Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 237 Large-scale transaction within Hongmeng City

In the virtual universe of Thunder Island, within the temple of the Lord of Ice Peaks.

"That's right, I asked Hongmeng to invite you."

The Lord of Ice Peaks answered Chu He's question quite readily.

"As for specific information about the Hongmeng, you are now a member of the Hongmeng, so you can look up the detailed information about the Hongmeng yourself."

"Yes, disciple understands," Chu He replied respectfully.

At this moment, all the doubts in his heart finally disappeared completely.

Since it was the teacher who did it, then it's fine!

When it comes to secrecy, few within the Hong Alliance dare to oppose the Ice Peak Lord's orders.

The Hongmeng organization has an absolutely strict hierarchy!

Each member's status is determined based on their strength and contribution.

Those with higher positions naturally enjoy greater authority and more power.

After joining the Hongmeng, the strength of all official members is determined solely by their actual battle records.

The method for determining strength is also very simple: there will be star marks on the members' arm guards or chests.

From one star to seven stars, the stronger your battle record, the higher your star rating!

Chu He has only just joined the Hong Alliance and currently only has one star on his chest.

Afterwards, the [Hongmeng City Subsystem] of the virtual universe system will automatically determine the battle record and classify the strength based on the real-world battle record.

One star is generally considered to be of average quality in the Immortal King rank.

Two stars, the pinnacle of becoming a king.

Samsung, the ultimate king.

Four stars, invincible at the King level. Even novice Venerables of the Universe are usually classified into this level.

Five stars, the most venerable being in the universe.

Six stars, a supreme being of the universe.

The Seven Stars, the rulers of the universe.

Above that are the Palace Masters, who are at the level of the Lord of the Universe.

Currently, Chuhe's true strength is probably between three and four stars.

Even with all the most precious and supreme treasures, one's strength can barely reach the level of being an invincible king.

"Teacher, which identity should I use in Hongmeng City?" Chu He asked hurriedly, recalling the star on his chest.

"Naturally, I'll use the body of the [King of Calamity]..." The Lord of Ice Peak paused, then chuckled, "So you were waiting for me here!"

Wow!
With a wave of his sleeve, the Lord of Ice Peak caused the single star on Chu He's chest to instantly become three stars.

Correspondingly, his authority within Hongmeng was also upgraded to three-star level.

"Alright!" The Lord of Ice Peak looked at Chu He with a smile in his eyes. "Now your strength rating has been raised to three stars, which is enough to match your identity as [Xuanming]."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"That's all." Chu He bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple thanks you, Master."

"Okay." The Lord of Ice Peak nodded and added, "By the way, remember not to leave the barracks base for the next while, your senior brother might be looking for you."

Lord of Chaos?

Chu He was a little confused, but still obediently replied, "Yes, disciple will obey master's orders."

Anyway, he's going to deal with all the assets of those four peak-level kings, so he probably won't be leaving the barracks base anytime soon.

"Hmm, step back." With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Ice Peak caused Chu He's figure to vanish instantly.

……

Inside the study of Chuhe Manor in the Yuxiangshan Primitive Area.

Chu He sat on the sofa, quickly reviewing the detailed information about Hongmeng, and nodded slightly.

"As expected! Hongmeng City has gathered all the strongest members of the entire human race, as well as many alien races from the human camp, all of whom have been invited in!"

Within a race, the immortal kings, cosmic venerables, and even the cosmic lords who stand at the very pinnacle control the vast majority of the race's wealth.

The entire Hong Alliance has only a little over three million powerful individuals, yet they control the wealth and survival of humanity and numerous other races.

Extremely expensive and rare items among humans are generally traded within the Hongmeng Alliance.

These expensive treasures are only available to a large number of super-strong individuals within the Hong Alliance who are willing to pay high prices for them.

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, Chu He directly made a call request to his teacher, Xuanjing Wang.

Perhaps it's because Suspended Mirror King was his mentor, and they had enough time to interact...

Perhaps it's because the King of Suspended Mirrors is a forthright and unpretentious person...

In any case, Chu He would rather trouble Teacher Xuanjing Wang more than actively seek help from Teacher Bingfeng Zhizhu.

Even though Chu He knew that the Lord of Ice Peak actually doted on him, he always felt an invisible pressure shrouding him.

He was used to being respectful to his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, and sometimes he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Unlike when facing the King of Suspended Mirrors, he was completely relaxed and playful.

Therefore, unless it is a major matter, do not disturb the Lord of Ice Peak!

"Beep-beep-"

A figure quickly appeared on the screen in front of him; it was none other than the Suspended Mirror King.

King Suspended Mirror looked at Chu He with immense satisfaction in his eyes and teased, "Oh, look who this is! Isn't this the [King of Calamity] who's been making waves on the outer battlefield? What brings you to contact me?"

"Teacher," Chu He said with a grin, "who is that King Jingjie, and what is his relationship with me?"

"I have come to see you today because I have something to ask you."

"Hahaha, you little rascal..." King Suspended Mirror laughed heartily, "Speak up!"

“That’s right,” Chu He quickly said, “I obtained some fairly valuable spoils of war on the extraterritorial battlefield…”

"However, I feel that selling to the acquisition department of Virtual Universe Company is a bit of a loss. So I plan to ask you for help, teacher, to see if we can sell this batch of goods to Hongmeng."

"Oh?" The pointed ears on the top of Suspended Mirror King's head twitched slightly. "The spoils of war from those four peak-level Kings?"

Chuhe nodded.

"Sure, sure!" King Suspended Mirror agreed quickly. "The spoils from those four peak-level Kings should be at least 500 billion Chaos Units, right?"

"Such a large transaction, hehe, you truly are worthy of being my apprentice!"

Chuhe laughed along with him.

Actually, being able to sell such expensive treasures in Hongmeng City is quite an accomplishment!

The number of times that King Xuanjing has been able to make such a large-scale transaction since joining the Hongmeng millions of epochs is extremely limited.

This time, thanks to Chu He, he can show off to the Hongmeng.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to use his connections to find a way to sell this batch of goods at a high price!

"Teacher, here are the details of the spoils I'm selling. I'll send them to you." Chu He sent an email directly. "The Virtual Universe Company's acquisition department has set the price at 4200 billion Mixed Yuan Units for these spoils."

When Xuanjing Wang opened the detailed list of information sent by Chuhe and heard "4280 billion", he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Such a good product, and the acquisition department only offered a price of 4280 billion?"

"It's so dark! It's really dark!"

Before long, King Suspended Mirror had a general idea of ​​the detailed list. It must be said that the treasures accumulated by these four peak-level kings over countless years were indeed diverse and varied.

For example, in King Tailing's World Ring, there is a set of silver armor that can withstand 50% of material attacks.

This silver battle suit alone could sell for 500 billion Chaos Units in Hongmeng.

In addition, this world ring also contains treasures that can promote the rapid recovery of a divine body.

Chu He realized that this item was useless to him, so he decided to sell it along with the other items.

A rough calculation suggests that the spoils of war amassed by the four peak-level kings are each worth between 1080 billion and 1530 billion.

Such a huge gain made King Suspended Mirror nod repeatedly.

"Alright! Leave this to me. I'll help you sell it for the highest possible price!"

"This will take anywhere from three to five days to ten days. Just wait patiently for my news."

"Snapped!"

Without saying much, King Xuanjing hurriedly shut down the communication and went to help Chuhe resolve the matter.

"At most ten days?"

Chu He sat on the sofa and casually swiped to create a light screen. "In that case, I'll start researching Hongmeng City in advance!"

……

"Wow, what a huge city!" Chu He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the pictures and videos of Hongmeng City.

The headquarters of the Hongmeng is located in a special dimensional space within the virtual universe.

According to the information, that virtual dimensional space contains countless stars. At the center, surrounded by these stars, stands a colossal, floating ancient city!

This ancient city, suspended among the stars, is the headquarters of the Hongmeng Alliance—[Hongmeng City].

Hongmeng City is a gathering place for the alliance of humans and a large number of alien races, and can be described as a place where powerful people abound.

"Hongmeng City is divided into the outer city, the inner city, and the Hongmeng Palace." Chu He watched the video and exclaimed, "Within the entire Hongmeng City, there are more than 300 million King-level Immortals among the various alien races."

"And among them, the number of human immortals is just over 10!"

In the video, an ancient city surrounded by numerous stars floats in the starry sky.

More than 300 million immortal kings from various races have gathered here, and most of them live in the outer city.

And the inner city...

Only those whose strength is classified as four-star to six-star are qualified to live in the inner city.

Therefore, the inner city is almost entirely populated by cosmic venerables!
There are thousands of cosmic supreme beings among humankind.

At the very heart of the entire Hongmeng City stands a magnificent and mysterious palace, millions of kilometers high—this is the [Hongmeng Palace]!
Overall, the palace resembles a giant sword poised to pierce the starry sky.

The Seven Star Overlords reside in the Hongmeng Palace.

As for the various hall masters of the Hongmeng Hall, they are beings who transcend the [Seven Stars].

It is precisely because of these temple masters that humanity has been able to become the ruler of the entire Hong Alliance!
……

"Hurry to Hongmeng City!"

Just as Chu He was looking through the relevant information about Hongmeng, an email from Xuanjingwang arrived.

Chu He stood in his manor and immediately activated the teleportation.

As a member of the Hongmeng Alliance, he now has one more teleportation target within his current authority: [Hongmeng City].

call out!
Chu He vanished into thin air and was directly teleported to another dimension.

"Is this Hongmeng City?"

Chu He appeared in a living room of about 1,000 square meters, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although it was already known that all official members of the Hongmeng City's outer city had the same residence, which occupied 3200 square meters.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a slight pang of disappointment.

It's all virtual space... this area is way too small!
Chu He sighed and stretched his body slightly.

Hongmeng City is a platform for all powerful individuals to exchange ideas and gather. Therefore, all powerful individuals in Hongmeng City maintain their physical fitness at the apprentice level.

Extremely fragile!

Not only those who are enfeoffed as kings, but even those who are cosmic venerables have such fragile bodies within this Hongmeng City.

Because everyone's physical strength and Force strength are the same, the only difference is the strength of their consciousness. Therefore, as long as one restrains the pressure of consciousness here, one can completely hide their strength.

In other words, within Hongmeng City, the strength of all powerful individuals cannot be determined from their appearance alone.

Hongmeng City has more than 3 million residents in its outer city, distributed across various residential communities, each with a fixed maximum of 10,000 residents.

Following the address given by his teacher, Suspended Mirror King, Chu He soon arrived at a residential area with a completely different style.

The other trading areas, hiring areas, appraisal areas, auction houses, casinos, etc., will have to wait until next time to explore them in detail.

Push the door open and enter.

At first glance, three figures were sitting on three sides of a table of food and drink.

The throne naturally belongs to the King of Suspended Mirrors.

On the left side of the banquet table stood a powerful alien warrior with blue wings and crimson eyes.

On the right side of the banquet was a tall figure covered in purple scales, with a vertical eye between his eyebrows.

"Haha..." King Suspended Mirror laughed, "King Shocking Calamity, come, let me introduce you. These two are both powerful beings from other races."

The Blue-winged, Crimson-eyed King of Bats.

The Rongji King with purple scales and vertical eyes.

Both of the alien powerhouses had smiles on their faces, with the Rongji King, who had purple scales and vertical eyes, even laughing:
"Is this the King of Calamity who just shone brightly on the extraterritorial battlefield? Tsk tsk, I never expected that you, King of Suspended Mirror, could actually be associated with such a powerful figure!"

"Hmm?" King Suspended Mirror glanced sideways at King Rongji. "I'm a veteran King of the Limit, after all. Is it really that surprising that I know a King of Tribulation?"

"Hahahaha!" The blue-winged, red-eyed Bat King chuckled and urged, "Let's talk about that later, let's finish the transaction first, shall we?"

"Excellent, excellent!" King Rongji nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Let's make the deal first."

Both King Weifu and King Rongji are immortal merchants who engage in large-scale transactions.

Of course, the reason for choosing to trade with Chuhe was also to make friends with King Jingjie.

"Okay." Chu He nodded.

After a brief conversation, the three quickly agreed on a transaction method—using Virtual Universe Company as their intermediary.

Virtual Universe Company is responsible for delivery and confirmation of goods. This intermediary business charges a maximum of 1000 Hunyuan and a minimum of 1 Hunyuan.

Chu He and his team's deal...

Since both King Weifu and King Rongji are outside human territory, and Chuhe is even in an extraterritorial battlefield, both intermediary fees are the full 1000 Hunyuan units.

However, for Chu He, who was about to receive a huge sum of 5140 billion Hunyuan units, these 1000 Hunyuan units were just a small amount of money and not worth mentioning at all.

After the deal was settled, King Wei Fu and King Rong Ji naturally wanted to befriend King Jing Jie, and repeatedly offered him wine.

They set up a banquet and chatted while eating.

Midway through the banquet, a team from the virtual universe company went to the 065th military base in the fifth star field to collect goods from Chu He.

After the goods were confirmed, the payments from King Weifu and King Rongji were deposited into Chuhe's account.

"Hmm?" Chu He's expression suddenly changed as he was discussing his experiences on the battlefield beyond the domain at the banquet.

He just received an email.

"They're actually going to convene a top-level meeting?"
