Chapter 1406

The group disembarked from the airship and began fighting.

The later the boss, the harder it is to defeat; Old Three not only has many minions, but also many war devices in the distance assisting the battle.

Like sonic weapons, a hit causes dizziness and greatly reduces mobility.

Some large mechs also appeared; though not as strong as Old Two General Muerka's number, they are still decent combat power, and without Xiao Feng's State of Equality of All Beings pulling them, Hum Hum and the others would have died countless times.

Even a 500-level elite team would find it very tough to take on!

But with Xiao Feng present, everything is no problem.

After about half an hour, he cleared all 3,000-plus minions and arrived at the battle zone of Boss Three.

Boss Three is a martial artist with extremely high genetic evolution, level 800, very fast, strong combat power, much harder to deal with than the clumsy mechs.

Yet before Xiao Feng's Soul-Chasing Spear, there is nowhere to hide; one strike instantly kills it.

Next came Boss Four; the group boarded the airship and headed to a desert area to continue the fierce battle.

Old Four's minions are relatively few, but he has a plethora of weapons; occasionally a nuclear missile flies in, dealing hundreds to thousands of billions of damage, with a huge blast radius that cannot be dodged.

An ordinary team would likely be wiped out to the point of doubting life.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng's overwhelming strength allowed him to drag his teammates' levels up with his own HP, then via the "Resurrection" skill and recovery potions, each time they were battered they could be fully restored, forcing a breakthrough.

Fighting deep into the desert, it was still a military base.

However, this time the boss is not a single entity but a group of very powerful robots, each level 600, over twenty in total.

Xiao Feng fears nothing more than a gang fight; a few Source Burst Techniques easily settle the battle.

As the last robot lay dying, it detonated the nuclear warhead buried in the base; a massive blast blew Xiao Feng and the others, caught off guard, into a bloody mess.

Fortunately, they had enough HP to endure.

After looting, they continued on to challenge Boss Five.

Boss Five resides in the capital of Dragon Extinction Star; the opponent to be challenged is the emperor of the Stellar River Empire.

This emperor is accompanied by 30,000 imperial guards.

That is……30,000 minions of levels 450–500.

Such an absurd boss battle was Xiao Feng's first encounter; he kept throwing Source Burst Techniques, taking nearly an hour to wipe them all out.

The final boss, however, was easy; the emperor is only over level 600, with two level-780 guards, and the battle ended in under a minute.

Upon defeating the last monster, the emperor boss uttered a deep curse: "Though I die, the Stellar River Empire's ethnic soul shall never perish. Invaders of the Long Heaven Empire, you shall not die well!"

From the invaders' perspective, Xiao Feng and company actually felt somewhat guilty deep down.

But after all, it's just a dungeon, so there's no need to take it too seriously.

At the moment the dungeon was cleared, the star region announcement rang out across the area; Hum Hum and the others had intentionally named their team 【Purchase Cross-Boundary Teleport Star Gate】 to give Xiao Feng some publicity.

As expected, in this announcement Xiao Feng again appeared as "Unknown Player", showing six people completed the first clear together, but his name was invisible to anyone.

Moreover, he himself did not receive the announcement, only hearing it relayed by teammates.

Everyone exited the dungeon and returned to modern Dragon Extinction Star.

Xiao Feng asked, "Shall we go to the auction house now?"

Hum Hum replied, "No need; the physical auction house fees are too high, we'll go with the online auction—it's cheaper."

"Online auction? You still have this kind of tech here?" Xiao Feng exclaimed, startled.

"Of course, we are a sci‑fi universe!"

Wa Wa laughed, stowing her full-body mech, revealing the appearance of a youthful girl, looking tiny, about the same size as Dun Dun.

She tapped the watch on her wrist, and a virtual screen projected into the air.

"This is the player network of our Stellar River Star Region; anyone can log on. Inside there are forums, shops, an auction house, and many more functions, far more useful than a friend list. However, it must be opened in a safe environment; it cannot be used in wilderness battle zones." Wa Wa introduced.

Upon hearing about all these functions, Xiao Feng instantly felt a pang of envy.

Forums!

The eternal pain of Blue Star players!

They simply lack an built‑in forum; they can only go offline and discuss in reality, and the domestic Blue Star forums often lag, with poor server quality.

Most frustratingly, offline time flows ten times faster than in‑game; after going down to browse the forum for a bit, when they return, several hours have passed, causing huge losses.

Who would have thought the sci‑fi universe also has such a good thing, and can even sync online across planets, like a miniature version of the "Myriad Heavens"—truly enviable.

"First, help the great god search to see if any cross‑boundary teleport star gates are for sale," Hum Hum reminded.

"Okay!"

Wa Wa immediately opened the auction house, entered the keyword, and searched.

Soon, a long list of Star‑Gate items appeared in the goods column.

But these were not what he wanted—cross‑boundary teleport—just some return‑to‑city items or random teleport items.

Wa Wa reversed the sort, first looking at the most expensive.

The result was still a pile of junk Star‑Gates, all with bogus prices.

She had to carefully go through from high to low, page by page.

Xiao Feng watched on the side and asked, "If we buy something online, how long does delivery take?"

"Delivery?" Everyone blinked.

Wa Wa whispered, "Great god, we're playing a game; we don't need everything to be so realistic—buying things across star systems doesn't require courier; after payment, it's sent directly to the backpack via mail, very convenient."

Xiao Feng: ……

Fine.

Another country bumpkin.

The magical world harms people!

Having grown used to the bitterness of the magical and cultivation worlds, he momentarily found it hard to adjust to the sweetness of the sci‑fi world.

Online shopping brings the item to hand instantly—what an experience!

Shopping time is cut by 99%, which is like extending your life!

This is what playing a game is all about!

Buying something means personally running hundreds of thousands of kilometers, even millions, crossing cities, planets, and god nations via transmission—exhausting to death!

Moreover, the seller's transaction fee is outrageously high!

A system where you just go online, search, find what you want, buy and pay, and it's delivered straight to your backpack should be universal across the server!

Really annoying—why only those in the tech world get to enjoy this!

Xiao Feng felt very depressed.

After experiencing the happy life of players in the Di Qiu War Zone, he suddenly didn't want to return.

After bringing Xun Shuang Xianzi back to the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm and settling matters there, he will surely make time to go to the Technology Universe and have a great time!

Never mind that—first open an account, indulge a shopping urge, then talk!

Anyway, he's never short of money; if he ever runs out, he just goes to the resource dungeon to move goods!
