Repairing the Yunmo Star Ship?

“We have a saying on Earth, 'Flowers in a greenhouse may seem beautiful, but they cannot withstand wind and rain,'” Luo Feng murmured. “They are delicate and weak.”

“That’s right,” Babata said with emotion. “Refined a hundred times to become steel. It’s the same principle as how ordinary people on Earth need vaccines to resist certain infectious diseases. But Luo Feng, just like with vaccines, don’t push yourself too hard at first. Start with lower difficulty tasks and gradually increase the challenge.”

“No rush. For now, I don’t want to take on any training missions,” Luo Feng said. “I still need to thoroughly comprehend, summarize, and absorb the insights from Chaos City. And my body needs to soak in the nutrient cabin.”

“Mm.” Babata also nodded with a smile.

When it first chose Luo Feng to be the Yunmo Star successor, it never imagined Luo Feng would reach this point. Before, it worried that the Yunmo Star successor’s identity would be exposed, attracting the covetous gaze of Realm Lords and others. But now, with Luo Feng’s current status, even ordinary Immortals wouldn’t dare act recklessly, and even the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield would have to treat him with courtesy.

Once Luo Feng enters the ‘Primal Secret Region,’ even the leaders of his guard squad will be Immortals!

By then, even the God Lord of the sacred Black Dragon Mountain in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would have to treat Luo Feng with immense respect.

“Backend Management.” Luo Feng gently clicked, closing the backend management file.

Life, study, cultivation—the Virtual Universe Company truly provided the best conditions.

Will one fall midway? Be trapped at the peak of the Realm Lord stage until their lifespan ends? Or become an Immortal? It all depends on individual effort.

“I currently have 30,360 points.” Luo Feng opened the treasure vault folder, looking at the numerous categories: ‘Materials,’ ‘Rare Treasures,’ ‘Secret Techniques,’ ‘Weapons’… A thought suddenly struck him.

Right. This treasure vault truly has everything. My most expensive F-grade spaceship, the ‘Yunmo Star Ship,’ is completely unusable and extremely difficult to repair. At least the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield doesn’t have the resources. The Ganwu Universe Nation might be able to piece together a repair for the Yunmo Star Ship, but this ‘treasure vault’ definitely has what I need.

“Babata, check if the items in this treasure vault can be gathered to repair the Yunmo Star Ship,” Luo Feng quickly said.

“Yes!” Babata, true to its AI nature, instantly gathered the information.

“Oh?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but be delighted.

The Yunmo Star Ship is a vessel that even Immortals would find difficult to breach. When Immortals fought, they only left fist imprints inside the ship. And the reason my teacher, the Yunmo Star Master ‘Huyan Bo,’ died back then was because his opponent used a soul attack. With this spaceship, things would truly be formidable.

Soul attacks? My other two bodies can hide in my inner world, leaving only my Demon Killer Clan clone. The Demon Killer Clan has no soul, so they aren’t afraid of soul attacks at all!

“Crucial materials can be exchanged through the ‘treasure vault’,” Babata said. “Furthermore, you can use the ‘Life’ section in the backend management to request the Virtual Universe Company’s technical personnel for repairs. You provide the necessary materials, and those technicians will perform the repairs for free.”

“How many points?” Luo Feng pressed.

“Approximately 560,000 points,” Babata said.

“560,000?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.

“It’s not that much,” Babata said. “If you were to buy it with money externally, it would cost about 80,000 mixed-element units.”

Luo Feng was stunned. The purchasing power of points was truly exaggerated.

“Babata, how much would it cost to build a Yunmo Star Ship from scratch?” Luo Feng asked.

“Approximately 3.6 million mixed-element units!” Babata said.

“Damn!” Luo Feng couldn’t help but curse under his breath. “Even selling the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield wouldn’t fetch that price, would it?”

“Selling star systems individually isn’t expensive. But selling the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield… the price would be much higher, estimated between 300,000 and 1 million mixed-element units, depending on market conditions, with auction prices varying.” Babata said.

The entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, if sold, would be far less valuable than a single Yunmo Star Ship!

“That’s perfectly normal,” Babata scoffed. “The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is the private property of that Immortal from the sacred Black Dragon Mountain! And that Immortal… is even weaker than your teacher! Your teacher paid an extremely high price to build the Yunmo Star Ship. It’s completely normal for the Yunmo Star Ship to be more expensive than an entire starfield. Moreover, the Yunmo Star Ship is incredibly sturdy and can withstand physical attacks. And since your teacher specialized in soul attacks, relying on this spaceship made him very safe!”

“Yet he still died in the end,” Luo Feng shook his head.

“His opponent was an Immortal at the ‘Sealing King’ level, and also specialized in soul attacks,” Babata quickly explained. “If he had specialized in martial arts, he wouldn’t have been able to kill your teacher.”

“The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is merely a territory. But a Yunmo Star Ship is a life-saving vessel. Which is more important? It’s obvious at a glance!” Babata said.

Whether it was 560,000 points or 80,000 mixed-element units, both were figures Luo Feng could only look up to. At least his current points were far from enough.

Deep in the cosmos, at the core of the Primal Secret Region. Among the numerous star fragments orbiting a colossal ice star, a spaceship landed on the landmass of star fragment number 80389081.

“Your Highness Luo Feng, only one-third of the precious nutrient solution stored in this nutrient cabin is needed for a Universe-level First-tier to advance to Ninth-tier,” the green-haired man in white robes respectfully said. “Just to be safe, we prepared a bit extra.”

“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction.

This nutrient cabin was very similar to the one he had purchased before, but the nutrient solution was definitely of a higher grade. Moreover, it was simply unobtainable outside; even if it were available, Luo Feng couldn’t afford it.

Whoosh! The nutrient cabin’s lid automatically opened. Inside, a pale purple liquid filled about one-fifth of the cabin’s volume. An invisible chill made Luo Feng frown slightly. He reached out to touch the nutrient solution, and with a slight contact, *hiss!* A wave of icy coldness startled Luo Feng. It had to be at least eighty or ninety degrees below zero.

At the same time, the cells in the finger that touched the nutrient solution seemed to feel a sense of joyous excitement.

‘Such an icy nutrient solution? But the effect seems astonishing,’ Luo Feng mused. He then stripped completely and stepped directly into the cabin, lying down. The cold, pale purple nutrient solution enveloped his entire body. The peculiar substance began to permeate his skin and seep into his muscles, bones, membranes, and internal organs…

His entire body, from inside out, was undergoing astonishing changes at an incredible speed. For ordinary individuals, advancing from Universe-level First-tier to Ninth-tier would take hundreds or thousands of years. Yet, with the immense cost borne by the Virtual Universe Company, all of this could be accomplished within mere months.

As for the nutrient solution being icy cold? For Universe-level powerhouses, such a temperature had no effect whatsoever.

Whoosh! The cabin lid closed once more.

Virtual Universe, Taichu District Manor No. 1136.

‘It truly is different. Not only does it nourish my entire body, but even my mental power is continuously strengthening—it’s incredible,’ Luo Feng said with emotion, sitting at his desk and opening his laptop screen. ‘To allow one’s body and soul to ascend from First-tier to Ninth-tier… Tsk, tsk, truly remarkable.’

On the screen, Luo Feng glanced at the courses.

‘I won’t listen to other courses. I’ll focus more on the aspects of Space Origin and Gold Origin.’ Luo Feng had no desire to delve into other areas. A person’s energy was limited, and his two clones happened to excel in these two aspects, so there was no need to waste time studying what he wasn’t good at.

‘There’s a class tomorrow night? On Gold Origin? It’s being taught by a Sealing King-level Immortal. Hmm, I should go listen.’

Luo Feng then leaped directly from the balcony next to his study, his figure flickering in mid-air, and arrived at his exclusive training ground not far away, where he began to cultivate.

He would need to soak in the nutrient cabin for over three months. During this time, Luo Feng either spent his time in the training ground, thoroughly comprehending and internalizing the insights he gained from ‘Chaos City Enlightenment,’ or attending classes. However, to be honest, although other Taichu District members valued certain courses, Luo Feng discovered something after listening to them—

The effect of the lectures was not as good as what his teacher, ‘Zhenyan King,’ taught.

There was no helping it. Public lectures were given to all Taichu District members.

However, Zhenyan King’s guidance to Luo Feng was one-on-one, specifically tailored to Luo Feng’s situation… Moreover, Zhenyan King was an existence close to a ‘Universe Nation Lord,’ so the effect was naturally better than general courses.

‘My progress speed is clearly much slower than it was in Chaos City,’ Luo Feng said, sitting in a chair in his manor, holding a glass of mixed fruit wine, his brows furrowed. ‘And the lectures I attend are clearly not as good as what my teacher taught me. What should I do?’

It wasn’t just Luo Feng. Everyone else had discovered this problem. Their cultivation speed was now far inferior to what it was in Chaos City. The visible operation of the universe laws in Chaos City… provided a reference that indeed accelerated progress.

“Luo Feng, your teacher is calling,” Babata on his shoulder called out.

“Teacher?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. He immediately stood up, humble and polite. “Connect.”

A screen materialized before him. On it appeared Zhenyan King, exuding a fierce aura, his golden fur adding to his domineering presence. Zhenyan King on the screen laughed heartily, “My good disciple, how have you been feeling since leaving Chaos City?”

“My comprehension speed has slowed,” Luo Feng shook his head.

“Haha…” Zhenyan King laughed even more heartily. “That’s normal. Chaos City has three treasures, and the comprehension speed there is ten times that of the outside world! Everyone who leaves Chaos City encounters this problem. However, your teacher does have a solution.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng’s eyes brightened. “Teacher, please tell me!”

“If you could frequently comprehend the 'Nine Universe Chaos Stele,' your progress speed would likely be even faster than in Chaos City, wouldn’t it?” Zhenyan King said.

“Of course,” Luo Feng quickly replied, then shook his head helplessly. “Unfortunately, opportunities to comprehend the 'Nine Universe Chaos Stele' are rare, and each time it’s only for seven days. But even so… the gains from each comprehension are immense. If I could frequently comprehend it, my progress would be astonishing even outside Chaos City.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up: “Does Teacher have a way for me to comprehend the Chaos Stele?”

“No, the 52 Chaos Steles are only found in Chaos City,” Zhenyan King said.

“Then what does Teacher mean…” Luo Feng wondered.

“In the ‘Secret Techniques’ category of the Virtual Universe Company’s ‘treasure vault,’ there’s a book called 'Essays on Space-Time,'” Zhenyan King said. “This book was written by the creator of the 'Nine Universe Chaos Stele.'”

“You mean 'Essays on Space-Time,' one of those hundreds of sky-high-priced books?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened. He had browsed the treasure vault before and seen some terrifyingly expensive secret techniques at the very end of the ‘Secret Techniques’ category.

A single set of 'Essays on Space-Time' required a staggering 100 billion points!

It was a price that left Luo Feng dumbfounded, a figure he could only look up to. He hadn’t even bothered to look at those terrifyingly expensive books before—100 billion points!

“Haha, don’t get so excited. Even your teacher here can’t afford that set of 'Essays on Space-Time,'” Zhenyan King chuckled.
