Virtual Universe

After obtaining their identities, Luo Feng and Zhou Tong went to the offices of Virtual Universe Company and Universe Galaxy Bank on Qiulong Star to open accounts.

They had already decided to cultivate in the universe for a year, so they naturally needed a place to stay for a long time. They went to a real estate agency in Qiulong City and rented a small courtyard in Qiulong City.

After running around everywhere, Zhou Tong and Luo Feng's first day in the universe came to an end.

In the small courtyard.

Luo Feng stretched and looked around the courtyard.

"Finally finished!"

"Finished? Not a long time!"

Walking into the house and sitting on the sofa, Zhou Tong took out a briefcase from his spatial ring, took out the consciousness-sensing helmet from the Virtual Universe Company, looked it over, and then slowly put it on his head.

"Next, we'll go to the virtual universe to sell the Flowing Silver Metal, buy cultivation resources, and at the same time, we need to find a way to continue making money."

As Zhou Tong reminded him, Baba Tower in Luo Feng's sea of ​​consciousness was also frantically urging him on.

"Hurry! Hurry! Luo Feng, get into the virtual universe right now! I've been waiting for fifty thousand years! Fifty thousand years... Do you know how I've waited until now?"

Luo Feng, who was dizzy from Babata's shouts, could only hastily put on the consciousness-sensing helmet and immediately activate it.

"Virtual universe connection in progress..."

A moment later...

Zhou Tong and Luo Feng appeared in a city that was both ancient and modern.

Babata transformed into a tiny sprite the size of a fist, sitting on Luo Feng's shoulder.

"We are currently located on Black Dragon Mountain Island on the edge of the Qianwu Continent. Although it is called an island, it is actually a behemoth that can accommodate all the citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, larger than any planet in reality."

Babata flew ahead of Luo Feng and Zhou Tong, leading the way while constantly explaining various common knowledge about the virtual universe to the two of them.

In the virtual universe, people can try all sorts of things that they cannot or dare not do in the real world, and experience worlds they have never experienced before.

For example, bungee jumping from a black hole, sauna in the sun, playing marbles with planets, and so on.

In general, the virtual universe is a simulated real world, but it is simpler, more convenient, faster, and more colorful than the real world.

"Virtual Universe Company claims that it will never monitor anyone's information or leak anyone's data. Your strength is still very weak, and trading in the virtual universe is indeed much safer than trading in the real world."

Zhou Tong smiled mysteriously upon hearing Babata's words. He knew very well that the virtual universe was a secret innate ability of the Primordial Ancestor, and there was nothing in the virtual universe that he didn't know if he wanted to.

Luo Feng was so engrossed in Babata's various introductions that he didn't notice Zhou Tong's strange behavior; otherwise, he would have had a hard time explaining it if he were asked.

Soon, Zhou Tong and Luo Feng were taken by Babata to a shop that specialized in buying and selling materials.

"The market price of silver metal is 160 million Black Dragon coins per ton. We have two tons, which is worth 320 million Black Dragon coins."

After Babata finished explaining, he frowned and said with difficulty, "But even if all this money is used to buy cultivation resources, it still won't be enough for Luo Feng to break through to the Hengxing level. As for the cultivation resources Zhou Tong needs, it probably won't buy much of them."

Luo Feng was stunned when he heard Babata's words. He had a pretty good idea of ​​the value of Black Dragon Coins by now; more than 300 million was already a huge sum of money.

It's surprising that something usable for cultivation is so worthless...

At this moment, Zhou Tong chimed in, "Let's sell one ton of the flowing silver metal first to buy some resources for our short-term cultivation. I'll try to refine the remaining ton of flowing silver metal into a treasure. If we succeed, its value will increase dramatically, and we won't be short of funds for a while."

Zhou Tong had already decided on Earth that once he arrived in the universe, he would first cultivate the Great Refining Treasure Technique, and this flowing silver metal was the first test subject.

Each of the three thousand Great Daos is a major consumer of resources. If Zhou Tong doesn't have a way to make a lot of money, he probably won't achieve anything significant until his lifespan naturally ends.

"You can even refine magical artifacts?"

Babata looked at Zhou Tong with great surprise, thinking to herself that this freak could come up with some new things from time to time, refreshing her worldview.

Zhou Tong replied calmly, "Not only can I refine treasures, but I can also refine medicine. Otherwise, how can I say that I would be richer than Luo Feng, who has Hu Yanbo's legacy, once we reach the universe?"

"Back then, in order to build the Meteorite Starship, the master had to use many treasures and impose harsh conditions to persuade a master craftsman to help. Their status was much higher than that of other experts at the same level, and they were also very wealthy."

Babata recalled Huyanbo's experience in building the Meteorite Starship with great emotion, while also saying that refining treasures and medicines was no ordinary skill and not something just anyone could do.

"Zhou Tong, if you really know these two skills, you will indeed be richer than Luo Feng, but the difficulty of them is a thousand times greater than cultivation."

Zhou Tong smiled faintly: "We'll see if it's any good once it's put to the test. We're not short of resources. If all else fails, we can have Luo Feng sell the curved blade plate for money; that should be enough to tide us over."

In fact, Zhou Tong had considered buying some Crimson Copper Mother, but after careful consideration, he gave up. The main reason was that his current strength was too weak, and he hadn't practiced any of the Three Thousand Great Daos he used to disguise himself, which was really unsafe.

Luo Feng, who overheard Zhou's conversation, suddenly brightened up.

He would never sell the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, which he was most comfortable using, and the Arc Blade Disc, which he had hardly used. Now that he was short of funds, he could indeed sell the Arc Blade Disc to buy cultivation resources. When he broke through to the Hengxing level, he could inherit Teacher Huyanbo's legacy and get on the right track.

Seeing that Luo Feng was very interested, Babata understood his thoughts, but it wasn't the right time yet.

"Let's see if Zhou Tong can refine the treasure first. If he can't, it's not too late to sell the Arc Blade Disc. If Zhou Tong really succeeds, we'll stick with him."

Luo Feng hesitated to speak after hearing what Babata said in his mind.

"If Zhou Tong succeeds, we can compensate him after leveraging his resources to break through to the Hengxing level and inherit our teacher's legacy."

Thus, after selling a ton of silver metal at the materials store, Luo Feng bought some blue marrow.

Zhou Tong bought high-grade flesh and blood, a small amount of high-grade five-elemental materials, and materials to be used to refine the flowing silver metal.

After escaping the virtual universe, Zhou Tong and Luo Feng rested peacefully for one night, and the next day they each went about their own business.

Luo Feng's main focus is cultivation. He aims to break through to at least the ninth level of the planetary stage before returning to Earth. If resources are plentiful, he even wants to try to break through to the eternal stage.

Zhou Tong first tested the use of high-grade flesh and blood and the five elements materials to cultivate the Great Blood Soul Technique and the Great Five Elements Technique, so that he would know what kind of cultivation resources to buy later.

Most importantly, Zhou Tong spent most of his time learning the Great Refining Technique, while also referencing other weapon-refining methods in the universe to cross-reference and verify them with the Great Refining Technique.

Given the properties of silver metal, it is best suited for forging protective armor or shields.

However, for the quality grade of the flowing silver metal to be of high value, Zhou Tong could not refine it into a regular treasure; it had to be unique and practical enough.
