Chapter 599: Crisis and Purchasing Starfighters (Please vote for monthly tickets)

Everyone revealed smiles and said:

"What a heaven-sent opportunity, giving us a chance!"

"The value of the trial planet is too great; if I obtain some heavenly treasure or hunt a Level 10 monster, I might be able to break through to the Cosmic Second Realm!"

"By then, some civilizations might help me clear my status as a wanted criminal."

"I have been stifled for a long time; this time, going to the Blue Star civilization, I must vent properly!"

"You idiot, do you think the Blue Star civilization and the inspection team are fools?"

"The members of the inspection team, the weakest have Void-Flying Realm strength, are all geniuses of various civilizations, and the inspectors are even existences of the Cosmic Second Realm."

"If you want to die, don't drag me with you!"

Everyone discussed heatedly, and the entire hall was filled with noisy sounds.

The burly man with green skin couldn't help but shake his head upon seeing this; they were all a bunch of rabble.

This trip to the Blue Star civilization was an opportunity for them, the cosmic wanted criminals.

But only a few would be able to survive; most people were just cannon fodder.

He clenched his fists; he was a Cosmic Second Realm martial artist, and even when facing an inspector, he had the confidence to escape.

This trip to the Blue Star civilization, he would be the final winner.

In the vast universe, in a certain corner outside the human territory.

A green life-bearing planet was shrouded by a massive, dark-red, scorching sphere that blotted out the sky and sun, descending upon the planet.

Countless black waves wrapped around and swallowed the entire planet.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the entire planet turned gray, completely losing all vitality, and all life was swallowed.

"Boom boom!!"

The black waves dispersed, turning into countless Zerg warriors with human body outlines; they were burly, possessed fierce auras, and were warriors with Void-Flying Realm, or even Cosmic Second Realm, or even stronger strength.

In the center of the planet, inside the dark-red Zerg nest, a mother emperor with the appearance of a beautiful human woman looked satisfied, accepting a massive amount of life.

The aura on her body became increasingly fierce.

"Shoo!!"

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the starry sky; an invisible beam of light shot into her consciousness.

A massive amount of information emerged, and the mother emperor's expression became sorrowful, speaking in the Zerg language:

"Terra, my sister, tens of millions of years have passed, and finally there is news of you!"

"I never thought you would die at the hands of a group of ants!"

"Blue Star civilization, Holy Blood, Creation..."

"So that's how it is; the Blue Star civilization actually hides such creation!"

"If we swallow the entire Blue Star civilization, all the creation will be mine, and my potential will see an unimaginable improvement!"

"I will have the opportunity to become the supreme existence of the Zerg!"

Her body and mind were unprecedentedly excited, and her brain operated rapidly; she did not intend to share this matter with others, as this was her own creation.

A moment later, she frowned:

"Lieyang Star Domain, Lost Star System..."

"The distance is too far, and the source energy is thin; wanting to rush over will take quite some time!"

"Recently, the human race and our Zerg race have been erupting into local wars; I need to be careful!"

"Boom!!"

Thinking of this, the massive dark-red Zerg mother nest started up, setting off endless space ripples, rushing out of the planet and driving toward the destination.

The surrounding meteorites, upon contacting the nest, were hit by the scorching energy and instantly exploded.

The planet she left behind rapidly disintegrated, turning into cosmic garbage.

After the Fire Seed Trial, the people of Blue Star all felt that the entire planet had undergone a drastic change.

On the fifth day after the Fire Seed Trial ended, the officials of every country in the world announced the formation of the Blue Star Alliance.

All countries formed a new force—the Blue Star Society.

At the same time, there was no longer any talk of countries.

They would adopt the term "District," such as Xia Guo District, White Eagle District, Mao Xiong District...

However, most people did not adapt, still using the term "country," which caused this regulation to exist in name only, and the high-level officials also canceled this regulation.

After forming the Blue Star Alliance, the Blue Star Society continued to issue a large number of regulations, formed a large number of new companies, and announced that they would conduct exchanges and trade with the Flowing Blade civilization.

A large number of countries and groups also announced their participation.

Subsequently, new scientific technologies were announced every day, and national welfare benefits were significantly improved.

Among them, the most critical was the Evolution Serum; half a month later, it completely ignited the entire Blue Star.

"I never thought there would be a serum for 100% awakening; where can I buy it?"

"If my son bought it, wouldn't he be able to become an S-level genius immediately!"

"The price of one bottle is currently 50 million Xia Guo currency, but it is said that the price will drop later!"

"By then, everyone will be able to afford it!"

"But if the number of awakened geniuses increases, they won't be worth much!"

"But it's a good thing for our Blue Star!"

People were discussing the Evolution Serum everywhere, and ordinary people also felt the general trend of the era rolling forward.

The Blue Star civilization seemed to have entered the fast lane, galloping forward, rising rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Beijiang Province, outside the magnificent Black Dragon Base!

"Boom!!"

"Roar~"

On the vast scorched earth, disaster beasts rushed out of the massive space gate one after another.

Like black waves, they swept toward the base.

Intense red laser cannons fired, and countless high-level beasts had their bodies pierced instantly.

"Roar~"

"Boom!"

The massive bodies of the high-level disaster beasts crashed to the ground and died.

Some martial artists saw this and couldn't help but sigh:

"Is this the brand-new laser cannon? Its power has increased several times; even high-level disaster beasts can't withstand it."

"Killing them like this, the high-level disaster beasts will be wiped out by the military; in the future, it might take two or three hours, or even longer, for the space gate to close."

"And in the last few days, the Awakening Serum has been upgraded, and the price has dropped significantly; our base already has tens of thousands of martial artists who have successfully awakened special abilities."

"The number of martial artists possessing special abilities is also increasing more and more."

"Now it's causing the number of disaster beasts to not be enough!"

"We must let the space gate open for a longer time."

Some martial artists discussed, because of the crazy slaughter on the front line, only a few disaster beasts rushed out.

One kilometer in front of the space gate, high-level disaster beasts rushed out one after another.

A golden figure, like lightning, brandished a great spear, continuously piercing the rushing disaster beasts.

"Puff puff puff!!"

"Roar~"

Blood sprayed wildly, and the massive bodies of the disaster beasts crashed to the ground!

Merit Points +500,000!

Merit Points +200,000!

Merit Points +700,000!

Level 8 disaster beasts were like chicks, being slaughtered crazily by him!

He could easily kill a Level 8 disaster beast with one move.

Four hours later.

"Boom!!"

The massive space gate closed completely, and Lin Qi, wearing black-gold combat armor and brandishing a great spear, also stopped.

Not far away, Jiang Tao, wearing silver combat armor, also walked over and said:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, now that the number of awakened martial artists has increased, the number of disaster beasts is not enough."

"And you, you freak, your speed at killing Level 8 disaster beasts is even faster than the speed at which they rush out."

"The space gate has been open for four hours now, and it's actually not enough to kill!"

"If we keep killing like this, I'm afraid in a few years, the disaster beasts will all be killed off!"

Lin Qi shook his head and said:

"The other world is 35,000 times the size of our Blue Star; the disaster beasts we've killed over a few decades are not even 1%."

"The most critical thing is that disaster beasts are cannon fodder manufactured by the demon race, and their reproductive ability is extremely strong!"

"It's enough for us to kill for a few hundred years!"

Jiang Tao nodded: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, you're right!"

"In the future, we humans will probably have to take the initiative to open the space gate and lure more disaster beasts over!"

"This time, we humans want to turn from passive to active!"

Lin Qi continued slowly.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, a month is almost over; when will we enter the cosmic virtual network?"

"I heard that most of the Ninth Realm martial artists of Blue Star have already been inside for a month."

"However, in the cosmic virtual network, you need to spend Deep Space Coins, so everyone went to find Senior Red Emperor to exchange for a batch."

"I want to go in too!"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this and turned around:

"The disaster beast tide is almost over; we should go back too."

"In these two days, let's prepare to enter the cosmic virtual network!"

"No problem!"

Jiang Tao nodded excitedly, and the two of them returned to the base together with Lin Qi.

Room 206.

"Buzz!"

The door opened, and Lin Qi entered the living room, taking off the black-gold combat armor on his body.

Xiao Chan, who had turned into a physical entity, took the combat armor to wash it.

He himself entered the bathroom to take a shower.

"Buzz!"

A moment later, Lin Qi, who had changed into a clean black martial arts suit, walked out and sat cross-legged in the martial arts room.

He opened the War Home projection.

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Eighth Realm Aperture-Refining】

【Merit Points: 60 million!】

【Base Ranking: 1】

【Xia Guo Ranking: 1】

【Blue Star Ranking: 1】

Lin Qi looked at his Merit Points and immediately revealed a smile.

"In a month's time, I've finally saved up enough Merit Points, and I can afford to buy a Falcon-class starfighter!"

Over the past month, he had stayed at the Black Dragon Base, often hunting disaster beasts, while ensuring his own cultivation.

He started saving Merit Points just to buy a Falcon-class starfighter.

With something better, he didn't even look at the Peregrine-class starfighter anymore.

Thinking of this, he started to exchange.

【Item: Falcon-class starfighter】

【Merit Points: 50 million/unit】

【Beep!】

【Fingerprint verification successful; you have paid 50 million Merit Points!】

After payment, Lin Qi let out a breath.

50 million Merit Points looked like a lot, but compared to 50,000 Deep Space Coins, it was clearly much less.

And now he hadn't entered the cosmic virtual network yet, so this sum of Deep Space Coins was likely still in his account.

As a month passed, the Ninth Realm martial artists of the entire Blue Star began to enter the cosmic virtual network one after another.

Everyone discovered the importance of Deep Space Coins.

No matter what they wanted to do, they needed Deep Space Coins; Ninth Realm martial artists who wanted to improve their realm had to earn Deep Space Coins.

So the 50,000 Deep Space Coins Lin Qi currently had on him appeared exceptionally precious.

"Beep!"

Just as he was thinking, someone sent a message in the War Home backend.

The merchant made an appointment with him to deliver the Falcon-class starfighter to the Black Dragon Base within tomorrow.

"Phew!"

Then, Lin Qi took out a metal box from his space bracelet and opened it.

Inside was a serum containing blue liquid—Aperture-Opening Fluid!

"The first two times I took it, I successfully opened 10 apertures; I wonder how many I can open this time?"

"Gulp~"

Lin Qi drank the Aperture-Opening Fluid in one gulp.

Now that a month had passed, it was time to take the Aperture-Opening Fluid.

Open more apertures, then enter the virtual world.

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

The temperature in the air rose rapidly; in a moment, white heat was radiating from Lin Qi's body.

"Swish swish!!"

Under the effect of the Aperture-Opening Fluid, the heavy blood, like mercury, was pumped to all parts of the body by the heart.

The Aperture-Opening Fluid began to take effect; Lin Qi was too familiar with this feeling. Hundreds of strands of mental power were woven into a net, guiding the blood, which was like a raging wave, to impact the apertures in his body.

"Buzz buzz!"

In his body, 71 apertures emerged; within this month, he had opened another aperture.

As he broke through to open 70 apertures, the difficulty of opening each aperture increased.

Like the Xia Guo, there were only 12 Ninth Realm martial artists who had opened more than 72 apertures.

Most chose to break through to the Ninth Realm after reaching the limit of their bodies.

And his goal was to open 108 apertures; now, he was still 37 apertures away from his goal.

"Boom!"

He felt his liver area; an intense stinging pain emerged, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.

He had long since forged an iron-like will; he could already endure this bit of pain.

"Boom!!"

Thus, he continuously guided his blood and launched an impact; an hour later, he only felt his whole body relax, and a warm current surged out from the aperture.

It instantly connected to all parts of his body, his internal organs began to undergo metamorphosis, and at the same time, his physical strength began to improve.

He didn't stop and continued to impact.

Two hours later, he successfully opened the 73rd aperture!

Three hours later, he successfully opened the 74th aperture.

Five hours later, he successfully opened the 75th aperture.

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura was released from Lin Qi's body; the white heat around his body was instantly blown away, and a dazzling golden light was released from his body.

All the apertures in his liver were opened; as his mental power delved deep into his body, 75 vortexes emerged, connected to each other.

His blood washed his body, and his body cells began to undergo metamorphosis.

The apertures connected to heaven and earth, and his connection with the power of heaven and earth began to become close; he seemed to be able to feel the power of heaven and earth.

Bursts of warm currents surged out from his body, especially in the liver area, which kept heating up; because the apertures were opened, his liver function also significantly improved.

The apertures corresponding to the body parts were opened; besides the metamorphosis of the whole body, the corresponding organs improved the most.

Clenching his fists and feeling the surging power, he had become stronger once again.

【You took the Aperture-Opening Fluid and successfully opened 4 apertures, totaling 75 apertures opened; your physical strength has significantly improved, Blood Value +1200】

【Blood Value: 31300→32500】

Lin Qi slowly stood up and looked at the information on the panel.

Now, he was getting closer and closer to a Blood Value of 40,000.

"It's a pity that the effect of the Aperture-Opening Fluid is getting weaker and weaker; now it can only open 4 apertures."

"If I take a few more bottles, it might not have any effect!"

Lin Qi let out a breath; the effect of the Aperture-Opening Fluid was truly strong.

Without this serum, if he wanted to open an aperture, it might take a month, or it might take two or three years to open 108 apertures and break through to the Ninth Realm.

By then, he would be at most 24 years old, and he would likely break the historical record and become the youngest Ninth Realm martial artist.

And the Red Emperor started cultivating at 18 and only broke through to the Ninth Realm at around 30, becoming the Red Emperor.

The age at which others broke through to the Ninth Realm was even older.

Like Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, their talent was not as good as his, and they would likely break through to the Ninth Realm at around 26.

And geniuses like Augustus, Andrei, and Ajay were at least 28 at their youngest.

Even if he cultivated step by step, he was the fastest to break through to the Ninth Realm.

But he was not satisfied.

He wanted to become stronger.

On the surface, their Blue Star was peaceful and thriving.

But beneath the surface, a large number of crises were hidden.

He had not forgotten the reason why they, Blue Star, took the initiative to make contact with the universe.

The Zerg crisis was like a Sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's heads.

A Zerg mother emperor, upon reaching adulthood, was an existence of the Cosmic Second Realm; if she cultivated hard, the Cosmic Third Realm would not be difficult.

Once she attacked their Blue Star, no one would be able to resist.

Cosmic Second Realm, there was still a way.

Cosmic Third Realm, that was a dimensionality-reduction strike; even with the addition of the cosmic inspection team, it would be a drop in the bucket.

And the Zerg territory was quite far from their Milky Way, and it would take quite some time to arrive at Blue Star.

They needed to seize the time to cultivate, become more powerful, earn more money, and purchase more high-tech weapons.

The Zerg was a distant crisis; a near crisis was the cosmic wanted criminals. According to Inspector Tu Lan, in a month's time, some might have already entered the Milky Way.

They would soon arrive at the solar system; once they sneaked into Earth, everyone would be in danger.

Because among the cosmic wanted criminals, there were not a few in the Void-Flying Realm, and there were even quite a few in the Cosmic Second Realm.

Once they entered Blue Star, it was equivalent to a stranger with a knife entering your home; you couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't harm your life.

And the other party was still a wanted criminal, so it was even more dangerous.

No matter from which aspect, he had to improve his strength.

Once he broke through to the Void-Flying Realm, his combat power would improve significantly.

Even against an existence of the Cosmic Second Realm, it was not that he wouldn't have the ability to resist.

The next day, in the living room of Room 206.

In front of Lin Qi, who was wearing a martial arts suit, a large green screen was projected.

Opposite him was his father, Lin Zhen, wearing a suit, and his uncle, Fang Zhe, who had an elegant temperament.

Now, both of them had undergone a metamorphosis and had the temperament of successful people.

Lin Zhen smiled and said:

"Little Qi, now that the Flowing Blade civilization's team is about to arrive, the company of your uncle and me is cooperating with Xu Changfeng to do business in disaster beast flesh."

"And the Xu family intends to let us participate in the mineral business as well."

Lin Qi nodded: "Dad, go ahead!"

It was good that his father and uncle had something to do, and their Lin family also had to have their own industry.

Otherwise, relying solely on himself wouldn't work.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi glanced at the information on his phone.

"The starfighter has arrived!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi revealed a joyful expression.

He got up and went out, arriving at the airport of the Black Dragon Base.

"Boom!!"

Only to see in the sky, a massive shadow shrouded the sky, and accompanied by a roaring sound, a silver flying-saucer-shaped starfighter slowly descended.

Following behind it was a red Peregrine-class starfighter.

"Buzz!!"

The door of the silver Falcon-class starfighter slid open silently, and a beautiful figure was the first to walk out.

A tall figure, a cold temperament, exquisite features—the sister of the top-tier genius Qin Shuang, the special envoy—Qin Yue.

Seeing the person who had arrived, Lin Qi was surprised:

"Sister Qin Yue, why are you the one delivering the starfighter?"

Qin Yue, wearing blue combat armor, smiled:

"All the Falcon-class starfighters on Blue Star are produced in the Mansion Master's factory."

"You are our Blue Star's second genius; it is only right that I deliver the goods personally."
