Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

The peak genius battle is over.

Following the host of this peak genius battle, the immortal gods leading the 1004 universe countries also left one after another.

And Li Qi and other geniuses who had just entered the core layer of the virtual universe company still stayed here, because a staff member stopped them and said that there was something to discuss.

A moment later.

In the central square, the No. 2 restaurant conference room, Li Qi and 1,000 other geniuses sat here.

"It's nice to meet you all. Let me introduce myself. My name is Che Ke."

An old man with a height of more than three meters and white hair and beard stood in front of the conference room and smiled: "Because my virtual universe company will arrange a spaceship to pick you up, please write the exact planet address on the paper in front of you and let us pick you up."

Hearing this, Li Qi picked up a pen and paper and wrote down his address, "Qianwu Universe Country, Lava Star Field, Red Stone Galaxy, Lava Emperor Star."

1,000 geniuses were writing.

Suddenly, someone asked loudly: "Is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just tell us the assembly point and take a spaceship there ourselves?"

Someone echoed: "Yes! We can take a spaceship there ourselves."

"Because the journey passes through many universe countries, it is very, very far away, and many civilian spaceships are slow in the "dark universe". It will take a long time to reach our company's headquarters in the universe." Che Ke in front of the conference room explained: "In order to save everyone's time, naturally our virtual universe company will arrange the best spaceship to pick you up!"

"The 1,000 people present this time are about 1.6 billion light years away from our virtual universe company's headquarters in the universe." Che Ke smiled and said, "The distance ratio between the dark universe and the original universe is 1:1008100 times. Even if you travel at 1 times the speed of light in the dark universe, it will take about 160 years to arrive."

After the voice fell, the originally lively conference room suddenly became quiet.

People sighed: "1.6 billion light years away, it takes 160 years to travel by spaceship, this is too far!"

It is indeed far, but this is also because the universe is too big.

For example, when Li Qi was in the Star Training Camp, sometimes he had to travel for ten days or half a month to reach the mission location for a mission. This is just the space shuttle within the Lava Star Region. You must know that there are only more than 400 galaxies in the Lava Star Region!

This is just the star region!

There are even larger "star regions" above the star region. Each star region of a universe country is extremely vast! It is not an exaggeration that the universe country farthest from the headquarters is 1.6 billion light years away.

"It's not that simple!" Li Qi leaned back in his chair and shook his head slightly after filling in the address. "Each of the spaceships sent by the Virtual Universe Company to pick up the core members is an F-class, and it is a special F-class one.

"Even if you are immortal, getting an F-class spaceship of that level is enough to reduce your wealth by half."

Che Ke smiled and said, "It's not impossible for you to take your own spaceship to the headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company, but there are three major disadvantages."

"1. The speed is slow and it takes too long."

"2. The energy consumed by the spaceship for the long-distance flight is amazing."

"3. The most important point is that flying in the dark universe is not safe in some special areas. There will be space pirates. There will even be looting by other races. Everyone here, safety is very important."

"Now the speed of civilian spaceships in the dark universe is only several times the speed of light, and it still takes a long time to fly over long distances."

Hearing this, some geniuses who knew something nodded slightly to express their agreement.

When the original universe reaches the speed of light, according to the operating laws of this original universe, it will be directly transmitted to the dark universe.

There is a lower limit to speed in the dark universe, but no upper limit. As long as your spaceship can bear it, you can continue to pursue the highest speed, 1 times the speed of light? 2 times? 3 times?

As long as your spaceship is good enough, you can reach that speed in the dark universe.

For a general C-class spaceship, the highest speed in the dark universe is 1.5 times the speed of light. Even if the highest speed is 1.5 billion light years, it will take 100 years to fly in the dark universe.

Beep!

"Collection completed."

Colorful lights fell on the paper in front of everyone, and then a screen appeared in front of the conference hall. On the screen was a huge star map, and there were some complex digital symbols next to it.     After taking a look at the star map, Che Ke turned his head and smiled at the 1,000 geniuses: "Everyone, the addresses you wrote have all been recorded. According to the different geographical locations of the 1,000 of you and our spaceship resources, the best pick-up and drop-off plan has been calculated."

"How long will it take us to fly to the company's headquarters in the universe?" Many people below couldn't help asking.

"Because the distance is different, the speed of the spacecraft will be different. I can guarantee that you will arrive at the headquarters on the same day." Che Ke smiled, "It will take about 3 years."

"3 years?"

"So short?"

"How is it possible? How fast does the spacecraft have to reach to advance 1.5 billion light years in three years?" Many of the 1,000 geniuses present were shocked.

"My Virtual Universe Company will arrange F-class spacecraft for you all." Che Ke smiled and said, "And it is not an F-class spacecraft that can be easily purchased, but... a special model of F-class spacecraft within my Virtual Universe Company, the internal technology content is far higher than the F-class spacecraft of various universe countries."

Silence.

Silence.

Stupid.

Many of the 1,000 geniuses present were frightened by the Virtual Universe Company's lavish behavior!

They all knew that the E-class corresponded to the realm master, and the F-class corresponded to the immortal gods who were high above.

Now the Virtual Universe Company sent out 1,000 F-class spaceships at once, and the technological content of the F-class spaceships exceeded that of the various universe countries. How could they not be frightened!

"It is worthy of being the top two virtual universe companies among the five giants." Manle of the Wild God Clan exclaimed: "I have heard from my father that in terms of technological level, the Virtual Universe Company is the leader among the five giants."

As Manle said, in terms of technology among the human race, the Virtual Universe Company is the first!

Even in the entire vast universe, among the countless races, there are only a handful of people who can compare technology with the Virtual Universe Company. There may be only a few abnormal races such as the "Mechanical Clan".

"Mr. Che Ke, can we buy this F-class spaceship?" someone asked.

"This is an item within my virtual universe company. You are all core members of my virtual universe company, so of course you can buy it. But you can only use it yourself, and you cannot resell it... If you want to sell it, you must sell it back to my virtual universe company."

Che Ke smiled and said, "It's just that the F-class spaceship is too expensive, and many immortal beings can't afford it. You should not be anxious for now, practice hard, and when you become a super strong person in my virtual universe company in the future, the company may directly equip you with an F-class spaceship for free."

Hearing this, many geniuses in the conference room curled their lips.

Super strong? Equipped with an F-class spaceship?

This pie is really big!

"Let me inform you all." Che Ke smiled and said, "The prize money for the top 1,000 in the genius war is being distributed now. You can check your account later when you go back."

"As for now, you can go back. Our Virtual Universe Company will send a special letter to notify you of the exact time to pick you up. Please prepare at the place you wrote down, so that you won't be lost when the time comes."

Che Ke finally suggested: "I suggest you spend time with your family and friends. Soon you will have to leave your hometown for a long time."

The lively conference room suddenly became quiet.

Yes.

I have to leave my hometown for a long time. This time I will go to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters. The journey alone will take three years. This is because the Virtual Universe Company sent a precious F-class spaceship to pick me up. I have to say that facing the vast universe... the time consumed by the journey alone is amazing.

A line of figures disappeared in the conference room, and everyone left one by one.

...

The moment he left, Li Qi returned to the lava secret realm in the virtual universe.
