of the Cosmic River Bank. “Thanks,” Luo Feng said with a smile as he got out of the carriage. The carriage then shot up into the sky and quickly departed. The fare for the carriage was directly deducted from his personal account. Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Cosmic River Bank. “Welcome.” Luo Feng entered the bank, proceeding directly through the 'self-service channel' into the interior, and then into a 'self-service transaction' room. He entered the sealed room. “Please enter your account number,” an electronic voice announced. “8492——8593——WOXH——8528——5285——032.” Luo Feng quickly entered it. This was his teacher’s Five-Star Tier account. Immediately, the room’s signal scanned Luo Feng, as he had left some basic information when he withdrew money on Biyan Star last time. “Password entered, correct.” “User confirmed.” Boom! The ordinary room instantly transformed into an incredibly luxurious one, and a beautiful female intelligent assistant stood by, respectfully saying, “Greetings, esteemed Five-Star Tier client. I am intelligent assistant 008231, at your service.” “Hello,” Luo Feng smiled at the female intelligent assistant, secretly delighted. Everything was indeed as Babata had said… Because he had successfully accessed that Five-Star Tier account, he had been recognized by the Cosmic River Bank as a 'Five-Star Tier client.' One should know… the 20 billion Cosmic Coins Luo Feng obtained through Mingyu were comparable to the entire assets of many Domain Lord-level experts. Yet, that only qualified him as a 'Two-Star Tier client.' How honorable was a Five-Star Tier client? The Cosmic River Bank offered many very thoughtful services for Five-Star Tier clients. Of course… Services cost money! “I need to dispose of some items,” Luo Feng said, looking at the intelligent assistant before him. The female intelligent assistant bowed and smiled, “Esteemed Five-Star Tier client, our Cosmic River Bank offers an ‘item consignment service.’ Our bank has very powerful sales channels across all ‘Cosmic Nations’ in the vast universe, allowing your goods to be sold in an extremely short time. We only charge a one-thousandth handling fee.” Luo Feng smiled. This was the treatment of a Five-Star Tier client; selling incredibly hot treasures was that simple.
