Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Ten thousand?

Did I hear that right?

Not a thousand, not a hundred, it's a real ten thousand!

"Purpose?" the slave trader asked tentatively.

"Labor, basic defense, and logistical support."

"Applicants must be young, healthy, and free from serious illnesses; race is not a factor, but human beings are the priority."

The slave trader quickly operated on the screen and reported a number after a moment: "Apprentice-level ninth-tier slaves, the average price is about 500,000 Black Tank Coins, 10,000 would be 50 billion."

"If it's a bulk purchase, I can offer 45 billion."

"Deal." Yan Ning said without hesitation.

Four and a half billion to buy ten thousand slaves.

These people will be sent to Azure to become sparring partners for martial artists, labor force for planetary construction, basic units of the defense system, and the first "extraterrestrial population" for Azure to venture into the universe!

Is it cruel?

cruel.

But this is the rule of the universe.

Rather than letting them be treated more cruelly elsewhere, let them work for Azure.

Yan Ning is not a saint.

But he could at least guarantee that these slaves would not be arbitrarily tortured and killed on the Azure territory.

"We need another batch of skilled slaves."

"Engineers, mechanics, medics, agricultural experts... below the constellation level, above the planetary level, must be technically skilled and capable... Let's start with a hundred."

"Technical slaves are more expensive. Planetary-level technical experts cost around 200 million on average. One hundred of them... let's say 20 billion."

"OK."

Yan Ning spent 165 billion in one go to buy five peak ninth-level Hengxing-level guards, ten thousand apprentice-level laborers, and one hundred planetary-level technical experts.

When I left the slave market, my spatial ring contained dozens of control keys and a thick stack of slave contracts.

behind,

The slave traders bowed and scraped as they handed the slaves over, their smiles even brighter than when they arrived.

In Yan Ning's mind, there was only one thought: Azure must not become the way it was when they came!

Never!

......

On the third day, resources were procured.

Yan Ning first went to the largest natural treasure trading center on Black Tank Star.

Moka Li had already reserved the VIP room at the trading center.

"Mr. Yan, what type of resources do you need?" The receptionist's voice was gentle and extremely professional.

Yan Ning took out a list from his spatial ring.

"The first category consists of natural and organic treasures that improve genetic potential. They must be suitable for human constitution, have a mild effect, and be suitable for long-term use."

Ideally, it should be an upgraded version of Purple Cloud Dew, or another spiritual item with equivalent effects.

A series of options popped up on the screen in the VIP room.

【Life Spring Essence】:

A cosmic-level spiritual object; long-term consumption can elevate the genes of ordinary humans to the third-tier potential of the planetary level.

Price: 1 million Black Tank Credits per unit

(Each serving is enough for one person for one year)

......

【Star Essence】:

A level-one spiritual item that greatly improves genes, with significant effects on martial artists at the planetary level and above.

Price: 5 million Black Tank Credits per unit

(Each serving is enough for one person for three months)

......

【Purple Cloud Dew (Concentrated Version)】:

The Ziyun Water Dew is 100 times more concentrated, making it more effective and suitable for bulk use.

Price: 1000 million Hettan coins/liter

......

Yan Ning quickly did the calculations.

Seven women, a dozen children, plus himself, Honghuang, Qin Mufeng and other core combat forces, as well as the elite martial arts group of Weilan.

"Essence of Life, twenty portions."

"Star Essence, ten portions; Purple Cloud Dew Concentrated Version, one thousand liters to start."

The receptionist's smile faltered slightly.

Twenty portions of the Essence of Life equal two billion.

Ten portions of Star Essence, worth fifty billion.

One thousand liters of concentrated Purple Cloud Dew, ten billion.

The cost of "improving genes" alone was 17 billion!

This... why does it sound like a fox playing tricks?

"The second category is cultivation resources."

"Energy crystals, body-tempering pills, and mental power enhancement potions suitable for use from planetary to eternal levels. The quantity should be large enough to simply support the martial arts system of a planet."

"That's enough, it's just to lay a foundation."

"May I ask what the approximate budget is?"

"Within 50 billion."

The receptionist's fingers flew across the screen, and after a moment, a long list appeared:

[Jadeite (Level 2)]:

For planetary-level cultivation, each dose can help a planetary-level martial artist advance one rank.

Price: 10 billion Hettan coins per unit.

Inventory: 8 units.

【Muya Crystal (High Purity)】:

Pure energy crystals, usable at both planetary and constant levels.

Price: 1 million Blacktank coins per unit.

Inventory: 50 units.

[Body Tempering Fruit (Eternal Star Level)]:

Used to strengthen the physical body and break through bottlenecks.

Price: 2 million Blacktan coins per coin.

Inventory: 20 pieces.

[Mental Strength Enhancement Potion (Planet Level)]:

Temporarily enhances mental strength, serving as a cultivation aid.

Price: 5000 Blacktank Credits/unit.

Inventory: 100 units.

......

"I don't want that."

"I'll take them all."

Eight portions of jasper, worth eight billion.

Fifty wooden crystals, five billion.

Twenty Body Tempering Fruits, worth four billion.

One hundred doses of mental power enhancement potions, worth five billion.

Adding to the previous 17 billion, it has reached 39 billion.

The receptionist thought it was over, but to her surprise, the human in front of her produced an even thicker stack of lists.

"The third category: mass modification of Azure Warriors."

"There are currently about 300 War God-level martial artists, about 5,000 War General-level martial artists, and tens of thousands of Apprentice-level martial artists on Azure Star. I need a batch of resources that can systematically improve the martial arts foundation of the entire planet."

A hint of surprise flashed in the receptionist's eyes.

This is not personal cultivation, this is... building a civilization!

"Mr. Yan, I suggest you purchase the following types of resources in bulk." She quickly pulled up a set of data.

[Gene Optimization Fluid (Apprentice Level)]

It can upgrade the genes of ordinary people to the fifth level of the apprentice level or above, making it suitable for large-scale use.

Price: 10 Blacktank Credits/unit.

Recommended purchase quantity: 10 units.

Total price: 100 million.

......

[Energy Crystal (Low Purity)]:

It is suitable for martial artists below the planetary level for training, and is inexpensive with stable effects.

Price: 1 Blacktank coins/block.

Recommended purchase quantity: 100 million units.

Total price: 100 million.

......

[Basic Martial Arts Inheritance Chip]:

It contains a complete martial arts system from apprentice level to planetary level, suitable for laying the foundation for a planetary civilization.

Price: 5000 million Blacktank Credits/set.

Recommended purchase quantity: 10 sets.

Total price: 5 million.

......

Yan Ning looked at these numbers and quickly calculated in his mind.

30.5 billion.

Adding to the previous 39 billion, it has reached 69.5 billion.

"Add ten more sets of basic martial arts inheritance chips."

"We need a more complete planetary-level martial arts system, and the budget has been increased to 80 billion."

"As you wish." The receptionist nodded respectfully.

Ultimately, the total bill for resource procurement settled at 81 billion Black Tank Credits!

Genetically modified products: 17 billion.

High-level cultivation resources: 22 billion.

Massive martial artist modification: 42 billion.

Yan Ning settled the account in one lump sum and stored all the resources in his spatial ring.

Those gene optimization fluids, energy crystals, and inheritance chips will completely change the Azure Martial Arts ecosystem.

Starting today.

Azure is no longer a martial arts wasteland, but a rising civilization with a systematic training system!

And Yan Ning's descendants have officially begun to embrace the Cosmic Martial Arts System!
