Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 69: Taking Stock of Funds, Funds Surge! (3.1k)

"Passed."

"Many people have probably seen it."

Luo Feng flew out of the Sky Bridge and said to Chen Qi in his mind, "Chen Qi, I've passed the seventh level. There shouldn't be any trouble, right?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Chen Qi was quite certain that displaying such a level of genius would be extremely beneficial for Luo Feng, as he would receive more training.

He said:

"It's like a primordial, universe-level mountain that requires twelve layers of bridges to reach the heavens, and you need to fully understand the 108 essential elements in the first three diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

"The human race's high command expects you to be able to pass the twelfth level at the cosmic level."

Once a cosmic-level being passes the twelfth level, which is equivalent to passing the level of the original Tongtian Mountain at the cosmic level, they have reached the level of the Kodi at the cosmic level.

A genius that appears only once every hundred million epochs!

"Now we need to take stock of the harvest."

"You've crossed the seven levels of the Heavenly Bridge, and now you're getting a tenfold reward! The first level is 1,000 points, the second is 2,000 points, the third is 4,000 points... and the seventh is 64,000 points!"

"A total of 127,000 points!"

Chen Qi and Luo Feng were somewhat expectant, as they were unaware that the Chaos City Lord had increased the rewards fivefold.

"127,000 points, plus the original nearly 100,000 points and 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units, this is equivalent to about 230,000 Mixed Yuan Units."

"There's also the money from mortgaging the Meteorite Star."

Luo Feng rode the Dark Cloud Shuttle all the way back to the island via the Tongtian Bridge, where he saw five people standing in the island's square.

The Guardian 'Baffin', a friend of Master Zhenyan, Master Tongnan, and Master Longyu, and the Nine Swords Venerable!
"Greetings, Venerable One, Teacher, and seniors."

Luo Feng immediately realized that it must be the way he cleared the seventh level that attracted the Nine Swords Venerable, who was in charge of this year's Genius Battle.

"Not bad." The Nine Swords Venerable looked at Luo Feng and praised him, sighing inwardly. Luo Feng was such a genius that he might not be under his command in the future. However, if the genius battle he presided over could produce a Universe Venerable, that would not be a bad thing.

Luo Feng was puzzled. The Nine Swords Venerable couldn't have come here just to praise him.

The Nine Swords Venerable slowly began to speak:
"I brought a few words from the Lord of Chaos City."

Upon hearing that it concerned the Lord of Chaos City, both King Tongnan and King Longyu were startled. The Lord of Chaos City was paying attention to Luo Feng.
However, upon closer examination, they realized that these were geniuses who had the potential to become cosmic masters.

They certainly deserve to be valued by the Lord of Chaos City.

"The Lord of Chaos City said that you should cultivate diligently, but don't focus on comparing yourself with other geniuses of the same generation. Instead, you should set your sights on the long term."

“Look at those cosmic masters and overlords. Before they became immortal, when they were at lower realms, they displayed such terrifying dominance that they suppressed all kinds of geniuses and made them unable to raise their heads. You should be looking up to those kinds of people, not those like ‘Bolan’ or ‘Rong Jun’…”

Luo Feng nodded. He was well aware of this, and he had never been too proud of his current achievements. His goal was not merely to become a Universe Venerable.

but.
He was more concerned about his reward!
His exceptional performance shouldn't come with any extra rewards, right? Without rewards, how can he ask Chen Qi for more loans so he can continue his training and reach an even higher level?
"The Lord of Chaos City also said that within these thirty years, your points will be more than ten times the base amount, and then increased fivefold. While other geniuses in the same period will have ten times their base points in thirty years, you will have fifty times!" The Nine Swords Venerable announced the reward.

This reward is actually quite terrifying.

For example, if you normally pass the first level of the Sky Bridge, you only get 100 points, but in Chaos City, you will only get 1,000 points in 30 years.

Without this tenfold advantage.

Clearing the seventh floor only yields 6,400 points!

Luo Feng has a 50x points bonus, so he would have 5,000 points on the first level, which is comparable to the reward on the seventh level without any bonus!

Chen Qi was also rapidly calculating within the system space:

"Five times it again."

"Luo Feng, your score for this challenge of the Bridge to Heaven is 635,000 points! If you pass the eighth level, the score will be 640,000! The score for the ninth level is 1,280,000..."

As you go down one level after another, the reward for each level is multiplied by two.

If Luo Feng is terrifying enough, even those who have been granted the titles of Marquis or King would be envious of this points reward.

Huyan Bo, an immortal figure who barely managed to be granted a marquisate.

Most of the family's wealth was used to build the Meteorite Starship, which was only worth 3.6 million!

Luo Feng's eyes were also full of longing. As long as there was enough money, Chen Qi could help him grow quickly. Money was everything!
"Keep going, Luo Feng. Perhaps in many years, you will be able to reach my level and fight alongside me."

Nine Swords Venerable smiled. He dared not even think about taking on a disciple. The Chaos City Lord's two attentions to Luo Feng clearly indicated something was amiss. It was very likely that Luo Feng's cultivation level was too low, and the Chaos City Lord felt that there was no need for him to take on a disciple so early.

The True King is capable of teaching Luo Feng now, which is why he didn't interfere.

"Seventh Floor" Berlan stared at the message from Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge, and fell silent. He seemed frozen in time, motionless.

The seventh level is already a level that even some realm lords find difficult to pass.

The black-robed envoy's reprimand echoed in Bolan's mind, and he also recalled his only encounter with Luo Feng on the genius battle arena.

One strike.
He flew out of the ring!
“Luo Feng.” Bo Lan’s eyes flashed with the memory of his defeat, and he began to ponder whether the path he had chosen was the right one.

Berlan considered himself a genius. But he now discovered that geniuses are not all the same, and that the differences between geniuses of different degrees are enormous!
Sometimes, even someone's silhouette might disappear completely over time...

Among the contestants of this year's genius tournament.

Berlan had already suffered the worst blow.

Because on this timeline, Long Yun, Rong Jun, and Wu Ka... etc., when they saw Bo Lan, who was far superior to them, being defeated by Luo Feng in one move.

They already knew that Luo Feng was beyond their reach.

During the three years of their journey, they had already experienced the pain they were supposed to, and had basically come to terms with reality. Now they were just surprised, but not too shocked.

Is there a difference between clearing the sixth floor and clearing the seventh floor?
They are both beings that can only be looked up to.

You just need to tilt your head back at a higher angle...

The Chaos City Lord's attention was drawn to those cosmic venerables, cosmic kings, and so on. They were well-informed and basically all knew about the situation.

Back when the Genius Battle was underway, the higher-ups at Virtual Universe Company ordered that no one should interfere with it. Later, they learned from True King Yan and Nine Swords Venerable that the Lord of Chaos City was already paying attention to Luo Feng's cultivation and wanted to see if Luo Feng could break through to the Universe-level Tongtian Mountain.

Then this time, the reward for clearing the level was increased specifically for Luo Feng.

The Lord of Chaos City is using high rewards to incentivize Luo Feng to study the laws and clear more Heavenly Bridges...

Each additional level offers double the reward.

This undoubtedly proves that the Lord of Chaos City values ​​Luo Feng highly, almost explicitly stating that this genius has entered his field of vision and he is personally guiding and nurturing him. Naturally, the other cosmic rulers would not dare to steal him away.

All I can do is sigh in silence.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is one of them, and he is now envying the True Yan King.

Chaos City.

The residence of Prince Zhenyan.

"You said you wanted me to help you contact a company and mortgage a heavily damaged F-class spaceship?" King Zhenyan sat cross-legged, with wine and dishes laid out on the table.

Luo Feng nodded and said:

“Yes, teacher, you should also know that my hometown is a region sealed off by Hu Yanbo, the ‘master of Meteorite Star’. In fact, I received the inheritance of Meteorite Star, and Hu Yanbo was my first teacher.”

"I want to mortgage his spaceship 'Meteorite Star' to get some resources to help me upgrade the Skybridge and get more points rewards."

When they first entered Chaos City, many of the contestants in the Genius Battle did not have access to certain privileges, such as contacting some departments of the Virtual Universe Company.

Includes 'mortgage business' permissions.

So Chen Qi and Luo Feng went to find Zhen Yanwang, hoping he could help them mortgage the Meteorite Starship to raise the last bit of funds before starting the loan!
King Zhenyan nodded, drank with Luo Feng, and then smiled and said, "Don't mortgage it. Although you probably haven't met the early-deceased Huyan Bo, he was your first teacher. The Meteorite Starship was a gift he left for you."

"In this way, the value of an F-class spaceship is about three million Chaos Units. Your teacher has paid for it as a gift for your initiation into the master's household. You should keep the spaceship for yourself and not mortgage or sell it."

"..." Luo Feng was taken aback.

He hadn't expected this outcome; the True King actually gave him three million.
"What are you standing there for? You promised to drink with me when we get to Chaos City."

"continue."

"As for the three million Hunyuan units, I'll transfer them to your account later. This is a secret between you and me; you mustn't tell your other fellow disciples, or they might get jealous." King Zhenyan smiled and raised his wine cup.

Luo Feng repeatedly said, "Thank you, teacher!"

"Let's drink." King Zhenyan said nonchalantly.

Luo Feng couldn't tell his other fellow disciples under the True Yan King's tutelage about this matter. Among the True Yan King's disciples were those who had been granted the title of Marquis Immortal, those who were ordinary Immortals, and so on.

Three million Chaos Units would make most of True King's disciples envious.

In the system space, Chen Qi was also impressed by the generosity of the True Yan King. The Master of Meteorite Star had died and left all his assets to his disciples, but the True Yan King casually gave three million, which was almost equivalent to all the cash deposits left by the Master of Meteorite Star.

“Lord Chen Qi, King Zhenyan has already said that Luo Feng must keep the Meteorite Starship safe. We can’t secretly pawn it again!” Babata said.

Chen Qi responded reassuringly:

"I won't mortgage it anymore, I won't mortgage it anymore."

At this moment, he was thinking to himself:

"Three million Mixed Yuan Units, acquired!"

"Currently, the balance is three million Hunyuan units, the more than 630,000 points from breaking through the Heavenly Bridge, the 100,000 points from becoming a member of the Primal Secret Realm, and the 10,000 Hunyuan units from winning the Genius Battle are now just a fraction of what they were."

"Nearly 3.8 million Mixed Yuan Units!"

"If used to cultivate credit points, it should be able to cultivate approximately 15 million mixed units of credit points, and the items can be customized..."

"Fifteen million Mixed Yuan Units!"

"That's equivalent to over 7,000 E-class mechanical ships, which is more than 1,500 times the current credit value!"

"take off!"
