Swallowed Star - Chapter 358

Chapter 358
“Weren’t you guys a five man squad?” captain Bendi looked towards Luo Feng’s group of four .

As one of the two universe level fighters in the world within a world, Bendi has access to a lot of detailed information .

“We were, but one of our squad members died” sighed Luo Feng .

“Killed by who?” frowned Bendi .

“One of the men under the ninth prince” Luo Feng wasn’t in such a good mood . Even though Tie Nan He was a slave, there weren’t any slaves on earth . So Luo Feng didn’t subconsciously treat his slaves as ‘goods’ and treated them like bodyguards instead .

So Tie Nan He’s death made Luo Feng grateful for Tie Nan He’s service and also angry at the ninth prince .

“The ninth prince?” Bendi shook his head, “Then we can’t do anything . Far too many people have died by his men” .

“I understand” Luo Feng nodded .

“If you guys can survive, Lord Ming Yu will surely be very happy” smiled Bendi, “A reminder, I’m also under Lord Ming Yu” .

“Oh?”

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were extremely shocked . As the head of the four organizations, Three Axe Mountain has many sector lords and domain lords . ‘Ming Yu’ isn’t exactly an elite in Three Axe Mountain, and yet one of the two universe level fighters that appeared in Three Axe Mountain’s group is under Ming Yu .

“So captain Bendi was also under Lord Ming Yu,” Luo Feng let out a face of joy .

“Haha, when we leave the world within a world and head back to Cang Lan Star, you guys come with me to see Lord Ming Yu together” Bendi smiled . If it wasn’t for their common superior ‘Lord Ming Yu’, Bendi wouldn’t personally come greet Luo Feng’s group .

“For sure,” Luo Feng smiled as he responded .

Bendi then left . As a higher up of the Three Axe Mountain’s group, there were many things Bendi had to deal with .

Even though it was late into the night, people wearing battle uniform sets and helmets could frequently be seen entering the Thunder Castle in the middle .

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looked at the Thunder Castle in the middle from far away in the crowd .

“Big brother, second brother, what are you guys preparing to exchange?” said Luo Feng through his spiritual force .

“A D6 grade rail gun and a Thunder instruction manual” said Thunder God .

“Alright” smiled Luo Feng .

This is what it’s like to be rich: just buy whatever you want .

“Big brother, what about you?” Luo Feng looked towards Hong .

“It seems like there aren’t that many things that are beneficial to me . If there are any ‘Life Fruits’ left, then help me buy one . Also, if there are any ‘Heart of Stars’ left, then buy me that too . That’s it for now” said Hong .

“Understood” Luo Feng nodded, and then let out a smile, “Big brother, second brother, I’ll be using the leftover thunderstones to exchange for other treasures . . . . . those treasures also represent a huge amount of wealth . After we leave, we can use that huge amount of wealth to exchange for some things that we really need” .

“Alright” smiled Hong .

“Thirdie, do what you want, since you were the one that got all of these stones” snickered Thunder God, “Your big brother and me are just taking advantage of you” .

. . . . .

Luo Feng wasn’t in a rush to exchange immediately . He first silently observed . There were indeed quite a few people who entered the Thunder Castle . However, 99% of them are probably just decoys to confuse other people .

The night slowly passed, and a sliver of light appeared in the world within a world .

The cold breeze blew across the plain . Luo Feng, who was wearing an alloyed battle uniform set while wearing a helmet and had an alloyed blade on his back just like every other universe adventurer headed straight towards the Thunder Castle .

“He’s going to the ancient castle”

“Is he a decoy, or actually going to exchange for something?”

“Who cares if he’s actually going to make a transaction, hurry up and report this to the lord . The captain of that four man squad went to the ancient castle”

“Yes”

The adventurers on surveillance duty under the ninth prince immediately reported this information . Of this, Luo Feng knew nothing about . However, even if he knew, Luo Feng would just laugh without a care . . . . . as part of the army of the Three Axe Army, Luo Feng really wasn’t afraid of anything .

While the large amount of people under the alliance watched, Luo Feng stepped into the gates of the castle .

Thunder Castle, a gloomy, cold, ancient room .

Luo Feng silently stood there .

“I want to make a transaction” yelled Luo Feng .

“Wait a bit kiddo” a low sound reverberated around the ancient room, “There are a lot of people making transactions these two days, so I’m a bit busy . Let me finish with this one first”

Luo Feng was shocked when he heard this: “The living AI is currently dealing with someone else?”

“MAN, THAT’S DIRTY!” yelled Babata .

“What’s wrong?” inquired Luo Feng .

“This living AI is sure a messed up and sinister person” said Babata angrily, “Even though there are many people from the alliance entering the castle, it’s just one person every few minutes . And that is when a lot of people are entering! Isn’t the living AI telling you directly . . . . . that the person before you is actually making a transaction?”

Luo Feng was extremely shocked .

“You have no power or authority . But if you did have authority and was the leader of a huge team, what would you do?” asked Babata .

“I would arrange for people to keep an eye on him . After he leaves the alliance’s area, I’ll make my move” Luo Feng’s eyes were filled with shock .

Understood, he understood!

“So yeah . This living AI sure is sinister . As a living AI, could he not predict the consequences of every word he says? His computation ability is extraordinary, so he wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake . Which means . . . . . he’s doing this on purpose!”

“There is only one reason he has for doing this: to make you guys kill each other!”

“This living AI is seriously sinister . ” Babata was extremely angry .

Luo Feng was also a bit angry .

If their guess is correct, then the living AI in this ancient castle is probably the reason why the ninth prince Brolin arranged for people to chase them down . Otherwise, there is no other explanation . . . . . why would the great ninth prince only go after Luo Feng’s group and not other groups!

The sound of footsteps carried from the hallway . A fat, white bearded old man smiled as he walked in . There was a layer of light surrounding his body . If you observe carefully, you could barely discover . . . . . that this white bearded old man was not a real person, but a being made out of energy .

“Lord Wu,” even though Luo Feng was a bit angry in his heart, he appeared to be very well-mannered on the surface .

Fighting against a ‘messed up’ living AI that has been lonely for tens of thousands of years is a very stupid thing to do .

“Hey kid, this is our second time meeting isn’t it?” smiled the white bearded old man, “It seems like your harvest went well . Tell me, what do you want to exchange for?”

“One life fruit,” said Luo Feng .

“You exchanged for a life fruit last time and you still want another one?” the white bearded old man looked at Luo Feng with surprise .

“Yes” nodded Luo Feng .

“None left, none left,” the white bearded old man shook his head in response, “all the life fruits I have are gone, not a single one left”

“Not a single one left?” Luo Feng froze .

Yeah, thunder stones represented treasure, but that doesn’t mean ‘thunder stones’ can absolutely give you the treasure you want . Because the treasures here are limited! Like even if the ninth prince ‘Brolin’ gets a ton of thunder stones later, he’ll never be able to get the third password to the crystal ball of inheritance .

“Then I’ll exchange for a heart of stars” said Luo Feng .

“Don’t have any of that left either” the white bearded old man shook his head .

“What? None of that? Then . . . . . there at least must be a D6 grade rail gun left” Luo Feng stared at the white bearded old man .

The D6 rail gun is not that useful for sector lords and domain lords . So the chances of someone exchanging for it is quite low . And, there are even a total of three D6 grade rail guns available .

“None of that left either” the white bearded old man shook his head, “On the first day, a single person exchanged for all three of these D6 grade rail guns in one go”

“Uh–”

Luo Feng took in a deep breath .

None of that, none of this, none of anything .

“Lord Wu, what treasures still remain?” Luo Feng looked at the white bearded old man .

“There are still 63 treasures remaining” the white bearded old man smiled as he looked at Luo Feng, “Since you seem good, I won’t waste your time” . As he said that, he waved his head . In a moment, rays of energy gathered around him and formed a screen . On the screen was a treasure list which clearly displayed how many of each treasure remained .

“No . 1 The bank account to the entire spatial instruction manual inheritance crystall ball (three accounts), stock: none .

No . 2 Master’s bank account, stock: none .

No . 3 Domain lord level bloodline evolution potion (one portion)

. . . . .

No . 18 Thunder instruction manual set (six manuals in a set), stock: five .

. . . . .

No . 68 level 5 genetic energy weapon ‘Fire Wheel’, stock: none .

Luo Feng looked at this list and took in a deep breath .

Holy .

None, none, none, none, none, none! A huge list of “nones” made one’s heart go cold .

“Kiddo, what’ll it be?” the white bearded old man smiled as he looked at Luo Feng .

And yet, Luo Feng was in a dilemma . Which one should he pick?

“Luo Feng, what are you so confused about? Stupid!” Babata’s voice rang in his mind .

“You want a heart of stars? There’s none here, but it’s available in the universe!”

“You want a life fruit? It’s also available in the universe!”

“As long as you have enough wealth and the proper connections, you can purchase them . So . . . . . there’s no need to be confused . All you have to do is exchange for the more valuable ones out of this list . These treasures represent a huge amount of wealth . Can’t you just purchase what you want in the universe later?” said Babata .

Luo Feng laughed .

Such a simple idea, and yet his thinking was restricted to the list in front of him .

“These are the ones that are more valuable, so purchase these” Babata told Luo Feng which items to purchase as they communicated with their thoughts .

“That, and that”

“And those, I want all of those”

“And that Thunder instruction manual set, I want all of the remaining five sets” Luo Feng was rich .

The white bearded old man was stunned .

Because those with a lot of thunder stones purchased what they needed at the beginning . Towards the end . . . . . those who come to exchange don’t have that many thunder stones . And yet, Luo Feng wanted so many items in one go . The amount of thunderstones required was quite an alarming amount .

“That’ll be a total of 9 . 02 million thunderstones” the white bearded old man stared at Luo Feng .
