Space Mercenaries

Back at the manor.

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong continued to discuss how to find resources.

At this moment, Babata suddenly appeared: "There are many ways to obtain high-level resources, or even treasures that touch upon the laws of nature."

Babata has also been learning and improving during this time, and has made some progress.

Luo Feng immediately urged, "Babata, speak quickly!"

Babata projected a document.

"There are two main methods in the universe to obtain high-level resources and treasures that govern the laws of nature. The first is to purchase them at various high-end auctions, but qualifications are required; the second is to venture into dangerous places in the universe, where, if you are lucky enough, becoming rich overnight is not a dream."

Thor said dejectedly, "None of what Babata said is useful to us right now."

Babata immediately refuted Thor's words: "If I said I could do it, then I certainly can."

Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise, "It's the teacher's account! That's a five-star account from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, so it must be qualified to participate in the auction!"

Babata nodded: "That's right. A five-star account is enough to participate in the Qianwu Auction. As long as you have enough funds, you can buy high-level resources and law treasures."

"I can provide the funds. I happen to need to buy some treasures, so let's all go together," Zhou Tong added after saying that.

"There is another way to obtain resources in the universe, which is to join a powerful organization. This is one of the reasons why I want everyone to participate in the Universe's Top Genius Battle."

"Now we can join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Once we become a Star-level Mercenary, we can also purchase high-level resources through their internal platform."

Thor, who was eager to improve, couldn't hold back any longer after hearing Zhou Tong's words.

"Babata, quickly find out how to join the Space Mercenary Alliance!"

"To join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance for the first time, we need to complete the formalities in the real world. So we have to go to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance branch on Qiulong Star to register and also undergo an adventure mission assessment."

When Thor asked her the question, Babata gave a direct answer, after all, her former master, Huyanbo, was also a cosmic mercenary.

Thor immediately urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's pack up and set off! We're going to compete with all the geniuses in the universe, so we need to hurry up and improve our strength!"

Thanks to Zhou Tong's intervention, Earth did not experience the many threats it originally faced and was even connected to the virtual universe ahead of schedule.

After a large number of Earth's elite humans entered the virtual universe, a great deal of information about the universe was collected. Naturally, the most important battle of geniuses in the universe at present on Earth became the focus of information collection.

Therefore, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen have a much deeper understanding of the universe than before, and have also gained a thorough understanding of various information about the Ultimate Genius Battle in the Universe.

They are well aware that their current strength is far from enough to achieve a remarkable result in the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle and to officially support Earth's entry into the universe.

Thus, whether for their own sake or for the sake of Earth's civilization, they are extremely eager to continue improving their strength.

Next, Babata projected the important notes for the trainee mercenary assessment of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance onto Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor for them to see, so that they could have a preliminary understanding of cosmic mercenaries.

"The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is truly wealthy and powerful; they're actually conducting a trainee mercenary assessment in a small world opened up by a World Lord?"

Unlike Thor's shock, Luo Feng was indifferent to the World Lord's World because the Golden Horned Beast had an inner world. What surprised him more was that during the mercenary assessment, the assessment members could kill and plunder each other.

"Isn't this a bit too much freedom?"

Zhou Tong remained calm and made no comment. He cultivated the method of immortality, which allowed him to absorb and refine people as resources, making killing and plundering commonplace.

Hong and Thor have fought their way up from the Great Nirvana era to the present, so they are even more familiar with the killing and plundering among mercenary assessment members.

They were even somewhat looking forward to the assessment.

In the past, our sparring sessions were always limited to a point. Although the virtual universe's killing field can simulate life-and-death battles, it is still virtual after all. Compared to the real-life, visceral combat, it is still somewhat different.

Hong immediately encouraged them, saying, "The trainee mercenary assessment won't have a cosmic level. Although Thor and I are only at the first level of the Eternal Star, we both have domains."

Luo Feng and Zhou Tong are both at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, possess domains, and have even stronger trump cards. We can be said to be the top performers among this group of examinees, and we will definitely pass the assessment.

Zhou Tong continued, "Although Irina, who is at the World Lord level, cannot go to the assessment with us, I can have Irina cultivate a batch of ninth-tier Constant Star-level Zerg legions and equip them with my World Ring. That way, even if there are any unforeseen circumstances, it will be enough to make us invincible."

Luo Feng chimed in, "If Zhou Tong brings the Zerg army, then I'll bring the Immortal-class mechanical spaceship. No matter what, we have the advantage in this assessment."

Thor laughed heartily: "Our goal is the battle of the universe's top geniuses. A mere apprentice mercenary assessment is a piece of cake."

Next, Luo Feng spent the New Year with his family and children, while Hong and Lei Shen also contacted their relatives and subordinates to explain what would happen after they left.

Early 2064.

The four people, having made preparations, piloted the Heilongshan X81 spaceship and headed towards Qiulong Star.

......

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance branch on Qiulong Star was even more bustling than the slave market Zhou Tong and Luo Feng had visited before; it was packed with people.

It took the group more than an hour to complete the formalities and receive the adventure card that represented their identity as cosmic mercenaries.

He also signed up for the assessment of the Space Trainee Mercenary.

Luo Feng explained the mission: "The assessment location is on Canglan Star. The mission requires each person to collect three Wind Horn Stones and one Iron Horn Rhinoceros Horn. There are four of us, so we need to collect a total of 12 Wind Horn Stones and 4 Iron Horn Rhinoceros Horns."

Thor covered his head and said, "The Iron Rhinoceros lives in groups. Although it is very strong, it is the easiest for us to collect. The problem is that the Wind Horn Stones are too scattered and difficult to collect."

Zhou Tong said dismissively, "It's simple. The members can kill and plunder each other. Once the others have collected the Windstones, we can sit back and reap the benefits."

Hong laughed heartily: "Since that's how the rules are set out, we'll naturally abide by them!"

Soon, the Heilongshan X81 spacecraft successfully arrived at Canglan Star.

The spacecraft was parked at the space docking port.

Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong Bian flew straight to the azure blue Canglan Star.

As soon as they landed, several shrewd men surrounded them with smiles, trying to sell them maps and information about the Thunder Realm.

I had already bought it at Qiulongxing Luofeng before, and when I saw a local promoting it, I was curious about what was different about the information, so I bought another copy. Anyway, it was only 100 Black Dragon Coins, a small amount of money.

I glanced through it and found that the information was not much different.

The group then sped off towards Thunder City, where Thunder Realm was located.

A few minutes later, Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Thor, and Hong arrived at the mercenary alliance's base in Thunder City.

Verify identity; everything is fine.

Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Thor, and Hong, led by staff members, headed to the villa at the entrance to the Thunder Realm.

By this time, a large number of people had gathered at the entrance to participate in the assessment. Judging from their numbers, there were probably over 100,000 people.

From the conversations of passersby, they also learned that members of the four most famous organizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield were also participating in this assessment.

"What a coincidence? It seems that these major organizations may also be preparing for the Universal Ultimate Genius Battle, sending out their young talents for training."

Zhou Tong had a different opinion on this, after all, he knew that there was a realm within a realm in the Thunder Realm, with the inheritance of a realm master.

Those organizations must also know that the successor of the Thunder Realm Lord has not yet emerged, which is why they sent a large number of their subordinates to explore the Thunder Realm.

Judging from the way the people who came for the assessment seemed to take it all in stride, you could tell that this was a very common occurrence.

Otherwise, the full mobilization of these organizations would have already caused a large-scale riot.

However, Zhou Tong did not tell Luo Feng and the other two these things. After all, there were many people around, and there was no need to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the four of them followed the flow of people into the spatial teleportation channel.
