Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 111 Slaves

"Mr. Qin," the elderly man from Qibao Store said with a smile, "this is our Qibao Store membership card, which entitles you to a 9.5% discount. Welcome to visit us again."

"No problem," Qin Mu nodded with a smile.

Having spent nearly 50 billion at Qibao Store, the old man knew that Qin Mu and his group were not short of money.

"The supplies for cultivation are all prepared. Let's go check out the slave market."

After agreeing with the owner of Qibao Store to deliver all the supplies to the Heilongshan spaceship at the port, the group set off again.

Qibao Store was very close to the slave market, and it didn't take long for the group to arrive at the slave market.

The slave market was enormous, covering an area of ​​over 300 square kilometers. If it were located on Earth, it would be an absolute behemoth.

But even in Qiulong City, it wouldn't be considered anything special.

Unlike places like the Qibao Shop, the slave market was packed with people, with people buying slaves and slaves being picked over everywhere.

This place was originally the largest slave market among the hundreds of star systems in the surrounding area.

"Come and see, come and see! Look at these Iron Luo people, they're all strong and robust. Although they don't know how to cultivate, each one is comparable to a 'Ninth-Level Apprentice' martial artist. Each one only costs 20 Black Dragon Coins, they're not bad for doing odd jobs!"

A burly, planetary-level man with horns on his head and purple skin, standing three meters tall, was energetically shouting.

"Guest, come and see for yourself! My slaves are all top-tier beauties; whatever kind you desire, I have it!"

There were also beautiful women with fox tails calling out in sweet voices.

Behind her was a group of incomparably beautiful women of all races, some with fair skin, some with fluffy tails, some with cat ears, and some who looked very much like Earthlings... Each one of them would be stunningly beautiful if placed on Earth.

Further away, in a plaza, a group of powerful slaves exuding their auras were present, along with martial artists at the seventh or eighth level of the planetary realm and mental cultivators.

In the middle stood a large group of powerful beings at the Eternal Star level, each one more powerful than Thor, who had just become an Eternal Star.

The group that had just entered the slave market were stunned by what they saw.

Although I had already anticipated it, the sheer impact of seeing it in person was still breathtaking.

"A level nine apprentice martial artist, 20 Black Dragon Coins?"

Jia Yi's eyes trembled slightly. On Earth, this would be considered a high-level war god-level expert!

How many War God-level beings are there on Earth?

"A fifth-tier planetary-level weapon for only five thousand?"

Jia Yi is at the fifth level of the planetary level!

The second-tier weapon he just bought for himself is worth over 100 million Black Dragon Coins!

One weapon is worth more than 200,000 planetary-level powerhouses!

At this moment, he felt no excitement as when he bought the weapons; only boundless fear filled his heart!

Even such powerful individuals are easily treated as slaves. What would happen if Earth were discovered by space adventurers?

Not only Jia Yi, but Hong and Lei Shen, who had just been somewhat excited, also fell silent.

Hong is only at the ninth level of the Planetary Realm!

Thor, Star-level Tier 1!

In this slave market, there are slaves stronger than them everywhere!

"How did they become slaves?"

Hong asked softly.

A businessman soliciting customers heard Hong's words and said with a smile.

"There are many reasons why people become slaves. Look at this group of Teiro people here. They were a group of adventurers who discovered an indigenous planet and sold all the people on the planet into slavery."

From then on, everyone on this planet will be a slave, and their descendants will all be slaves.

And those beautiful women, some were sold by the planetary lords themselves, and some were captured and sold into slavery!

Of course, there are also some who are more powerful, perhaps they were defeated in a war between two forces and became slaves. There are too many possibilities.

"Sir, do you see the slaves I have here? They're all quite good quality. Would you like to buy a couple?"

Hearing the slave trader's words, Hong felt a chill in his heart. If he were discovered by the adventurers, he would become a slave.

Are all our descendants slaves?!

Another slave trader standing nearby also said with a smile.

"Among the countless races of humanity, some of the weaker races, such as those of the ninth or tenth rank, are very weak when they reach adulthood."

Even the creation of a planetary-level planet is incredibly difficult.

It's quite normal for such a race to be treated as a slave race.

Several slave traders joked around, as if this were a perfectly normal scene.

But for Hong, Thor and his group, it was a huge shock!

"Is it normal for people of ninth or tenth class blood to become slaves?"

Earthlings are the ninth class of blood!

When the dark and cruel side of the universe is laid bare before everyone, a chill runs through everyone's heart.

"The Earth must never be exposed!"

This was the only thought in everyone's mind.

Not only them, but Qin Mu was also no less shocked and shaken than anyone else, but he did not show it at all because of his strong will.

"Introduce me to those celestial-level slaves."

Qin Mu smiled calmly.

Three elegant silver guards followed behind, clearly possessing impressive backgrounds.

"Guest, please come this way. We can discuss this in detail in the conference room!"

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, a slave trader beamed with joy. Static-level slaves were different from planetary-level slaves; each one was quite valuable. Buying static-level slaves meant you were a big customer.

Slaves of planetary rank or below are generally not worth much money; once chosen in the market, they are taken away on the spot.

In the short time it took Qin Mu and his group to talk, they witnessed several slaves being taken away.

Many people who come here will casually buy a few slaves, just like buying livestock.

"In the conference room, you can choose any of the options you want via virtual projection!"

Led by the slave trader, the group entered a huge building and arrived at a reception room.

Inside the reception room, a virtual projection appeared in front of the group, showing the appearance of a large number of slaves, their detailed height, strength, race, and so on, including their prices!

All martial artists and mentalists at the first, second, third... ninth level of the Hengxing realm have prices quoted.

First Tier of Eternal Star: 100 million Martial Artists, 300 million Spiritual Masters

……

Fourth-tier Hengxing level: 2000 million for martial artists, 6000 million for mental cultivators.

Fifth-tier Hengxing level: 8000 million for martial artists, 24000 million for mental cultivators.

……

Eighth-tier level of the Eternal Star: 20 billion for Martial Artists, 60 billion for Spiritual Masters

Level 9, Eternal Star: Martial Artist 5 billion, Mentalist 15 billion

Qin Mu looked at these quotes, and they were all at normal levels. The prices of star-level slaves were transparent, and each place had roughly the same prices with very little fluctuation.

With the control of biochips, these slaves, no matter how strong they are, will not rebel against their masters. Once the biochips are implanted, they cannot break free and are completely loyal to their masters.

Unless one becomes a domain lord-level powerhouse, it is impossible to break free from control.

"We still have 150 billion Black Dragon Coins at our disposal, and we must strengthen our power as much as possible."

Qin Mu thought to himself, "This money can't all be used to buy slaves. The amount of metal that the Golden Horned Beast uses to devour its prey is also considerable."

"The industries within Qiulong Star must be guarded by someone, and there must be strong military force to suppress them. At least one level nine martial artist of the Hengxing Star level is required."

Trade ships also need protection to avoid being attacked by space pirates.

In the starry sky, mentalists have a greater advantage, requiring a level nine mentalist of the constant star level.

"The presence of insect swarms on Earth isn't necessary, but having a level nine powerhouse of the Eternal Star realm present can certainly teach Earth's stronger individuals a lesson."

After thinking it over for a moment, Qin Mu spoke.

"One ninth-tier Star-level Spiritualist and three Martial Artists!"

"Three level-eight spiritualists and six martial artists."

"Ten spiritualist martial artists of the fifth rank at the Eternal Star level."

"1000 spiritualist martial artists of the first rank at the Eternal Star level."

"These slaves must be of the Mongol race."

Qin Mu said that he didn't know much about slaves either, but it didn't matter, because the slave race that Luo Feng bought was carefully selected by Babata.

The Black Mongolian people are a very cost-effective option.

He would select some of these slaves to analyze, and then they could be hatched by the swarm.

"In addition, I need a group of slaves who are proficient in medicine, mechanics, commerce, etc. Strength doesn't matter, just planetary level is fine. You can provide these as gifts, as I have some industries that need manpower to manage."

You guys negotiate the price; I need a reasonable discount!

Qin Mu spoke to the slave trader manager who was waiting nearby.

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, the person in charge's face immediately lit up with joy.

My God, this customer I brought in by chance has such great financial resources. He spent more than 67 billion Black Dragon Coins after just one glance!

This is the God of Wealth!

"No problem! I'll definitely give you the biggest discount! 10% off! That's the biggest discount I can offer!"

Qin Mu listened but didn't say anything, he just waved his hand and told his men to go and talk to him.

It's beneath me to haggle over prices myself; it doesn't fit my public image.

The person in charge immediately fell silent and led Qin Mu's men aside to discuss the price.

This deal is no small sum; if it goes through, he'll receive a hefty bonus.

Not long after, the person in charge came over with a long face.

"Mr. Qin, your subordinates are indeed capable, possessing a deep understanding of the slave trade. No wonder you chose them at only a planetary-level rank."

"All the slaves combined are worth 60 billion Black Dragon Coins. You may take them all. In addition, we will give you 10,000 talents proficient in medicine, mechanics, commerce, and other fields. Their strength is all at the ninth level of the Planetary Rank, and they are all mental masters!"

Qin Mu simply smiled and didn't reply.

60 billion Black Dragon Coins, which is about 90% of the original price, and 10,000 Planetary Level 9 Spiritual Masters sound like a lot, but in reality, they are only worth 1 billion Black Dragon Coins.

A ninth-tier planetary-level mentalist isn't worth much; one only costs 100,000 Black Dragon Coins.

While I may not understand the purchase of slaves, the professionals in China have long since figured it out.

"These slaves will be sent to the planetary docking port, where my people will take them over."

Qin Mu said calmly.

A few trade data points at the beginning have been slightly modified, but this will not affect the reading experience later.
