Planet Biyan’s Empire Administrative Office was considered a remote corner within the vast territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Buying a planet?
They really had not encountered such a case even once in many years.
“Three guests, please follow me upstairs.” A lean Imperial official immediately said.
“Alright.”
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God followed him and soon arrived at the 34th floor of the Empire Administrative Office.
“Mr Luo?” The Imperial official looked at Luo Feng. “Are you certain you want to purchase this planet, the one named ‘Earth’ in the information you provided?”
“Confirmed!”
Luo Feng frowned slightly. “It should be possible to buy it, right?”
“Mr Luo, as the first person to discover this ownerless planet and provide the information, you naturally possess the first purchasing rights.” The Imperial official said seriously. “However, I must remind you, Mr Luo… after we sent the data of this planet to the Imperial headquarters just now, their reply was… once everything is confirmed to be correct, you will receive a reward of 100 billion Black Dragon Coins. Do you understand the meaning of this reward?”
“The meaning of the reward?” Luo Feng was startled.
Suddenly, Luo Feng remembered something Babata had told him before.
“Discovering an ownerless planet, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will provide a reward ranging from a minimum of 10 billion Black Dragon Coins to a maximum of 100 billion Black Dragon Coins depending on the planet.”
“This is the highest reward?” Luo Feng understood.
“Yes!”
The Imperial official nodded. “Although the large amount of data you provided is still waiting for confirmation, the coordinates of that planet alone have already caused the Imperial headquarters to determine that the planet belongs to the highest-grade category of life planets! The discoverer receives the highest reward! If you want to purchase this planet, you must also pay the highest price!”
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looked at each other.
How much would it cost to purchase Earth? Luo Feng and his two brothers had discussed this before.
According to Imperial law.
A direct purchase required a payment ranging from a minimum of 300 billion to a maximum of 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins! This was a preferential policy given to the “discoverer of an ownerless planet”. If it was a normal planet auction, there would definitely be no upper price limit.
“Are you saying that Earth is the highest-grade type of life planet?” Luo Feng could not help asking.
“Yes! That is the reply from the Imperial headquarters.” The official nodded.
“Sure enough!” Thunder God curled his lips.
Luo Feng and Hong were helpless.
Babata had already guessed before that a life planet once ruled by an undying existence would very likely be classified as the highest-grade planet.
“It requires 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins, right?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Yes.” The official nodded.
“I will buy it.” Luo Feng answered without hesitation.
In Luo Feng’s heart, Earth was priceless. No matter how much he had to spend, he was willing.
“I apologise.” The official said apologetically. “If Mr Luo wishes to purchase Earth, you must first submit an application. Secondly… the large amount of data you provided must be reviewed by the various departments of the Imperial headquarters. Only after confirming its authenticity can we officially complete the transaction with you.”
“Damn, it is just like Earth, everything needs to go through procedures.” Thunder God muttered in Chinese.
“How long will it take?” Luo Feng could not help asking.
“I am only a small official on a remote planet. I cannot guarantee how long the various departments at headquarters will take to review it. I can only tell Mr Luo that the Imperial law states… the slowest is 30 days! The fastest is uncertain. If you were a member of a major Imperial family, perhaps it could be completed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.” The official smiled slightly.
Luo Feng’s expression changed!
Hong and Thunder God’s expressions also became ugly!
“30 days?” Luo Feng became anxious.
The Nuolan Shan family had already arrived at Earth. They would definitely also collect data and samples on Earth, and they also had interstellar coordinate flight records. They could immediately travel through space and reach Planet Biyan. In terms of speed, the Nuolan Shan family had a powerful background, and the efficiency of the Imperial Administrative Office would likely be much higher for them!
Before the purchase procedure was completed, Luo Feng could not feel at ease. Who knew what unexpected problems might occur?
“It absolutely cannot take 30 days.” Thunder God whispered. “I can see it. Handling matters here is just like on Earth. If they slowly drag it out, something unexpected might happen! We must finish this as quickly as possible.”
“Even if nothing goes wrong, 30 days? Who knows what Earth will become by then.” Hong frowned.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Suddenly, he looked at the official in front of him, stood up, and walked directly towards him.
“Mr Luo, what are you doing?” The lean official panicked.
Smack! Smack!
Luo Feng placed both hands on the table in front of him, leaned forward, and stared at the official.
“I want this completed as quickly as possible!”
“I apologise.” The official shook his head apologetically. “I am only a small official from a remote planet.”
“Complete it within seven days, and I will give you 10 million Black Dragon Coins!” Luo Feng stared at him, his voice low, raising one finger. “Complete it within three days, and I will give you 100 million Black Dragon Coins!”
The official’s eyes almost popped out. His entire body became somewhat confused.
The salary of Imperial officials was indeed very high.
But even if he worked his entire life, he could never possess 100 million Black Dragon Coins.
That was the wealth of the richest person on an ordinary planet!
100 million Black Dragon Coins would be enough for him to hire a Stellar Level bodyguard, buy a large group of beautiful servants, have countless relatives and friends flatter him, and live a luxurious and comfortable life forever.
“Hu, hu…” The official’s breathing became disordered.
“Complete it within one day, and I will give you 500 million Black Dragon Coins!” Luo Feng’s gaze became sharp as he spread out five fingers. “Complete it within one hour, and I will give you 1 billion Black Dragon Coins!”
The official’s eyes widened, and he struggled to swallow.
Heavens!
Even a fortune falling from the sky would not be this large!
“Mr Luo!” The official breathed heavily, his eyes slightly red. “The previous example of finishing it in the time it takes to drink tea would only happen if major figures from Imperial families spoke up and the highest levels of the Empire directly issued orders! Because many departments are involved. I cannot guarantee one hour, but I have absolute confidence in completing it within one day!”
The official’s neck became thick with excitement!
Luo Feng smiled.
One day with absolute confidence? Previously he had said the slowest was 30 days and the fastest was uncertain. He was just a small official and claimed he had no way.
The power of money was indeed obvious in the universe.
“However, I need money to clear the way first.” The official’s eyes shone brightly as he quickly said, “Because purchasing a planet requires approval from 12 departments. I must establish connections with every department! Under normal procedures, it would usually take more than 15 days. I know people in those departments!”
“Rest assured!”
“If you invite powerful figures to intervene from above, it may not even be faster than me, because I am an insider.”
“Please give me 100 million first, and I will immediately begin.” The official said. “For someone like Mr Luo, killing me would be as easy as crushing an ant, so I absolutely would not dare to take your money and do nothing.”
“Very good.”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “I will give you 200 million first. After it is completed, I will give you another 300 million.”
Since he was willing to spend 3 trillion Black Dragon Coins to purchase Earth, why would he care about 500 million Black Dragon Coins? It was only a tiny amount.
Luo Feng understood very clearly. Every profession had its own methods. Letting an official familiar with the system handle things would probably be faster than asking Gao Sheng for help. Furthermore, Gao Sheng was only a descendant of a major family and might not even know the important officials in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Gao Sheng would also need to ask others for help.
Luo Feng did not want to casually owe people favours. Human debts were difficult to repay.
……
Milky Way, Earth.
Huaxia Country, Hope Survival Base.
“I say, little sister, when exactly can your husband return? Also, when will those alien fleets leave?” Xu Gang sat on a chair, smoking one cigarette after another, looking extremely anxious.
There was no way he could not be anxious!
“Brother, you are anxious, but compared with ordinary people living outside, you are already much better off.” Xu Xin reprimanded him unhappily. “Right now, it is not only you. All the high-level officials around the world are waiting… waiting for Luo Feng, waiting for news from Hong and Thunder God. We cannot do anything. All we can do is stay patient and wait slowly!”
Xu Gang took a deep breath.
They could only wait!
Not only him, but everyone on Earth was hoping.
Facing a cosmic fleet…
All humans on Earth were like babies, without the slightest ability to resist. Countless people on Earth silently hoped and waited, hoping that their pride, the three peak experts of Earth, could fight for a chance of survival for them in the distant depths of the universe!
Yes, Luo Feng’s group of three were working hard for Earth on the distant Planet Biyan!
……
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
On Earth, above Asia, Europe, North America, and other continents, or above the oceans, human figures could often be seen flying past!
Within only half a day, the news that the alien cosmic fleet had arrived at Earth could no longer be concealed. Many ordinary citizens had already learned about it.
Look!
That person nearly three metres tall, with green skin and eyes as large as bowls, was clearly not an Earth human!
Countless “monster humans” occasionally flew over human cities.
The ordinary people of Earth were somewhat stunned.
……
The Nuolan Shan family fleet was currently proceeding according to their plan from four directions!
“Lord Prara, after communicating with Earth’s native monsters, we discovered a strange sea area! It is there… and this region is the famous ‘Bermuda Sea Area’ mentioned in many Earth books.” Three Stellar Level rank 8 spirit readers respectfully led the way. The handsome Prara also followed them.
Bermuda had an extremely famous reputation on Earth.
Many books on Earth had introduced it. The Nuolan Shan family fleet had scanned almost all books and information on Earth, so they naturally knew about Bermuda.
“Rumble~~”
The four of them rushed into the seawater.
They quickly descended!
“Lord Prara, look over there.” The three Stellar Level rank 8 spirit readers were all somewhat excited.
Prara carefully looked over.
In the distance, a huge white shadow could vaguely be seen. As they continued approaching, the blurry white shadow became clearer.
It was an enormous pyramid, far taller than any skyscraper on Earth! The pyramid itself had not the slightest trace of damage or decay.
There was not even any mud or seaweed attached to it.
It was as clean as new!
“Lord Prara, this silver-white pyramid is 1,200 metres high and is completely suspended in the seawater.” One of the slightly fat black-skinned spirit readers explained.
“A pyramid!”
Prara’s eyes lit up. He flew closer and, with trembling hands, carefully touched the surface of the pyramid.
Strangely enough…
The entire pyramid was silver-white. They could not even find a trace of a metal alloy connection. It was as if this 1,200-metre-tall silver-white pyramid had been perfectly poured as one complete piece.
“This, this, this…” Prara’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his body even began trembling. “This is…”
“A great treasure, a great treasure!” Prara’s eyes became bloodshot, his excitement reaching the extreme.
