Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 126 The World Ring and Fishing

After settling all the guards in, Qin Mu returned to his cultivation room.

With the protection of this group of guards, the safety of Hanyue Star has been greatly improved, and there is basically no need to worry about safety.

The reason Qin Mu has stayed on Cold Moon Star these days is also for the purpose of protection.

Although they repelled the space pirate attack last time, the exposed wealth is likely to attract even more covetous eyes.

Relying on slaves is not enough to deter space pirates and those behind them.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. After all, they are not truly one of our own, and there are many things we cannot let them know.

"Look at what the teacher gave us."

After verifying his identity, Qin Mu opened the palm-sized box.

Inside the box, there was only one thing: a ring.

A simple, black ring that looks unremarkable.

"A spatial ring?"

Qin Mu thought to himself.

Space equipment is very rare, and Qin Mu was able to obtain one by extorting it from Babata.

However, when Qin Mu probed into it with his mental power, he was immediately startled.

"What a vast space! No! This isn't a spatial ring, it's a world ring!"

"The length, width, and height of this world ring are at least tens of thousands of kilometers."

Compared to spatial rings, world rings are far more precious. Not only are they larger, but they can also store living things, just like a real world.

Qin Mu's expression was one of shock. The Golden Horned Beast's current strength was at the seventh level of the Hengxing Star, and its inner world was only seventy kilometers long. Compared with this World Ring, the difference was simply too great.

"The value of this world ring is calculated in terms of Hunyuan (a unit of primordial energy), it's incredibly precious."

Hunyuan is a high-level unit of circulating currency; one Hunyuan is equal to one trillion Universe Coins!

Compared to this World Ring, the 10 billion Cosmic Coins seem insignificant.

Consciousness swept across the world ring. This world was very empty, except for a cluster of buildings stretching for hundreds of miles in the center.

This complex of buildings, stretching for hundreds of miles, resembles a giant dragon winding and coiling across the land, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The palace complex is scattered across this vast land in a well-organized manner. Each palace soars into the clouds, resplendent in gold and jade, exuding endless majesty and nobility.

Each palace is filled with expensive instruments, no less than those in the laboratory in the virtual universe, and perhaps even more complete.

Furthermore, there are palaces specifically for storing massive amounts of medicinal raw materials, roughly enough for Qin Mu to use for hundreds of years.

"This is a portable laboratory! The palace itself is one thing, but all this equipment and medicine—how much did it cost?"

In the end, Qin Mu even discovered a group of imprisoned Skyfire Crows in a cluster of palaces!

These fire crows vary in strength, with the weakest at the sixth level of the Hengxing realm and the strongest reaching the ninth level of the cosmic realm!

Each one has been implanted with a biochip, waiting for it to choose its master.

To be honest, Qin Mu was moved. He had only met him once, yet Qin Mu had already accepted him as a disciple and prepared so many things for him.

They even prepared Skyfire Crows, clearly Skyfire Crows for their own research.

I had only mentioned that I was good at making Heavenly Fire Crows, but I didn't expect my teacher to remember it!

"How fortunate I, Qin Mu, am!"

In the cultivation room, Qin Mu looked at the ancient black ring on his hand, lost in thought.

After a long while, Qin Mu put the ring on his hand and entered the virtual universe to continue his studies.

I'm still too weak right now; becoming stronger is what I need to do.

However, before focusing on cultivation, some dross needs to be cleared away.

……

On the star-shaped dragon, more than a dozen armed transport ships bearing the markings of the Star River Trading Company were docked at the port.

For several days in a row, massive convoys loaded huge quantities of goods into transport ships.

Countless people watched this scene with envy.

After receiving the funds transferred by Qin Mu, Xinghe Trading Company began its procurement in a high-profile manner.

This contains metallic composite materials that were devoured by the Golden Horned Beast, as well as massive amounts of industrial raw materials, and perhaps expensive large-scale detection devices.

The value of this shipment is enough to make even a cosmic-level powerhouse envious.

However, the escort consisted of only a few B-class warships and a small number of level 9 slave guards.

In an inconspicuous corner of the port, Li Xingtao pushed up his glasses, watching the goods being transported up one by one, a ruthless look in his eyes.

After the attack by space pirates, the situation of Star River Trading Company did not improve, but instead became worse.

Countless forces coveted the suddenly emerging Star River Trading Company, and their overt and covert probing never ceased.

In fact, several employees of Xinghe Trading Company have died in the past few days due to various "accidents"!

Some people have already lost their patience!

However, luck was on China's side.

Qin Mu not only successfully passed the pharmacist's exam, but also became a disciple of an immortal powerhouse.

"Go ahead. After this, Galaxy Trading Company will be able to truly establish itself in the universe and truly stand firm in the universe."

God bless China!

Li Xingtao watched as massive armed cargo ships took off, gradually accelerating into the dark universe under the protection of several warships.

Following these cargo ships, more than a dozen warships of various sizes and merchant ships took off and entered the dark universe.

"The fish has taken the bait."

After sending a message in the virtual universe, Li Xingtao headed towards the headquarters of the Star River Trading Company, escorted by a group of Black Mongol slaves.

On the Cold Moon Star, Qin Mu walked out of the cultivation room.

Ren Yu and twelve ninth-level cosmic-level guards boarded the D-class spaceship bearing the logo of Virtual Universe Company behind Qin Mu.

"I'll need your help getting rid of some rats in a bit."

Inside the spaceship's control room, Qin Mu smiled and addressed the guards behind him.

"Serving His Highness is simply what we are supposed to do."

Ren Yu said respectfully.

As they talked, in the distant starry sky, one after another, spaceships belonging to the Star River Trading Company, laden with cargo, emerged from the dark universe.

They were only escorted by a few warships, making them appear somewhat weak.

"Buzz—"

A humming sound of spatial vibrations rang out, and behind the cargo ship, nearly a hundred modified space pirate warships painted with various bizarre patterns rushed out of the dark universe.

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

Beams of pre-charged laser light shone brightly in the starry sky.

This time, however, the Star River Trading Company's warships and cargo ships seemed to have been prepared, turning up the power of their defensive shields to the maximum!

Inside the space pirate warship, a burly man in bat-winged scale armor grinned as he looked at the transport fleet in the starry sky.

"You've gotten smarter? Unfortunately, resistance is meaningless in the face of absolute power!"

This time, more than a dozen space pirate groups from the Chaotic Starfield participated in the hunt, and even several cosmic-level powerhouses joined in. What will you use to resist?

This burly man with bat-winged scales was none other than the leader of the space pirates who had fled in panic after attacking the Star River Trading Company last time!

However, he was clearly not the leader of this attack.

A newly emerging power without the protection of a strong leader but possessing immense wealth is far too tempting in the universe; countless people would love to take a bite out of it.

After a lengthy investigation, they have determined that there are no powerful individuals within the suddenly appearing Xinghe Trading Company, and the so-called disciples of powerful families are merely a facade!

Otherwise, it would be impossible that after so many tests, there would be no response at all!

However, it wasn't long before someone on the space pirate warship spotted a Class D spaceship bearing the logo of Virtual Universe Company flying out of the sky above Cold Moon Star.

Immediately, some people broke out in a cold sweat.

Space pirates are the ones who know best who to avoid.

Among these forces that cannot be trifled with, Virtual Universe Corporation is definitely number one!

"boom--"

"boom--"

Under the overwhelming force of the D-class spaceships, one after another, the pirate warships began to flee in panic.

"A Domain Lord-level expert!"

"How can there be so many ninth-tier universe-level powerhouses!"

"This is a trap."

"The Galaxy Trading Company is actually backed by the Virtual Universe Company? That's impossible!"

"..."

Among the space pirates, powerful figures watched in despair as figures flew out of the Virtual Universe Company's warship.

How could a group of hastily assembled space pirates, whose strongest member was only at the third level of the cosmic realm, possibly be a match for a domain lord-level expert!

As Qin Mu said, this was just a garbage cleanup operation.

After becoming an apprentice, Qin Mu now has a domain lord-level expert by his side. Before he can fully devote himself to cultivation, he needs to clear away obstacles to China's development.

In a while, he will also need to go to the pharmacist's headquarters, at which point he will not have the time or energy to deal with these trivial matters.

So, they decided to go fishing and catch all the hidden covetous eyes in one fell swoop.
