Late afternoon, the sky was beautiful.
“So beautiful.”
Luo Feng looked up at the sky. The sky above seemed like a layer of purple gauze. In the distance, however, it gradually turned blue.
“Qiu Long Star’s sky is truly one of a kind.” Gao Sheng smiled and praised it. “In some regions the sky is blue, in others it is purple, green, red, and so on. The colours constantly change. Especially when sunlight passes through the atmosphere and shines on the ocean, the scenery is breathtaking.”
“Qiu Long Star attracted many powerful people because of its beautiful scenery. Gradually, it became more and more prosperous.” Gao Sheng sighed in admiration.
Among the group, Gao Sheng was the slowest flyer.
However, standing on a streamlined, strange flying board beneath his feet, he could still fly at around 2,000 metres per second. While chatting, they quickly covered several hundred kilometres.
“Hm.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as he looked at a distant city.
It was an extremely elegant city, roughly the size of a city on Earth.
“Brother Luo Feng, are you interested too? Haha, that’s considered one of the most luxurious residences on Qiu Long Star. That castle is 9.8 kilometres long and wide. Anyone who can buy a castle like that is an absolute big shot.” Gao Sheng’s eyes shone. “Damn it, I wonder when I’ll be able to afford one.”
“A castle?” Luo Feng was stunned.
“Luo Feng, that’s real estate, just a more extravagant kind of property. Similar to a villa on Earth.” Babata explained. “The universe is vast and contains countless planets, so upper class figures are accustomed to living in enormous residences. For example, your teacher used an entire planet as his home. On a prosperous planet like Qiu Long Star, land is expensive, so a castle measuring 9.8 kilometres in length and width is considered luxurious. On ordinary planets, it wouldn’t be anything special.”
Luo Feng could not help cursing inwardly.
This was simply on a completely different level.
The place people lived in was actually a castle nearly ten kilometres across.
“Hm?”
During the flight, Luo Feng spotted another castle. Far away, there was yet another one.
On a planet as beautiful as Qiu Long Star, owning a castle was indeed an extravagant luxury.
…
More than ten minutes later.
Looking down, Luo Feng saw a densely built area below, filled with one small castle after another.
“These are the cheapest residential properties on Qiu Long Star. A manor only one kilometre long and wide like this would be worth at most one billion Black Dragon Coins even on our Karo Empire’s capital planet.” Gao Sheng muttered. “But on Qiu Long Star, even the cheapest manor costs over ten billion Black Dragon Coins.”
Luo Feng blinked.
Over ten billion Black Dragon Coins?
“Luo Feng, do you own property here?” Gao Sheng asked.
“No, I’m too young.” Luo Feng replied.
“Same here.” Gao Sheng nodded repeatedly. “My old man controls my allowance so tightly. Even the planet he’s giving me won’t be transferred until ten years from now, after my coming of age ceremony.” Gao Sheng looked dissatisfied. “Otherwise, I’d get a manor here on Qiu Long Star and use it as a place to relax and have fun. Once that happens, I’ll be a resident of Qiu Long Star. Then I’d be able to walk around here however I pleased.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Before arriving, Babata had already told him that becoming a resident of Qiu Long Star came with special privileges.
However…
Judging by the staggering property prices here, anyone who could afford a manor, let alone an even more expensive castle, was likely royalty from subordinate nations or members of powerful families. At the very least, they would be planetary lords who owned entire planets.
Even owning a planet did not necessarily mean one would be willing to buy property here.
…
After nearly half an hour of flight.
Luo Feng finally saw an enormous city in the distance. The city walls were pitch black and stretched beyond the horizon. Their end was completely invisible. Along the tops of the walls were giant crystal dragons that looked as if they were made from transparent coloured glass, magnificent and beautiful.
As Luo Feng drew closer, he noticed intricate carvings on the black walls themselves. They depicted countless one horned dragons.
“What a huge city.”
Luo Feng and Gao Sheng’s group landed on the ground and looked up at the enormous walls, their hearts trembling.
The black walls alone stood about 120 metres high. Including the height added by the crystal dragon sculptures above them, the total height reached several hundred metres.
Moreover, the entire city stretched endlessly into the distance. The immense and ancient aura was awe inspiring.
“Qiu Long City is nearly 6,000 kilometres long and wide. Its history spans more than three million years.” Gao Sheng praised.
“It’s exactly as Babata described.”
Luo Feng realised that although Babata had spent fifty thousand years on Earth, the universe itself had changed very little during that time.
Technology, empires, organisations, and many other things had barely changed at all.
For empires that existed for hundreds of millions of years, fifty thousand years truly meant very little.
The giant city gate was nearly one kilometre wide.
People flowed in and out endlessly.
Luo Feng, Gao Sheng, and the others entered through the gate together.
“Signal received. Luo Feng, your communication number in Qiu Long City is 19287342325.” Babata said.
A communication number was similar to a telephone number.
Even the most advanced communication devices could not make calls across light years. Civilised planets automatically assigned codes to visitors’ auxiliary processors and similar devices. Within the planet, people could contact one another through communicators.
Between different planets, however, there was only one way to communicate, entering the Virtual Universe Network and chatting there.
“Luo Feng, what’s your communication number?” Gao Sheng asked. “Mine is 19287342463.”
“Mine is 19287342325.” Luo Feng replied.
“Good.” Gao Sheng grinned. “I’ve just arrived in Qiu Long City and need to visit an elder. Let’s part ways here. Tonight I’ll contact you and treat you to dinner.”
Influenced by his father, Gao Sheng enjoyed making friends. The more friends, the more opportunities.
In his eyes, Luo Feng clearly had a strong background.
“Alright, let’s split up here.” Luo Feng smiled.
…
After parting from Gao Sheng and his group, Luo Feng walked through the super city, feeling amazed.
The surrounding buildings displayed all kinds of architectural styles.
Many were so beautiful they took his breath away.
“This is fascinating.”
“Three eyes. Huh, that person’s teeth are interesting.”
Walking through the streets, Luo Feng saw crowds everywhere. At the same time, countless people flew through the air over a hundred metres above the ground.
Calling them people was only partially accurate, as many looked very strange.
In just five minutes, the tallest human Luo Feng had seen was nearly ten metres tall, while the shortest was no bigger than a baby from Earth.
Their skin colours varied greatly.
Some even had bizarrely shaped heads.
Most still had two eyes, one nose, and one mouth, though many had fur, unusual markings, or other unique features.
“That person looks almost like a Buddha from mythology. His entire body is golden, and his hair is fascinating.”
Luo Feng truly felt like a country bumpkin entering a grand city for the first time. There was too much to see.
“Planetary Level 6, Planetary Level 9, Stellar Level 3, Planetary Level 1, Stellar Level 5…”
With Babata’s help, Luo Feng could assess many people’s strength.
Among the endless crowds on Qiu Long Star, almost everyone was at the Planetary Level, and there were quite a few Stellar Level individuals as well.
Any one of them, thrown onto Earth, would be an existence beyond a Wargod.
Looking around casually, he could easily find people stronger than Earth’s three strongest individuals, Hong, Luo Feng, and Thunder God.
“Luo Feng, I’ve already contacted the planetary service number. The administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on this planet is a little over two hundred kilometres away.” Babata said. “According to our plan, the first thing we do upon arriving on Qiu Long Star is join the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and obtain citizenship.”
“Let’s go.”
Luo Feng immediately rose into the air and flew at an altitude of about one hundred metres, where most aerial travellers flew.
…
“I’ve seen plenty of Stellar Level 7, 8, and 9 experts. Why haven’t I seen a single Universe Level expert?” Luo Feng asked inwardly.
“Stellar Level experts are already considered important figures. On ordinary planets they are rare, but on a planet like Qiu Long Star they’re quite common. As for Universe Level experts, how many does the entire Silver Blue Empire have? There are Universe Level experts here, of course, but whether you encounter one depends on luck.”
As they spoke.
Luo Feng saw a gigantic building ahead, a sculpture of a black dragon coiled around a mountain.
This was the administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiu Long Star.
At the entrance stood two guards nearly six metres tall with bronze coloured skin.
“Hm? Liquid Silver Guards!”
“They really are Liquid Silver Guards.”
The two giant guards immediately stood straighter and smiled warmly.
As Luo Feng approached, they even pushed the door open for him.
“Please come in, sir.”
“As Babata said, status, power, and position are highly valued throughout the universe.”
Luo Feng smiled and entered the hall. Behind him followed two Liquid Silver Guards dressed in black.
After glancing at the directory listing the functions of each floor, Luo Feng quickly found the one he needed.
“Thirty second floor.”
He sat down on a circular sofa nearby. The Liquid Silver Guards stood beside him.
“Thirty two.”
Beep!
A white glow emerged from the platform beneath the sofa.
Whoosh!
It shot upward without the slightest vibration.
When it stopped, he had already arrived on the thirty second floor.
“Hello, sir.”
A beautiful woman with rabbit ears, as graceful as an elf from mythology, flew over. She bowed slightly and smiled.
“How may I assist you?”
“I would like to obtain citizenship in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.” Luo Feng smiled.
In the universe, having citizenship was extremely useful for handling many matters.
Fortunately, Babata had guided him. Otherwise, things would not have gone nearly as smoothly.
If Hong or Thunder God had arrived on a foreign planet alone, they would probably have had no idea what to do.
“Citizenship?” The receptionist looked surprised.
These days, who didn’t already have a nationality?
