Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 174 The Zerg Queen's Mission: The Dry Witch Possesses a 'Holy Body'! (4.3k)

The Holy Land of the Milky Way.

The Zerg Queen arrived at the Galactic Sanctuary in her Queen's Palace. Since entering human territory, she had made no attempt to conceal her presence, proving that she had come in good faith.

It was not a sneak attack.

In fact, her target had long been under the surveillance of the original ancestor.

The Queen's Palace is under your guidance.

It descended into the depths of the entire galactic holy land.

A stunningly beautiful figure emerged from the palace. This was the primordial universe, and she was quite confident in her safety. This was merely the Galactic Sanctuary, not humanity's 'initial universe'.

The Zerg Queen called out from afar:

"The Empress has come to pay her respects to the Lord of the Galaxy. Please come out and meet her."

She adopted a very humble attitude.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Luo Feng's Soul Devouring Beast clone appeared, taking on a human form, and arrived at this place.

The Zerg Queen looked over and saw that the Galactic Lord's divine power aura was not concealed. She could clearly tell that this was not an avatar of divine power. If even an avatar of divine power had such an aura, then...
The Galactic Lord can no longer be merely the ruler of the universe.

The Zerg Queen had bright, lively eyes, a delicate figure, and a pair of transparent, crystalline wings. She said:

"My lord, I have come to discuss the matter of the Zerg becoming an vassal of the Galactic Sanctuary."

“I understand, and I’ve guessed your demands. First and foremost, you probably hope that after I transcend reincarnation, you’ll leave a habitat for your Zerg in the Holy Land. I can grant that. Also, you must want to cultivate further, and the cultivation guidance will depend on your performance,” said Luo Feng’s Soul-Devouring Beast clone.

The Zerg Queen's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "What did you do?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Luo Feng replied.

He immediately began discussing in his mind with Chen Qi the matter of the Zerg's defection and what the next step of the plan should be.

Luo Feng said quietly:

"Chen Qi, the fact that the Zerg have joined forces is a good thing in some ways. For example, the Zerg themselves actually have a very small population."

"That's what they want most."

"It's nothing more than that we transcend the cycle of reincarnation, allowing them a little space to survive. The Zerg Queen can easily accommodate them."

"As for some Zerg soldiers, it's fine for them to stay in their own world rings."

"But the problem is, it doesn't seem to make much sense for us to recruit the Zerg; it's just turning enemies into friends."

in system space.

Chen Qi smiled 'sunny'; he had been thinking about some things beforehand.

I have a good idea now.

Through Babata's surveillance via the virtual universe, Chen Qi's gaze fell upon a palace in a distant part of the Holy Land. That palace was absorbing a large amount of cosmic energy, forming an extremely high-temperature flame that even ordinary universe masters could not withstand.

The Lord of the Qianwu was always wearing the most precious armor there, admiring the treasure he had acquired after countless years of relentless forging.

Since changing our mindset.

After learning the weapon-forging manual provided by the Galactic Lord, Qianwu discovered that he seemed to be really good at weapon forging and learned it quite quickly.

He is now good friends with the 'Master of Craftsmen'.

The Master of the God of Crafts on the God of Crafts Star is the most skilled craftsman in the entire primordial universe, second only to the God King Sitting Mountain Guest. Among his disciples is even a cosmic overlord who is slightly inferior to the Master of the God of Crafts, and has even crafted a 'high-grade treasure'.

Second only to the God of Crafts.

"Now, I've only studied weapon crafting for tens of thousands of years, but my success rate in crafting high-grade treasures is already quite high." The Lord of Qianwu looked at the high-grade treasure longsword that had been crafted over a long period of time.

He spent a full six thousand years forging this supreme treasure sword, and it is the second high-grade treasure he has successfully forged!
"Haha, it seems that even the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and the others may not become True Gods before me! I only need to exchange for refining materials in the treasure vault, and then refine the weapons. Although the refining materials in the treasure vault are expensive, there is everything available for me to choose from."

"I only need to gather some scattered materials. If I'm missing any materials for combining them, I can get them from the treasure vault. The treasure vault has almost all kinds of refining materials with various properties. I've exchanged some experiences with the God of Crafts, and I can see that the main reason he's stuck at his current level of refining is that he doesn't have suitable materials."

"And I have it!"

For example, a priceless treasure.

It may require the combination of many materials to form a complete treasure. Most master craftsmen have a large amount of materials.

They will all be due to the lack of materials with certain key properties.

It cannot be refined.

The materials in the treasury are expensive, but the Lord of the Dry Witches doesn't need to buy all the materials from the treasury; he only needs to buy the last few that are missing.

Thus, he earned contribution points for crafting a supreme treasure.

Still quite impressive!
"My method of refining weapons to obtain treasures is much faster than exploring different parts of the primordial universe or borrowing treasures from other powerful individuals."

"In tens of thousands of years, I will be able to refine high-grade treasures."

"If one day I make a breakthrough and can refine a top-tier treasure, then I can earn treasures even faster!"

Qianwu felt that the future was full of hope.

He's now debt-free and carefree!
Among the core members of the Galactic Holy Land, as long as you have enough treasures, your comprehension can be improved, so what if your aptitude is poor?
Even if your aptitude is poor, the Galactic Lord's treasury also has resources to change it!
Many core members of the Galactic Holy Land at the level of the Lord of the Universe guessed that the Galactic Lord must have obtained the inheritance of an ancient civilization before the Broken East River, otherwise where would he have gotten so many rare materials and treasures?

but.

The core members of the Galactic Holy Land not only select geniuses but also those with high levels of loyalty. Different levels of trust result in different contents of the treasure vault.

Inside the Galactic Sanctuary.

Luo Feng's ancestral lineage clones are spread throughout the entire Holy Land, making him virtually omniscient. He can even hear whispers and gossip, which greatly aids in the selection of loyalty.

the other side.

Chen Qi said, "Luo Feng, think about it. Did the Lord of Qianwu make you a fortune recently? Although it's not much compared to your current credit limit."

"Qianwu?" When Luo Feng heard Chen Qi mention Qianwu, he immediately understood what Chen Qi was going to say. After spending so many years together, Luo Feng knew Chen Qi's personality all too well.

Luo Feng asked:

"Chen Qi, do you mean to involve the Zerg in the weapon forging process?"

Refining equipment!

The refining materials provided by the system have interest, and their prices are relatively high. If you use all the refining materials borrowed from the system, the value you can earn after refining is not high.

But
Luo Feng can entrust a large number of people to refine weapons.

Even if the profit is small, the sheer volume will make it enormous!
This allows them to continuously produce supreme treasures, such as the master craftsman Qianwu, a top-tier weapon refiner! And that one possesses an innate...sacred body!
Chen Qi had also thought about this question in the system space.

Because the destruction of the original universe is still a long way off, the hidden places in the three forbidden zones actually don't contain that many treasures. This is because the original universe and the supreme will will control these places, thus limiting the number of powerful beings who can transcend reincarnation.

Only true geniuses.

Only then can one transcend reincarnation and enter the Origin Continent.

Furthermore, the cultivation process is destined to become increasingly lengthy, so there will definitely be a place that provides substantial and continuous rewards. Therefore, during this long period, it is also necessary to accumulate some treasures.

A bunch of poor bastards trying to steal the primordial universe and the cosmic sea won't get them anything. No matter how much they steal, it probably won't be worth a single hair of the 'Chaotic Golden Wings' in its complete form.

However, in the original storyline:
Chaotic Golden Wings, the Legacy of the Broken Eastern River.

It's highly likely that this was something the primordial universe released to save itself; otherwise, in the cosmic sea, a place that a true god who has broken through the void must leave.

How could it be allowed to appear inside the Chaos Golden Wing?
What about the 'source'?

Such good things don't come often.

Chen Qi had learned some weapon crafting before, but he couldn't help much in the system space. He was thinking that if he could craft weapons to earn some treasures, he could accumulate treasures faster.

unfortunately
He probably doesn't have the working-class holy body of the Lord of the Dry Witches!

He is indeed not very talented in weapon crafting.

The Zerg Queen can spawn a large number of Zerg soldiers, who can all participate in the crafting process. Some low-level treasures can probably be crafted by the soldiers on their own, without needing to divert their consciousness to control them.

They are also capable of refining large quantities of low-grade materials.

For example, a master craftsman usually has some simple tasks that he can delegate to his apprentices to craft small parts.

The Zerg Queen can order the soldiers to do this.

Furthermore, Zerg soldiers can also perform some low-level tasks, such as transporting batches of resources to various locations!
The Zerg Queen can spawn powerful soldiers.

They can be used as 'escort soldiers', and there is no need to worry about alien races plundering supplies. The Zerg are also naturally gifted individuals.

As for the claim that he lacks the qualifications or his cultivation level cannot keep up with Luo Feng's...

That's easy. Which strong person doesn't want to become stronger? They'll all be motivated on their own without needing to be whipped.

Just like the Lord of Qianwu, once he earns money and spends it in the treasure vault, he will improve his realm and aptitude on his own. Why would Luo Feng need to care?
Luo Feng and Chen Qi sat and controlled the price ratios within the treasure vault.

Just take a cut!
For example, over 3,000 Treasure Points in the Human Race Treasury can be exchanged for one Supreme Treasure Point.

A little adds up to a lot.

Then
As long as there are enough weapon-refining masters, even if the profit margin of the refined treasures is very low, they can still continuously earn wealth and exchange it for treasures through the system loan!
Of course, now both treasure points and major treasure points are useless to Luo Feng.

The Zerg Queen, with her delicate figure and gentle voice, asked, "What does Your Lordship intend to command me to do?"

"First, I want to see your Queen's Palace," Luo Feng said bluntly.

The Zerg Queen was taken aback. Was the request really that simple?

Immediately, she began to wonder if the Galactic Lord was implying something. Even though she had spawned a large number of Zerg soldiers, her Zerg race was different from other races; she was still pure and innocent.

And as the strongest being in the universe, she also has her pride!

She looked closely, trying to confirm whether the Galactic Lord had given any other hints.

"What are you looking at? Do I have to tell you directly?"

"What I want is for you to sever the bond with me and give me the supreme treasure, the Empress Palace. Do you really think I'm just here to look? What use is it for me to look?" Luo Feng couldn't hold back any longer. This Empress was staring at him with those eyes. Did she think she could control him just because she was a little pretty?
The Zerg Queen was taken aback.

She spoke through her pain:

"Okay! You can give it to the adult!"

The most powerful treasure is indeed very important, but it can only save her life for a time, not forever! Once the three cycles of reincarnation are over, she is destined to perish.

If the most powerful treasures could save themselves and their races, then in the first and second cycles of reincarnation, many races would probably be willing to do so.

"Well, next is something else. From today onwards, you are a core member of the Galactic Holy Land, but your loyalty is extremely low, and your access to treasures is also very limited. You need to perform well to have a chance to exchange for cultivation experience that leads to the 'Ultimate Limit of the Universe'," Luo Feng said.

The Zerg Queen was taken aback and asked, "Lord, do you have cultivation experience that leads to the limit of the strongest beings in the universe? Haven't you already obtained the Duan Donghe inheritance?"

"Of course not, but isn't that inheritance already mine? Can't I sell it in advance? Isn't this to make it easier for you to accumulate enough contribution points so you can buy it directly later?" Luo Feng said directly. In fact, he did have it, but he couldn't let the Zerg Queen know; her loyalty still needed to be proven!
Luo Feng granted the Zerg Queen certain privileges.

The Zerg Queen logged into the virtual universe, specifically the plane of the Galactic Sanctuary. She browsed through the treasury, having learned from intelligence that the Galactic Sanctuary's treasury contained some rare resources, a deduction made by the Galactic Sanctuary's core members through their speed-enhancing abilities.

She was looking forward to it.

But after opening the treasure vault...
She was dumbfounded.

"Why is it empty! Lord of the Galaxy, are you sure you're not mistaken?" the Zerg Queen couldn't help but exclaim.

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there's a specially customized item for you that's not on sale yet. Wait a moment."

The Zerg Queen harbored expectations deep within her heart.

but.
She saw it very soon.

One more item has been added to your treasure trove, or rather, one more item slot has been added.

It says:

[The Legacy of the Broken East River - Ultimate Guidance Experience from the Strongest in the Universe]

[Current Status: Pre-sale!]

"?!!"

The Zerg Queen looked at the Galactic Lord, who had already claimed the Queen's Palace as his own and put it away. The Queen was enduring pain in her heart.

But considering that he could most likely survive three reincarnation eras with the help of the human race.

It's still acceptable.

Luo Feng put away the Queen's Palace, but he didn't forget the important matter. He said to the Zerg Queen, "There is one more important task that only your Zerg race can undertake. This is also the last condition I need you to fulfill."

"What is it? Even if it's just about joining forces to kill the Machine, Dream Demon Ancestor, and Tremor Demon Ancestor in the Cosmic Sea... I'm willing to participate!" The Zerg Queen was already prepared. Having just joined the Galactic Holy Land, she would definitely need to test her loyalty.

She wasn't surprised by that.

However, the Zerg Queen was not worried that the Galactic Lord would easily send her to her death. After all, she was one of the strongest beings in the universe, and she believed that even as an alien race, she would not be easily abandoned.

The strongest being in the universe is still a very powerful being.

"It's nothing major. You should study this part of the weapon-refining inheritance carefully. Later, I plan to open a weapon-refining sect. You can ask your insectoid soldiers to work for you. They are strong and heat-resistant, and they can also refine weapons. This will earn you contribution points." Luo Feng was very generous and took out some weapon-refining inheritance.

The Zerg Queen was a little confused.

No, she's the strongest being in the universe, and you expect her to send soldiers to forge treasures? She can forge some low-level treasures, but where would she get the materials? And what use are so many low-level treasures?
Luo Feng seemed to have guessed what the Empress was thinking, and said directly:

"Don't worry about the rest."

"As for the refining materials, the sect will supply them instead of the factory. In addition, the sect will also develop more technologies for manufacturing alloys, such as how to use the environment to nurture materials for refining weapons... etc. You can also have other strong members of your Zerg come to work and have them manufacture alloys."

"If they earn more, you'll get a share too."

"..."

"In short, Your Majesty, keep up the good work and earn contribution points. Once you've crafted enough treasures, you'll earn contribution points, and you'll definitely get a share of the inheritance."
