Chapter 255 Purchasing the "King's Armor"
The Hongmeng envoys who came to invite Chen Yuan consisted of nine people, the leader of whom was named "Desire Queen," a human woman wearing revealing pink armor.
Virtual universe, Thunder Island.
Since Senior Brother Youhou forged a kingship for Chen Yuan, he has acquired an additional residence on Thunder Island, which is now being used to receive envoys from the Hong Alliance.
"King Qingxiao".
The leading envoy, King Yuxin, smiled and said, "I presume you already know why we've come."
"Of course." Chen Yuan nodded. "The envoys are from the Hong Alliance, presumably to invite me to join."
"It seems that King Qingxiao really knows our Hongmeng very well."
Yu Xin Wang smiled charmingly, "Since that's the case, I won't explain any further. We are indeed here to invite Qing Xiao Wang to join us."
"Of course, there's one thing I need to remind you of."
After a pause, King Yu Xin continued, "The Hong Alliance will never force anyone to join, but once you join the Hong Alliance—you must not betray it."
"I understand." Chen Yuan nodded again. "I agree to join the Hongmeng."
"Ding!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling star condensed and took shape in front of Chen Yuan. Then, the star landed on his battle armor and turned into a star mark.
Immediately afterwards, a figure formed of light appeared, spoke to him in a manner resembling an oath, and then disappeared.
At this point, Chen Yuan had officially become a member of the Hongmeng.
"Congratulations to King Qingxiao on joining the Hongmeng Alliance."
The Hongmeng envoys, led by King Yuxin, offered their congratulations. King Yuxin smiled and said, "Information about the Hongmeng has been made available to you, including the virtual dimension 'Hongmeng City'."
"Of course, before you officially enter Hongmeng City, it's best to read the relevant information first, so you won't be completely clueless once you're inside."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Understood, thank you for your guidance, King of Desire."
He then exchanged communication information with the Desire King and the others, and invited them to a banquet. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the group became quite familiar with each other.
After the Hongmeng envoys left, Chen Yuan went to his study and carefully read through the detailed information about the Hongmeng.
In fact, the general content was similar to what he had learned from the original work, only with more details. Chen Yuan quickly memorized it and then opened the virtual dimension "Hongmeng City" and selected to teleport.
The next second, he appeared in the living room of a house.
"Hmm, this is such a nostalgic house. I haven't lived in a villa in so long."
Chen Yuan glanced around at his surroundings and couldn't help but sigh.
Every member who joins Hongmeng is automatically assigned a 3200-square-meter residence, which Chen Yuan considers to be no different from a villa.
This residence looks pretty good, but don't forget that those who can come to the Hongmeng are at least at the King level.
Especially for some ethnic minorities, whose bodies can easily reach tens or hundreds of meters in length, they can only live in this 3200-square-meter house, which must be extremely cramped.
Want a better living environment? Sure! As long as you are strong enough, Hongmeng City will automatically assign you a residence based on each member's star level.
However, to upgrade one's star rating, one needs real battle achievements. For example, Chen Yuan's achievement of killing Wan Qianwang actually allows him to be rated as a 'two-star' member.
Unfortunately, every new member joining the Hongmeng starts at one star, so Chen Yuan needs to achieve new battle results if he wants to increase his star level.
However, Chen Yuan had no time to care about that. After having Irene bring up the map of Hongmeng City, he glanced at it and left the residence, heading straight in one direction.
A moment later, he arrived in front of a large shop—Yu Baotang!
"According to the original plot, the King Armor of the Yan God Clan should be for sale in Yu Bao Tang, and it only costs 50 billion Chaos Units."
Chen Yuan stared at the shop sign and thought to himself, "I've only arrived a few thousand years early; that armor should still be there, right?"
Although he thought that way, he also understood that a mere few thousand years was nothing to a king, and that the Flame God Clan King Armor was most likely still in the shop.
Stepping into the shop, one is greeted by a dazzling array of rare treasures from across the universe. Even the cheapest item is worth over a hundred units of Hunyuan, and many treasures are priced in the hundreds of millions.
Instead of blindly searching everywhere, Chen Yuan used his mental energy to scan the entire shop.
Although everyone's physical attributes were uniformly adjusted to the apprentice level within Hongmeng City, and mental power could not be used, Chen Yuan's mental power remained unaffected.
His mental power is based on the application of his own will, and can be considered a rather special secret art of will. This ability is naturally beyond the control of the virtual universe.
It can be said that no matter the environment, it cannot affect his application of mental power.
Soon, Chen Yuan had a clear understanding of all the goods in the shop, and at the same time, he discovered the "Golden Armor" placed in the corner of the first floor.
"Found it."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and quickly walked to the golden armor that was eight meters tall.
After confirming that the aura was indeed from the Flame God Clan's armor, he raised his hand to summon a servant and said, "I'll buy this golden armor."
"Golden armor?!" The waiter's eyes widened, clearly not understanding why this customer would buy this golden armor that had never sold.
However, remembering the deputy head's instructions, the waiter quickly said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I cannot make the decision on this matter."
"Hmm." Chen Yuan nodded. He was well aware of the tricks behind the golden armor. In fact, Yu Baotang had been keeping an eye on the identity of the person who bought the golden armor.
Sure enough, not long after, the waiter brought over a slender woman with golden curly hair. She introduced herself as the deputy head of Yu Bao Hall, a three-star expert, and titled "King Canxin".
A moment later, only the two of them remained alone in the back hall on the first floor.
"My esteemed guest," the blonde woman said with a smile, "it's rare to encounter someone who wants to buy this golden armor, which piques my curiosity."
"The customer is less than two meters tall, but this golden armor is eight meters tall, and the style cannot be changed. It will be difficult for the customer to make full use of the golden armor's effects after buying it."
"If that's the case, then why did the guest take a liking to this golden armor?"
"Does Yubaotang really enjoy prying into its customers' secrets?" Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Of course not, Yu Bao Tang places great importance on customer privacy."
The blonde woman chuckled softly. "It's simply for the safety of our guests. After all, the last person to buy the golden armor, the 'Black Phoenix King,' perished because of this armor's flaw."
"I know what happened to the Black Phoenix King, no need to elaborate," Chen Yuan said. "I'm definitely buying it."
"Since the customer has made up their mind, we naturally won't refuse this business."
With a wave of her hand, the blonde woman displayed a virtual universe agreement before Chen Yuan. "This is the purchase agreement. If you've reviewed it and have no objections, please sign it."
Chen Yuan glanced at the agreement, found nothing wrong, and signed it. At the same time, the blonde woman also signed the agreement.
After the agreement was completed, Chen Yuan also transferred 50 billion Hunyuan units to Yu Baotang's account.
After the transaction was completed, Chen Yuan did not leave. Instead, he said, "I heard that to enter the second floor of Yu Bao Tang, one needs deposits exceeding 100 billion in two major banks, or a four-star status?"
"The guest is right," the blonde woman replied with a smile.
"There are some things on your second floor that I'm quite interested in, but I don't have hundreds of billions in savings, nor do I have a four-star status."
Chen Yuan said calmly, "But I have a treasure that should be enough to exchange for these things. I just don't know if Yu Baotang is willing to do this deal."
"Treasures on the second floor?" The blonde woman was slightly surprised. "How do you know what's on the second floor without even going up?"
Chen Yuan naturally detected it through his mental power, and he shook his head slightly: "You don't need to know how I knew."
Upon hearing this, the blonde woman gave the mysterious King-level expert a deep look before saying, "Since the guest is not going upstairs, it doesn't mean he's breaking the rules."
"What would you like, sir?"
Chen Yuan named out the names of the materials, all of which were related to optimizing his treasures. If he could buy these materials, he could optimize his treasures ahead of time.
After Chen Yuan finished reporting the materials, the blonde woman's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "Are you sure you need these treasures, sir? Some of these treasures cannot be bought with money; we only accept barter."
"Money cannot buy things, but it can measure value."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Although these materials are precious, I don't need a large quantity of each kind. In total, it's only a few hundred million units of Hunyuan."
"Of course, I don't have that much cash on me, how about we trade this item?"
As he spoke, he casually tossed out a silver-white longsword, one of the results of his optimizations while studying the laws and runes over the years.
"This is a priceless treasure?!" The blonde woman's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in disbelief.
