Chapter 140

Zhao Xing blinked.

However, it is indeed reasonable for the lords to give him this nickname.

After all, so many marine lifeforms were poisoned to death.

He originally didn't know about these things and was completely fishing in an exterminating manner.

The King-level Water Demon Mushroom, after his spirit-imbuing, had an incomparably powerful effect.

And with an internal world that can continuously recover, producing toxins in a steady stream, this ocean has already been ruined.

0 ......... ...

In three days, Zhao Xing let the Water Demon Mushroom reabsorb many of the toxins.

But if a transcendent enters, it will still be somewhat dangerous, and for a year or two, this ocean probably won't be able to gestate any life.

"If I occupy it openly, that is sustainable development."

"Forget it, it's already like this," Zhao Xing didn't take it to heart.

Three days later, he put away his units and returned to Planet 107 Space City.

…………

In the virtual world, at a manor.

Yun Duo separated a wisp of consciousness to enter the virtual world.

And at this moment, in the manor, someone was already waiting.

It was exactly the Silver Moon-level lord Mang Dang.

"Marquis Yun."

"Mang Dang."

Yun Duo smiled; this Mang Dang was also a part of his Yun family's power.

When Mang Dang was still weak, the Yun family had invested in him.

And he became the manager of the patrol fleet, holding great power; the Yun family also put in a lot of effort for this lucrative position.

Therefore, Yun Duo and Mang Dang were completely on equal footing.

Even from the form of address, Mang Dang was even more polite.

"Mang Dang, you notified me to enter the virtual world; is it news about Zhao Xing?"

"Yes," Mang Dang said. "He has now broken through to the transcendent level and occupied a 'fourth-class treasure land'."

"In one month, he has been on Planet 107 and earned the nickname of Demon King."

"Oh?" Yun Duo looked at the information sent by Mang Dang, and his face was also extremely colorful. "How long has this kid been here, and he's already broken through to transcendent?"

"And as soon as he broke through, he was so strong? He could occupy a piece of territory by himself."

"Yes, but he has already left that place," Mang Dang said.

"Where did he go?"

"He returned to the space city and went to the 'Lord's Hall'."

"Lord's Hall?" Yun Duo smiled. "It seems he is going to choose a teacher."

…………

In one month, he earned 1.8 billion primary origin crystals.

Zhao Xing naturally couldn't just save them.

Because once origin crystals leave this small world, their magical power will disappear.

After returning to the space city, Zhao Xing came to the 'Lord's Hall'.

"Master, the Lord's Hall has powerful lords stationed there; Star-level, Silver Moon, Sun-level, and even Void-level ones exist!"

"Each one is a hall-level figure within their respective levels; in their respective fields, they are either rich in combat experience or have extremely deep insights into rules."

The Zero-number intelligent lifeform introduced.

"A good teacher will allow a lord to avoid many detours."

Zhao Xing remembered Lord Ryan; he once watched his videos, comprehended [Life Plunder] and [Life Recovery], and even perfected [Jungle Jump] to the high-level rule level.

"My current situation is that my units are strong, but I, the lord, cannot be called strong."

Zhao Xing was very clear about this point.

Those transcendent lords have deep insights into the rules of the internal world.

The combat power amplification coefficient brought to the units is very high.

He has only truly stepped onto the path of a lord for a little over a year.

His background is average, and his parents are only intermediate lords who couldn't teach him at all.

Coming to the Beihe Origin Realm, in many aspects, he is completely a 'newcomer'.

"Exploring on my own is too much of a waste of time, and in the Origin Realm, I only have five years to stay; after that, I have to use military exploits to exchange for entry opportunities."

"Origin crystals can be exchanged for treasures, and can also be used to invite strong people for face-to-face guidance."

"Let's look at the prices first to see what level of lord I can invite to teach me," Zhao Xing began to flip through.

[Star-level lord: 10,000 primary origin crystals/day.]

[Silver Moon-level lord: 100,000 intermediate origin crystals/day.]

[Sun-level lord: 1 million advanced origin crystals/day.]

[Void-level lord: 100 million advanced origin crystals/day.]

"Really expensive."

"A Void-level lord costs 100 million advanced origin crystals!"

After reading the prices of lords at various levels, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, these are all one-on-one teachings and targeted guidance."

"Void-level lords are also very busy; for them, origin crystals are no longer needed. If they are willing to teach, it is entirely because of serving the Empire," Zero-number explained.

"I understand, but I still think it's expensive," Zhao Xing said helplessly.

One hundred million advanced origin crystals; converted into primary origin crystals, that's 1 trillion!

1 trillion, just to have a Void-level lord teach for one day.

And these are starting prices; different lords have different fees.

With Zhao Xing's current 1.8 billion primary origin crystals, he couldn't even afford a Sun-level lord.

Of course, if he had this money, it would be completely worth it.

How sharp is the vision of Sun-level and Void-level lords?

A casual bit of guidance would be of great benefit.

Not to mention one-on-one, face-to-face guidance.

In fact, many lords would likely be willing to go bankrupt just to have a Void-level lord provide guidance for a day.

"If Master thinks it's expensive, there is another way," Zero-number said.

"What way?"

"Strong people come here to teach because of the Empire, so the price is set high."

"But if they are willing to teach themselves, they can charge less or even no tuition fees from students."

Zero-number introduced: "Generally, this is true apprenticeship."

"With Master's potential, if you want to seek apprenticeship, there should be Silver Moon-level or even Sun-level lords willing to teach Master for free."

"As for Void-level, I'm not sure."

Zero-number pondered: "I checked the data; those Void-level ones exist to prevent accidents in the small world, and they almost never take apprentices on their own initiative."

"Apprenticeship?" Zhao Xing stroked his chin.

Indeed, if they come to teach because of the Empire's rules,

Silver Moon-level and Sun-level lords wouldn't teach for free either; they would charge fees.

And the prices are very high.

But if it's apprenticeship, teaching one's own disciple, the motivation is certainly greater.

The master-disciple relationship is a very intimate and important relationship.

This can be seen from the master-disciple relationship between Zhang Zhang Zhang Tianming and Lieutenant Helian Lie.

His senior brother's teacher really thinks of Lieutenant Helian Lie, the proud disciple, in every way.
