Chapter 233 Selecting an Assassin (3 words)
After passing through a quiet corridor, the three arrived at a magnificent palace.
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
King Longjue warmly offered the main seat to Chen Yuan, and said to Li Shan who was standing next to him, "Please sit down as well."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Unable to refuse, Chen Yuan took a seat at the head of the table. Once all three were seated, the conversation began to get down to business.
"My last meeting with Your Highness was rushed, and since it was in a virtual universe, there were some things I couldn't say."
King Longjue wore an eager smile. "I said before that I couldn't help much with the purchase of Zerg host bodies, but that's not actually the case."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan understood what King Longjue wanted to say, but still pretended to be curious. "I would like to hear the details."
"That's how it is," King Longjue explained to him in detail the process of selecting Zerg corpses. Sure enough, he mentioned the tricks involved in the "selection" process, which were also mentioned in the original work. The quality of Zerg corpses varied greatly, and the cultivation results from low-quality and high-quality Zerg corpses could differ by several times.
If Chen Yuan were to choose on his own initiative, he would definitely select the batch of high-quality units. However, if the task were left to the staff of the Wulong Star Region to make the selection for him, the selected units would most likely be of average quality.
Choosing excellent Zerg corpses for Chen Yuan was within the scope of King Longjue's authority.
After listening to King Longjue's explanation, Chen Yuan pretended to be thoughtful and asked, "So, when King Longjue said he would help, he meant to work on the quality of the Zerg's bodies?"
"That's right." King Longjue smiled, then took out a large handful of metal tokens and gently held them in front of Chen Yuan with his divine power. "There are 50,000 metal tokens here, each representing a unit of Zerg.
"I have already sorted through this batch of Zerg corpses, and they are mostly of excellent quality."
The Prince explained, "Your Highness can select the 33000 best Zerg corpses from them, and then return the extra metal tokens to me."
"I see, I understand now." Chen Yuan nodded, put away the metal plaques, and smiled. "I am truly grateful for King Longjue's help this time. I am deeply thankful."
"I'm glad it can help Your Highness." King Longjue laughed heartily, then tossed over another item, "Oh, right, there's also this little trinket. Your Highness can play with it if you're interested."
Chen Yuan reached out and took it, discovering it was a world ring with a considerable interior space spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers.
"This is proof of Taobao's access to the garbage mountain."
King Longjue explained the matter of the garbage mountain treasure hunt to him, and the content was basically consistent with Chen Yuan's memory.
"This 'garbage mountain Taobao' project sounds quite interesting."
After listening to the introduction, Chen Yuan stood up with a smile. "Thank you for your explanation, Your Highness. Let's go pay the fees first. I can't wait to choose the goods."
"no problem."
King Longjue also stood up and led the way, saying, "Your Highness, please follow me. The finance department is this way."
A moment later, the three arrived at the finance office.
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, to purchase 33000 units of the corpse of a peak Realm Lord Zerg, you need to pay 3.3 million Hunyuan units."
Chen Yuan nodded and transferred 3.3 million Hunyuan units to his account in the Wulong Starfield via the virtual universe: "It's been transferred. Take a look."
"Transfer received." The golden-haired immortal woman in charge of finances respectfully reported to King Longjue, "Your Majesty, 3.3 million Hunyuan units have been successfully deposited into your account."
"Hmm." King Longjue nodded, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
Clearly, closing a deal worth 3.3 million mixed units was quite rare for him, so he was in a very good mood.
"Your Highness, please come with me. I will take you to the Wulong Star Region."
Chen Yuan nodded and left the Finance Department with Li Shan and Longjue King. Soon after, they boarded a spaceship bearing the logo of the Wulong Star Region.
After three hours of dark space travel, the spaceship finally arrived at an observation point in the Wulong star system.
After returning to their original universe, the spaceship docked in front of a massive palace nearly 10,000 kilometers high. As the hatch opened, the three of them stepped out one by one.
Dozens of people were already waiting outside the cabin door. Upon seeing the three, they immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Greetings, King Longjue."
"Um!"
Prince Long directly instructed, "This gentleman beside me is Prince Chen Yuan. He wants to go in and select goods. Arrange for two guides to accompany him."
"Yes, ma'am."
The group of figures responded in unison, and then two men in white robes flew out and bowed slightly to Chen Yuan: "Your Highness."
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, I have already told you about the taboos concerning the Wulong Star Region on the spaceship."
The Prince smiled and said, "Therefore, Your Highness will not be allowed to enter when you are selecting goods, and two guides will accompany you throughout the process."
"These are all regulations, please forgive us, Your Highness."
"It's alright, I understand your difficulties." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then glanced at the wreckage in the distance, which was so vast it blotted out the sky, and sighed, "Although it's just wreckage, the sheer number of pieces means it must be quite valuable. It's better to be cautious."
"Lishan, you should meditate here. This area is so large, I estimate you won't be able to get out anytime soon."
Li Shan nodded: "Understood, Your Highness. Please take care of yourself while you are alone."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." King Longjue smiled, then said to the two men in white robes, "Please come in with His Highness."
"Yes."
The two men responded respectfully, and then said to Chen Yuan, "Your Highness, please follow us."
"Mm." Chen Yuan nodded, bid farewell to King Longjue and Lishan, and followed the two white-robed guides into a saucer-shaped spaceship.
Next, he will take this spaceship to the location where he will select the goods. As for why he doesn't fly there, given the size of the Wulong Starfield, if he doesn't take the dark universe passage, he could fly for a hundred years and still not reach his destination.
However, if they traveled by spaceship, they arrived at the area where the corpses of the world lord-level insectoids were stored in just a short while.
Leaving the spaceship, one can see, just tens of light-seconds away, an endless pile of Zerg corpses.
At this moment, the two men in white robes said, "Your Highness, please tell us the number on your metal tag."
"This will be troublesome." Chen Yuan took out the 50,000 metal tokens and smiled, "Please take me to inspect all these targets."
"Oh, this."
The two white-robed figures were clearly stunned by the sheer number of metal plaques. One of them sensed them with his World Power and exclaimed in astonishment, "A full fifty thousand metal plaques!"
The two exchanged a glance, clearly understanding what all those metal plaques represented—a transaction worth at least several hundred million. Even as realm lords, they had never seen such a large deal in their lives.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment."
After confirming the number of metal plates, the two became even more enthusiastic. They quickly memorized the numbers on all the metal plates and then used the smart computer to plan a route.
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, the route has been planned. We will take Your Highness flying at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second, which will take about three years."
One of the men in white robes said respectfully.
"Three years," Chen Yuan thought, feeling that this was a bit of a long time. He suddenly asked, "You two are both Realm Lords, right? I remember that Realm Lords can already travel at sub-light speed, so the speed should be more than 100,000 kilometers per hour, right?"
The two men in white robes were taken aback. One of them explained, "That's right. Our peak flight speed can approach the speed of light."
"However, Your Highness is still a Domain Lord level, and I'm afraid you can't withstand such an astonishing speed."
"After all, physical flight is not like traveling in a spaceship, where there is a gravity-canceling device."
"It's alright." Chen Yuan waved his hand. He could now easily fly at near-light speed with his physical body, and even easily surpass the speed of light with time acceleration.
So he said, "You don't need to take me anymore. Let's fly together at sub-light speed. That way, we can see all the cargo in about a year."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, both men in white robes looked surprised, seemingly not expecting that this Domain Lord-level prince would possess such astonishing strength and a flying speed comparable to that of a peak World Lord.
However, they did not question it. They would know whether it was true or not once they flew, so they nodded and said, "Then we will do as Your Highness wishes." The three of them then began to fly at sub-light speed according to the planned route. When they saw that Chen Yuan had indeed kept up with their speed, the two men in white robes were very surprised. They did not expect that this prince could really do it.
This would greatly improve the efficiency of inspection. Even if all the goods were inspected, it would only take less than a year, which they would naturally welcome.
While Chen Yuan was selecting Zerg corpses in the Wulong Starfield, deep in the distant reaches of space, in a magnificent divine kingdom...
A man with a single horn on his head and green skin walked through the kingdom of gods and soon arrived at a temple in the center.
In the center of the spacious temple, only one figure shrouded in a golden robe sat cross-legged alone.
Upon seeing the green-skinned man barge in, the figure in the golden robe raised his head, his gaze falling on the other man: "What is it?"
"Master," the green-skinned man knelt down respectfully, "we just received intelligence that the No. 1 assassin on the assassination list has appeared in the 'Wulong Starfield' and is currently selecting a Zerg host."
"No. 1?" the man in the golden robe asked in a deep voice. "Chen Yuan?"
"Yes." The green-skinned man raised his head. "The area where this person is located is strictly off-limits to immortal gods, meaning there is no immortal power protecting him!"
The green-skinned man's voice was somewhat excited: "Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"You're right, such an opportunity is indeed rare and worth a try."
The man in the golden robe nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "In that case, order Number 6 to take action. Even if it means sacrificing an undercover agent and an immortal, killing NO.1 would be a huge bargain."
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, at an observation point in the Wulong Starfield.
A lean man with black scales covering his head was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the encrypted information that the intelligent computer had just received.
After deciphering the message, the black-scaled man muttered to himself, "An assassination mission?"
"The target is—No. 1, Chen Yuan?"
