Azure Snow World

"How will I judge?" Luo Feng's eyes burned with fire, and he sneered, "How do you think I'll judge them!"

"Impressive, the Virtual Universe Company is truly impressive. My final fourth-ring mission is this, and it even makes me judge my own father." Luo Feng clearly remembered the detailed information of the 21 criminals in that mission, and of course, every single word of his father Luo Hongguo's information was etched clearly in his mind.

His father's crime was also killing many cosmic citizens of considerable status. Of course, his father didn't do it himself; he had almost always stayed on Earth, playing virtual games all day, so it was naturally impossible for him to personally commit such acts. The information provided by the Virtual Universe Company stated... Luo Hongguo was a devoted player of "Azure Snow World," one of the top ten virtual games.

Virtual games actually held significant influence in humanity's 1008 Cosmic Nations. This was because becoming an unparalleled expert was incredibly difficult; only one Universe-level being emerged from countless individuals, and the probability of a Sector Lord appearing was pitifully low. Therefore, many who found their path to strength blocked, felt their lives lacked purpose, wealthy scions, or those with ample free time after work... all chose to play virtual games.

Being 100% virtual, the experience felt exactly like reality. If one couldn't become a Universe-level expert in reality, they might become a super expert in a virtual game, still commanding legions and dominating the world. How unrestrained was that?

Therefore! The virtual game industry was an incredibly developed sector with an enormous audience. Naturally, competition among virtual games was fierce, yet the Virtual Universe Company's own games captured the vast majority of the market share. Among them, "Azure Snow World" was one of the top ten virtual games.

At its peak, the number of online cosmic citizens playing the game rivaled one-third of a Cosmic Nation's population... With so many players, the profits within "Azure Snow World" were naturally astonishing.

Luo Hongguo! With Luo Feng as his son, he was naturally a wealthy figure among game players. A small amount of money casually given by his son was comparable to the entire fortune of a Sector Lord. However, true experts mostly played virtual games for entertainment; cultivating and enhancing their own strength was the most fundamental pursuit. Luo Hongguo, on the other hand, had financial support, an immense passion for gaming, considerable talent, and Luo Feng had even helped him cultivate to Universe-level, giving him superior awareness and reactions that put him ahead of many players. Naturally, he thrived in the game!

Luo Hongguo founded a guild called 'Nirvana'. The Nirvana guild grew incredibly fast, astonishingly so. However, "Azure Snow World" players were spread across 1008 Cosmic Nations, many of whom were individuals with no future prospects in their families but ample disposable income. These players, who faced setbacks in reality, fought fiercely in the virtual game. Therefore, the competition among the numerous guilds and factions within the virtual game was extremely brutal!

This led to... the elimination of certain troublesome individuals in reality. For example, if a guild leader was eliminated in the real world, their guild would naturally collapse and disband. Although the Virtual Universe Company would not leak player information, players often inadvertently revealed their own information during casual communication. Furthermore, many players would call upon friends, with large groups adventuring together. If one person's information was leaked, the information of everyone else would naturally be exposed.

During the growth of the Nirvana guild, there were thousands of real-world assassinations! Several of them were extremely bloody. As the leader of the Nirvana guild, Luo Hongguo naturally bore primary responsibility!

"Foolishness," Luo Feng fumed, his anger almost driving him mad. "My father was always an ordinary worker. He barely attended school as a child before experiencing the Grand Nirvana! Later, he worked tirelessly to care for my brother and me, lacking cunning, being simple, and not receiving a good education... How could he be fit to be a guild leader?"

Didn't Luo Feng know his father's character? He had always been a hard laborer, and his virtual gaming was purely driven by a deeply buried dream. How could his father understand the hidden dangers within it?

"Nearly one-third of a Cosmic Nation's population as peak online players—what does that even mean? At its highest, one out of every three thousand cosmic citizens played this game!" Luo Feng had also tried virtual games; each one was indeed a captivating new world. "With so many players, how immense must the profits be?" "Where there are profits, there are all sorts of schemes and conspiracies." "The Nirvana guild grew rapidly, astonishingly fast? For my father alone to develop a guild so quickly in a game teeming with countless elites is simply impossible. If my father had such foresight and cunning, he wouldn't have been doing manual labor for over twenty years." A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. "It must be either because my father had money, or because they knew his identity and considered the father of a Ganwu Branch Supervisory Envoy to be a powerful figure. So, one by one, they joined the Nirvana guild my father founded."

Ganwu Branch Supervisory Envoy! A big shot! To those game players, such a super big shot, ranked among the top ten in an entire Cosmic Nation, was absolutely an exalted existence. With the father of such a big shot playing games and forming a guild, joining under the big shot's father naturally meant having money, power, and ease of doing business.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay.

Luo Feng's home.

"Give the order," Luo Feng commanded, "Capture these 20 people for me immediately. Don't let a single one escape." As he spoke, he slammed a piece of paper onto the table.

"What's making you so unhappy?" Xu Xin picked up the paper and looked. The paper had 20 names. "Luo Fuxin," "Luo Yuqian," "Luo Yurong"... After reading them, Xu Xin looked at Luo Feng in surprise, asking, "Why do you want to capture these 20 people? They all have their own careers, and they are considered 20 of the most outstanding descendants of our Luo Clan. Their businesses are doing very well, and I was even planning to bring three of them into some important family ventures."

"Summon them?" Luo Feng said coldly, "Stop talking. Just arrange to capture all 20 of them immediately. Remember, not a single one can escape." "Alright," Xu Xin replied, no longer asking questions, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Over the years, Xu Xin had primarily managed the family's affairs, and her management abilities were indeed very strong.

"Also, bring all 20 of them to Qianhua Star," Luo Feng said coldly. "I will arrive at Qianhua Star within three days."

Luo Feng had never been so enraged during his previous three missions, whether it was anger at his descendants for being disappointing, or anger at the Virtual Universe Company for deliberately assigning him such a task. In his fury, Luo Feng had no desire to slowly fly back from the Gulun Cosmic Nation by spaceship. Instead, he relied on Dylan's swift God Kingdom teleportation to return to the Milky Way Galaxy! Then he headed to 'Qianhua Star'.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Qiulong Star.

In a luxurious mansion, almost all visitors were wealthy and influential. The owner of this mansion was named Luo Fuxin, a newly rising energy merchant within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The energy industry was inherently a highly profitable one, with a very high barrier to entry. Yet, no one had ever dared to provoke Luo Fuxin! Even the imperial family enthusiastically assisted him.

"Lord Luo, Lord Luo," a sharp voice rang out. A thin, skeletal-looking middle-aged man in a luxurious golden robe walked through the mansion with a large group of beautiful women behind him, shouting loudly. Suddenly, a handsome young man emerged from a distant corridor, also dressed in exquisite finery, and laughed heartily, "It's Katos, my dear Katos, I've missed you terribly."

"Oh, let me see these beautiful ladies behind you," the noble young man's eyes lit up as he looked at the group of beauties from various races.

"Lord Luo, these are exquisite maidens from various races I painstakingly gathered for you, traveling across dozens of star systems," the skeletal middle-aged man chuckled slyly. He knew very well how immense the power represented by this young man was; even the Ganwu Branch Commerce Department Minister had to show respect to that Supervisory Envoy. And the Ganwu Branch Commerce Department Minister... was arguably the most formidable figure in the entire Ganwu Universe Nation's business sector. Anyone who offended that Commerce Department Minister could forget about doing business, so naturally, he had to curry favor with this young man.

Hadn't he seen... that no department dared to extort this young man? Hadn't he seen... that those who dared to defy him had all died?

"Mhm," the noble young man carefully examined the beauties from various races, praising them, "My dear Katos, I am truly grateful to you. I can increase your share of the energy crystals you need by 25%."

"25%? After all that effort, only this much more? What a stingy fellow," the skeletal middle-aged man cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he was full of grateful smiles, saying, "Lord Luo, you are truly too generous. If you have any further requests, please command me, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three streaks of light suddenly plunged down from the sky.

"Who's there!" "How dare you trespass on the Luo Estate!" Roars erupted from within the mansion, and a group of Universe-level slave guards rushed out.

However, the three streaks of light landed directly in front of the noble young man, and their powerful aura immediately spread. "Three Domain Lords!" The skeletal middle-aged man's heart trembled at the sight. The strongest expert in the Silverblue Empire, a cosmic elementary civilization, had only just reached Second-tier Domain Lord. Now, three Domain Lords had suddenly appeared.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my Luo Clan mansion!" "Luo Fuxin, by the Clan Head's order, you are officially under arrest." One of the three Domain Lords directly displayed a token, then seized the terrified Luo Fuxin. Whoosh! They immediately tore through the air and departed.

"I am Luo Yuqian, how dare you arrest me, you're courting death!"

"I am a Luo Clan descendant, who are you!"

"The Ganwu Branch Supervisory Envoy is my Luo Clan Head, how dare you arrest me!"

The Luo Clan descendants wielded even greater power than the imperial family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. These 20 individuals were all considered ruthless and highly accomplished within the family, yet when they realized it was their own clan sending people to arrest them, they were all dumbfounded.

"Rumble~~~" The blood-red triangular spaceship transformed into a streak of light and directly plunged into the atmosphere of 'Qianhua Star,' a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy. Inside the spaceship's control room. Luo Feng's eyes were cold as he overlooked Qianhua Star, as if seeing the imprisoned Luo Clan descendants.
