Chapter 217 217: Too Many Gold Coins, Can't Spend Them All
37 million.
Returning the previous credit account, with a 3 million credit limit.
There's still 33 million left.
However.
The auction still has income from two Divine Weapons that hasn't been confirmed.
40 million.
The total energy stone assets have definitely surpassed 40 million.
This amount of wealth, even among Star Realm Peak powerhouses, is extremely rich.
After all.
Qin Mu annihilated a hundred Star Realms in one battle; even if their strength varied, that was still the wealth they had accumulated over tens of millions of years.
A horse without wild grass won't get fat, and a person without external wealth won't get rich.
Nothing earns money as fast as this!
Originally, the auction was in a deficit, making it impossible to buy anything.
Now it's good, with tens of millions in income, he can freely purchase resources.
Hmm.
"First, give me 20 million energy stones, and deposit the rest into the account."
Spending is definitely necessary.
But the energy stones at the bottom of the thunder dragon ship cannot be less.
As a Divine Rank spaceship.
Ample energy stones not only allow for super-long-distance teleportation but also enable powerful protective shields. If the energy stones are sufficiently abundant, its defensive strength can even be higher than Qin Mu's own attacks.
Moreover.
This is a defense that doesn't require a Cultivator's enhancement.
Who can guarantee they won't get injured while traveling the Universe?
If injured, one's combat power and defensive capabilities will inevitably be greatly reduced.
At this time, if there's a spaceship with high defense, fast speed, and the ability to Spatially Break to protect oneself, one could truly wake up smiling from a dream.... The transfer of energy stones was completed.
Qian Wu finally said, "The Metaverse auction is about to begin. As a benefit for this transaction, I have reserved a private room for you. We look forward to your presence."
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Mu nodded, suddenly remembering something: "Oh, by the way, I haven't seen the auction catalog yet. Do you directly sell Universe alien races?"
Alien races?
Qian Wu paused slightly: "Are you referring to alien slaves? Or are you looking for some rare species of alien races?"
What the hell?
I just want to find someone from the Cyber Race to replicate a Clone, what do you mean by being so professional?
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said directly, "I want both. Of course, rarer species would be better. This.... you understand, right?"
Oh!!
Qian Wu had an expression of understanding, beaming with smiles: "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand"
Saying that.
Qian Wu handed over a virtual business card.
"This is a slave dealer from the Qidala Empire; their reputation is quite good."
"Their family has specially trained Fox Race, Cat Race, etc., with top-tier figures and impeccable faces."
"The key is that the 'service' is exceptionally thorough and professional! If I had to describe it in two words, it would be 'professional'!"
"If you just mention you're a three-star bank customer, he will give you access to higher-end goods, such as rare three-tailed and six-tailed white foxes, which are very suitable for home travel and daily relaxation...."
What the hell!
What the hell are you talking about!?
Qin Mu suddenly felt confused: "Yao Race, right? Foxes? Cats? But if they haven't reached Star Domain Level, they can't transform, can they?"
Could it be.
That the Human Race in the Universe can ignore these things?
Is that how the term 'Pan-Human Race' came about?
"Ah"
Qian Wu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you've misunderstood. These Yao Race slaves are for entertainment, a type bred by those dealers themselves, and they don't have very high Cultivation."
"They are generally Star Rank, Galaxy Level."
"So when you play, you need to be a little careful, otherwise the consumption speed will be very fast"
"Well, as for legitimate Yao Race slaves, those at the Star Domain Realm who can transform are also very expensive. For simple amusement, there's actually no need...."
Alright!
You don't need to say anymore!!!
Qin Mu directly cut off the topic: "Okay, I'll go check it out myself then."
After Qian Wu left.
Ao Mengmeng then spoke: "Those cultivated Fox Race are essentially Human Race, just with a few more tails and two cat ears. They have no combat ability and aren't fun at all. I really don't know why they sell so well"
Pfft!
Qin Mu had barely managed to keep a straight face just now, but now he really couldn't hold it anymore.
"Whether it's fun or not isn't the point; the point is that Universe people are too good at playing."
"Cough cough!"
Qin Mu didn't have time to talk about these things: "He said this dealer probably doesn't trade in Cyber Clan, right?"
Ao Mengmeng: "Hard to say!"
"The Cyber Race is numerous, not a rare commodity. It's just that Qingxuan Realm is very far from cyber territory, so it's not easy to encounter them. It depends on luck."
Hmm.
Qingxuan Realm is Human Race territory.
Even if it borders the Cyber Clan, there are tens of millions of Star Realms separating them.
Even with various Star Gate teleports, such a terrifying journey, the transfer fees along the way would be considerable.
"Let's go, we also need to check out the defense System."
Qin Mu logged into the Metaverse.
He first opened the mall and had the smart system recommend a local dealer for Night Star.
The next second.
A beautiful woman in a black uniform and a mini-skirt appeared before him.
"Hello, Starry Night Trade. It's a pleasure to serve you. How can I help you?"
Qin Mu had already decided what to buy and directly stated: "I need two complete planetary defense Systems, a spaceport building of the same scale as Night Star, and some Metaverse login devices."
"Alright."
The uniform-clad beauty directly conjured a projection in the air:
"For the planetary defense System, I recommend the Alpha E Series."
"The complete set includes a fast-response radar covering one light year, an active defense radar with a diameter of ten light years, three thousand modified offensive armed small planets, and six thousand defensive small planet arrays."
"Cultivators below Galaxy Level will suffer heavy damage from this System. It has certain detection and interference capabilities against Star River Level."
"The entire set can be chosen for on-site modification or immediate delivery."
"Modification price: 4.2 million gold coins."
"Spot price: 12 million gold coins."
Damn!
So cheap
Only a few million gold coins?
Qin Mu directly said: "Do you have anything better?"
"I apologize! This is the best defense System our company can offer" the beauty replied with an apologetic look.
Ao Mengmeng glanced at Qin Mu.
"A planetary defense System isn't very useful. Even a decent C Series can only withstand some Star River Level, but the price starts at millions of energy stones."
"As for anything better, the Human Race can't buy it."
"Those are all Cyber Clan products, and the quality and volume of a planetary defense System are extremely large. The shipping cost alone could be more than a million energy stones."
"This level is useless to you, and anything better is unobtainable, so it's quite a bit of a waste."
"When you have money, buy some Advanced source stones, and I will teach you how to set up a Formation. That kind of defensive power is truly effective"
Hiss!
There's also a Formation that can be set up.
Qin Mu thought of the Formation in the Secret Realm, and he felt a bit envious.
Even a God King Level would need to bombard it for half a year; that thing is formidable!
But the price
It's also quite formidable!
The energy stones consumed alone would be an astronomical figure.
Forget it.
It's better to get something reliable.
For Dragon Star, a Galaxy Level defense System is very suitable, at least to deal with some wandering alien races, so that small-time thieves won't go unnoticed.
The key is that the price is cheap.
Over ten million gold coins, isn't this practically free?
"What about the spaceport, how much is it?"
"A complete Night Star spaceport, available for immediate sale, priced at 5 million gold coins." The beauty paused slightly: "Please note, this price does not include Star Gate construction. Building a Star Gate requires reporting to the Empire, then paying relevant fees, and being approved by the Empire for construction."
"No Star Gate needed, just package it at this price!"
Qin Mu made the decision directly.
The total was less than twenty million; this was practically free.
"And another two thousand Metaverse login devices."
These things aren't cheap, though.
Fifty thousand each.
Over a hundred million gold coins wouldn't buy many.
"Alright." The beauty calculated the price and replied: "The complete defense System is worth 12 million, the spaceport is worth 5 million, for a total of 17 million."
"Since you are making a large purchase, you will receive an 80% discount and a thousand years of free warranty maintenance."
"After everything is complete, it will be 13.6 million gold coins."
"As for the Metaverse login devices, two thousand will be given as a gift."
The beauty showed a sweet smile:
"I recommend that you choose some slaves as construction and engineering personnel. Up to ten thousand will be entirely free, and an additional thousand guard-type slaves, possessing Star Rank Nine combat power, will be included."
"Of course, for the same price, you can convert the guard-type slaves to service-type slaves. Our company also has the popular Fox Race and Cat Race slaves on the market."
What the hell.
Do Universe people have some special preference for these species, making them so popular?
However.
Guard-type slaves did remind him.
Defense Systems are expensive, but slaves seem very cheap instead.
Spending just a few gold coins gets them for free.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Speaking of free, Qin Mu remembered.
"You said the Metaverse login devices are free?"
"Yes!"
What's going on?
Qin Mu felt a chill.
Login devices worth fifty thousand gold coins each, and you're giving them away for free?
Are you that crazy?
Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?
Ao Mengmeng, seeing Qin Mu's shocked expression, quickly reminded him: "Don't give yourself away. The unregistered Advanced model we bought last time was very expensive."
"The most ordinary login device doesn't even cost one gold coin. If each cost tens of thousands of gold coins, then besides Star River Level, no one could afford it. How would the Metaverse be promoted?"
Damn!
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Qin Mu immediately waved his hand: "Give me 10 billion ordinary login devices, and 100 unregistered ones!"
"Ah? This...."
The beauty paused slightly. It was her first time seeing someone buy so many login devices.
Not even a planetary governor buys this many.
Do slaves need login devices?
Is this governor a bit too generous?
"Hello, the total price is 18 million gold coins."
After Qin Mu paid, he still felt it was too cheap.
Really.
It was too cheap.
Headache.
These over a hundred million gold coins, carried in his pocket like loose change, how could he not spend it all?
"Does your company sell any other resources?"
"For example, potions to improve physical fitness."
Improving talent is impossible.
Qin Mu himself couldn't afford spirit marrow.
But buying some strengthening potions to improve physical fitness a little was no problem.
Of course.
Qin Mu himself wouldn't consume such low-end potions.
Even if he bought them, it would be at an auction.
What he was buying with gold coins now was for Dragon Star.
The people of Dragon Star had too poor physical fitness.
In a lifetime of a few decades, their bodies hadn't even been properly trained, and they hadn't reached the stage of researching the Domain before their lives ended.
"Yes, we do. How much do you need?"
"Based on the price, package me 100 million gold coins worth."
Ah???
The beauty, after hearing this, instantly froze: "You.... how much do you want?"
