Chapter 129 [Black Light Devourer] (55)
"Last time you said you wanted Zerg corpses in the virtual universe, you only said you wanted a large amount, but you didn't say a specific amount."
King Longjue looked at Bai Ye and asked, "I wonder how much you plan to ask for?"
"The total amount will probably require several billion Hunyuan units, but we need to test it first to determine what level the subsequent ones will be." Bai Ye thought for a while before continuing: "The first batch, one Tens of millions of Hunyuan units’ peak-level Zerg corpses.”
"How many billions of Hunyuan units are there in total? Are there only 10 million Hunyuan units in the first batch?"
King Longjue's eyes widened.
A small star level... no, universe level, where can you get so much money?
Even if the leader of Ganwu Kingdom dotes on his disciples, he won't give him so much at the cosmic level, right? !
However, King Longjue was a powerful king after all, and he adjusted his mood in an instant, no longer asking about Bai Ye's privacy, and said directly: "I thought you would need tens or millions of Hunyuan units at most, so there is still room for maneuver. But the amount of 10 million Hunyuan units cannot be approved by me at all. It must be signed by the heads of the other four major forces. In this way, you cannot be given any discount, and it must be in accordance with the five major forces. The price is determined by the forces. But don’t worry, the goods I choose for you will definitely be of the highest quality.”
In the garbage star field, a unit's "Zerg corpses" are only counted based on their quantity.
But the quality is very different.
The Zerg race, which is also the pinnacle world lord, is also divided into many different races.
The flesh and blood energy contained in the top Zerg and the worst Zerg may differ many times, but the price is the same.
This is the benefit of having someone on the inside.
For the same price, you can get the highest quality goods.
Bai Ye naturally understood how important this was, and immediately saluted, "Thank you, Lord Longjue."
"Well, don't worry. I'll contact people from several other companies to finalize the contract first, and then send someone to make a selection for you." King Longjue said, "Just stay here for a while, and finally I’ll get this done for you within two days.”
…
It was said to be two days, but in fact, Bai Ye stayed in the Wulong Star Territory for more than three months and purchased several batches in succession.
In the first batch, about two-thirds of the 10 million Hunyuan units of the ‘World Lord Peak’ Zerg corpses were used to upgrade [Alex Mercer’s Eyeballs] to red.
The number of clones did not double this time, but directly quadrupled to 128, and the channels for converting energy expanded from the only "corpse of flesh and blood life" to "corpse of flesh and blood and plant life" ' and 'Original Divine Power'.
After consulting the price again, Bai Ye decided to buy the corpse remains of the immortal level.
This time the transaction share is larger, but it is still not enough to alarm the Lord of the Universe.
In the Garbage Star Territory, all matters, big and small, are handled by a king named Immortal sent by each of the five giants.
As for the aloof venerable ones, they will only appear when powerful enemies appear, or when some major events that cause great turmoil occur.
After using two small-scale transactions of about 100 million Hunyuan units to try out the 'Immortal-level Zerg Warrior Remains' and the 'Immortal-level Plant Life Remains' respectively, Bai Ye directly placed a 'large order' and purchased a total of 4.5 billion. The remains of the immortal-level Zerg warriors of the Hunyuan unit upgraded [Alex Mercer's Eyeball] to golden quality and accumulated a large amount of energy.
After all, making clones and so on also consumes a lot of energy, so there is no harm in saving more.
As for money, there is little point in leaving too much.
After all, truly precious things are difficult to buy with Hunyuan units, and what is needed is points.
Only money that is converted into strength has its value.
The transaction itself didn't take much time, but just decomposing and absorbing the energy contained in these corpses took a lot of Bai Ye's time and energy.
After completing the purpose of coming here, Bai Ye said goodbye to King Longjue before leaving the Wuyong Star Territory.
"Thank you so much this time, King Longjue." Bai Ye bowed and thanked him.
"Haha, you're welcome! I've achieved a lot with your consumption this time!" King Longjue laughed loudly and said, "I won't send you off. Pay attention to safety on the road and say hello to the Lord of the Kingdom for me."
King Longjue was busy procuring a large number of corpses of the highest quality Zerg warriors for Bai Ye, not just for the money or performance.
But to do favors for the leader of Wu Kingdom!
Of course, Bai Ye, a genius, was worth a small bet in exchange for a favor.
Anyway, it’s public resources that he’s paying for, and there’s no loss to him, so why not do it?
Being able to sit in this position that countless venerables would envy, King Longjue did not rely on his strength!
"Lord King Longjue." Bai Ye suddenly sent a message: "I got an uncertain news. In the Wulong Star Territory, there is an employee named 'Kosir', who is a Zerg spy. His code name among Zerg spies is 'No. 6'. This person is characterized by black scales on his head, green eyes, the ninth level of world master, and is good at using swords."
‘Kosir’ is the Zerg spy who assassinated Luo Feng in the original work.
Whether it is controlled by the soul or bribed by the Zerg, the original work does not mention it.
But judging from the fact that he would rather die than kill Luo Feng, the possibility of being controlled by the soul is extremely high.
Bai Ye told King Longjue all the information described in the original work. As for whether the other party believed it or whether he would take any action, Bai Ye didn't care.
Bai Ye naturally has a sense of belonging to the human race, and he does not want alien spies to wreak havoc within the human race and cause too much damage and harm.
Those who don’t know are fine, but if you know, it’s better to find an opportunity to report it.
As for the rest, Bai Ye can’t do more now.
After Bai Ye and the god general ‘Eighteen’ left, King Long Jue frowned and looked at the direction they left, wondering in his heart: "Kosel? Zerg spy? Or has he offended this ‘Chonglou’?"
After hesitating for a long time, King Long Jue decided not to pretend that nothing happened, but he was not going to deal with it personally.
Instead, he chose to report it.
"According to the report of the genius ‘Chonglou’ in the ‘Original Secret Realm’... Please ask the intelligence department to verify it."
Report the content of Bai Ye’s report in its entirety, and let the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company to check it.
If the problem is found, King Long Jue will at least have the credit of a joint report.
If no problem is found, it is also a false accusation by ‘Chonglou’, what does it have to do with him, King Long Jue?
As mentioned before, King Long Jue was able to sit in this position with not-so-strong strength, and it was not based on strength!
…
After returning to the spaceship, he did not return directly to the Qianwu Lord Continent, because it was too late.
The Qianwu Lord gave an order to Shiba, asking the two to wait in a nearby universe country territory. When the Qianwu Lord passed by, he would take a detour to take Bai Ye's "Chonglou" clone away.
In the spaceship, Bai Ye opened the system space and took out the previously upgraded equipment.
…
Name: Black Light Devourer
Grade: Gold
Category: Growth Special Items
Attributes:
1. It can devour 129 kinds of substances or energies such as flesh, plants, rocks, metals, divine power, etc., and convert them into "origin energy".
2. It can consume "origin energy" to create puppet clones.
The puppet clone has no soul and needs the host to integrate a trace of consciousness to control it.
The race of the puppet clone is not limited, but the gene sample must be obtained first, and the size must not exceed ten times that of the host, and must not exceed the range of 109 species that can convert "origin energy".
The highest genetic attribute of the puppet clone must not exceed that of the host.
The lowest level of the puppet clone is "ordinary mortal", and the highest level must not exceed that of the host.
The upper limit of the number of puppet clones is: 1024.
The stronger the puppet clone is and the larger the size is, the more origin energy it consumes.
3. The origin energy can be consumed to improve the equipment grade. When the equipment grade is improved, the equipment attributes will be improved, and new attributes will be obtained with a certain probability.
Special props do not need to be equipped, and they can take effect when placed in the system space.
...
After upgrading to gold quality, even the name of the equipment has changed.
However, the name "Black Light Devourer" does sound more impressive than "Alex Mercer's Eyeball".
The range of energy that can be swallowed and converted has been greatly increased, and even the "flesh and blood energy" required to use equipment capabilities and upgrade equipment has been renamed "origin energy".
But despite the significant change in attributes, the core attribute of this equipment, namely, ‘making clones’, has not changed.
The maximum limit is 1024 clones, which is 32 times more than the 32 clones before the upgrade!
This is just two upgrades.
Upgrading to red quality, it has quadrupled.
Upgrading to gold quality, it has increased eightfold on the previous basis.
If there is another upgrade, won’t it increase sixteenfold?
More than ten thousand clones?
Countless thoughts popped up in Bai Ye’s mind.
But he knew in his heart that no matter how many clones there would be in the next level and whether the attributes would have other earth-shaking changes, there was no need to consider this issue in the long years to come.
Just upgrading to gold quality cost billions of Hunyuan units.
If it continues to upgrade, the cost is simply not something Bai Ye can afford.
It is estimated that at least before he goes to the battlefield outside the domain, the attributes of [Black Light Devourer] will not be improved.
The energy for making clones is completely sufficient, and Bai Ye directly increases the number of clones in the world ring of the main body.
With one more clone, whether it is comprehending the law or practicing swordsmanship or knife skills, the efficiency of practice can be greatly improved.
The sooner you get it out, the sooner you can get the benefits.
Since the "origin energy" in the [Black Light Devourer] is sufficient, Bai Ye will naturally not delay.
This time when he went to the "Garbage Star Field", although the [Black Light Devourer] was greatly improved, Bai Ye spent most of the huge fortune he had finally obtained.
Bai Ye did not sell all the Locke Divine Water he had obtained before, but only sold 600 cubic kilometers and auctioned it through the channel of the Universe Galaxy Bank. After deducting the handling fees, he recovered 5.26 billion Hunyuan units.
Upgrading the [Black Light Devourer] cost a total of 4.71 billion Hunyuan units, leaving 550 million.
This money is not much, but it is enough to do a lot of things.
Before returning to the Qianwu Continent, Bai Ye placed a large number of orders through the channel of the Universe Galaxy Bank, buying treasures to improve the strength of his family, and buying spaceships, weapons, equipment, etc. for himself and his clones.
He also gave Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen a sum of money each, so that they could improve their "foundation" as much as possible before going to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.
…
The two-year deadline is coming, and Bai Ye bids farewell to his family reluctantly. Bai Ye, Luo Feng, Hong and others leave the earth and go to Qianwuzhu Continent.
However, in secret, Bai Ye still left a clone on the earth and Qiulong Star.
As for whether these two clones can be preserved across an "initial universe", Bai Ye is not sure.
If there is an immortal or even a world master, there will be no problem.
But Bai Ye's current strength is not that strong. Whether the connection between the clone and the original body can be maintained across an endless distance, Bai Ye is not sure.
Anyway, it's just an attempt, and it doesn't matter if it fails.
Although the next meeting in reality may be many years later, it can be seen at any time in the virtual universe, so it's no problem to relieve the longing.
Only by improving one's own strength to a strong enough level can one protect the family and hometown that one values. Bai Ye has been very clear about this from beginning to end.
"The Qianwu Lord Continent is ahead. You don't have the authority to go there. Let's say goodbye here."
Bai Ye controlled the spacecraft to land on an uninhabited planet. Looking at the large group of slaves he brought from Earth, he said: "The control of the slave chip has been lifted, and the control chip has been handed over to you. From today, you are free."
These slaves are no longer useful, so Bai Ye simply fulfilled his promise in advance and gave them freedom.
Of course, before letting them go, Bai Ye used an advanced technological device in the universe to erase all their memories of their time on Earth.
Luo Feng also released a group of slaves who were not very helpful to his family, leaving only a few powerful cosmic-level slaves to protect his family. He also gave them secret methods and promised to give them freedom when he returned from the Virtual Universe Company.
Too many stellar-level and cosmic-level slaves staying on Earth is not a good thing for the development of the Earth.
"Thank you, Master."
The slaves all knelt down and watched Bai Ye and his party leave.
It's not that none of these slaves want to continue to follow Bai Ye and Luo Feng, but that the two are not interested in accepting these untalented subordinates.
After dropping off a large group of slaves on this uninhabited planet, leaving behind a few Class C spaceships and a small amount of cash, Bai Ye and his companions set off again and arrived at Qian Wuzhu Continent.
Bai Ye had already received a notice from his teacher in the virtual universe, and he took Luo Feng and his companions directly to the temple in the center of Qian Wuzhu Continent.
"Disciple greets the teacher."
Bai Ye stepped forward and saluted.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen also stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Lord of the Country."
