Chapter 79 Luxurious Castle, Worth the Money

Chen Yue parted ways with Carter, and finally he generously handed Carter 10 Qianwu coins.

This is equivalent to 10,000 Black Dragon Coins.

For Chen Yue, this money is just a drop in the bucket, but for Carter, it means that he can live in peace for quite a long time.

During the conversation with Carter, Chen Yue learned more information.

Carter is an apprentice level nine, while his brother Caron is a planetary level seven.

It was precisely because Charon worked at the anchorage port on Qilong Star that Carter, who was below the planetary level, was able to barely survive on this planet.

It's just survival.

Caron's job is somewhat similar to that of a waiter in a hotel on Earth, and occasionally he would receive extra tips from some dignitaries.

But even so, they want to buy a property on Qiulong Star to get a stable income.

This remains a distant dream for the brothers.

The setting sun slowly sinks to the horizon, and its afterglow spreads across the earth, dyeing the entire sky red.

Chen Yue realized that it was getting late, so he started walking towards the meeting place agreed upon with Luo Feng and the others.

When he hurried over, as expected, Luo Feng and the other two had been waiting there for a long time.

Chen Yue walked through the bustling crowd on the first floor and then stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Squeak-"

His footsteps echoed on the stairs.

When he reached the second floor, he found Luo Feng and two others in a hidden corner.

They sat around a table, surrounded by the quiet murmurs of conversation and the warm yellow lights.

The space is filled with the aroma of tea. The wooden chairs and carved screens appear simple and elegant, while the exquisite tea sets add a touch of traditional charm.

All this made Chen Yue feel a little nostalgic, and he couldn't help but think of the Chinese teahouses on Earth.

"Chen Yue, the place you chose is indeed good." Hong commented with a smile.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Chen Yue asked, his eyes scanning several people in turn.

He could see that several people were still a little unsatisfied.

"Let's have something to drink first," Hong suggested.

"Okay." Chen Yue agreed and then gently touched the table.

The menu of drinks in the store immediately appeared on the table. Although it was called a teahouse, it provided much more than just tea. There was a wide variety of drinks and food.

Chen Yue randomly selected a few items, not caring about the prices.

"Teacher, the prices in this store are quite high." Luo Feng reminded out of concern.

With Babata's detailed explanation, he has a clearer understanding of the universe's monetary system, although it is still limited to the three types of Silver-Blue Coins, Black Dragon Coins and Qianwu Coins.

"It's okay." Chen Yue answered lightly with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that Chen Yue has gained a lot this time." Babata in the space in Luo Feng's wrist jumped out and joked playfully.

"Ah."

With only one word in his answer, Chen Yue had already begun to release the Force.

A transparent space barrier slowly formed around them, spreading out like invisible water waves, making a buzzing sound.

This barrier not only blocks out the noise from the outside world, but also ensures that their conversation cannot be heard by others.

"Luo Feng's Arc Blade Disc was sold for 200 billion Black Dragon Coins." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Well, the price is reasonable. But how do you carry so much money on you?" Babata asked curiously.

"I opened an account at the Universe Galaxy Bank." Chen Yue responded to Babata with a look as if he were a mentally retarded person.

"Huh, that's quite clever." Babata said approvingly.

"This way it will be convenient for you to transfer money to me in the future." Chen Yue added with a smile.

"Hmph!" Babata snorted.

The money Chen Yue mentioned actually refers to the three accounts that Hu Yanbo left for Luo Feng. He knew that these accounts were all in the Universe Galaxy Bank.

Soon, Chen Yue got Luo Feng's bank account information and transferred 100 billion Black Dragon coins. Before that, he had already reached an agreement with Babata that he and Luo Feng would each get half.

After learning that Hong and Lei Shen also had Universe Galaxy Bank accounts, Chen Yue transferred 50 billion Black Dragon Coins to each of them.

“Chen Yue, this…” Hong was shocked because the amount of money was not small.

"Master, you and Thor must accept this money. Don't forget the purpose of our coming here. Besides, I still have some money. I have already sold the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship." Chen Yue explained.

"Thank you!" Hong nodded solemnly, deeply moved.

He knew that since Chen Yue sold the spaceship, it meant that he might need more money, but he still generously gave them some.

"I won't be polite anymore, Your Majesty the Human Emperor." Thor said gratefully and jokingly.

"Master of the Thunder God Pavilion, besides Luo Feng, you are the only one who has not comprehended a domain. Why don't we have a competition? Maybe I can be of help to you." Chen Yue narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, my big brother has bullied me enough, and now you come too..." Thor said helplessly.

Then, several people laughed heartily.

Babata asked Chen Yue curiously: "Now that you've sold the spaceship, what are you going to do next?"

Chen Yue replied with a serious look on his face: "Although the spaceship is luxurious, it is of no practical use to our practice."

"Money should be spent in the right place," Chen Yue added.

Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes, the most important thing now is to increase our strength."

"I plan to practice on Qiulong Star for a while, and when I need to leave, I will buy an ordinary spaceship." Chen Yue explained the plan in detail. Babata asked another question: "Where do you plan to live?"

"I live on Qiulong Star." Chen Yue answered concisely.

"Living on Qiulong Star? Do you have any idea how expensive the real estate here is?" Babata asked worriedly.

Chen Yue smiled and said with a bit of mystery: "I know, follow me."

After paying the bill, Chen Yue led the three people towards the castle area.

All four of them possessed planetary-level strength, making flying effortless for them.

After flying for about ten minutes, the scene below gradually became clear.

They looked down at the densely packed buildings, with small castles coming into view, the scenery was spectacular and prosperous.

"I've inquired about it. The most affordable properties on Qiulong Star are these manors that are only 1 kilometer long and wide." Babata said proudly.

"But even the cheapest one would cost more than 10 billion Black Dragon Coins." Babata said to Chen Yue, "You wouldn't really buy the property here?"

"No, how could I buy this manor?" Chen Yue denied.

"That's good. I was wondering where you got so much money." Babata breathed a sigh of relief.

They flew for a few more minutes and Chen Yue began to slow down.

"Look there!" Thor's eyes lit up and he pointed to the city in the distance.

The city was elegant in shape and as vast as a large city on Earth.

"Those are some of the most luxurious mansions on the Qiulong Star. Each castle is 9.8 kilometers long and wide. Only big shots can own such castles," Babata explained.

"A 9.8-kilometer castle? So huge?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

"What's so strange about that? Your master's residence is an entire planet. But don't think too much. On a prosperous planet like Qiulong Star, land is very expensive. A castle that is 9.8 kilometers long and wide is considered top luxury. We can't afford it right now." Babata continued.

Hong and Lei Shen have joined Yunmo Star under Luo Feng's persuasion, so Babata no longer hides Hu Yanbo's affairs from them.

"We're here." Chen Yue said with a smile. He aimed at a castle below and then dived down.

Everyone was stunned, but they still followed Chen Yue and flew down.

Under the blue sky, a brand new castle stood. It was so large that it was 9.8 kilometers long and wide, like a huge city.

The castle's outer walls are carefully built of smooth grey-white stones, and the edges are decorated with delicate sculptures and vine patterns, showing a solemn and vivid beauty.

At the four corners of the castle stand four huge corner towers, their spires covered with golden tiles.

"Is this what you bought?" Babata asked in shock.

"Yeah." Chen Yue responded simply.

"Are you crazy? This will cost a lot of money, right?" Babata asked.

"Do you want to stay here?" Chen Yue asked back.

"Of course!"

"Actually, it's not that bad. It only cost 1000 billion Black Dragon Coins." Chen Yue said calmly.

"Fuck!" Babata couldn't help but swear.

Money should be spent in the right place.

Who the hell said this?

Babata naturally didn't understand Chen Yue's plan, and Chen Yue was too lazy to explain it to him.

It is still a long time before the Nuo Lanshan family discovers the Earth, so Chen Yue is not in a hurry to return to Earth.

Therefore, he will stay on Qiulong Star for quite a long time.

Since I'm staying here, of course I need a decent place to live.

Influenced by Chinese culture, Chen Yue felt that investing in a residence was far more cost-effective than investing in a spacecraft.

Of course, it refers to the expenses on the spacecraft, such as the Heilongshan X81 he sold.

If it was a higher-level spaceship, as long as he could use it, Chen Yue would not sell it even if he was short of money.

Moreover, with his current strength, he is still far from being able to travel around the universe.

Chen Yue took a deep breath and looked at the entire castle.

He knew in his heart that this would become a small home for them on Qiulong Star.

The main tower of the castle stood in the middle, towering into the clouds, showing an unparalleled momentum.

The castle is surrounded by a wide moat. The water is crystal clear and colorful lotus and water lilies are floating on the water, which complement the surrounding green grass and open flowers, forming a harmonious natural landscape.

A drawbridge spans the moat and connects to the main gate of the castle, and the huge gate is carved with exquisite reliefs.

"Wow! This is too shocking."

“It’s so luxurious.”

Several people exclaimed in admiration and then walked into the castle.

Inside the castle, there is a wide central street paved with smooth cobblestones and lined with neatly planted trees on both sides.

There is a huge square in the center, which can be used for grand gatherings and celebrations.

There are small shops on both sides of the square.

Further inland, residential areas and parks are scattered around.

It's literally a small city.

"How is it? Was it worth the money?" Chen Yue looked at the few people with a smile.

Several people fell into deep thought.
