Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 116 Imperial Citizens, Virtual Universe

"Brother, how about you sell me your X81 spaceship when you no longer need it? I can afford it in ten years."

The fat man smiled憨态可掬 (endearingly simple-minded), looking completely harmless. Then he introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gao Sheng*Diwei. Just call me Gao Sheng."

"I also modified and repaired this Black Dragon Mountain spaceship before I could fully get it working, and I'm still reluctant to sell it now," Luo Feng said casually, following Babata's advice.

“Hmm, it’s an old model from over a million years ago. After over a million years of use, many parts have decayed. Repairing it is no easier than buying a new one. Brother, you are indeed a kindred spirit.” Gao Sheng praised, “Driving such a pure metal luxury car would be incredibly prestigious.”

Luo Feng smiled and didn't respond to Gao Sheng's suggestion. He came to the universe to obtain a cosmic identity, not to chat idly and pretend to be a rich second-generation.

"Brother, you haven't introduced yourself yet?" the fat man said with a grin, showing no signs of being from a wealthy family.

"My name is Luo Feng!" Luo Feng said with a smile.

“Brother Luo, there are only two of you. Your bodyguard is only at the second level of the Stellar Realm. Can he protect you? Why don’t we go together? On this Qiulong Star, only those inside the city are protected; those outside are not.” The fat man quickly asked after Luo Feng introduced himself.

Seeing that his strength was being questioned, Wu Hao quickly released the first layer of his light field to prove his strength.

"Impressive!" The fat man started boasting. "He possesses a domain at the initial stage of the Stellar level. Your bodyguard seems to be a genius. Can you transfer him to me? I'm willing to pay ten times the market price."

The fat man's lack of boundaries left Luo Feng speechless. He shook his head, pretending to be angry, and turned to leave: "Sorry, this bodyguard is from my clan, and I do not sell him!"

"Hey, hey, Brother Luo Feng, don't go, Brother Luo Feng, don't go." The fat man apologized repeatedly and quickly followed, trying to get close to Luo Feng again.

A group of people flew at low altitude and gradually entered the city.

Along the way, Luo Feng and Gao Sheng became quite familiar with each other. During this time, Gao Sheng played the role of a good tour guide, which earned him a lot of goodwill from Luo Feng and made him less disliked.

After exchanging contact numbers, the two went their separate ways to take care of their own business.

"Three eyes, that person's teeth are so interesting!" Luo Feng and Wu Hao walked down the street, discussing the appearance of passersby using their mental powers.

The planet Qiulong is practically an encyclopedia of human species. All creatures with human-like appearances are collectively referred to as humans, resulting in humans only being similar in appearance, while their actual appearances are vastly different.

Moreover, everyone walking around this city is at least a planetary-level human; those below that level are nowhere to be seen. Even with Wu Hao's strength, he wouldn't stand out in a crowd.

“Luo Feng, I’ve already inquired. The administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is two hundred kilometers away!” Seeing the two getting carried away, Babata interrupted their conversation: “The first thing we plan to do upon arriving on Qiulong Star is to obtain citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.”

They both nodded, and Luo Feng immediately said, "Let's go!"

The two immediately took off and flew to an altitude of 100 meters. According to the city management manual, this is the only altitude at which long-distance flights are permitted.

The 200-kilometer distance was not far for Luo Feng and Wu Hao at all. In just over ten minutes, the two arrived at the administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

At the entrance of the building stood two silver-clad guards, each nearly six meters tall. As Luo Feng approached the door, the two guards immediately greeted him respectfully, "Please come in, sir!"

Luo Feng nodded, then led Wu Hao and two Silver Guards into the administration building.

In the universe, status, position, strength, and pomp are highly valued. As long as you achieve these, you will be superior to others and respected wherever you go.

Following the signs and beacons in the building, Luo Feng and Wu Hao entered the thirty-second floor and obtained citizenship for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

After completing the identity verification process, the two immediately went to the business center of Virtual Universe Company to open an account for themselves in Virtual Universe Company.

"Luo Feng, the Virtual Universe Company's network covers the entire universe. Not only in our Qianwu Universe Country, but in every other human country, there is this behemoth called the Virtual Universe Company. This is your first time entering the Virtual Universe, so don't act like country bumpkins, or you'll be targeted!"

Luo Feng nodded and continued flying into the distance.

Qiulong City, Virtual Universe Company.

"Sir, how can I help you?" A pretty woman in a red uniform with a fluffy tail bowed slightly and smiled at Luo Feng.

"Open an account," Luo Feng said succinctly.

“开户业务，一次性缴纳多少虚拟宇宙网络费用？分别是100年、1000年和10000年三个档次。每年的网络费用为10黑龙币，或者是0.008乾务币。”接待女子很是流利地说道。

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's expression immediately turned grim.

The price was beyond his imagination, millions of times more expensive than internet service on Earth.

Ten Black Dragon Coins are worth tens of thousands of Silver Blue Coins. Only a very small number of ordinary people on the planet can afford them. No wonder they can't even reach the planetary level and are not considered human in the universe.

Because they are below the planetary level, they don't even qualify to use the virtual universe network.

"Do you have consciousness-sensing helmets here?" Luo Feng asked.

"One is the sensor helmet, which costs ten Black Dragon Coins."

Luo Feng then asked, "What about anonymous accounts?"

Some planetary lords in the universe buy consciousness-sensing helmets for their planetary subjects to use. These are usually anonymous accounts, which are generally valid for 100 years and require a new account to be purchased upon expiration.

These anonymous accounts cannot be linked to users, meaning anyone can use them, and they can be used for a maximum of 100 years.

The receptionist immediately replied, "The anonymous account has a fixed validity period of 100 years, and the annual account price is 2000 Black Dragon Coins or 1.65 Qianwu Coins!"

Luo Feng nodded slightly, "I only need 10 anonymous accounts and 10 consciousness-sensing helmets to open accounts and pay for 100 years."

With citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, opening an account was very easy. After Luo Feng paid 17 Qianwu coins, all the formalities were completed, and the two walked out of the Virtual Universe Company.

Wu Hao secretly transmitted his voice: "Luo Feng, I'm planning to sell the curved blade plate."

"Ah, the curved blade disc? Didn't you already sell it to that thing?" Luo Feng exited the Main God Space and could no longer directly call the Main God by his name.

"Yes, but I redeemed it. He only obtained the manufacturing process of this thing through the weapon I submitted. The weapon itself isn't worth much." Wu Hao also avoided mentioning the God's name, considering the points deducted from the main god.

"The selling price of the arc cutterhead is over 220 billion Black Dragon Coins, and the buyback price is between 180 and 200 billion. Do not sell it for less than this price!" Babata immediately gave his price advice when he learned that Wu Hao wanted to sell the arc cutterhead.

The Arc Blade Disc is somewhat similar to Wu Hao's Eight-Point Light Wheel. He can use the Eight-Point Light Wheel as a telekinetic weapon, so the Arc Blade Disc is dispensable to him.

"Let's go sell them!" The two immediately entered a shop called Qibao Store and began to sell the curved cutter head.

As usual, Luo Feng was responsible for completing the transaction, while Wu Hao acted as his bodyguard, creating the persona of a wealthy young man.

As soon as the two entered the shop, the clerk smiled and said, "Sir, how may I help you?"

"I want to sell a telekinetic weapon." Luo Feng looked at him, much to the waiter's surprise, "It's a third-tier one!"

"Please, please wait a moment!" The two then entered the small conference room and sold the Arc Blade Disc for 180 billion Black Dragon Coins.

Next, Luo Feng and Wu Hao went to the Universe Galaxy Bank to open bank accounts, and Luo Feng transferred 180 billion Black Dragon Coins to Wu Hao's account.

Afterwards, the group went to a company specializing in secret techniques and bought and sold some martial arts techniques from the universe and the Meteorite Star.

Each of them had over 100 billion Heilongshan coins remaining in their respective virtual universe company accounts.

Finally, Wu Hao used the money to go to the Virtual Universe Company alone and set up 100 anonymous accounts and virtual sensing helmets for all of humanity on Earth.

After returning to Earth, he will need to register a dedicated virtual network link room with the Planetary Council on Earth.

He ordered the Red Queen to monitor their every move, and if anyone leaked information about Earth, he would immediately cut off their network and prosecute them for crimes against humanity.

Of course, this was just a precaution for Earth's safety. Under normal circumstances, he would not monitor the privacy of Earth's powerful figures.

At noon, Luo Feng and Wu Hao entered a casual restaurant and booked a private room.

Once inside the private room, Wu Hao immediately dropped his pretense and sat down at the table with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng first ordered a strange juice, then ordered one for Wu Hao, and then told the waiter to leave.

After the waiter had gone far away, he immediately looked out the door of the private room and then ordered two silver-clad guards to protect Luo Feng and Wu Hao.

Only then did the two finally have time to enter the virtual universe and explore it.

"The virtual universe is being connected..."

A deep, resounding voice echoed in Wu Hao's consciousness, while Wu Hao's consciousness was shrouded in darkness.

This is an ancient city, its streets paved with large, carved stones. The people on the streets are of different appearances, heights, and races, but most wear simple gray clothes, and each has a small elf on their shoulder.

Suddenly, two people appeared in the crowd on the street; it was Luo Feng and Wu Hao.

The two were dressed in simple gray clothes, and a virtual sprite, no bigger than a fist, sat on their shoulders.

Luo Feng's spirit is the demon Babata, who is also dressed in the same green clothes and is incredibly cute, just like a little elf.

Wu Hao's little sprite is his artificial intelligence, Red Queen.

The Red Queen is currently only a strong artificial intelligence, far from reaching the level of an intelligent life form.

Those who can use personal intelligent life forms are generally members of large families or powerful beings at the cosmic level.

"Is this the virtual universe? It feels no different from the real world!" Luo Feng exclaimed, speechless with amazement as he looked at the bustling crowds on the street.

Wu Hao then punched him directly, telling him to stop showing that country bumpkin attitude.

Babata explained, "Everyone who connects to the virtual universe network within the Black Dragon Mountain territory will automatically appear on 'Black Dragon Mountain Island.' Although the Black Dragon Mountain star system has more than 8000 star systems and countless planets, there are a large number of people online, so the area of ​​this island is larger than the area of ​​any planet in the real universe."

Wu Hao quietly explored the world around him, observing everyone.

Meanwhile, Babata was frantically explaining the uses of the virtual universe to Luo Feng and Wu Hao, and binding their virtual universe accounts to their personal bank cards.

The two explored the virtual universe for a long time before reluctantly exiting it.

Wu Hao took a sip of the drink on the table, and immediately goosebumps rose all over his body. It was even more sour and refreshing than drinking a Coke from 82 in the middle of summer.

Savor it carefully; it has a unique flavor.

The universe is vast and full of wonders, and a universe where intelligent life, like Swallowing Star, roams freely is truly astonishing.

Just as the two were savoring their drinks, Luo Feng's communication armband rang. It was Gao Sheng, who had finished his own business.

"Haha, Luo Feng, I've got my business sorted out. Let's have dinner together!" Gao Sheng shouted.

"Where is this place!" Luo Feng also cherished this first friend he had made in the universe.

Gao Sheng said, "In the northern district of Qiulong City, near the slave market, there is a very good place to eat called 'Baiwei Restaurant'."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." Luo Feng ended the call, tilted his head back and gulped down the juice he was drinking, smacked his lips twice, and then walked outside. "Brother Wu, let's go!"

The two walked out of the restaurant together and headed towards the North District.

Half an hour later, on the second floor of Baiwei Restaurant in the North District of Qiulong City, Luo Feng and Wu Hao had just walked upstairs when they saw Gao Sheng stand up and wave. Luo Feng smiled and walked over.

The two men sat at the table, each flanked by their respective bodyguards.

As soon as Luo Feng sat down, he saw that Gao Sheng's brows were very relaxed, and he looked very happy.

After catching up briefly, they began to order food from the waiter.

The restaurant's waitress had a head of green hair and looked very beautiful and alluring, which made Luo Feng take a few more glances at her.

Gao Sheng immediately noticed this and then teased Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, wasn't that woman pretty? Women of the Beimeng tribe are all beautiful. If you like her, take her with you. Just tell the boss."

"Take him away?" Luo Feng was somewhat taken aback; this was a huge challenge to his understanding as an Earthling.

Equality among all people has been achieved on Earth, but the disparity in power in the universe is too significant, making true equality impossible.

“A beautiful woman who isn’t even a planetary-level person usually has a tragic fate.” He exclaimed loudly, “She’s not even a citizen. Without legal protection, anyone with power can kill her or take her away at will. Even if she’s captured, she can be sold into slavery. It’s her good fortune to be like Brother Luo Feng.”

The conversation between the two evoked different associations in Wu Hao's and Luo Feng's minds.

Luo Feng was shocked by the cruelty of the extraterrestrial humans towards ordinary people, while Wu Hao was thinking about what if some species looked good but were hermaphroditic, or practiced fission reproduction? Would it be usable to buy such a creature? Are there such extreme species in the universe, or what is the mainstream method of reproduction among extraterrestrial humans?
How do different species produce offspring? It's worth noting that the original novel explicitly states that Luo Feng's descendants included someone who married an alien, and that hybrid humans from Earth were also born.

"Look, she's peeking at you, Brother Luo Feng," Gao Sheng teased.

Luo Feng glanced around and immediately spotted the Mengbei girl peeking out from the corner of the restaurant.

However, he already had a wife at home, so it was impossible for him to buy a woman like that.

Wu Hao then quickly sent a telepathic message to Luo Feng, expressing his desire to study cosmological anthropology.
