Chapter 143 Humor Devours Prices
Swallowing the Stars, January 2066 in Earth's calendar.
Xu Qing tapped the silver-gray terminal lightly with his fingertips.
On the pale blue screen, the words "2000 Mixed Yuan Units" appeared, reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.
With this remaining balance, if Xu Qing were truly bored, he could easily buy thousands of galaxies (in small quantities) with a wave of his hand.
That is a territory with a radius of tens of millions of light-years. At that time, Xu Qing will be able to see trillions of stars burning in his territory and receive the worship of billions of races.
However, Xu Qing has not considered this aspect yet.
His gaze fell on the colossal object thousands of meters tall beside him.
It was a pyramid-shaped spaceship with sharp angles, forged entirely from E9-grade alloy, its hull shimmering with a silvery-white light.
This was the vehicle of the mechanical race immortal who was killed by Huyanbo back then.
Even after tens of thousands of years, the energy defenses at the entrance of this mechanical spaceship that crashed on Earth are still powerful enough to kill a third-tier cosmic-level being.
After Xu Qing survived his eighth tribulation, this spaceship became his vehicle, accompanying him through time and space.
"It's time to get a new spaceship." Xu Qing rubbed his chin with his fingertips, his gaze sweeping over the outline of the cannons on the spaceship's bridge.
He had wanted to get rid of this ship for a long time.
The ship itself alone is worth around one or two thousand Mixed Yuan Units, not to mention the three Star Destroyer main guns and nine E3-class laser cannons and Star Destroyer cannons mounted on the hull.
The legendary technological weapon, the Planet Destroyer Cannon, as its name suggests, can destroy a planet with a single shot!
Its power is comparable to that of an immortal being.
Of course, the planet-destroying cannon also has its drawbacks. First, its wide dispersion range makes it impossible for an immortal powerhouse to concentrate its attack on a single point. Second, it consumes an astonishing amount of energy.
Of course, the biggest drawback is that it's too expensive.
What Xu Qing found most outrageous was the pricing of this world-devouring technology.
It seems like a world of science fiction and fantasy, but the technology tree is completely off track.
Even a Domain Lord-level powerhouse who works himself to the bone his whole life can only amass a fortune of 20 billion cosmic coins.
However, the attack power of a D5 railgun may not be comparable to a punch from a Domain Lord-level expert, but it costs 260 billion cosmic coins, which is equivalent to the value of an entire Milky Way galaxy.
An immortal being could save up tens of thousands of Chaos Units over billions of years, but a Star Destroyer cannon requires at least 100,000 Chaos Units to even touch.
That's equivalent to the price of hundreds of thousands of galaxies.
If this happened in any other science fiction universe, he'd probably be considered a madman talking nonsense.
Which mental hospital did he escape from? He needs his medication.
A weapon that can only destroy planets is selling for more than hundreds of thousands of galaxies?
The person who said that must have had their brain hit by a neutron star.
Not to mention those detectors, which can only detect a billion kilometers, yet they are priced at tens of millions of units?
Ten million mixed units?
Are you trying to make me laugh?
Sometimes Xu Qing couldn't help but wonder if the people in this swallowing-the-star universe had gone mad, or if his understanding of "technology" was flawed.
This is practically like saying a pair of reading glasses is worth an entire Earth.
Oh no, it's not that cheap.
Damn, this price is outrageous.
It feels like it's at a level that even detection magic can't save it from.
There are also so-called technological weapons, such as the top-tier Fire Source Divine Crystal.
A single unit of mixed energy worth hundreds of billions is discarded after one use.
Hundreds of billions
If he remembered correctly, the mass of the observable universe in his previous life was only around one trillion galaxies. Just thinking about this data made even Xu Qing's lips twitch.
Upon reading this, he couldn't help but ask Babata if he thought there was anything wrong with the prices of these items.
But this loser naturally provided the answer:
"I feel fine."
Xu Qing:
No problem—my ass—
Do the brain circuits of a gluttonous dog hog grow inside a black hole?
Xu Qing silently kowtowed to the tycoon, thinking to himself, "You guys are rich, you're awesome."
A remote planet.
This is the warehouse planet that Xu Qing rented.
In a flash, a silver-white, pyramid-shaped mechanical spaceship appeared in outer space.
At this moment, in front of the warehouse base stands an incredibly magnificent spaceship with the "Cosmic Galaxy Bank" logo on its fuselage. The spaceship is shaped like a sword, giving it an unparalleled dreamlike feel.
As Xu Qing's spaceship slowly descended, Xu Qing stepped out of the hatch.
Outside the hatch of the sword-shaped spaceship stood three men dressed in Star River Bank uniforms. One of them was actually a World Lord, and the other two were Domain Lords.
These were all distinguished figures who could rule several galaxies, or even dozens of galaxies. At this moment, they stood ramrod straight, like hotel doormen, waiting for him with smiles on their faces.
"Sir, please give me your goods."
The realm lord smiled humbly and politely, though he was shocked to recognize the Hengxing-level being before him at a glance.
However, this transaction was of a very high level, and his every move was being recorded by the bank's intelligent system, so he had to be humble and polite and always have a smile on his face, as required by the bank!
Otherwise, they would be shot dead. "My God, whose descendant is this, trading a spaceship worth hundreds of thousands of Chaos Units?"
"Three planet-destroying cannons and nine E3-level laser cannons."
Forcing himself to remain completely calm, the world lord stored the spaceship inside his inner world, then respectfully saluted the ninth-tier Hengxing before him, and finally took out a world ring.
"Distinguished guest, these are the items you have auctioned at our bank."
"Yes, thank you."
Xu Qing took the ring, and with a single touch, a massive spaceship, also over a thousand meters tall, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Look at this spaceship, it's clearly of extremely high quality, but this realm lord couldn't hold back on the spot, and roared wildly in his heart:
"Huh? What kind of cosmic joke is this? An E9-class spaceship doesn't need divine teleportation!"
Teleportation to the Divine Kingdom also consumes resources, requiring several Chaos Units per trip. Generally speaking, even those who have reached the King level or Immortal level will obediently choose to travel by spaceship.
After all, immortality is eternal.
The realm lord smiled bitterly to himself: "The round-trip transportation fee alone is twenty Chaos Yuan units. I couldn't earn that even if I ran my legs off."
It should be understood that an immortal might not be able to earn even one Hunyuan unit in ten thousand years. These twenty Hunyuan units are enough for an immortal to accumulate for a million years without eating or drinking, and even a realm lord might not be able to accumulate them even if he struggles until his death.
This old man, who's practically a celestial being, squandered the savings of several lifetimes just to buy a spaceship.
"This is no way to squander money!"
Is it really necessary just to expedite things?
Xu Qing looked at the Realm Lord in front of him, who was internally complaining while still wearing a smile.
And the ship's speed of nearly ten times the speed of light is indeed quite impressive.
The universe is too vast to swallow; traveling across star systems can easily take years or even decades.
He had no patience to waste time on interstellar travel, and even less interest in waiting decades for a new ship with similar capabilities.
