Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God exchanged glances.
“Lord Ming Yu, I would like to ask something.” Hong looked at the muscular man in front of him. “If we join the Virtual Universe Company, what do we need to do? What obligations do we have?”
“In the early stages, your strength is weak, so the company will be cultivating you. Therefore, management will be very strict. You must obey the company’s arrangements, undergo training, and participate in life and death trials. However, as your strength increases, your authority will continuously expand. Universe level, Domain Lord, World Lord, the stronger you become, the greater your freedom. You will only need to do some things at critical moments.” Ming Yu said directly.
Luo Feng and the other two hesitated.
Being strictly managed?
Hong and Thunder God had both established their own martial arts schools. How could they accept being strictly controlled by others?
“If our strength is weak and we are in the cultivation period, does that mean we cannot act freely?” Hong asked.
Luo Feng and Thunder God also looked at the muscular man.
“There are holidays, scheduled holidays.” The muscular man said seriously. “During the cultivation period when your strength is weak, management is extremely strict. You must understand this. As for holidays, you can meet and chat with your family and friends through the Virtual Universe Network. In reality, holidays do not have much meaning.”
Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng looked at each other and shook their heads.
They could not accept it!
The cultivation period?
Perhaps all Stellar level experts were considered to be in the “cultivation period” by the Virtual Universe Company. Being strictly managed for hundreds of years or even longer was something Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God could not accept.
“Hmm?” External Steward Ming Yu slightly frowned and sighed inwardly.
They could not stand strict management.
He had encountered this situation many times. As an external steward, he often invited talented individuals to join the Virtual Universe Company.
However, since they were geniuses, they had already been recruited by various forces from an early stage. Most geniuses were arrogant and unwilling to accept long term strict management, so many rejected the offer.
However…
When the Virtual Universe Company cultivated important internal members, they had to go through strict management, restrictions, and other processes.
“We cannot accept it.” Hong said.
“Oh, of course…” Ming Yu smiled. “What I just mentioned was for ‘internal members’. Our Virtual Universe Company is divided into internal and external members. Internal members receive many benefits, but the management is stricter. External members… have much more freedom, but the benefits are greatly reduced. They are far inferior to internal members.”
“For example, I am an external steward.” Ming Yu smiled. “If you become external members, although you cannot receive evolution agents for free, you can still spend money to purchase ‘evolution agents’. The first purchase can enjoy a lower price. The second purchase will be much more expensive. An ordinary external member can purchase at most three.”
“How much does it cost?” Luo Feng immediately asked.
“For a bloodline evolution agent, the first one costs 100 million Ganwu coins. The second one requires the high price of 1 billion Ganwu coins.” Ming Yu said. “Bloodline evolution agents are extremely rare outside. Only people with extraordinary means can obtain them, and the prices have been pushed to an extremely exaggerated level. At the same time, the Virtual Universe Company strictly prohibits you from selling evolution agents. If you are discovered secretly selling them…”
“Death.” Ming Yu casually said.
Luo Feng immediately abandoned the thought of selling them.
“These are some rules for becoming an external member of the Virtual Universe Company. Take a look and see whether you can accept them.” The muscular man Ming Yu pointed at the screen.
Large numbers of rules immediately appeared.
……
Five minutes later.
“Welcome to the Virtual Universe Company. Now you are external members of our Virtual Universe Company’s Black Dragon Mountain branch. You are temporarily under my management. If you have any matters, you can directly send me an email.” Ming Yu smiled.
“Yes, Lord Ming Yu.”
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God slightly bowed.
After leaving the Slaughter Arena, they returned to their residence, Nine Star Bay on Black Dragon Mountain Island.
“External members really have a lot of freedom.”
“They actually allow us to join ordinary organisations, and even allow us to join places like the Ganwu Dojo. It is unbelievable.” Thunder God walked along the pebble path beside the lake and sighed. “The only restriction is that we cannot join cross universe nation forces like the Giant Axe Battle Arena.”
The martial department of the Virtual Universe Company was divided into internal and external members.
Internal members were the most loyal and belonged to the most important part of the Virtual Universe Company. They were absolutely forbidden from joining other forces.
External members were much more relaxed.
For example, a World Lord from the Ganwu Dojo could accept an invitation and register as an external member of the Virtual Universe Company. Normally, there were few restrictions placed on external members. They only needed to avoid joining other super organisations of the same level.
“The Virtual Universe Company basically does not care about the Ganwu Dojo.” Luo Feng smiled.
“Haha, after joining the Virtual Universe Company, Luo Feng, I originally wanted you to borrow the influence of the Ganwu Dojo in the future. But if you can obtain a high enough status as an external member of the Virtual Universe Company, that would also be incredible.” Babata was extremely excited.
“Big brother, second brother, do you have enough money to buy those evolution agents?” Luo Feng asked.
“Enough.”
“We have plenty.” Hong and Thunder God both replied.
Luo Feng felt helpless.
The main problem was that his own funds were indeed tight now.
Because he was using large amounts of metal combinations with 89 times evolution efficiency, constantly devouring them to evolve his internal world. He believed that within less than a year, he would break through to the Universe level.
For a Universe level Golden Horned Beast, the required metal cost would increase by hundreds or thousands of times.
His money was simply not enough when calculated carefully.
“The teacher I had back then probably never imagined that his successor would possess a Golden Horned Beast body. The Golden Horned Beast really is a money consuming monster.” Luo Feng thought.
“Third brother, after speaking with the external steward, I decided to prepare to register with the Universe Mercenary Alliance.” Hong’s eyes shone. “Although I cannot undergo the ‘novice mercenary examination’ yet, I cannot endure waiting any longer.”
“Me too!” Thunder God licked his lips, his eyes showing a trace of wild excitement. “Dancing on the blade of life and death, that is the kind of life that has passion.”
“You two…” Luo Feng was startled.
“Third brother, are you coming?” Hong asked.
“Are we going together?” Thunder God also looked at Luo Feng.
How many martial artists on Earth were truly timid?
“Let’s go, of course we go together!” Luo Feng said.
“Haha…” Thunder God laughed loudly.
“Brother.” Hong also patted Luo Feng’s shoulder.
Looking at his two brothers whose hearts were already burning with excitement, Luo Feng silently thought:
“Adventure? Yes, I also want to go on adventures. The feeling of dancing on the blade of life and death really is wonderful.”
Back in the wilderness areas, fighting monsters in life and death battles had indeed kept him constantly tense.
“If big brother and second brother truly encounter a danger they cannot resist, I can release my Golden Horned Beast body and save them.” Luo Feng thought.
The existence of the Golden Horned Beast had to remain secret.
However, if they encountered a danger they could not resist, he would naturally release the Golden Horned Beast.
Slaughter Arena Hall.
An extremely ancient green skinned elder sat in a corner of the hall, holding a cup of water.
His wrinkled forehead lifted slightly, and his cloudy eyes occasionally looked around.
He was the overall person in charge of the Slaughter Arena on Black Dragon Mountain Island, Man Luo, a famous old man here.
At this moment, the muscular man Ming Yu quickly walked over and came directly in front of the green skinned elder.
“My lord.” Ming Yu lowered his voice.
“How was it?” The green skinned elder looked at him with cloudy eyes.
Ming Yu respectfully lowered his head.
“My lord guessed correctly. The three of them were unwilling to join internally. They only joined externally. Also, that Hong is indeed extraordinary. Ninth rank Planet level, Domain Level Three.”
“Domain Level Three?” The green skinned elder’s eyes lit up.
His previously cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely clear, as if containing endless wisdom and able to see through people’s hearts.
Before this elder, Ming Yu, a Two Star Universe Mercenary, was extremely respectful. This respect came purely from the depths of his heart.
“Yes, very good.”
The green skinned elder smiled and nodded. His eyes became cloudy again.
“Being able to discover a first level elite is already quite good. After all, special grade elites are encounters that cannot be forced. Talents like this cannot be forced. Being able to join externally is already not bad. Let them develop on their own.”
“Yes.” Ming Yu respectfully replied.
The so called testing of Luo Feng and the other two, and the so called observation for a month, were all instructions given by this Lord Man Luo.
Ming Yu himself would never have casually spent a month observing Luo Feng and the others.
Earth.
Spring had arrived, and flowers were blooming.
In Yangzhou City of Huaxia Country, a C9 class deep blue triangular spaceship floated above the castle.
This was a spaceship Luo Feng and the others had just purchased. It had cost 11 billion Black Dragon coins. For Luo Feng and the others at their current level, this was not a large amount.
After all, Luo Feng had spent several dozen times more money on the planetary defence system.
“Don’t cry. Daddy is only going out for a while. We can still meet in the Virtual Universe. Come here, give Daddy a kiss.”
Luo Feng squatted in front of his two sons.
The two boys, who now looked cute and handsome, kissed Luo Feng’s face several times and hugged him tightly, seeming very reluctant to let go.
“Son.”
Luo Hongguo patted Luo Feng’s shoulder.
“I will not say much. Be careful and stay safe outside.”
“Alright. By the way, where is Luo Hua?” Luo Feng looked around.
Zhen Nan, who had come to see him off, quickly said:
“Luo Hua has been extremely busy with financial investments these past few days. It is a critical trading period, so he cannot relax at all. He asked me to tell you that he will apologise to you later and talk with you in the Virtual Universe.”
“That kid.” Luo Feng shook his head and laughed.
Luo Feng said goodbye to his family. Nearby, Hong’s family and Thunder God’s family were also seeing them off.
Afterwards, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God brought two servants and boarded the spaceship.
“Whoosh!”
The deep blue triangular spaceship slowly rose into the sky.
Under the gazes of their three families, it quickly flew into the atmosphere and disappeared from their sight.
