Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 116 Virtual Universe and Monster Slaughterhouse

In the office building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiulong Star, Qin Ming took the lead, followed by two guards in black uniforms with flowing silver hair.

Luo Feng, Jia Yi, and 20 other Chinese elites followed closely behind.

"The citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have all been registered. Let's go open an account at the Virtual Universe Company now."

Qin Ming addressed the crowd behind him.

According to the plan, the addresses they filled in during registration were not Earth, or even the Milky Way.

For example, Qin Ming wrote about an unknown planet in a star system called Tianlu, while Luo Feng wrote about the Big Bear Star System. Although both belonged to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they were far apart.

When you have money, everything goes smoothly.

Besides the 'coins' called Qianwu coins in Babata's possession, China also has a number of metal currencies excavated from ruins.

The original owner of the X81 spaceship in Heilongshan also possessed a spatial ring containing considerable wealth.

They don't lack the small amount of money required for citizenship registration.

"it is good!"

Luo Feng and Jia Yi nodded, both of them feeling relieved.

After landing on the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship, they headed towards Qiulong City. Along the way, they saw many breathtaking landscapes, each with its own unique architectural style, so beautiful they were almost unbearable.

For example, Qiulong City.

Its city walls are 120 meters high, and when you include the 'glass dragons' carved on the top of the black walls, the height reaches several hundred meters.

The entire city is protected by some kind of powerful defense system.

As for the city itself, the entire vast city seemed to stretch to the horizon, with no end in sight.

The largest city on Earth looks like a small village in front of Qiulong City.

The 'human' race in the city was an eye-opener for them.

Some humans have three eyes, some are covered in scales, and some are as tall as ten meters, like giants. There are too many different kinds of races.

These people are incredibly powerful.

The highest level on Earth is Qin Ming, a planetary-level eighth-order mentalist.

But along the way, they saw countless stellar-level powerhouses.

On the streets of Qiulong Star, the endless stream of people is almost entirely composed of planetary-level beings, with stellar-level beings everywhere. Any stellar-level being would be virtually invincible on Earth.

Jia Yi and his companions were naturally all nervous.

However, they did not encounter any unexpected situations.

With a luxurious Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship and Silver Guards acting as bodyguards, Qin Ming was treated with great courtesy by everyone he encountered along the way.

This is also part of the plan—to act as a newly adult member of a family who has taken over a life-bearing planet.

Just like the Gaosheng-Diwei family in the original timeline.

Who would have the time to mess with a rich second-generation heir whose background is unknown but whose wealth is considerable?

With citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, many things can be accomplished.

Security has also been greatly improved.

Without status and sufficient strength, they are vulnerable to being killed or enslaved at any time.

"Babata, where can I open an account on the Virtual Universe Network?"

Qin Ming asked.

Virtual universe!

This is one of their biggest purposes in traveling to the universe!

This is a colossal behemoth that connects all human kingdoms in the entire universe. Linking to the virtual universe means that they have integrated into the universe.

“It’s over a hundred kilometers away,” Babata began giving directions.

Qin Ming, Luo Feng, Jia Yi, and a group of others took to the air and flew rapidly toward their destination.

Virtual Universe Corporation, one of the five major powers of the human race.

Humanity can communicate instantly across almost all of the 1008 advanced universes, and even throughout the entire primordial universe.

This feature alone is enough to amaze anyone and make billions of races in the primordial universe drool with envy.

Babata believed that within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would be very powerful, at most giving some face to the five giants.

This is a limitation of perspective.

Qin Ming, however, knew perfectly well that the Virtual Universe Company was a transcendent entity that surpassed all other cosmic nations.

Behind it are the Lord of Chaos City, and even great beings like the 'Primordial Ancestor'.

Besides Virtual Universe Company, the five major giants are also Universe Galaxy Bank, Universe First Bank, Giant Axe Arena, and Universe Mercenary Alliance.

Each of them is an absolute behemoth in their field, backed by a powerful being at the level of a cosmic lord.

For example, the wealth left behind by Hu Yanbo is in the Universe Galaxy Bank. The three accounts he gave to his disciples are in the Universe Galaxy Bank.

The Giant Axe Arena is the fairest arena, where countless powerful individuals fight to the death in search of breakthroughs.

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is a loosely organized group.

However, over 99% of human martial artists and mentalists will join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!

……

Opening an account with Virtual Universe Company went smoothly; it was simply a matter of paying money and getting things done.

With Babata, the experienced driver, leading the way, everyone completed the process with ease and also purchased a batch of anonymous accounts.

After successfully opening the account, Qin Ming and his group did not rush to handle other matters. Instead, they found a luxury hotel, booked rooms, and held a brief meeting.

"In Qiulong City, we also saw some scenery that we had never seen before."

However, our intelligence is somewhat outdated. Once you enter the virtual universe, your task is to gather the latest intelligence as quickly as possible and look for any potential opportunities!

Qin Ming addressed the group of Chinese elites. Neither Qin Ming nor Luo Feng were particularly skilled in intelligence gathering or identifying business opportunities, but these 20 elite individuals were experts in these areas.

"understand!"

The group of elite talents immediately nodded, their eyes filled with enthusiasm.

What they saw and heard along the way both shocked and made them nervous.

Business, finance, intelligence, technology!

Finally, it's time for the part they excel at!
After a brief exchange, everyone began connecting to the virtual universe.

"The virtual universe is being connected..."

A deep, resounding voice echoed in Qin Ming's consciousness.

Qin Ming's consciousness was plunged into darkness.

……

This is a city as ancient as Qiulong City, with streets paved with large, shaped stones.

The crowds on the road came in all shapes and sizes, and of all races, but most of them were dressed in simple gray clothes.

And each person has a little elf on their shoulder.

brush!
A person suddenly appeared in the crowd on the street; it was Qin Ming.

Like everyone else, Qin Ming was dressed in simple gray clothes, with a tiny sprite, no bigger than a fist, sitting on his shoulder.

"This is the virtual universe? It feels so real!"

Amidst the bustling streets, Qin Ming looked around, taking in everything.

"Contact Luo Feng and Jia Yi first."

Your initial location upon entering the virtual universe is random and not fixed.

At this moment, Qin Ming didn't know where he was. He decided to find Luo Feng first and have Babata show his group around.

They were all located on Black Dragon Mountain Island in a virtual universe, but no one knew how far away they were.

Although it is called an island, this island is larger than any planet in the real universe. All the people in the more than 8,000 star systems of the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region are on this island!

It's easy to imagine how enormous this island is.

Fortunately, Qin Ming knew the other people's communication codes when he opened the virtual universe account.

With the communication code, once you add someone as a friend, you can chat remotely or pay to meet them in person.

The virtual universe is a vast world that gathers all the elites of humanity in the universe, and it is more prosperous and vast than the real world.

Cultivation, combat, trading, games, food, learning, entertainment, and more—whatever you can imagine, the virtual universe network can do it all.

As long as you have money!
Using the teleportation function, Qin Ming, Luo Feng, and Jia Yi quickly reunited.

As for the others, they scattered to gather intelligence and look for possible opportunities.

"Babata, can you help me find out how to purchase planetary and stellar-level monsters in bulk?"

Qin Ming said to Babata.

Qin Ming was well aware that Qiulong Star was involved in the slave trade.

However, if it were up to him to buy, it would obviously be more cost-effective to buy the monster.

The monsters are much larger, and more of their flesh and blood essence is extracted from them. Moreover, monsters with low intelligence and slaves with intelligence are completely different in price.

Monsters also come in different types.

Those with intelligence are called monsters, such as the monsters on Earth. The demon race, one of the six supreme races in the universe, can also be considered a monster.

Furthermore, there are ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts are of low intelligence and have violent tempers; most of the monsters in the Thunder World in the original timeline were ferocious beasts.

Animal husbandry in space is highly developed.

Before the Earth was occupied by Huyanbo, it was a pastoral planet.

This could be used to purchase a batch of monsters, devour their souls and flesh, and extract stellar-level soul crystals and flesh essence to accelerate cultivation.

At the same time, we also need to upgrade the Myriad Soul Banner to the third tier as soon as possible!

"That's easy! These are all available for purchase in the virtual universe."

Babata snapped his fingers and smiled.

He was very 'clear' about Qin Ming's talent; the stronger the monster's strength and bloodline, the better the effect.

That's something that can even refine immortal corpses, allowing them to upgrade their bloodlines.

It was originally estimated that it would take Luo Feng 50 years to reach the star level, but now it is estimated that it will only take 20 or 30 years. This is the power of bloodline!

Refining the flesh and blood of some star-level monsters for cultivation might be more effective than using Muya Crystal, and could even shorten the growth time.

Unlike the slave trade, Virtual Universe Corporation disdains buying and selling slaves.

However, buying monsters is a commercial transaction; you can purchase them from many livestock companies throughout the universe, and you can buy them in bulk.
Humans in the universe also need to eat meat!
"Different types and strengths have different prices. For example, monsters below the planetary level are generally worth less than 10 Black Dragon Coins."

Planetary-level creatures are more expensive. For example, this massive ninth-tier planetary (monster) mammoth mammoth is 300 meters tall and worth 100,000 Black Dragon Coins.

The unicorn, which is about the same size and strength as the mammoth, is a ferocious beast but only costs 1 Black Dragon Coins.

It's up to you to choose.

Babata rapidly projected a large amount of information in front of him, including planetary and stellar data, which dazzled Qin Ming.

"I can help you with the screening, and then I'll have your people in China negotiate. There will definitely be discounts for bulk purchases."

"Understood! Let me take a look. What do you think about us opening a slaughterhouse? That would make it easier to source supplies in the future."

Looking at the large amount of information on the monsters, Qin Ming smiled slightly.

He wants more than just monster flesh and blood; he wants souls, a huge number of souls!
