Rune Solidification

Luo Feng immediately contacted personnel within the Virtual Universe Company, outlining his requirements.

“His Highness Luo Feng, please send us the detailed parameters, photos, and other information regarding the cosmic spaceship you wish to repair, as well as the performance level you aim to achieve after its modification. The more comprehensive the information, the better. We can then assess the damage and modification needs to determine the exact cost,” a gentle and clear voice conveyed from the screen.

“Understood.”

Luo Feng nodded, promptly sending over the data Babata had already prepared.

Just a moment later—

“His Highness Luo Feng, the Virtual Universe Company’s technology for manufacturing F-grade cosmic spaceships capable of 50 times the speed of light is extremely mature. I advise Your Highness to also choose a performance configuration with a limit of 50 times the speed of light. If you raise the requirements further, the modification cost will increase exponentially. The normal performance configuration offers the best value for money,” the voice from the screen continued.

“What about its maneuverability?” Luo Feng pressed.

“That also falls within the normal specifications,” the clear voice replied politely. “Your Highness, the repair will cost 56,000 Mixed Yuan Units, and the internal performance modification will cost 124,000 Mixed Yuan Units, totaling 180,000 Mixed Yuan Units.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Babata had once calculated that if he were to purchase materials externally for the Virtual Universe Company to perform the repairs, the materials alone would cost around 80,000 Mixed Yuan Units. Fortunately, as a member of the Primal Secret Region, he received a discount.

“Your Highness, our design team inquired… this F-grade cosmic spaceship is constructed from Red Mixed Copper Mother. Its edges are very thin and sharp, and it contains fixed runes, giving it powerful cutting capabilities. However, the Law Rune Solidification aspect is rather rudimentary and incomplete. May we ask if you wish for it to be perfected?” the clear voice asked.

Luo Feng was startled.

The Yunmo Star Ship was a triangular vessel with incredibly sharp edges, but what was this Law Rune Solidification about?

“Agree to it,” Babata urged from his shoulder.

“What are the options for perfecting it, and what are the costs?” Luo Feng asked.

“First, a simple repair of the damaged solidified runes, which is free of charge,” the clear voice continued. “Second, a comprehensive perfection, which will increase the spaceship’s defense by 30% and its hull cutting attack power by 50%. This option costs 139,000 Mixed Yuan Units.”

“I agree to the comprehensive perfection,” Luo Feng nodded.

…

The Moyun Teng cost 85,000 Mixed Yuan Units, and the Yunmo Star Ship cost 319,000 Mixed Yuan Units, for a total of 404,000 Mixed Yuan Units.

“Over 400,000 Mixed Yuan Units spent so quickly,” Luo Feng muttered, sitting at his desk and looking at the screen. “Money truly flows like water. By the way, Babata, what exactly is this Law Rune Solidification, and why does it cost 139,000 Mixed Yuan Units?”

“Don’t be dissatisfied,” Babata grumbled from his shoulder. “This Law Rune Solidification… it’s essentially the law runes found on many Psychic Weapons and Origin Force Weapons. By activating these law runes, one can tap into the power of the universe’s fundamental laws, thereby enhancing defense and attack. Master spent a great deal of effort back then to construct the Yunmo Star Ship, even inviting powerful experts to perform the Law Rune Solidification.”

“Unfortunately!”

“The experts Master invited, of course, couldn’t compare to the masters within the Virtual Universe Company,” Babata sighed. “To be able to increase defense by 30% and cutting attack by 50% on the existing foundation, tsk tsk… the Law Rune Solidification masters in the Virtual Universe Company are truly formidable. This involves solidifying law runes across the entire massive spaceship hull, and the material costs alone are exorbitant. 139,000 Mixed Yuan Units… tsk tsk, if your teacher were to invite such an expert, the price would at least double! Having the Virtual Universe Company’s support truly makes things incredibly convenient.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Convenient it was, but the spending remained formidable.

…

Qiongyu Star, Xiangshui City, Yanshan Manor.

In the underground warehouse.

Luo Feng had spent a colossal 12 billion Cosmic Coins to purchase this manor, which gives an idea of its immense size. The entire manor was about 30 kilometers in length and width, and the underground warehouse of the main building alone spanned three kilometers in length and width. This was specifically designed for prominent families and powerful organizations to store their cosmic spaceships.

“Entirely Red Mixed Copper Mother!” Three white-robed figures stood in the warehouse, gazing at the triangular cosmic spaceship before them. The ship’s three corners curved, incredibly thin and sharp!

“When this ship accelerates, even a planet would be easily sliced through,” the leading white-robed elder said with a smile, respectfully addressing Luo Feng. “His Highness Luo Feng, we will take this spaceship now.”

“When can it be repaired and returned?” Luo Feng asked.

These three individuals were sent by the Virtual Universe Company. As Qiongyu Star was an extremely important planet within the Ganwu Universe Nation, many important members of the Virtual Universe Company resided there. Thus, Luo Feng had only just finalized the contract online, and the company had already dispatched personnel to collect the cosmic spaceship on the same day.

“Your Highness, our Virtual Universe Company has numerous repair and modification centers across the entire human territory of the universe. So, it will be quite fast. The round trip will take no more than three months at most,” the white-robed elder stated.

“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded. “You may take it.”

“Yes.”

The white-robed elder looked at the Yunmo Star Ship, and with a thought, he directly absorbed the Yunmo Star Ship into his internal world.

The handover process was directly synchronized and transmitted into the Virtual Universe Network. As long as the handover occurred, Luo Feng didn’t need to worry about the Yunmo Star Ship’s safety. Even if the escort personnel were incredibly greedy and audacious enough to try to embezzle the Yunmo Star Ship and flee into the universe, the Virtual Universe Company would directly compensate Luo Feng with a spaceship identical in appearance and even superior in performance!

…

Watching the three white-robed members depart in their cosmic spaceship, Luo Feng turned to Dylan beside him: “Dylan, let’s go. I need to see my Big Brother.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Dylan nodded.

Dylan was the leader of Luo Feng’s guard force, tasked with protecting Luo Feng closely during his external assignments. Of course, as an Undying God, the majority of Dylan’s consciousness was in the Virtual Universe Network meditating and comprehending, with only a portion of his consciousness in reality to maintain optimal vigilance. Should a crisis arise, the other parts of Dylan’s consciousness would instantly return to reality.

“Big Brother!” Luo Feng’s eyes held a hint of anticipation as he stepped out of Yanshan Manor.

It had been a long time since he had seen his Big Brother Hong in reality.

…

On Qiongyu Star, in Baodian City, one of its 108 major cities, within a private room on the third floor of the renowned ‘Morning Star Restaurant’. This was where Luo Feng and Hong had agreed to meet.

“Third Brother, there’s a story behind Baodian City. You should know that Qiongyu Star is an artificially created planet! Back when this Qiongyu Star was first brought out of a God Kingdom and placed in this starfield… the Ganwu Universe Nation began large-scale immigration, and many prominent families immediately established themselves here,” Hong said, smiling as he sat at the table. “With so many families and powerful individuals, disputes naturally arose… Later, a war between Undying Gods erupted over a legacy treasure manual left by a powerful Undying God. Fortunately, it was an artificially created planet, built with extravagant materials, so it could withstand the battles of those Undying Gods. Even so, that war still turned an area spanning tens of thousands of kilometers into ruins. Later, this city was built in those ruins and named Baodian City! It also serves as a warning…”

Luo Feng nodded.

Dylan, sitting beside Luo Feng, smiled and said, “After the initial chaos, Qiongyu Star became much more peaceful under strong regulation.”

“Having been in Baodian City on Qiongyu Star for so long, I’ve truly grown to love this city,” Hong said, shaking his head with emotion.

“Haha, because it has the woman you love, Big Brother,” Luo Feng chuckled.

“Ha…” Hong gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“Big Brother, where are you living now?” Luo Feng asked.

“I’m currently with my teacher. My teacher is staying at an old friend’s house to exchange insights, so I’m living there too,” Hong said, taking a sip from his wine glass. “My teacher’s friend is named Busheka, a relatively powerful Undying God.”

Luo Feng quickly asked, “Do your teacher and that Undying God, Busheka, know about you and Ji Qing?”

“How could they not know about it?” Hong shook his head. “When the Ji Clan discovered my relationship with Ji Qing, they sent people directly to Senior Busheka’s family estate. If it weren’t for Senior Busheka’s reputation, the Ji Clan might have directly killed me.”

Luo Feng’s expression changed.

He could imagine the scene.

His Big Brother and Ji Qing met and fell in love, with his Big Brother completely unaware of Ji Qing’s background…

Then, suddenly one day, members of the Ji Clan stormed into the Busheka family estate, angrily reprimanding Hong and ordering him to stop pursuing Ji Qing. Such a situation would be frustrating for anyone.

“The Ji Clan is much stronger than the Busheka family in terms of influence. So, Senior Busheka couldn’t do anything,” Hong shook his head. “Senior Busheka once visited the Yin Xue Marquis on my behalf, but unfortunately, the Yin Xue Marquis… didn’t even meet Senior Busheka. For Senior Busheka to lose face because of me, I truly…”

Hong’s expression was complex as he tilted his head back and drained his glass of wine.

Luo Feng listened, nodding slightly.

Busheka?

Perhaps a relatively powerful Undying God, but the power gap between Undying Gods could sometimes be vast. That Yin Xue Marquis, Ji Tianzang, was one of the 300 Marquis! He had been a Marquis-level Undying for a very long time and was also an old minister of the Ganwu Nation Lord. Whether in terms of influence or individual strength, he absolutely suppressed Busheka.

Moreover, based on the information Luo Feng had gathered using his own authority, the Yin Xue Marquis was clearly a very arrogant individual.

It was within Luo Feng’s expectations that the Yin Xue Marquis would refuse to meet Busheka.

“It seems this Marquis-level Undying is truly enraged and strongly opposes this matter,” Luo Feng mused with a frown. “Hmm, once my official appointment comes through, and I become one of the top few individuals in the Ganwu Branch… then my words will carry enough weight.”

“Big Brother, wait a few more days. Once my appointment arrives, I’ll go and meet that Yin Xue Marquis,” Luo Feng said.
