Nutrient Chamber

Chapter 28 Nutrient Chamber

The Lord of the Ice Wasteland Realm dislikes taking on disciples.

His purpose in seeking a successor was simply to prevent his secret techniques from going unrestored and to see someone reach a level he himself could not achieve by using the legacy he left behind.

--immortal!

Therefore, he did not set any tests and entrusted all power to Rimuru with complete peace of mind.

It can be said that Rimuru is essentially Gu Ce's teacher, responsible for guiding Gu Ce's cultivation and arranging the most suitable path for him.

Having previously accessed the Virtual Universe Company's database, it certainly possesses this capability.

While it may not be comparable to being personally guided by an immortal teacher, at least his vision is broader than Babata's.

At least until he becomes immortal, Rimuru's judgment will not be wrong!

As for what happens after immortality, that's not a question for us to consider now.

"Gu Ce, my second brother and I just discussed it," Hong said to Gu Ce after arriving outside the bank.

"What?" Gu Ce asked in confusion.

"We both want to become space mercenaries," Thor said.

"A cosmic mercenary?" Gu Ce understood and chuckled.

"Even the lowest-ranking cosmic trainee mercenary needs to be at the Hengxing level to be eligible to sign up for the assessment. Never mind, I'll go back and buy some cultivation supplies, and I'll get some for you two while I'm at it."

Thor's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Thank you!"

"Hey, Master, you're being too polite," Gu Ce said, waving his hand. "Back then... well, three months ago. Considering the contract you gave me, and your relationship with my uncle, I couldn't possibly treat you unfairly."

"Besides, I was able to obtain that inheritance thanks to your help," Gu Ce said.

"Second brother, I'm really fortunate to have you with this," Hong joked.

"Good lad, you..." Thor was deeply moved. He never expected that the little kid from back then would be able to take care of him now.

"Alright, that's enough." Gu Ce said with a look of disgust. "Stop being so wishy-washy, hurry up and cultivate to become stronger. You don't even have a domain yet, and you still want to be a mercenary?"

"Let me remind you, in the universe, if you are not strong enough, you will be captured and enslaved. Even if a galaxy only produces one cosmic-level expert, they will be sold into slavery. Only strength is fundamental."

"Don't worry." Upon hearing this, both Thor and Hong's expressions turned serious.

"I've seen all of this in the information you gave me. We will definitely protect the Earth," Thor said solemnly.

They knew all too well how terrible the fate was for planets in the universe that had become slaves.

All humans on a planet were treated as slaves and sold as commodities...

They cannot accept this situation.

Gu Ce couldn't accept it either.

But he was confident.

He was confident that he could protect the Earth and his family.

Whether it's the approaching Golden Horned Beast or the space adventurers, Gu Ce is confident that he can become stronger than them before they do and solve the crisis at its root!

"Ten years from now, the Virtual Universe Company will host the Cosmic Human - Peak Genius Battle. All geniuses of the Hengxing level will participate. In this genius battle open to the entire universe, the better you perform, the more attention you will receive and the more resources you will get," Gu Ce said.

"If one can enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, one will be directly above the vast majority of humans, and in the future, one may become an immortal god, and not a weak one at that."

The timing of the Genius Battle is something anyone who pays attention can easily deduce; it's hardly a secret.

"We will try our best!" Hong said earnestly.

They had no lineage to carry on, so they had to rely on themselves for everything!

Gu Ce didn't say much, and transferred one Hunyuan unit to each of them.

One Hunyuan unit is equal to one trillion Universe Coins, which is equal to 3300 trillion Qianwu Coins!

This is more than enough to cover their expenses.

At least all expenses before the Domain Lord level don't need to be considered; even at the Domain Lord level, one Mixed Yuan unit is an astronomical figure.

"Gu Ce, this..." Thor was somewhat apprehensive. This amount of money was enough to buy an entire star system, wasn't it?

"This is your allowance. You can buy whatever you want later," Gu Ce said with a smile. "You can join the Qianwu Dojo first. With your talent, even if you don't get into the Virtual Universe Company, you'll still be considered geniuses in the Qianwu Dojo."

"Also, you all understand the principle of not flaunting your wealth, right?"

"Understood!" Hong and Thor nodded solemnly in unison.

Helping them is also helping yourself.

Having been in this world for over sixteen years, Gu Ce has long since integrated into it. His kinship with Gu Hesheng, Gu Hechang, and others has bound him to Earth's warship.

Help these two, and when they grow up, they can help themselves and the planet.

Hong and Thor also performed well in the original work, with one ultimately becoming a true god and the other the master of the universe.

It is absolutely worth Gu Ce's investment.

In the original story, Hong caused Earth to be exposed, which Gu Ce believed was inevitable; it was just that it was discovered earlier than expected.

As long as one can demonstrate enough talent and transform that talent into strength, one can take control of the fate of the Earth!

"Let's go," Gu Ce said.

Rimuru has already listed out what he needs for training at the planetary and celestial levels.

Although he doesn't consume as many resources as the Golden Horned Beast, he is still at the 3x genetic level and requires more resources than ordinary people. He will also need to cultivate plant life, purchase weapons and equipment, and so on.

Millions of mixed units may seem like a lot, but just raising a single plant life would be a challenge.

After flying for a while, the three of them soon arrived at the Treasure Shop in Dragon City.

"What would you like, sir?" As soon as you entered the shop, a cutely dressed waitress immediately came to greet you.

"I need five hundred kilograms of Bibo marrow," Gu Ce said.

These are some of the things Rimuru compiled for planetary-level training.

The waiter looked surprised after hearing this. "Please, please wait a moment!"

The waiter was trembling slightly.

The things Gu Ce needs are too valuable for her to decide.

It should be noted that the employees of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's office only earn a few hundred Black Dragon coins a month! The things Gu Ce wants could buy countless versions of her.

Soon, the waiter came out again and led the three of them to the meeting room.

"Guest, please wait a moment. We don't have enough Azure Marrow here, so we need to get some from elsewhere," the old man said, wiping his sweat.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ce frowned.

"That's how it is in small places like this, there's nothing there," Rimuru said with dissatisfaction.

"Let's just buy planetary-level nutrient capsules through the Virtual Universe Company's channels. They can directly elevate you to planetary-level rank nine, so you won't need these things anymore," Rimuru said.

"That works too." Gu Ce nodded.

"Do you have fifty kilograms?" Gu Ce asked the old man.

"Yes, yes," the old man quickly replied.

"Then I'll start with fifty kilograms," Gu Ce said. "And some more Wood Crystals... Do you sell any young Moyun Vine here?"

"This..." The old man hesitated for a moment, sweating profusely.

"Sorry, our shop is small and requires advance booking. We need to get the goods from the head office."

"Never mind then." Gu Ce shook his head slightly.

"Brother Hong, Master, I've had Rimuru list out the items suitable for your training and sent them to you. Take a look for yourselves."

Hong and Thor nodded and bought a lot of things according to their needs.

Finally, the old man happily saw the three out of the store and gave each of them a membership card that would give them discounts.

"Next, you'll go to the Qianwu Dojo to register, and then you can return to Earth," Gu Ce said to the two of them.

"Yes." The two nodded in unison.

Having come out and witnessed the splendor of the universe, they also realized how weak they were!

We must hurry up and cultivate to become stronger in order to protect the Earth!
