Chapter Ninety-Five: A Five-Star Client

After that, the old white-bearded Fog gave Luo Yuan and the others the inheritance crystal spheres containing the thunder secret art and the spatial secret art. No one had imagined that those longed-for inheritance crystal spheres coveted by the world lords were actually embedded within the spatial crystal core of the auxiliary supercomputer.

Luo Yuan took a look and found them excellent. They gave him a much deeper understanding of both thunder and space, and he gained many more techniques as well.

In the end, this Lord Fog followed Thunder God and became the Thunder God's auxiliary intelligent life and teacher.

Inside the control room of the spaceship:

“Third brother,” Hong said in a low, solemn voice. “The other treasures we do not need, taken together, are unimaginably valuable, even more so than that Ice Soul Blade. How do you plan to handle them?”

“Sell them,” Luo Yuan said.

“Sell them?” Hong frowned. “These treasures are far too precious. I’m afraid they’ll be hot property, and may even draw some super-experts here. If we’re not careful, we might not make any money at all from selling them, and could even lose our lives.”

Luo Yuan nodded with a smile. “I understand that. But I have a way.”

“A way? What way?” Hong asked curiously.

“For now, it’s a secret,” Luo Yuan said with a deliberately mysterious smile.

...

Within the dark universe, the spaceship carrying Luo Yuan’s team continued onward. It was already the twelfth day of the voyage, and there were still about nine days left before reaching Earth.

They had no idea that word had already spread in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region of stellar-level adventurers taking action over “priceless treasures.”

Rest cabin of the spaceship.

The rest cabin was arranged much like a study, with a desk and chairs, and at the far end a very comfortable bed.

“It’s time to deal with these treasures. They’re far too hot to hold,” Luo Yuan thought as he sat in the chair. “I exchanged 248 treasures in total, and now 200 of them are of no use to me. I can take them out and sell them.”

Two hundred and forty-eight treasures.

Some were cheaper than the Ice Soul Blade, and some were more expensive. Just one Ice Soul Blade had been enough to send the domain lord Ming Yu into wild excitement.

These 248 treasures combined were probably comparable to a world lord’s entire wealth.

As for the deceased world lord Ka Bu, he had already reached a level comparable to that of a poor immortal. Out of the total 312 treasures, Luo Yuan obtained 249 of them in the end, one of which he gave to Ming Yu. It was clear just how enormous his gain had been this time.

“Connect to the Virtual Universe Network.”

Luo Yuan closed his eyes, and his consciousness rapidly linked into the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine-Star Bay.

At the entrance of the Nine-Star Bay residential district, Luo Yuan raised a hand toward the sky.

At once, a carriage drawn by a winged heavenly horse descended from above. There was a coachman on the carriage, and Luo Yuan leaped directly into the seat at the back.

“Sir, where to?” the coachman asked.

“To the Cosmic River Bank,” Luo Yuan said.

At once the heavenly horse beat its wings, and the carriage shot up into the sky, flying at astonishing speed while only a gentle breeze stirred within the carriage.

In the Virtual Universe, long-distance travel was generally done via fixed teleportation points. For short distances, however, there were these carriages drawn by heavenly horses. Since everyone in the Virtual Universe possessed only physical strength comparable to an Apprentice of the Fourth Rank, they could not fly, and their movement speed was too slow. The flying horses were much faster.

In about fifteen minutes, the flying horse arrived. Luo Yuan stepped down from the carriage and walked through the doors of the Cosmic River Bank.

“Welcome.”

Luo Yuan entered the bank and went directly along the self-service channel beside it into the interior, then into a self-service room.

Once inside the sealed room, a synthetic voice sounded: “Please enter your account number.”

“8492-8593-WOXH-8528-5285-032,” Luo Yuan entered quickly. It was his teacher’s five-star account. Immediately, the room scanned Luo Yuan’s signals, and because Luo Yuan had already withdrawn money once on Bi Yan Star, some basic information had been recorded.

“Password entered. Correct.”

“User confirmed.”

Boom.

The ordinary room instantly transformed into an incomparably luxurious chamber, and a stunning female artificial intelligence stood respectfully at one side.

“Honored five-star customer, hello. I am Intelligence Unit 008231, at your service.”

“Hello.” Luo Yuan smiled at the female intelligence, secretly delighted. Because he had successfully opened that five-star account before, the Cosmic River Bank had already recognized him as a five-star customer.

“I need to dispose of some items,” Luo Yuan said to the woman before him.

The female intelligence bowed slightly with a smile. “Honored five-star customer, our Cosmic River Bank offers consignment services for items. Our bank has extremely powerful sales channels in all the cosmos nations across the boundless universe, allowing your goods to be sold in a very short time. We only charge a one-thousandth service fee.”

Luo Yuan smiled.

This was the treatment of a five-star customer. Selling off these unbearably hot treasures was that simple.

“These are the 200 items I need to sell,” Luo Yuan said, and quickly, through the virtual assistant Xiao Ba, sent the detailed information on all 200 treasures to the female intelligence before him.

“Two hundred items. Our Cosmic River Bank can immediately sell them at auction in the major cosmos nations of the Virtual Universe,” the female intelligence said with a smile. “Please confirm the place and time at which your 200 items will be handed over to our bank.”

“The Cosmic River Bank in Qiankun Wu Star Region, Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, Longtou Planet, Longtou City,” Luo Yuan reported the location, then gave the time as well.

“Time and place confirmed.” The female intelligence smiled. “Please sign the consignment documents.”

A contract floated before Luo Yuan.

The contract was very detailed, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties, as well as breach-of-contract clauses and more.

Beep.

“Consignment documents signed and completed.” The female intelligence smiled. “Honored five-star customer, is there anything else I may assist you with?”

“No more,” Luo Yuan said with a smile, rising to his feet. Turning around, he walked toward the door and pushed it open.

Boom.

The luxurious room vanished at once, returning to an ordinary sealed self-service room.

...

A month later, Luo Yuan and the others arrived at the Cosmic River Bank in Longtou City on Longtou Planet. A specialist had already been waiting there. Through a private secret passage, Luo Yuan entered the bank’s super VIP room.

Three men in Cosmic River Bank uniforms were standing in the VIP room. One of them was actually a domain lord, while the other two were also universe-level experts.

“Sir, please hand over your goods to me,” the domain lord said with a courteous smile. Although he could tell at a glance that Luo Yuan was only at the stellar level...

the level of this transaction was extremely high, and every one of his actions was recorded by the bank’s intelligent system. Therefore, he had to follow the bank’s requirements: humble and courteous, always wearing a smile.

“These are the goods,” Luo Yuan said, handing over a space ring. The domain lord accepted it with a smile.

Zzzzt.

A device in the domain lord’s hand emitted a dreamy beam of light, which shot into the space ring. After only a moment, a voice sounded: “Goods confirmed.”

“Sir, the transaction is successful. Thank you for your support of our Cosmic River Bank.” The domain lord inclined himself slightly.
