“Alright, I am just living a moderately comfortable life.” Luo Feng smiled and continued looking at the screen.
Including the email he had already read, there were a total of seven emails on the screen. The first five emails were all from the “Universe Galaxy Bank”, the sixth email was from the “Virtual Universe Company”, and the seventh email was from the “Giant Axe Battle Arena”.
“Beep.”
Luo Feng lightly tapped the screen with his finger and opened the second email.
“Respected customer, greetings.
Do you often place large amounts of funds in your account and withdraw cash whenever you need it? I must remind you that this is an extremely inefficient way of managing funds. As long as you entrust your funds to us for operation, you will receive continuous returns. We first guarantee that there will absolutely be no losses!
As for the annual return rate, it depends on the market conditions. The annual return rate varies, and historically, we have once allowed users to obtain returns exceeding 100%.
Yes!
As long as you entrust 10 trillion Universe Coins to us, after one year, it could very likely become 20 trillion Universe Coins! Even in the worst-case scenario, we can guarantee that there will be no losses!
Below are some randomly selected achievements from our investment department.
…”
Luo Feng smiled helplessly and reached out to open the third email.
“Respected customer, greetings.
Our team possesses the most advanced experience in managing planets in the universe. Do you own a large number of planetary territories, but your planetary territories cannot bring you sufficient profits? As long as you entrust your planets to us for management, we will cultivate the most elite warriors and the most loyal warriors for you. At the same time, the profit efficiency of each planet will be greatly increased.
Furthermore, we can establish religions for you, or build powerful and stable families.
Religious model, family model, dynasty model, academy model…
You can choose any management model, and we will manage your planetary territories for you.
…”
Luo Feng read through the first five emails in one go.
“The second email is from an investment department under the Universe Galaxy Bank. They want me to hand over my money to them for financial investment!”
“The third email is offering services for me. It says that if I spend money, they will manage my planetary territories, helping me cultivate extremely loyal subordinates. They even provide different cultivation models such as religious style and family style.”
“The fourth email is also asking me to invest money, but the investment returns are higher and the risks are greater.”
“The fifth email is specifically for allowing me to enjoy myself, providing various services!”
Luo Feng shook his head. Among the first five emails, two were about helping with financial investments. One guaranteed no losses, while the other had uncertain risks and returns. According to what he had previously learned from his younger brother, the world of cosmic financial investment was extremely dark. The investment departments under the two super banks absorbed money from ordinary investors, forming enormous funds to manipulate the market.
They usually used ordinary investors’ money to support their own private accounts.
“Babata, look at the sixth and seventh emails. They are very important.” Babata’s voice sounded.
“Oh?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Very important?”
The sixth email was from the Virtual Universe Company.
Luo Feng reached out and opened the sixth email.
“Hello.
From the moment you became a three-star customer, you have gained the qualifications to enter the ‘Dry Witch Auction’. In the universe, many precious items belong to extremely rare levels, and many items are difficult to purchase even with money. The auction held by our Virtual Universe Company provides an opportunity for customers to purchase many precious items.
The Dry Witch Auction is held once every three years.
The minimum requirement to participate in the auction is to be a three-star customer of either the First Universe Bank or the Universe Galaxy Bank.
The next Dry Witch Auction will be held two years from now. For detailed information about the auction, please see the attachment of this email.
Virtual Universe Company”
Luo Feng looked seriously at the screen in front of him. The requirements for this Dry Witch Auction were extremely high. The minimum requirement to participate was actually being a three-star customer of one of the two super banks. Three-star customers were generally World Lord powerhouses, as well as some extremely wealthy individuals backed by super forces.
An auction attended by a group of World Lords…
“At this Dry Witch Auction, many incredibly precious treasures will appear, such as life fruits, some precious fifth-order weapons that only powerful Immortals can create, and many other extremely rare weapons. For a powerhouse, this auction is extremely important.” Babata reminded him. “Only through this auction can you purchase many treasures.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Of course, this auction is only a ‘primary auction’.”
“The auctions held by the Virtual Universe Company are divided into ‘primary auctions’, ‘intermediate auctions’, and ‘advanced auctions’.”
“For a primary auction, the minimum requirement is a three-star customer. Generally, three-star customers are World Lord powerhouses.”
“For an intermediate auction, the minimum requirement is a four-star customer. Generally, four-star customers are Immortal existences. Therefore, intermediate auctions are auctions attended by ordinary Immortals. The treasures auctioned there, each one of them, would probably cost more than your entire fortune.”
“For an advanced auction, the minimum requirement is a five-star customer. These auctions… are attended by supreme figures from various organisations and forces. They may also include the leaders of Universe Nations such as the Dry Witch Universe Nation, or extremely powerful independent Immortals. The items auctioned at advanced auctions are frighteningly expensive. However, preparing an advanced auction takes many years, and the items there are usually obtained by Immortal existences risking their lives. Some treasures cannot even be obtained despite risking everything, such as your teacher…”
Luo Feng froze.
His teacher, the master of the Meteor Ink Star, seemed to have died because of a certain treasure.
“A three-star customer is extremely impressive in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Field.”
“But in the entire universe, it is only average. Furthermore, auctions are limited to your own region. You can only participate in the Dry Witch Auction and do not have the qualifications to participate in auctions held by other Universe Nations.” Babata said.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
The standards of these auctions were extremely high. Those without sufficient status probably had never even heard of them. Even the minimum requirement for the “primary auction” was a three-star customer.
“The next Dry Witch Auction is in two years and one month.” Luo Feng looked forward to it. He definitely had to participate in such an auction.
Sitting in his study, Luo Feng finished reading the information about the auction in the attachment and became even more eager. There would indeed be many incredibly rare items at this auction.
“The final email is from the Giant Axe Battle Arena?” Luo Feng curiously opened it.
This email was a notification granting him a membership.
At the same time he became a three-star customer, he automatically became a “bronze-level member” of the Giant Axe Battle Arena, allowing him to watch the decisive battle broadcasts of the Giant Axe Battle Arena.
“The Giant Axe Battle Arena? Is a membership really important?” Luo Feng asked doubtfully.
“The membership itself is not important, but the ‘decisive battle broadcasts’ of the Giant Axe Battle Arena are extremely important.” The fist-sized little demon on Luo Feng’s shoulder said seriously. “Every battle held by the Giant Axe Battle Arena is a fight to the death! At least one side must die before the battle ends. Therefore, these battles are extremely valuable to watch. They are also very beneficial for cultivation insights.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng nodded.
The membership email also contained an attachment. The attachment listed recent battle schedules, and Luo Feng casually opened it.
“The list of death battles from the past seven days?”
“A total of 6,201 battles?” Luo Feng widened his eyes. “There are 6,118 Universe Grade death battles, 82 Domain Lord Grade death battles, and one World Lord Grade death battle.”
Luo Feng sucked in a cold breath.
In just seven days, there had been so many battles between powerful beings? There was even a World Lord death battle?
“Don’t find it strange. The Giant Axe Battle Arena exists throughout every Universe Nation! A single Universe Nation is already unimaginably vast. With all the Universe Nations combined, having this many death battles in seven days is completely normal.” Babata explained. “Look, among these 6,201 death battles, only three belong to the Dry Witch Universe Nation!”
In the attachment list, the 6,118 Universe Grade death battles were arranged according to popularity.
The most popular death battle involved two Universe Grade sixth-level fighters.
“Universe Grade sixth-level, and so many people are paying attention?” Luo Feng curiously opened the battle details.
The two combatants came from the “Desolate Peak Universe Nation”.
One side was named “Gaich”, a member of the Luxiu race.
The other side was named “Harks”, a slave merchant’s servant.
Gaich was born on Luxiu Planet. Luxiu Planet had an extremely harsh living environment. Monsters ran rampant across the planet, and many weak Luxiu people were killed by monsters. Only the strong could survive. The talented Luxiu warrior Gaich quickly rose from Luxiu Planet, reaching Planetary Grade and then Stellar Grade, attracting the attention of the planet lord. Gaich became an elite soldier under the planet lord.
Gaich continued working hard, and his status grew higher and higher. Later, the planet lord gifted Luxiu Planet to Gaich.
Gaich became the lord of Luxiu Planet and became the hero of the Luxiu race.
However, later, the planet lord provoked a powerful enemy and was attacked. Many planets under that lord’s control, including Luxiu Planet, were plundered. Many Luxiu people were captured and sold as slaves.
After Gaich cultivated to Universe Grade, he directly sold himself to the Giant Axe Battle Arena. The Giant Axe Battle Arena stepped in and bought Luxiu Planet back from that powerful figure. Gaich then needed to complete 1,000 battles in the Giant Axe Battle Arena. If he survived, his freedom would be restored.
…
Harks lived on an ordinary planet and lived the life of an ordinary person.
However, many young people on that planet, including Harks when he was young, were captured by a slave merchant group. After capturing many slaves, the slave merchants began carrying out hell-like training. Some failed and discarded products were sold as slaves, while some elites continued their training. Harks was one of those elites.
He became Stellar Grade and eventually broke through to Universe Grade.
However, because a control chip had been implanted inside him, Harks was only a servant. Later, because his combat power was truly impressive, selling him simply as a Universe Grade slave was not worthwhile. Therefore, the slave merchant signed a contract with him. As long as Harks could survive 1,000 death battles in the Giant Axe Battle Arena, his freedom would be restored.
Because in the Giant Axe Battle Arena, the longer one survived, the more astonishing the appearance fees became. This was far more profitable than selling slaves.
The slave merchants understood that only by making a slave truly desire and willingly fight could they unleash their strongest combat power in death battles. Therefore, they gave Harks a contract that would restore his freedom after completing 1,000 battles.
…
Gaich, 691 victories!
Harks, 821 victories!
Both were Universe Grade sixth-level fighters!
This battle was the most watched battle among the more than 6,000 Universe Grade death battles held by the Giant Axe Battle Arena across the universe in the past seven days.
