Chapter 011: The Adventurer's Shock
"Owner!"
A moment later, the spaceship's AI, Morty, announced in everyone's ears: "The data has been collected and organized!"
"explain!"
Verus immediately commanded, "What is the strength of the strongest being on this planet?"
Upon hearing Verus's words, all the other adventurers on the spaceship perked up their ears.
Because if the adventurers on this inhabited planet are much stronger than them, the benefits they can obtain will be greatly reduced.
"This planet is called 'Xuanhuang Star' by the indigenous people living on it!"
The spaceship's AI, Morty, quickly spoke up: "The native inhabitants of Xuanhuang Star are mainly humans and demonic beasts. The humans occupy the habitable continents, with a total population of over five billion. Among them, there are approximately fifty million apprentice-level martial artists, over two thousand planetary-level martial artists, and not a single constant-level martial artist!"
Upon hearing this, all members of the adventurer team showed excitement on their faces.
"Hahaha, we've struck it rich this time!"
"Yes, not even a single star level. This native planet has absolutely no chance of resisting us!"
For a moment, all the adventurers were extremely excited.
It should be noted that their team has been adventuring in the universe for over two thousand years. Although some have perished due to danger during this time, those who remain are undoubtedly the elite of the elite. Even the weakest one has already cultivated to the sixth level of the Hengxing Star.
A life-bearing planet without even a star system is naturally powerless against them.
"Boss!"
Just as everyone was raising their glasses in celebration, one member of the adventurer's party quickly turned to Verus and asked, "What are your plans for this inhabited planet?"
"Of course, I'll report it to the family after I've conquered this life-bearing planet!"
Verus quickly spoke up, saying, "The reward for reporting to the family is far greater than if we directly informed the Golden Lion Empire and the Purple River Empire!"
It's important to know that major civilizations throughout the universe offer many generous benefits to adventurers who discover new planets.
For example, after discovering a planet, even reporting it directly to the Empire can earn a huge reward.
For example, the Zichuan Empire, a primitive civilization, would directly reward 10 trillion Zichuan coins;
The Golden Lion Empire, a mid-level civilization, will directly reward 10 billion Golden Lion coins.
Although in the official exchange, 10 billion Golden Lion Coins can only be exchanged for 10 trillion Purple River Coins, 10 trillion Purple River Coins cannot be exchanged for Golden Lion Coins through official channels; they can only be exchanged through the black market.
Therefore, in the black market, 10 billion Golden Lion Coins can definitely be exchanged for more Zichuan Coins.
It's not that the Zichuan Empire is unwilling to give adventurers more rewards, but rather that as a vassal state of the Golden Lion Empire, the Zichuan Empire simply cannot offer adventurers higher rewards than the Golden Lion Empire.
Therefore, adventurers are generally more willing to report information about new inhabited planets to the Golden Lion Empire after discovering them.
Of course, this only applies to adventurer teams that have no background and not much wealth.
Some incredibly wealthy adventurer teams, upon discovering a new inhabited planet, are perfectly capable of purchasing it at an extremely low price and gaining recognition from the Golden Lion Empire.
For example, the discoverer of a life-bearing planet worth one trillion gold lion coins only needs to spend three hundred billion gold lion coins to gain the recognition of the Golden Lion Empire and become the lord of this life-bearing planet.
If the discoverer is willing to cooperate with the Golden Lion Empire to manage the planet, a life-bearing planet worth one trillion Golden Lion coins will only need to pay one hundred billion Golden Lion coins to gain the Golden Lion Empire's recognition and protection. Moreover, the Golden Lion Empire will not interfere with the planet's internal management, but will only collect import and export tariffs!
Even if adventurers don't have enough wealth, they can still share information about the life-bearing planet with other factions, and the rewards they receive will far exceed 10 billion gold lion coins.
However, doing so also carries great risks. If the forces that learn of the news break their promise and refuse to provide the rewards, these adventurers will end up with nothing and may even encounter danger.
Of course, Verus and his group didn't need to worry about this happening.
After all, there is a super strong person in Verus’s family who has reached the cosmic level. As long as they report the news of this life-bearing planet to the family behind Verus, they will definitely be able to get a reward far exceeding 10 billion gold lion coins.
"Boss, actually I have an idea!"
The adventurer team member who had spoken earlier quickly added, "We can inform the 'White Dragon Society' about this inhabited planet; they've always been willing to pay a high price to buy inhabited planets!"
"The White Dragon Society?" Verus was slightly taken aback.
The White Dragon Society is a slave organization that spans dozens of elementary civilizations. Its leaders are several great domain lord-level powerhouses, and the White Dragon Society even sells cosmic-level slaves!
"That's right!"
The adventurer's party member quickly spoke up, "I remember last time, boss, you reported that newly discovered inhabited planet to the family, and we only received a bounty of 30 billion gold lion coins. But that inhabited planet is worth a full 1.5 trillion gold lion coins!"
"If we had sold that life-bearing planet to the White Dragon Society back then, they would have offered a staggering 60 billion gold lion coins!"
"You need to be alive to spend the money you earn!"
After hearing what the adventurer's party member said, Enstein quickly interjected, "The White Dragon Society is too dangerous! Our safety is not guaranteed at all if we trade with them!"
"Once we trade the planet to them, they might go back on their word and send people to hunt us down!"
"No way!"
The adventurer's party member quickly added, "I met a manager of the White Dragon Society in our Zichuan Empire back on the Imperial Capital Star. He told me that if we were willing to hand over the life-bearing planet we discovered to the White Dragon Society, we would definitely receive a huge reward!"
"Wouldn't handing this life-bearing planet over to the White Dragon Society be too cruel to the humans on it?"
Miguel quickly interjected, "You know, the White Dragon Society has always been extremely cruel to the life forms on its inhabited planets, all in order to cultivate more high-quality slaves!"
"Once we hand over this life-bearing planet to the White Dragon Society, the local inhabitants will never have a chance to rise again!"
"What does that have to do with us?"
The adventurer team member who had suggested handing the life-bearing planet over to the White Dragon Society spoke up again, saying, "What we need anyway is wealth, and the White Dragon Society has given us plenty. Why can't we hand this life-bearing planet over to them?"
"alright!"
Just as the members of the adventurer team were expressing their opinions, Verus, the leader, quickly interrupted them: "How to deal with this inhabited planet depends on the results of our subsequent exploration!"
"Yes, boss!"
After hearing what Verus said, the other members of the adventurer's party spoke up one after another.
But just then, the spaceship's AI, Morty, suddenly reminded him, "Captain, there's a combat video you absolutely must watch!"
"Oh?"
Verus downed his drink in one gulp, then casually asked, "What combat video?"
"The strongest person on this Xuanhuang Star is named 'Lu Qingshan'!"
The spaceship's AI, Morty, quickly displayed a video on the large screen at the front of the ship and then said, "This is a video of Lu Qingshan and other planetary natives on Xuanhuang Star besieging a monster not long ago!"
Upon hearing this, Verus and the rest of the adventurer party quickly watched the video.
But the moment they saw the Monkey King, they were stunned.
"This is……"
Enstein, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "A black, one-eyed creature with fascia-like fleshy wings—this is the Ziqian Wansi!"
"Oh my god!"
"It's actually the Ziqian Wanshe! That's a powerful bloodline of the demon race! How could it possibly be here?"
"Boss, we've really struck it rich this time!"
"Yes! A living Ziqian Wansi (a type of serpent) must be worth at least hundreds of billions of gold lion coins!"
"With this Thousand-Headed Serpent, we could practically buy this entire inhabited planet!"
Upon hearing Enstein's words, the rest of the adventurer's party couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
It should be known that if a Ziqian Wanshe (a type of serpent) has enough resources to be nurtured, it is almost certain to break through to the cosmic level!
Even a seedling of the Moyun Vine is worth hundreds of billions of gold lion coins, let alone a living Ziqian Wanshe!
While the other members were focused on Ziqian Wanshe, Verus put all his attention on Lu Qingshan, who was fighting against the Monkey King in the video!
"A domain, it's actually a domain?"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan unleash his domain, Verus's face was filled with disbelief: "How could a mere planetary-level martial artist, born on such a primitive planet, possibly reach the domain realm?"
As an important member of a family of cosmic-level powerhouses (who made a great contribution to the family by discovering a life-bearing planet), Verus can be said to have a lot of information about the universe.
It should be noted that even among cosmic-level powerhouses, there are many who have not yet reached the Domain Realm, such as the ancestor of Verus's family.
Those who possess a domain-level powerhouse are almost always the best of their kind.
As for those at the Eternal Star level who possess a domain, they are absolutely super geniuses among Eternal Star level beings.
But now, he has discovered a super genius who has entered the realm of domains at the planetary level and is countless times more dazzling than those geniuses at the celestial level!
