Chapter 512 Extravagant Spending! A Dialogue with Company Executives!
Chu Yang entrusted Zando with the responsibility of negotiating with the state.
Don't underestimate Zando just because he's a metallic life form fused with the Zando ship. He's a genuine Marquis-level Immortal, and the Luo family certainly wouldn't dare offend him.
Most importantly, Chu Yang knew very well that Xu Xin, the current head of the Luo family and Luo Feng's wife, must have heard of him.
Sure enough, not long after, Zando's metallic face reappeared on the spaceship's bulkhead and said to Chu Yang:
"Master, Xu Xin wants us to go to Luo Family Fort first!"
Chu Yang nodded, then waved to Liang Wei, who was still gazing at the bright moon, and said, "Let's go! We'll be staying on Earth for a while, so you have plenty of time to look around!"
Liang Wei then withdrew her gaze and followed Chu Yang onto the spaceship.
Luo Family Fortress, as the Luo family's stronghold, can be considered the absolute core of the entire Earth, and even the entire Silver Blue Empire.
With a patriarch who is a core member of the original secret realm of a virtual universe company, the Luo family is enough to make them a highly sought-after family throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
Not to mention the Silver Blue Empire, even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would treat the Luo family with utmost respect.
The Zando landed at the spaceship docking station in Luojiabao. As soon as the hatch opened, two figures came to greet it.
One of them was a bald young man dressed in a white robe, with a smile on his face, giving people an incomparably holy feeling.
The other person was a very beautiful woman with long, flowing chestnut hair and wearing a business suit.
The two stood not far from the spaceship's hatch, without any attendants or bodyguards, and waited quietly.
A moment later, a group of three people emerged from the spaceship's hatch. Chu Yang turned around and said:
"Zando, treat Mr. Lenza well."
A metallic face appeared on the bulkhead. "Master, please rest assured, I have many special rocks here. I believe Mr. Lunsa will like them."
Golden Horned Creatures are rock-based life forms that feed on soil and rocks. Some special crystals containing energy are considered delicacies by them.
Chu Yang nodded. He knew that Lunsa was under a lot of pressure being by his side, so it would be better for her to stay on the spaceship and enjoy a more relaxed life.
As vassals of the human race, the Golden Horn tribe actually lived a miserable life. They did all the dirty, tiring, and dangerous work, while most of the benefits went to the human race.
For example, in this instance, in assisting Luo Feng to complete his mission, all they received was a sumptuous "meal" and an opportunity to get to know the core members of the Virtual Universe Company.
So staying on the spaceship to enjoy a relaxing time while also having delicious crystals to eat was a dream come true for Lensa.
Only then did Chu Yang look at Thor and Xu Xin.
Even though the two had seen many big scenes over the years, they were still somewhat shocked when they saw Zando, this metallic life form.
Moreover, they recognized Zando, but they never expected that the person who had video chatted with them in the virtual universe was actually a metallic life form!
Clearly, Zando's appearance in the virtual universe is different from his usual appearance; perhaps that's what he looked like before he became immortal and merged with the spaceship.
After regaining her senses, Xu Xin took two steps forward, extended a hand, and smiled gently and generously, "Your Highness Chu Yang, I have long admired your name. I never expected to have the honor of meeting you in real life."
Chu Yang knew that Xu Xin was also a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, but she did not yet have the authority to know about him.
Clearly, Xu Xin's understanding of him came from Luo Feng.
Chu Yang shook hands with Xu Xin and then said, "This time, we'll have to trouble the Luo family."
Xu Xin quickly said politely, "Your Highness Chu Yang, you flatter me. You just saved my husband. Now that you're back on Earth, even if my Luo family dares to neglect you in the slightest, I'm afraid even I, the wife of the head of the family, will have to bear Luo Feng's wrath."
Xu Xin said this half-jokingly, but her expression was quite serious.
Just as the atmosphere in the arena became slightly tense, the bald young man next to him suddenly spoke up:
"Mr. Chu Yang, it's a pleasure to see you again!"
This bald young man was none other than Thor, one of the three strongest native inhabitants of Earth, excluding Chu Yang!
However, Thor is currently only at the cosmic level, and has long been left far behind by Luo Feng.
"You actually came back to Earth, that really surprised me..." Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Thor paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "My older brother sent me back. He told me to wait on Earth, saying that a powerful figure at the Giant Axe Arena wanted to take me as his disciple."
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.
Xu Xin knew that was enough, so she stopped exchanging pleasantries and led Chu Yang directly into Luo Family Fort.
The Luo family manor was bustling with activity. On the way, Chu Yang even saw hundreds of children playing on a lawn.
However, the surroundings soon became quiet, and Xu Xin and Thor led the three of them to the front of a manor that looked rather inconspicuous.
Xu Xin explained, "Although this place is a bit old, it was where Luo Feng lived back then, so no one from the Luo family dared to disturb him."
Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Elsa who was following behind him and said to Xu Xin, "Could you find her a few sets of clothes that fit?"
Elsa's purple keratinous carapace is actually active skin formed after Cassia fused with her skin.
Normally, Elsa can absorb Cassia into her body and transform into someone almost indistinguishable from an Earthling.
However, Chu Yang would naturally not carry women's clothes with him, so he didn't mention it along the way.
But since she plans to stay on Earth for the time being, Elsa's appearance is simply too eye-catching.
Although Earth has entered the interstellar age, this is Luo Family Fortress, and only members of the Luo family can enter. It is rare for aliens who are very different from Earthlings to appear here.
Because the Luo family has a family rule that no matter who they marry, they can only marry someone of a race similar to Earthlings.
Xu Xin paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and politely said to Elsa, "Please come with me!"
After bidding farewell to Chu Yang, Xu Xin and Thor took Elsa and left the manor.
In the living room, Liang Wei nestled comfortably on the sofa, then looked at Chu Yang with some suspicion and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about Elsa sooner?"
Chu Yang glanced at her. "Your clothes might not fit her."
Liang Wei was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage!
If she weren't outmatched by Chu Yang, and if he weren't her junior uncle, she probably would have immediately transformed into a giant axe-wielding female warrior.
Elsa is tall and slender, while Liang Wei is the opposite, being petite, which is why she stands in stark contrast to the giant axe behind her.
Hearing these words from Chu Yang made her feel like he was mocking her...
This is unacceptable!
So, Liang Wei walked directly up to Chu Yang, extended her hand, and said:
"Junior Uncle! Before I left, Senior Uncle told me that you would be responsible for all my needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and daily necessities!"
"I need money to go out and have fun!"
At this point, she added, "Points work too!"
She knew that Chu Yang had already passed through the twenty-ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and his points were definitely more than he could ever spend.
Chu Yang didn't refuse and directly asked Pangu to transfer the money.
Upon receiving the transfer notification, Liang Wei immediately smiled and happily entered the virtual universe to check.
But the next moment, Liang Wei suddenly screamed, "One million... Black Dragon Coins?!?"
"How can this amount of money be enough?!"
Chu Yang calmly said, "That's enough. This is Earth, not Qiongyu Star."
"One million Black Dragon Coins is enough for you to travel the world!"
"But remember to withdraw cash from the bank, otherwise many places don't support bank transfers."
After Earth entered the interstellar age, the old currency gradually changed, initially using silver and blue coins as the face value.
However, later, as Luo Feng's status in the Virtual Universe Company rose and Pinghai Company emerged, Earth also became an important planet for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Pinghai Company is the company run by Xu Xin, and it has now become a second-tier subsidiary of Virtual Universe Company.
It was through Pinghai Company that Xu Xin became a core member of Virtual Universe Company.
Even so, many places on Earth still prefer to use cash for transactions, and prices are very low.
Actually, there's nothing we can do about it. Although Earth is highly regarded in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the only thing it can boast about is its catering industry.
How much can food and beverages without special effects sell for?
Therefore, one million Black Dragon Coins is enough for Liang Wei to eat, drink, and have fun on Earth.
Of course, the premise is that you don't gamble!
"Really?" Liang Wei asked, still somewhat skeptical.
For her, it didn't matter how much money she had; what she sought was the thrill of the gambling table and the search for new experiences.
After seeing Liang Wei off, Chu Yang entered the quiet room and then connected to the virtual universe.
Yuxiang Mountain, the primitive area, Manor No. 001.
Chu Yang sat in the living room, quickly browsing the list of items available for exchange in the treasure vault.
Instead of buying the Zerg corpses directly, he planned to go to the Junk Starfield after things were settled in the Rasor World.
While theoretically, buying Zerg corpses in the Junk Starfield should cost the same as exchanging them in the Vault, the problem lies in...
Purchasing Zerg corpses in the Vault requires points, not mixed units!
The immortal deities of the Virtual Universe Company can directly exchange Primal Chaos Units for Points on a one-to-one basis, but on the black market, one Point can be sold for three to five Primal Chaos Units.
Of course, no one would openly trade points, and the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't allow it.
However, there are always more solutions than rules. Transactions on the black market do not involve bank transfers. Instead, sellers directly purchase the necessary treasure items for buyers under the guise of "gifts."
After placing the order, the buyer transfers the mixed units to the seller at the agreed price.
However, the immortal gods disdain to do so, or rather, the Virtual Universe Company imposes stricter constraints on the immortal gods in this regard.
After all, core members below the Immortal level cannot exchange Primal Units for Points.
However, if an immortal were to engage in black market transactions, it would be tantamount to guarding a bug that allows for unlimited point accumulation, which would inevitably disrupt the internal balance of the Virtual Universe Company.
Therefore, Chu Yang planned to spend all of his 100 billion Chaos Units wisely, using them to purchase Zerg corpses.
Moreover, in the garbage star field, he can also use unspoken rules to select Zerg corpses.
If you're lucky, you can find a large number of Kas and Nayuza Zerg corpses, which will reduce the cost of cultivating Takina by about two-thirds again!
So overall, even with Chu Yang enjoying a 50% discount, buying Zerg corpses in the Junk Starfield still offers the best value for money.
If you manage to find the corpses of the Kas and Nayuza insectoids, you'll make a killing!
Of course, this was only one of Chu Yang's reasons for wanting to go to the garbage star field.
His real purpose was for one person!
Soon, Chu Yang purchased a series of items from the exchange vault.
First up is the SDU01-000001 type detection instrument, which is the highest-end detection instrument sold in the Virtual Universe Treasury. It costs 50 billion points, but is half price at 25 billion!
In addition, Chu Yang also exchanged for a series of special materials and treasures, spending a total of 80 billion points.
A supreme technique of the universe that combines the laws of lightning and time, even at half price, still cost a full four hundred billion points!
This purchase was incredibly extravagant, costing over 500 billion points in total, leaving Chu Yang with over 5 trillion points remaining.
It seems like a lot, but don't forget, he also has Takina's money pit!
Once Feng Longna breaks through to the King-level Invincible realm, Chu Yang will begin mass-producing Zerg warriors, at which point the points required will be astronomical!
This is also one of the reasons why Chu Yang used mixed units to buy Zerg corpses.
On the surface, if what you buy isn't the corpses of the Kas and Nayuza insectoids, it's actually a much worse deal than buying them with points.
But in reality, Chu Yang had a deeper plan...
Not long after buying everything, Ettor delivered the ultimate technique and asked Chu Yang for the actual delivery locations of the remaining items.
Chu Yang immediately set his location to Earth and then asked Etor, "Mr. Etor, I have two things I'd like you to convey to the company's senior management."
Upon hearing this, Eto'er immediately perked up.
Chu Yang is the fourth disciple of the original ancestor, and his seniority and status in the Virtual Universe Company are ridiculously high. For him to have a direct conversation with the higher-ups is probably a huge deal.
"Your Highness Chu Yang, please speak." Aydor's posture became even more humble.
Chu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "The first thing is that I want my servants to join the Virtual Universe Company and become core members."
"This..." Etholl's eyes widened immediately.
Are you kidding me? Making your slaves core members of a virtual universe company?
There has never been such a precedent before!
Of course, this doesn't mean that servants of powerful individuals cannot become core members of the company; rather, they need to possess sufficient talent and strength.
Simply using back channels won't work!
Chu Yang added, "Among my three servants, one is a Zerg queen at the Marquis level, another is an invincible human king, and the third is a star behemoth at the peak of the Realm Lord level."
"When I first joined Virtual Universe Company, King Mirror Moon said that I had the right to recruit!"
"Anyone under my command, regardless of their background or origin, can become a full member of the Virtual Universe Company!" (End of Chapter)
