Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 188: Buying the Slave Market! [Second Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"What!? A big shot wants to buy my Flood Dragon Star?"

The Flood Dragon Star Lord, who was vacationing on the Silver Blue Empire's capital star, was shocked upon receiving a communication from Cardinanlos.

"Lord Cui, do you know that just five minutes ago, this big shot spent nine million universe coins to buy a galaxy? He seems like a big shot cultivated by a super force!"

As Cardinanlos revealed one piece of information after another, the Flood Dragon Star Lord was utterly horrified and trembled as he said, "Planet-level… nine million universe coins?"

After hearing Cardinanlos's words, he was stunned on the spot, his mind blank.

As a domain lord-level powerhouse with a wide circle of friends, the Flood Dragon Star Lord naturally knew what kind of powerful force it took to use such a massive amount of universe coins at the planet level!

At least, much stronger than himself!

"Old Card, you must… you must hold onto this great figure for me. I can be back in ten days at most!"

At this moment, the Flood Dragon Star Lord was so shocked that he was stuttering!

Even a tiny bit of what such a figure from a powerful force might reveal would be inexhaustible for a domain lord like him!

Moreover, spending nine million universe coins to buy an insignificant galaxy had already left the impression of 'rich and foolish' in this Trist Domain Lord's mind.

But how could any inheritor cultivated by a truly powerful force be weak?

"Old Card, first help me entertain them well on Flood Dragon Star! Wait for me to return."

"All expenses for this great figure will be on my account—no, wait! Not on my account!" The gold-robed domain lord quickly changed his mind at the thought of that stranger's terrifying spending.

"Or, should you meet in the virtual universe first?" Cardinanlos asked tentatively.

"No, no, no!! Meeting in the virtual universe is a bit disrespectful. Let's meet in person!"

At this moment, the Flood Dragon Star Lord had made up his mind.

Even if he had to give away his Flood Dragon Star to that great figure, he would definitely latch onto this high branch.

The reason was simple.

He was already at the ninth rank of the domain lord level, only one step away from the world lord level.

This seemingly short step often trapped countless domain lords until their lifespan was about to end, without any way to break through.

But now,

Lin Ye's arrival gave him this opportunity.

After secretly making up his mind, the Flood Dragon Star Lord immediately contacted a spacecraft and began to return at full speed.

...

"Lord Lin Ye, the Flood Dragon Star Lord is still on his way back from the Silver Blue Empire. Please wait here for about ten days."

Cardinanlos said respectfully.

After all, he wasn't too familiar with Lin Ye and his group, and didn't understand their personalities, so he naturally had to show his most respectful side.

"Chan'er, Fire Rong, what do you think?"

Hearing the bank manager's words, Lin Ye turned to look at the white-clothed girl, waiting for her answer.

"I think the young master can stay on this Flood Dragon Star for a few days. While buying some things, he might be able to gain a deeper understanding of the cruelty and reality of this universe."

Chan'er thought for a moment, then added, "For example, the young master has never seen slave trading. We can go to the slave market now and take a look."

"I'm very familiar with the slave market," Cardinanlos eagerly chimed in.

"Okay, then let's listen to Chan'er and go to the slave market first!"

After speaking, Lin Ye looked at the branch manager of the Universe Star River Bank and said with a smile, "Next, I'll have to trouble the manager."

"It's my honor!"

...

Stepping out of the Imperial Office.

Lin Ye looked up at the sky, which seemed to be covered with a layer of colorful gauze, his eyes reflected with the colorful hues.

The entire sky presented a wave-like pattern of colors from near to far, which was very eye-catching.

"So beautiful!" Lin Ye sighed softly.

"The sunrise and sunset of Flood Dragon Star are indeed very beautiful in the surrounding star systems," Cardinanlos said with a smile. "If you could buy a manor here and use it as a vacation spot, it would definitely be a great place."

"Swish!"

As soon as these words came out, Babata, Chan'er, and Fire Rong all looked over, their expressions a little strange.

"Ah! Look at my memory!"

Cardinanlos patted his head lightly, then said, "My brain short-circuited just now, and I forgot that Lord Lin Ye wants to buy the entire planet, not just a manor."

"Let's go, to the slave market." Lin Ye ended the topic and looked into the distance.

"Sir, would you like to take transportation or fly over?"

"Let's fly over. I can take a look at the local customs of Flood Dragon Star along the way and get familiar with it in advance."

Lin Ye nodded slightly, expressing his thoughts.

"Okay, then let's fly out. The slave market is not far from here, about twenty minutes away."

After speaking, the group flew up.

They walked and talked, taking in the scenery of Flood Dragon Star and the giant castles along the way.

The architecture and customs here were completely different from Earth, forming their own unique style.

Most of the buildings exuded a strong cultural atmosphere, looking like works of art, standing in Flood Dragon City.

Cardinanlos introduced these buildings in every detail, and Lin Ye silently remembered them.

Chan'er and Fire Rong remained unmoved. They had seen too much of the world with Venerable Burning Dust, so they would naturally not be attracted by the things of a small place.

On the other hand, Babata was noisy all the way, very curious.

He looked like a prisoner who hadn't been released for many years, full of infinite vitality!

As the flight continued, the flow of people around began to become denser.

"There are giants with eight arms here, probably twenty meters tall. Their arms are longer than my body!" Lin Ye flew in mid-air.

His bright eyes looked around, and he became as curious as Babata.

The crowds on both sides were surging, very lively.

But despite this, flying in this city did not feel crowded at all.

Looking at these humans of different breeds and skins, Lin Ye was quite curious and silently sighed at the magic of this universe.

Many times, seeing is believing, and that's exactly what it means.

Without personally experiencing the local customs here, you would never know that there are so many different 'human races' on Flood Dragon Star!

"Wow! This person looks like Maitreya Buddha. His whole body faintly emits golden light, and even his head is shining, like a big light bulb!" Babata looked at a certain human in the crowd and muttered in a low voice.

Lin Ye also looked over with Babata's gaze and immediately gained some knowledge.

"This one is Stellar level seven, Stellar level one, Stellar level nine, Stellar level three… Why are the humans here, flying in the air, all Stellar level existences?"

With one glance, Lin Ye found that the realm of humans on this planet was generally very high, many times stronger than Earth.

"Because humans who are not Stellar level are walking on the ground." Chan'er's clear voice sounded, and then her gaze fell to the ground.

Lin Ye: "…"

He looked at the dense, ant-like humans on the ground, almost all of whom were Planet level.

Among them, there were also some Stellar level powerhouses who did not fly, choosing to walk among the crowd.

"On this Flood Dragon Star, Planet level is just ordinary, Stellar level can be considered a powerful master,

and Universe level is the overlord of a star system, and above that are domain lords or world lords who rule a primary universe civilization…"

The encyclopedia Babata started operating again, introducing Lin Ye to some relevant common sense.

"It seems that I also need to become Universe level as soon as possible and have stronger power!"

Lin Ye thought as he walked, and a trace of heat inevitably arose in his heart.

The reason was simple.

He didn't lack money, resources, or even secret techniques and ultimate moves now.

Even things like gravity training rooms and trial towers, which assist in cultivation, were readily available.

The only thing missing was his own cultivation time.

Many times, Lin Ye had thought about forcibly improving by constantly absorbing Wood Sprout Crystals and other treasures.

However, such an idea was nipped in the bud by Chan'er without mercy.

The reason was simple.

The realm improved by relying on external objects was far less stable than improving through life-and-death battles.

For this reason, Chan'er formulated strict realm improvements for Lin Ye, ensuring that he could improve naturally at every stage.

To this, Lin Ye could only express his acceptance.

Soon, the group flew to the entrance of the slave market.

"Sir, this is the slave market."

Cardinanlos said respectfully.

Many passing Stellar level warriors couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene.

Many of them recognized the manager of the Universe Star River Bank's Flood Dragon Star branch.

Because they recognized him, they were horrified.

When did this Universe level manager treat a young man who was only Planet level with such humility?

The passersby couldn't help but stop and watch, and Cardinanlos didn't care about their gazes at all, leading Lin Ye into the slave market like a guide.

The slave market was one of the most prosperous places on the entire Flood Dragon Star.

The slave market, which was more than 300 kilometers long and wide, housed more than 10 million slaves.

"Sir, in this slave market, you can buy slaves from apprentice level to Stellar level nine, male or female, warriors or spiritualists, everything is available here."

Cardinanlos enthusiastically introduced the place, but Lin Ye's next sentence directly shocked him.

"Are there any Universe level slaves here? I want to buy a bunch."

Cardinanlos: "…"

After suffocating for a moment, the branch manager recovered and asked in surprise, "Lord Lin Ye, if you want Universe level slaves, I can contact slave traders to keep an eye out for you. If there are any in the future, I'll notify you."

"Okay!" Lin Ye nodded.

He was quite satisfied with this suggestion.

Then he looked at Chan'er, who had a cold expression, and said, "Chan'er, why don't you help me choose some slaves with better cultivation talent and aptitude? I'm going to take them back."

Hearing this, Chan'er raised her chin with some dissatisfaction and said, "What's there to choose? Buying all the slaves above Planet level here wouldn't cost much money. Why waste time choosing?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Cardinanlos, but even Lin Ye was dumbfounded.

Was she so arrogant?

"Young master, you have money now. Even if you take out one ten-thousandth of your wealth, it would be enough to buy all the slaves here!"

Chan'er winked at Lin Ye and said with a smile, "Therefore, you don't need to choose them yourself. Just buy the whole thing. After cultivating them for a few years, you will naturally know who has strong or weak talent."

"One ten-thousandth of my wealth is 10 billion universe coins!"

"Converted to Ganwu coins, it would be 33 trillion. This amount is a bit too much!"

When Lin Linye calculated the amount of money, even his big heart couldn't help but beat non-stop.

"Young master, don't care about the amount of money now. What you need to care about is your identity!"

"Moreover, you are now the lord of the Milky Way. In the future, whether it is managing the entire galaxy or building the Milky Way defense force, you will need a lot of manpower."

Chan'er said one after another, looking very serious, "Only slaves bought will be the most loyal and trustworthy."

"Okay, then buy the entire slave market!" Lin Ye adopted this suggestion.

And put it into action.
