Chapter 224 The Passionate King Longjue
The Wulong Starfield, one of the nine garbage starfields, is actually a real treasure trove.
Ripples spread across the dark starry sky, and a flying saucer-shaped spaceship appeared out of thin air, followed by a figure flying out of the hatch.
Zhou Ze glanced at the palace complex floating in the starry sky in the distance.
With his left hand slightly clenched into a fist and extended, a Class D standard spaceship appeared in the starry sky. Zhou Ze flew directly aboard and instructed the spaceship's AI, "Go to that palace complex!"
The spaceship accelerated, transforming into a blurry streak of light as it flew towards the palace complex.
The palace complex is square and has an outer wall. Inside the wall are dozens of palaces of varying heights and sizes. The entire palace complex is over 10 kilometers long and wide. There are also some black-armored guards patrolling outside the walls. The entire palace complex's defense and alert system had long since detected Zhou Ze.
"Stop." A warning signal was sent to Zhou Ze's F-class mechanical spaceship.
"I've already reserved a spot for the Garbage Mountain treasure hunt. I'm coming to Garbage Mountain to search for treasure!" The D-class spaceship replied.
moment.
The D-class spaceship landed outside the main gate of the palace. Zhou Ze put away the D-class spaceship and stood in the starry sky, looking at the vast palace complex in front of him. The palace complex was completely protected by a faint energy shield.
"Boom!" The main gate opened.
To Zhou Ze's surprise, a person with dark red skin and red eyes walked out, surrounded by a black-armored guard and a group of black-armored guards.
"Haha, apprentice, welcome to my Wulong Star Region!" King Longjue greeted him with a smile. "I have long admired the 'Sacred Master' senior. I never expected that the 'Sacred Master's' disciple would come to my place."
Well, his online persona is indeed incredibly famous; people in such a remote place actually know about him. But thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone who pays even a little attention to this Genius Battle should know about it or be attracted to it.
"Senior King Longjue, you are too kind. I am not worthy of your personal greeting." One cannot hit a smiling face, especially since I am only a cosmic-level being on the surface, while King Longjue is a titled king.
King Longjue was an interesting person. Despite holding a high position and occupying such a lucrative post, he was very good at dealing with people. He would not easily offend ordinary people, and he would be very polite to those who had a little potential.
"Haha, you're too modest. Leaving aside the fact that you're a disciple of a 'Saint Master,' and you've been with the company for about two hundred years, to pass the 9th level is an extremely rare and exceptional talent, even in the entire history of the Genius Battle!"
Seeing that Zhou Ze showed no arrogance as a peerless genius or a teacher renowned throughout the universe, Longjue Wang's smile deepened.
"Come, it's fate that you've come to this remote, garbage star system and we've met. Let me give you a proper welcome!" King Longjue pointed inside and said very politely.
"Then I shall humbly accept your invitation and apologize for disturbing you, senior."
Although Zhou Ze really wanted to go directly to the garbage dump to find treasures, he had to give them some face since they were so enthusiastic.
The most majestic and tallest palace in the palace complex was guarded by large groups of white-clad guards, each of whom possessed peak Realm Lord strength.
Zhou Ze followed King Longjue into a quiet side hall, where a large number of exquisite and thirst-quenching dishes, beverages, and fine wines had already been prepared on the table.
It looks quite valuable.
It was clear that King Longjue had put a lot of thought into it.
After taking their seats, King Longjue raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "Apprentice, I have long admired Senior 'Saint Master'. It's hard to believe that in a single Genius Battle, you and your four fellow disciples all made it into the top ten. This is unprecedented in the entire history of the Genius Battle."
To most people in the universe, both the apprentice and Thor are disciples of the "Saint Master".
"Senior, you're too kind—" Zhou Ze was humbled and apprehensive when King Longjue offered him a toast.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Ze got down to business: "Senior King Longjue, I've come here to relax and also to try my luck."
Let's see if we can find any treasure.
I won't bother you any longer.
"Haha, that's true. You're not as leisurely as me, with plenty of time—" King Longjue laughed. "In that case, I'll give you a hundred years of Taobao time and a large world ring."
"We have plenty of time, we can come back another time, haha—"
That's really generous, although this amount of money is nothing to Longjuewang.
"Senior King Longjue, you are too kind. As a powerful king in a high position, it is already enough that you personally greeted and entertained me. Now you have given me such a generous gift. I am truly unworthy of it!"
Zhou Ze felt that he was really lucky. He had people helping him wherever he went. Although it was related to the strength and talent he had shown, few immortals and high-ranking kings would care about a genius. After all, a genius may be a genius, but he might not be around any day.
"It's alright. You yourself said I'm a King, and in a high position. This little thing is nothing to me. As a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, you should know a bit about this, so it's really nothing. You don't need to feel any psychological barrier—"
King Longjue originally intended to establish a good relationship, but the more he chatted with Zhou Ze, the more compatible he felt. He realized that Zhou Ze was indeed a very good young man, not only because of his extraordinary talent and comprehension, but also because of his commendable character.
So it's good to make a small "investment" and build good karma.
It must be said that Long Wang is very different in personality from other immortal kings in the universe. Other immortal kings have the confidence and dignity of being strong, so how could they possibly condescend to befriend a genius who has not yet fully grown up?
King Kelong, however, would not easily offend any genius with potential, and he treated everyone the same way, making him a kind-hearted person.
He was able to reach such a lucrative position because he befriended a peerless genius who was still a child.
"Alright, I'll have two guides take you to the garbage mountain later. Zhou Ze, I wish you the best of luck in finding a priceless treasure there!"
King Longjue laughed and said, "Speaking of which, one of our internal members casually browsed the online marketplace and found a fragment of an ancient treasure."
He made hundreds of millions of Hunyuan units in a single transaction and became rich overnight. "Haha, I also hope I have that kind of good luck, but it's too difficult. I just hope to find something useful—" Zhou Ze said with a smile.
Next, Zhou Ze set off with two men in white robes.
Just a moment.
"In the human territory, our personnel have sent a message to the Wulong Star Region, one of the nine garbage star regions. Zhou Ze, No. 10, is going to enter the garbage mountain of the Wulong Star Region to search for treasures. It is estimated that he will be in the Wulong Star Region for quite some time."
A piece of intelligence, after hundreds of code changes, was transmitted in the virtual universe network in the form of a very ordinary email to an email receiving point under the organization's headquarters.
