Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 73 Three-Star Customers

Suddenly, Lu Jin realized something important.

Because of the need to participate in the Genius Battle and to facilitate future exploitation, it is not advisable for the main body, which has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Stellar Realm, to make any further breakthroughs.

However, the life level of the main body and the level of the original core do not necessarily have to be the same.

It is entirely possible to allow the original core level to advance to the cosmic level and continue to expand the inner world, while the main body will remain at the peak of the ninth level of the stellar realm and will not break through for the time being.

As the level of the protocore increases, the inner world becomes stronger, and the time required for the clone to develop naturally decreases.

"Rumble--"

The next moment, a large amount of nine-colored mist gathered wildly, and the Nine-Colored Continent began to expand rapidly once again.

A week later, the nine miniature stars that were originally in the void within the original core space had long since disappeared.

Instead, there is a huge vortex nebula with eight cantilevered arms.

Within the inner world, the Nine-Colored Continent, which was originally 90 kilometers long and wide, has expanded to a massive 9000 kilometers long and wide.

It took a full week for the protocore and the inner world to not just reach the cosmic level, but to reach the limit of the cosmic stage.

At the same time, unsurprisingly, the time required for the gestation of the Time-Shattering Avatar has been significantly reduced.

Even though there is a maximum level difference between the original core and the spawning clone.

This transformed the original planetary-level time clone into a stellar-level time clone, but the gestation time was still reduced from the original 20 years to 5 years.

'Although it will take another 5 years, that's enough.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

It is currently mid-October 2061, and the Time Clone will be born in October 2066.

If he remembers correctly, the battle of geniuses began in 2066.

Although the battle of geniuses had already begun, the final competition was still several years away.

With his exceptional talent in cultivating the superior time law through his Time Clone technique, even a few years would be enough for him to surpass all the geniuses in the Genius Battle in terms of mastery of the superior time law.

After all, the Time Avatar is a special life form that follows the laws of time, and its life genes are as high as eight hundred times. It is likely that it will be able to cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of time as soon as it is born.

Of course, once the proto-nuclear level reaches the cosmic level, the inner world can also nurture a second clone.

Unfortunately, he did not have suitable genetic material.

Since the clone is useless, Lu Jinning can leave this clone slot vacant until he finds suitable materials.

Moreover, this second clone should ideally be a special life form governed by spatial laws.

Afterwards, Lu Jin exited the inner world and began a new round of fleecing.

After several days, some of the 108 cosmic-level Black Mongol slaves under his command have already passed the cooldown period of their fall.

In the following days, the other slaves will also gradually pass through the drop cooldown period.

What he needs to do next is to accumulate wealth by taking advantage of loopholes.

When a bank account deposit reaches 10 Mixed Yuan Units, which is 10 trillion Cosmic Coins, one can become a three-star customer of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

At that time, they will not only have enhanced purchasing privileges, but will also be eligible to participate in the Qianwu Auction.

Lacking access to high-value items, his only option for purchasing powerful or martial arts weapons is through the Qianwu Auction House.

When there are no more opportunities to profit, one should continue to improve one's skills in the field of light, hoping to cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of light as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of loopholes takes time and can delay one's own self-cultivation to some extent.

In addition, ordinary slaves couldn't get anything too good, so Lu Jin didn't continue to expand the scale of the wool factory; 108 cosmic-level slaves were enough.

As for the soul defense technique, Lu Jin originally planned to cultivate the "Void Tower," which wasn't quite suitable for him. But now, the soul defense technique can be put on hold for the time being.

This being possesses the ordinary soul treasure 'Blazing Pearl' to safeguard its soul, making soul defense techniques optional.

If the opponent's soul attack or illusion can break through the defense of the Blazing Light Bead, then even if he diligently cultivates the "Tower of the Void," there is nothing he can do.

The Time-Shattering Avatar, which can only be born five years later, doesn't even have a soul, so it doesn't need any soul defense techniques either.

2062, end of February.

Lu Jin, accompanied by his Radiant Guardians, once again traveled to Azure Star aboard the Glorious Spaceship.

I handed over the 45 Tier 5 equipment pieces I had acquired in the last three months to the staff of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank for them to sell on my behalf.

According to Fatty's estimate, the proceeds from the sale of these 45 Tier 5 equipment pieces, plus the more than 1.3 trillion cosmic coins in the bank account.

His deposits should exceed 10 trillion cosmic coins, making him a three-star customer of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Another half month passed, and it was the time of the Lunar New Year.

One joyful event followed in Lu Jin's heart. First, his mastery of the field of light broke through again, entering the fourth level.

The next day, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank transferred the payment.

"Master, your Cosmic Galaxy Bank account has received a deposit of 89263 trillion Cosmic Coins, bringing your account balance to over 10 trillion Cosmic Coins."

Fatty's voice echoed in Lu Jin's mind.

Immediately, within the World Ring, Lu Jin, who was continuing to improve his mastery of the field of light, had a thought and logged into the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island, Moon Bay.

Inside the villa's study, a projection screen appeared in front of Lu Jin, displaying seven emails.

Of the seven emails, two are important, while the other five can be ignored.

One of the messages was from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, congratulating him on reaching the 10 Mixed Yuan Unit threshold in his account and becoming a three-star customer of the Cosmic Galaxy.

Another email came from Virtual Universe Company, informing him that he was eligible to participate in the triennial Junior Dry Witch Auction.

The next primary Dry Witch Auction will begin on December 15, 2062, which is ten months from now.

Shortly after checking his emails, Lu Jin headed to the Universe Galaxy Bank.

It's still a self-service system, but the reception area has become much more luxurious since the account level has been upgraded to three stars.

"Dear Samsung customer, this is Smart 050716 at your service."

The blonde AI woman who greeted Lu Jin spoke respectfully.

"With my three-star level access, could I order the Radiant Divine Weapon, one of the Nine Controllers' Divine Weapons, along with its operating instructions, from your bank?"

Lu Jin asked.

"Our bank is granting all customers with a three-star rating or higher the right to order any item with a value not exceeding 1 unit of mixed yuan."

However, for items with a value higher than 1 Mixed Yuan Unit, only partial ordering privileges are available.

We sincerely apologize, but the Controller's Divine Weapon is not within the scope of our ordering authority.

However, the accompanying operating manual for the Radiant Divine Weapon, "Radiant Mystic Codex," is priced at 1 Mixed Yuan Unit in our bank, and all customers with a three-star rating or higher are eligible to order it.

The blonde AI woman said apologetically.

To be fair, although the Cosmic Galaxy Bank engages in monopolistic practices, its service attitude towards its star-rated customers is still excellent.
