Chapter 58: The Virtual Universe
With the citizenship of the Black Dragon Empire’s nationality, it was easy to handle opening an account.
After paying 17 Dry Witch Coins, all formalities were completed.
“Sir, 10 bearer accounts have been bound to these 10 consciousness sensor helmets, here’s your change, thank you for your patronage.” The reception woman smiled, Luo Feng casually put the 10 sensor helmets directly into his spatial ring, according to Babata’s previous instruction – in the Gnarled Planet you can reveal that you have a spatial ring!
However, one must when one’s spatial ring is 10 meters in length, width and height, one must not put in anything that exceeds this volume.
After all, ……
Space storage artifacts are divided into classes. If you can ride the Black Dragon Airship and have quicksilver guards as bodyguards, it’s normal to have a small storage space item. Of course, like Luo Feng’s kind of space ring that was “over 600 meters long, over 500 meters wide and over 100 meters high”, it was definitely a luxury item, and if someone knew about it, it was very likely to lose one’s life.
Luo Feng’s body, such as the Meteorite Ink Star, the corpses of immortal powerhouses, and his weapons were all priceless treasures, and the Red Mixed Copper Mother Fragment and the space ring were also incredibly expensive.
A hair plucked off the leg of a powerhouse like the Meteor Ink Star master was stronger than the Zaron Star domain master!
One could imagine how terrible the consequences would be if Luo Feng, the “Meteorite Ink Star heir”, dared to reveal his real treasures.
In Qionglong City, in a casual restaurant, although the restaurant’s style was new and different, a lot of things were more similar to Earth.
Even if it is a different planet, human beings still have a lot in common, such as “emphasizing privacy”, “wanting to be respected” and so on, the Earth’s ancient restaurants have private rooms, the Earth’s modern society restaurant still has private rooms! And this developed and incomparable gnarled dragon star, the restaurant also has high privacy box.
Of course …… the price cost is one step higher.
“Alright, you go out.” Luo Feng ordered a cup of exotic fruit juice and let the waiter leave.
“Sir, if something happens you please press this button.” The waiter smiled and walked away and closed the door.
Ka!
Luo Feng took the initiative to close the compartment door from the inside and ordered the two quicksilver guards to guard him.
“Babata, enter the virtual universe.” Luo Feng commanded.
“Haha, I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.” Babata was extremely excited, after opening his account, he wanted to enter the virtual universe, but once he entered the virtual universe, he had to leave his consciousness, although Luo Feng was able to multi-task now, he didn’t have the ability to “split consciousness”. So he must find a safe place.
“Virtual universe connection in progress ……”
A low and loud voice echoed in Luo Feng’s consciousness.
Luo Feng’s consciousness was dark.
This was an ancient city, the streets were paved with large chunks of cut and shaped rocks, the passersby on the streets were strange looking, different heights, different races, but most of them were wearing plain gray clothes, and every single one of them had an elf on their shoulders.
Brush!
A person suddenly appeared in the crowd of the street, it was Luo Feng. Luo Feng was dressed in plain gray clothes, and on his shoulder sat a fist-sized “Demon Babata”, who was also dressed in uniform green clothes, cute and adorable, just like an elf.
“This, this is the virtual universe network?”
Luo Feng stood on the street, looking at the flow of people on the street, somewhat stunned.
“That’s for sure.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind, “We’re currently on a ‘Black Dragon Mountain Island’ on the edge of the ‘Qianwu Continent’ in the virtual universe.”
“Island?” Luo Feng blinked.
“All those within the boundaries of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire that connect to the virtual universe network will directly appear on the ‘Black Dragon Mountain Island’.” Babata said, “Although it’s said to be an island, the Black Dragon Mountain star field has more than 8,000 galaxies, and there are a large number of humans in countless planets that are online. So, the area of this island is bigger than the area of any planet in the real universe.”
Luo Feng marveled.
“Anyone who enters the virtual universe has a ‘virtual assistant’.” Babata said, “It’s the ‘elf’ on everyone’s shoulder.”
“The degree of intelligence of the virtual assistant has to do with whether the person surfing the Internet is using a ‘sensory helmet’, an ‘auxiliary light brain’, or an ‘intelligent light brain’, ‘Intelligent Life’ is related. A gremlin, like the one formed by the sensor helmet, can’t think at all and will only give simple answers. It will only do it if you command it.” Babata explained.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“In the virtual universe, you can chat with your friends remotely. You can also pay to teleport and meet in the virtual universe.” Babata explained, “And, some of the ones that are truly similar to ‘securities and futures’ can also be operated in the virtual universe.”
“You can be tied to a bank account.”
“You can learn martial arts here!”
“You can buy and sell orders here.”
“You can play virtual games. This is a 100% simulated virtual game, exactly the same as reality. Virtual games are also divided into many kinds of …… It can be said that there is only what you can’t think of, and there is nothing that the game suppliers can’t do.”
“Games, food, beautiful women, finance, trading, martial arts, learning …… anything!” Babata said, “The virtual universe, is a market that is incomparably larger than any planet. It gathers all the human elites in the universe, and what cannot be realized in reality can be realized here.”
“Some people, treating virtual games as reality, play them for hundreds or thousands of years. Marrying wives and having children inside the game. Of course the premise is …… you have money to play the game! After all, most players of virtual games, are paying money, making money is very, very few.”
Luo Feng marveled.
It was too vast!
Compared to the real universe, the virtual universe is what is incomparably prosperous and attractive ah!
“But virtual virtual, is ultimately virtual.” Babata said seriously, “Even if you stay in the virtual universe for a long time, you can’t allow your body to cultivate! The virtual universe is just a convenient passage for the strong. You can meet and communicate with many like-minded strong people through it.”
“You can buy and sell many things that you can’t buy in your native land.”
“And if you soak in the virtual universe all day long, or even go to play virtual games, unless you have no stress, no ambition and have money to squander, most of them will be tragic!” Babata solemnly said.
He was well aware of the temptation of virtual games, so he had to remind Luo Feng.
“Of course, it’s fine if you play some interactive cultivation games, or single player cultivation games, similar to the ‘trial tower’ kind on your earth.” Babata added.
“Trial tower?” Luo Feng was speechless.
Is that called a game?
It was purely grinding.
“Baba tower, check out the metal combinations that the golden horned beast needs, and the metal combinations to cultivate the Origin Heaven and Earth.” Luo Feng asked with his mind, in the virtual universe, it was still safe to communicate with Babata’s mind. The “Virtual Universe Company” claimed that it would never monitor anyone’s information, and would never disclose anyone’s information.
The two absolutes were the cornerstones of the Virtual Universe Company’s foothold.
“Luo Feng, Stellar level Golden Horned Beast devouring metal, the best metal combination, is 325 kinds of B grade pure metal combination, can increase the growth speed of the world in the body by 89 times …… Well, I’ve already collected the information of these 325 kinds of metal, and they’re all available for sale in the universe!” Babata quickly gathered all of the seekers.
“How about it, roughly how much does it cost?” Luo Feng even asked.
89 times ah!
Stellar level first stage to cosmic level first stage, the slowest is 100 years. Once you use that metal combination to devour it, you can step into the “cosmic level” with a little bit a year.
In a planet like Dragon Planet, one is a big shot. In the Milky Way Galaxy, it was even more important to be a king of the land.
“For a year’s amount, it needs to be more than 60 billion Black Dragon Coins.” Babata said.
“Why is it so much? A ton of B-grade metal basalt essence, isn’t that only 9 black dragon coins? Even though it’s a combination of metals, it’s even more powerful to eat. But hundreds of thousands of tons a year is up to the top! How come it’s over 60 billion?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask. Hundreds of thousands of tons of arcane iron essence was only a few million black dragon coins.
“Luo Feng, you have the wrong idea!”
“Although A grade metals, are cheaper than B grade metals, B grade is cheaper than C grade, and C grade is cheaper than D grade metals …… this is a relatively normal situation. But there are still some very special metals.” Babata said, “Out of the blue, the C grade metal ‘Quicksilver’ is the Quicksilver that makes Quicksilver Guards!”
“A Quicksilver Guard consumes about a ton of Quicksilver.”
“A ton of C-grade Uttrium is just over 3,000 Black Dragon Coins.”
“But a quicksilver guard, do you know how much it costs?” Babata asked rhetorically. Luo Feng was stunned.
Right, Gao Sheng as well as those official department personnel, saw the reaction of the quicksilver guards …… Obviously quicksilver guards are expensive! Otherwise it wouldn’t care so much.
“A quicksilver guard has a price tag of 280 million black dragon coins! A ton of quicksilver metal is priced at 160 million black dragon coins. It’s way, way more expensive than the Uttrium Metal, which is also C grade.” Babata said, “It’s because Quicksilver Metal is special and rare that it’s incomparably expensive! It’s more expensive than many D grade metals.”
“And of the 325 combinations of grade B metals needed for your ‘inner world’ to grow, three of them are metals with ‘spatial attributes’, which are the main materials for making spatial artifacts. That’s why it’s more expensive, plus your amount is too large.” Babata explained.
Luo Feng smiled bitterly and was helpless.
That was the main material for making spatial rings and other artifacts, wouldn’t it be cheap?
And he himself was to devour hundreds of tons every day, a year of devouring it?
More than 60 billion black dragon coins, is not expensive!
But one didn’t have any money!
900 Dry Witch Coins was equivalent to 900,000 Black Dragon Coins. It is too far away from more than sixty billion, this huge number …….
“Of course, there are other metal combinations that are much cheaper. But it’s still not something you can afford.” Babata said, “For example, there is a metal combination that costs more than 10 billion points a year and increases the cultivation speed by 39 times. There’s also one that costs more than 3 billion Black Dragon Dollars a year and increases cultivation speed by 20 times. There’s also one that spends over 100 million a year and increases the cultivation speed by 5 times.”
The Golden Horned Beast looked for metal for trouble.
But as a human, it was much easier to find metals, and there were a few that could not be bought in the “virtual universe”.
But…
You have to spend money!
“The Golden Horned Beast is too good at eating, every day it’s tons and tons.” Luo Feng’s heart ached immensely.
“As for the combination of metals needed for the Origin Heaven and Earth, it’s even more expensive …… For the time being, you’d better not think about it.” Babata said directly.
Luo Feng put all of this behind him and asked the second important question, “Babata, if I want to set the earth under my name and I become the lord of the earth! What are the conditions?” The best way to prevent people from other planets from selling the Earth and the Earthlings becoming slaves is – become an Earth Lord yourself!
Recognized by Imperial law!
Surely no one could take a planet that had a lord!
“Become an Earth Lord? I’ll look it up ……” Babata blinked.
