Chapter 68
, Virtual Universe!
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of the novel "Infinite Heavens".
After Jiang Ming deciphered the Golden Horned Beast's "Devouring" secret technique, his gene level experienced a leap, reaching the level of 6 times the life gene.
Jiang Ming's strength was already stronger than that of a first-tier martial artist of the same level, and with the addition of a 6-fold increase in life gene level, his basic strength was already close to that of a third-tier martial artist of the same level.
Unleashing a dual domain further amplifies their combat power.
As the golden spear light flashed, five Hengxing-level martial artists fell to the ground beneath Jiang Ming's spear.
"How is it?"
Seeing that Jiang Ming had finished fighting, Hong and Lei Shen quickly flew to Jiang Ming's side, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
At this moment, Jiang Ming looked in one direction. From Jiang Ming's perspective, three groups of people had been watching them ever since they left the port.
Of these three groups, the five that Jiang Ming just dealt with were the strongest.
.......
"Wow, this guy is amazing. The Shadow Killers of Five Wolves actually fell just like that."
Fourteen kilometers away from where Jiang Ming and his two companions were, a burly man in black, inside a small spaceship, spoke with a shocked expression.
"I knew that someone who could pilot a luxury spaceship like the Black Dragon Mountain was definitely not someone to mess with. Luckily, we didn't make a move."
A short, stout man said with a sigh.
"Damn it, boss, that guy seems to have spotted us?"
Someone cried out in surprise.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Noticing Jiang Ming's gaze on the spaceship's projection screen, everyone inside the spaceship instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
The small spacecraft did not deactivate its stealth mode and flew away quickly.
......
Seeing that the two groups of people left one after the other, Jiang Ming withdrew his gaze.
"It's alright, they've all left."
As Jiang Ming spoke, his primal force surged forth, transforming into a golden hand that gathered all five corpses before him.
"Damn it, this Dragon Star is really dangerous. We've only just left the port and we've already run into bandits."
Thor cursed.
"There's a reason we're being targeted. People who can afford to fly a Class C spaceship are generally not weak, and they often travel in groups, which greatly reduces the chances of them being targeted by bandits."
At first, Jiang Ming couldn't understand why he would encounter bandits as soon as he left the port. But after comparing it with Luo Feng's first experience on Qiulong Star in the original timeline, he immediately realized the reason.
The bandit gangs of Qiulongxing are not very large, usually only three to five people. If there are a dozen or dozens of people, then it is no small matter.
Therefore, their first priority when choosing a target is that the scale cannot be large; if the scale is too large, they will naturally give up the idea.
This time, Jiang Ming and his two companions went straight out of the port. One was a young man at the Constant level, and the other two were at the Planetary level. No wonder they attracted three groups of bandits.
"But it's good, these bandits were quite wealthy, now we have money."
Jiang Mingyuan used his power to remove the belongings from the five bandits, and even found a spatial ring on the leader, the strongest bandit at the fifth level of the Hengxing realm.
The space ring has a small interior space, only 3 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high, much smaller than the one Jiang Ming obtained from the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship.
For a spatial ring, this size is considered the lowest grade of defective product.
"These bandits are all desperate criminals; they've taken most of their wealth with them, and they're quite rich."
Jiang Ming examined the items inside the spatial ring and discovered that it contained many treasures that would be considered precious even by a Hengxing star level.
"We need to be careful."
Hong said somewhat warily.
"How much are their belongings worth?"
Thor asked curiously.
"It's worth about two to three billion Black Dragon Coins."
Qingli has information on Babata, which allows her to assess the value of most common treasures.
"Master, I checked the official website of Qiulong Star, which has a long-term bounty on Qiulong Star bandits. These five people have bounties on the Qiulong Star official website and are known as the Shadow Killer Five Wolves."
"There's a bounty, that's not bad."
Jiang Ming said.
"Two to three billion Black Dragon Coins!"
Thor and Hong were both shocked by this number.
Although they were new to the field, they had some understanding of the purchasing power of currency.
The Silver Blue Empire is a vassal state of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Silver Blue coins have the lowest value; it takes 1000 Silver Blue coins to exchange for 1 Black Dragon coin.
"These people are all bandits. They have killed countless people and plundered a great deal of wealth. Naturally, they are very rich. If they hadn't been unlucky enough to meet Jiang Ming, they don't know how long they could have lived comfortably."
Hong wasn't surprised; he had been an assassin back on Earth.
He knows better than anyone how lucrative this industry is.
......
Jiang Ming and his group flew very fast, and soon covered hundreds of kilometers.
From afar, a dense cluster of buildings came into view, consisting of one small castle after another.
"Master, that's a 'low-level property' on Qiulong Star. The most recent listing price on Qiulong Star's official website was 112 billion Black Dragon Coins for a manor."
Qingli's voice came from the smart computer on Jiang Ming's arm guard.
"Holy crap! Over 10 billion Black Dragon Coins for just this one house?"
Thor was stunned. A house that was one kilometer long and wide was certainly not small, but it was still a bit too exaggerated compared to more than 10 billion Black Dragon Coins.
"Owning property on Qiulong Star makes you a resident of Qiulong Star, and residents of Qiulong Star enjoy special privileges."
Qingli then explained.
"No wonder, the owner of this Dragon Star really knows how to make money."
Thor instantly understood: the house wasn't valuable, but his status as a resident of Qilong Star was!
With this identity, one becomes superior to others on Qiulong Star.
.......
After flying for about half an hour, a vast city finally appeared in the distance.
The city has a 120-meter-high city wall, with magnificent glass dragons coiled around its top.
"Qiulong City".
Jiang Ming looked at the city and sighed inwardly.
Qiulong City has a history of over 300 million years. Even when Qingli's previous owner was still alive, Qiulong City had already stood.
A domain lord can have a lifespan of millions of years. While 300 million years sounds like a long time, in reality, a domain lord's lifespan only involves the replacement of three generations of masters.
Some empires, however, have existed for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years.
......
The city gate of Qiulong City is one kilometer long and wide. After entering the city, Jiang Ming and his group went straight to the administration building.
The first thing to do upon arriving on Qiulong Star is to obtain citizenship; only with citizenship can one begin to engage in any activities.
With Jiang Mingheng's star-level strength, obtaining citizenship was naturally easy, and the process was completed in no time.
After obtaining citizenship, Jiang Ming and the others quickly headed to their next stop: the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to register their accounts...
It was more than an hour later when all this was done.
......
Inside a private room at an upscale restaurant, Jiang Ming and two others sat.
"Let's go, let's enter the virtual universe."
After the messenger finished delivering the dishes and left the private room, Jiang Ming spoke to Hong and Lei Shen.
At this moment, Jiang Ming was also somewhat excited. The virtual universe was the place where he could truly show his skills!
