Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng

Shortly after Babata placed his order and paid the deposit, the slightly overweight man led more than 1000 slaves off a Class B spaceship that had just entered the port.

The three who received the message had just stepped off the spaceship when the slightly overweight man jogged up to Qin Feng's ship and greeted him warmly, "Guest! All the slaves you purchased have been delivered. Would you be so kind as to acknowledge them as your masters now?"

"Okay! Here it is!"

"Okay! Please stand over here!"

Qin Feng followed the man to the line of slaves who were already waiting. A staff member brought by a slightly overweight man began to scan and record Qin Feng's information with an instrument.

Before long, with the staff's operation, all the slaves' eyes lost their luster. After an unknown amount of time, with a beep, the master recognition process was completed.

All the slaves slowly regained their senses, and the 1,002 slaves bowed in unison, "Greetings, Master!"

"Guest! The master transfer process is complete. Supreme control has been transferred to you. We will no longer be able to control these slaves."

A staff member walked over carrying a box and respectfully handed it to Qin Feng with both hands.

"Sir, this box contains 1,002 microchips for controlling biochips. Each microchip corresponds to one slave. You only need to insert it into the computer to operate it manually. The instructions are inside the box. Please inspect it."

Qin Feng took the box and had the experienced Monkey King check it over. After confirming there were no problems, he nodded.

"The handover is complete! It was a pleasure working with you!"

"It was a pleasure doing business with you. We look forward to welcoming you back again!"

"If I need this again, I'll contact you. Goodbye!"

Turning to face all the slaves, Qin Feng ordered, "Everyone, follow me into the spaceship."

"Yes, Master!"

Two Red Cloud Clan cosmic-level slaves led the way, and a large group of people boarded Qin Feng's triangular spaceship.

Fortunately, because Qin Feng had specifically instructed that the slaves he wanted should all resemble humans from Earth, none of these 1000 people were taller or larger than three meters. Otherwise, Qin Feng's small spaceship might not have been able to accommodate so many people.

Once inside the spaceship, after everyone arrived at the cabin, seeing the somewhat crowded environment, Qin Feng simply said: "None of you should resist."

Having said that, with a wave of his hand, everyone vanished from their spot and arrived at the plaza within the world ring. Qin Feng looked at the two cosmic-level slaves and asked, "What are your names?"

They were about 2.5 meters tall, with a build not much different from Earthlings. Apart from some red cloud patterns on their bodies, both the man and woman had a pair of crimson eyes.

The male slave spoke first: "Master, my name is Yunhe!"

The female slave continued, "Master, my name is Yunyan!"

"As two powerful beings at the cosmic level, although you are slaves I purchased, I will still give you basic respect. Here, apart from the lack of freedom, you will enjoy the most basic human rights and dignity."

The two men from the same clan exchanged a glance, inwardly relieved. They were lucky to have such a master, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

"No need for formalities! Yunhe! From now on, you will command 500 level-nine Rank-Eternal Spiritual Masters, and Yunyan will command the other 500 martial artists. Any questions?"

"Thank you, Master. We have no problem!"

"Alright, it's not convenient right now. I'll equip you with weapons after a while. From now on, our safety is in your hands."

This time, all the slaves bowed with their hands on their chests, shouting, "We swear to protect our master to the death!"

"Alright! This is my world ring space. You two should familiarize yourselves with your respective commanders' subordinates first. We'll head out now, and I'll release you when needed!"

"Yes, Master!"

The three reappeared in the spaceship's control room, and Babata's adorable demonic figure reappeared on the screen.

"Spaceship activated, accelerating, destination: White Orchid Star, estimated arrival time: nine days. Acceleration complete, commencing traversal of the dark universe. Successfully entered the dark universe."

"We still have nine days before we reach Bailan Star, Luo Feng! Let's log into the virtual universe! It's been so long since we've played in the virtual universe."

Luo Feng looked at Qin Feng and Yao Rao and asked, "What do you two say?"

With a face full of curiosity and eyes full of eagerness, Yao Rao looked at Qin Feng.

"I'm fine with it, let's go together!"

The three found seats and simultaneously called for a connection to the virtual universe in their minds.

Virtual universe connection in progress...

Their consciousness plunged into darkness. When they opened their eyes again, the three of them had arrived at a busy street. They were all dressed in simple gray clothes, with Babata, the monkey, and the little sprite that Yaorao had just bought, which had been transformed into a smart computer, sitting on their shoulders respectively.

The three of them looked around curiously at the crowds coming and going, and no one seemed surprised to see them.

"Is this the virtual universe? It feels almost identical to the real world!" Luo Feng remarked with some emotion.

"A virtual universe? How many years has it been since I've been here? I really miss it!" the monkey said wistfully.

Yao Rao looked at the little sprite on her shoulder with amazement. This little sprite, which she had just switched to using the intelligent light brain, was so cute. Although its intelligence was not as high as Qin Feng's and the others', and it did not seem as lively, Yao Rao was very satisfied.

"Qin Feng, the virtual universe is not very helpful to you right now, except for being a little more convenient. With your current permissions, apart from the killing space and the decisive battle space, it's not very useful. But it's not easy to improve your permissions in the virtual universe, at least not yet."

"It's okay! For me right now, this thing can only be used as a large communication platform. It's still good for practicing in the killing space occasionally."

"It's not very useful to me, but it'll be a huge asset to Yao Rao and Luo Feng. I'll explain the Killing Space to them later. Also, Monkey Brother, help me link my bank account!"

"Okay, it's in progress, please wait!"

"Bank account successfully linked. Is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

"I don't have anything I want to buy for now, but I might consider buying property here. Otherwise, it's a bit inconvenient to always end up on the street every time I log into the virtual universe!"

Qin Feng looked at Yao Rao and Luo Feng, who had finished communicating with their respective AIs and gained some understanding of the virtual universe, and asked, "What are your plans next?"

The two were also somewhat bewildered. They had already bought the necessary items outside, and now that they had entered the virtual universe, they were indeed at a loss for direction.

"Why don't we buy a property here?" Qin Feng suggested. "Otherwise, every time we log into the virtual universe, we'll end up on the street, without a fixed login point."
