Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 48 Timing
The old man put the silver bills in the wooden box into his arms and smiled at Xu Jingming and Pang Ze: "The transaction is successful. If you need to exchange gold and silver for cosmic coins or cosmic coins for gold and silver in the future, you can come to me. My reputation can also be checked in Wanjie Group."
"Of course."
Pang Ze suddenly received a hint from outside the Blood Rain World, and nodded with a smile, "The transaction on the other side was also successful."
Liu Hai's package was also sold to the other party! There were some silver and jewelry in the package. It would be very troublesome for Xu Jingming and his team to deal with it, but it would be much simpler for professionals to handle it.
Of course, those jewellery items are all at a discount.
"Happy transaction." The old man nodded, and then said, "By the way, there is one thing I have to tell you in advance. Lord Funa is offering a sacrifice of 10,000 gold coins to go to a mysterious place. He will stay there for an undetermined amount of time, and he will appear in this room when he comes out! Please bear with me."
"It's a small matter." Xu Jingming nodded.
The old man smiled and said, "Based on my understanding of Lord Funa, once he leaves the mysterious place and is protected by the light of the Blood Rain World, he will probably go offline soon and leave the Blood Rain World. He will not stay in the Blood Rain World."
"Lord Funa, is he the Funa from the 'Black Feather Civilization'?" Pang Ze asked.
"Yes, that Funa." The old man nodded, "In the Hunter Universe, there is a famous Funa family... this is the one."
Pang Ze nodded in understanding: "No wonder it was so easy to sacrifice 10,000 gold."
"That's nothing."
The old man shook his head. "This Funa Lord is mainly based on academic qualifications! He even bought a life planet as his territory and used the science he studied to transform and build the planet. I heard that the cost of building the planet exceeded 800 billion universe coins."
"So many?" Xu Jingming's heart trembled when he heard it.
The price of an ordinary life planet is about 100 billion cosmic coins.
Building a planet costs so much?
"A life-bearing planet with nothing usually requires large-scale immigration, the construction of cities, and planetary defense systems, etc. These costs are very high." Pang Ze said, "But spending 800 billion... is indeed too extravagant."
"By the way, is this Lord Funa the legendary 'Baron Funa'?" Pang Ze suddenly thought.
The old man smiled and nodded: "You are well-informed. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, he walked out of the house.
"Barron Funa?" Xu Jingming looked at Pang Ze in confusion, "Who is it?"
"He is a genius scholar from the Hunter Universe, the Northern Sparrow Alliance." Pang Ze said, "He is only a little over a hundred years old this year. He is very young, but his education level is over 85. He is a star figure in the Funa family."
"At least level 85?" Xu Jingming was shocked.
"A scientist."
Pang Ze sighed, "The Cosmic Human Alliance attaches great importance to Evolvers, but also to scientists. As long as the academic level reaches level 100! Even if the body is weak, the Cosmic Human Alliance will use external forces to upgrade such scholars to 'Source Life', so that they have a more powerful brain and a longer life."
"For the Funa family, using a life planet as a testing ground for this genius is a very easy thing." Pang Ze said, "But it is obvious that this genius scholar has also spent some energy on the road of evolution. It sounds like he has reached the seventh level of star life and has entered a mysterious place to explore opportunities."
Xu Jingming nodded.
"In some ancient families in the universe, if an ancestor can reach the tenth level, his life span is 100,000 years!" Pang Ze said, "Their long life span is enough time for the family to become extremely prosperous. With excellent genetic inheritance and the best training, they will cultivate batches of talents, and the family's cohesion will become stronger and stronger."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Compared with those ancient civilizations, the foundation of Blue Star civilization is too weak. After all, it has just been integrated into the cosmic civilization.
"Like me, I only found out about the opportunity of the mysterious land in the Blood Rain World by chance." Pang Ze said with emotion, "But some major forces in the universe have known about it for a long time, and even require that you must reach the seventh-level star life before you are allowed to sacrifice and go to the mysterious land. Jingming, you'd better reach the seventh-level star life before entering."
Xu Jingming was stunned.
"The Funa family requires Barron Funa to reach the seventh-level star life before he can enter. There must be a reason for this." Pang Ze said, "We just have to do it! Barron Funa has a good reputation, and what he says is trustworthy. Besides, there is no need for a person like him to lie to us about this kind of thing."
Xu Jingming nodded.
"How far are you from level seven?" Pang Ze asked.
"Now I am more than 70% of the sixth level." Xu Jingming said, "A few years will definitely be enough for a breakthrough! If it's fast, within a year!"
Pang Ze's eyes lit up.
He is worthy of being the number one genius on Blue Star! Pang Ze was stuck at level 6, with no hope of breaking through. Xu Jingming has only been practicing the Evolution Method for more than a year, and he is already more than 70% of level 6.
"Your talent on the road to evolution is much stronger than other people on Blue Star." Pang Ze was very happy. He felt that a strong man was growing rapidly, and the future of Blue Star would also be supported by other companions.
"By the way, the harvest from Yicui Tower this time, the online transaction, a total of 936 million universe coins." Pang Ze said, "I will send you the contract for the transaction of Wanjie Group later. After this action plan is completed, we will distribute these harvests."
Xu Jingming said happily: "At least we didn't lose money on this deal."
Pang Ze smiled and nodded: "This is the first action, the world is still relatively small! We also ensure that we do not lose money, and we even make a lot of money. The next second key action... is to target Cheng Yanran."
Xu Jingming said solemnly.
Cheng Yanran, this lunatic with a twisted personality!
Because deep down in his heart he told himself that this was a virtual world! So Xu Jingming could calmly accept the normal fighting, after all, the dead people had awakened in reality.
But the horrific torture on the soul! It's too twisted.
For example, Zhang Ke, whose family was all killed and who survived alone, was in despair as if he had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell, and his life was worse than death. Even if Zhang Ke woke up from reality, it would not be easy for him to get rid of the influence of his mental torture.
After all, it is real emotion formed over decades!
There are many people like Zhang Ke in Xu Jingming's team. Many team members had their entire families killed and died in despair and madness.
As the captain! Even the team members were implicated by him, Xu Jingming couldn't stand it!
"When will we take action?" Xu Jingming asked.
"We have to wait for an opportunity." Pang Ze said, "Don't worry, it will be quick."
…
Imperial capital, Prince Yan’s Palace.
Cheng Yanran was in a very good mood. He lay there happily, and a one-armed woman fed him fruit.
"Yicui Tower was actually attacked." Cheng Yanran sighed, "I can't believe it. All those prominent figures were robbed. The third son of the Duke's Mansion, Cheng She, was killed? The heirloom was stolen? Hahaha... Yu Feng must be in a state of panic."
"Your Highness, you shouldn't be so gloating." The one-armed woman smiled slightly and fed him another piece of fruit.
"I am sad. I am sad for Prince Yan's Mansion." Cheng Yanran pretended to be sad. "After all, so many guards died, which greatly affected the business of Yicui Tower. Hahahaha... I can't help it, I can't help it. I am so happy."
The one-armed woman smiled.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside.
"Hmm?" Cheng Yanran glanced outside and frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, Lord Yu requests to see you." A voice came from outside.
"Let him come over." Cheng Yanran curled her lips and ordered.
"yes."
The men outside retreated.
"Our Lord Yu is here." Cheng Yanran sneered.
The one-armed woman frowned, "He came here to borrow the manpower of Prince Yan's Mansion. I heard that nearly two hundred guards were killed in Yicui Tower last night."
"Borrow some manpower?" Cheng Yanran's expression changed slightly. "Is it so easy to borrow my manpower?"
The one-armed woman's ears twitched slightly: "Someone is coming."
"Open the door." Cheng Yanran said.
The one-armed woman stood up and opened the door.
A man in a golden robe strode over from a distance and walked directly into the house. When he saw Cheng Yanran lying on a bamboo chair, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, I'm sure you've heard about what happened in Yicui Tower last night."
"Yeah." Cheng Yanran responded, without sitting up straight, still looking lazy.
"Yicui Tower is the prince's biggest source of income in the imperial capital." The man in the golden robe said solemnly, "We must protect Yicui Tower and stabilize its business. I am now recruiting experts from all over the place, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that the prince does not have many people in the imperial capital, so I need to transfer more people from the palace."
"Lord Yu, how many people do you need?" Cheng Yanran asked.
"Two hundred people." said the man in golden robe.
"Are you dreaming?" Cheng Yanran stared at him. "There are only 500 people in Prince Yan's Mansion. Can I transfer 200 people to you?"
"The guards at Yicui Tower must be much stronger than before," said the man in the golden robe, "only in this way can the guests feel more at ease. Nearly two hundred people died before, and more must be added!"
"Impossible." Cheng Yanran shook his head, "You figure it out yourself."
"It's okay to have fewer people, but they must be top experts." The man in the golden robe frowned slightly, "For example, send more first-class experts."
"Don't even think about meeting one of these first-rate masters." Cheng Yanran said decisively.
"Your Highness." The man in the golden robe said with a gloomy face, "You know, I have the right to mobilize the troops of Prince Yan's Palace."
Cheng Yanran looked unhappy.
"I really don't want to force the transfer." Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran.
Cheng Yanran was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Ten first-rate masters, ninety second-rate masters, a total of one hundred people. Not even one more!"
Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran and smiled: "Okay, then I'll listen to your Highness."
…
Three days after the attack on Yicui Tower, night fell.
The lanterns in Yicui Tower are hung high, and it is still magnificent. Beauties are dancing gracefully, and many dignitaries from the imperial capital still come here to visit.
“Business is still so good.”
Pang Ze was in a private room of an ordinary restaurant, looking out the window at Yicui Tower. Xu Jingming, who was sitting opposite him, was eating with big mouthfuls of food. He said casually, "Last time we captured Yicui Tower, we only wanted money and didn't kill the guests! The only guest who died was the stupid third son of the Duke's Mansion. So it didn't cause too much panic among the guests. In addition, Yicui Tower made up for all the guests lost last time and greatly strengthened its security force."
"Strengthen the escort?" Pang Ze looked at him, "The operation of alerting the enemy has begun."
"Has it started?" Xu Jingming also looked up and looked through the window in the direction of Yicui Tower.
This moment——
On the top floor of Yicui Tower, nine figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, each of them covered with hazy light and shadow.
In the underground secret passage of Yicui Tower, sixteen figures appeared out of thin air, also shrouded in light and shadow.
In a room in Yicui Tower, a famous prostitute was lying down to rest, but two people appeared out of nowhere.
…
In remote places in Yicui Tower, thirty-six people were online at the same time.
The last time Xu Jingming and his team took action, the 100 second-rate masters were the last to retreat. When they retreated, some fled to the rooftop, and some fled to the underground secret passage. Although most of them fled outside Yicui Tower, 36 of them followed Pang Ze's order and went offline directly in a remote place in Yicui Tower.
According to the rules of the Blood Rain World, you can log off if no natives see you.
Three days later!
That is tonight! These thirty-six people came online, and once they came online, they appeared in Yicui Tower, which was the place where they had originally logged off.
"Get started!"
These thirty-six people had received orders long ago, and they went online to target the guests of Yicui Tower!
Kill every guest you see! Until they die in battle!
"Beauty--" A customer was walking in the corridor with a famous prostitute. Suddenly, two big men rushed in front of them, one holding a shield and axe, and the other holding two swords. The customer and the famous prostitute were so scared that their faces changed drastically.
"Help." The guest was terrified and swung the axe, splashing blood everywhere.
The two big men killed the guest and quickly ran off to chase after the other guests. They didn't waste any time on the woman.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The guards outside Yicui Tower were very tight, but there were only a few blue-clothed guards and secret guards inside the building! Facing the thirty-six crazy killers who suddenly appeared in the building, Yicui Tower was obviously caught off guard.
Xu Jingming and Pang Ze were both looking at Yicui Tower from afar through the window. Suddenly, one part of the Yicui Tower caught fire, but the fire was extinguished in just a few breaths .
The two waited silently.
Pang Ze's consciousness even briefly left the Blood Rain World, waiting for the results of the action.
"It took a full 2 minutes and 51 seconds for the 36 experts we sent out to be killed." Pang Ze's eyes suddenly brightened, and his consciousness returned to the Blood Rain World. "According to the information sent by these experts, they killed at least 20 guests!"
"These guests are really brave. They dared to go there only three days after the attack on Yicui Tower." Pang Ze said with a smile, "They can be said to have died in romance under the peony flowers."
Xu Jingming nodded: "The King of Yan's biggest source of income in the imperial capital has been affected, so he must be very anxious."
"With so many customers dead, Yicuilou will be unable to do business in the short term. The more noble one's status is, the more they value their lives." Pang Ze said, "But the people of King Yan will never tolerate this."
…
Inside Yicui Tower, Yu Feng looked at the bodies of assassins in front of him, his eyes reddened: "Not for money, just to kill customers? They are willing to risk their lives for this! These are assassins! Which company sent these assassins just to ruin the business of Yicui Tower?"
"25 guests died. This is a big trouble." Yu Feng knew that something was wrong. Last time he tried to find a way to restore Yicuilou's business, but this time so many guests died. It was too serious.
"There is a force behind the scenes that is targeting Yicuilou." Yu Feng's eyes were cold and crazy.
…
"Your Highness, I need twenty top-notch masters." Yu Feng came to Prince Yan's Mansion and looked at Cheng Yanran.
"You want another twenty top-notch experts?" Cheng Yanran was furious. "How many top-notch experts are there in my Prince Yan's Mansion? You only took ten away last time, and now you want to take twenty more?"
"Yicui Tower is ruined." Yu Feng said, "But if the murderer behind it is not found, the prince's other businesses in the imperial capital will also be in danger."
Yicui Tower is the largest source of income for Prince Yan in the imperial capital, but not all of it.
Yu Feng is the spokesperson for the King of Yan in the imperial capital and the one who truly holds power.
"To track down the murderer, we must have enough manpower, and they must be top experts." Yu Feng said, "Twenty first-rate experts will not affect the palace. I know... you also have a group of experts around you."
Cheng Yanran's pupils shrank.
"Are you going to appoint 20 people, or should I choose?" Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran.
"I choose!" Cheng Yanran gritted her teeth, "I will write a letter to inform my father about everything in the imperial capital!"
"It's up to you." Yu Feng turned and left.
