Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 83: 500 billion cosmic bodyguards, three months of castle construction
On the day Luo Feng left Qiulong Star, Arya found Chen Yue through the virtual universe network.

This time it was Arya who initiated the contact, so she was dressed neatly and looked particularly serious.

"Mr. Chen Yue, I have arranged everything you asked me to do. There are three construction plans in total." Arya said very competently.

Chen Yue's interest was piqued. "Oh? Then tell me in detail."

"First, the first option is for a cosmic-level expert to lead the construction of the castle. This will take three years to complete, and the cost will naturally be high. The starting price is 3 billion Black Dragon Coins."

Arya's voice came clearly in the virtual space, as if she was standing in front of Chen Yue, and the blueprint for building the castle was gradually unfolding between them.

"The second option is to have a stellar-level expert lead the construction. This will take five years to complete, but the price is much cheaper, only 5 billion Black Dragon Coins."

"The third option..."

Before Arya could continue, Chen Yue interrupted with a smile: "Let's choose the first option."

Chen Yue thought about it quickly and made a decision soon.

In the universe, under normal development.

Only the countless planets in a galaxy can give birth to a cosmic-level strongman.

Once a cosmic-level powerful being joins a cosmic country, he can effortlessly obtain dozens of planets as his own territory.

Moreover, even a first-level cosmic slave is worth at least 10 trillion Black Dragon Coins in the slave market.

Therefore, it was definitely worth the money to hire a cosmic-level expert to supervise the castle construction for three years at the price of 500 billion Black Dragon Coins.

Chen Yue knew in his heart that this was not only not a loss, but an extremely cost-effective deal.

This is equivalent to having a cosmic-level bodyguard by your side!

And it's three years.

Thinking of this, Chen Yue agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, he developed a strong curiosity about Arya's true identity.

She must be more than just a simple residential salesperson, there must be a deeper background behind her. However, since she didn't say anything, Chen Yue didn't intend to dig deeper.

"Hehe, Mr. Chen Yue is such a smart man." Arya's bell-like smile was transmitted into Chen Yue's ears through the virtual network.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Arya." Chen Yue responded modestly.

After the contract was confirmed, Arya promised to start construction that afternoon.

Chen Yue was very satisfied with this, and he couldn't wait to tell Hong and Lei Shen the good news.

Hong and Lei Shen are also full of expectations for the future castle.

--------

Time flies, and three months go by in a flash.

Various Chinese-style buildings have begun to be built inside the castle.

According to Chen Yue's careful planning, a spacious square was retained in the center. The east side of the square was developed into a bustling commercial area, while the west side was planned as a comfortable and pleasant residential area.

The north side is set aside as a special training area.

"Chen Yue, have you seen Lady Jessica?" Hong asked Chen Yue as he walked.

"She should be in the commercial district. Come on, I'll take you to see her." Chen Yue replied with a smile.

The Jessica mentioned by Hong was the cosmic-level powerhouse who came to help build the castle.

Chen Yue took Hong and Lei Shen to the commercial district under construction. There, modern buildings with Chinese style were gradually rising from the ground, showing the perfect fusion of classical charm and modern atmosphere.

Suddenly, a burly man with a full beard and a height of three meters noticed the arrival of Chen Yue and his companions. Seeing them approaching, he quickly walked to the front with a brisk step.

"Mr. Chen Yue." Jessica bowed to Chen Yue with full respect.

"Mr. Jessica, there's no need to be so restrained." Chen Yue quickly returned a salute, indicating that he didn't need to be so formal.

After three months of getting along, Chen Yue has gained a deeper understanding of Jessica's identity.

It turned out that he was a personal slave purchased by a prominent figure on Qiulong Star for his younger generation.

Later, as her master's power grew, Jessica's protection became redundant, so she was sold to a businessman.

The businessman was quite business-minded and did not choose to resell Jessica again. Instead, he figured out a way to make him work for a long time to earn a profit.

However, this is not the main purpose of businessmen.

His deeper plan was to take advantage of Jessica's help in renovating the castle so as to curry favor with the powerful people on Qilong Star and thus enhance his own status and influence.

Jessica has become accustomed to having no freedom. After all, her current job does not bring any danger.

He usually served the children of some big families. These employers often had no respect for him as a cosmic level, but as a slave, Jessica was accustomed to this.

Chen Yue is different.

He had a deep respect for Jessica and never viewed him as a slave or a drudge.

Chen Yue said politely: "Mr. Jessica, my two brothers would like to ask you some questions about cultivation."

He gestured to Hong and Lei Shen beside him.

In private, Chen Yue was used to calling them both "Hall Masters", but in front of outsiders, he respectfully called Hong and Lei Shen "brothers".

Jessica responded gently: "Oh, if you have any questions, I am willing to share with you what I know."

He could see that Chen Yue and Hong were both planetary-level geniuses, which shocked him greatly.

As a cosmic seventh-level being, he himself was only at the eighth level of the domain, barely able to touch the threshold of the law. On his planet, this was already considered a genius.

Hong asked, "Mr. Jessica, what is above the domain?" There was a desire to explore in his voice.

Jessica was stunned for a moment, not understanding why they asked this. In his opinion, Chen Yue and the others must have a powerful mentor behind them.

"Even for stellar-level warriors, few can have their own domains. It is really rare that you two have mastered your domains at the planetary level. I guess you must have a very outstanding teacher guiding you." Jessica turned her eyes to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue, Hong and Lei Shen exchanged glances, and they understood each other tacitly.

Chen Yue explained with a wry smile: "To be honest, our teacher only provided us with cultivation resources and did not personally teach us how to cultivate. He always said that this was to hone us."

Jessica was surprised and believed it at the same time.

He was even more convinced that the teacher behind these three young people must be very powerful.

Jessica elaborated on the levels of cultivation in detail, his voice calm: "The path of cultivation is divided into four major levels: foundation, artistic conception, realm, and world."

He continued, "Once you master the domain, you can integrate genetic energy, physical strength, mental power, and consciousness into one, triggering resonance in the universe."

“When the realm reaches the eighth or ninth level, the affinity to the laws will reach a standard, and then one will be able to touch the threshold of the laws. Once one touches the laws, one will be considered to be among the strong.” Jessica’s eyes flashed with a yearning for a higher realm.

He sighed and said, "As for gaining recognition from the laws, that is a long and difficult road. Many Realm Masters find it difficult to reach that step in their entire lives..." During this brief pause, even the air seemed to become heavy.

Chen Yue, Hong and Lei Shen listened attentively.
