Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Two planetary-level youths, four eternal-level bodyguards and two silver-level guards, and a meek and demure Mengbei tribe beauty—this strange group left the restaurant and walked down the street.

"Luo Feng, that's the Treasure Shop up ahead. They sell all sorts of strange and unusual treasures, all kinds of random things. The only thing they have in common is that they're all treasures! So they're all very expensive. Why don't you go take a look? It's not far from the slave market anyway," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

"A rare treasure shop? Okay." Luo Feng was also curious.

"This Qibao store may not be as comprehensive as some stores that specialize in telekinetic weapons or robots in terms of individual product selection, but its strength lies in its completeness. It's all about one-stop shopping without having to run around," Gao Sheng said with a smile. "Brother, you take a look first, and I'll take a look and have some fun too."

Luo Feng looked at the rows of projections. The chubby boy walked to the other side of the auxiliary area, followed timidly by the Mengbei girl, and then by four bodyguards.

"Come here." Gao Sheng beckoned to Sasha, grabbing her small hand. "Sasha, my name is Gao Sheng Weidi. I need a few maids. Would you be willing?"

"Sasha agrees!" The Mengbei girl nodded quickly, then mustered her courage and asked, "Master, how do you know my name?"

"Oh, I overheard that when I went into the restaurant." Gao Sheng chuckled and looked at Sasha. "Also, don't call me master. You're not a slave."

"Then?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Just call me Young Master."

"Yes, young master," Sasha replied happily.

"Sasha, how old are you? What's your rank?" Gao Sheng asked directly.

"Young Master, I am 19 years old this year and I am at the third level of Apprentice." Sasha said softly.

"Oh, come on. I'll buy you something."

Gao Sheng called to the waiter, "Give me a hundred boxes of this Regenerating Wood Spirit."

This is probably the cheapest item in this treasure shop. It's actually just plant spirits from Earth, but unlike the random, diverse plants on Earth, these are specially cultivated plants of the same type with healing effects. They come in boxes of 10, and 1000 of them only cost 1000 million Black Dragon Coins. Apprentice-level and ordinary people can use them to improve their strength, while planetary-level people can use them to heal injuries.

Gao Sheng put away the 99 boxes, took one box and gave it to Sasha, "Eating some should get you to the ninth level of the Apprentice level. Keep the rest, do you know what to do with them?"

"Yes, young master. Sasha understands." Sasha quickly hugged herself to her chest.

My God, this box contains 100,000 Black Dragon Coins! Back then, when the restaurant manager bought it, it only cost 100 Black Dragon Coins!

Seeing how she was clutching the box, the chubby boy covered his forehead and led her to another hall.

Above the counter, rows of projections show rings, wristbands, bracelets, belts, armbands, and other items in various shapes and sizes; they are all actually spatial storage items.

10米乘10米乘10米，这是最小空间，而最大的，也就50乘50乘30米。

5亿？10亿？20亿？25亿？50亿？80亿？……1000亿？2000亿？……

Sasha stared at the prices on the projector, completely stunned.

Gao Sheng shook his head inwardly. There was nothing he could do. Although these spatial artifacts used very few materials, the smaller they were, the more expensive the materials became. The key was that they could only be made by extremely powerful realm lords or even immortal gods. How could they not be expensive?

"Give me one of these rings," Gao Sheng said, pointing to the smallest ring available.

His words immediately drew the attention of a group of people nearby.

20 billion Black Dragon Coins! Although this is only the smallest possible size, the ring is extremely thin and light. Given the same amount of space, the smaller the size, the more expensive it will be.

Of course, if it's a higher-level one, it can be directly integrated into the body, and its appearance doesn't matter. But there's none of that here; those are all traded using Qianwu coins.

"Don't move!" Gao Sheng put the ring on Sasha's finger and then gently made a small cut on her finger. A drop of blood seeped into the ring, and it successfully recognized its owner.

"Sasa, you should be able to sense the space inside now. Put that box inside."

20 billion Black Dragon Coins! Sasha looked at the chubby boy as if she had seen a divine intervention.

Gao Sheng's spatial ring only had 30 billion Black Dragon Coins, although the space was much larger and the size was also much larger.

Anson was alright, but the other three were practically red-eyed. None of them had any spatial items; their weapons were carried on their backs!

But what does that have to do with Gao Sheng? They are the fat man's men, not Gao Sheng's.

Even the old fat man isn't a philanthropist. If they want to buy something, they'll have to work and earn the money themselves. These three are relatively new to the Ascendant Star level; if they want to buy spatial artifacts, it will be at least several hundred years…

The chubby boy, pulling Sasha along, arrived at the battle suit sales area.

"Give me... five of these 'Sara Armor' suits." Gao Sheng said to the waiter.

"Yes, sir." The waiter brought over five light green vests.

This is also a top-tier item, although it's not as good as Gao Sheng's own. It's much more valuable than the Black God Battle Armor, costing 1 million Black Dragon Coins. Gao Sheng's battle armor has a high ceiling, but the advantage of this Sharo Battle Armor is that it's light, thin, and versatile, making it more suitable as clothing than the Black God Battle Armor.

He took out something and handed it to Sasha: "Sasha, do you know how to use this?"

Sasha shook her head blankly, her expression completely numb.

"Oh, then I'll keep it for now. It's not suitable for you to wear it right now."

In fact, the chubby boy had already imagined the scene of her wearing this battle suit, and he almost drooled.

In the resource area, Luo Feng was looking at a projection screen with a grim expression.

Shape memory metals! There are many types. They are all priced by the gram and are expensive!

"So expensive!" Luo Feng became angrier the more he looked at it.

Luo Feng struggled internally. "Upgrading the Golden Horned Beast costs money, a lot of money! Upgrading myself also costs money, money! Money! Whether I have this Arc Blade Disc or not doesn't affect my strength at all, should I sell it? With money, I can quickly upgrade my body to the Eternal Star level and get the money my teacher gave me."

"Brother Luo Feng, what are you looking at? A metal with memory properties? This kind of metal is good; adding just a little bit to weapons can make them automatically recover from damage!"

It turned out to be Gao Sheng and his group.

"I was just looking, this is too expensive." Luo Feng forced a smile.

"I'm not going to look anymore, I don't have the money to buy anything. How about we go to the slave market instead?" Gao Sheng said with a smile.

"Wait a moment." Luo Feng gritted his teeth. "I'm going to buy something."

Although they had only known each other for half a day, the scene at the restaurant made Luo Feng feel that Brother Gao Sheng was a trustworthy person, so he didn't have any intention of avoiding him, especially since they might not meet again in the future.

"Selling things? What do you want to sell?" Gao Sheng was taken aback.

"Well, you know I have two telekinetic weapons, but I don't use one of them much. I want to exchange it for some money to buy something useful," Luo Feng said helplessly.

The chubby boy chuckled, "Oh, is that so? Which item do you want to sell? Why don't you just sell it to me? I guarantee it'll be cheaper than selling it to this shop."

Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out the curved blade disc.

"It's this curved blade disc," Luo Feng said.

"This is also a third-tier psychic weapon. Brother Luo Feng, you don't seem like someone who's short of money. Are you really going to sell it?" Gao Sheng looked at Luo Feng.

"Really." Luo Feng said helplessly, "Actually, I don't have any money."

"Alright then. At the general telekinetic weapon specialty store on Qiulong Star, this curved blade disc is priced at 210 billion Black Dragon Coins. I'll offer 200 billion for it, how about that?"

We can't just buy it at the original price; that doesn't align with Little Fatty's family motto.

"Okay. Thanks, Brother Gao Sheng." Luo Feng understood that Gao Sheng had given him at least a billion. "But I don't have a bank account right now."

"What? You don't have a bank card? Is this the first time your family has sent you into the world for training?" Gao Sheng asked in a strange tone.

Luo Feng smiled without saying a word.

Gao Sheng laughed and said, "I was too talkative. Come on, I'll take you to open an account."

In the heart of the city where land is incredibly valuable, a large lawn spanning five square kilometers has been set aside, with the cosmic galaxy-like Qiulongcheng branch resembling a sculpted work of art at its center.

The group of seven entered through the magnificent gate.

Inside was an incredibly spacious and pleasing hall.

The lobby resembled a luxurious self-service bar, with dozens of people already waiting on the sofas to conduct their business. These people exuded an extraordinary aura as they looked around! After all... the minimum account opening requirement here is 1 million Black Dragon Coins. Even the richest person on an ordinary planet wouldn't have that much wealth, and some even at the Eternal Star level don't have that kind of net worth.

Gao Sheng said to Ansen and Sasha, "You two wait here for a while. If you want anything to drink, go get it yourself."

"Normally, we open an account over there," Gao Sheng said to Luo Feng with practiced ease. "But I don't think you have 1 million Black Dragon Coins in cash with you. If you want to transfer money to open a new account, come with me."

Soon, the bank teller took a mental imprint of Luo Feng and processed his bank card.

"This bank card is truly peculiar; it's actually fused with a spiritual imprint. Only the original owner can use it; no one else can use it," Luo Feng exclaimed in admiration.

"Initially, it's like this. You can set your own password so that others can use it. Also, this physical card is just a symbol. Even if you destroy it now or throw it on the street, it might be inconvenient sometimes, but it won't have any other impact," Gao Sheng explained.

"Oh, I see." Luo Feng thought for a moment and realized that it was true. Otherwise, how would he have obtained his teacher's property? If any client risked their life and died, would their property be swallowed up by the bank?

"2000 million Qianwu coins." Luo Feng checked his card balance and was stunned.

"Haha, I don't have many Black Dragon Coins in this card, just some Dry Witch Coins, is that alright?" Gao Sheng laughed.

If you exchange Black Dragon Coins at this bank, the exchange rate is indeed 1 to 1000. Luo Feng didn't say anything more, but he was quite grateful.

As expected of someone from a prominent family, he has such a magnanimous air about him.

Luo Feng looked relaxed as he sensed the bank card in his spatial ring. As the saying goes, "With food in hand, one is not afraid." 2000 million, Qianwu coins!

You can buy two of those little castles outside the city!

Babata also said that in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, if you can pay with Black Dragon Coins, you can get a 30% discount if you pay with Qianwu Coins!

These 2000 million Qianwu coins are equivalent to more than 280 billion Heilong coins.

The chubby boy was secretly pleased, thinking, "Can this sugar-coated bullet knock you out?"
