The ninety-nine-story Lexing Tower, standing tall, offered a panoramic view of the scenery in the upper realm.
As the host, Yi Chongqing warmly welcomed Wang Ye and his group.
“Will Lieutenant Colonel Wang be staying on Lemei Planet temporarily or permanently?” Yi Chongqing inquired.
“For a while,” Wang Ye replied with a smile. “In the future, please take good care of me, Brother Qing.”
“It’s only natural. You’re Nai’er’s closest friend, so you’re one of us,” Yi Chongqing chuckled. “If there’s anything you need assistance with, just let me know.”
“Thank you in advance,” Wang Ye responded without formality.
Nante glanced at Yi Chongqing with a peculiar expression. If you treat Wang Ye as one of your own, he might openly court your daughter.
Nante chuckled inwardly when he noticed the adoring gaze Yi Nai’er cast toward Wang Ye.
No need for courting. She had already fallen in love.
Observing Yu Min’s mixed expression of admiration, hope, jealousy, and sorrow, Nante shook his head.
“Well, it seems there’s more than one.” Nante thought.
The atmosphere at the welcome banquet was harmonious, and their relationships quickly became more familiar. Their conversation topics gradually deepened.
“I heard that the Chimeng family attacked a lieutenant colonel in the 018 wormhole encampment, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire army, even killing a Black Hole level expert,” Yi Chongqing said, smiling at Wang Ye.
“Yes, that was my doing,” Wang Ye admitted straightforwardly.
Yi Nai’er and Yu Min were shocked, covering their mouths in disbelief. Wang Ye killed a Black Hole level powerhouse?
“Do you need me to mediate?” Yi Chongqing asked calmly.
“Not for now,” Wang Ye replied. “But there’s something I need your help with, Brother Qing.”
“Just say the word ” Yi Chongqing encouraged.
Wang Ye patted Yao, who stood beside him. “This is my brother from the Milky Way Ace Team. He’s under the control of the Chimeng family. I wonder if Brother Qing can mediate to help him regain his freedom. Money isn’t an issue.”
“It might be a bit difficult,” Yi Chongqing replied after learning about Yao’s current identity. “He’s a talent the Chimeng family is focusing on, and he’s made a name for himself in the military camp. The Chimeng family won’t easily let him go.”
As expected, there was still a status difference.
On Yan Sanqi’s side, the Woya family released her as soon as General Ke spoke. However, there were differences in the sizes of the two families. The Woya family was a super clan with an Undying expert.
Having considerable influence in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, they didn’t care about a mere military camp ace rookie.
“1 understand.” Wang Ye pretended to ponder. “Then, can we reclaim control of my brother’s hometown from the Chimeng family? That’s his greatest wish.”
The previous question was just a probe. This one revealed his true intention.
“A four-star colony planet?” Yi Chongqing was surprised. “With your identity as a cosmic citizen and sufficient achievement points, you can buy it directly. A four-star colony planet would cost at most tens of millions of cosmic dollars… Oh right, you’re a citizen of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.”
Wang Ye nodded. He originally planned to change his nationality, but he found it not difficult.
However, purchasing a colony planet involved three problems. First, the Red River Cosmic Nation had yet to sell the colony planet on the Ancient Battlefield. Second, if sold, the Chimeng family, in charge of managing the Blue Planet, had priority in purchasing it.
Buying a colony planet wasn’t an auction. There was no bidding. Unless the Chimeng family declined to buy, Wang Ye would have a chance.
Just these two points posed a bit of trouble. The third point, however, was the most troublesome.
The Blue Planet was a special time-based planet!
After checking the information, Wang Ye found that a normal time-type special planet had a starting price of 10 million dark crystals. It was too expensive, but he could afford it.
The problem arose when the purchase brought him back to the initial two problems.
For now, he could ignore the Chimeng family.
Time system special planets, the cosmic nation might not necessarily sell them!
There was a greater likelihood that they would serve a special purpose, such as being transformed into a trial ground or a talent development base for the cosmic nation.
So, skipping the inspection and certification process and acquiring control directly from the Chimeng family was the optimal solution.
“1 understand,” Yi Chongqing nodded. “If it’s just a four-star colony planet, there shouldn’t be any issue. I’ll send someone to negotiate with the Chimeng family and inquire about their intentions.”
“Make sure not to mention my involvement.” Wang Ye cautioned Yi Chongqing.
Yi Chongqing laughed reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I know what to do. I’ll update you once I have information.”
Thank you, Brother Qing,” Wang Ye smiled and didn’t show much emotion.
As long as he knew what was more important.
After bidding farewell to Yi Chongqing and his daughter, Yi Nai’er looked back every three steps, her pink lips pouted, expressing reluctance.
Wang Ye also felt a tinge of regret.
After all, a brief separation provided a good opportunity to make progress.
Even if hitting a home run wasn’t guaranteed, getting to the base wouldn’t be bad. Alternatively, playing a round of baseball or even hitting a touchball would suffice. After all, baseball players are known to wear hats during matches.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” Wang Ye assured everyone.
“Indeed,” Lingling smiled sweetly and happily linked arms with Wang Ye. “Let’s go, brother-in-law. Time to head home!”
On Lemei Planet, Lingling had already secured a property early in the morning.
It was Yi Nai’er who acquired it.
Considering Lingling only possessed a beginner’s pass, she lacked the qualifications to purchase property.
However, being close sisters, there was no distinction between them.
Mingxia Manor.
Situated 10,000 meters above the lower realm, the moment Wang Ye set foot on the manor’s grounds, it felt no different from the lower realm in terms of temperature and pressure.
Looking up from the lower realm, the sky displayed the usual blue with white clouds, albeit being a technologically projected image.
The manor, with its small bridges and flowing water, exuded an ancient charm as if nestled in the heart of nature.
Spanning over ten thousand square meters, the manor boasted spacious rooms and numerous servants.
On Lemei Planet, it qualified as a large estate.
“I finally have a place to settle down,” Wang Ye reflected.
“Absolutely,” Nante concurred. He had shared similar experiences.
Both of them had traversed the Milky Way through Ancient Battlefields, spending the most extended time on spaceships.
Yao felt the same way. He had almost forgotten the feeling of having a home.
Constantly on the move across various battlefields, their lives revolved around cultivation and combat.
How is it? Not bad, right? I designed it!” Lingling said, hands on her hips, looking proud, awaiting praise.
“Cultivate, cultivate!” Nante urged with enthusiasm. He turned to Yao without even glancing at Lingling. “Don’t waste time, Yao. The Dark Energy Hidden Dragon selection is only 35 cosmic days away!”
“Eh, where did Yao go?”
Yu Min pointed into the distance.
“Yao, you scoundrel! Wait for me!” Nante’s figure quickly disappeared.
“Two straight guys!” Lingling fumed.
Just as he turned his head back, he realized that Wang Ye was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Brother-in-law?” She asked in surprise.
Yu Min pointed to the upper realm.
“Three big straight guys!” Lingling stomped her foot.
In the upper realm, grandeur prevailed.
Strange buildings soared into the sky.
Various factions were stationed, and the streets bustled with people.
This was the true upper realm of the cosmic nation.
Not only were there starfield faction and inter-starfield factions but also numerous local powers of the Red River Cosmic Nation.
The cosmic humans were mainly citizens of the Red River Cosmic Nation, interspersed with citizens from other cosmic nations, most of them at the New Star level and cosmic level.
However, there were quite several Dark Energy level experts on the eight-star life planet.
Super Star level individuals were rare, and as for Black Hole level, most of them resided in the upper realm of the nine-star life planet.
Wang Ye headed straight to the Myriad Race Slavery Farm.
After upgrading the Time Overlap, he had very few remaining potential points, not even reaching 100 million.
Urgent supply was needed!
Moreover, the number of potential points he could obtain in this round, along with the enhancement of the path of space, would directly determine the perfection of his internal world.
“Eh?” Wang Ye looked in surprise at the graceful and exotic older sister in front of him. The colorful necklace, slightly deformed, was exceptionally eye-catching, making him eager to help rearrange it.
“Ta Ya, everyone calls me Sister Ya.” Ta Ya extended her hand, exuding a unique and alluring charm.
“I’m Wang Ye, everyone calls me…” Wang Ye reached out for a handshake.
“Lieutenant Colonel Wang, isn’t it?” Ta Ya smiled gently. “The goods are ready. Please come in.”
“Alright.” Wang Ye nodded.
This time’s contact was quite good.
As expected, individuals like Zhu Youcan should go to the Ancient Battlefield where the smoke rises.
He entered the inner court along with Ta Ya.
Layers of radiant constraints enclosed the area, with individual arenas filled with cages and the air completely sealed.
Wang Ye was already familiar with this scene, and there was no hint of compassion in his demeanor.
This was the reality of the universe.
At this very moment, on the life planets of the devil and demon races, numerous human experts were being sold as slaves, condemned to the lowest menial tasks with no hope of escape.
Whoosh…
Wang Ye stepped into a large arena resembling a gladiatorial battleground.
A multitude of Dark Energy-level demon and devil commanders populated the area, their numbers several times greater than those encountered on Danhong Planet.
The potential points were abundant!
“These are the Dark Energy level 6 to level 9 slaves you requested, my lord,” Ta Ya’s voice was soft and alluring, “I’ve gathered slaves from other galaxies and various forces, as you wished.”
No wonder there were so many.
Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled.
Onward!
True to his expectations as the overseer of Lemei Planet, Ta Ya proved to be much more astute than Zhu Youcan.
“Excellent,” Wang Ye commended.
Ta Ya smiled and activated her portable super brain.
Just give me the total,” Wang Ye said straightforwardly.
“Sure.” Ta Ya’s enchanting eyes flickered. “The total is 65.6 billion cosmic dollars. With my authority, 1 can offer a 10% discount, making it 59 billion cosmic dollars.”
“Deal,” Wang Ye responded promptly.
Accepting the 590 dark crystals, Ta Ya gave a slight bow before leaving.
Whoosh…
Wang Ye unleashed the Space-lock Battle Domain.
In his hand, the Void Bind Ring absorbed endless energy.
Harvest!
After a moment, 12.5 billion potential points were obtained!
Compared to Danhong Planet, the yield was more than three times greater.
Observing the substantial increase in potential points on his character interface, Wang Ye felt thoroughly satisfied.
To his heart’s content!
And this was only the beginning.
Exiting the Dark Energy level stage, Ta Ya awaited him outside the door, her gentle smile giving a misleading impression.
“Please follow me, Lieutenant Colonel Wang.”
Your smile is quite deceiving.” Wang Ye thought.
Wang Ye quickly entered another vast arena.
His eyes lit up.
A Super Star level slave!
