Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 26, Purchasing Stellar-Level Slaves
After examining the item, the old man quickly gave a price.

"We can offer a price of four billion Black Dragon Coins."

Hearing the price, Jiang Ming didn't seem too surprised. There was another reason why Jiang Ming threw the ring to Luo Feng earlier: to have Babata help him check the value of the items inside the rings.

The three stellar warriors who were burned to death by Jiang Ming must have been frequent plunderers and possessed considerable wealth.

Furthermore, Babata discovered that these three individuals were already on the wanted list of Qiulong Star, and they had a considerable bounty on their heads. After Babata uploaded the video of Jiang Ming killing the three individuals through online channels, he quickly received the bounty.

Jiang Ming was actually very curious about how these wanted people managed to evade the pursuit of Qiulong Star. After Babata explained, he understood that the so-called wanted notices and bounties were not set up by Qiulong City itself.

It was the reward offered by the families of the victims.

However, with this bounty in hand, they dared not enter Dragon City, so most of the looted treasures remained on their person.

Upon learning that these three stellar-level martial artists possessed such wealth, Jiang Ming felt a pang of regret for not having kept all the dozen or so soul auras he had sensed at the time.

Plundering is indeed the fastest way to accumulate wealth. A stellar-level martial artist can accumulate a large amount of wealth by plundering hundreds of planetary-level units.

For a stellar-level being, a planetary-level warrior is nothing more than an ant, easily plundered.

Even if the wealth is less, as long as enough people are killed, the accumulated amount is still astonishing.

"This price is fine."

Jiang Ming nodded and approved the price.

The transaction was completed, and Jiang Ming's account received an additional 7.8 billion Black Dragon Coins.

After leaving the exotic treasure shop, Jiang Ming led his group towards the slave market.

……

The slave market occupies an area of ​​300 square kilometers in the prime location of Qiulong City. It is packed with people and is the most prosperous market among the hundreds of star systems in the surrounding area.

"Discount promotion! Discount promotion! A Tarot Clan member at the 'Apprentice Level 9' level is now only 20 Black Dragon Coins. Buy 10 get 1 free, buy 100 get 15 free, the more you buy, the more you get free."

As soon as you enter the slave market, you see groups of people constantly pulling customers in front of huge slave shops and introducing them to customers.

Upon hearing this introduction, Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. Ninth-level Apprentice? Isn't that equivalent to a high-level War God on Earth?

20 Black Dragon Coins each, with discounts for buying in bulk?
Wouldn't that mean you could buy a few million high-level War Gods for a hundred million?

Just then, a stunningly beautiful girl with cat ears approached Jiang Ming.

"Does Your Excellency wish to purchase female slaves? We offer 5000 Black Dragon Coins per female slave, each one a top-tier beauty, specially trained to guarantee your satisfaction."

The cat-eared girl wanted to get closer, but under Jiang Ming's gaze, she felt immense pressure and stopped after a few steps. Instead, she called out to Jiang Ming in a charming and seductive voice.

"Do you have any stellar-level ones?" Jiang Ming asked the cat-eared girl with an indifferent gaze.

Upon hearing this, the cat-eared girl was overjoyed; this was a big deal!

"Yes, sir, come this way with me."

He then led the way, taking Jiang Ming and his group in one direction.

Along the roadside, servants of the eighth or ninth rank of the Stellar level would occasionally display their power and attract attention, while stunningly beautiful women, dressed in elegant gauze dresses, would perform graceful dances in front of the shops.

Even Jiang Ming couldn't help but glance at it frequently.

"Sir, those are all apprentice level. Wouldn't buying those be beneath your dignity? Our goods will satisfy you."

Seeing that Jiang Ming's attention had been diverted, the cat-eared girl worried that the deal would fall through, so she quickly tried to attract Jiang Ming's attention. "Sir, if you want to buy stellar-level female slaves from us, we can give you a thousand of these apprentice-level female slaves, and they will all be great beauties, from all races."

Hearing the cat-eared girl's words, Luo Feng, who was standing to the side, became somewhat curious.

"How did you acquire these slaves?"

When Luo Feng asked, the cat-eared girl explained.

"Most of these slaves come from the masters of slave planets, where the population has multiplied rapidly, and a large population can be generated every once in a while."

"We sell hundreds of millions of people at a time; most of our slaves come from these planets."

The cat-eared girl spoke of these things without any emotion, as if the hundreds of millions of people she was talking about were not human beings, but rather products coming off an assembly line.

Hearing this, Luo Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

A slave planet? Selling people in batches?

Just by listening to the description, Luo Feng could imagine what a hellish scene it must have been.

"These slave planets are inhabited by weak races. Their strength after adulthood is not even at the planetary level, making it extremely difficult for them to produce powerful individuals. So this is their fate."

The cat-eared girl's tone wavered as she spoke the last few words, and a fleeting pain flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, Luo Feng also noticed that there were many slaves in the shop who looked similar to the cat-eared girl. These female slaves were beautiful, the male slaves were handsome, and most of them had reached the planetary level in strength.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng's body went completely cold.

The cruel reality of the universe was laid bare before him.

Even planetary-level and stellar-level humans can still be sold into slavery at will.

Luo Feng felt the same way, as did Hong and Lei Shen.

On the first day of entering the starry sky, this cruel and cold world revealed its cold and dark side beneath its prosperity.

Even though Jiang Ming already knew all this, it was just a story; he hadn't experienced it firsthand.

Standing in this slave market that spans 300 square kilometers, Jiang Ming deeply realized that weakness is the original sin.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming's thirst for strength grew even stronger.

"Sir, we are here."

The cat-eared girl led Jiang Ming and his group into a reception room, where a star-level leader soon appeared.

"This is the slave in our shop, sir."

After the person in charge finished speaking, he reached out and gestured, and a series of virtual projections appeared beside Jiang Ming.

A large amount of information about slaves has appeared, including details such as height, appearance, strength, and race.

"It seems that once you reach the stellar level, the price difference between male and female slaves will not be significant."

Looking at the rows of data on the screen, Jiang Ming noticed that the prices of these slaves were slightly higher than those of stellar-level slaves, but the difference wasn't too dramatic.

"That's true. What else can male slaves below the planetary level do besides mining? That's why there's a huge price difference between male and female slaves below the planetary level, but the higher the strength, the smaller the difference becomes."
