Swallowed Star: Sacrifice to become stronger, the fiancée is enchanting

"I am an intelligent life form, so of course I can appear in the virtual universe. Didn't you see that other people also have their own elves on their shoulders?"

Jiang Lan looked at the crowd.

Just as Babata said, on the shoulders of other people, there were also elves of different colors sitting, but most of them looked like machines, and did not have the vivid feeling like Babata.

Jiang Lan turned his head to look at Babata again, then closed his eyes and felt it.

Entering this virtual universe feels similar to entering the Palace of War God on Earth.

However, although the War God Palace seems very real, if you look carefully, you can tell that you are in a virtual space.

But this virtual universe is completely different.

Here, there is absolutely no difference from the real world.

If Jiang Lan didn't know that he was in the virtual universe, he would even think that he was still in the real world, just in a different place.

Opening his eyes again, Jiang Lan sighed:

"Brilliant!"

Babata, who was sitting on his shoulder, smiled.

"Of course, the Virtual Universe Company is the largest force in the universe. And what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg in the virtual universe.

"We are now at the edge of the Qianwu Continent, on the Black Dragon Island."

"island?"

"Yes, but although it is an island, the area of ​​the Black Dragon Mountain Island is larger than any planet you have ever seen. After all, as long as you are within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and enter the virtual universe network, you will appear on this Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"And the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region has more than 8,000 star systems. In these 8,000 star systems, there are countless planets, and the number of people online is simply incalculable."

"Brilliant!"

Jiang Lan turned into a ruthless sighing machine.

Before, the universe was just a vague concept to him.

But now, Jiang Lan felt the vastness of the universe personally.

The Babata voice continued.

"The elves on the shoulders of the people you saw just now are their 'virtual assistants'. As long as you enter the virtual network, you will be equipped with them. The intelligence of the virtual assistant depends on whether the person surfing the Internet is using a 'virtual helmet', 'auxiliary optical brain', 'intelligent optical brain' or 'intelligent life'.

"The more advanced the equipment, the smarter the assistant. If it's the lowest-level virtual helmet, it's almost the same as the artificial intelligence on your Earth, and it's no different from a mentally retarded person. But for an intelligent life like me, hehe..."

As he spoke, Babata grinned, looking quite proud.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let me introduce it to you again." Babata said: "In the virtual universe, you can teleport, chat with friends remotely, learn martial arts, trade, and play games. The degree of simulation of the game is also 100%. There is nothing you can't play, except what you can't think of.

"In short, you can think of this virtual universe as a super huge planet where countless elites gather together. What can be done in the real world can also be done in the virtual universe. And what cannot be done in the real world can also be done in the virtual universe."

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.

According to Babata, this virtual universe is really a bit outrageous.

If everything here didn't require money, I'm afraid many people would spend their entire lives in this virtual universe, escaping from reality.

After all, the real world has no advantages compared to this virtual universe.

While chatting with Babata, Jiang Lan walked along the street.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and the signs are all written in the universal language of the universe.

There are many types of shops, with everything available, and there are even quite a few restaurants.

Jiang Lan asked curiously:

"Eating in the virtual universe can be reflected in reality?"

"What are you thinking? Of course not." Babata was speechless. "If the virtual universe is so powerful, then why do we need the real world? We all live in the virtual universe."

He changed the subject and continued:

"Although it can't fill your stomach, the food here is much more delicious than in reality. After all, the taste is simulated, and it can be simulated to best suit your appetite."

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Then I have to try it."

Anyway, it will take a few days to return to Earth.

During this period, he basically spent his entire time in the virtual universe.

It's just a meal, not a waste of time.

After talking to Babata, Jiang Lan walked into a restaurant nearby.

The restaurant has a beautiful environment and the decoration is nothing special, but there are no service staff, only a virtual screen for ordering.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Jiang Lan casually ordered a few dishes on the virtual ordering screen.

When the dishes were served, Jiang Lan said to Babata on his shoulder:

"By the way, please help me buy a warehouse near the Earth. Not too close, not too far."

"Why? You want to buy something?"

"I have this idea, but I haven't decided what to buy yet."

Now that I have money and the virtual universe is so convenient, it is inevitable that I will buy some random things in the future.

Things that can be purchased certainly cannot be delivered directly to Earth.

Therefore, it is necessary to rent or buy a warehouse on other planets that are relatively close to the earth.

It's always better to be prepared.

"Okay, I'll help you take a look."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Lan grinned.

The good thing about intelligent life is that it can find what it wants directly through the Internet.

If he were to come by himself, it would probably take him a while just to find it.

"Found it. It's 23,000 light years away from Earth, on Prismatic Star. There are large warehouses for sale there, and the price is right."

Chapter 154 Arrival on Earth

"Sure, you can do it with full authority. Just spend the money directly from my account."

Jiang Lan waved his hand.

It’s just renting a warehouse, it doesn’t cost much.

Even if it is really not used in the future, it doesn’t matter to Jiang Lan just to keep it there.

"Spending money lavishly is not a good habit."

After hearing what Babata said, Jiang Lan said he didn't care.

"Do you think that after I take the trainee mercenary assessment, I can reach the cosmic level?"

"How would I know... But it should be possible, right? Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Jiang Lan said calmly:

"Then, after I reach the cosmic level, can I take the inheritance left by your master?"

"Uh……"

"So, is there anything wrong with me being a little extravagant?"

Babata was speechless.

"Yes, yes, you are right! It's good to spend money, spend more!"

After a pause, Babata continued:

"Forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to contact Prismatic Star."

While the two were chatting, the dishes that Jiang Lan had just ordered arrived.

There is nothing much to say about the dish, it is perfect, delicious and impeccable.

But this is normal. After all, they are all virtual things. If you can't even do the most basic selling point, then there is no point in opening this restaurant.

A few minutes later, Babata's voice sounded again.

"It's settled. The warehouse is 230 kilometers long and 160 kilometers wide. The price of permanent ownership of the warehouse is 15 billion black gold coins. After the purchase, you need to pay a management tax of 100 million black gold coins to Prismatic Star every year."

"Black gold coin?"

Jiang Lan was confused.

He knew about Qianwu coins and Black Dragon coins, but this was the first time he had heard of black gold coins.

"Ah, Prismatic Star belongs to the Wujin Empire, a small country under the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The currency exchange rate with the Black Dragon Coin is 1000 to 1, which means that 1 Black Dragon Coin can be exchanged for 1000 Wujin Coins."

Jiang Lan understood.

In short, this black gold coin is worthless.

If the ratio is one to one thousand, then one thousand Wu coins can be exchanged for one million black gold coins.

1.5 billion...

One thousand five hundred Qianwu coins?

After that, one Qian of Wu coins will be given every year.

"Tsk tsk..."

"Why, it's expensive?" Babata asked.

"This is not expensive at all, I'm just lamenting that it's too cheap."

Jiang Lan had already thought that renting a warehouse probably wasn't expensive.

But he didn't expect it to be so cheap.

Babata just said that the place he rented is 230 kilometers long and 160 kilometers wide. It is not just a warehouse.

This is almost as big as a small province in Jiang Lan’s previous life.

Such a large place is more than enough to be used as a warehouse, even if it is used to move a few people from the base city.

And to purchase such a large place, he had to pay very little.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"In this universe, the gap between the rich and the poor is really huge."

“It’s a big problem, but it’s actually not as serious as you think,” Babata said.

Jiang Lan turned his head to look at Babata over his shoulder, "What do you mean?"

"Your situation is special. Think about it. Under normal circumstances, the weakest person who can earn so many Qianwu coins must be at the cosmic level. And it is normal for a cosmic-level strongman to own territories on several planets. Who would have nothing better to do than buy a piece of land on an ordinary planet to use as a warehouse?"

Jiang Lan suddenly realized.

If you put it that way, then it's true.

He is now a nouveau riche and has nothing except money.

"Okay, let's just leave it at that. For now, let's not worry about the warehouse. We'll talk about it when we have time after we return to Earth."

He didn't have anything to buy now. It was just a warehouse, so there was no need to go over and take a look.

At this time, Jiang Lan also finished his meal, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

On the side of the road, a shop with a game logo painted on it caught his attention.

"What is this for?"

"You can buy any virtual game you want to play here."

"Is there such a good place?"
