“Two castles?”
The Director and the others swallowed hard. It really was on a completely different level. The richest people on Bilan Planet could at most build their own castles. But purchasing such luxurious, detachable mobile castles clearly cost far more.
“You can choose any castle style, and any interior decoration. As for the castle itself, the price also varies depending on the materials used,” the fair skinned young man explained.
Luo Feng quickly made his selections according to the projection. In only a short while, the style, interior decoration, and construction materials of the castles had all been decided.
“Each castle costs 1.2 billion Silverblue Dollars, making a total of 2.4 billion Silverblue Dollars. If you pay with Black Dragon Coins, you can receive a twenty percent discount, making it 1.92 million Black Dragon Coins.”
The fair skinned young man’s voice trembled slightly.
It was an enormous sum of money.
2.4 billion Silverblue Dollars was worth more than the entire warehouse base.
“Alright.” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
The materials used for these two villas were comparable to those of a Grade B battleship. Several important rooms, especially the master bedrooms, even contained Grade C alloy materials. They were top level custom designs intended for distinguished guests.
After the people from the Commercial Bureau left, Luo Feng returned to the Black Dragon spacecraft.
The residential area within the warehouse base was cold and run down, nowhere near as comfortable as the spacecraft.
“Babata, enter the Virtual Universe.”
Luo Feng sat in the comfortable lounge of the Black Dragon spacecraft.
…
Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island under the jurisdiction of Qianwu Continent.
Luo Feng sat alone in a corner of a bar, communicating with Babata through his thoughts.
“Babata, start placing orders and purchase metals,” Luo Feng instructed.
“Which combination do you want?” Babata immediately asked.
“With both the Green Wave Marrow and Muya Crystal assisting me, I believe that within at most six months my physical condition will reach the seventh level of the Planetary Stage, while my spiritual power will reach the first level of the Stellar Stage. At that point I can access the bank account my teacher left for me. Therefore, purchase six months’ worth of metals, but keep the cost under 10 billion Black Dragon Coins.”
The Golden Horned Beast’s metal consumption was his greatest expense.
It was only at the Stellar Stage now, yet the most expensive and highest quality metal combination already cost over 60 billion Black Dragon Coins per year.
The expenditure required for cultivating The World of the True Body would be even more terrifying. Luo Feng did not even dare think about it.
“Alright.”
Babata immediately began searching.
“Luo Feng, I’ve confirmed two metal combinations. One costs 6.28 billion Black Dragon Coins for six months of consumption and increases evolution speed by thirty nine times. The other costs 10.22 billion Black Dragon Coins and increases evolution speed by fifty one times. The second option exceeds 10 billion slightly. Which one do you choose?”
“The second one,” Luo Feng replied without hesitation.
“Alright, I’ll place the order. Shall I have them deliver it to Bilan Planet?”
“Yes, Bilan Planet.”
His own affairs were quickly settled.
Back when he sold the third level spirit weapon Arc Blade Disc, he received 18 billion Black Dragon Coins. Purchasing slave servants cost 5 billion Black Dragon Coins. Buying Green Wave Marrow cost over 200 million. Compared to those expenses, the castles and warehouse base were insignificant. After purchasing all the metals, his remaining funds were about 2.5 billion Black Dragon Coins.
“Babata, buy Purple Light Dew,” Luo Feng said.
“Are you really buying it?” Babata could not help asking.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The universe contained many treasures beneficial to physical evolution.
The better the effect, the more astonishing the price.
For example, the Green Wave Marrow Luo Feng had purchased earlier was effective even for Planetary Stage experts. One gram cost 9,000 dollars.
As for items highly effective on apprentice level warriors, similar to Earth’s spirits of plants and trees, their prices were only about one thousandth of Green Wave Marrow.
The Purple Light Dew Luo Feng wanted to purchase was very cheap. It was a beverage commonly consumed by wealthy families. Transactions were measured by the kilogram.
One kilogram of Purple Light Dew cost 10 Black Dragon Coins.
“Babata, are you certain? Fifteen millilitres of Purple Light Dew can turn an advanced trainee from Earth into a First Level Apprentice?” Luo Feng asked again.
“Don’t worry, absolutely no problem. You’re buying it for those advanced trainees. They haven’t even reached the First Level Apprentice yet. Anything better would be beyond what they could absorb. For physiques at their level, fifteen millilitres of Purple Light Dew will definitely produce miraculous results,” Babata said. “You haven’t earned any money from Earth yet, but you’re already spending so much on them.”
“Buy it. Buy… one hundred thousand tonnes of Purple Light Dew.”
“So much? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Purple Light Dew was less dense than water. Fifteen millilitres weighed roughly ten grams.
One kilogram of Purple Light Dew could turn one hundred advanced martial arts trainees into warriors.
One tonne could create one hundred thousand warriors.
One hundred thousand tonnes was enough to turn ten billion people into warriors.
“If only I become strong, humanity on Earth cannot truly rise. Everyone must become strong.”
“But all I can do is give them a push. The real effort must come from countless people of Earth.”
Luo Feng thought silently.
The number of warriors on Earth was extremely small.
The ratio between ordinary people and warriors was almost ten thousand to one, meaning there were only about one million warriors on the entire planet.
Advanced trainees, however, were far more numerous.
Although a secondary school might only have three advanced trainees, giving a ratio close to one thousand to one, most martial arts hall advanced trainees were over twenty years old.
On Earth, the ratio between ordinary people and advanced martial arts trainees was roughly one hundred to one. This was despite many people giving up because they felt they had no hope.
“One hundred to one. I want every advanced martial arts trainee to become a warrior. That would give Earth’s seven billion people seventy million warriors.”
“Once people realise that reaching advanced trainee level guarantees becoming a warrior, they will work even harder.”
“Perhaps the ratio will improve further. Maybe one in fifty people will reach advanced trainee level.”
Luo Feng looked forward to that future.
Once the number of warriors on Earth exceeded one hundred million, the consequences would be extraordinary.
Warriors could absorb cosmic energy and continue evolving.
Such an enormous population undergoing evolution would greatly improve the genetic quality of all humanity.
Perhaps twenty years later there would be even more warriors, and after several hundred years, everyone on Earth might be a warrior.
Upon reaching adulthood, one would already be a First Level Apprentice warrior.
That was the first step in humanity’s evolution as Luo Feng imagined it.
…
“The purchase has been completed.”
“For the one hundred thousand tonnes of Purple Light Dew, because of the large quantity, I found the merchant offering the lowest discount. Twenty percent off. The total cost is 800 million Black Dragon Coins,” Babata said.
“Good.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
One hundred thousand tonnes could be used by ten billion advanced martial arts trainees.
Earth’s population had not even reached seven billion yet, so this amount would last for a very long time.
That very evening, a transport ship arrived directly at Bilan Planet.
It delivered all the components for the two mobile castles according to Luo Feng’s requirements.
Only one castle was assembled, while the other remained in component form.
In roughly twenty minutes, a nine storey castle measuring one kilometre in length and width was completed.
…
On Luo Feng’s second day on Bilan Planet, the first merchant’s shipment of metals arrived.
Luo Feng had divided his metal purchases among three merchants.
…
On the third day, the one hundred thousand tonnes of Purple Light Dew arrived.
…
Some metals were expensive, rare, and transported from great distances.
Not until the sixth day did all the metals finally arrive.
During this period, Luo Feng also took the opportunity to sell the 9.28 billion tonnes of black iron he had mined on Mars.
He sold the majority, nine billion tonnes.
One tonne of black iron sold for 0.0032 Black Dragon Coins, or four Silverblue Dollars.
Although it was worth several hundred billion Silverblue Dollars, Luo Feng ultimately received only a little over twenty million Black Dragon Coins.
Had he not sold the Arc Blade Disc, the harvest from Mars would indeed have been considered a substantial fortune.
After all, ten First Level Stellar Stage warrior slaves cost only ten million Black Dragon Coins.
On Luo Feng’s seventh day on Bilan Planet:
“From now on, you will be stationed here. If anything happens, contact me through the Virtual Universe network,” Luo Feng said.
“Yes, Master!”
One First Level Stellar Stage warrior and one hundred Ninth Level Planetary Stage spirit readers responded in unison.
From that moment onward, they became the garrison force of Luo Feng’s second base.
Luo Feng turned and ordered:
“Depart!”
Leading fifteen Stellar Stage subordinates and nine hundred Ninth Level Planetary Stage warriors, he swiftly boarded the Black Dragon spacecraft.
As for the vast quantities of metal and the unassembled mobile castle, they were all stored within Babata’s storage space.
…
The Black Dragon spacecraft left Bilan Planet and entered cosmic travel towards Earth.
Eight hours later:
“What’s happening? Why is the spacecraft circling around?”
Luo Feng asked from the control room.
Babata’s face appeared on the screen.
“We’ve already reached the dark universe region corresponding to Earth. However, your teacher concealed the coordinates using a spatial secret technique. I must follow the exact route without the slightest mistake and circle around for about five minutes before discovering the true cosmic coordinates.”
Luo Feng nodded.
A spatial secret technique?
That was far beyond him.
Even among the secret techniques of the Yunmo Planet lineage he had learned so far, none involved spatial techniques.
Clearly, it was not something he could study at his current level.
…
Five minutes later.
Within the vast starry sky of the Solar System, space suddenly rippled strangely.
A black saucer shaped spacecraft appeared out of nowhere.
The cosmic voyage had succeeded.
“I’m back!”
Looking at the blue planet in the distant starry sky, Luo Feng could not suppress his excitement.
Only after leaving Earth could he truly understand what his home world meant to him.
That blue planet was his root.
“Earth, I’ve returned.”
Luo Feng’s expression was filled with emotion.
“Babata, let’s go back to Earth,” Luo Feng called.
“Yes!” Babata shouted loudly.
The black spacecraft accelerated through the endless cosmos and sped towards the blue planet.
Earth, Huaxia Nation, Kyoto Base City.
It was deep into the night.
A middle aged man wearing the rank of General sat comfortably on his sofa, watching television with his family.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
“Hm?”
The General looked at the screen and was immediately startled.
It was Luo Feng.
He was the person specifically assigned by Huaxia Nation to maintain contact with Luo Feng.
“Hello, Mr Luo Feng.”
The General answered the call and quickly walked into a nearby room.
“General Wang, I hope you can provide me with a plot of land in Yangzhou City measuring more than one kilometre in both length and width,” Luo Feng said over the phone.
“No problem. I’ll give you an answer within half an hour.”
The General did not hesitate at all.
“Thank you. Also, at nine o’clock in the morning, Huaxia time, three days from now, I will gather the senior leaders of every nation and every base city on Earth in Yangzhou. We will hold an important conference concerning the future evolution of all humanity on Earth.”
The General was stunned.
Luo Feng asking for land did not concern him.
A square kilometre was nothing to a nation. Even a large corporate headquarters could occupy such an area.
In Huaxia alone, families such as the Xu Family, the family of Luo Feng’s father in law, possessed estates of that size.
But…
A conference?
Attended by the senior leaders of every nation and every base city?
“What is Luo Feng planning? Why organise such a massive summit?”
Although puzzled, the General dared not ask too many questions.
In the eyes of all nations, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were Earth’s three supreme experts, inseparable like brothers.
“Understood. I will definitely inform the leadership,” the General said.
“Good.”
Luo Feng ended the call.
At that moment, he had only just entered Earth’s atmosphere and had not even gone home before making the call.
