Swallowing the Stars: The System Bound the Wrong Person at the Start

Upon hearing the words "intelligent system service," a knowing look flashed in the old manager's eyes.

He knew better than anyone that in the Cosmic Galaxy Bank system, although intelligent services were extremely expensive, they were superior in terms of absolute security, speed, and privacy, and only large clients of three stars or above were eligible to apply.

"Dear VIP three-star guest, you certainly have the authority to apply!" The old manager's tone was extremely respectful, even with a hint of flattery. "The intelligent service will guarantee your privacy to the greatest extent. The private room will be completely isolated from all intrusion, and outsiders will absolutely not be able to know anything that happens inside. Please follow me."

After saying this, the old manager personally led the way, inviting Huang into a private room located at the deepest part of the VIP area, with extremely luxurious decorations. As the heavy alloy door slowly closed behind them, all the noise from the outside world was completely shut out.

"Dear Samsung user, Smart Services are now enabled."

A mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out in the private room.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly beautiful female smart projection stood in front of Huang.

"Dear Samsung customer, hello, I am AI number 132768, at your service." The female AI bowed slightly and greeted Huang respectfully.

"Hello." Huang smiled slightly, calmly sat down on the large leather sofa, his deep gaze fixed on the female AI in front of him, and said in a flat tone: "Before purchasing the items, I have another treasure that I would like to sell to your bank, a peculiar crystal engraved with eight lower laws and two higher laws."

"This crystal is engraved with the first nine simplest essences of the Ten Laws, and it is engraved in an extremely simple and detailed way, just like teaching you how to solve a math problem step by step. Unfortunately, all the essences of the laws only have the first nine, and it is not complete."

The female AI maintained her smile, clasped her hands at her lower abdomen, bowed again, and said, "Honorable guest, please place the items you wish to sell on the table in front of you. The bank's scanning system will appraise the items. You can entrust our Cosmic Galaxy Bank to auction or consign them, or you can sell them directly to our Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

Huang didn't speak, but with a thought, he took out a fist-sized spherical crystal from his spatial ring with his left hand. The crystal seemed to be engraved with lines of various colors, ten different colors of lines. Each color was composed of countless lines forming nine spheres, exuding a profound sense of laws.

Huang placed the crystal sphere quietly on the table in front of him, and a hazy light screen quickly scanned the crystal sphere on the table.

A series of complex data streams flashed rapidly in the female AI's eyes. She respectfully bowed to Huang again and said, "Dear three-star customer, this treasure does indeed, as you said, record the essence of the first nine of the Ten Great Laws, and it is recorded in a very simple and easy-to-understand way. May I ask whether you would like my Cosmic Galaxy Bank to auction it or consign it? If you sell it directly to my Cosmic Galaxy Bank, we can offer 1300 million Chaos Units."

Huang paused for a moment, not expecting this thing to be so expensive. But after thinking about it for a while, he understood. This thing completely teaches you how to analyze the essence of the laws step by step. Anyone with a little talent can achieve something. It is far more difficult than Luo Feng in the original work, who simply relied on a sword technique to comprehend the laws.

More importantly, this treasure can be used repeatedly. Once one person comprehends it, it can be passed on to another, making it a treasured heirloom for the long-term prosperity of a family.

This is one of the main reasons why this crystal is so expensive. If it were a consumable treasure, even though it contains nine of the ten elements of law, each with a profound and mysterious essence, it would only cost a few hundred thousand Chaos Yuan at most.

This thing was created by He Xi using the "Heavenly Book" to analyze and dissect the essence of the laws, and then used the "God" to create a carrier to record it. It only cost 10,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 universe coins, so it is not worth much at all.

Once he or He Xi have fully comprehended the essence of the laws, they can easily inscribe them, including 72 complete lower-level law essences and 108 complete higher-level law essences.

Huang calmed himself down, regained his composure, and casually said to the female AI, "Just sell it directly to your Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

The female AI bowed even more respectfully: "Dear customer, thank you for your trust in our bank. 1300 million Mixed Yuan Units have been transferred to your bank account. Your account balance exceeds 1000 million Mixed Yuan Units, and your account level has been automatically upgraded to five-star."

Huang waved his hand dismissively and said, "I need to purchase some plant-based life seeds, life fruits, and Lan Ke fruits, a small amount of Locke Divine Water, and a large quantity of resources for cultivation below the Domain Lord level. The important thing is not the quantity, but the variety. I also want to purchase a cosmic-level bloodline evolution potion. I wonder if my permissions are sufficient?"

"Checking for you. You are a valued five-star customer and qualify for purchase. The instruction has been confirmed. We are searching for tradable resources within your five-star privileges. You may choose freely..."

As the female AI finished speaking, a huge holographic screen was projected in front of Huang.

Countless item information flooded the screen like a waterfall, with the names and functions of all kinds of goods clearly displayed on the screen, along with their prices:

Seeds of the creeping vine

Price: 3000 Cosmic Coins/1 unit

[Note]: Each unit contains 10000 seeds, with an extremely low germination rate, only 0.05% under normal conditions. Even with the assistance of treasures, the highest germination probability is difficult to exceed 10%. Therefore, the price of the seeds themselves is far lower than that of successfully cultivated seedlings. Seedlings germinate 3-16 vines, with the optimal seedling having 16 buds. When perfectly cultivated to the Realm Lord level, the Moyun Vine can reach a maximum of 360 vines, and upon breaking through to Immortality, it can rival the initial stage of the King-level Immortality.

【Fire Star Vine Seeds】

Price: 1 Mixed Yuan Units/1 piece

[Note]: There are no public distribution channels; access is exclusively for five-star clients. Germination rate is extremely low, only 0.001% under normal conditions. Even with the aid of magical artifacts, the highest germination rate is unlikely to exceed 1%. Therefore, the price of the seed itself is far lower than that of successfully cultivated seedlings. Seedlings germinate 9-36 vines, with the optimal seedling having 36 buds. A perfectly cultivated Flame Star Vine can reach a maximum of 1081 vines at the Realm Lord level, and upon breaking through to Immortality, it can rival a high-level King-rank Immortal.

Star-eating grass seeds

Price: 2.7 Mixed Yuan Units/1 capsule

[Note]: There are no public distribution channels; access is exclusively available to five-star clients. The normal germination rate is only 0.05%, and with the aid of treasures, the germination rate can reach a maximum of 0.1%. When perfectly cultivated to the World Lord level, it can grow 1000 main vines, which is the legendary "Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass." When it unleashes its full power, its size can exceed that of an ordinary star. It is a recognized weapon for mass destruction in group battles, and when cultivated to the Immortal level, it can rival the limit of the King-level.

【Lingsi Grass】

[Price]: 1 billion Cosmic Coins/10 Coin

........................

【Lanko Fruit】

[Price]: 1 billion Cosmic Coins/10 Coin

[Note]: This is a dedicated resource for cultivating plant life. Its energy is gentle and has no backlash. Long-term feeding can allow plant life forms like the Moyun Vine to steadily advance.

Bulk purchases are supported with no purchase limit.

The Fruit of Life

It originates from the ancient tree of life in the core star region of the universe, with only 300 fruits produced every hundred years. Consuming it can instantly heal all injuries of a World Lord-level expert and allow the plant life to directly leapfrog a major realm, jumping directly from the Eternal Star level to the Cosmic level, without any risk of genetic collapse. This is a limited-purchase resource for five-star clients, with a limit of 10 per account per year.

[Note]: SS-grade bloodline evolution agent. After injection, it can optimize the user's bloodline to the level of the universe upon adulthood. It is a resource under the internal control of the Virtual Universe Company and is strictly prohibited from being resold to external parties. Five-star customers are limited to purchasing 8 vials per account. After purchase, it will be automatically entered into the bank's confidential file, and no third-party information will be retained throughout the process.

…………

With a quick glance, Huang memorized the dense array of products in his mind, his thoughts racing as he processed the information he received. At the same time, he also relayed the information he had recorded to He Xi.

In about twenty minutes, Huang memorized all the information on more than 300,000 products.

"He Xi, select the items and place the order. Just keep some Hunyuan Units for emergencies." Huang directly communicated with He Xi through his consciousness, asking her to make a purchase list. The quantity of each item was not large, but he bought some of almost every type of item. Only some purely energy-related items, such as high-energy crystals for spaceship energy, were purchased in considerable quantities.

When the innate talent "God" uses Divine Source to materialize treasures, the most important thing to look at is the total energy of the treasure. Divine Source can convert energy such as life force and law power without loss. Using Divine Source to transform such treasures is much more cost-effective than buying them directly, especially the law crystals that Huang just put out to sell.

Aside from the fact that the crystal stone is more solid because it needs to consume divine source to manifest due to bearing the law markings, the law markings inside are directly engraved on by the "Heavenly Book" after it has analyzed the laws. As long as it is a law that He Xi and Huang have comprehended, the "Heavenly Book" can engrave it with only a trace of divine source. The upper limit of the engraved law depends on the upper limit of the laws that Huang and He Xi have comprehended.

After sending the purchase list to the female AI, the AI ​​bowed slightly, and a data stream flashed by: "Settlement completed. A total of 1187.3 million Mixed Yuan Units have been deducted. Your account balance is 112.7 million Mixed Yuan Units."

Huang continued, "I wish to purchase the entire Milky Way galaxy of the Silver Blue Empire as territory for my family's development. Would it be possible to entrust your firm to make the purchase on my behalf?"

The data stream in the female AI's eyes flashed: "Dear five-star customer, your permissions are sufficient, and our bank can accept this commission."

"Dear five-star client, your commission to purchase the Milky Way galaxy has been confirmed." The female AI's voice remained steady, but its pace was noticeably faster than before, clearly indicating that it was utilizing massive computing power for inter-galactic information exchange. "Connecting you to the highest administrative database of the Silver Blue Empire... Assessing the total asset value of the target galaxy... Contacting the Silver Blue Empire's royal family..."

Just three seconds later, the product list on the holographic screen disappeared, and a vast and dazzling virtual star map slowly unfolded in the private room. It was a magnificent vortex composed of countless stars, nebulae, and dark matter belts, the Milky Way galaxy under the jurisdiction of the Silver Blue Empire.

"Assessment complete." The female AI bowed slightly, her tone carrying an unusually solemn tone. "The Milky Way contains over 200 billion planets, of which approximately 210,000 are suitable for large-scale intelligent life, along with hundreds of millions of mineral-rich and dead stars. Based on the historical transaction agreement between the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the Silver Blue Empire, and considering the current resource depletion and strategic value of the star system, the overall valuation of this galaxy is approximately 1 Mixed Yuan Unit. Our bank will charge a 10% commission, which is 0.1 Mixed Yuan Units."

She paused, then continued her report: "Our bank has appointed its highest-ranking representative from the Silverblue Empire branch, who is currently in urgent consultations with the Emperor of the Silverblue Empire. Considering your status as a five-star client and the substantial transaction amount, our bank can provide you with a expedited process for galactic property transfers, which is expected to complete the signing of all documents and the transfer of ownership within ten minutes."

"From this point on," the female AI added, "the Milky Way will become your private domain."

Huang leaned back on the sofa, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, a faint smile playing on his lips.

One 1.1 Mixed Yuan Units can buy a vast star system with over 200 billion planets and 210,000 habitable planets.

To ordinary people, this would undoubtedly be an astronomical figure, but compared to the law crystal he had just sold, it was not even a drop in the ocean.

Seven minutes later.

"bite--"

A crisp notification sound rang out in the private room.

"Dear five-star customer, congratulations." The female AI's voice carried a perfectly timed congratulation. "The ownership of the Milky Way has been officially transferred to your name. From this moment on, you are the rightful lord of the Milky Way. The Silver Blue Empire, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom have all updated their star domain ownership files. No force may infringe upon them."

"Purchase costs and commission fees have been deducted."

Huang nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the virtual star map, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

The Milky Way, we've got it.

More than 200 billion planets, and about 210,000 habitable planets—this vast galaxy now belongs to him. This is not merely a territory, but the foundation for his future plans and the soil for spreading his faith.

Moreover, Earth is among them.

"How long will it take for the supplies on the list to arrive?" he asked.

"We will prepare all the rare resources you need, including plant-based life-supporting seeds, life fruits, and Lanco fruits, as well as all the other supplies you require, as soon as possible. They will be escorted by our exclusive escort fleet and are expected to arrive at the Qian Yuan Star docking port within three days. You will then be able to collect the goods yourself." The female AI answered flawlessly.

Huang stood up and straightened his robes.

"very good."

He turned and walked towards the door of the private room. Behind him, the female AI bowed deeply until his figure completely disappeared outside the door.

The heavy alloy door slowly closed, isolating it from all the noise and bustle.

Outside, the old manager was still waiting respectfully at the end of the corridor. Seeing Huang emerge, he immediately stepped forward, his face plastered with an even more obsequious smile: "Honorable guest, is everything alright?"

Huang didn't answer, but casually tossed out a spatial ring. The ring drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in the old manager's hand.

"There are three Tier 5 weapons inside, worth about three Chaos Units. Consider it a tip for you." His voice was as calm as still water.

The old manager trembled, abruptly raising his head, his eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy. Three Mixed Yuan Units… This wasn't a tip, it was a mountain of gold!

His knees buckled, and almost instinctively he knelt on one knee, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "This old man...this old man thanks you, sir!"
