Chapter 219: The Auction Begins, the Ultimate Battle Imminent
Planetary defense system, done.
cyber clone, done.
The rest is the auction, purchasing the resources I need.
The Pinnacle Battle is imminent.
The main body is only Star Rank. Even if battle experience and Laws have a huge advantage, to be safe, it’s better to improve the main body a bit, at least to Star River Peak to be more at ease.
spirit marrow, I can buy more.
It can increase the chance of Law critical strikes while consuming medicinal properties.
You can’t have too much of a good thing, buy as much as you can
... The auction house is in Qingxuan City.
But it’s not in the area where Qin Mu is; he needs to go to the central district.
It’s more convenient in the Metaverse than in reality; all regions and locations can be teleported to.
"Beep Teleport target: Central District, Cosmic Bank."
"This teleportation will cross six districts. The teleportation fee is 30 million qidala gold coins, or 3,000 energy stones."
"Damn it "
"Are you messing with me? "
In the Metaverse, a single teleportation costs as much as 30 million qidala gold coins?
What the hell
How many cultivators below Star Realm have enough money to teleport there?
Ao Mengmeng looked at Qin Mu’s shocked expression and calmly said, "This is normal, isn’t it? Is there anything surprising?"
"30 million This is a Metaverse teleportation Damn it, the price is even more expensive than real-world teleportation, alright? Are you sure you don’t need to be surprised?" Qin Mu immediately retorted with a barrage of questions.
"No need " Ao Mengmeng said decisively.
Holy cow
Is this Stingy Dragon crazy?
She, who is so stingy, could actually say such a thing?
Ao Mengmeng frowned slightly and explained, "There’s really no need to be surprised. This is the Metaverse, not reality; you won’t die, you know "
"Being able to appear in the main headquarters of all Transcendent Factionss, being able to interact with all the Experts of this Realm, and being immortal..."
"Think about it, who wouldn’t want to go to the central district in the Metaverse? Even if they don’t have housing there, no place to stay, and can’t even afford the cheapest central hotel, only able to endure sleepiness and wander the streets, they will still want to stay there."
"The Metaverse Company cannot directly restrict low-Realm cultivators from going; they can only use inter-district fees to restrict the abnormal flow of ordinary people."
"Let alone teleporting, even walking there requires paying a fee."
Qin Mu was speechless.
Metaverse Company.
They really make a lot of money
No
This is no longer making money; this is robbery Naked robbery
This is robbery against all cultivators, levying taxes
Hmm.
Metaverse Tax
The seemingly free Metaverse, the Metaverse that might even be losing money on low-end equipment.
In reality, it is collecting taxes from the entire Human Race in various ways
Cultivators, with low starting Rank, are bound to be in the outer areas of the city.
As their Rank increases, they need to go to inner areas, come into contact with higher circles, and interact with more powerful forces.
All of this requires crossing districts to accomplish.
If you want to consume or deposit money, you certainly don’t need to cross districts.
But if you want to make money and become stronger, you must cross districts.
Because better customers, higher-value missions, and stronger teammates are all in the inner layers, the central layer.
Every cultivator, as their Realm improves, must pay this inter-district fee.
Although the fee to reach the central layer isn’t that high, only 3,000 energy stones, there are so many cultivators.
Everyone has to pay, and even buy houses, consume, and stay in hotels in the central district, plus other services of the Metaverse that he doesn’t even know about yet.
Damn
Super rich
No, the richest
Qin Mu truly doesn’t think there’s any other force richer than the Metaverse Company.
They make so much money that even if you wanted to be envious, you couldn’t.
Because this money, you can’t earn it.
Technology?
It’s also strength.
The Metaverse, possessing such wealth, is almost an invincible existence.
If you add the Pinnacle Battle, constantly attracting Geniuses with wealth, that would be a complete kill
It’s like adding an eternal prefix to invincible.
Eternally invincible
"No wonder even Ao Mengmeng felt it was untouchable when she mentioned the Metaverse, and had no thoughts of provoking it."
Qin Mu thought to himself.
Damn it, any normal person, after understanding this Metaverse Company, shouldn’t have any thoughts of confronting it head-on.
It’s too ridiculous
However.
Qin Mu is not a normal person, so there’s no pressure... After paying the teleportation fee, he instantly appeared in the central district.
Compared to the bustling outer city, the streets here are wider, and the flow of people is not as crowded.
Qin Mu merely observed casually, and immediately drew several glances filled with anger and warning.
Even in the Metaverse.
Cultivators with powerful Realms are still powerful.
Even a slightly prolonged gaze will attract the other party’s attention.
Furthermore.
The identities of these people can almost all perceive the existence of Space Law fluctuations.
The Space Law fluctuations that can be displayed are at least Star Domain Peak, possessing a certain mastery of Space Law.
Even.
Qin Mu also observed some existences whose Space Law fluctuations were so terrifying that they made the surroundings tremble.
"Divine Rank ?"
Qin Mu couldn’t be sure, but his gaze didn’t linger... "Cosmic Bank "
A hundred-meter-tall, square building constructed of giant stones.
In front of the door were 3,600 stone steps, and 360 stone pillars stood.
Orderly.
Everything had to be perfectly square, with sharp edges and corners... The auction was about to begin, and on both sides of the stone steps, there were uniformed staff members, lining up to guide people.
Even those with powerful Space Law fluctuations, far exceeding ordinary Star Realm Peak existences, did not accelerate, but instead ascended the stone steps slowly.
As Qin Mu was new here, he naturally followed the guidance and went up... "The Starry Sky Pinnacle Battle, which occurs once every 50,000 years, does Bishop Lorie have confidence?"
The Experts around did not lower their voices, chatting casually.
"I dare not."
An elder on the left, dressed in luxurious gold patterns and bearing the insignia of the Holy See, humbly said:
"For the barren Qingxuan Realm, participating in the Pinnacle Battle and witnessing the Geniuses of the Universe is of greater significance."
"His Excellency, the Holy Sect Master, has already stated that if anyone in the Luol Temple can break through the fiftieth floor, they can be considered a candidate for the next Holy Sect Master."
Hmm
"Fiftieth floor That difficulty is not small."
"Indeed "
Bishop Lorie sighed, "The Starry Sky Pinnacle Battle is, after all, of a different difficulty. The Qingxuan Realm’s best result last time was only the forty-third floor."
"I hope a Genius who can break through the fiftieth floor will appear this time."
"Even if they are not a Luol Temple believer, it would still be a boost for our Qingxuan Realm."
"And also to tell the Universe that our Qingxuan Realm is not without Geniuses Our Qingxuan Realm, after the Heavenly Sword Sect left, is not a place of mediocrity "
Hmm.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect was indeed powerful. It is rumored that when the Heavenly Sword Sect was in charge, the Qingxuan Realm never had a Genius who couldn’t break through the fiftieth floor difficulty."
"We... still lack Legacy..."
"However, this auction has mysterious light feather for sale. For your Luol Temple Geniuses, it’s a good Divine Weapon. If it can be utilized, there’s still a chance."
Hahaha.
Bishop Lorie of the Luol Temple laughed heartily, "You’re too kind. If we can acquire it, it will indeed be beneficial."
"It’s just that this mysterious light feather seems to have some issues with its origin. It is said that Minister Qian Yun of the Metaverse heard about it and was once furious..."
Another person suddenly looked sideways in surprise and asked,
"Does Bishop Lorie not know?"
"Hiss, is there some secret involved? " Bishop Lorie shook his head.
"Hmm... This matter is hard to explain clearly, but it seems to be related to the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm that appeared."
As the two spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Cosmic Bank and, following the guidance, entered the internal auction hall of the bank.
Qin Mu’s private room was different, making it difficult to continue following... Opposite the Cosmic Bank, at the Metaverse Headquarters.
Minister Qian Yun was currently standing with her hands behind her back at the head of the hall.
Below.
There were a thousand youths, standing in neat rows with straight postures.
"The past achievements of the Qingxuan Realm, I won’t say, you should also know."
Qian Yun’s expression was solemn as she mused, "If this performance continues, the entire Qingxuan Realm will face the possibility of an early restart. This is not a joke "
On both sides.
Minister He Nian of All Stars Finance, as well as the Emperor of the Qidala Empire, the Speaker of the Laya Alliance, the Holy Sect Master of Luol Temple, the Prime Minister of the Jiuxuan Empire, and Sect Leader Ming Luo of the Star Luo Sect, and others were all present.
"Minister Qian Yun, Minister He Nian, all one thousand of the most talented individuals below Star River Peak in the Qingxuan Realm are here "
The Qidala Emperor spoke.
Qian Yun scanned the crowd below.
Her hatred for Lei Long deepened by another three points.
If Lei Long hadn’t appeared and killed Yin Zheng, the S-Class Genius she brought from headquarters, her basic mission assessment for this Pinnacle Battle would have been easily completed.
Now, placing hope on the Geniuses of these local forces was truly a last resort.
If these people had hope of breaking through, then the Qingxuan Realm wouldn’t be in its current state.
Unable to even break through the fiftieth floor.
It might even end up on the blacklist for destruction and restart.
The Universe doesn’t raise waste.
A Star Realm without hope.
The sooner it is destroyed, the sooner it can be restarted.
Although the Peak Council does not actively destroy Star Realms, the lack of Geniuses and the decline in the number of Experts, with a little control, will accelerate this process.
"You thousand people are the most outstanding Geniuses of the Qingxuan Realm in the past 50,000 years. I hope you will not disgrace me, and not disgrace the Qingxuan Realm."
"I have only one requirement for you."
"Pass the fiftieth floor of the Starry Sky Arena "
"Those who complete it can directly join the Metaverse Company."
"If you can break through the eightieth floor, I will personally take you as my Disciple "
"If you can break through the hundredth floor, you can become an SS-Class Genius of the Metaverse Company "
"If you can break through the two hundredth floor, my revered master, God King Wing Star, can take you as a Disciple, becoming my Junior Brother or Junior Sister."
Boom
The thousand people below simultaneously cheered loudly with excitement.
"Go all out, surpass ourselves "
"Famous in the Universe, revitalize Qingxuan "
"Charge "
Qian Yun nodded slightly, "Very good Starting today, I and the other Star Realm Experts will fully instruct you, holding nothing back "
"Seven days later, the decisive battle in the Starry Sky Arena "
"Only success is allowed, not failure "
