Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

As the armies of the realm within a realm gathered more and more, the war became increasingly fierce!

Soon after, news spread that there was a cosmic-level mentalist in the Realm Within a Realm whose mental weapons were adept at burrowing underground and stealing the spatial artifacts of the captains of various factions!

This caused all the troops to keep their detectors running.

However, in the battles of star-level armies, the battlefield can easily span hundreds of kilometers and change in an instant. Even if those detectors with limited detection range are turned on, they cannot completely cover the battlefield. Even if someone enters from outside the area, who knows which side's soldier it is?

So, although the captains were safe, squad leaders still occasionally fell victim to the virus.

Gao Sheng smiled when he heard the news. This Luo Feng is truly insane!

Soon after, news came that the three armies of ten thousand men each from the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land were besieged by sixty thousand men from Three Axe Mountain when they approached the castle. They suffered heavy casualties, with less than ten thousand men remaining, and most of the Thunderstones were stolen.

This made the war even more insane!

However, none of this has anything to do with promotion.

He would wander around the garrison every day, and over time, he and Nan Si got along better and better. Whenever he had free time, he would go to Baihulou to talk to Nan Si.

That day, Gao Sheng went to the Baihulou headquarters again.

"Your name is Gao Sheng Wei Di?" The senior disciple of Baihu Tower had long since been replaced. Tie Qiong and Qiu Yu had both been killed by laser guns, and now it was a burly, ape-like man. "You mean, you want Nan Si to join your Wei Di family?"

"That's right," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

"First of all, South Silk must be willing."

Nan Si stood to the side, holding Gao Sheng's arm, her eyes looking at Gao Sheng as if she were pulling at him, but she didn't seem to want to.

The ape-man chuckled: "I can't make that decision myself; I have to report it. Young Master Gao, the cost of training elites at Hundred Tigers Tower is not low."

"I understand. Just report it." Gao Sheng smiled.

In the virtual universe, Gao Sheng spoke with one of the domain lords of the Ever-Star Training Camp, who was in charge of the Hundred Tigers Tower.

"1000 billion Qianwu coins, leave all spatial artifacts behind, and Nan Si will no longer be a member of Baihu Tower. Information about the allied forces will be updated immediately." On the screen, a domain lord with scales on his face said with a smile. He was the same person Gao Sheng had met before entering the Thunder World.

That's a really steep price!

That makes sense, though. This is clearly not a transfer. It's just that this spoiled brat from the Wei Di family has taken a liking to Nan Si. If we don't take advantage of him, who will we take advantage of?

Transfers are a common occurrence among major powers.

Nansi has made such a great contribution, so it's impossible for us to hold her back, especially now that she's gone, the credit doesn't need to be given to her anymore.

"No problem," Gao Sheng smiled.

The details were quickly settled, and once the contract was signed, the contracts between Nansi and Baihulou were voided.

At the Allied Forces' base, Gao Sheng took Nan Si's hand and left.

"1000 billion Qianwu coins?" The ape-man was stunned.

The probability of a mid-ranking second-tier elite from the South Silk Road becoming a cosmic-level player is very low. This transfer fee is too high, it's many times higher!

But who can blame him when the young master Gao Sheng is willing?

The ape-man shook his head and smiled. Nan Si was lucky to have hooked up with a scion of a powerful family. In the future, he was afraid he wouldn't be as good as her.

-----------------

More than a month later, Luo Feng's group of six finally returned to the Allied Forces' base.

The residence of the Weidi family.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Gao Sheng said leisurely as he sat with Nansmia in the military tent.

"Not bad," Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all said with smiles.

Then, all three of them turned their surprised gazes toward Nan Si.

"The three of you, we meet again." Nan Si smiled sweetly.

"Oh. This is Nansi, now a member of my Weidi family."

Is that even possible? People from the Wei Di family? They're your people, aren't they? Luo Feng was utterly impressed.

"Since you've made a profit, hurry up and redeem it. You should do it as soon as possible," Gao Sheng said, changing the subject.

After Luo Feng left, Gao Sheng said to Lei Shen with a mysterious look, "Brother Lei, I have something to give you."

"Oh?"

Gao Sheng took out a storage chip: "How about the Thunder Path Secret Technique?"

Thor and Hong were both shocked. "What?"

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Thor shook his head repeatedly.

Gao Sheng smiled. "Don't you all think that 40 Thunderstones is too expensive?"

Hong and Thor were both taken aback. Could it be?

"This isn't some kind of treasure, just a secret technique. I've already read it and passed it on to my family. Giving it to you doesn't mean I'm losing anything. Of course, I can give this secret technique to whomever I want." Gao Sheng patted Thor on the shoulder.

Thor understood, and solemnly accepted the gift. "Promotion, thank you."

Gao Sheng smacked him with a hammer, saying, "We're brothers, why are you thanking me?"

There were no outsiders here, so Thor immediately used his AI to read the information, and then... his eyes widened like saucers.

-----------------

A few days later, the Wei Di family's army entered the safe zone for the third time, and this time, they would not leave.

Ten thousand troops came in, and now only five thousand remain!

This time, the harvest wasn't much, only a little over 30 Thunderstones, but there were still two treasures! Two laser guns were also seized.

Although most factions leave the exchanged treasures in the safe zone, there are still a few large army captains or even squad leaders who carry the treasures with them, either because they don't have anyone they completely trust in the safe zone due to factional reasons, or because they are confident.

At the encampment of the Wei Di family's army, a huge military tent was erected, and all the soldiers lined up to enter.

At the garrison, the soldiers were all talking excitedly.

At this moment, all around Gao Sheng, the family soldiers were talking and discussing, and everyone had an excited expression.

"Fourth Brother, how much did you get this time?"

"I didn't find many. I only dug up a little over nine hundred Thunderstones and received over four thousand cubic meters of Cosmic Crystals."

"Haha, not bad. I'm not even as good as you, less than four thousand."

"It's a pity that Brother Wu is dead."

"How can war not result in death? It was worth it for him. His family will receive the full reward, plus additional compensation."

"I heard this is just a reward for excavation; once we get out, there will be combat merit rewards, and the garrison will also receive compensation..."

Gao Sheng listened to the soldiers' discussions and smiled. Because he had a lot of cosmic crystals, he distributed the first reward right around the castle. One Thunderstone was worth five cubic meters. The Wei Emperor's army had mined a total of 800 million Thunderstones, so the reward would be more than 4000 million cubic meters of cosmic crystals. In theory, Gao Sheng should not have enough, but in reality, because nearly half of them died in battle, only more than 2200 million cubic meters were distributed here. Gao Sheng had mined more than 1800 million cubic meters before, and later sold Thunderstones and got 1550 million cubic meters. He still had nearly 1200 million cubic meters of cosmic crystals left.

Of course, these clan leaders and elders were to provide him with subsidies, not by paying him money.

Speaking of the cosmic crystals in this realm within a realm, I'm afraid two or three tenths of them are in Gao Sheng's hands. Unlike some forces that acquire Thunderstone, they don't have enough cosmic crystals to pay for their purchases and can only use bank transfers.

……

Gao Sheng was joking with Ansen, "How's the harvest?"

"Thanks to the young master, we've collected over 400 of them," Anson said with a smile.

Anson didn't participate in the first excavation, and being a martial artist, it's normal that he's not as efficient as a mentalist.

However, he participated in all the battles that followed.

However, Gao Sheng wasn't too worried about his safety. Ansen had a Tier 2 Force suit, and he was doing relatively well among the stars.

Ansen was filled with excitement. More than 2000 cubic cosmic crystals! That's nearly 70 billion Qianwu coins. No wonder the young master said that once they got out, they would definitely be able to afford Bishui Star.
