Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 131 Conflict in the Restaurant

Qiulong City, Virtual Universe Company.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng entered the hall and came to a counter for handling business.

"Gentlemen, welcome to Virtual Universe Company. Is there anything I can do for you?"

A beautiful woman in a red uniform, with a pretty face and a fluffy tail, smiled and asked Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

Luo Xia glanced at the woman's tail; on Earth, she would definitely be considered a non-human girl.

"We need to open an account," Luo Feng said to the woman beside him.

Do you offer account opening services?

女子点了点头，然后问道：「两位先生要缴纳多少虚拟宇宙网络费用？我们公司有三个档次，分别是100年、1000年和10000年。每年的网络费用为100黑龙币或者是0.008乾巫币。」

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and then asked, "You have consciousness-sensing helmets here, right?"

On their way to Virtual Universe Network Company, Luo Feng and Luo Xia had already discussed it.

Earth is destined to connect with the universe in the future.

Therefore, starting with a virtual universe is the best choice.

After all, the virtual universe's network spans the entire universe. On Earth, as long as you wear a consciousness helmet, you can contact all life forms in the universe, which is much easier than in reality.

They could first purchase some consciousness helmets to return to Earth, giving a small number of Earthlings the opportunity to come into contact with cosmic civilizations.

These individuals, equipped with consciousness helmets, can learn in a virtual universe, bringing advanced knowledge and technology to Earth and improving the overall technological level of the planet.

"Yes. One consciousness-sensing helmet costs 100 Black Dragon Coins."

The receptionist answered, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Nowadays, people with some status all use auxiliary light computers or even more advanced intelligent light computers; no one would use a consciousness-sensing helmet anymore.

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

This anonymous account was something Babata explained to the two brothers.

In the universe, some planetary lords purchase consciousness-sensing helmets and distribute them to their planetary subjects. These subjects use anonymous accounts.

The advantage of this anonymous account is that it is not bound to any user, and anyone can use it, but the usage period is only 100 years.

Once the account expires, you will have to purchase a new anonymous account.

The woman at the reception nodded, realizing that these mind-sensing helmets were probably for her subordinates. She smiled and said:

"The validity period of the anonymous account is fixed at 100 years, and the price of each account is 2000 Black Dragon Coins or 1.6 Qianwu Coins."

"very good."

Luo Feng nodded and said, "I need 1 anonymous accounts and 1 consciousness-sensing helmets. To open an account... just pay for 100 years."

With the wealth left by their teacher, Luo Feng and Luo Xia are no longer short of money.

I'll just buy ten thousand!

The woman at the reception seemed somewhat surprised; so many anonymous accounts and helmets must have cost a considerable amount of money.

"Sir, the helmet and anonymous account cost a total of 2.5 million Black Dragon Coins, which is equivalent to 2.5 Qianwu Coins. As for your account opening and 100-year internet fee, it costs 1.6 Qianwu Coins."

"That's what the receptionist said."

Luo Feng nodded to Luo Xia, who immediately stepped forward to pay.

After the payment was made, the formalities were completed quickly.

The woman who was receiving them then had someone bring Luo Feng and Luo Xia to their warehouse.

Ten thousand consciousness-sensing helmets are quite a lot.

If you want to pick up your goods, you have to go to the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Luo Xia opened his storage ring and stored the 1 helmets piled together into his spatial ring.

These helmets weren't very large; Rorschach's disguised storage space could roughly hold them all, and no one would suspect that his storage ring was top-quality.

After all, Babata said that if people knew about his spatial ring, which had a capacity of over 3000 million cubic meters, it would definitely attract their greed and could very well cost him his life.

"Where do we go next?"

"After leaving the Virtual Universe Company," Rorschach asked.

At this moment, Babata suddenly said, "Gao Sheng Weidi sent you a message. He said he's inviting you to dinner at a place called 'Baiwei Restaurant' in the northern district of Qiulong City, and he hopes you'll accept the invitation."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia looked at his elder brother Luo Feng and asked, "Brother, are we going?"

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "That Gao Sheng's identity is clearly not simple. We're new to the universe, and having more friends means having more options. Since he invited us, let's go and see."

Babata then added, "Luo Feng is right, making friends is essential. Your teacher was too solitary back then, always traveling alone in the universe, which allowed his enemy to hunt him down with impunity. If he had some friends, or joined a powerful organization, perhaps..."

As she spoke, her tone became somewhat melancholic.

Luo Feng and Luo Xia exchanged a glance, unsure how to comfort each other.

However, Babata quickly composed himself and directed Luo Xia and Luo Feng, saying, "Go this way, the Baiwei Restaurant is in this direction."

Guided by Babata, Luo Xia and Luo Feng soon arrived at a relaxing and comfortable restaurant.

"Over here, over here!"

As soon as Luo Xia and Luo Feng entered the restaurant, Gao Sheng's voice came from the second floor.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng looked up and saw Gao Sheng standing on the second-floor railing, waving at them.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng went up to the second floor.

"Brother Gaosheng, you seem to be in a good mood," Luo Feng said with a smile as he sat down.

"Of course I'm in a good mood when something happy happens."

Gao Sheng's small eyes shone brightly as he chuckled, looking very proud. "I'll tell you later. I'll order first. This Baiwei Restaurant has several very famous dishes."

As he spoke, he waved slightly, and a beautiful, alluring woman with blue hair walked over.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng looked over and discovered that the woman wasn't even at the planetary level.

It should be noted that on this planet, the people walking on the streets are generally planetary and celestial beings.

Those whose strength hasn't reached the planetary level have become rare figures here.

"Brothers, wasn't that woman pretty? The women of the Mengbei tribe are all beautiful." Gao Sheng winked at Luo Xia and Luo Feng, giving them a knowing look. "Take her if you like her. Just tell the boss."

"Take him away?" Luo Feng was somewhat taken aback.

Rorschach seemed to be deep in thought.

Gao Sheng said, "A beautiful woman who isn't even a planetary-level being usually destined for a tragic fate. She's not even a citizen, without legal protection. Anyone with a bit of power can kill her, take her away, or sell her into slavery at will!"

He glanced at Luo Feng and Luo Xia, took a sip of his drink, and said, "If she can stay with you two brothers, she'll be lucky."

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Gao Sheng could tell that neither Luo Xia nor Luo Feng were the kind of spoiled brats who would casually trample on life.

Luo Feng was deeply shocked.

Rorschach sighed softly.

Babata had already mentioned this when he was on Earth.

In the universe, the weak have no human rights.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a cold and harsh reality in this dark and desolate universe!

"Look, she's spying on you two brothers," Gao Sheng teased. "If either of you takes a fancy to her, just take her away."

Luo Feng quickly shook his head; he already had Xu Xin.

Luo Xia glanced at the woman from the Mengbei tribe.

The woman noticed Luo Xia's gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she ran away in a fluster.

Before long, one exquisite dish after another was served.

These dishes were all unfamiliar to Luo Xia and Luo Feng, and they looked quite strange, but they tasted surprisingly delicious.

It seems that even though the forms of humans in the universe are incredibly diverse, their taste buds are still quite similar to those of Earthlings.

While enjoying the delicious food, Gao Sheng also talked about why he was so happy today.

He laughed and said, "Today I went to see an elder, haha, he really gave me face, he actually agreed to let me follow him around for a few years and learn from him."

Gao Sheng, beaming, said, "My elder relative is a big shot in the energy business. Working under him will allow me to learn from his experience and build connections!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng were secretly surprised.

This energy business isn't something just anyone can do.

Such highly profitable industries have extremely high barriers to entry; it's not something anyone can just jump into.

"His background for this promotion is indeed extraordinary."

Luo Xia secretly instructed Babata, "Babata, can you check Gao Sheng's information in the virtual universe?"

"It's simple, just wait for me," Babata said with a smile.

After Luo Feng and Luo Xia opened accounts, she was able to freely explore the virtual universe using the two brothers' accounts.

Before long, Babata found the relevant information.

"Gao Sheng's personal information cannot be found, but I did find a lot of information about his Wei Di family."

Babata said.

"The Weidi family?" Luo Xia glanced discreetly at Gao Sheng, who was talking animatedly with Luo Feng across from him.

"Yes, the Weidi family is a business family, and their ancestral home is in the Carlo Empire," Babata said. "Now, most of their influence has been moved to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and the Weidi family is currently working to expand their influence to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. However, even in the Weidi family's ancestral home, there are more than ten universe-level powerhouses."

"No wonder Gao Sheng is so high-profile, always accompanied by four star-level bodyguards," Luo Xia muttered to himself. "So his background is that powerful."

"By the way, Brother Luo Feng, when are you and your brother leaving?" Gao Sheng suddenly asked. "It seems I'll be staying on Qiulong Star for a few years. If you're not in a hurry to leave, we can get together and play more often!"

"Us?" Luo Feng said, "We'll be leaving soon, maybe today. Our elders at home have other plans."

"If it's an arrangement made by the elders in the family, then there's nothing we can do."

Gao Sheng nodded. "I was also arranged to come here by my father. But it's okay, we can meet in the virtual universe in the future. Send me your virtual universe number so we can add each other as friends and keep in touch."

"OK."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia nodded and sent the network IDs they had just obtained from opening their accounts to Gao Sheng.

They add each other as friends here.

Suddenly, three young men came up the stairs.

They were all very tall, each nearly two meters, with flowing silver hair, wearing specially made black uniforms, and the person in the middle had a colorful pendant that looked like a medal on his left chest.

The moment the three of them arrived, their voices filled the air.

One of them said to the person wearing the colorful pendant, "Wailin, just lend me your telekinetic weapon for half a day."

The young man named Weilin flipped his hand, and a metal disc resembling an axe blade appeared in his hand, with strange secret patterns on it.

"This is a second-tier top-grade psychic weapon I just bought! I begged my family for ages to finally get the bank card for it. If I don't become a cosmic-level being, this psychic weapon will be with me for the rest of my life!"

He looked pained, but his voice grew louder, "60 billion Black Dragon Coins! That's enough to buy several Class C spaceships! I feel the pinch even when I swipe my card to spend it!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the restaurant all turned to look at them.

Luo Xia curled his lip and whispered, "This guy is just showing off on purpose, shouting so loudly, as if he's afraid no one can hear him."

"Haha, indeed." Gao Sheng laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Luo Feng, somewhat curious, asked Babata, "Babata, what tier of psychic weapons are my Sky Shuttle and Xia's Arc Blade Disc?"

"Both the Sky Shuttle and the Arc Blade Disc are third-tier psychic weapons, but due to the difference in the difficulty of control, the Sky Shuttle has too high requirements, so it is only a third-tier low-grade weapon; the Arc Blade Disc has relatively low requirements, so it is a third-tier mid-grade weapon."

Babata explained, "Both of your weapons are cosmic-level. Above the third tier, there are fourth and fifth tiers, corresponding to the Domain Lord and World Lord levels respectively."

Luo Feng suddenly realized.

Over there, Weilin was still showing off his telekinetic weapon. As he spoke, he manipulated the axe-blade-like telekinetic weapon to fly around on the second floor of the restaurant.

"As long as my psychic power amplitude reaches 18, I can unleash its second-order power."

The telekinetic weapon, under his control, flew up in the restaurant.

call!

A golden disc swept past a waitress, startling her so much that she leaned back slightly, her expression one of panic.

"Haha, don't be afraid! I have a lot of control over things."

Welling laughed triumphantly.

"Such exquisite control."

Two young men nearby seized the opportunity to flatter him.

Just then, from the direction the golden disc had flown, the blue-haired Mengbei girl emerged carrying a tray.

She was clearly unaware that telekinetic weapons would be flying around the restaurant.

I was instantly terrified.

The plate in her hand was not held firmly, and a dish of sauce spilled onto the golden plate, instantly making the telekinetic weapon dirty.

"My telekinetic weapon!"

Weilin screamed, his face changing drastically.

He piloted the golden disc back, and seeing the dark sauce smeared on it, he trembled with rage!

At this moment, Wellin felt just like someone on Earth who had just bought a new car, only to have someone scratch the hood of it—extremely angry and heartbroken!

"Damn it!" Wei Lin's gaze swept over the pale-faced Mengbei woman, his teeth clenched, and he manipulated the golden disc to fly over, seemingly intending to kill her. "Bitch, die!"

call out!

The golden disc streaked away at lightning speed!

"No!"

The blue-haired woman looked terrified and couldn't dodge in time.

Just then, Luo Xia vanished from his spot and instantly appeared in front of the Mengbei woman, catching the flying golden disc with his fingers.

laugh!

The mental power of this golden disc is extremely terrifying. Normally, only a cosmic-level powerhouse could hold it so easily.

Rorschach's strength is clearly not at the cosmic level.

However, his mental power was far superior to that of Welin. He could directly apply his mental power to the golden disc, which greatly weakened its kinetic energy, and then easily clamp it down with his hand!

"Hey, that's not how you show off. Do your parents know you're flaunting a 60 billion dollar telekinetic weapon?"

With a flick of his wrist, Luo Xia sent the golden disc flying out at breakneck speed.

To Welin's horrified gaze, the golden disc came to a stop just one centimeter in front of his neck.

Gudong!

Wellin swallowed hard, looking at Rorschach with a mixture of fear and anger.

"Who are you?!" he demanded.

Luo Xia smiled slightly, ignoring Wei Lin, and simply turned around to reach out his hand to the Mengbei woman lying on the ground.

The Mengbei woman looked up at Luo Xia, her eyes glistening with tears, making her appear incredibly pitiful.

She hesitated before placing her hand in Rorschach's, and then Rorschach's strong hand pulled her up from the ground.

"Thank you, sir," she said softly.

Over there, Gao Sheng laughed heartily and asked, "I told you you might have your eye on her! You've already played the hero and saved the damsel in distress! Brother, why don't you take her home?"

Luo Xia shook his head, led the blue-haired Mengbei woman back to their original seats, and ignored Wei Lin, whose face was ashen, the whole time.

"Do you even know who I am?!" Wei Lin stared intently at Luo Xia, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

Gao Sheng glared at Wei Lin with displeasure. "Who you are isn't important. What's important is that your behavior just now was a disgrace to the people of Qiulong Star, you know that? Arguing with a pitiful little girl who's not even a planetary-level being is really beneath you!"

"And who are you!" Wei Lin frowned as he looked at Gao Sheng.

"Promotion to Emperor Wei!"

Gao Sheng said casually.

"Emperor Wei?"

"They're from the Wei Di family!"

"They're from the Wei Di family!"

The other guests in the restaurant were surprised and started talking amongst themselves when they heard Gao Sheng announce his name.

Wei Lin's expression also changed. He looked at Gao Sheng Wei Di, seemingly wanting to apologize, but then felt that apologizing would be a loss of face. So he simply didn't say anything, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

"Haha, this is really interesting. To encounter something like this on my first visit to Qilong Star, tsk tsk..."

Gao Sheng laughed heartily.

Luo Xia asked Gao Sheng, "I hope my intervention just now didn't cause you any trouble, Brother Gao Sheng?"

"Hey, you've already called me 'brother,' what trouble could you possibly be causing?" Gao Sheng smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said boldly, "No problem, just a little brat. Let me tell you two brothers, on this Qiulong Star, there's no one I can't mess with!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia gave Gao Sheng a thumbs up.

Gao Sheng was taken aback. "What does this mean?"

Luo Feng explained with a wry smile, "On our planet, we use this gesture to praise someone's abilities."

"Oh, is that so? How interesting! Haha!"

Gao Sheng laughed again. He looked at the blue-haired woman standing to the side and asked Luo Xia, "Brother Luo Xia, are you really interested in her? If you are, just take her away."

Luo Xia shook his head and said with a smile, "My older brother and I will be wandering in the universe for a while due to arrangements made by our elders, so it's a bit inconvenient to have her with us."

"Wandering? Is this a trial arranged by the family? Never mind, I won't ask any more questions. Since you don't intend to have her, let her come with me. I don't have many servants on Qiulong Star anyway."

Gao Sheng said.

Luo Feng watched as the blue-haired woman's fate was decided in just a few words. He sighed inwardly and felt a sense of dread for the safety of Earth.

Compared to the universe, where powerful beings abound, Earth is far too weak.

If Earth is discovered, they might not escape the same fate as this Mengbei girl!
