“The central region of the world within a world has the most universe crystals. However, those adventurers are not fools. The two holy lands, the four major organisations, the sixteen great families, as well as adventurers from various primary universe countries and different planets, are almost all heading towards the central region to compete. The competition there is the fiercest, and the rocks in that area are also extremely hard, just like the Wind Thunder Valley in the Thunder World. Digging there is also very difficult. It is better to conduct a large scale search in the outer areas of the world within a world.”
“Scattered universe crystals may seem few individually, but accumulated together, they are still astonishing.”
Babata continued persuading him.
While listening, Luo Feng also controlled the Moyun Vine to drill underground. More than three hours later, this was the third place where they had found universe crystals.
“We really struck it rich.” Luo Feng was secretly delighted.
The first location gave them 3,000 cubic metres.
The second location was slightly less, 2,000 cubic metres.
The third location, according to Babata’s scan, contained 4,000 cubic metres.
“Chi chi~~” The Moyun Vine quickly retracted.
“Babata, how much did we get? 4,000 cubic metres?” Luo Feng asked.
“Mm, four thousand.” Babata replied.
Luo Feng immediately looked up at Hong and Thunder God and smiled.
“4,000 cubic metres.”
“Haha…” Hong and Thunder God both showed delighted expressions.
Although blood relations meant keeping accounts clearly between brothers, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God all understood that when it came to gains from universe adventures, if they did not clarify things from the beginning, conflicts could easily arise in the future. They had seen too many such situations on Earth.
Therefore, the three of them had agreed long ago.
If all three worked together, each person would receive one third.
If one person contributed the most effort while the other two assisted, the person making the greatest contribution would receive 60 percent, while the other two would each receive 20 percent.
If one person handled everything while the other two did not participate, the person doing all the work would receive 80 percent, while the other two would each receive 10 percent.
“We now have a total of 9,000 cubic metres of universe crystals.” Luo Feng was in a good mood.
“Continue searching.” Hong said worriedly. “We probably do not have much time left. Once the forces of the major organisations arrive here, there probably will not be anything left for us.”
“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded, his expression becoming serious.
Those family disciples and young members of organisations would definitely report this to their organisations. Soon, Universe-level powerhouses, even Domain Lords, and perhaps even the peak force of the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the World Lords, would arrive.
At that time, where would there be any opportunity for a Stellar-level cannon fodder like himself to interfere?
A newly discovered world would already drive people mad and cause many powerful warriors to die.
Not to mention a newly discovered world within a world.
A world within a world attracted even more powerful experts than ordinary worlds.
“Move faster!” Luo Feng shouted. “Let’s continue searching for the next location.”
……
Inside the world within a world, it was like digging for treasures.
Other teams might not be able to match Luo Feng’s team, but even obtaining 100 cubic metres of universe crystals would already be an astronomical fortune for ordinary Stellar-level adventurers. Therefore, all the Stellar-level adventurers had begun digging frantically.
Unless they went to the central region and fought against tens of thousands of adventurers, in terms of digging efficiency, they truly could not catch up with Luo Feng’s team.
There was no way around it.
Babata’s detection equipment came from the Meteorite Ink Star ship. Even ordinary World Lords did not possess such advanced equipment.
A triangular, charcoal black spaceship travelled through the universe and arrived in the starry sky not far from Canglan Star.
Two men wearing silver white cloaks stood side by side. They also wore two star mercenary badges on their chests.
“Brother Mingyu, this time the two of us should be able to obtain some treasures. The Thunder World Lord had a great reputation back then. It is said he possessed many treasures. When he finally died, he self detonated, and nobody gained any benefits.” A handsome man with long purple hair, a silver white cloak, and eyes sharp like swords spoke.
“Brother Donglai, both of us are quite close to Canglan Star and arrived at the first opportunity. It is only natural that we can obtain some treasures.” The other man had a sturdy build and a dark blue green body.
These two people could be said to be complete opposites.
One was handsome, elegant, and carefree with purple hair, while the other was massive and muscular, as if he had been forged from steel.
They were two famous experts from Three Axe Mountain, Mingyu and Shao Donglai. Both were top tier experts among Domain Lords. Of course, they were also external members of the Virtual Universe Company’s Martial Department.
The external members of the Virtual Universe Company’s Martial Department were allowed to belong to many smaller organisations.
Compared with the Virtual Universe Company, even the Ganwu Universe Country was not much of a threat, let alone the Three Axe Mountain organisation within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
“Although those Stellar-level adventurers were the first to discover the world within a world, the treasures inside are not something those little fellows can obtain. If they can get some universe crystals, that is already an enormous harvest. They should be satisfied.” The purple-haired man Shao Donglai smiled.
“When we were Stellar-level, we could not obtain universe crystals.” Mingyu sighed.
The two Domain Lords naturally assumed that the Stellar-level adventurers had no qualifications to interfere with the treasures of the world within a world.
“Should we go to the planet’s docking port?” Shao Donglai asked.
“No need.” Mingyu shook his head. “I own property on Canglan Star. Flying the spaceship directly in is not considered a provocation against the planet lord.”
The spaceship entered Canglan Star’s atmosphere and soon stopped directly above the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters.
……
One handsome and one muscular, both wearing the silver white cloaks representing their identities.
The two flew down.
“Mingyu, Donglai.” A green skinned man wearing armour immediately flew over.
“Mole, what happened?” Mingyu and Shao Donglai, the two Domain Lords, flew over. The green skinned man, who seemed to have a second pupil inside his eyes, unhappily pointed towards a villa in the distance.
“Look, the entrance to the Thunder World is being guarded by people from the Universe Mercenary Alliance. They are not allowing anyone else to enter.”
“What is going on?” Mingyu and Shao Donglai were shocked.
Now that all the major forces of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had sent experts over, could the person in charge of the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters on Canglan Star really dare to stop them?
“Let’s go over.” Mingyu said.
The three Domain Lords immediately walked over.
Standing at the entrance of the villa were twelve Universe-level powerhouses. Each one had their own unique presence, some cold and stern, some domineering, some smiling, and some sinister.
The villa guards did not dare to stop them, but standing at the entrance was a woman with short silver hair wearing bright silver battle armour.
“Mingyu Sir.”
“Donglai Sir.”
Many Universe-level powerhouses immediately bowed respectfully.
Mingyu and Shao Donglai nodded slightly, then looked at the woman.
“The Thunder World has revealed the existence of a world within a world. It is no longer suitable to serve as an examination world. Since it is no longer suitable, every mercenary should have the qualifications to enter. What are you doing standing here?” Mingyu shouted.
“Who are you?” the silver haired woman shouted.
“Mingyu, the commander of Three Axe Mountain, Mingyu.” The sturdy and muscular Mingyu stared at the woman.
“Listen carefully, my name is Chinia.” The silver haired woman gave off a cold aura, as if she were the ruler and deity of the surrounding area.
“Chinia?” Mingyu and Shao Donglai frowned.
World Lords were extremely rare in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and there were not many Domain Lords either. They knew every famous expert, yet they had never heard of a female Domain Lord named Chinia.
“The Thunder World is an examination world. It is an examination world recognised by the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Unless the alliance cancels its status as an examination world, it remains an examination world. As a place used to select apprentice mercenaries, only Stellar-level adventurers are qualified to enter. Mercenaries are forbidden from entering!” The silver haired woman shouted.
Mingyu, Shao Donglai, and Mole, the three Domain Lord experts, became angry.
Rules?
Sometimes rules needed to be followed, but sometimes there was no need to follow them.
“Chinia, what is your position within the Universe Mercenary Alliance? How dare you stop three two star universe mercenaries!” Mingyu shouted.
……
Eight hours later.
The sky had already become dark. Outside the villa at the entrance of the Thunder World, the number of Domain Lords had reached six, while Universe-level powerhouses had reached twenty one. However, facing the silver haired woman Chinia, nobody could enter.
“Boom!”
The heavens and earth trembled slightly.
Many people from the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters looked upward. They saw a silver white pyramid appear in the sky, causing many people including Mingyu to exclaim.
“A mechanical race spaceship?”
Within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, there were only a few experts who possessed mechanical race spaceships. Each one had extraordinary backgrounds, and this spaceship in front of them seemed to be extremely advanced.
The silver white pyramid suddenly disappeared.
A bald and extremely muscular man suddenly appeared. Flames faintly burned in his eyes, and there was a flame mark between his eyebrows.
His gaze swept downward, immediately causing all the Domain Lords below to feel their souls tremble and lower their heads. The Universe-level powerhouses had already respectfully bowed.
“Lord Anmengz!” The Domain Lords and Universe-level warriors respectfully greeted him.
Anmengz, known as the Flame World Lord, was absolutely one of the peak experts among the World Lords of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. His control over flames had reached an unimaginable level. When his flames burned, they were powerful enough to make space collapse.
“Move aside!”
Anmengz looked at the silver haired woman.
The silver haired woman looked at Anmengz. Her gaze stopped on the flame mark between his eyebrows, and she revealed a strange smile.
“Anmengz? You have already gained recognition from the origin laws of the universe? Truly worthy of being a peak World Lord expert. However, this is an examination world, an examination world recognised by the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Only Stellar-level adventurers participating in the examination may enter. Mercenaries are forbidden from entering!”
“I told you to move aside!” Anmengz’s voice was deep and powerful, carrying a feeling that made people’s hearts tremble.
Buzz!
Suddenly, silver white light appeared around the silver haired woman.
“Impudent!” The silver haired woman shouted angrily, pointing at the super powerhouse in front of her. “Anmengz, are you truly daring to challenge the regulations of the Universe Mercenary Alliance? An examination world cannot be entered by anyone above Stellar level. If you want to die, then go inside. I guarantee that if you enter now, afterwards the enforcement team of the Universe Mercenary Alliance will definitely kill you, causing your soul to turn into nothingness and disappear completely!”
“Everyone else, listen carefully.”
The silver haired woman moved aside and pointed towards the villa.
“If you want to die, then enter!”
For a moment.
The six Domain Lords and twenty one Universe-level powerhouses all became silent. Even the Flame World Lord Anmengz looked thoughtfully at the silver haired woman and did not force his way in.
Time passed day by day.
More and more powerful experts gathered on Canglan Star, but not a single one could enter the Thunder World.
It seemed that the words “If you want to die, then enter” possessed astonishing deterrence.
Meanwhile, inside the world within a world, those Stellar-level cannon fodder were in a state of excited madness, and Luo Feng’s group was also desperately making use of every second.
