Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 25 'Stepping Stone - Berlan' Plan (Please continue reading)
"It was just a coincidence." Luo Feng stepped forward to greet him, "I'll have to trouble the alluring councilor to take me to see the master."

Yao Rao couldn't help but be surprised by Luo Feng's rapid advancement, but she didn't show it. Instead, she spoke in a friendly and gentle voice, "You don't need to call me Councilor Yao Rao. Just call me Yao Rao. We're all at the planetary level, and you'll be a councilor soon too."

Luo Feng entered the enchanting fighter jet.

With a whoosh, the fighter jet took off and headed towards Hongning Base City.

Within the system space, Chen Qi pondered his next goal. His short-term objective was to acquire the legacy of 'Master of Meteorite Star - Hu Yanbo'.

His long-term goal is to focus on the 'Genius Battle'!
This allows Luo Feng to demonstrate the level of a cosmic genius like 'Kodi', obtain extremely high-level training resources, and hide a large number of trump cards to prevent risks.

But one must become a genius of the 'Kodi' level.

Shouldn't he at least get first place in the Genius Battle? Koti is a genius several levels above Berlan!

However, in the normal timeline, when Luo Feng entered the Genius Battle, the gap between him and Bo Lan was quite large. When they first crossed the 'Bridge to Heaven', apart from Bo Lan, no one in Luo Feng's generation of Genius Battle could pass the first level of the Bridge to Heaven.

But Berlan successfully passed both the first and second levels!
Moreover, Berlan arrogantly chose a more difficult path of cultivating both time and space simultaneously, yet he was still far superior to other geniuses of his generation.

"It is only mid-August 2056 now."

"In terms of time, there should still be a long time before the Genius Battle."

Chen Qi quickly summarized:

"With me here, I will make sure that Luo Feng can use 'Bolan' as a stepping stone to reach the top of the Genius Battle!"

"Let's call this growth plan the 'Stepping Stone - Berlan' Plan!"

Hongning Base City.

The Qiankun-class fighter jet carrying Luo Feng and Yao Rao landed on the tarmac, and the two disembarked simultaneously.

"Chen Qi, let's get a fighter jet too, that would make traveling much more convenient." Luo Feng had ridden in a fighter jet a few times and was quite envious.

Chen Qi replied, "That's easy. We have quite a few Gluttonous Fruits right now. I'll have you exchange them for a large number of 'Ancient Civilization Relics' later, and we'll also get a King-level fighter jet. Those relics will definitely contain a lot of high-level and precious materials."

“I return them to the system, and we can get a lot of things out of the loan.”

"Upgrading and modifying the King-class fighter jet is nothing."

We arrived at a quiet teahouse.

‘Dong dong~’

Luo Feng knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Upon entering the room, Luo Feng immediately noticed Hong.

Hong Zheng, dressed in black, sat in a chair sipping tea, seemingly cultivating his composure. He gestured to the seat opposite him and said:

"sit down."

Luo Feng sat down.

Hong waved his hand, and a box appeared. He pushed it in front of Luo Feng and said, "This is the 'Sky-Piercing Shuttle,' and it's yours now."

"Thank you, Master."

Luo Feng pulled the box over and placed it beside him, feeling somewhat excited. He remembered Chen Qi saying that the "Sky Shuttle" here was a third-tier psychic weapon, which was actually only affordable for "cosmic-level" experts!

This is because Hong didn't know the real situation and didn't need it himself; otherwise, he would never have given it to him so readily.

Although he was looking forward to it, Luo Feng didn't rush to open it. Since Hong said it was inside, he wouldn't lie. If he rushed to open it now, wouldn't that mean he didn't believe what Hong said?

"Master, I'd like to exchange something with you," Luo Feng said, bringing up another important matter.

Hong nodded slightly and said, "Let me see that kind of fruit first."

"Here you go." Luo Feng also waved his hand, and a 'Gluttonous Fruit' appeared in his palm, which he handed to Hong.

Storage containers?

Hong blinked. Storage devices were very rare on Earth, and the fact that Luo Feng possessed one made him believe that Luo Feng had had some fortuitous encounters. However, he quickly took the fruit and examined it for a few moments.
I didn't see anything.

"This fruit is called the 'Gluttony Fruit.' Eating it can stimulate the 'gluttony' characteristic of a martial artist's cells, thereby greatly increasing the speed of refining cosmic energy and the 'absorption capacity' of the body's cells, thus accelerating the improvement of physical fitness," Luo Feng briefly introduced the Gluttony Fruit.

Hong nodded and said, "Since it's a transaction, I need to determine the value of this item first, and then I'll give you the corresponding price list."

Soon, a person came in and took away the 'Gluttonous Fruit'. Hong was in no hurry and drank tea with Luo Feng in the tea room. Hong did not ask Luo Feng about the secrets of the opportunity, and just waited.

It seemed as if he didn't care much about that gluttonous fruit.

Two or three hours later.

The staff returned and presented Hong with a data sheet, saying, "We used special instruments from ancient civilization to verify the effects. Please take a look, Curator."

Hong took the information sheet and carefully examined the effects of the 'Gluttony Fruit'.

Luo Feng observed that after Hong saw the specific effects, his expression clearly showed surprise, as if he hadn't expected the effect to be so good.

"This stuff is indeed good, but compared to my 'Dragon Blood,' the effect of a single pill is somewhat inferior."

"However, although the effect of using this 'Gluttonous Fruit' continuously on a single day will be reduced, once the body has recovered and digested energy normally in a day, the effect of using this 'Gluttonous Fruit' again will not decrease."

Hong thought this was very strong.

Suppose you want to cultivate a high-level war god, you only need to let him use 'Dragon Blood' once or twice. After the effect of Dragon Blood is no longer good, you can use 'Gluttony Fruit' to cultivate. Then you can quickly create a 'high-level war god'!
This saves a lot of time, allowing those who could only reach the level of High-level War God to have more time to cultivate, thus having the hope of surpassing War God and reaching the level of Councilor!

"The effect is quite good, but unfortunately this stuff is useless to me."

"It can only be used as a reward for the 'Elite Training Camp'."

"I plan to set it at 0.2 stars. One portion of 'Dragon Blood' is worth 1 star to me. One portion of Dragon Blood is generally ten times more effective than 'Gluttony Fruit,' but the effect of Dragon Blood will decrease."

“Furthermore, the ‘Gluttonous Fruit’ can also accelerate the absorption and conversion of the medicinal power of ‘Dragon Blood’, so the value of one Gluttonous Fruit is higher than ‘one-tenth of a portion of Dragon Blood’. What do you think of this purchase price?” Hong said, word by word.

Luo Feng and Chen Qi discussed it.

Both of them found it acceptable. Chen Qi remembered that 'Mu Ya Jing' could help apprentices reach the eighth or ninth level, with a high probability of breaking through to the first level of planetary cultivation, and it could also cultivate plant life. Hong's purchase price was only 20 stars per piece.

One hundred Gluttonous Fruits can be exchanged for one Woody Crystal, which is quite a good price.

For Chen Qi and his group, there are as many 'Gluttonous Fruits' as they want, enough to even raise a 'High-Level War God' army.

They were just too lazy to waste their precious cultivation time.

What's the point of hunting monsters and training humans just to raise war gods who are of no help to you?
If you want subordinates, you can easily buy star-level slaves in the universe.

Luo Feng responded:

"I accept this price."

Hong nodded. At the price of 0.2 stars, Hong knew he was actually at a disadvantage. In terms of value, this 'Gluttonous Fruit' was worth 0.2 stars. People in China, America, and other places on Earth would definitely want this kind of item.

0.2 stars is a very high value.

But it's not worth it for Hong. He's already at the sixth level of the planetary realm, and he only needs this kind of thing to train the next generation.

However, Hong was happy with this arrangement. He felt that since the fruit was so precious and Luo Feng had used a lot of it, how much could be left? He figured he could just take it all and save Luo Feng the trouble of running around trying to exchange it with other countries.

He could easily eat all of this fruit by himself!
