Chapter 2: A Trillion Falls from the Sky!
Lying in bed, Suks reflected on the results of today's training.
"My power level isn't high enough, it's only a little over twice as much." Suk shook his head.
Physical fitness will improve.
The physical fitness of a ninth-level apprentice ranges from 256000 kg to 512000 kg. He has been a ninth-level apprentice for over a year now, and his physical fitness, especially his punching power, can reach around 40 kg.
If you put in the effort, a single punch could easily weigh a million kilograms.
However, improving one's power and realm is difficult and depends on talent.
Even with a teacher, you can't learn well without the talent.
"With my current training progress, reaching the ninth level of apprenticeship is within reach, but I estimate I won't have a chance to reach the planetary level until after I'm thirty," Suk thought to himself.
This speed... is just average.
"Looks like I'm not a genius after all," Suk muttered to himself. "Aren't transmigrators supposed to have cheat codes? What about me?"
Actually, Suk had already searched for it yesterday when he first awakened his memories, but he found nothing.
Is it because I don't have it, or am I opening it incorrectly?
For example, in a family marriage system, you need to find a wife first?
"Oh well, at least I've transmigrated." Suk was optimistic. No matter how bad his physical talent was, becoming a planetary-level being wouldn't be difficult. A thousand-year lifespan plus the living conditions of this era was something countless people in his previous life could only dream of.
Just then, a ding startled Suk from his reverie. He was delighted, but then realized something was wrong. The virtual environment vanished automatically, and his gaze became clear as he looked at a dark electronic helmet sitting quietly on the cabinet in front of him. The helmet's screen, which was on the bedside table, suddenly lit up, and a voice message appeared on it along with a notification.
"An email from the virtual universe?" Suk blinked.
To connect to the virtual universe, you can use a 'sensor helmet', 'auxiliary optical brain', 'intelligent optical brain', or 'intelligent life form'.
The cheapest consciousness-sensing helmet costs 10 Jialan coins. The annual fee for the Virtual Universe network is either 10 Jialan coins or 0.008 Liuyun coins.
It may seem like a small amount, but only a very small number of ordinary people on the planet can afford it, and it's mostly used by planetary-level humans. Keep in mind that in the slave market, a 'Ninth-Tier Apprentice' martial artist only costs 20 Jia Lan Coins!
His family's living conditions are quite good, but because of his parents' work at the interstellar company, he needs to contact the company in a timely manner and the company covers most of the expenses. His parents are both full-time employees with good benefits. His parents usually share an account and leave one account for their son, so they can meet in the virtual universe.
"Being able to enter the virtual universe is such a wonderful life, but who exactly sent me the email?" Suk wondered.
Aside from his two best friends, Suk didn't have any close friends.
His two friends came from families even worse off than him; the virtual universe was only used by the adults in their families, and they rarely used it themselves.
Suk put on the helmet and entered the virtual universe. "Virtual universe connection in progress..." A deep, resonant voice echoed in his consciousness, which then plunged into darkness.
In an ancient city, countless strange-looking humans move about, and suddenly a figure appears on an ancient street.
"Tsk, that's where I logged off last time." Suk, dressed in simple gray clothes, glanced around and clicked his tongue.
If he didn't own property in the virtual universe, he would appear directly on the street, just like he is now. If he did own property, he would appear in his home in the virtual universe.
Given the Suk family's circumstances, they clearly couldn't afford to buy a property in the virtual universe. The poor could only look at the houses around them and shed bitter tears.
"Let's see whose email it is first." With a thought, Su Ke saw a screen appear in front of him and quickly pulled up an email.
"This is..." Suk was stunned when he saw the beginning.
"Dear customer, congratulations on your purchase of lottery tickets at our branch..."
Lottery ticket? Suk tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that he had spent money on a virtual universe game before. Not long ago, on his 16th birthday, as a reward for players, the game held a lottery for players, and Suk won a lottery ticket for the virtual universe. However, he forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
After reading the entire email, Suk was furious.
"Third prize! One trillion Jialan coins!?"
Suk could hardly believe his eyes.
His eyes suddenly reddened, and his body trembled as he intently looked at the email again.
The email was signed by the Jialan Empire Branch of the Virtual Universe All-Starry Sky Lottery Liuyun Universe Kingdom. As for the time, it was also recorded in the Jialan Empire calendar, in billions of years. After all, the Jialan Empire was a medium-level civilization, and its founder was an ancient and great immortal god, an existence that countless ordinary planetary citizens looked up to.
"I won the third prize?" Su Ke felt like he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, completely bewildered.
Don't underestimate this third prize; it's issued by the colossal Virtual Universe to all 1008 cosmic nations of humanity. This prize is only issued by a regional branch of a medium-level civilization nation within the Jialan Empire. Even a third prize is worth a full trillion Jialan coins!
With humanity's vast territory, billions of planets, and countless people, the number of third-prize winners each time is unimaginable! And he is just one of the lucky ones.
Suk's mind was almost completely blank.
What does one trillion Jialan coins mean?
You can buy stunningly beautiful women of planetary or lower rank from various planetary races for just a few thousand each.
If you want to buy a strong slave, a Planetary-level slave costs around 1, while a Constant-level slave costs around 1 million.
Even cosmic level...
A single unit of cosmic value costs trillions of Jialan coins. More expensive than a planet!
Suk swallowed hard. "But it seems that even a first-tier cosmic-level slave costs at least ten trillion..."
However, buying a level 9 slave warrior of the Hengxing Star only costs 5 billion!
If he remembered correctly, the strongest warrior on their planet was only a fourth-level Hengxing warrior! If he bought a few ninth-level Hengxing slaves, he would be able to do whatever he wanted!
Strength is the only truth in the universe!
If you don't have enough yourself, then others will make up for it.
Like An Tai and his group who clashed with him yesterday, their families might have some background in this city, but what are they on the entire Moon River Star? What if he had a group of ninth-tier bodyguards at the Heng Star level? Even if he killed them in the street, believe it or not, the planetary authorities wouldn't dare arrest Suk; they would only choose to let it go!
One trillion Jialan coins is an astronomical figure for ordinary people on the planet; it's enough to buy a life-bearing planet!
After repeatedly checking the contents of the email, Suk finally managed to calm down after a long while.
As an ordinary person, this trillion dollars that fell from the sky really stunned him.
Then another message came in, this time from the legendary Universe First Bank and Universe Galaxy Bank.
They were asking Suk whether he had enough money to open a bank account and if he was willing to do so. If the account was opened successfully, the huge sum of lottery winnings would be credited to his account immediately.
The Cosmic Galaxy Bank! The number one bank in the universe! It is exclusively for the upper echelons of society and powerful martial artists in the universe. The threshold for opening an account at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank or the number one bank in the universe is a minimum deposit of 1 million Jia Lan coins!
Even the richest people on some ordinary planets don't qualify for the minimum requirements of the two major banks!
Suk is clearly much richer than the average planet's richest person.
