Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 132 Purchasing Slaves

"Luo Feng, Luo Xia, now that we've finished eating, how about we go to the slave market?"

After finishing the meal, Gao Sheng suggested with a smile, "It wouldn't be bad to get a few slaves as servants and bodyguards."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged a glance and nodded. "Let's go take a look."

So the group got up and headed toward the slave market.

The Baiwei Restaurant was not far from the slave market.

They hadn't gone far when they arrived at the slave market.

This place covers an area of ​​over 300 square kilometers; if it were on Earth, it would definitely be a behemoth city.

But in this city with a history of over three million years, it is just a small part.

The slave market was packed with people. According to Gao Sheng's introduction, the slave market on Qiulong Star was the largest among the hundreds of star systems around it.

"These Iron Luo people are all very strong. Although they don't know how to cultivate and are a bit foolish, each of them has physical attributes comparable to a 'Ninth-Level Apprentice' martial artist! Each one only costs 20 Black Dragon Coins! Buy more and get a discount!"

As Rorschach and his companions walked through an area, they saw a slave trader shouting.

Luo Feng was quite shocked and speechless.

A ninth-level apprentice is equivalent to a war god-level powerhouse on Earth.

But here, they can be bought for just 20 Black Dragon Coins.

"Those below the planetary level cannot become citizens, so the prices are very low," Gao Sheng said as he walked. "Those below the planetary level, unless they are exceptionally beautiful women or have special qualities, will all cost around 10 Black Dragon Coins."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a spot not far away, saying, "Look, there are beautiful women all over there!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng followed Gao Sheng's finger and saw in the distance a group of incredibly beautiful women, looking pitiful, being sold as commodities behind a transparent shop window.

These women are truly beautiful. Their appearance is very similar to that of humans on Earth, except they have fluffy tails and ears that resemble cat ears...

"Each one costs 5000 Black Dragon Coins, and they are all top-notch beauties. Discounts are available for bulk orders."

Outside the shop window, a beautiful woman called out in a sweet voice.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng glanced at it briefly before looking away.

Because in their perception, there was a very strong aura of a powerful being being released in another plaza.

The two brothers found themselves drawn to this area, observing the slaves who exuded an aura of power.

"Planetary-level Rank 8 martial artist, 20,000 Black Dragon Coins."

"Planetary-level Rank 9 Spiritualist, 100,000 Black Dragon Coins..."

Luo Feng's expression was quite solemn.

A ninth-tier planetary-level mentalist would be virtually invincible on Earth! But here, he only needs 10 Black Dragon Coins…

This was a huge shock to him.

Gao Sheng, who had just walked over, said nonchalantly, "Planetary-level beings are at most thugs and servants, not very useful. In the universe, planetary-level beings are the best choice for bodyguards and servants."

He looked at the planetary and celestial level slaves displayed in the shop window. "Of course, the celestial level slaves aren't cheap either; the minimum price is 1 million Black Dragon Coins."

"Let's look ahead, there are powerful beings at the Hengxing level over there," Gao Sheng said, leading Luo Feng and Luo Xia forward.

After walking a few steps, they arrived at another area where 18 martial artists and mentalists stood, all of whom were powerful beings at the Eternal Star level.

They are one martial artist and one mentalist of each of the nine ranks of the Eternal Star level: first, second, third... ninth!

Upon seeing Luo Xia and his group arrive, these star-level slaves proactively released their auras to demonstrate their power!

Rorschach frowned as he looked at the slaves.

Gao Sheng muttered, "So strong! My legs are trembling a little."

Luo Feng looked at the slaves and nodded slightly. "They are very strong."

He looked at the prices offered for these slaves and said with some surprise, "A first-level martial artist at the Eternal Star level is really cheap, only 100 million. A fourth-level Eternal Star level martial artist is only 2000 million? Tsk, a ninth-level Eternal Star level martial artist is asking for 50 billion."

Gao Sheng, a man of wide experience, commented, "Their prices here are quite reasonable."

Just then, a slave trader trotted over, bowed, and asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, what are your plans regarding these Star-level slaves?"

Gao Sheng looked at the slave trader and said, "I already have the Hengxing level slaves." He then changed the subject and asked, "I heard that there were cosmic level slaves for sale on Qiulong Star last time?"

Rorschach stroked his chin upon hearing about the "cosmic-level slave."

Luo Feng, on the other hand, was startled.

According to Babata, a galaxy can only produce one cosmic-level powerhouse when it develops normally. That is a true powerhouse, and can be considered a local emperor in a galaxy!

It's unbelievable that a cosmic-level powerhouse is being sold into slavery.

Upon hearing Gao Sheng's words, the slave trader smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you wish to purchase cosmic-level slaves? I can have my superiors arrange it."

Gao Sheng smiled and said, "I was just asking. I can't afford a cosmic-level slave."

Rorschach then asked, "What's the typical price for cosmic-level slaves here?"

Gao Sheng and the slave trader looked over at Luo Xia, both looking somewhat surprised. The slave trader said:

"Sir, because capturing a cosmic-level powerhouse alive is extremely difficult, and implanting a slave chip is even more difficult, the price of a cosmic-level slave is measured in 'trillions of Black Dragon Coins,' which is more expensive than a planet."

Luo Xia nodded, then said helplessly, "I was thinking of buying one if it cost a hundred billion, but since it costs trillions, I'll pass."

Upon hearing this, Gao Sheng and the slave traders were secretly surprised. To casually spend hundreds of billions to buy slaves meant that one must be quite wealthy. No wonder they could afford to hire Silver Guards as bodyguards!

The slave trader chuckled, "Sir, if you don't want to buy cosmic-level slaves, you can buy more celestial-level ninth-tier slaves. If you're lucky, one of your slaves might break through to the cosmic level, then you'll have made a profit."

"You're kidding me!" Gao Sheng glared. "A ninth-tier Hengxing level cultivator breaking through to the cosmic level? One in a hundred thousand?"

The slave trader laughed, "That's just what I said."

Rorschach waved his hand and said, "Take us to see the slaves at the Eternal Star level."

The slave trader's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me. What we are displaying here is only a small portion of the Constant Star level slaves. You can see more through virtual projection."

Gao Sheng shook his head. "If you want to buy slaves, I won't follow you. Luo Feng, Luo Xia, let's part ways here. We'll stay in touch in the virtual universe!"

"Okay, virtual universe connection established!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng nodded, bid farewell to Gao Sheng, and followed the slave trader to a magnificent reception room.

"Gentlemen, you are free to access and view all the information on our slaves."

After the slave trader entered the room, he immediately waved his hand, filling the entire room with projections of various slaves, including detailed information on their appearance and height, as well as their strength and race.

"Babata, time to get to work."

Rorschach called out Babata from his wristband. With so many slaves, he and his elder brother weren't familiar with the situation and probably wouldn't be able to choose a good one.

But Babata is different.

She possesses a vast database containing information on most races in the universe, which can help Luo Xia and Luo Feng quickly select suitable slaves.

"Let me ask first, are you planning to buy a few slaves, or more?" Babata asked.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged a glance.

Luo Feng said, "Let's buy more. We'll definitely be venturing into space a lot in the future, and having more star-level slaves will help protect Earth and our families."

"If you want to buy more slaves, it is best to choose slaves of the same race. This will ensure that there will be no discord or friction between the slaves and that they can be more united."

Babata said.

Rorschach said, "We'll do it your way!"

Babata glanced at the slave records before her, a stream of data flashing in her eyes, and then she said, "Among this batch of slaves, the only one of relatively good race is a Black Mongol. This, this, this..."

Babata began to choose.

Luo Feng synchronized his actions and said to the slave trader waiting to the side, "These three are fifth-tier level psychic masters!"

The slave trader happily noted it down, "Okay!"

Each of these fifth-tier, star-level mental cultivators is worth 2.4 million Black Dragon Coins, so three of them would be worth 7.2 million Black Dragon Coins.

Big business!

After talking to the slave traders, Luo Feng added, "There are also these three seventh-level spirit masters at the Eternal Star level."

The slave trader was taken aback upon hearing this, "Three level-seven, constant-star mentalists?"

A seventh-tier, eternal-star mentalist costs 15 billion Black Dragon Coins!

Three of them would be 45 billion Black Dragon Coins!

These two gentlemen are truly wealthy!

Luo Feng looked at the slave trader. "Did you write it down?"

The slave trader nodded hurriedly, "I've got it, I've got it."

He was overjoyed.

If this deal goes through today, his bonus will be substantial.

"Huh?" Babata suddenly paused, surprised. "I didn't expect there to be slaves of this race here?"

"What race?" Rorschach asked.

"From the Spirit Fox Clan."

As Babata spoke, a projection of a slave's information appeared in front of Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

"Their race is quite famous throughout the universe, because they are known for their beautiful women and their abundance of psychic magic users. Almost every member of the Spirit Fox Clan, once they grow up, becomes a powerful illusionist psychic magic user."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng looked at the projection and found that the slave had fox ears and three fluffy fox tails on his back. He was incredibly beautiful, charming, and seductive.

"Because the Spirit Fox Clan is known for its beautiful women and handsome men, as well as illusion-type mentalists, their home planet was destroyed by powerful beings a long, long time ago. The remaining Spirit Fox Clan members either wandered the universe or were captured and sold into slavery."

"There are very few of them; I didn't expect to see them here."

Babata said.

"A third-tier, Eternal Star level, and the price is 60 billion Black Dragon Coins?" Luo Xia glanced at it, somewhat shocked, and turned to the slave trader to ask, "She's just a third-tier, Eternal Star level mentalist, why is she so expensive?"

The slave trader laughed and said, "Sir, this is a young girl from the Spirit Fox Clan! Even if she's not a martial artist or a mentalist, her looks alone would fetch tens of thousands of Black Dragon Coins. What's more, she's a third-tier, Eternal Star-level mentalist. 60 billion Black Dragon Coins is not expensive at all."

Babata said, "Actually, the price is reasonable, but the value of the Spirit Fox Clan lies not in their stunning beauty, but in their illusion magic."

"They are arguably the most skilled illusionist race in the universe. Even if their strength is only at the Hengxing level, their illusions can still fall for even the most powerful cosmic beings with weak willpower!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia nodded to his elder brother Luo Feng, who immediately said to the slave trader, "We want this slave too."

"No problem." The slave trader's mouth was practically splitting into a grin. These fox clan slaves were hard to sell because the price tag was too high.

After all, looks can't put food on the table.

But if the price is too low, the boss will lose money.

These fox-race slaves were also slave traders' bosses who spent a lot of money to acquire them from other star systems.

If we don't sell for 60 billion Black Dragon Coins, we won't make any money.

"Hmm..." Luo Feng looked at the slave trader and asked, "What kind of discount can you give us?"

"9.5% off! That's the biggest discount ever!"

"The slave trader shouted."

"Alright, you can also throw in 10 Constant-level Tier 1 cultivators, five martial artists, and five mentalists. Then give us 1000 Planetary-level Tier 9 mentalists!"

"Sir!"

Upon hearing this, the slave trader wore an expression as if his entire family had died, his eyes wide. "I can't send that many! You, you're going to kill me!"

10 Eternal Star Level 1.

Half is for martial artists and half for spiritual masters, worth 2000 million Black Dragon Coins.

1000 planetary-level ninth-tier mental cultivators, worth 1 million.

"One price, 107 billion Black Dragon Coins." Luo Feng looked at the slave trader. "The slaves I selected earlier, plus the 'add-ons' I mentioned earlier."

Sweat beaded on the slave trader's forehead as he frantically calculated in his mind. Finally, he nodded, "Alright!"

If you really have to calculate it by price, the amount Luo Feng gave was a bit too little.

However, some of the slaves sold were actually priced inflated, so in the end, slave traders also made a profit.

"By the way, those additional races will also be chosen from the Black Mongol race. I will pay a deposit of 10 billion first, and then I will notify you to send the slaves to the planetary docking port, where we will complete the transaction."

Luo Feng said.

The slave trader smiled broadly, "No problem."

Luo Feng nodded and left the slave market with Luo Xia.

"Next, the two of you will need to register at the Qianwu Dojo."

Babata reminded him.

Joining the Qianwu Dojo was Huyanbo's arrangement for his disciples before his death.

He was hunted down by his enemies because he was too solitary and had no friends or power, which ultimately led to his tragic death.

Therefore, Huyanbo learned from his mistakes and made his disciples join forces with forces that had few restrictions.

In this way... if Luo Feng and Luo Xia offend any enemies in the future, those enemies will be mindful of the power of the organization they joined and will not act too recklessly.

There's not much to say about joining the Ganwu Dojo.

According to Babata's explanation, these so-called Qianwu Dojos are all "schools" built by the Qianwu Empire in its various subordinate universe countries.

Within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, any martial artist or spiritualist who reaches the planetary level can join the Qianwu Dojo.

No testing or other requirements were needed; there were no barriers to joining the Qianwu Dojo. Luo Xia and Luo Feng each paid 1000 Black Dragon Coins and became disciples of the Qianwu Dojo.

The two did not linger at the Qianwu Dojo, but flew directly towards the city gate, saying goodbye to Gao Sheng while contacting the merchant at the slave market.

"Yes, right, we'll set off immediately. We'll come and meet up with you, and then we'll go to the planetary docking port together."

After making contact, Luo Feng led Luo Xia towards the city gate of the North District.

Before long, they arrived at a restaurant very close to the city gate.

Guided by the waiter, Luo Feng and Luo Xia arrived at a luxurious private room on the sixth floor.

There was already one person sitting in the private room.

Behind this man stood the former slave trader and two bodyguards in black uniforms.

"The person sitting there is a third-level Star-level Spiritualist, and the two bodyguards behind him are ninth-level Star-level Spiritualists."

Babata said.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng remained expressionless and looked at the people sitting there.

"Hello, my name is Wu Ci, and I'm the supervisor on Qiulong Star's side."

"Hello, Mr. Wu Ci, it's a pleasure to meet you." Luo Feng stepped forward and greeted him with a smile. "If there's nothing else, let's set off immediately."

"The client's demands are our orders," Wu Ci said with a slight smile. "The spaceship is already waiting outside the city. Gentlemen, please."

He led Luo Xia and Luo Feng into the spaceship's cabin, which had been specially decorated to receive guests.

"May I ask where you two gentlemen are from?"

After everyone sat down, Wu Ci asked a question with great curiosity.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient to tell you."

"Oh, I was being presumptuous. Please forgive me, gentlemen."

Wu Ci quickly apologized.

He only occasionally gets lucky enough to encounter such large orders as Luo Feng and Luo Xia's, where they purchase over 100 billion Black Dragon Coins at once.

Wu Ci dared not anger Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

After all, this kind of business might happen again, right?

"The spaceship has arrived at the planetary docking port."

While they were eating and drinking, the spaceship arrived at its docking port.

Wu Ci stood up and said to Luo Xia and Luo Feng, "Gentlemen, the spaceship has arrived. Let's begin the slave transfer now. I wonder if you two..."

Luo Feng stood up. "It's me."

Wu Ci nodded. "Because it is the highest level of master recognition authority, from now on, our slave traders can no longer control these slaves. All control belongs to you, Mr. Luo. Therefore, it may take a little time to change the master recognition authority of these more than a thousand slaves."

"Um."

Luo Feng nodded.

Wu Ci led the way, saying, "The slaves are all in the hall on the second floor below. Gentlemen, please follow me."

Upon entering the second lower level of the spaceship, in a spacious hall with a diameter of over a hundred meters, stood a large number of slaves, some burly, some aloof, and some alluringly beautiful.

Aside from their uniforms, you couldn't tell they were slaves at all.

"Mr. Luo, please stand at the front," Wu Ci said. "The whole process will take a little while."

"OK."

Luo Feng nodded, walked to the front of the hall, and looked at the slaves standing straight.

Among these slaves was a woman with three fox tails. She was very tall, about 1.8 meters, with long, shapely legs, a curvaceous figure, and a beautiful face. She was the fox clan slave that Babata had discovered earlier.

beep!

A strange sound rang out.

Instantly, all the slaves' eyes became somewhat lifeless. In a corner of the hall, Luo Xia, standing behind Wu Ci, saw Wu Ci arranging for his men to quickly operate the instruments, and some of the instruments were pointed at Luo Feng, seemingly collecting information about him.

Time passed second by second.

Gradually.

The slaves' eyes lit up one by one, regaining their sparkle.

"Owner!"

All of the thousands of slaves bowed to Luo Feng, speaking with utmost respect.
