“Oh my God, big brother, this is absolutely luxurious.”
Ling’er’s hand, white as jade, gently caressed the spaceship, expressing astonishment.
She knew that the material used to construct this spaceship was called a Perpetual Crystal. She had once seen the bar owner gift his girlfriend a Perpetual Crystal necklace, whom she cherished like a treasure, flaunting it at every opportunity.
The necklace was worth a billion, and its radiant aura was indeed irresistible to a girl.
Being a girl herself, Ling’er found beautiful things appealing and had indeed felt envy before.
But she had never even dared to dream that someone would construct a spaceship out of such material!
The casual “brother” she had just acknowledged was actually wealthy to this extent!
She couldn’t estimate the exact worth of this spaceship, only knew that it must be incredibly expensive, costing an astronomical amount.
Lin Zhen watched Ling’er, who was looking around the spaceship with admiration. She was an adorable girl; the unique genes of the Elf Clan made her incomparably beautiful.
Lin Zhen couldn’t intervene in every injustice, but he was willing to lend a hand to those he had a good impression of.
After Ling’er had looked around for a while, she returned to Lin Zhen’s side. “Brother, your spaceship is great, but it lacks vitality. It would be nice to decorate it with some flowers and vegetation.”
“You can arrange it to your liking, Ling’er.”
“Really? Can I really do that?” Ling’er opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“Why not? It’s just a spaceship after all.” Lin Zhen replied with a smile.
“Ah! Thank you big brother!”
Ling’er energetically hugged Lin Zhen’s neck, laughing like a child.
Laughing too, Lin Zhen gently pushed Ling’er away. It wasn’t that he didn’t like her, but rather that this incarnation of his had its limitations.
While Ling’er was a beautiful girl, and even though he didn’t start with any particular intentions, him being a man naturally lead to growing fond of her. Since he was developing feelings, he couldn’t just let anyone touch her, not even his other incarnation.
Ling’er felt a little wronged when she was pushed away, her large eyes revealed her unhappiness and she did not speak anymore, sulking off to one side.
Helplessly, Lin Zhen had to tell her that this was just another incarnation of his. This caused Ling’er to burst into giggles, her eyes full of playful banter as if to say that Lin Zhen was being overly cautious.
However, she understood the boundaries, and didn’t have too intimate contact with Lin Zhen’s incarnation again.
The spaceship entered the parallel universe, hurrying towards Hills Star.
“Sir, the price of our Mysterious Iron Essence is undoubtedly fair. Each gram sells for five hundred, and you won’t find a lower price anywhere in the Hills Star.”
“Oh, are you that sure?”
“Heh heh, to tell the truth, sir, we receive our goods directly from the resource stars, and we also have contacts within the mining group. This eliminates many middle steps, lowering the cost and in turn the selling price, so I’m confident saying so. How much are you considering, sir?”
“If I buy a lot, can it be cheaper?”
“If it’s indeed a large quantity, we can negotiate.”
Lin Zhen calculated. His main body carries the gene of a Black Hole Beast. To advance, in addition to cultivation, he needs a large amount of energy-rich metal, the absorption of internal energy transforms Star Power to make a breakthrough.
Chris had already made a list of metals that Lin Zhen needs to absorb, he needs to start absorbing from the lowest-level, Mysterious Iron Essence, a first trial of ten tons.
Five hundred per gram makes it five hundred thousand per kilogram, five billion per ton, and fifty billion for ten tons.
After some consideration, Lin Zhen said: “I offer four hundred per gram, I will take ten tons at one go. If the effect is good, I will buy in bulk.”
The metals merchant was taken aback, [he] hadn’t expected Lin Zhen to make such a big move and bargain so ruthlessly.
After calculating the profit, although the profit wasn’t great, the quantity was huge. In order to secure Lin Zhen as a big client, he made the concession: “Deal! But it has to be cash.”
“Of course, I can transfer the amount to you right now, you prepare the Mysterious Iron Essence.”
The transaction was quickly settled. The warehouse of these metal merchants are their Space Rings, each ring can hold an infinite amount of metal, and he had a total of ten rings in his hand.

He transferred over forty billion in cash and received ten tons of Mysterious Iron Essence.
Lin Zhen bought a large detached mansion in the Hills Star. It isn’t exactly luxurious, but it was huge, covering a radius of ten miles, just so he wouldn’t be disturbed.
Inside the villa, he placed ten tons of Mysterious Iron Essence in the yard and then sat on top of it.
His current realm was stable at the Meteor Level 6 Peak, and he wanted to try for a breakthrough.
Ten tons may sound like a lot, but in reality, it is only a small pile, just like a box stacked up.
Sitting there, Lin Zhen began to feel an intense feeling of hunger.
Not for food, but with desire to consume the pile of metal!
Sitting there, his body involuntarily began to grow black scales.
His clothes burst apart easily and Lin Zhen transformed into a creature resembling a black Kylin.
The Black Hole Beast was about to feed!
A terrifying aura began to permeate around him. Lin Zhen’s mind was immersed, and a point of light started to flicker above his head.
That was the Naked Singularity, the birthplace of a black hole!
After the appearance of the Naked Singularity, the surrounding black rays of light began to flash. Space started to collapse and rotate automatically, creating a human-made miniature black hole.
The energy within the pure iron was attracted by the black hole and began to be channeled into it.
Streams of black energy flowed upwards like water, forming a protective barrier that encapsulated Lin Zhen within.
This layer of protection was entirely fluid metal, impervious even to missile bombardment from the outside.
Silently~~~!!!
The process progressively continued in silence as the mass of the pure iron gradually lightened, transforming into common iron.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhen’s stagnant realm once again made progress!
When half of the pure iron’s energy was absorbed, Lin Zhen broke through the barrier of the Meteor Level 6 Peak and directly advanced to Meteor Level 7!
“Amazing! Such a freakish Black Hole Beast indeed!”
At this moment, Lin Zhen’s heart was surged with excitement. No wonder it was a mutated Galaxy Beast even stronger than a Super Star River Beast. This upgrading speed alone was unparalleled among all people, races, and Galaxy Beasts!
As to why he would have this gene, Lin Zhen knew in his heart that the Black Hole Beast was a mutated Kylin. He already had Xiao Nuan’s blood, and his soul had traversed a black hole, forming a black hole within the Dark Star. Such an opportunity had combined multiple once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunities, giving him the Black Hole Beast’s gene.
“As long as I have this talent for upgrading, all other talents are worthless before me.” freёnovelkiss.com
About an hour later, this pile of pure iron was entirely absorbed, becoming ordinary iron devoid of any energy.
Lin Zhen opened his eyes, a mysterious light flickered in his eyes. His realm had already reached the mid-stage of Meteor Level 7.
“Finally, I’ve reached the late Meteor stage. But after this absorption, I need to wait about a month to digest before I can absorb again.”
“Now I just need pure iron, but when I reach the Comet Stage, I will need Fire Copper Essence. And each absorption costs double the price of the last one!”
“This first time required forty billion Sanjiang currency. The more I progress, the more money I need to spend. When I reach the Planet Stage or Constant Star Stage, it will require a staggering amount of money.”
Lin Zhen stood up, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship had returned from outside.
Ling’er disembarked from the spaceship. Seeing Lin Zhen in the yard, she knew that this was her brother’s real body and immediately ran towards him like a little swallow.
Lin Zhen spread his arms and gently hugged Ling’er.
“Ling’er, you and I met by chance, but we are fated. From now on, your brother will take care of you until you get married.”
Ling’er lowered her head in thought, then suddenly looked up and said, “Brother, you have a funny way of telling lies.”
Lin Zhen felt slightly awkward and gave a sheepish grin. He was just trying to gauge Ling’er’s feelings, but he didn’t expect this quirky little girl to see through him at a glance.
“No laughing at your brother.”
Looking at her delicate, translucent, and non-human pointed ears, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but give them a pinch.
Ling’er gave a startled yell and backed away, her face flushing beet red.
Only then did Lin Zhen realise that he had been abrupt. The ears of an elf girl were their most sensitive part, it’s a forbidden area just like a human girl’s. They were not to be touched by anyone other than their lovers.
Lin Zhen chuckled awkwardly, “Ling’er, we will live here from now on. You are the mistress of this place. You can plant any flowers, grass, or trees you want, and decorate it however you like.”
This villa cost Lin Zhen forty billion and covered a large area, even featuring springs and artificial lakes. Ling’er fell in love with this place the moment she saw it.
Especially Lin Zhen’s words about being the mistress, it made her feel a sense of belonging.
“Okay! I will definitely decorate it well. This is our home, mine and brother’s.”
Lin Zhen gave Ling’er a card with fifty billion Sanjiang currency for her to spend freely.
Ling’er herself was about to advance to the Planet Stage from the Satellite Stage, she was a genuine genius who needed money for cultivation.
Ling’er didn’t stand on ceremony with Lin Zhen, she accepted the card and bounced off to explore her new home.
At this moment she felt like the luckiest person in the world. Meeting Lin Zhen was her good fortune. However, elves were naturally indifferent. As long as she could stay by Lin Zhen’s side, she didn’t care much about money.
Seeing Ling’er’s happy expression, Lin Zhen also felt good.
But he didn’t relax at all. He already knew about Huo Li’s expulsion.
Considering how much Han Sha and the others valued him, Lin Zhen felt a lot of pressure. If he couldn’t produce results with the World Stone, he would certainly let them down.
There were only eleven months left until the day of the World Stone opening. Lin Zhen had planned for this time period. Apart from buying metal for upgrading, it was to go to the Asura Arena’s virtual field for cultivation!
