Devouring Stars, becoming Luo Feng's golden finger

The small Class C spaceship still needed over ten minutes to reach Earth.

So, after Luo Feng returned to Luo Family Manor, he summoned a male slave and instructed him:

“Some guests are coming from outer space, Meng Wu. Go and communicate with them. Remember, let's be friendly first. If they have malicious intentions, I authorize you to capture them alive and bring them back.”

The tall and sturdy man called 'Meng Wu' showed a hint of excitement in his dark red eyes upon hearing his master's order, his fangs protruding from his grinning mouth. “Don't worry, Master, I will definitely treat them hospitably first, hehe.”

After Meng Wu left, he went to the plaza where small spaceships were parked at the manor, specifically choosing a Class B9 red small spaceship and flew towards outer space.

Hundreds of small spaceships were parked in the plaza, with only a few Class B ships scattered among them, the vast majority being Class C ships.

“That Meng Wu.” Luo Feng said, somewhat helplessly.

Meng Wu was part of a batch of Black Meng tribe slaves brought back by Jin Er two years ago. Apart from having fangs and dark red eyes, the Black Meng tribe's appearance wasn't much different from the citizens of the Yan Huang Federation. This race possessed strong physical qualities and some talent in spiritual cultivation, resulting in a high proportion of spiritualists within the race.

But because of this, they attracted the greedy cosmic slave-trading forces, who ultimately enslaved the Black Meng tribe's home planet for generations.

After all, at the same level, the selling price of a spiritualist was three times higher than that of a warrior.

“Captain, a blue planet has been detected ahead!”

The advanced AI in the form of a little girl said excitedly inside the saucer-shaped spaceship.

Then, it projected the planet it had discovered onto the spaceship.

“What an intoxicating color.” Captain 'Bro Nolan' practically moaned, his eyes burning with passion as he looked at the blue planet not far away.

This was an unclaimed life planet. Even if there was nothing on it, simply submitting it to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would earn a reward of at least 10 billion Black Dragon coins, and up to 100 billion!

And given the special nature of this planet, it would definitely be the highest reward tier, which was 100 billion Black Dragon coins!

100 billion Black Dragon coins! Bro Nolan gulped. This wealth might not be much to a universe-level powerhouse, but for him, only at the sixth level of the Star-level, it was a huge fortune. With this money to buy cultivation resources, he could quickly cultivate to the ninth level of the Star-level, buy a Class C spaceship a hundred times larger than his current one, and still have a large amount of wealth left over!

The Black Dragon X81 model C5 grade pure metal spaceship that Luo Feng initially obtained was only worth over 10 billion Black Dragon coins. If it were replaced with an equally sized C5 alloy spaceship, it would only cost a little over 1 billion Black Dragon coins to purchase.

“Master, an unknown spaceship is approaching us!”

Suddenly, an anxious voice interrupted Bro's beautiful fantasy, causing his face to darken.

“Project it.”

A red small spaceship appeared on the projection screen.

“Master, after analysis, this red small spaceship is a Class B spaceship.” The little girl AI quickly reported.

“Class B?” Bro's face instantly relaxed upon hearing this, but he still looked somewhat displeased.

Because the appearance of a spaceship meant that this life planet had likely been discovered and occupied by someone before them.

“Check in the empire's official planet territories whether there is any information about a life planet in a void area.” Bro said in a deep voice.

The spaceship's advanced AI immediately followed Bro's orders and began searching for newly added life planet information in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

As long as it appeared on this list, it meant that it was not an unclaimed planet.

At the thought of this, Bro's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

“Master, I found it. The void area of the Milky Way registered a new life planet five years ago. The planet's name is 'Earth', and the coordinate address is the same as the one in front of us.”

Bang!

Bro slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, his face twisted.

Damn it, what terrible luck! Someone beat them to it!

The other seven crew members didn't dare to say a word when they saw the captain's anger.

“A reward of 100 billion Black Dragon coins, and treasures possibly left behind by super powerhouses...” The more Bro thought about it, the angrier he became, almost bursting into tears.

If they stepped onto a planet registered with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire without receiving an invitation, they would be hunted down as space pirates.

At that time, they could only flee into the universe, avoiding the range covered by the virtual universe and specifically running to remote places.

“Captain, we can test the waters with this planet's lord.” A crew member cleverly suggested.

“Maybe the lord who bought this life planet is ignorant and doesn't know that this is a planet once ruled by a super powerhouse... We might have a chance to pick up a bargain from him.”

Bro's eyes lit up upon hearing this. That made sense.

At this time, the red small spaceship that Meng Wu was aboard also arrived at the location of Bro's spaceship.

“Deactivate stealth and release a signal to them.” Bro's expression changed from cloudy to clear, and he ordered.

Anyway, judging from the look of things, they already knew about their arrival, so there was no need to be sneaky, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstandings.

On the red spaceship, Meng Wu received the signal message sent by the other party.

“A merchant group? Hoping to come to Earth for inspection to see if there is an opportunity to seek cooperation?”

Meng Wu glanced at the message content, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He originally thought he would be able to fight.

Although disappointed, the matter was not yet completed, Meng Wu immediately reported the request of this foreign spaceship to his master.

Soon, Meng Wu received a reply from his master.

“Bring them to the manor in Australia.”

“Yes.” Meng Wu replied respectfully.

Since the Great Migration, Earth was full of idle land, coupled with the increasing number of slaves, so Luo Feng placed a manor in various scenic spots around the world.

Sometimes, he would take his children and wife on vacation to live there for a while.

“Hiss, this manor is a specially customized high-end luxury manor, right?”

Bro, with two Star-level subordinates, followed Meng Wu and appeared here. Seeing this manor, Bro, as an elite member of the Nolan family with extensive knowledge, immediately saw the clues.

The materials used in the manor were all Class B alloys. Such a large manor alone would cost at least several hundred million Black Dragon coins in alloy costs, plus various decorations and energy defense systems, the whole set would cost at least several billion Black Dragon coins.

As expected of a rich man who spent 3 trillion Black Dragon coins to buy this planet. Bro thought to himself.

However, the careful Bro also noticed that although there were slaves along the way, those slaves were not very strong, most of them were at the Planet-level.

The only Star-level one was the Black Meng tribe slave who led the way.

“Fifth level of the Star-level. If I suddenly attack, I should be able to kill him instantly.” Bro thought secretly, his mind slightly moved.

But soon, Bro dismissed the idea.

Because Luo Feng appeared in front of him.

“Master, they claim to be from the Qingyun Merchant Group and want to meet you to see if there is an opportunity for cooperation.” Meng Wu stepped forward and introduced Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded, then looked at the other party with a smile.

“Welcome, three guests, from afar. Shall we go in and have a seat?”

“Okay, okay, we will listen to your arrangement, Lord.” Bro responded quickly, reacting from Luo Feng's strength, his heart heavy.

“This planet's lord has actually reached the ninth level of the Star-level.”

Bro originally had some other ideas, but now seeing Luo Feng's strength, he immediately dispelled them all.

A group of people sat down in a pavilion, and maids came to serve tea and snacks.

After Bro and the two crew members who followed him took a sip of tea, their minds were immediately calmed, and their bodies were slightly strengthened. They couldn't help but look at each other.

Damn it, this is too rich!

Being able to strengthen the body of a Star-level powerhouse, and also calm the mind and relieve mental fatigue, the value of this cup of tea is probably not less than 100,000 Black Dragon coins.

“What, is it hard to drink?” Seeing their shocked expressions, Luo Feng asked with a chuckle.

“No, it's very good, but we are a little shocked that this special drink called 'tea' can actually strengthen the body and calm the mind.” Bro said humbly.

Facing someone stronger than him and especially rich, the usually proud Bro could still be flexible.

Luo Feng smiled faintly and said, “This is a specialty of Earth, called 'Pu'er tea'. There is a lot of it. If your Qingyun Merchant Group needs it, I can trade some with you.”

“Specialty, a lot of it?” Bro's eyes lit up.

The main thing that cosmic adventurers do is explore the unknown and obtain opportunities, and this includes specialty trading.

In short, as long as they can make money, cosmic adventurers can do almost anything!

Slave traders, reselling goods, mercenary thugs, etc., they will do anything.

“Then what is the price of this Pu'er tea?” Bro asked, pressing. At this time, he really wanted to try to see if he could earn money by reselling Pu'er tea, a specialty of Earth.

“The selling price of one gram of tea is 50,000 Black Dragon coins. How much do you want?” Luo Feng said.

An hour later, Luo Feng looked at Bro and others who were leaving on their spaceship, his expression subtle.

Weren't they supposed to be hostile?

He was ready to kill them, but he didn't expect that in the end, the two sides would friendly negotiate a small business deal.

Well, it was indeed a small business deal. The other party only bought 4000 grams of Pu'er tea, which is four kilograms, a small business deal of 200 million Black Dragon coins.

Luo Feng could still remember the scene of the other party gritting his teeth and transferring 200 million Black Dragon coins to him.

Obviously, this money was already a huge fortune for the other party.

“I really admire you.”

In the inner space, Bai Chen was also speechless at Luo Feng's operation.

He remembered that the task he issued was 'to make the Nolan family submit or destroy them'.

But now like this... how can he fish out the big fish behind them?

“Bai, you can't say that. After all, the other party was indeed very friendly. Even if I know that the other party may have ulterior motives, I can't directly kill the other party just because they had such thoughts, right? We Chinese have an old saying, called judging by actions, not by intentions.” Luo Feng said helplessly.

He actually understood what 'Bai' meant, and even he guessed that 'Bai' might have precognitive abilities and could know what would happen in the future.

Otherwise, why could 'Bai' accurately know so many things?

For example, the Yunmo Star inheritance.

And the Golden Horned Beast egg.

And the current cosmic adventurer guests.

“Bai, can you explain to me clearly what these cosmic adventurers will do to me in the future?” Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, but still asked this question, but he quickly added,

“If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. I'm just curious.”

“...” Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, and finally said,

“What these cosmic adventurers will do to you in the future, I really don't know.”

“Because... the future has already changed.”

The future has been changed? Luo Feng's heart moved, and then he asked, “Then if the future has not been changed? What would happen?”

Just after asking this question, Luo Feng suddenly reacted. Because he thought of the Yunmo Star inheritance on Earth, and also thought of various alien ruins, the E9-level mechanical race spaceship, the Zerg mother nest...

And the arrival of the Golden Horned Beast.

Once these are discovered by cosmic adventurers, and his strength is extremely weak, what will be the result?

It goes without saying.

In short, it will definitely not be like the friendly chat and business talk today.

“Just as you thought, in the unchanged future, Earth will be invaded by the Nolan family, and humans on Earth can only hide in survival bases and eke out a living, and your family will be captured and used to threaten you. And the source of everything is these cosmic adventurers who arrived today.

Of course, in the end, you will turn the tide and save Earth from the fire and water, and your family will not be harmed.” Bai Chen said quite simply.

It didn't matter whether he said it or not, after all, the things Bai Chen said were already phantoms, things that Luo Feng would never be able to touch again in his life.

“Is that so...” Luo Feng was silent for a long time.

Although he learned the situation of the unchanged future from Bai Chen, all he had at this time was rejoicing.

Even if the result was good, his family must have suffered greatly in this process, and the humans on Earth were even more desperate.

Perhaps many humans on Earth died in this battle.

“Thank you, Bai.” Luo Feng said sincerely.

Bai Chen did not respond to this.

Luo Feng looked up at the starry sky and universe, his eyes a little complicated.

After learning these messages from Bai, it was absolutely impossible to say that his heart was still calm.

Even Luo Feng had a hint of killing intent towards those cosmic adventurers.

Why not just kill them all? Anyway, they are a group of bandits with ulterior motives...

“Huff.” Luo Feng took a deep breath, restrained his killing intent, and slowly calmed down.

On Mars.

The Golden Horned Beast's true body slowly opened its eyes, and a strong killing intent flashed in its pupils.

Compared to the Earthling's true body being able to quickly restrain negative emotions and calm down, the Golden Horned Beast's true body was affected by the Golden Horned Beast's bloodline, and its personality became more indifferent and bloodthirsty.

Although the consciousness is the same consciousness, the soul and body are different after all. It's like a man suddenly turning into a woman. His consciousness hasn't changed, but over time, under the subtle influence of female hormones, this man's personality and behavior may gradually become feminine.

And Luo Feng's situation is much more serious than this, because the Golden Horned Beast is not only affecting him physically, but even his soul is deeply affected.

The terrifying killing intent lingered around the Golden Horned Beast for a long time before slowly receding, but the violent emotions in his heart still hadn't disappeared.

After sensing this situation, Luo Feng couldn't help but frown.

"Suppressing emotions isn't a good solution. What you need is a hearty slaughter."

"Go participate in the universe apprentice mercenary assessment."

Bai Chen's voice sounded in Luo Feng's mind.

There are only a few months left before the treasure in the Canglan Starfield opens.

"You're right." Luo Feng nodded slightly.

On Mars, the nearly eight-kilometer-long Golden Horned Beast roared to the sky, its giant hooves stomping on the ground, directly causing the continental shelf to shake, with countless cracks and abysses spreading across tens of thousands of miles.

Universe level seven!

After continuously devouring fifty-six times the metal combination for nearly three years, the Golden Horned Beast has risen from the original universe level four to universe level seven. Moreover, it is at the peak of level seven, not far from reaching universe level eight.

From universe level seven to universe level nine peak, each small level would normally take the Golden Horned Beast 120 years to grow, but with the fifty-six times faster growth...

"In just over four years, I can reach the peak of universe level nine. In fourteen years, I can break through to domain lord." The Golden Horned Beast's true form looked up at the starry sky, its cold beast eyes not knowing what it was thinking.

It was indeed tired of staying on this small planet.

Since it is named after a Starry Sky Beast, it is naturally yearning for the universe by instinct.

December 2062. On this day, Luo Feng's Earthling true form once again embarked on a journey into the universe.

This time out, it won't be just a few hours or days, but at least a few months.

Qiu Long Star.

Luo Feng's figure appeared in the slave market.

"Bai, why did you bring me to the slave market? If I want to buy slaves, I can directly place an order through the virtual network, which is more convenient and faster."

Luo Feng looked at the noisy slave market and asked in his heart with some doubts.

"There are two slaves here who have a connection with you," Bai Chen said with a smile.

Slaves who have a connection with him? Luo Feng thought of Bai Chen's ability to foresee the future, and his heart suddenly moved.

Could it be two slaves with extremely strong potential?

High achievements in the future?

With expectant thoughts, Luo Feng stepped into the slave market, and finally, under Bai Chen's guidance, found a slave trader named 'Wu La'.

"Tell him to buy all the slaves in his hands who have reached the ninth level of the Star rank," Bai Chen said.

Luo Feng followed Bai Chen's instructions and had a conversation with the slave trader named 'Wu La'.

"Want to buy all the Star level nine slaves in my hand?!" Wu La's fat trembled, and a glint flashed in his small eyes, his tone becoming extremely enthusiastic.

"Mr. Luo, please come with me. There are special boxes inside where we can discuss this matter in detail."

Following Wu La's heavy steps, the two quickly entered a small castle.

As soon as he entered, Luo Feng frowned.

On both sides stood a row of scantily clad beautiful female slaves, whose fiery attire could arouse the desires of almost all men.

Luo Feng realized that what Wu La said about 'discussing matters' was a bit off, and quickly stopped, "Let's talk outside. I don't like the atmosphere here."

Wu La was stunned, glanced at the female slaves on both sides, and then said to Luo Feng with a smile, "It seems Mr. Luo doesn't like this scene. In that case, why don't you leave?!"

The first sentence was still a flattering tone, and in the second half, Wu La coldly shouted at the female slaves on both sides.

These female slaves trembled and then quickly left.

To this, Luo Feng could only sigh secretly in his heart. He was powerless to do anything about this kind of thing.

Even now, he himself was buying slaves, and his family also had a large number of slaves to protect and serve them.

"Mr. Luo, please sit down," Wu La said with a smile, then clicked on his optical brain wristband and pulled out a virtual screen list for Luo Feng to see, while patiently introducing,

"Mr. Luo, you've come to the right person to buy slaves from me. On Qiu Long Star, if I, Wu La, dare to say that I run the second largest slave force, no one dares to say the first. Look, we have eight Star level nine slaves just in the Silver Blue Empire, and even further in the Xingyao Holy Radiance Empire, where we also have seven. And..."

"In short, within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, give me ten days and I can transfer one hundred and twenty Star level nine slaves for you! Give me a month and I can transfer eight hundred and sixty-one Star level nine slaves for you!" Wu La's tone was full of confidence.

Being able to mobilize so many Star level nine slaves in a short period of time was indeed not something an ordinary slave trader could do.

This Wu La must have a universe level powerhouse background behind him, and not just an ordinary universe level, maybe even more than one, otherwise his power couldn't spread throughout the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

On Qiu Long Star, where the strongest is only a domain lord, universe level powerhouses are still very rare, and it is estimated that one hundred is a lot, so Wu La is so confident for a reason.

"Five days. I will buy as many slaves as you can transfer within five days."

Under Bai Chen's instructions, Luo Feng calmly replied.

"Five days? That... is it too short," Wu La asked tentatively.

"Just five days." Luo Feng's tone did not change, glancing at Wu La.

The fat merchant narrowed his small eyes and said with a chuckle, "Okay, five days it is. We will definitely do our best to transfer the goods for Mr. Luo, but what about the deposit?"

Finally, after giving a deposit of 10 billion Black Dragon coins, Luo Feng was respectfully sent out of the slave market by Wu La.

The market price of a Star level nine warrior slave is 5 billion Black Dragon coins, so 10 billion as a deposit is reasonable.

Anyway, with Luo Feng's current rate of wealth accumulation, this little money is just a matter of a few minutes.

During the time it took to negotiate this deal, Jin Er and Jin San may have earned Luo Feng at least several hundred billion Black Dragon coins.

This is not an exaggeration at all. After all, with the virtual universe, the goods and cargo of Jin Er and Jin San can be sold throughout the entire human territory, but in reality, these goods have not even left the Black Dragon Mountain Empire before being completely digested.

After all, the number of universe level powerhouses in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is calculated in millions, let alone Star levels. The market scale is extremely large, even if the scale of the chambers of commerce founded by Jin Er and Jin San expands a hundred times, they can easily eat it all.

Five days later, in a manor that Luo Feng bought on Qiu Long Star, he met 82 Star level nine slaves.

Originally, Wu La said that he could only transfer 120 in ten days, but in the end, he transferred 82 in five days... It seems that Wu La worked very hard in order to earn more money.

Luo Feng stood in front of the 82 Star level nine slaves, his expression calm, while secretly asking Bai Chen in his heart.

"Bai, which two slaves have a connection with me?"

Luo Feng's gaze swept over these slaves, and coupled with the fact that he himself had seen the detailed information of these slaves, he had some suspected candidates in his mind.

"Tie Nanhe, Ao Gu," Bai Chen replied.

Upon receiving the answer, Luo Feng instantly locked onto two people in the crowd.

Tie Nanhe, a warrior, was a sturdy man with sunken eyes and three scales on his forehead. Otherwise, he was no different from an Earthling.

Ao Gu, a spiritual master, was an old man in appearance, extremely thin and withered, with a messy head of dark red hair.

"According to the information, Tie Nanhe's strength only ranks ninth among these slaves, and Ao Gu ranks fourth, but... do these two really have great potential?" Luo Feng's gaze lingered on a strong man and an old man for a moment, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Why couldn't he see anything special about these two?

They hadn't comprehended a domain either.

Could it be... that their strength was hidden?

"Tie Nanhe, Ao Gu, the two of you come and attack me together, without holding back your strength," Luo Feng directly ordered.

A few minutes later, Ao Gu and Tie Nanhe lay weakly on the ground, with shock in the depths of their eyes.

At first, the two of them had held back, fearing that they would hurt their master, but they didn't expect that as they released all their strength, their master remained calm and composed, without even changing his position.

Then, with a light tap of his fingers, he sent them flying, leaving them weak all over.

Could it be that their master was a universe level powerhouse?

Tie Nanhe and Ao Gu looked at each other, and the other slaves who were watching the battle also speculated in their hearts.

"Strange, very ordinary." Luo Feng was still thinking about the problems with Tie Nanhe and Ao Gu, feeling puzzled. If the strength of these two was compared to the most ordinary Star level nine, then they would be relatively outstanding. If three or five people fought them, Tie Nanhe and Ao Gu would have a chance to win.

But in Luo Feng's eyes, that was it, weak, very weak, they hadn't even mastered a domain, nor had they cultivated any powerful secret techniques. The only thing that was still good was that they had very rich combat experience, and it was clear that they had experienced countless life-and-death battles.

"Indeed very ordinary," Bai Chen said lazily.

Luo Feng:?

"Did I say that the two of them have great potential?" Bai Chen rolled his eyes and asked.

The reason why he asked Luo Feng to find these two slaves was simply because he had read the original work and felt that these two slaves were very loyal. Tie Nanhe even died for Luo Feng, so he only mentioned it.
