“You should have been a five person team, right?” The squad captain, Ben Di, looked at Luo Feng and the other three.
As one of the two Universe Level experts in the Three Axes Mountain faction within the Realm Within the Realm, Ben Di had access to detailed information.
“We were indeed a five person team before, but one of us has already died.” Luo Feng sighed.
“Who killed him?” Ben Di frowned.
“The Ninth Prince’s forces.” Luo Feng felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although Tie Nanhe was a servant, on Earth there had never originally been slavery, so Luo Feng subconsciously did not view servant armies as mere “goods”. Instead, he treated them more like bodyguards.
Therefore, regarding Tie Nanhe’s death, Luo Feng felt both moved by Tie Nanhe’s loyalty and angry towards the Ninth Prince.
“The Ninth Prince?” Ben Di shook his head. “Then there is nothing that can be done. Far too many people have died at the hands of his forces.”
“We understand.” Luo Feng nodded.
“If you can survive and leave, Lord Ming Yu will definitely be very happy.” Ben Di smiled. “Let me remind you of one thing, I am also under Lord Ming Yu.”
“Oh?”
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were all greatly surprised. As the leader among the four major organisations, Three Axes Mountain indeed had many powerful World Lords and Domain Lords. Ming Yu was not considered one of the absolute highest ranking figures within Three Axes Mountain, but among the two Universe Level experts that emerged from the Three Axes Mountain organisation this time, one was actually under Ming Yu’s command.
“So Captain Ben Di is also under Lord Ming Yu.” Luo Feng revealed a delighted expression.
“Haha, when we leave the Realm Within the Realm and return to Cang Lan Star, you can travel with me and meet Lord Ming Yu together.” Ben Di smiled.
If not for their common superior, Lord Ming Yu, Ben Di would not have personally come to meet Luo Feng and the others.
“Certainly.” Luo Feng smiled and replied.
Ben Di then left. After all, as a high ranking figure of the Three Axes Mountain faction, he had many matters to handle.
Although it was deep night, people wearing battle armour and covered helmets could often be seen entering the Thunder Castle at the very centre.
Among the crowd, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looked towards the distant Thunder Castle.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you planning to exchange for?” Luo Feng sent a mental message.
“A D6 grade rail cannon, and a Thunder Lightning secret technique.” Thunder God replied.
“Alright.” Luo Feng smiled.
This was what it meant to be wealthy. If you liked something, you simply bought it.
“Big Brother, what about you?” Luo Feng looked towards Hong.
“There does not seem to be much that is useful to me. If there is a Life Fruit, help me buy one. Also, if there is a Star Core, help me buy one as well. Other than that, forget it for now.” Hong said.
“Understood.” Luo Feng nodded, then smiled. “Big Brother, Second Brother, I will exchange the remaining Thunder Stones for other treasures. Those treasures also represent enormous wealth. After we leave, we can use that wealth to buy the items we truly need.”
“Alright.” Hong smiled.
“Third Brother, you decide. After all, most of these were obtained by you.” Thunder God laughed. “Big Brother and I are just taking advantage of you.”
…
Luo Feng did not immediately rush to exchange the treasures. Instead, he silently observed first. There were indeed many people entering the Thunder Castle. However, 99% of them were probably pretending, deliberately trying to confuse others.
The night gradually passed, and a faint brightness appeared within the Realm Within the Realm.
The cold wind swept across the entire plain.
Wearing alloy battle armour, carrying an alloy battle blade on his back, and wearing a covered helmet, Luo Feng dressed in the standard appearance of a cosmic adventurer and walked directly towards the Thunder Castle.
“He is going to the ancient castle.”
“Is he trying to confuse people, or is he really going to exchange?”
“Regardless of whether he is truly exchanging or not, quickly report to the lord. The captain of that four person team has entered the castle.”
“Yes.”
The Ninth Prince’s adventurer guards immediately reported the news.
Luo Feng was completely unaware of this. However, even if he knew, he would probably only laugh disdainfully.
Within this coalition headquarters, inside the Three Axes Mountain faction’s army, Luo Feng truly did not fear anything.
Under the gaze of countless people in the coalition headquarters, Luo Feng stepped into the castle entrance.
Inside the cold and silent ancient hall of Thunder Castle.
Luo Feng quietly stood there.
“I want to exchange for treasures.” Luo Feng shouted.
“Little fellow, wait a moment.” A deep voice echoed throughout the ancient hall. “There have been many people exchanging treasures these past one or two days, so I am quite busy. I will finish handling this one first.”
Luo Feng was secretly shocked.
“That intelligent lifeform is currently serving another person?”
“Sinister, truly sinister!” Babata shouted.
“What happened?” Luo Feng asked through his thoughts.
“This intelligent lifeform is truly abnormal, a sinister fellow.” Babata angrily said. “Although people frequently enter this castle from the coalition forces, normally one person enters every few minutes. That is already considered a lot. This intelligent lifeform is basically telling you indirectly… the person who entered the castle before you is exchanging treasures.”
Luo Feng was shocked.
“You have no power or influence, but if you were someone powerful who controlled those teams, what would you do?” Babata asked.
“I would arrange for people to watch him and attack him as soon as he left the coalition headquarters.” Luo Feng’s eyes were filled with shock.
He understood.
He understood everything.
“That is exactly it. This intelligent lifeform is truly sinister. As an intelligent lifeform, if he says any sentence, could he not calculate the consequences? His calculation ability is extremely terrifying. It is impossible for him to make such a low level mistake. This can only mean one thing, he did it deliberately!”
“His goal is to make all of you kill each other!”
“This intelligent lifeform is truly sinister.” Babata cursed repeatedly.
Luo Feng also felt a surge of anger in his heart.
If his guess was correct, the reason Ninth Prince Brolin arranged for people to hunt him down before was very likely related to the intelligent lifeform inside the castle. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why a dignified Ninth Prince would not trouble the many other people entering the castle, but specifically targeted Luo Feng and his group.
Footsteps sounded from the corridor.
A short and chubby old man with a white beard walked in with a kindly smile. A layer of light surrounded his body. Upon closer inspection, one could barely notice that the white bearded old man was not a real person, but an energy body formed from gathered energy.
“Lord Wu.” Although Luo Feng was angry inside, he remained very polite on the surface.
Fighting against a “perverted” intelligent lifeform that had been lonely for millions of years was extremely foolish.
“Little fellow, this is our second meeting, right?” The white bearded old man smiled. “It seems your harvest has been quite good. Tell me, what do you want to exchange for?”
“One Life Fruit.” Luo Feng said.
“Last time you exchanged for a Life Fruit, and this time you still want one?” The white bearded old man looked at Luo Feng in surprise.
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.
“No more, no more.” The white bearded old man shook his head repeatedly. “All my Life Fruits have already been exchanged away. There is not even one left.”
“Not even one?” Luo Feng was stunned.
That was right.
Thunder Stones represented treasures, but they did not mean that having Thunder Stones guaranteed obtaining the treasure you wanted. The treasures here were limited.
For example, even if Ninth Prince Brolin obtained countless Thunder Stones later, he still would not be able to obtain the third password of the inheritance crystal ball.
“Then I want a Star Core.” Luo Feng said.
“Also gone.” The white bearded old man shook his head.
“What? Also gone? Then… there should at least be a D6 grade rail cannon.” Luo Feng stared at the white bearded old man.
For World Lords and Domain Lords, a D6 grade rail cannon did not have a particularly high cost performance ratio. The possibility of someone exchanging for it was probably very low. Furthermore, there were originally three D6 grade rail cannons here.
“Also gone.” The white bearded old man shook his head. “The three D6 grade rail cannons were all bought by one person on the first day.”
“Uh…”
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
This was gone, that was gone. Whatever he wanted, there was nothing left.
“Lord Wu, what treasures do you still have?” Luo Feng looked at the white bearded old man.
“After all exchanges until now, 63 treasures remain.” The white bearded old man smiled at Luo Feng. “I have a good impression of you, so I will not waste your time.”
As he waved his hand, countless streams of energy gathered around him and formed a screen. A list of treasures appeared on the screen, clearly showing the remaining quantities.
“No.1 Complete spatial secret technique inheritance crystal ball bank account, three level account, remaining quantity: none.
No.2 Master’s deposit bank account, remaining quantity: none.
No.3 Domain Lord level bloodline medicine, one portion, remaining quantity: none.
…
No.18 Thunder One secret technique, six sets, remaining quantity: five sets.
…
No.68 Fifth rank Origin Force weapon, Skyfire Wheel, one piece, remaining quantity: none.”
Luo Feng looked at the list and sucked in a breath of cold air.
My god.
None, none, none, none, none, none!
A huge string of “none” was enough to make anyone lose hope.
“Little fellow, what will you buy? Choose.” The white bearded old man smiled at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng became troubled.
What should he choose?
“Luo Feng, why are you stunned? Idiot!” Babata’s voice sounded.
“You want a Star Core? There are none here, but there are some in the universe!”
“You want a Life Fruit? There are also some in the universe!”
“As long as you have enough wealth and go through some special channels, you can buy them. So… you do not need to stare at this list. You only need to exchange for the treasures with the highest cost performance. These treasures represent huge wealth. Later, you can just buy treasures in the universe.” Babata said.
Luo Feng laughed helplessly.
Such a simple principle. He had actually been restricted by his own thinking because he was focused only on the list.
“These have the highest cost performance. I recommend you buy these.” Babata communicated with Luo Feng mentally and told him what to purchase.
“This one, and that one.”
“And these, take all of them.”
“As for the Thunder One secret technique, there are still five sets left. I want all of them too.”
Luo Feng was extremely wealthy.
The white bearded old man was completely stunned.
Normally, those who possessed large amounts of Thunder Stones bought treasures right at the beginning. The later someone came to exchange, the fewer Thunder Stones they usually possessed. Yet Luo Feng wanted so many treasures at once, and the required number of Thunder Stones was an astonishing amount.
“A total of 9.02 million Thunder Stones are required.” The white bearded old man stared fixedly at Luo Feng.
