Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 138 Conversation with Luo Feng

"No matter how you compare it, Earth is far inferior to the City of Apothecaries, but I feel much more comfortable back on Earth."

Having spent more than half a year in the City of Pharmacists, Qin Mu was in a good mood upon returning to Earth.

After achieving perfection in the first level of "Evolution of Flesh and Blood," Qin Mu expressed his desire to leave to his teacher.

Teacher Yu Chen did not restrict where he could go, but only said that he should not neglect his cultivation.

There is a virtual universe where cultivation is not greatly affected.

If Qin Mu wants to participate in the Genius Battle, then he can't stay in the Alchemist Capital to cultivate forever; he must go out to train, fight, and grow.

Geniuses cannot be nurtured in a greenhouse; how could Yu Chen not know this?

This time when he returned, Qin Mu didn't even bring bodyguards; he was only accompanied by ten eighth-level cosmic-level slaves.

This was specially requested by Qin Mu. One of his purposes in returning this time was to collect the mechanical race's spaceships on Earth.

Located in the Bermuda region, that 1200-meter-tall mechanical spaceship.

This E9-class peak-level spaceship is worth one or two thousand Chaos Units on its own. If it also carries the technological data from the Mech Race spaceship, its value is immeasurable.

Therefore, Qin Mu needs to keep it as secret as possible.

After the spaceship arrived above Earth, Qin Mu was just about to fly directly to Bermuda to retrieve the mechanical race's spaceship.

At this moment, the bald crystal man who was monitoring information on Earth sent a message that caught Qin Mu's attention.

"Did Luo Feng successfully possess someone?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

Just like the original timeline, Luo Feng successfully possessed the Golden Horned Beast, and the time it took was almost the same.

However, Luo Feng was clearly confused at this moment and seemed somewhat at a loss.

Over the past year or so, the changes on Earth have been so enormous that many people simply cannot imagine them.

After retrieving the information from Earth and making a check, Qin Mu dialed Luo Feng's number.

"Luo Feng, I am Qin Mu."

Having reunited with his family and digesting the earth-shaking changes that had taken place on Earth over the past year, Luo Feng saw Qin Mu's call and immediately answered it.

"Brother Mu."

Luo Feng said.

"Did the Golden Horned Beast's possession go smoothly? I've just returned to Earth, and there are some things I'd like to discuss with you. You probably have quite a few questions as well. If it's convenient, let's meet up and talk."

Qin Mu said with a smile.

"That's convenient, I was just looking for Brother Mu."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng quickly replied.

After agreeing on a location, Qin Mu ordered the spaceship to turn and fly towards Luo Feng's location.

Qin Mu's current vehicle is no longer the Black Dragon Mountain X81, but a D9-class warship he selected from the gifts he received at the apprenticeship banquet, which he named Galaxy.

At the speed of the Galaxy, it would be very fast to circle the Earth once, and soon they encountered Luo Feng, who was flying on the Sky Shuttle.

"My God, this is a D9-class warship! Qin Mu actually has a D9-class warship! What happened to him in space over the past year?"

The moment Luo Feng saw the Galaxy, Babata exclaimed in his mind.

What is a D9-class battleship?

Luo Feng stopped in the void, watching the triangular warship hatch in front of him open. He flew into the warship while asking questions.

"You haven't been to space yet, so you don't know that even the cheapest D1-class spaceship in space costs hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins. If it's a D9-class spaceship, the price is thousands of times that of a D1!"

This price is very expensive even for a domain lord-level powerhouse.

Thanks to Babata's explanation, Luo Feng already knew the value of Black Dragon Coins, and upon hearing the price of this spaceship, he couldn't help but secretly marvel.

If it's a thousand times the amount of 100 billion Black Dragon Coins, wouldn't that be a trillion Black Dragon Coins?

That's way too expensive!

Guided by the spaceship's AI, Luo Feng arrived at the spaceship's control room. Upon entering, he saw Qin Mu and ten powerful figures of various appearances standing behind him.

"His bodyguards are all eighth-tier cosmic-level powerhouses!"

In Luo Feng's sea of ​​consciousness, Babata exclaimed again.

Luo Feng, who sensed the powerful auras, didn't have many thoughts in his mind. He had been under too much shock recently and was completely numb.

"Luo Feng, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing Luo Feng arrive, Qin Mu smiled and said.

"Brother Mu, the changes on Earth are so great, it feels like a completely different place to me. It's like thousands of years have passed."

Luo Feng smiled bitterly.

He originally thought that after possessing the Golden Horned Beast, his strength would greatly increase, and that on Earth, only Qin Mu, Hong, and Thor would be comparable to him.

Unexpectedly, the Earth is now filled with planetary-level beings, and even planetary-level beings are plentiful. He has even met several cosmic-level powerhouses.

"Haha, the changes on Earth are indeed quite significant, but that's not surprising. You'll get used to it quickly once you enter space."

Qin Mu laughed heartily.

He orchestrated the changes on Earth, and he knew all too well what was happening.

"Let me tell you a little about how the world has changed. You actually deserve some credit for that."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Luo Feng was even more puzzled.

Qin Mu didn't keep them in suspense and explained with a smile.

"You are a descendant of the Meteorite Star, and the rapid rise of Earth owes much to the Meteorite Star's legacy. Do you think it has anything to do with you?"

"More than a year ago, in early 2058, Hong, Thor, Jia Yi, and I led a group of Chinese elites into the universe. It was by relying on the many technologies inherited from Meteorite Star that we made our first pot of gold."

"It was around that time that China officially came into contact with the universe and established the Star River Trading Company."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng smiled. If that was the case, then it did indeed have some connection.

Although Qin Mu obtained this Meteorite Star inheritance by exchanging the Golden Horned Beast and its inheritance, there is still some connection between them.

At this point, Qin Mu's tone became somewhat somber.

"Luo Feng, you know that to enter the universe, you need at least a planetary level, right?"

In space, anything below the planetary level isn't even considered a citizen, cannot travel on spaceships, and could become a slave at any time if captured.

Luo Feng remained silent and nodded.

He knew about these things. When Babata discovered the Zerg led by Qin Mu, he wanted Luo Feng to escape into the universe. At that time, he learned something about the darkness of the universe.

"In the universe, anything below the planetary level is called an apprentice level. Even the so-called high-ranking war gods on Earth were only at the ninth level of the apprentice level."

"Do you know how much a ninth-tier apprentice-level slave is worth in the universe?"

Qin Mu's tone turned cold, and before Luo Feng could speak, Qin Mu continued.

"10 Black Dragon Coins! A Level 9 Apprentice Slave is worth 10 Black Dragon Coins!"

"A level 1 Planetary-level cultivator only costs a few thousand Black Dragon Coins, while a level 9 Planetary-level Spiritualist costs 100,000 Black Dragon Coins!"

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Luo Feng couldn't help but ask Babata, and after receiving an affirmative reply, he immediately fell silent.

"So at that time, we were all extremely afraid that if the Earth were exposed, we would face an extremely tragic end."

There are too many good things on Earth. Just the inheritance of Meteorite Star alone will attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful beings.

Babata, I told you so.

Qin Mu sighed.

"Qin Mu is right. Once Earth is discovered by space adventurers, it will probably become a slave in an instant."

Babata's virtual figure appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder and answered.

Hearing their conversation, Luo Feng clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't imagine how miserable it would be if all his family and friends were enslaved.

"So at that time, I secretly decided that I must become strong so that such a situation would never happen to the Earth."

Qin Mu said.

"After purchasing some powerful slaves and cultivation resources from the universe, we returned to Earth to work hard to improve our strength."

"You should know that I have been working hard to learn about biology since I was on Earth, and later I inherited the Zerg heritage, so I have a bit of talent in this area."

Qin Mu's tone became a little more relaxed.

"Later, Hong, Thor, and I, because of our good talent, attracted the attention of Virtual Universe Company and joined Virtual Universe Company."

I was taken in as a disciple by an immortal apothecary because of my talent as an alchemist.

"What?! You've been accepted as a disciple by an immortal?! And an immortal alchemist at that?!"

Babata on Luo Feng's shoulder was stunned, and everything that was previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear.

"Accepted as a disciple by an immortal?"

Luo Feng, however, did not feel anything was amiss. He had also become an immortal's disciple, and in his opinion, Qin Mu's talent was much stronger than his own, so it was not strange that he was accepted as an immortal's disciple.

"It was during that time that I encountered many powerful beings in the universe, including many immortal beings. I also amassed a great deal of resources, and now the entire Milky Way galaxy is my property."

Qin Mu smiled.

"The entire Milky Way galaxy is your asset?!"

Luo Feng exclaimed, "This is too shocking!"

"There are more than 200,000 life-bearing planets in the entire Milky Way galaxy. If we include transit planets, warehouse planets, mineral planets, and other planets under our actual control with harsh environments, the number exceeds one million."

To control these planets, how many people do you think would be needed? How many powerful individuals would be required?

With the limited manpower available in China, it's simply not enough!

"Therefore, at that time, the Chinese leadership and I made a decision to vigorously cultivate talent on Earth and take real control of these planets as soon as possible."

"As you know, in the universe, you need to be at least a planetary level to be considered a citizen. This means that even if one Earthling controls a planet, it would require at least a million planetary levels!"

"How can those planetary-level planets on Earth be enough?"

As Qin Mu spoke, he brought up a star map of the Milky Way and projected it into the control room. The star map was marked with countless life-bearing planets.

On the star map, less than one-tenth of the more than 200,000 habitable planets are red, while the rest are white.

"Even now, despite our best efforts to cultivate our own talent, due to time constraints, we can only truly control a small portion of them; the rest can only be controlled by slaves."

Qin Mu sighed.

"No wonder there are so many powerful people on Earth now. There are high-level war gods everywhere on the streets. No, I should say apprentice level nine, and even babies are apprentice level one."

Luo Feng suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but sigh.

"How many resources would that take! So many people on Earth, all supported by you, Brother Mu."

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Qin Mu smiled.

"A lot of resources were invested?"

While smiling, Qin Mu produced a fruit in his hand and handed it to Luo Feng.

"Feed this fruit to your Moyun Vine. This Lan Ke fruit has a very good effect on cultivating Moyun Vine."

Luo Feng took the fruit, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Qin Mu suddenly took out a fruit, but he still obediently let the Cloud Vine Armor on his body devour the fruit.

The moment the fruit appeared, Luo Feng also sensed the Moyun Vine Armor's desire for the Lan Ke Fruit.

"This is the Lanco Fruit! The Lanco Fruit is the best item for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if you are seriously injured, taking the Lanco Fruit will have a healing effect."

"Luo Feng, your Cloud-Piercing Vine is only at the seventh level of the Planetary stage. If you consume this Lan Ke Fruit, it will likely reach the Constant stage directly!"

"Babata exclaimed."

Luo Feng nodded and thanked Qin Mu.

"Thank you, Brother Mu."

Seeing that the Cloud Vine on Luo Feng's body had swallowed the Lan Ke Fruit, Qin Mu smiled.

"Do you know how much this Lanko Fruit is worth?"

Luo Feng frowned. Of course he didn't know, and what puzzled him even more was why Qin Mu would ask such a question.

"Babata, you should know, right? In the universe, if it's auctioned by the Qianwu Auction House, 100 Lanko Fruits make up one unit, and the minimum bid for each unit is 1000 billion universe coins."

It can generally be sold for around 1800 billion. That means the Lanko Fruit you just fed to Moyun Vine is worth about 18 billion cosmic coins.

Qin Mu smiled.

"In the universe, the official currency exchange rate is 1 Universe Coin = 3300 Qianwu Coins, and 1 Qianwu Coin = 1000 Black Dragon Coins."

"In other words, if exchanged in official currency, 18 billion Cosmic Coins are equal to 5.94 trillion Qianwu Coins, which is equal to 594 trillion Black Dragon Coins, or 594 trillion Black Dragon Coins."

"A ninth-level apprentice slave is worth 10 Black Dragon Coins. Even if there are 700 billion ninth-level apprentice slaves, they would only be worth 70 billion!"

Even if training a single Earthling to the ninth level of the Apprentice stage costs a thousand times more than purchasing a slave, training 700000 billion Earthlings to the ninth level of the Apprentice stage would only require 70 trillion Black Dragon Coins! 70 trillion Black Dragon Coins!

Seeing Luo Feng's increasingly exaggerated expression, Qin Mu laughed.

"The Lan Ke Fruit that you just let the Mo Yun Vine swallow is worth enough to train 70 billion ordinary Earthlings to the ninth level of the Apprentice stage 84 times!"

Do you still think I've invested too many resources in the Earth?

"Not to mention, I am a pharmacist myself. The gene evolution serum that I inject into Earthlings is produced by myself, and its cost price is very low."

"Luo Feng, this world belongs to the strong! Even a grain of sand slipping through the fingers of a strong person can bury an entire world!"

"Apprentice-level, ninth rank? In the universe, that's not even human! It's a slave!"

After hearing Qin Mu's explanation, Luo Feng was completely shocked.

"So, this is how the strong see the world?"
