Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

"Not bad, Zhou Yuan, you actually secretly bought an E2-class spaceship! How did you manage to buy it?" Mu Feng looked at the 500-meter-long silver-white spaceship in front of him, his eyes filled with envy.

E2-class spaceships are considered high-end among world lord-level adventurers, with speed and defense far exceeding ordinary D-class spaceships. Many world lords use D-class spaceships.

"You little rascal, you actually had such a treasure hidden away! I never noticed before!" Sorin teased, circling the spaceship and carefully examining the brand-new vessel.

"I bought it at the Zichen Auction last time. There was a batch of E2-class spaceships up for auction at the time, and I bought one," Zhou Yuan explained with a smile. He opened the spaceship's hatch and invited everyone inside.

"I also attended that auction last time, but unfortunately I didn't manage to snag one of these spaceships. I didn't expect you to actually get one." Yun Yan suddenly realized that he had also wanted to bid on the spaceship, but ultimately gave up because the price was too high.

"Let's go inside and talk. We have plenty of time on the way," Zhou Yuan said with a smile, inviting everyone to enter the spaceship.

Entering the core lounge of the spaceship, he took out drinks and food stored for decades from his world ring and distributed them to everyone.

The spaceship's navigation was then controlled by the intelligent assistant, Beibei, who had already set the route back to base and would fly at the fastest speed.

"Sigh, we flew directly from the base to Continent Six when we came here, which took less than a day. But it will take us two whole years to get back. It's such a torment," Mu Feng complained, taking a sip of his drink.

What he found most unpleasant was this kind of long voyage, which he found tedious and boring.

"You know perfectly well that the base has a dedicated shipping lane opened up by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, which can directly accelerate to the speed of light to enter the dark universe. However, there is no such shipping lane around Continent Six, so the spaceships cannot reach the speed of light and are naturally much slower," Gao Tao explained with a smile.

He knew that Mu Feng was just complaining casually and wasn't really angry.

"This is already quite good. It's all thanks to Zhou Yuan's E2-class spaceship, which is much faster than a regular D9-class spaceship. If it were a D9-class spaceship, it would take at least several more months to get back to base," Sorin said with a smile. She leaned back on the sofa, leisurely drinking her juice and enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

Time passed slowly during the long voyage. Two years and one month later, the spaceship finally arrived at the base airport opened by the Space Mercenary Alliance on Continent Six.

The moment the spaceship landed smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally ending this long journey.

Without lingering, Zhou Yuan and his six companions packed up their spaceship and flew directly towards the Space Mercenary Alliance's outpost. They carried a large amount of resources and were eager to sell them off quickly and secure their gains.

After all, in the universe, resources can only truly realize their value when they are converted into currency.

Upon arriving at the outpost, the group first submitted the treasures they possessed that met the mission requirements of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. This was because mission rewards were generally more profitable than selling the items directly, yielding a larger number of Chaos Units.

After submitting the task, Gao Tao submitted a transaction application in the virtual universe, uploading all the resources that he wanted to sell directly to the system.

Not long after, staff from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance came to collect the items.

Captain Gao Tao then handed the world ring containing the resources to the staff of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, allowing them to check the resources themselves.

They scanned and verified all the resources with instruments, and after confirming that everything was correct, they transferred the corresponding funds into Gao Tao's virtual account.

"Captain, what is the total amount we received this time?" Mu Feng asked impatiently, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The others also looked at Captain Gao Tao. After all, one of the purposes of coming to Continent Six was to earn a high income, so they were all very concerned about the profits this time.

"There are too many people around here, it's not convenient to talk. Let's find a private place, a private room at Fengyi Restaurant, to discuss this in detail," Captain Gao Tao said in a low voice.

"Okay, we'll do as the captain says!" The five of them immediately agreed to Gao Tao's suggestion. They also knew the principle of not flaunting wealth to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the six arrived at Fengyi Restaurant and found a quiet private room. After ordering, they ate, drank, and chatted, waiting for the time to split the bill after they had finished their meal.

When the last dish was served and everyone had almost finished eating, team leader Gao Tao closed the door to the private room, turned on the projection of the virtual universe, and began to announce the profit-sharing results.

"According to the contribution calculation system of the virtual universe, the total revenue of our operation is as follows:" Captain Gao Tao cleared his throat, and a detailed profit and loss statement appeared on the projection screen.

"Based on virtual universe contribution calculations: The first battle in Giant Bear Valley yielded 92 Mixed Yuan Units. My contribution was 30%, Kahn's was 20%, Zhou Yuan and Sorin's were 14%, Mu Feng's was 12%, and Yun Yan's was 10%."

The second battle yielded 102 mixed-element units, with contributions as follows:

The third battle yielded 109 mixed-element units, with contributions as follows:

In the fourth battle, we lost. We lost an E3-class spaceship, which cost me 9 Chaos Units at the price I bought it for. Also, Yun Yan needs to pay Mu Feng for the Life Fruit.

Gao Tao paused when talking about the fourth battle, then continued, "In the fifth battle, we gained 82 Mixed Yuan Units, with contributions of..."

The outcome of the final battle was...

In addition, our mining profits, calculated separately in the virtual universe, totaled 7126 Mixed Yuan Units. I received 20%, Kahn 18%, Mu Feng and Solin 16%, and Zhou Yuan and Yun Yan 15%.

Captain Gao Tao paused for a moment, then continued, "The total harvest is 8576 Mixed Yuan Units, of which I received 1841 Mixed Yuan Units, Kahn received 1557 Mixed Yuan Units, Mu Feng received 1312 Mixed Yuan Units, Solin received 1343 Mixed Yuan Units, Zhou Yuan received 1282 Mixed Yuan Units, and Yun Yan received 1241 Mixed Yuan Units."

Finally, two points to add: Yunyan needs to compensate Mufeng for the lost Life Fruits by giving him three Mixed Yuan units.

Kahn will compensate me with ten Mixed Yuan Units as compensation for the spaceship lost while saving you.

Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If you have any objections, please raise them, and we can discuss them further.

"The contribution calculation system of the virtual universe is the fairest, we have no objection, let's just divide it like this!" Mu Feng spoke first.

He was very satisfied with the distribution result, after all, although he was not very willing to mine this time, the final profit was very generous.

The others nodded in agreement, all believing that the calculations in the virtual universe were fair and impartial. The compensation the captain mentioned at the end was also what had been agreed upon beforehand.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Gao Tao directly transferred the corresponding Mixed Yuan Units to each person's virtual account.

The moment the account notified that the transfer had been received, everyone's face lit up with a bright smile.

Over sixty years of hard work have not been in vain. Even Yun Yan, the least wealthy among them, has gained over a thousand Chaos Units. As expected, opening up the secret realm earns more than usual. Keep in mind that the average asset of a Realm Lord is only a few Chaos Units. These individuals have now far surpassed ordinary Realm Lords.

Now, they could finally rest and recuperate for a while, preparing for their next adventure. The atmosphere in the private room was lively; everyone drank and chatted about their future plans, filling the room with laughter.
