People are devoured and become Luo Feng's golden finger

Chapter 254 The Problems of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce

After seeing that Qianwu had accepted Biyou Palace, Luo Feng cleared his throat and said shyly,

"Teacher, I need a lot of precious materials for my cultivation recently, but money..."

money?
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, directly interrupting Luo Feng's next words, "As a disciple of my Qianwu Kingdom, how can you be short of money?"

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and he briefly diverted his attention to the virtual universe, quickly completing the transfer.

"Wow, boss, ten trillion Chaos Units have been deposited into your Cosmic Galaxy Bank main account!" Babata's voice rang in Luo Feng's mind.

Ten trillion mixed units?
Upon hearing this number, Luo Feng felt a surge of security, knowing that he wouldn't be short of money for the time being.

Although selling Biyou Palace would yield wealth a hundred or a thousand times greater than ten trillion Chaos Units, this method—which enhances Luo Feng's strength and survival abilities while ensuring a safe and risk-free path to wealth—is the best option for him at present.

What he lacks is not hundreds of trillions of mixed units, but simply enough resources to accelerate his growth at this stage.

"Thank you, teacher." Luo Feng bowed respectfully.

"It's just a mere ten trillion Chaos Units. If we run out later, we can just tell our teacher," the Qianwu Kingdom Lord said gently.

If the eighteen generals and ministers under the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler were to see him in this gentle state, they would be utterly astonished.

Qianwu, your persona has collapsed!

However, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said that there was nothing that could be done about it.

This disciple of mine has given me far too much. I can never repay this debt of gratitude and the bond between master and disciple!

After Luo Feng left the Qianwu Secret Realm.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, seated in the main hall, glanced at his account balance.

"There are still 22 trillion mixed units remaining."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom felt a little pained and sentimental.

What pained him was that this was the wealth he had accumulated over countless years, and the largest sum of money he had when he was in debt. He didn't know how his disciple had squandered it all, spending all ten trillion Chaos Units that he had bestowed upon him in just a few hundred years.

This wealth, even if he wanted to accumulate it, would normally take a long time. After all, precious and rare treasures cannot be found just anywhere.

Even if this wealth were given to an invincible king, it would be difficult for him to spend it all within a few hundred years.

However, on the other hand, being able to spend money is also a skill.

"King-level combat power," Qianwu pondered to himself. He had a premonition that his disciple would soon bring him even more astonishing news.

Qiongyu Star.

After leaving the Qianwu Secret Realm, Luo Feng did not return to the outer battlefield immediately.

Or rather, his body never intended to return to the outer battlefield—after mastering the first level of the Thousand Bodies Sacred Scripture, the ten bodies were both clones and the original body. As long as one body survived, the other nine bodies could be reassembled and resurrected.

Therefore, the safest method is naturally to disperse the ten clones to various places.

"From now on, this body will be stationed in the Milky Way."

Walking along the wide streets of Qiongyu Star, Luo Feng thought with a relaxed attitude.

Now that he has ample wealth, once he obtains the materials, he will be able to mass-produce Wang Jia, and each of his clones will be at the peak level of an ordinary King.

With such strength, it would be an overreaction to oversee an entire star system.

However, considering the unique nature of Earth, as well as his family, clan, and the Yanhuang Alliance, Luo Feng felt that this was very necessary.

Furthermore, he and his wife had been separated for over three hundred years. Luo Feng always felt guilty towards Xu Xin because, due to his cultivation, he and Xu Xin could not meet in person and could only chat through the virtual universe.

There are several reasons that helped Luo Feng become stronger, but one of the most important reasons is definitely his family.

Only absolute strength can protect one's family.

"It's been a while since I chatted with my wife." Luo Feng looked at the bustling city night market and had an idea. He then asked Babata to contact Xu Xin in the virtual universe.

In just one second, they made contact.

Virtual universe, Jiuxingwan residential villas.

Xu Xin, dressed in a women's suit, glared at Luo Feng with a resentful look. "So you still know how to contact me? It's been eight months already. The virtual universe is so convenient, can't you even meet in person?"

"Uh," Luo Feng felt guilty and didn't intend to reason with the woman. Instead, he comforted her, "From now on, I'll stay by your side. Wherever you go, I'll be there."

Even if the clones merge into one in the future, there will be no shortage of combat power provided by the clone. Just like Ji Ning in Desolate Era, when the clones merged, he deliberately left one clone behind. Firstly, it was more convenient, and secondly, it increased the margin for error and improved his ability to survive.

As the saying goes, you can only produce output if you survive.

Luo Feng has always adhered to this principle as his code of conduct. As long as it doesn't significantly affect his own strength, he is absolutely willing to sacrifice a little strength to gain a stronger ability to survive.

"Really?" Xu Xin's eyes widened, and her rosy lips parted slightly, making her look quite adorable.

Although Xu Xin is now several hundred years old, she still looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, and still looks pure and lovely.

This is why Xu Xin prefers to wear formal attire and heavy makeup, in order to make herself look more mature and have a stronger presence.

"Of course it's true." Luo Feng smiled gently and nodded emphatically.

When he is with his family, his mind becomes very peaceful. Bai has also said that in a peaceful state of mind, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the law is higher.

To a certain extent, one's state of mind can represent one's level of understanding.

And the level of comprehension undoubtedly helps in breaking through bottlenecks.

Xu Xin covered her mouth, looking at Luo Feng who had made the promise in disbelief.

In response, Luo Feng simply held him gently in his arms to comfort him.

After chatting sweetly for a while about everyday things, the two...
"You're on Xuanji Star?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has nine super administrative stars, two of which are Qiongyu Star and Xuanji Star. Xuanji Star is located next to the star system of Qiongyu Star, only about two million light-years away, which is not far.

"Yes, I've been on Xuanji Star all this time, busy with the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce."

After talking about this, Xu Xin was clearly annoyed and complained to Luo Feng, "Although because of you, husband, our Luo family business association has had a smooth journey in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom with almost no obstacles, some old families are still deliberately tripping us up behind the scenes."

Normally, Xu Xin wouldn't tell Luo Feng about such trivial matters, but perhaps it was the promise Luo Feng made today that broke down Xu Xin's strong defenses, making her much more delicate, and she poured out her heart to Luo Feng like a floodgate.

Yes, and he still harbors strong personal dissatisfaction.

Luo Feng listened quietly and patiently to his wife's various complaints, without becoming arrogant because of his great strength.

There are some things that even overwhelming power cannot completely and perfectly resolve. Of course, this might also be because the power itself is not strong enough.

By listening attentively, Luo Feng quickly grasped the current predicament of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce.

Because of the relationship between the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom and Luo Feng, and the widespread reputation of Luo Feng's genius among the human race, the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce initially developed very smoothly.

In each star system and star field, they can quickly establish themselves and develop into a large and influential merchant guild in the local area. As time goes by, with the massive amount of low-cost "good-priced items" manufactured and provided by Bai Chen, they further expand their market share and can easily become a regional hegemonic leading merchant guild.

Initially, due to the rapid development and the immense influence of Luo Feng's reputation, as well as the special care from the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, all the problems and conflicts were insignificant.

However, as time went by and the Chamber of Commerce entered a period of stability, these problems that had been hidden gradually came to light.

For example, some large and small business associations that were driven to the brink by the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce secretly sabotaged the operation, even using space pirates to plunder spaceships and cargo. Some even hired powerful undocumented lone wolves to hunt down members of the Luo Family.

It sounds incredible, after all, the Luo family is backed by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

But this is quite normal, because the strongest people who openly attack the Luo family are only at the Realm Lord level. When someone is driven to the brink, who cares about your powerful background? Since you're going to die anyway, you might as well take a gamble.

The universe is a dark jungle. If you want to develop, you will inevitably encroach on other people's territory and interests. And the struggle for interests is the most bloody thing.

Will the Luo family be affected by these trivial matters because of some clowns at the cosmic, domain lord, or world lord levels?

Definitely not.

They certainly wouldn't go out of their way to tell the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Because this matter is too trivial. If it gets out, it will only make our family lose face. Making a big deal out of it is too trivial. Even if the Luo family members were assassinated, or even if the Qianwu royal family were assassinated, killing millions or billions of them would not alarm the Qianwu king, or even an immortal god.

Because the scale of the Qianwu royal bloodline is measured in trillions, killing hundreds of millions of royal bloodlines in a day might not even equal the number of deaths from internal strife within the royal family.

Although the Luo family is not as large as the Qianwu royal family, after five hundred years of development, the Luo family's population has swelled to hundreds of thousands.

If we include the large group of women in the Luo family who have real relationships but no official Luo family status, the total population of the Luo family might even exceed one million.

With no resource constraints, long lifespans, or territorial limitations, the rate of human reproduction is simply astounding.

This is only because the initial population was too small. If the current population were used for reproduction, the Luo family's total population could easily reach billions in a few hundred years.

“Originally, plundering spaceship cargo and hunting down members of my Luo family wouldn’t be considered a very serious matter. After all, my Luo family has a large number of high-level mechanical puppets provided by you. Those space pirates and merchant guilds are nothing to worry about.”
"But in recent years, after our Luo Family Chamber of Commerce invested heavily in the resource star systems of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, some even more formidable rivals have emerged," Xu Xin said quietly.

After listening to this, Luo Feng had a better understanding of the situation.

Based on his guess, the forces that are now taking action against the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce are most likely part of the three hundred kings and marquises of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Logically speaking, as the personal disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler and possessing such extraordinary talent, the three hundred nobles, who are considered "one of their own," should not, and could not, have any conflict with the Luo family.

But as I said before, the struggle for interests is very cruel.

The Luo family has encroached upon too much of the original interests of the three hundred royal families, which has seriously affected their development and resource acquisition.

"It's not appropriate for me to intervene directly in this matter," Luo Feng said thoughtfully after a moment's thought.

Because this is merely a power struggle within a family, a contest among subordinates for survival and cultivation resources, the true masters of those royal families, the immortal gods, are probably unaware of these matters.

Luo Feng couldn't possibly use his power to intimidate people and force them to give up their interests. Not only did he look down on such a small amount of profit, but even if he did, such behavior would not be in line with his own bottom line.

Luo Feng even speculated that among the forces involved in suppressing the Luo family's business association, the Qianwu royal family was likely also secretly stirring things up; otherwise, the three hundred princes might not have dared to suppress or attack the Luo family.

With a large population, everything becomes incredibly complex.

"I didn't expect you to get involved over such a small matter." Xu Xin shook her head; she was simply venting her frustrations.

"But you've reminded me that it's time to update the family's trump cards and add some foundation," Luo Feng said with a slight smile.

The next moment, his figure disappeared into the virtual universe.

On the planet Xuanji, millions of light-years away, lies a super-luxurious classical manor spanning thousands of kilometers in length and width.

Luo Feng tore through space and descended beside Xu Xin with the golden light of the Divine Kingdom's teleportation.

Xu Xin carries with her the divine power tokens of Star-Eating Grass and Cloud-Moving Vine, which allows Luo Feng to easily descend upon his wife at any time.

Not only Xu Xin, but also his children, parents, and younger brother received the same treatment.

Xu Xin stared at the silver-armored man descending from the golden passage, her eyes glazed over. This was her man!
A prodigy among humans, the head of the Luo family, and the ruler of the Milky Way.
"Take this ring."

Luo Feng flashed to Xu Xin's side and handed his wife an enormous world ring with a smile.

Xu Xin took the ring, and with a brief examination using the power of the world, her eyes widened in surprise.

"This this"

As the de facto head of the Luo family, Xu Xin possesses a vast amount of wealth and resources, easily exceeding tens of millions of mixed yuan units.

But at this moment, Xu Xin suddenly realized that all the assets of the Luo family on the surface were less than one-thousandth of the value of the resources inside this world ring.

For example, the world ring contains an endless array of mechanical puppets, numbering in the millions and each ten meters tall.

Each mechanical puppet possesses the strength of an elite realm lord.
