Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 120 The Cruelty of the Universe

Slave market!

Unlike Luo Feng in the original timeline who was focused on cultivation.

While on Earth, China's elites learned about the basic situation in the universe from Babata, and learned that a legal slave trade existed in the universe.

It provides a clearer understanding of the status of planetary-level and sub-planetary systems in the universe.

They don't even deserve citizenship, or even the right to ride in a transport ship; they are born slaves.

In the universe, there are countless slave planets.

Before setting off, a large number of plans were made.

But when they actually saw the slave market, their hearts turned cold.

A single slave market covered an area of ​​over 300 square kilometers!

This might be hard to understand.

However, it should be noted that before the Great Nirvana, City 003, one of the largest cities on Earth, was about 100 kilometers wide from east to west and about 120 kilometers long from north to south, with a permanent population of over 2400 million.

And the area of ​​this slave market is more than twenty times that of City 003!
The slave market was packed with people, with slaves being sold everywhere and buyers picking and choosing.

China has long since eliminated slavery!

The darkness and coldness that greeted them made them tremble at the sight of the scene, which was being witnessed for the first time, as well as the aura emanating from the numerous powerful slaves.

As elites of China, they quickly adapted to their new environment, though their eyes held a suppressed fear and burning desire.

China must become strong, or it will only follow in the footsteps of others!

Fortunately, they have the legacy of Meteorite Star, giving them the resources to rise again.

As for now, all we can do is blend in with the world and use the rules to strengthen ourselves.

Therefore, when Qin Ming and his group came out of Qibao Store, they saw that Zhao Xingguo and a group of people had already selected a large number of slaves.

They were just waiting for Qin Ming and the others to arrive so they could choose their items and pay together.

"Young master, your men are all very shrewd, and they all select slaves who have a special skill."

Look at these, they are all defeated slaves from a planet. They are all researchers from that planet, and they can even build low-level spaceships.

Although they are only apprentice-level and planetary-level, they are definitely good value for money for building planets!
Furthermore, these stellar-level slaves are all quite powerful, more than capable of serving as bodyguards.

A slave market manager who looked like an Earthling but had a single horn on his head walked up enthusiastically.

He couldn't help but be enthusiastic. Although these people were all at the planetary level, they all had Silver Guards acting as bodyguards when they traveled, and their words revealed that they were carefully cultivated talents.

Those few servants alone purchased a large number of slaves.

In addition to a large number of slaves who mastered various technologies, they even bought a large number of stellar-level slaves, and even a stellar-level ninth-tier martial artist bought one!
Its total value exceeds 200 billion!
This is definitely a major client.

Now that the person in question has arrived, how could he not be enthusiastic?
"Hmm, let me take another look."

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Before leaving Earth, they had already agreed that Qin Ming would play the role of a second-generation member of a family who had just acquired a life-bearing planet, and go to the slave market to buy a large number of slaves to build the planet.

This situation is very common in the universe.

With the slave manager's explanation, Qin Ming gained a detailed understanding of the prices of slaves.

A typical apprentice-level ninth rank cultivator usually only earns 20 Black Dragon Coins.

In other words, spending 100 million can directly buy 5 million high-level War Gods.

The technical talents that Huaxia purchased were not even at the ninth level of the apprentice level. Although they had technical expertise, their price was about the same as that of ordinary ninth-level apprentices, or even cheaper.

Low-end technical talent is not valuable.

Planetary-level items are more expensive; planetary-level third and fourth-tier items are worth five to six thousand Black Dragon Coins.

Even a ninth-level planetary-level martial artist only has 3.

In contrast, there are some more advanced technical talents.

For example, they have mastered the core talent in the manufacturing and design of A-class spaceships, laser cannons, and battle armor, and they are basically all planetary-level individuals themselves.

Even a first-tier stellar-level martial artist is very cheap, only 100 million Black Dragon Coins.

However, the prices of stellar-level warriors vary greatly, with a fourth-tier stellar-level warrior costing 2000 million.

The number of martial artists at the seventh rank of the Stellar level reaches 20 million, at the eighth rank rank 50 billion, and at the ninth rank rank 5 billion!
The number of mental cultivators is three times that of martial artists at the same level!
As for the cosmic level?
Even the cheapest cosmic-level slaves start at ten trillion Black Dragon Coins.

A leap in social level is a jump in one's level of life!
The further along you go, the more exaggerated this leap in levels becomes.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of one ninth-level stellar warrior is much greater than that of two eighth-level stellar warriors.

As for the first-order cosmic level, it can easily handle large areas of the ninth-order stellar level.

However, the level of cosmic-level slaves has already reached its peak.

Because slaves are controlled by implanting 'biochips' in their brains.

Once implanted, it cannot be removed; the chip and brain are completely integrated, and it will be completely loyal to its owner.

To destroy a chip, you have to destroy its brain.

The soul of a human powerhouse resides in the sea of ​​consciousness within their brain!

The core of a domain lord-level powerhouse is no longer the physical body, but the singularity life core within the body, and the soul is also integrated into the singularity life core.

As long as the singularity core remains intact, even a shattered brain can be quickly restored.

Therefore, the domain lord cannot be controlled through biochips.

If you want to enslave a powerful being above the Domain Lord level, you can only rely on mental magic!
For example, the "Soul Imprint" in the Meteorite Star's heritage can even enslave immortal powerhouses. This is how Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, acquired his nine immortal servants.

When Qin Ming and his group arrived, Zhao Xingguo and his group had already selected one ninth-level stellar-class martial artist and two eighth-level stellar-class martial artists.

This removes 90 billion Black Dragon Coins.

It's not about being rich and powerful.

Rather, if you want to do business in the universe, you can't do it without sufficient military force.

Especially top-tier military strength!
In many star systems, space pirates roam freely.

If you lack military strength, you're just easy prey.

For example, China is already discussing purchasing the large-scale slaughterhouse that Qin Ming wants, and at least one eighth-tier stellar-level slave will be stationed there to guard it.

This will reduce most of the trouble.

The eight star systems under the command of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Silver Blue Elementary Universe have only universe-level beings among their strongest members, and there are no more than ten of them.

There are more than 20 life-bearing planets in the Milky Way.

One of the livestock planets is presided over by a powerful stellar-level force, making it a top-tier power.

Further down, there are also a number of seventh-level stellar-level mentalists, as well as fifth and sixth-level stellar-level mentalists, and especially a full 1000 first-level stellar-level mentalists.

1000 first-tier stellar-level martial artists would only cost 10 billion Black Dragon Coins.

It also includes a large number of planetary-level and apprentice-level beings, whose total number exceeds 5 million.

The total price was over 20 billion Black Dragon Coins.

The vast majority of these are apprentices who have mastered various skills, and they are not worth much.

1 million Black Dragon Coins can buy a few million. It looks like a lot, but it's mostly just add-ons; you didn't actually spend any money.

Huaxia has already received a large number of orders, and in the next period of time, it will be frantically starting construction and maximizing production capacity.

The Earth has a large population, but not enough skilled workers.

Its scientific research level is also insufficient.

With such a group of people joining, the growth of China will be greatly accelerated.

"Is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

Qin Ming looked at Jia Yi and Luo Feng.

The two remained silent after entering the slave market.

They were clearly shocked by what they saw inside.

Most of the slave races here are far stronger than those on Earth. If Earth were to be discovered, they would probably suffer even more misery than they do.

They had heard that many planets were used as slave planets.

It's like harvesting chives, harvesting them regularly.

Jia Yi shook his head slightly. Since China had already bought it, there was no need for him personally.

Luo Feng hesitated.

Although he was also a high-ranking official in China and could command these slaves, it was ultimately inconvenient.

After discussing with Babata, they purchased one seventh-level stellar-class, three sixth-level stellar-class, and ten first-level stellar-class mentalists to serve as sparring partners.

Do you have any cosmic-level slave corpses here?

After wandering around for a while, Qin Ming spoke to the person in charge beside him.

"Cosmic level? Slave corpses?"

The slave supervisor looked at Qin Ming with a face full of surprise.

When he heard "cosmic level," his face was practically overflowing with ecstasy; cosmic level slaves were a super business opportunity.

Cosmic level, a powerful force even in the universe.

In some remote areas of the universe, such as the Silver Blue Empire, they can roam freely.

Therefore, the price is extremely high.

But the body!

That's worthless.

Monster corpses are valuable because of their enormous size; their bones, scales, and other parts can be sold as raw materials. But what use is a cosmic-sized human who is only a few meters tall?

What peculiar hobbies do these second-generation kids have?

They actually went to the slave market to buy corpses?
"I'm keeping it as a collector's item! Just tell me, do you have it? And what's the price?"

Qin Ming glanced at the person in charge.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The person in charge immediately said, "How could there be no casualties when they went to capture slaves?"
The dead ones simply don't fetch a good price.

"Esteemed guest, we have the corpse of a powerful member of the Purple Ape Clan at the first level of the Universe Realm here. Since it is dead, it is not worth much."

"If you want it, I'll send it to you for just 100 billion Black Dragon Coins."

The person in charge hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"100 billion Black Dragon Coins? Do you think I'm stupid?"
I bought a Cosmic-level Mountain Giant Bear from Qibao Points for only 100 billion Black Dragon Coins!

That was a colossal beast that was at least a thousand meters tall!
Wouldn't it be more prestigious to use it as a collectible?

Moreover, that fur coat is worth quite a bit of money.

How big were the corpses of the Purple Ape clan?

Qin Ming shook his head dismissively and immediately turned to leave.

"Hey, customer! Don't go! The price is negotiable!"

If you don't mind that the body is a bit broken, we also have a second-tier cosmic-level body.

I'm selling it to you as a package deal.

It's definitely prestigious to use as a collectible.

Only 100 billion Black Dragon Coins!

The person in charge got anxious and just gave a random price.

But who knew that this second-generation rich kid would actually buy the corpse of a mountain bear from the treasure shop!
Qibao Store was very close to the slave market, so they only needed to ask around to find out the truth of the matter.

"A second-tier cosmic-level corpse?"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. He wasn't buying human cosmic-level corpses for fun; they were also cosmic-level combat power!
"It won't do if it's too badly broken."

Although he was tempted, Qin Ming still said...

"Don't worry, it's not serious. With some repairs, you won't be able to tell the difference. It'll definitely be fine as a collectible."

The person in charge seemed a little guilty.

During the battle, the first-tier cosmic-level corpse was alright, but it died from a severe chest injury.

The second-order universe was in dire straits, with most of its body shattered. However, if it were to be used as a collectible, it could be pieced together and still pass for the unrecognizable exterior.

"Liu Qiang, go and talk to them about the price. If the damage is too severe, then forget about it."

Qin Ming nodded slightly to Liu Qiang behind him, and then said.

"Could you please let me take a look at the goods?"

Having received the hint, Liu Qiang immediately stepped forward and smiled.

……

Outside the slave market, Qin Ming and his group walked out.

Both cosmic-level corpses were captured, costing 80 billion Black Dragon Coins.

The slave trade, involving millions of people, was conducted directly at interstellar ports. Zhao Xingguo and his team had already purchased a batch of large transport ships.

The massive transport spaceship, 100,000 meters long, has many layers; by squeezing them together, all the slaves can be transported away at once.

They won't take all of these slaves with them.

According to the plan, a few of the elite personnel from Huaxia will stay behind to set up a company in Qiulong City with a group of stellar-level slaves.

This includes the acquisition of large slaughterhouses, the transportation of large quantities of monster carcasses, and various subsequent commercial transactions.

This cannot be completed in a short time.

Qin Ming and his group did not plan to stay here for too long.

They can communicate at any time in a virtual universe.

"The matter is almost finished. Once all the various machine tools have been purchased, I'll head back."
