Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Soon after, the two signed the contract, each paid a deposit, and the contract officially came into effect.

"Mr. Gao Sheng, your goods will arrive in about an hour, is that alright?" the person in charge said with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'll just go out for a stroll. I heard that there are cosmic-level slaves on this Qiulong Star?" Gao Sheng said with a smile.

"A cosmic-level slave?" Luo Feng was startled.

The person in charge smiled and said, "Cosmic-level slaves? If Mr. Gao Sheng wants to buy one, that's no problem either. Our boss can arrange it."

"I was just asking, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Gao Sheng laughed.

"Cosmic-level slaves are expensive! There's no way around it; capturing a cosmic-level powerhouse alive is difficult enough, let alone implanting a chip in them. A single cosmic-level slave costs trillions of Black Dragon Coins. More expensive than a life-bearing planet." The person in charge shook his head. "In my opinion, with that money, you'd be better off buying a bunch of Hengxing-level ninth-tier slaves. Maybe with a bit of luck, one of them will break through to the cosmic level. Then you can resell them and make a fortune!"

"Are you kidding me!" Gao Sheng glared. "A ninth-tier Hengxing level cultivator breaking through to the cosmic level? One in a hundred thousand?"

"I was just saying," the person in charge laughed.

Gao Sheng and Luo Feng, of course, wouldn't just wait there idly, so they went out and continued strolling around.

They had only been gone a short while.

"Young Master, look over there." Sasha said, holding Ina's hand with one hand and pointing in a direction with the other.

Gao Sheng and Luo Feng both looked in the direction Sasha was pointing. There were beautiful and alluring green-haired girls there, some alluring, some innocent, each one very beautiful.

Beside them were several handsome men with blue hair, each dressed in a dashing and heroic manner, numbering over two hundred, with about twenty at the planetary level.

"&*￥##@……" When the group of Mengbei slaves saw Sasha, someone babbled out a bunch of incomprehensible words.

"...&%*￥@&^……" Sasha's eyes reddened, and she cried out a string of words through her tears.

"Sasha, what's wrong?" Gao Sheng asked.

“We know each other,” Sasha said. “Young master, they are from the same hometown as me. They were captured by the lord in the same batch and sold to slave traders.”

"Captured by the lord?" Luo Feng frowned beside him. The planetary lord not only didn't protect his people, but actually betrayed them?

"Hmm," Sasha gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Our home planet is a beautiful planet! The lord is the strongest there, ruling the entire planet! He has two great demon kings under his command, both of whom are star-level powerhouses! Star-level, in our home planet, that's invincible. Among our ordinary people, only a few are planet-level, no match for the demon kings!"

"The two Demon Kings led their armies, capturing countless adult girls and boys, and then selling them directly to slave traders." Sasha wept. "Our people multiplied on the planet, only to be sold off. This is our fate. We cannot change it!"

"How could this be?" Luo Feng asked, frowning.

Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "Luo Feng, think about it. A planet with tens of billions of people can reproduce a new generation in a few decades. One or two people are worthless, but selling hundreds of millions of people is a huge fortune! However, this kind of thing is disgusting. Once a super strong person is born in a certain race, then the planetary lord is finished. So this slave industry is a highly profitable industry, but also a high-risk industry. It is generally only done to some weak races, and those who dare to do it are planetary lords with powerful backgrounds."

"Among the countless races of humanity, some of the weaker races are very weak even after reaching adulthood. It's incredibly difficult for them to even reach the planetary level. It's all too common for such races to be enslaved," Gao Sheng said. "Being enslaved is already considered good; at least they still have hope. Some, on the other hand, are even wiped out entirely."

These words chilled Luo Feng to the bone! A bone-chilling cold! So this is how nakedly naked the universe truly is.

"Brother Gao Sheng, I have other things to attend to, let's part ways here." Luo Feng, who had been somewhat smug, had completely sobered up.

"Alright! Brother Luo Feng, remember to contact me through the virtual universe network if anything comes up," Gao Sheng said enthusiastically.

"must."

Immediately, Luo Feng, along with his Silver Guards, left the slave market.

Watching Luo Feng leave, Gao Sheng naturally knew what he was thinking, but Gao Sheng felt nothing. He was telling the truth! The slave trade was a legal industry. The higher-ups of the human race had to keep the lower-ups fighting. A peaceful society couldn't produce strong people. The existence of the slave trade was also a form of competition. Even if you became a slave, you didn't have to complain. Even a weak race could produce strong people. At least there was still hope for a comeback, which was much better than being wiped out.

"Young Master!" Sasha mustered her courage, grabbed Gao Sheng's hand, her eyes full of pleading!

Gao Sheng pulled Sasha away, "Let's go."

Gao Sheng returned to the slave trader he had just placed the order with.

Two level 9 Eternal Stars, two level 7 Eternal Stars, and 40 level 1 Eternal Stars slaves are all in place.

A green-haired man was also waiting with several of his men.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Sheng, let me introduce myself. My name is Wu La, and I'm the supervisor here," the green-haired man said with a smile.

"Mr. Wula, it's a pleasure to meet you. If there's nothing else, let's begin the change of ownership." Gao Sheng directly instructed Xiao Ai to transfer the remaining balance.

The green-clad man directed his subordinates to operate one device aimed at the slaves, and another device aimed at Gao Sheng, seemingly gathering information about him.

The eyes of all the slaves first became somewhat vacant, and then one by one they lit up.

The change of ownership was completed a few minutes later.

"Owner!"

Dozens of slaves, both male and female, bowed slightly in unison, uttering extremely respectful sounds.

The green-haired middle-aged man handed over a small box with a broad smile. "Everything is set up. Inside are the microchips for the control terminals of 44 slaves. One control terminal chip corresponds to one slave! Insert the microchip into the auxiliary optical computer to operate it, change commands, and so on."

"The operating instructions are included in the detailed information storage card provided here," the green-haired middle-aged man explained.

Gao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Wait, Mr. Wula, if we want to change the owner or remove the chip, is that possible?"

Wu La was taken aback: "That won't work. The light brain can only change commands. To change the master, you need a special device like this one. Moreover, once this biochip is implanted, it will fuse with the brain and cannot be removed. Forcibly removing it will only lead to death."

"Then, can you sell me this instrument, and also tell me how to operate it?"

"Oh? If you need it, I'll give it to you." Wu La directly ordered his men to pack up the device along with a bunch of chips. He guessed that Gao Sheng was preparing to resell some of the slaves. The device wasn't expensive, only tens of thousands of Black Dragon Coins. The biochips and control chips were even cheaper, 10 Black Dragon Coins a pair. They were available in many places in Qiulong City. Ordinary people didn't know about them, but with Gao Sheng's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to buy them.

"Mr. Wula, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Goodbye," Wula said with a smile.
