Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 114 Hidden Turbulence

Outside the cold moon and stars.

The black dragon spaceship slowly descended, where hundreds of three-meter-tall humanoid creatures with blue skin and strange patterns were already waiting.

These are the people who were originally in charge of managing Hanyue Star.

During the transaction, these people discovered that the account they were trading with was actually from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Knowing that they had encountered a big shot, how could they dare to be negligent?

It's important to know that the minimum requirement for opening an account at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank is 100 million Black Dragon Coins!

Converted to Blue Silver Coins, that's 100 billion!

This is an astronomical figure that they never dared to imagine.

The strongest in the Silver Blue Empire are only at the cosmic level, and there are not many people in the entire Silver Blue Empire who possess such wealth!

So it wasn't just the managers of this planet's warehouses; even the bigwigs who manage hundreds of planets in this region came.

They were especially excited when they discovered the Black Dragon spaceship, which was worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon coins, and wanted to get in touch with the big shot who bought the Cold Moon Planet.

Unfortunately, their ideas were destined to be unrealizable.

Inside the Black Dragon spaceship, Qin Mu did not go out to meet them, but instead had a Chinese elite deal with them.

Once the planetary transaction was fully completed, a 10,000-meter-long armed cargo ship from outside the planet landed on the ground.

Under Qin Mu's command, a group of planetary ninth-tier mentalist slaves skilled in construction began to assess the usage of several warehouses on the planet.

The Cold Moon Star is not far from Earth; traveling through the dark universe would not even take a day.

Therefore, this place will remain an important base for China for a long time to come, and we cannot afford to be careless.

After a professional assessment, it was found that the five large warehouses on Hanyue Star all had problems to varying degrees and needed to be reinforced or renovated.

Qin Mu assigned a Chinese expert skilled in this area to handle the task, granted him certain authority, and then left it to his own devices.

He doesn't need to worry about these things; professionals can do them better than him.

He was more concerned with the metal ordered from the virtual universe to be devoured by the Golden Horned Beast, as well as the flesh and blood corpses of various powerful monsters.

In order to make the only Golden Horned Beast in the swarm evolve faster, a full 30 billion Black Dragon Coins were spent to select a metal that could increase the evolution speed by 51 times, enough for a Golden Horned Beast to devour for a year and a half.

According to the Golden Horned Beast's normal cultivation, it would only take a year and a half to complete the first three levels of the Hengxing realm.

At the Hengxing level, it takes two years to break through to the fourth, fifth, and sixth tiers.

At the Hengxing level, it takes 12 years to break through each of the seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks.

It takes more than 50 years for a ninth-order celestial being to break through to the first-order cosmic level.

But with these well-configured metals, what about the first three layers of the Hengxing star system?

Just ten days!

It took more than a month to go from the fourth to the sixth level of the Hengxing star system!

It's only been a little over nine months since I broke through to the ninth level of the Hengxing realm!

This cultivation speed is simply unbelievable, like they've been cheated.

However, Qin Mu did not intend to feed all of these metals to a golden-horned behemoth.

Within the Zerg swarm, the hatching of the second Golden Horned Beast is also on the agenda. However, the cost of hatching a single-star Golden Horned Beast is too high, and even the Zerg swarm cannot afford it.

In recent days, Qin Mu has combined the Zerg heritage to create a new set of incubation energy calculation rules for his Zerg swarm.

The standard is based on the first-tier Star-level Flametan Zerg.

Hatching a single Star-level Tier 1 Flametan Zerg consumes 1 standard unit of energy.

The second order of the stellar order is 4 standard units.

……

The fifth order of the stellar order is 160 standard units.

……

The 7th stellar order is represented by 500 standard units.

……

The 9th stellar order is represented by 1000 standard units.

The energy required to hatch a Tier 1 Flame Tank is 10 million units!

The energy consumed at the cosmic level is a full ten thousand times that of the ninth level of the eternal star system.

How much energy is needed to hatch a single-star, Tier 1 Golden Horned Beast?

It actually reached a staggering 100 million standard units!

Simply outrageous.

In addition to energy consumption, hatching the Golden Horned Beast also requires the consumption of various precious metals.

Even the insect swarms that have already broken out of the solar system and are exploring further into the distance cannot afford such a huge consumption.

Nowadays, the insect swarm can only harvest a million standard energy per day, and it takes a considerable amount of time to accumulate that much energy.

But Qin Mu felt it was worth it.

If there are two Golden Horned Beast fleets, one can be stationed on Earth while the other can follow, greatly improving mobility and flexibility.

Not only that, hatching the Golden Horned Beast has another benefit.

A portion of Qin Mu's consciousness was constantly comprehending and cultivating within the Golden Horned Beast.

It must be said that the Golden Horned Beast truly deserves its reputation as one of the eight top races among the star behemoths.

Through this golden-horned behemoth, Qin Mu had already sensed the Golden Domain.

They even vaguely sensed the fundamental law of metal!

In just a few months, Qin Mu's achievements in the Metal Domain were almost catching up with those in the Fire Domain.

In terms of comprehending the Law of Metal, the Golden Horned Beast has a significant advantage.

In addition to a large amount of metal, Qin Mu also spent hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins to order a large amount of powerful biological flesh from the virtual universe.

They range from planetary level to planetary level, and even cosmic level.

Many powerful creatures are very valuable when they are alive, but their value plummets when they die.

The flesh and blood of these creatures will be analyzed by the swarm.

These powerful non-Zerg creatures can openly appear in the universe, without needing to hide like units such as the Flametan Zerg.

In case of crisis, one can directly summon the Golden Horned Beast Core embedded in the Cloud Vine on its chest and disguise itself as a beast tamer.

Unbeknownst to Qin Mu, while he was quietly waiting on Hanyue Star for the metals and flesh he had purchased to be delivered, an investigation into the Huaxia Trading Company on Qiulong Star had already begun.

In a virtual universe, in a magnificent conference room.

A burly man with a rhinoceros horn on his head sat in the head seat, letting out a thunderous roar.

"What's the deal with that force that suddenly appeared and is competing with us for the Thousand Peaks Star order?"

"Their weapons are of high quality and relatively inexpensive, giving them a significant competitive advantage over us!"

Below his seat, a subordinate stood up and answered respectfully.

"Lord Manjiao, we have investigated that organization; it is called the Galaxy Trading Company."

This company is a long-established company on Qiulong Star, engaged in a wide variety of trades, from small items like clothing to large items like weapons; there's nothing they don't do.

However, the family behind this company has already sold Xinghe Trading Company due to poor management.

We are still investigating who controls Xinghe Trading Company!

The limited information available so far only allows us to determine that it was likely acquired by a member of a powerful family, but the specifics are still unclear.

The burly man known as the Barbarian Horn frowned when he heard the name Qiulongxing.

Qiulong Star is the core trading planet among hundreds of star systems, and its controller is a powerful domain lord.

Those who can establish themselves on Qiulong Star are no pushovers.

"A scion of a prominent family?"

Now even the burly man with the horned horn was a little unsure, but how could he easily give up an order worth trillions of Black Dragon Coins?

It should be noted that Manjiao is also a level three powerhouse at the cosmic level, and he is not without a background.

In the universe, who doesn't have some kind of background to do the arms business?

"Send someone to probe first, but don't use our own people. Go to the Chaotic Star Sector to find those space pirates."

The burly man with the horned horn thought for a moment. Although he wasn't sure who controlled the Galaxy Trading Company, it was always good to test the waters.

There are too many powerful beings in the universe, and there are also many people within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire that he cannot afford to offend.

It's always better to be cautious when the situation is unclear. To avoid running into a brick wall, he didn't dare let his own people take direct action.

But spreading a few rumors and inciting those space pirates is still fine.

He could roughly judge the strength of the company simply by observing its reaction.

Even if someone is from a prominent family, we need to know which prominent family they belong to!

It wasn't just the force of this burly man with the horned horn; almost simultaneously, three or four arms companies vying for the Thousand Peaks Star order also made similar moves.

Overt and covert investigations are now enveloping the personnel remaining on Qiulong Star from all sides.

The universe is never peaceful, and people want to make money, especially in bloody and highly profitable businesses like arms dealing.

You need either strength, influence, or both.

Peaceful rise?

That's just a beautiful fantasy!
