Chapter 61: Wealth Growth

"Today, I've gathered everyone because I have a few matters to discuss," Xiao Yu continued, "On this trip to the universe, we obtained some items and resources."

Xiao Yu flipped his right hand, and a black helmet appeared on the table before him.

"Consciousness Sensing Helmet?" some people responded.

"This is a Consciousness Sensing Helmet from the universe; it can connect to the Virtual Cosmic Network," black‑haired man Hong Dao said.

Yesterday he and Lei Shen each obtained two.

"That's right. Through the Consciousness Sensing Helmet, everyone can enter the Virtual Cosmic Network and learn about the universe's state," Xiao Yu said. "I can supply a total of 73 helmets: ten for each of the five major nations, and one for each of the twenty‑three Base Cities."

To accelerate the progress of all humanity on Earth, they must be exposed to the outside world, and entering the Virtual Universe is a good method; this kind of anonymous account can be used by anyone.

"Chairman Xiao, what you are doing is of great significance to Earth. Entering the Virtual Universe is our first, and crucial, step in contacting the cosmos," the black‑skinned president of America said, somewhat excited.

"Additionally, I have two cultivation resources here: Purple Light Dew and Blue Wave Essence. A single small vial of Purple Light Dew can evolve a senior disciple into a Warrior," Xiao Yu continued. "Moreover, the supply of Purple Light Dew is vast enough for every senior disciple worldwide. As soon as a senior disciple is born on Earth, I can provide the corresponding Purple Light Dew."

"Supply worldwide?"

"Heaven's sake."

If every senior disciple worldwide were to ascend to Warrior, the number of Warriors on Earth would certainly exceed one hundred million.

Once they become Warriors, they can begin absorbing cosmic energy and ascend to higher ranks.

"Purple Light Dew—I will first provide seven thousand tons, allocated at one‑tenth of each nation's and Base City's population."

"Seven thousand tons of Purple Light Dew?"

The leaders of the nations all seemed to glimpse humanity's great evolution.

"What about the Blue Wave Essence?" While almost all the leaders were shocked, some kept a cooler head and recalled the other cultivation treasure Chairman Xiao mentioned.

"Blue Wave Essence is used for cultivating Planet-level Warriors; only ten to twenty kilograms can elevate a first‑tier Planet-level Warrior to Stellar-level," Xiao Yu smiled. "As long as one reaches Planet-level—that is, Councilor-level—I will provide five kilograms free of charge; any shortfall must be exchanged for Contribution Value."

"So it's supplied for Planet-level cultivation!"

"Isn't that similar to the Muya Crystal?"

"Contribution Value? How do we obtain it?" Some leaders, who themselves are Planet-level strongmen, began to inquire about matters affecting their own interests.

"As for acquiring Contribution Value, that brings us to the next matter," Xiao Yu continued, waving his hand toward the comforting virtual projection.

The projection shifted to a scene on the Solar System Asteroid Belt.

"When I returned to Earth, I spent a fortune to purchase a Stellar System Defense System that can repel attacks from Universe-level strongmen. The scene you see now is the construction of the Solar System Asteroid Belt. My subordinates and the AI will install nearly five thousand defense‑attack bases throughout the belt; the entire Stellar System Defense System will be completed within six months."

"Additionally, I have acquired several Survival Bases—large ones that can house three hundred million people and smaller ones for a few million. I will have my subordinates place these Survival Bases in the major Base Cities so that, should special circumstances arise, humanity will have a degree of self‑preservation capability."

Xiao Yu's words left the assembled leaders somewhat bewildered.

"What is the Solar System Defense System?"

"What are Survival Bases?"

"What are all these?"

"Furthermore, on each major planet of the Solar System we will place Survival Bases; you may assign people to reside there, travel, and acclimate to various cosmic environments in advance," Xiao Yu explained continuously. "The Solar System Defense System I mentioned is tied to acquiring Contribution Value. Once these defense bases are built, staff will need to be stationed there. Councilor-level strongmen earn one Contribution Point for each year of stationing, and one Contribution Point can be exchanged for one kilogram. Apprentice-level personnel earn 0.1 Contribution Point per year of work, and Contribution Points are non‑transferable."

"All members of my Extreme Martial Arts Hall who are War God-level or above will take turns participating in this work," black‑haired man Hong said.

"All members of my Thunder Martial Arts Hall who are War God-level or above will do the same," Lei Shen added in agreement.

"Thanks to Hong and Lei Shen for their support!" Xiao Yu smiled. "The matters I just described will be handed over to Xiao Wu for management."

A tall black‑skinned beauty pushed the door open and entered—it was Stellar-level Ninth Tier Spiritual Mind Master Xiao Wu.

"Yes, Young Master, I will certainly live up to your great expectations!" Xiao Wu knelt on one knee and replied.

That day, each nation and each Base City reported its population to Xiao Wu and received a certain quota of Purple Light Dew.

Almost simultaneously, sixty global Councilors and three chief Chairmen rushed to Xiao Wu to report their willingness to immediately join the Solar System defense effort.

Each of them received five kilograms of Blue Wave Essence, even Councilor Fa Er, who Xiao Yu had almost killed with a single strike, also obtained some.

The Earth is undergoing earth‑shaking changes, and every nation sees the dawn of humanity's rise.

"Xiao Yi, take two people and eliminate all King-level and above monsters on Earth; hand the monster corpses to Hong for him to handle," Xiao Yu said to the 2.6‑meter‑tall Black‑Mong tribe Spiritual Mind Master before him.

"Yes, Young Master." He smiled, knelt on one knee and replied.

Within the next three days, King-level monsters across Earth's land, sea, and sky virtually vanished, and the hundreds of monster corpses shocked everyone in Hong Ning Base City.

Afternoon of February 25, 2059.

In the Xiao Family annex, inside the leisure room, after feeding the Mo Yun Vine, Xiao Yu reclined half‑lying on the sofa, enjoying a massage from the two Dreamshell Tribe beauties.

Suddenly, a voice named Wu echoed in his mind: "Xiao Yu, two letters from the Cosmic Star River Bank have arrived in the Virtual Universe."

Xiao Yu's spirit jolted, and he quickly rose, waving his hand to dismiss the two Dreamshell Tribe beauties.

"Wu, enter the Virtual Universe," Xiao Yu ordered.

In the next instant, he arrived at his home on Heilongshan Island; Xiao Yu manipulated a control, and a screen appeared before him.

"There are so many emails!" Xiao Yu said, sitting on the sofa and opening the messages.

"Dear valued customer, greetings.

Your consciousness‑linked account with our bank has just received a remittance of 4,855.6 billion Cosmic Coins; your account balance has reached the 20 billion Cosmic Coin threshold, automatically upgrading you to a 'Two-star Rank Account.' You have also become a distinguished Two-star Rank customer of the Cosmic Star River Bank. As a star‑level client, you enjoy many special privileges.

Below this email are lists and explanations of some of those special privileges.

Cosmic Star River Bank

That figure is roughly what Xiao Yu estimated; a Life Fruit, being equivalent to a Realm Lord's life, typically auctions for over twenty trillion Cosmic Coins, so this auction's price isn't very high. A Fifth-tier Primal Force Weapon sells for several hundred billion to several trillion Cosmic Coins, depending on the embedded laws. A Fourth-tier Primal Force Weapon costs nearly a trillion Qiankun Coins—650 units—still less than half the price of a single Fifth-tier Primal Force Weapon.

New author, thank you all for the support!!!!!!
