Chapter 344 Thoughtful
Beep! A screen appeared out of thin air in the living room, displaying a black-armored, two-horned powerhouse about seven or eight meters tall, exuding a powerful aura. Judging from the background, it seemed to be Thunder Island, the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.
"Greetings, Your Highness Suk." However, upon seeing Suk, he bowed respectfully.
"King Menghua, it's been a while. I'm here to ask you for a favor," Suk said with a smile.
"Your Highness, please speak," King Menghua said.
"It's like this, I have some treasures I want to sell..."
After hearing about Su Ke's matter, King Meng Hua was first surprised, then thought for a moment and said cautiously, "A treasure worth hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units? That's a huge sum of money... Most powerful people can't afford it. Hmm, I know some friends, some of whom are in the Hong Alliance. I'll ask them to inquire."
"Alright, here are the details of the treasures I'm selling. I'll send them to you." Suk sent an email directly. "By the way, these treasures... the Virtual Universe Company's acquisition department has set the price at 247 billion Chaos Units."
"247 billion Mixed Yuan Units?" King Menghua clicked his tongue in amazement. He, as a prince, didn't even have that much wealth in his entire fortune. He wondered how Prince Suk had obtained it. He immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Prince Suk, leave this matter to me. I'll inquire for you right away, and we'll have results in two or three days at most. We'll try to sell it for the highest possible price."
After ending the communication, King Menghua also began to look at the detailed information sent by Suk.
"This golden armor looks so familiar. Isn't it the one hanging in Yu Baotang in Hongmeng City? I heard it can weaken physical attacks by more than 90%, and soul attacks by more than 90%! It's incredibly expensive, costing 5 billion Chaos Units. I really don't know where His Highness Su Ke got it from. Tsk tsk..." King Meng Hua was more and more amazed as he looked at it.
He looked on with envy; the golden armor had incredible effects and was perfectly suited to his physique.
King Meng Hua's true form is also seven or eight meters tall, so this golden armor fits him perfectly without him needing to change or adapt.
Unfortunately, even with his wealth, he couldn't afford it.
After sighing, King Menghua did not immediately attend to the task given to him by Suk. Instead, he turned around and flew directly towards the majestic and continuous mountain range of Thunder Island.
Thunder Island in the virtual universe is home to countless immortal gods and powerful beings from the Virtual Universe Company, but they can only live at the foot of the mountain.
On the mountainside of the central mountain range of Thunder Island, the palaces there are the residences of the Cosmic Venerables. Ordinary Immortals are not qualified to fly around on the mountainside at all. Even the servants in the palaces of the Cosmic Venerables can only walk within the palace grounds.
The palace atop the mountain is the residence of the Lord of the Universe, and some extremely powerful cosmic overlords also reside there.
Although the Lord of Brahma Sea Palace was extremely powerful, only slightly inferior to the three top cosmic overlords of the human race, namely the Star Prison Demon Lord, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord, and the Ancestral Tree Venerable, he chose to build his palace on the mountainside in a low-key manner, although the location was relatively close to the top of the mountain.
Soon, King Menghua met his master, the Palace Master of Fanhai, in the palace and told him about Suk's situation.
The stunningly beautiful woman in black robes, seated high on the throne atop a grand hall approximately ten kilometers in height, possessed eyes as bright as stars, yet her voice, aged like a man's, resonated throughout the hall. "I understand. These treasures are all mine."
King Menghua, who was kneeling below, raised his head and looked at his master in surprise.
The Palace Master of Brahma Sea smiled faintly, "Let's set the price at 300 billion Chaos Units. 300 billion is a normal price. But don't say it's me. Just say someone else will buy it."
"I understand," Meng Huawang said respectfully, feeling a slight sense of gratitude in his heart. His master really cared for his junior brother, even getting involved in such matters.
Were these treasures useful to a cosmic overlord like the Lord of Brahma Sea Palace? Of course not. But the Lord of Brahma Sea Palace still bought them, and at a relatively high price. If it weren't for the possibility that Suk might be suspicious, the price might have doubled.
Such meticulous consideration shows great care and effort.
"And..." The black-robed woman on the throne lowered her gaze to King Meng Hua. "Meng Hua, you have followed me for many years, but you have never had any good treasures. This golden armor suits you well, so I will bestow it upon you."
King Meng Hua trembled, then overjoyed, he pressed his head to the ground, his voice filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."
Palace Master Fanhai gave a faint "hmm". "You may leave now. Take care of Junior Brother Su Ke's matter."
"Yes." King Menghua quickly left the main hall and then soon departed from the oppressive black and white palace.
"I'm so glad to receive this reward from my master; it's all thanks to Prince Suk." King Menghua thought to himself, pleased. "However, it's been two or three days since we agreed on a result. Going now would be a bit abrupt. Let's wait a couple more days before speaking to Prince Suk."
Inside the palace, on the throne, the stunningly beautiful woman in black robes was lost in thought.
"My junior brother has so many secrets."
Regarding Su Ke's current high level of intelligence access, after being set by the Chaos City Lord, only the highest level of the Virtual Universe Company and his teacher, the Brahma Sea Palace Master, can directly see some of his information.
"Watching the combat videos of Suk from the military system, I saw that he easily killed a peak-level Marquis, and even killed a peak-level King of the Yan God Clan using that plant life. It seems that my junior brother's experiences are even more amazing than I thought."
He even suspected that the teacher might be secretly giving his junior brother extra lessons.
Otherwise, in just three thousand years of cultivation, a realm lord wouldn't have become this powerful.
Because he was constantly monitoring Su Ke's growth, the Palace Master of the Brahma Sea naturally deduced that... Su Ke had another very powerful and terrifying opportunity. However, with the Palace Master of the Brahma Sea's knowledge, there were many possibilities, but he could not be sure which one it was.
"Hmm?" The woman in black robes on the throne suddenly frowned slightly and reached out to open an email in the void.
Upon seeing the content, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"That old man Tip, is he ever going to stop? Does he really think I have no temper?"
Meanwhile, the eleventh battlefield, the No. 81 barracks base, Suk's residence, is on an island in the middle of a lake.
Suk and Eloi walked side by side on the soft sand, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.
"Hey!" A shout came from afar.
The two turned to look, and on a distant island stood a human immortal powerhouse, dressed in a loose, moon-white robe, his body perfectly smooth and hairless, standing barefoot on the beach. Although the distance was considerable, both could see the sand around the other with their naked eyes. The human, whose head was round like a light bulb, smiled and said, "My name is Aragorn, welcome to be my neighbor."
"Hello, Aragorn, you can call me the Scourge King," Suk said with a smile.
"The Scourge King?" Aragorn, standing in the distance, immediately showed a shocked expression, his eyes widening. "So you're the Scourge King, the one who possesses a plant life form at the pinnacle of the King level?"
Suk habitually used his [Eye of Insight] to scan the area and found that the other party was just an ordinary human King-level Immortal. He then smiled and said, "You've heard of me?"
"I've not just heard of him, he's been incredibly famous lately, his name is legendary," the human immortal Aragorn remarked from afar.
Su Ke raised an eyebrow. He had only been on the battlefield outside the domain for a short twenty-odd years, yet he had already become so famous. He had heard of any king he had ever been granted a title.
"Your news first came from the Zerg Alliance," Aragorn said, looking at him. "The news quickly spread to other factions. Everyone was astonished to hear that a peak-level King had fallen. On the Ice Continent, that's a huge deal. Everyone wanted to know how a peak-level King had fallen, and that's how they learned about you..."
Suk immediately understood what was going on. The four major factions each had their own military communication systems, and different factions were not allowed to communicate with each other. Otherwise, it would be considered a crime of betraying one's faction and ethnicity, and no one would do that.
However, when some weaker ordinary immortals or marquis immortals are talking about it, the detection instruments of other factions may detect the content and thus find out.
This explosive news naturally spread rapidly.
The word spread like wildfire... and soon every faction and alliance knew about a ruthless man called "King of Calamity" who possessed a monstrous plant life form that had reached the pinnacle of kingship.
More than 20 years have passed, and although Suk, the "King of Calamity," has not reappeared, his fame has spread far and wide, surpassing that of many peak-level kings.
That's how it is in the battlefield outside the territory. You may be unknown before, but as long as you have enough amazing achievements, you will soon be known to everyone.
After learning that Suk was the infamous Scourge, Aragorn's attitude became much warmer.
He was enthusiastic towards Suk, but only glanced at Eloi next to Suk before ignoring her. Eloi was not disguised and was just a human realm master. In his eyes, she was probably just a servant or something similar to Suk.
"King of Calamity, I heard you have a powerful Star Lord by your side, where is he?" Aragorn asked.
Suk laughed and said, "It's too big for a place like a military camp to be out here."
Hearing Suk's explanation, Aragorn nodded in understanding. "Although this island covers an area of 1 square kilometer, it's fine for us humans to live there, but those giant alien races certainly don't live there very comfortably." If an immortal god can change his size to make do, then there's nothing that can be done if he is a world lord and doesn't have the ability to change. He usually follows others and stays in his world ring.
"King of Calamity, you've only been here a short time, so you probably don't know many people yet. When the opportunity arises, I'll introduce you to some friends, all of whom are kings like you and me. Perhaps we can even fight together in the future," Aragorn said enthusiastically. "It's a waste for someone as strong as you to stay in a place like the Ice River Continent. In that place, I'd be lucky to kill a hundred or so marquises in a thousand years, and almost all of them would be low-level marquises. Your strength is far superior to mine. The Ice River Continent is only a second-tier combat zone. There are other combat zones with even higher-level powerhouses. That's where we should truly show our strength."
Suk did not refuse.
That's how strong people are; when they want to make friends, they usually do so with those of equal strength. And within military bases, strong people naturally receive special treatment.
Two days later, King Menghua contacted Suk again, saying that he had already contacted a seller to buy all of his spoils in one go, and the buyer offered 300 billion mixed units.
Suk was satisfied with the price and didn't ask any further questions before making the deal.
After the deal was agreed upon, a team from the virtual universe company immediately arrived in Suk to collect the goods.
Goods confirmed!
Suk's account also gained 300 billion mixed units!
There was also an email from the world's number one bank.
"Dear customer, hello."
"Your account, linked to our bank's consciousness, has just received a remittance of 300 billion Mixed Yuan Units. Your account balance has reached the 100 billion Mixed Yuan Unit threshold, automatically upgrading you to a Six-Star customer." You have now become a distinguished Six-Star customer of our Universe's Number One Bank. As a Six-Star customer, you enjoy many special privileges.
This email includes a list and explanation of some special privileges.
"The World's First Bank"
"Haha, I'm a six-star customer now too," Suk said with a laugh.
Elo was already a six-star bank customer, but she inherited her teacher's account.
"Besides these 300 billion mixed units, there are also our combined military merits of over 1000 trillion," Eloi said with a smile.
Suk nodded. Military merits were converted into mixed units. 100 military merits equaled 1 mixed unit, which could be exchanged for 10 billion mixed units.
"That means we have about 400 billion Chaos Units of wealth on us," Suk said with a smile. "Hmm, let's think about how to use this money."
They currently have very few points, but Eloi is a disciple of the Lord of the Universe and possesses many privileges, including the ability to convert Mixed Units into points, although 1 Mixed Unit still equals 1 point.
Points often have greater purchasing power than mixed units.
"Let's buy a more advanced detection instrument," Eloi suggested. "On the battlefield outside the region, I've realized more and more how important a detection instrument is. As for our old one, we can sell it."
"It's time to get a better one," Suk nodded in agreement.
Their detection instruments are passable on the glacial continent, but they are no match for higher-level regions or even some cosmic secret realms.
Because the altitude of the detector determines that the battle is under one's control.
He didn't want to suffer a loss and then have to buy a pill to undo his mistake.
The detectors are mainly divided into two categories.
一种是超大範围,一般是半径1亿公里、3亿公里、10亿公里三种规格。越是高档的,一般就是3亿公里、10亿公里两种规格。
一种是超小範围。一般是半径10公里、20公里、100公里三种规格,高档的,则是20公里、100公里规格更为常见。
Large detectors are used to detect spacecraft and other objects at long distances, making them easier to deploy.
Small detectors are typically used for adventures in secret cosmic realms, where they are easier to probe within a small area. Because of their smaller detection range, they can explore at a higher level.
Their purposes differ: large detectors are used to detect enemies, while miniature detectors are used for self-protection and to detect stronger enemies.
After discussion, Suk and his wife bought a large detector—a device with 60 billion credits and a detection radius of 3 million kilometers.
The price of a small detector is higher than that of a large detector, costing 80 billion credits and with a detection radius of 20 kilometers.
Discounts range from 50% to 100%, with a maximum discount of 40%.
After the discount, these two items cost 84 billion points.
Such advanced detectors are generally only available to those at the highest level of the King realm.
To buy a top-tier kingship, one would probably have to go bankrupt.
The Suk couple were planning ahead and sparing no expense.
