Chapter 140: What on Earth is This Kid's Background?

"Wait, let me calculate... Unless it's a private chartered transit, the space transit station requires at least a thousand people to initiate a jump. One million Yuanlan Coins per person, so the total cost is... ten billion Yuanlan Coins!" After doing the math, Velynn was instantly dumbfounded. She hadn't considered this matter at all before, and only after Blue Sky's reminder did she realize that the cost of a single transit was actually this astonishing!

"Oh heavens... Ten billion Yuanlan Coins, which is one hundred thousand Cosmic Coins!" Velynn's face instantly turned pale, and now she could confirm that Blue Sky wasn't lying to her.

She only had a mere fifty million Yuanlan Coins, which amounted to five thousand Cosmic Coins. How could she possibly afford the transit fee...

Her father certainly had money, but asking her father for so much money out of nowhere—if she didn't explain clearly, her father definitely wouldn't give it to her. And if she really explained clearly and revealed her intentions, her father's reaction wouldn't just be as simple as refusing to give her the money...

"...What should we do?" Velynn looked rather helplessly at Blue Sky, blinking unblinkingly, afraid that he would utter words like "since you don't have enough money, there's nothing I can do."

"Tsk tsk, now you know you're poor too? Who was the one bragging to me about being rich earlier?" Blue Sky teased with a smile.

"..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'm heading to Absolute Heaven Star anyway. Since I promised you, I'll take you along. Don't worry, you don't need to pay. Such a small amount of money is practically negligible to yours truly!" Blue Sky said with a smile. He was simply that kind of person—either he wouldn't agree to take her, but once he did, he naturally wouldn't truly quibble over such a small expense.

Thinking of the one hundred thousand Level 9 energy crystals quietly resting in the private space he inherited from his God of War battle account, Blue Sky's grand spirit surged naturally. How could he possibly care about such pocket change!

One hundred thousand Cosmic Coins sounded like a lot, but it was really just a mere 10 Level 9 energy crystals.

Hearing that Blue Sky agreed to take her for free, Velynn immediately felt relieved. However, feeling that she was taking a huge advantage of him, she said somewhat sheepishly, "Thank you so much, Blue Sky. You really are a good person. Don't worry, once I clear the higher levels in the Absolute Heaven Pagoda trial, I will definitely repay you well!"

"...Tell me, can you stop handing out the 'good person' card?" Blue Sky smiled and shook his head, saying, "Whether I'll need your repayment after the Absolute Heaven Pagoda trial remains to be seen, but right now, I do indeed need your repayment."

"You... what do you want?" Velynn suddenly gave Blue Sky a rather bizarre look, took a few steps back, and guarded herself, saying, "I'm not that kind of person! Don't even think about it!"

" produt... what kind of look is that?!" Seeing her act this way and realizing she had misunderstood, Blue Sky exasperatedly said, "What on earth is going on in that brain of yours?"

"Then you want me to repay you now? You... how do you want me to repay you?" Velynn still maintained a defensive posture.

"You're out of your mind! Rest assured, I have no interest in aliens, and I don't even know if your genes have any defects..." Blue Sky said speechlessly.

"Your genes are the defective ones! I am a genius who took just a little over a day to complete the first-layer trial of the Absolute Heaven Pagoda!" Hearing this, Velynn instantly became displeased and provoked, "What about you?! Tell me, how long did it take you back then?"

"Heh, I'm afraid if I tell you, it'll scare you to death." Thinking back to how he had taken less than fifty minutes, Blue Sky felt a surge of superiority and said disdainfully.

"Scare me to death indeed. Go ahead and say it, let's see if it can scare me to death!" Seeing him act so arrogant, Velynn grew angry.

"This genius only took less than fifty minutes to pass the first layer of the Absolute Heaven Pagoda back then," Blue Sky said with a proud expression. "To be exact, it was only 48 minutes and 39 seconds. How about that?"

"Pfft!" Velynn burst out laughing and mocked, "If you're going to brag, at least look up the data first. The fastest record for the first layer of the Absolute Heaven Pagoda is 8 hours, 41 minutes, and 27 seconds—I can even recite it. You claim you only took 48 minutes? Haha, you're so funny!"

"Believe what you want." Blue Sky rolled his eyes and didn't continue. For one, there was no evidence for this kind of thing, and secondly, he knew that unless someone saw it with their own eyes, no one would believe it even if there was evidence...

"Alright, alright. We're all so familiar with each other, so stop putting on a front. Just remember to check the data before bragging next time, otherwise it looks far too ignorant." Velynn wore an expression that clearly said *I won't laugh at you*.

"Do you still want to leave Huidu Star or not?" Blue Sky, feeling helpless, brandished his ultimate trump card.

"Oh, you know, I suddenly feel that with your age and such formidable mental power, you really are a genius after all. 48 minutes doesn't seem completely impossible!"

"Heh."

"Really! You have to cover for me once you strike it rich in the future!"

"Heh, heh, heh."

"..."

After a bout of laughter and bantering, Blue Sky finally returned to a serious demeanor. "Alright, alright, I don't really need you to repay me for anything. It was just a flick of the wrist. If you really want to repay me, go on, pour me another glass of that purple drink from earlier. I must say, it's actually quite delicious."

"Heh heh, no problem! Unlimited supply, drink until you throw up!"

"..."

After finishing the drink and enjoying a fully automated, three-dimensional massage from dozens of miniature robots, Blue Sky looked at the darkening sky and said, "You know Huidu Star well. It's too late today, so tomorrow take me to Huidu Star's Virtual Universe Network branch office. I need to pick something up, and as soon as I get it, we'll set off!"

"You... you even have a private space in the Virtual Universe Network?!" Velynn was completely stunned by Blue Sky's sudden remark. She naturally knew that anyone capable of picking up items at a Virtual Universe Network branch office was a big shot who possessed a private space in the virtual universe.

And possessing a private space in the virtual universe network was a privilege reserved only for great figures of the fifth-class citizenship or higher!

Because of her father's connections, she also held citizenship in the Virtual Universe Network, but it was merely the lowest first-class citizenship. Even her father, after striving until now, had only managed to scrape together a fourth-class citizenship.

This kid who had broken into her home... what on earth was his background?!

Looking at someone roughly her age who not only had cultivation deeper than hers and possessed high-grade cosmic battle armor, but also casually dismissed 10 Level 9 energy crystals worth one hundred thousand Cosmic Coins, and now even owned a private space in the virtual universe!

What on earth was his identity? Could he possibly be the heir to some cosmic empire?!

Moreover, Velynn noticed that let alone herself, even Qipeng, who stood respectfully by Blue Sky's side, showed a look of absolute shock upon hearing this news.

Wasn't he Blue Sky's guard? By the looks of it, even he didn't know about this?

At that moment, Blue Sky's identity in Velynn's eyes suddenly became shrouded in mystery.
