Mid-sized World

The Wulong Starfield, one of the nine garbage starfields, is in reality a true treasure trove. In the dark starry sky, ripples of space spread, and a blood-red triangular spaceship appeared out of thin air. In the spaceship's control room, Luo Feng and Dilun both gazed at the palace complex suspended in the starry sky. “Luo Feng, we’ve reached the spatial coordinates, cosmic transit complete. We’re very close to the palace complex now; it’ll only take 25 minutes to fly there,” Babata’s voice echoed in the control room. “One year and two months, we’re finally here. It wasn’t easy to make this trip,” Luo Feng smiled slightly. “Let’s go see Longjue King Tian Huan.” “Yes.” The Yunmo Star spaceship accelerated again, then transformed into a blurry stream of light, flying towards the palace complex. The palace complex was square and orderly, with outer palace walls. Inside the walls were dozens of palaces, varying in height and size. The entire complex spanned over 100,000 kilometers in length and width. Outside the courtyard walls, black-armored guards patrolled. The entire palace complex’s defense and alert system had long since detected Luo Feng and his companions. “Stop.” A warning signal was sent to the Yunmo Star spaceship. “I am Luo Feng, here to pay my respects to Longjue King,” the Yunmo Star spaceship replied with a signal. A moment later, the Yunmo Star spaceship stopped outside the main gate of the palace walls. Luo Feng put away the Yunmo Star, and he and Dilun stood in the cosmic starry sky, looking at the vast palace complex before them. The complex was completely protected by a faintly visible energy shield. With Luo Feng’s knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this energy shield was even more advanced than his Yunmo Star spaceship’s energy shield. Any forced entry would definitely be met with an attack from the defense system. “Rumble~~~” The main gate opened. A silver-robed attendant led a large group of black-armored guards out. Seeing Luo Feng and Dilun, he smiled, “Luo Feng, my master is already waiting for you. Please follow me.” Luo Feng and Dilun, led by the silver-robed attendant, entered the palace complex directly. “Rumble~~~” The main gate closed again. In the most majestic and tallest palace within the complex, a large group of white-robed guards stood at the entrance. Each of these white-robed guards possessed the pinnacle strength of a Universe Lord. Luo Feng and Dilun, following the silver-robed attendant, entered this palace. Along the side corridor, they quickly arrived at a quiet side hall. “Haha, Luo Feng, this is truly our first real meeting,” Longjue King Tian Huan, with dark red skin and red eyes, said with a laugh. “Both of you, please sit.” “Thank you, Longjue King,” Luo Feng said respectfully, then sat down with Dilun. “Last time we met in the Virtual Universe Network, and the entire network is supervised by the virtual universe system, so many things couldn’t be said clearly,” Longjue King laughed. “You said you wanted to buy 10 million Universe Lord-level pinnacle corpses then. I’m not sure if you had secretly investigated. In reality, that amount… is indeed the upper limit of the transaction volume I can approve alone.” Luo Feng was startled. “The nine garbage starfields, any one of them, is richer than a Cosmic Nation,” Longjue King said solemnly. “So, in the Wulong Starfield’s highest management, there are a total of five individuals, coming from the Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Martial Arena, Universe First Bank… these five major human forces.” “For transaction volumes not exceeding 1 million Primal Chaos Units, any one of us five can approve it. But once it exceeds this amount, all five must approve it simultaneously,” Longjue King laughed. “If any one person is given too much power, it could easily lead to a massive loss of assets.” Luo Feng nodded. “And here, every 100,000 Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses cost 10,000 Primal Chaos Units. You want to buy 10 million, so that’s exactly 1 million Primal Chaos Units,” Longjue King looked at Luo Feng. “It’s exactly the upper limit of the transaction volume I can approve. It seems someone told you the upper limit I can approve.” “This is too much of a coincidence,” Luo Feng was astonished. “I really didn’t know about this.” Longjue King glanced at Luo Feng and didn’t ask further. “Hmm!” Longjue King Tian Huan narrowed his eyes, his red, heart-stopping gaze fixed on Luo Feng. “10 million Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses, the price is 1 million Primal Chaos Units. You’ll come with me to pay later.” “I wonder if there’s any discount?” Luo Feng quickly asked. “No,” Longjue King shook his head. “This is the unified pricing of the five major human forces. 100,000 Universe Lord-level pinnacle corpses or 1 billion Domain Lord-level pinnacle corpses are all 10,000 Primal Chaos Units. No bargaining is allowed.” Luo Feng frowned. He had sought out Longjue King precisely to get a better price, but now he couldn’t gain any advantage. “Whether it’s me or the other four supervisors. The prices for transactions we handle… are fixed, no deviation is allowed.” Longjue King Tian Huan noticed Luo Feng’s expression and couldn’t help but grin. “Little fellow, you seem anxious. Don’t rush, keep your composure.” “Every regulation has loopholes,” Longjue King Tian Huan stroked his chin, looking at Luo Feng. “This insectoid corpse transaction, of course, has loopholes. You were introduced by Purple Lightning Marquis, and you are a disciple of the Zhenyan King whom I respect. This time, consider it a small favor from me.” Luo Feng listened intently. “Firstly, not a single cent less for the money,” Tian Huan grinned. “But you should also know that insectoids come in many types. The most top-tier insectoids and some lesser insectoids, even if they are both Universe Lord-level pinnacle, their value can differ by ten times.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. That’s right. Can a Universe Lord-level pinnacle Sharp Shadow insectoid corpse and a Universe Lord-level pinnacle Mantis Hunter insectoid corpse have the same value? Their value differs by about five times! “Every 100,000 Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses form a unit, sold collectively,” Tian Huan smiled. “However, among the countless insectoid corpses stored in the Wulong Starfield, divided into countless units, some units have a majority of top-tier insectoid corpses, while others have a majority of lesser insectoid corpses. Even though they are all Universe Lord-level pinnacle corpses… different units can differ in value by two or three times, and in extreme cases, four or five times.” Luo Feng nodded repeatedly. Right. 10 million Sharp Shadow insectoid corpses and 10 million Mantis Hunter insectoid corpses differ by five times in value. Five times, what does that mean? Buying insectoid corpses worth 5 million Primal Chaos Units for 1 million Primal Chaos Units – the profit margin is astonishing. Selling them immediately could yield a profit of 4 million Primal Chaos Units, how terrifying is that? Of course, in actual operation, it’s hard to find such extreme value differences. Two or three times is more common. “Here are 200 identification tags.” Tian Huan flipped his hand and produced 200 metal tags. The metal tags had complex numbers. “What are these?” Luo Feng reached out and controlled them with his psychic energy. Each metal tag was palm-sized, and 200 of them stacked up were almost as tall as a person. The numbers on each tag were very complex, for example, one number was “B2461—95453—13402—96289—71833”. “Each number represents a commodity unit,” Tian Huan laughed. “With one metal tag, you can buy one unit of Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses. Each unit contains 100,000 insectoid corpses.” “200 units, isn’t that 20 million corpses?” Luo Feng was startled. “These 200 units are all quite good, all offering excellent value for money, containing some relatively high-grade insectoids,” Tian Huan laughed heartily. “I’m giving you 200 metal tags so you can choose the best 100 units from them! Once you’ve made your selection, just return the remaining metal tags to me.” “Understood,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. In his heart, he was secretly grateful. Tian Huan hadn’t asked for any favors or even hinted at anything. But Luo Feng didn’t know… for someone in Tian Huan’s high position, why would he care about such small benefits from Luo Feng? It’s better to do a favor. Sometimes, doing a favor… is more useful than taking benefits. To hold such a lucrative position, one needs not only a strong background but also to be good at dealing with people. “Here, this is a Mid-sized World Ring.” Tian Huan casually tossed out a silver-white ring. “It contains a world with a length, width, and height of 100,000 kilometers. If you purchase goods worth 1 million Primal Chaos Units, you get the opportunity to ‘treasure hunt’ in the ‘Garbage Mountain’.” “Treasure hunt?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Yes,” Tian Huan nodded. “The wars in the Outer Territory Battlefield result in countless wreckage being transported here. Various wreckage is sorted, valuable items are sorted out and sold separately! Some items of very low or no value are gathered in various places, suspended in the starry sky – those are the Garbage Mountains! Generally, those who come to purchase… receive an accompanying World Ring. They can put selected items from the Garbage Mountain directly into it… until the entire ring is full, then they are prohibited from taking any more items from the Garbage Mountain.” “Oh,” Luo Feng nodded. 100,000 kilometers in length, width, and height – hundreds or even thousands of Earths could fit inside, what an enormous capacity! It shows the immense wealth and generosity of the nine garbage starfields in their business dealings. “Haha, the Garbage Mountain is an accumulation of billions of years, countless Garbage Mountains. No one knows how many items are stored there. Maybe there are some treasures,” Tian Huan laughed. “Purchases come with a World Ring, and yours is a Mid-sized World Ring, which can store quite a lot. Go ahead and treasure hunt, you might find some treasures.” Luo Feng also smiled. “Let’s go, to the finance department, first pay the money. Then you can enter the Wulong Starfield… this super treasure trove, and slowly pick the insectoid corpse units you want, and slowly treasure hunt,” Tian Huan said, rising with a smile. The 200 metal tags and the silver-white spatial ring were all tokens, representing Luo Feng’s right to enter the Wulong Starfield and take away that many items. “Luo Feng, 100 units of Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses.” “Transfer successful.” “Sir, 1 million Primal Chaos Units have been credited,” a golden-haired female Immortal God with enchanting looks said respectfully. “Hmm,” Tian Huan nodded, then turned to Luo Feng and Dilun. “Luo Feng, let’s go, I’ll send you into the Wulong Starfield.” Just a moment later, “Within the Human Territory, the Wulong Starfield of the nine garbage starfields’ detailed ledger shows the name of NO.3 Luo Feng. NO.3 Luo Feng just spent 1 million Primal Chaos Units to gain the opportunity to enter the Wulong Starfield and purchase 100 units of Universe Lord-level pinnacle insectoid corpses. It is estimated that he will be in the Wulong Starfield for the next 10-30 days.” An intelligence report, after hundreds of password conversions, was delivered in the Virtual Universe Network as a very ordinary email to a receiving point under an organization’s headquarters.
