Chapter 132 Baren*Funa

The old man put the silver notes from the wooden box into his arms, smiling as he looked at Xu Jingming and Pang Ze, "Transaction successful. If you need to exchange gold and silver for Cosmic currency, or Cosmic currency for gold and silver in the future, you can come to me. My credibility can be checked within the Myriad Realms Group."

"Of course."

Pang Ze suddenly received a notification from outside the Blood Rain World and nodded with a smile, "The transaction on the other side was also successful."

Liu Hai's package was also sold to the other party! The package contained some silver, as well as jewelry. It would be troublesome for Xu Jingming and the others to handle, but it was much simpler for professional personnel to deal with it.

Of course, the jewelry was discounted.

"Happy to do business," the old man nodded, then said, "By the way, I have to say something in advance. Lord Funa has sacrificed 10,000 gold to go to the mysterious land. The length of time he stays in the mysterious land is uncertain, and he will appear in this room after he comes out! Please bear with it."

"It's a small matter," Xu Jingming nodded.

The old man smiled and said, "From what I know of Lord Funa, once he comes out of the mysterious land, under the protection of the Blood Rain World's light, he will probably go offline quickly and leave the Blood Rain World. He won't stay in the Blood Rain World."

"Lord Funa, is that Funa from the Blackfeather Civilization?" Pang Ze asked.

"Yes, that's the one," the old man nodded. "In the Hunter Cosmos Domain, the famous Funa family... is just this one, right?"

Pang Ze nodded in understanding, "No wonder he easily sacrificed 10,000 gold."

"That's nothing."

The old man shook his head, "This Lord Funa mainly focuses on the academic route! He even bought a living planet as his territory, using the science he has studied to transform and build the planet. I heard that the cost of building the planet has exceeded 800 billion Cosmic currency."

"So much?" Xu Jingming's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.

An ordinary living planet costs about 100 billion Cosmic currency.

Building a planet costs so much?

"A living planet that has nothing usually requires large-scale immigration, the construction of cities, and a planetary defense system. These costs are very high," Pang Ze said. "But spending 800 billion... is indeed too extravagant."

"By the way, is this Lord Funa the legendary Baren*Funa?" Pang Ze suddenly thought.

The old man smiled and nodded, "You're well-informed. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he walked out of the house.

"Baren*Funa?" Xu Jingming looked at Pang Ze in confusion. "Who is that?"

"He is a genius scholar from the North Sparrow Star Alliance in the Hunter Cosmos Domain," Pang Ze said. "He is only a little over a hundred years old this year, very young, but his academic level has exceeded level 85. He is a star figure in the Funa family."

"Academic level of at least 85?" Xu Jingming clicked his tongue.

"He's a scientist."

Pang Ze sighed, "The Cosmos Human Alliance values evolvers very much, but also scientists. As long as the academic level reaches 100, even if the body is weak, the Cosmos Human Alliance will use external force to promote such a scholar to 'Source Life,' giving them a more powerful brain and a longer life."

"For the Funa family, using a living planet as this genius's testing ground is very easy," Pang Ze said. "But obviously, this genius scholar is also spending some effort on the path of evolution. It sounds like he has reached the seventh-order Star Domain lifeform, and has even entered the mysterious land to explore opportunities."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"In the cosmos, if an ancestor of some ancient families can reach the tenth order, they will have a lifespan of 100,000 years!" Pang Ze said. "Their long lifespans give them ample time to make their families extremely prosperous. Excellent genetic inheritance is the easiest to cultivate, and will produce batches of talents. The family's unity will become stronger and stronger."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Compared to those long-standing civilizations, the Blue Star civilization has too little foundation, after all, it has just integrated into the cosmic civilization.

"Like me, I only accidentally learned about the opportunity in the mysterious land of the Blood Rain World," Pang Ze said with emotion. "But some major forces in the cosmos knew it long ago, and even require that one must reach the seventh-order Star Domain lifeform before being allowed to sacrifice and go to the mysterious land. Jingming, you'd better reach the seventh-order Star Domain lifeform before going in."

Xu Jingming was taken aback.

"The Funa family requires Baren*Funa to reach the seventh-order Star Domain lifeform before he can enter, there must be a reason for it," Pang Ze said. "We just have to do as they do! Baren*Funa has a very good reputation, his words are trustworthy. Moreover, a person like him doesn't need to lie to us about this."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"How far are you from the seventh order?" Pang Ze asked.

"I'm at more than 70% of the sixth order now," Xu Jingming said. "A few years will definitely be enough to break through! If it's fast, within a year!"

Pang Ze's eyes lit up.

As expected of the number one genius of Blue Star! Pang Ze was stuck in the sixth order, with no hope of breaking through. Xu Jingming had only cultivated the evolutionary method for more than a year, and he was already at more than 70% of the sixth order.

"Your talent on the path of evolution is much stronger than anyone else on Blue Star," Pang Ze was very happy. He felt a strong person growing rapidly, and the future of Blue Star had other companions to help support it.

"By the way, the total revenue from Yicui House's harvest, through online transactions, was 936 million Cosmic currency," Pang Ze said. "I'll send you the contract for the Myriad Realms Group transaction later. After this operation plan is completely over, we'll distribute the gains."

Xu Jingming said happily, "With this sum, we won't lose money at least."

Pang Ze nodded with a smile, "This is the first operation, and the world's targeting is still small! We also ensure that we don't lose money, and even earn a lot. The next key action... will be against Cheng Yanran."

Xu Jingming became serious.

Cheng Yanran, this twisted madman!

Because he told himself deep down that this was a virtual world! So Xu Jingming could calmly accept normal killings, after all, the 'people' who died woke up in reality.

However, the mental torture was too twisted.

Like Zhang Ke, whose entire family was killed, and Zhang Ke, who survived alone, was filled with despair as if he had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell, wishing he were dead. Even if Zhang Ke woke up in reality, it would not be easy to get rid of the influence of mental torture.

After all, it was real emotion formed over decades!

There were many people like Zhang Ke in Xu Jingming's team. Many team members had their entire families killed and died in despair and madness.

As the captain! Even the team members were implicated by him, Xu Jingming couldn't bear it any longer!

"When will the operation take place?" Xu Jingming asked.

"We need to wait for an opportunity," Pang Ze said. "Don't worry, it will be soon."

******

Imperial Capital, Yan Manor.

Cheng Yanran was in a very good mood. He lay there contentedly, with a one-armed woman feeding him fruit.

"Yicui House was actually captured," Cheng Yanran said with emotion. "I can't believe it. Those influential figures were all looted, and the Third Young Master Cheng She of the Duke's Mansion was killed? The family heirloom jade was robbed? Hahaha... Yu Feng must be in a state of panic."

"Your Highness, you shouldn't be gloating like this," the one-armed woman smiled and fed him another piece of fruit.

"I'm sad, sad for the Yan Manor," Cheng Yanran pretended to be sad. "After all, so many guards died, greatly affecting Yicui House's business, hahaha... I can't help it, I can't help it, it's really killing me with laughter."

The one-armed woman smiled.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

"Hmm?" Cheng Yanran glanced outside and frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, Lord Yu is requesting an audience," a voice came from outside.

"Let him in," Cheng Yanran said dismissively.

"Yes."

The subordinate outside retreated.

"Our Lord Yu is here," Cheng Yanran sneered.

The one-armed woman frowned, "He's here, I'm afraid he wants to borrow manpower from the Yan Manor. I heard that nearly two hundred guards were killed in Yicui House last night."

"Borrow manpower?" Cheng Yanran's expression changed slightly, "Is my manpower so easy to borrow?"

The one-armed woman's ears twitched slightly, "He's here."

"Open the door," Cheng Yanran said.

The one-armed woman got up and opened the door.

The golden-robed man in the distance strode over, entered the room directly, saw Cheng Yanran lying on the bamboo chair, and cupped his fist, "Young Master, you must have heard about what happened at Yicui House last night."

"Yeah," Cheng Yanran responded, not even sitting up straight, still lazy.

"Yicui House is the prince's biggest source of wealth in the Imperial Capital," the golden-robed man said solemnly. "We must protect Yicui House and stabilize Yicui House's business. I am now gathering experts everywhere, but the Young Master also knows that the prince doesn't have many people in the Imperial Capital, so I need to transfer some more manpower from the manor."

"Lord Yu, how much manpower do you need?" Cheng Yanran asked.

"Two hundred people," the golden-robed man said.

"Are you dreaming?" Cheng Yanran stared at him, "My Yan Manor only has five hundred people, and you want to transfer two hundred to you?"

"The security forces of Yicui House must be much stronger than before," the golden-robed man said. "Only in this way can customers feel more at ease. Nearly two hundred people died before, so we must add more!"

"Impossible," Cheng Yanran shook his head, "Figure it out yourself."

"Fewer people are fine, but they must be top experts," the golden-robed man frowned slightly, "For example, send more first-rate experts."

"Don't even think about one first-rate expert," Cheng Yanran said decisively.

"Your Highness," the golden-robed man's face darkened, "You know, I have the right to mobilize the Yan Manor's troops."

Cheng Yanran's face was ugly.

"I really don't want to forcibly dispatch them," Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran.

Cheng Yanran was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Ten first-rate experts, ninety second-rate experts, a total of one hundred people. Not one more!"

Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran, smiled, and said, "Okay, then we'll listen to Your Highness."

…

Three days after attacking Yicui House, night fell.

Yicui House was brightly lit with lanterns, still beautiful and magnificent, with beauties dancing gracefully. Many dignitaries still came to the Imperial Capital.

"The business is still so good."

Pang Ze was in an ordinary restaurant box, looking at Yicui House through the window. Xu Jingming, who was sitting opposite him, ate heartily and casually said, "The last time we occupied Yicui House, we only sought wealth and didn't kill customers! The only customer who died was that foolish Third Young Master of the Duke's Mansion. So it didn't cause too much panic among the customers, and Yicui House made up for all the losses of the last customers and greatly strengthened its security forces."

"Strengthened its security forces?" Pang Ze looked over, "The beating the grass to scare the snake operation has begun."

"Has it begun?" Xu Jingming also looked up, gazing at Yicui House through the window.

At this moment—

On the top floor of Yicui House, nine figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, each with a hazy light shrouded around their bodies.

In the underground secret passage of Yicui House, sixteen figures also appeared out of thin air, similarly shrouded in light.

In a room in Yicui House, a famous courtesan was lying down to rest, but two people appeared out of thin air.

…

In remote places within Yicui House, thirty-six people logged in at the same time.

The one hundred second-rate experts who participated in Xu Jingming's last operation were the last to retreat. When retreating, some fled towards the top floor, and some fled towards the underground secret passage. Although most of them fled outside Yicui House, thirty-six people, according to Pang Ze's orders, were in remote places within Yicui House and went offline directly.

According to the rules of the Blood Rain World, as long as no natives saw them, they could go offline.

Three days later!

That is, tonight! These thirty-six people logged in. As soon as they logged in, they appeared inside Yicui House, in the place where they originally went offline.

"Attack!"

These thirty-six people had already received orders. Their online presence was aimed at Yicui House's customers!

Kill one customer upon seeing one! Until they die in battle!

"Beauty—" A customer was walking along the corridor, embracing a famous courtesan, when suddenly two burly men rushed towards them. One held a shield and a battle-axe, and the other held twin blades, scaring the customer and the courtesan into changing color.

"Help!" The customer was terrified. A battle-axe swept past, and blood splattered everywhere.

The two burly men killed the customer and quickly ran to hunt down other customers. They did not waste time on the women.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The external guards of Yicui House were very strict, but there were only a few azure-robed guards and hidden guards inside the building! Facing the thirty-six crazy assassins who suddenly appeared inside the building, Yicui House was obviously caught off guard.

Xu Jingming and Pang Ze both looked at Yicui House from afar through the window. Suddenly, a fire broke out in one of the places in Yicui House, but the fire was extinguished within a few breaths.

The two waited silently.

Pang Ze's consciousness even briefly left the Blood Rain World, waiting for the results of the operation.

"It took a full 2 minutes and 51 seconds for the 36 experts we sent to be killed," Pang Ze's eyes suddenly lit up a little. His consciousness returned to the Blood Rain World, "According to the information sent by these experts, they killed at least 20 customers!"

"These customers are also bold. Yicui House was only attacked three days ago, and they dared to continue to go," Pang Ze laughed. "They can be considered to have died while being romantic among the peonies."

Xu Jingming nodded, "Yan Wang's biggest source of wealth in the Imperial Capital has been affected, he must be very anxious."

"With so many customers dead, Yicui House's business cannot be done in a short time. The more noble their identities, the more they cherish their lives," Pang Ze said. "But Yan Wang's people will definitely not be able to swallow this breath."

******

Inside Yicui House, Yu Feng looked at the corpses of the assassins in front of him, his eyes turning red, "Not seeking money, only killing customers? For this, they don't even want their lives! These are death warriors! Which family sent death warriors, just to ruin my Yicui House's business?"

"Twenty-five customers died, this time the trouble is big," Yu Feng knew that things were not good. Last time he tried to restore Yicui House's business, but this time so many customers died, it was too serious.

"There is a force behind this, targeting Yicui House," Yu Feng's eyes were gloomy and crazy.

…

"Young Master, I need twenty first-rate experts," Yu Feng came to Yan Manor and looked at Cheng Yanran.

"Still need twenty first-rate experts?" Cheng Yanran was furious, "How many first-rate experts does my Yan Manor have in total? You took ten last time, and now you want to take twenty more?"

"Yicui House is ruined," Yu Feng said, "But if we don't find the culprit behind this, the prince's other businesses in the Imperial Capital will also be in danger."

Yicui House is Yan Wang's largest source of wealth in the Imperial Capital, but it is not the only source of wealth.

Yu Feng is Yan Wang's spokesperson in the Imperial Capital, and is the one who truly holds great power.

"To investigate the murderer, we must have enough manpower, and they must be top experts," Yu Feng said. "Twenty first-rate experts will not affect the manor. I know... you also have a group of experts around you."

Cheng Yanran's pupils shrank.

"Will you designate 20 people, or will I choose them?" Yu Feng looked at Cheng Yanran.

"I'll choose!" Cheng Yanran gritted his teeth, "I will inform my father about everything in the Imperial Capital in a letter!"

"Suit yourself," Yu Feng turned around and left.
