Chapter 814 Bronze-grade Stellar Ship

The genius battle had finally ended. Whether it was the mighty Fiendgod or the 1,008 Eternals, they all left immediately.

David and the 1,000 youths still remained there as the worker beside them shouted, “Everybody please stay for awhile. We still have some matters to discuss with you all regarding us taking you to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

After a while.

Within restaurant number two in the plaza, David and the 1,000 geniuses sat in the meeting room.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Destitute.” At about 2.67m, wearing a smile with a streak on his neck, the man stood at the front of the meeting room, “As our Virtual Universe Company has to arrange for the Stellar ships to specially go receive you all, can everybody please fill up the paper in front of you with the correct planet address, and I will collect them.”

David picked up the pen and began to write, “Aeon Star universe state, Aeon Mythical Island starfield, Milky way galaxy, “Blue Swirl Star.”

The 1,000 youths from the many universe countries were writing.

“Do we even need this? Just tell us where to gather and we’ll take our own ships and head over, wouldn’t that do?”

“Right, there’s no need to pick us up, it’s troublesome.”

Among the group there were some shouting.

Destitute smiled and said, “As the travel will pass many universe countries, it is very very far away, and the normal Stellar ships travel very slow within the dark universe. To actually reach our company’s headquarters, would require a very long time. To save everybody’s time, naturally, our Virtual Universe Company will specially arrange for the best Stellar ships to receive you!”

“This 1,000 here, the one that’s the furthest from our headquarters is 1.5 billion light years away.” Destitute smiled, “And the ratio of distance between the dark universe compared to the real universe is 1:10081 thousand times. Even if one moved at light speed all the way, it would still require 150 years to reach.”

Silence!

The initially bustling meeting room went silent. Even David who was seriously filling out the form couldn’t help but look up.

150 years?

“My god, 150 years?” A beast man who looked like a lion in the corner exclaimed as he was shocked. “The longest I’ve sat in a Stellar ship and travelled was for only about two months, this 150 years…”

The universe was too huge.

Back then, just heading from earth to Horned dragon star, by utilizing that universe travel within the Aeon Mythical Island star field, required about half a month.

And that was only one starfield!

Above the starfield, was the bigger star sector, and every star sector was incredibly vast! That farthest away from the headquarters being 1.5 billion light years, wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

“If everybody took their own ships.”

“1st point would be that the speed is too slow, hence it would require too much time.”

“2nd point would be that due to long period of travel, the amount of energy wasted by the ship would be shocking.”

“3rd and also the most important point is that when you travel in the dark universe, there are some special spots which are not safe, you’ll meet universe pirates. Or even some other races that will rob you. To all here, safety is of utmost importance.” On the stage, Destitute smiled, “Right now the best normal Stellar ships can at most do a couple of times light speed in the dark universe. This means that the travel would still take far too long.”

David nodded.

By reaching light speed in the actual universe, according to the rules of calculation, one could immediately reach the dark universe. However, there was a base speed but no upper limit. As long as your ship was good enough, one could reach even faster, 1 time? 2 times? 3 times light speed?

If your Stellar ship was good enough, you could reach that speed in the dark universe.

A gold grade Aeon Mythical Island ship could reach up to 1.5 times the light speed in the dark universe. Even with that speed, for a distance of 1.5 billion light years, one would still have to fly continuously for a 100 years.

“Du!”

“Collection complete.” Beams of light landed on each person’s paper, and a screen appeared at the front of the meeting room. On it was a large galaxy map, and beside it were complicated numbers and symbols. Destitute took a look and turned back to the 1,000 geniuses, smiling, “Attention all, your written addresses have all been recorded in our file. According to your 1,000 different locations and our ship resources, we’ve already chosen the best route for each of you.”

“How long will it take?”

“How long will it take for us to reach the virtual universe headquarters?” A few couldn’t help but ask.

David creased his eyebrows too and stared at Destitute on the stage.

150 years? 100 years? No matter what it was, it was still too long.

“As you all have different distances, the arranged ships will travel at different speeds too, I can still guarantee you that the maximum travel time will be 3 years.”

“3 years?”

“So short?”

“How is that possible? How fast can that Stellar ship reach for it to travel 1.5 billion light years in 3 years?” The 1000 geniuses including David all mostly stared wide eyed.

3 years of travelling in the dark universe, with a distance of 1.5 billion light years, that meant the ship could reach 50 times light speed!

This was simply an unbelievable number.

A gold grade ship was normally a little above 1 time. Even a Bronze grade ship was probably just a few times, like David’s acquired automaton ship, that level of technology was much more than a regular human’s 3 grade ship. However that automaton ship could at most travel 10 times light speed in the dark universe.

“Our Virtual Universe Company will arrange an Bronze grade ships for everybody.” Destitute smiled, “And these aren’t the easily purchasable Bronze grade ships. But rather…special Bronze grade ships that are only manufactured in the Virtual Universe Company. The technology far exceeds that of regular Bronze grade ships within universe countries.”

Silence.

Stunned.

Shocked.

Many Eternals couldn’t even afford it. Just from those two facts, one could see how expensive and valuable an Beimze grade ship was. Within the many star field empires, like the Aeon Mythical Island empire, there wasn’t even one Bronze grade ship in the entire empire.

Even though the universe countries normally had it, the majority of the Bronze grade ships couldn’t even reach 50 times light speed in the dark universe.

“Incredible!” Sitting on David’s right was the Dragon prince.

The Dragon prince Wuka stared at Destitute on the stage and said softly, “Really incredible. It actually, actually can send 1,000 Bronze grade ships, and all of them with such technology. My imperial father had said before that the Virtual Universe Company’s technology is like the sacred land for humanity’s technology. But that’s just simply too incredible.”

Among the groups in humanity, the Virtual Universe Company’s technology ranked first!

Even in the vast universe, within countless races, those who were actually be able to compete with the Virtual Universe Company’s technology were far and few. Only races like the automaton race or other very few races had such level.

“Destitute , can we buy these bronze grade ships?” Someone shouted.

“Right, can we buy them?” The Dragon prince shouted.

“These are internal items of our Virtual Universe Company. As core members within our company, you all can definitely purchase them. However you can only use them for yourselves. You can’t sell it to others…if you want to sell, you have to sell it back to our Virtual Universe Company.” Destitute smiled, “The only thing is that these Bronze Grade ships are too expensive. Even among the Eternals, many of them can’t afford them. You all shouldn’t be too anxious, train hard and when you become absolute warriors within our company, the company may just give you one altogether.”

A group of the youths smiled immediately.

Absolute warriors Were given an Bronze Grade Stellar ship?

To actually be allocated one, just what level of strength did one have to reach. To these bunch of star level punks, that was indeed too far away.

“Awesome.” David couldn’t help but mutter.

“Sigh, Devil.” The Dragon prince Wuka beside turned over and said softly, “Don’t listen to this guys boast so much. There’s no such thing as a free meal in the universe. If you want to receive one, you’d definitely have to pay for it in one way or another, that’s what my father said! However let me tell you, the Virtual Universe Company is definitely a sacred land for the human race, with countless treasures and techniques. It’s a pity we didn’t enter the primal secret area, but it’s still ok. We’ve entered the Absolute beginning area, there are many perks there too. You’ll know in the future.”

“Ah?” David smiled and nodded.
