Whoosh!
The C-class spaceship pierced through the atmosphere.
Through the external view simulation, Luo Feng immediately saw a massive silver city below.
It was an incredibly vast docking port, filled with countless spaceships.
These spaceships varied in size, with the smallest being only tens or even a dozen meters long.
The longer ones were typically large transport ships, reaching lengths of over ten thousand meters.
"Signal received, we're heading to the C-class area."
While controlling the spaceship, Babata, as a phantom, introduced to Luo Feng, "The Red Leaf Star docking port's A-class area is for regular spaceships, battleships, and so on; the B-class area is for B-class spaceships and battleships; the C-class area is exclusively for C-class spaceships and battleships."
"Above that are the D-class area, E-class area, and a special area reserved for the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
...
The massive docking port was divided into numerous sections.
In the C-class area, every spaceship and battleship was extremely expensive, at least requiring ordinary Stellar Rank individuals to accumulate wealth over a long time to afford them.
Whoosh!
The spaceship slowly descended and finally landed. With a 'hiss,' the hatch opened.
Luo Feng flew out of the spaceship, followed by two silver-armored guards dressed in black.
As soon as he exited the spaceship, he instantly felt a change in gravity. "The gravity on Red Leaf Star is about seven or eight times that of Earth..."
Whoosh!
Feeling a ripple in the air, Luo Feng turned his head and saw a gray-furred Ape-man man in a cyan uniform flying towards him.
"Respected Sir, welcome to Red Leaf Star. You have docked a C-class spaceship, 32 meters in length. The docking fee is 640 Azurewood coins per year. If the docking period is less than one year, it will be calculated as one year."
The Ape-man man said, taking out a translucent card and presenting it to Luo Feng. "This is your docking card, please keep it safe."
"Luo Feng, proceed as planned." Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind.
"Understood."
Luo Feng secretly replied, then with a flip of his hand, he tossed a coin over.
"Ganwu Coin."
The Ape-man man's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly caught the coin.
According to the official exchange rate of the Azurewood Empire, 1 Ganwu Coin can be exchanged for 1,000 Azurewood coins.
However, Azurewood coins cannot be exchanged back for Ganwu Coin; it can only be done through the black market, where it usually takes two thousand Azurewood coins to exchange for one Ganwu Coin.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the intermediate Universe countries under the jurisdiction of the Ganwu Universe Country, Ganwu Coin is a symbol of status!
"Riding a pure metal luxury spaceship, using Ganwu Coin, and accompanied by two silver-armored guards..."
The Ape-man man envied in his heart, "It seems he's another scion of a powerful Family."
As a Planetary Level Rank Nine Warrior, working on a prosperous planet like Red Leaf Star, he had seen many scions of powerful Families.
However, when he saw scions of powerful Families like Luo Feng, whose strength was weaker than his, he couldn't help but feel envious.
"Babata, are we going to the bank to withdraw money now?"
Following Babata's guidance, Luo Feng stepped on his Soaring Shuttle and flew in one direction at a moderate speed, with the two silver-armored guards following behind him.
"First, let's resolve your identity issue." Babata replied, "You can't roam the Universe without the identity of a Universe citizen."
Luo Feng nodded at his words, looking down to see many magnificent estates below, some as small as one kilometer in diameter, and others tens to hundreds of kilometers.
"Only on a prosperous and extremely well-policed planet like Red Leaf Star are there so many estates built in the suburbs."
Babata sighed, "Usually, even on the territory planets of Universe Level or even Domain Master powerhouses, one still can't avoid encountering bandits on the way to the planetary city."
"Are bandits that rampant?" Luo Feng asked in surprise, "Don't those Universe Level and Domain Master powerhouses manage them?"
"It's hard to manage. Anyone who dares to be a bandit is at least Stellar Rank."
Babata retorted, "Are the territory planets of Universe Level and Domain Master going to recruit a large number of Stellar Rank individuals to fight bandits?
"How much money is that worth? Is it worth letting Stellar Rank, these planetary overlords, risk their lives?"
Luo Feng frowned at his words.
Indeed, Stellar Rank individuals are often the top powerhouses of a life planet. Letting a planet's people earn wealth for themselves is much easier than risking their own lives.
"So on Red Leaf Star, I told you to bring the silver-armored guards just to save Face, to avoid unnecessary trouble." Babata chuckled.
"Understood." Luo Feng nodded slightly.
...
Half an hour later.
Following Babata's guidance, Luo Feng arrived at a rather bustling skyscraper, with people of various appearances entering and exiting it.
"This building is the Azurewood Empire Management Office. The Nationality Management Office is on the 12th floor." Babata reminded him.
As soon as Luo Feng entered the building, staff members immediately came forward to greet him warmly and led him to the elevator.
"It's the silver-armored guards."
"A Planetary Level individual with two silver-armored guards protecting him, he must be a scion of some powerful Family."
"Sigh, if only such a scion of a powerful Family would take an interest in me."
When Luo Feng entered the elevator, several staff members immediately began to converse in low voices, and one of the Ape-man women sighed.
...
On the other side, after Luo Feng reached the 12th floor, he quickly obtained Azurewood Empire nationality.
The Human Territory is vast, and the Ganwu Universe Country alone has tens of thousands of intermediate Universe countries.
While it is rare for someone not to have the nationality of a certain intermediate universe country, for the Azurewood Empire staff on Red Leaf Star, they occasionally encounter such cases.
Luo Feng, accompanied by two silver-armored guards, walked out of the Azurewood Empire Management Office building and asked in his consciousness, "Babata, can we go to the bank to withdraw money now?"
"No problem, now we're going to the Universe Star River Bank's Red Leaf Star branch." Babata guided, "It's over there..."
Luo Feng ascended into the air, flying in the direction Babata indicated.
The high altitude of Red Leaf Star was spacious enough, and the density of flying humans was not high, allowing him to fly at a relatively fast speed with the two silver-armored guards.
"Luo Feng, once you withdraw the money from the bank, go to the Virtual Universe Company to open an account and purchase a Virtual Universe Network login device. Then we can communicate in the Virtual Universe."
Babata said, "Communicating in the Virtual Universe Network is very convenient, and at the same time, the Virtual Universe Network has many facilities that will help you improve your strength."
Then, Babata meticulously introduced the various benefits of the Virtual Universe Network.
Luo Feng was very shocked and curious, "Babata, what kind of technology does the Virtual Universe Network have that allows people scattered anywhere in the Universe to communicate instantly through the network?"
The Universe is boundless.
From what he understood, even with "Universe Shuttle," some distant places still required hundreds or thousands of years of Dark Universe flight.
However, this Virtual Universe Network could actually allow people to meet and communicate.
What technology?
What technology does this network use?
"I don't know what kind of technology it is either." Babata said, "This kind of technology, even the Ganwu Universe Country hasn't mastered it; only the 'Virtual Universe Company' has! All major Universe Countries have branches of the Virtual Universe Company."
"That powerful." Luo Feng exclaimed, then curiously asked, "Babata, compared to the Virtual Universe Company and the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, which one is more powerful?"
"The Virtual Universe Company monopolizes the Virtual Universe Network, while the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company monopolizes over ninety percent of the equipment and potion business."
Babata explained, "Both are Leviathan of Humanitys; it's hard to compare them."
"Although the Ganwu Universe Country, and other Universe Countries, are 'Universe High-Level Civilized Nations,' and their strength is very powerful!"
"However, in the Universe, what is truly powerful... is not the Nations." Babata added, "But rather some seemingly scattered, yet incredibly powerful forces!"
"Which forces?" Luo Feng was a bit curious.
"Virtual Universe Company, Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, Huge Axe Dojo, Universe Star River Bank, Universe First Bank, Universe Mercenary Alliance."
Babata introduced, "These are the Sixth Leviathans of Humanity in the Universe, each possessing an absolute monopoly!"
"The Virtual Universe Company and Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, I've already mentioned, so I won't talk about them again."
"The Huge Axe Dojo is the fairest battle ground. As for its power, you will know in the future."
"The Universe Star River Bank and Universe First Bank both do business with wealthy people. Even Immortal beings generally store their money and treasures in these two major banks."
Babata said, "Your teacher's stored assets are kept in the 'Universe Star River Bank.' The three accounts and backup account I gave you are from the Universe Star River Bank."
Luo Feng nodded slightly, seemingly the same as banks on Earth, just with different client levels.
Babata added, "The Universe Mercenary Alliance is a loose organization. Over 99% of Warriors and Spiritual Masters join the Universe Mercenary Alliance!"
Luo Feng was immediately startled by this, over 99% of Warriors and Spiritual Masters joining?
Looking at the entire Universe, probably no other force could compare!
Fortunately, the Universe Mercenary Alliance is a loose organization.
At this point, Babata said with some regret, "Your teacher was also a part of the Universe Mercenary Alliance back then, but not an internal core member."
"Internal core member?" Luo Feng wondered.
"Only by becoming an internal member can one truly experience the true nature of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and core members have a higher status than internal members."
Babata explained, "When your teacher was still a World Master, he received an invitation from the Ganwu Universe Country's Universe Mercenary Alliance branch, but your teacher refused."
"Did teacher look down on it?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.
The Universe Mercenary Alliance is a Leviathan of Humanity, yet his teacher refused an invitation from such a power.
"It's not that he looked down on it."
Babata replied, "Rather, before your teacher received the invitation from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, he had already received an invitation from the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Teacher is an internal member of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company?"
Luo Feng curiously asked, "Babata, that's not right! Didn't you say teacher had no backing?"
"If only that were the case. Before your teacher joined the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, he offended a scion of a powerful Family."
Babata sighed, "That person's Family had a great influence in the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, so your teacher didn't join after finding out."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, "Babata, was that scion of a powerful Family perhaps the enemy who killed teacher?"
"No, the one who killed your teacher was someone else."
Babata replied, "That scion of a powerful Family didn't even care about your teacher's offense. Later, after learning that your teacher became Immortal, he even actively invited your teacher to join the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"But your teacher held a grudge and, after some thought, still refused."
Luo Feng was speechless at his words.
His teacher was truly amazing, refusing invitations from two Leviathan of Humanitys.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Babata, did teacher also refuse invitations from other forces?"
"Oh, how did you know?" Babata was surprised.
"It's true!"
Luo Feng was even more speechless and asked, "Which other Leviathan of Humanity did teacher refuse?"
Babata replied, "It wasn't a Leviathan of Humanity, but the Ganwu Dojo."
"Ganwu Dojo?"
Luo Feng immediately associated it with the Ganwu Universe Country, "Babata, what is the relationship between the Ganwu Dojo and the Ganwu Universe Country?"
"The Ganwu Dojo was established by the Ganwu Universe Country, primarily to cultivate Genius powerhouses. The outstanding ones will be absorbed by the Ganwu Universe Country and become direct subordinates of the Lord of Ganwu."
Babata explained, "Your teacher received an invitation from the Ganwu Dojo when he was at the World Master Level."
"Why did teacher refuse?" Luo Feng asked, feeling a bit tired.
"Because your teacher felt that the Ganwu Dojo lacked sincerity, as only an ordinary World Master came to invite him."
Babata added, "You should know that your teacher had just become a World Master and had already defeated a World Master Level Five powerhouse, gaining immense fame."
"At that time, your teacher was extremely proud. If the Ganwu Dojo had sent an Immortal being to invite him, your teacher would have immediately chosen to join."
Luo Feng felt that his teacher had never made the right choice.
If his teacher had accepted any of the invitations, he wouldn't have met his demise.
"Actually, your teacher most wanted to join the Molten Rock Empire. He even actively applied to join, but was rejected." Babata suddenly spoke.
"Molten Rock Empire? An intermediate universe country?" Luo Feng was stunned.
His teacher was so proud, refusing invitations from even Leviathan of Humanitys and the Ganwu Universe Country, yet he wanted to join an intermediate universe country, and was even rejected!
Perhaps guessing Luo Feng's doubts, Babata proactively explained, "The reason your teacher wanted to join the Molten Rock Empire was because he was aiming for the Ganwu Universe Country's number one mentor, 'King Molten Rock'."
"Ganwu Universe Country's number one mentor?" Luo Feng asked in confusion, "Is King Molten Rock's guidance of his Disciples really that impressive?"
"Of course it's impressive! Legend has it that King Molten Rock has cultivated multiple super powerhouses."
Babata exclaimed, "Therefore, King Molten Rock holds an extremely high position in the Ganwu Universe Country, known as the Ganwu Universe Country's number one mentor!
"If King Molten Rock had been in charge of the Ganwu Dojo back then, your teacher would have actively applied to join even without an invitation from the Ganwu Dojo."
"King Molten Rock, Ganwu Universe Country's number one mentor..." Luo Feng heard this and mentally noted the name.
"Speaking of which, the founder of the Azurewood Empire, Marquis Azurewood, is said to have a good relationship with King Molten Rock."
Babata added, "The reason your teacher settled in the Azurewood Empire was also because of this connection."
Luo Feng felt speechless. His teacher truly was something, even resorting to a roundabout approach. Did he really want to receive guidance from King Molten Rock that badly?
But based on his guess, his teacher never received guidance from King Molten Rock until his demise, otherwise Babata would definitely have mentioned it.
...
While speaking, Luo Feng arrived at the Universe Star River Bank's Red Leaf Star branch, ready to withdraw the money from his backup account.
