The Invitation from Mount Axe

Chapter 49 The Invitation from Three Axe Mountain

Although the Golden Horned Beast is still an egg, it already has a faint consciousness.

However, Luo Feng possesses the inherited soul imprint left by Hu Yanbo, which is more than enough to possess the Golden Horned Beast, so he doesn't need to burn his soul like in the original story.

Soon, under Babata's guidance, Luo Feng began to possess the Golden Horned Beast.

Gu Ce wasn't idle either.

The Universe First Bank's auction, open to all clients of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom at the three-star level and above, is about to begin.

This auction is of a much higher standard than the Qianwu Auction.

This is an internal auction held by the Qianwu branch of the Universe's First Bank. Some treasures that can even help one achieve immortality will be featured as the most valuable items!

Although three-star clients can participate, the main target audience is still those immortal clients of four stars or above. Ordinary three-star clients are not even qualified to know about the existence of this auction and must be led in by a client of four stars or above to enter.

"Master, this time we just need to buy the supplies for cultivating Star-Eating Grass," Rimuru said.

With his six-eyed, monstrous abilities, Gu Ce didn't need to buy any treasures to help him comprehend the laws. He already had weapons and Force suits, so there weren't many things left to buy.

It's mostly up to fate; I'll see if there's anything worth buying at the auction.

"Let's go see what's going on," Gu Ce said with a smile.

……

Virtual universe.

Gu Ce took out an invitation to the auction and made a mental decision.

"Teleport."

call!

In the next instant, Gu Ce's figure vanished from Black Dragon Mountain Island and was teleported to a peculiar space.

The headquarters of the Universe First Bank's Qianwu branch in the virtual universe!

This enormous city is bustling with people and boasts beautiful scenery. Rare flowers, plants, and trees are everywhere, any one of which would be a treasure that would attract the attention of powerful beings at the cosmic level in the real world.

"Sir, welcome to the auction hosted by the First Universe Bank. As you are a four-star customer, you are entitled to a seat on the second-floor balcony. Here is your seat number."

Because he was a four-star client and had been marked early on, Gu Ce was warmly invited inside by a staff member as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the auction, attracting the attention of many realm masters around him.

"Which genius would be willing to give away a four-star account?"

"I had to beg the gods and pay a heavy price to gain entry to this auction!"

"Let's not talk about that. I heard there's something going on this time..."

The people outside were talking, making a great commotion, but it had nothing to do with Gu Ce anymore.

Upon entering the auction hall, one finds it divided into three floors.

The lobby on the first floor is for three-star customers and has millions of seats, each six meters wide and ten meters high, occupying a huge area.

The second-floor stands are for four-star guests. Each stand is relatively independent, measuring 100 meters in length and width, and is equipped with various beverages and fruits, with dedicated staff providing service.

The private rooms on the third floor are reserved for five-star clients, who are usually high-ranking officials and wouldn't typically be there.

"There won't be too many World Lords participating in this auction; most of them will still be at the Immortal level," Rimuru explained.

Gu Ce nodded.

More than 100,000 realm lords were already seated in the hall. It seemed like a lot, but it was still less than the number at the Qianwu Auction.

Most of the realm lords who can come here are quite wealthy, and they come here to buy things that they don't usually have access to.

The surrounding stands were shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see if anyone was inside.

After waiting for a long time.

"Everyone!"

A clear voice instantly spread throughout the auction hall, and the vast auction hall fell silent as everyone consciously stopped talking.

The auction has officially begun!

Gu Ce's eyes were focused, fixed on the stage below.

……

"Brother Hong!" Thor shouted excitedly.

"We finally succeeded!"

"Yes." Hong's voice was a little weak, but he still had a smile on his face.

After more than five months, the two finally passed the space apprentice mercenary assessment!

Ironically, the assessment itself wasn't particularly difficult; it required retrieving something from a dangerous planet, and the threat on that planet wasn't significant for them.

However, on that planet, they encountered a man claiming to be a prince of the Silver Blue Empire who wanted to steal their spatial rings, including the items needed for the assessment.

They knew about the Silver Blue Empire; it was the rudimentary civilization that controlled the Milky Way, and its ruler seemed to be merely a realm lord.

That prince himself wasn't particularly strong; he just had a lot of star-level slaves with him.

Seeing that Hong and Lei Shen both possessed spatial rings and had no slaves with them, he decided to seize them.

Hong and Lei Shen originally intended to purchase star-level slaves, but they felt that having slaves to help them wouldn't be very effective in training them, so they had them follow at a distance. However, they didn't expect to be targeted.

How can you tolerate being targeted?

Neither of them were the type to be weak, so they immediately decided to take action and teach that prince a lesson!

Using the planet's unique terrain, the two, along with a group of slaves, completely outmaneuvered the prince.

Hong, a former assassin, devised numerous assassination methods, killing off the prince's slaves one by one, terrifying the prince so much that he cried and begged for mercy.

With the intention of eliminating any potential threat, the two eventually killed the prince and amassed considerable wealth from him.

After eliminating the prince, the two were finally able to complete their space apprentice mercenary assessment and officially become apprentice mercenaries!

"That wasn't easy," Thor remarked. "Brother Hong, do you think the Silver Blue Empire's royal family will retaliate against us after we killed that prince?"

Hong frowned, clearly considering the possibility of this problem.

Finally, he shook his head.

"That prince said he was ranked eleventh, so he shouldn't be an important prince. Moreover, Earth's coordinates were concealed by Teacher Luo Feng using a secret method, so even if the ruler of the Silver Blue Empire came, he wouldn't be able to find Earth."

"That's good." Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Instead of that, let's worry about the current situation," Hong said solemnly.

There are quite a few people on that planet who are participating in the space mercenary assessment.

Among them were members of the "Hundred Tigers Tower," one of the four major civilian organizations of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The prince was on good terms with one of the top elites from the Hundred Tigers Pavilion who was traveling with him!

This top-tier elite was naturally killed by Hong and Thor.

At this time, Hong had already reached the fourth level of the Domain, and Thor had reached the second level of the Domain.

In terms of genetic energy, both of them made rapid progress, reaching around the third level of the Hengxing star with the help of various treasures.

With such strength, taking down an elite member of the Hundred Tigers Tower is perfectly normal.

Therefore, after the two left that planet, they were targeted by the people of Baihulou!

Just as the two were pondering a plan, inside the spaceship, Thor suddenly spoke up: "Brother Hong, the people from 'Three Axe Mountain' have invited us to join their organization!"

Hong was taken aback and realized that he had also received an invitation.

"A gathering in a virtual universe?" Hong murmured.

"Three Axe Mountain" is the head of the four major folk organizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and its founder is an immortal being!
