Chapter 252 Welcome Banquet
The Virtual Universe Company's Dream Branch holds a very prestigious position within the Dream Universe Kingdom.
Because the Dream Branch represents the Virtual Universe Company and manages certain aspects of the entire Dream Universe Kingdom!
Although it is nominally managed by the Dream Universe Kingdom, even the ruler of the Dream Universe Kingdom must obey the Virtual Universe Company, which leads to 1008
In the Cosmic Kingdom, every branch attracts numerous immortals of the Marquis level vying to serve as its minister.
"An invitation from the Dream Branch?"
"Headquarters dispatched an inspection envoy to the Dream Branch? No wonder the three giants were in such a hurry."
"Even the emperor cannot refuse a banquet hosted by the three giants."
The invitations were sent out one after another, causing a sensation at the highest levels of the entire Dream Universe Kingdom!
An invitation from the three giants of Fantasy Dream? No one dares to refuse.
While the entire Dream Universe was shaken, Zhou Ze was chatting and drinking with Huo Meihou.
As a powerful figure in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, Huo Meihou had lived through countless years, and Zhou Ze certainly appreciated his hospitality.
However, Zhou Ze was also aware of the purpose of these three giants, as well as the purpose of putting him and Huo Meihou alone in a room.
No matter where you are, you can't avoid interpersonal relationships. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It's just a matter of asking him to be lenient during the investigation.
If they really crack down hard, even without severe punishment, they will lose their positions as one of the three giants.
"Apprentice, I've glanced at your basic information. Your generation's genius competition is truly unbelievable," Huo Meihou said with a smile, taking a sip of her red lips.
"The ten people from the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Realm actually passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven in Chaos City. This is truly outrageous."
"About a hundred years later, Luo Feng had already passed the tenth level, and you even defeated Luo Feng in the qualifying battle. You're probably confident you can pass the eleventh level now, right?"
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. This is all thanks to my teacher's guidance. I wouldn't have the strength I have now on my own."
Huo Meihou's eyes revealed surprise: "Just who is your teacher? How could he possess such miraculous guidance abilities?"
"Such beings must be at least rulers of nations, or even more powerful beings, right?"
Huo Meihou said to himself, "To have the company create a separate dimension just for him, and to have tens of thousands of people immediately make reservations as soon as it's opened—you know, for us marquises, it costs a million points to make a reservation!"
Zhou Ze smiled slightly as he looked into Huo Meihou's fiery red eyes: "One million points is nothing to Huo Meihou, is it? Have you made a reservation?"
"One million points isn't much, huh? No wonder you're a disciple of the 'Holy Master,' he doesn't have that many points—" Fire Demon Marquis complained about being poor.
Zhou Ze didn't believe Huo Meihou's words at all. For an ordinary marquis, one million points might be something they would have to grit their teeth to come up with.
But for a powerful figure like Huo Meihou, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, his wealth is probably comparable to, or even greater than, that of a typical king.
Zhou Ze smiled and remained silent. It wasn't that he was bragging, but the company had him do this. The lucky thing wasn't how many points he could get, but rather the luck of everyone else.
As time went on, he became more and more aware of his own guiding abilities. Just as Luo Feng and the others had mentioned, being guided by him once was almost comparable to going to the Chaos Monument, and even more so in terms of details.
The number of times you can comprehend the Chaos Stele is generally not something you can buy with points. You can only do so by completing specific requirements, such as crossing the Heavenly Bridge. The thirty years that newcomers join the Virtual Universe Company and enter Chaos City is the period of fastest improvement.
Those cultivators who gritted their teeth and spent points to receive his guidance would almost immediately reserve a second time, as long as they had enough redemption opportunities and points.
For virtual universe companies that can redeem the first number of guidance sessions, they often also have the points to redeem a second time, but the biggest limitation is still eligibility.
"You can give it a try. There's a reason why my teacher is so popular," Zhou Ze said casually.
Huo Meihou became interested, resting his chin on his hand and asking curiously, "You are a disciple of the 'Holy Master,' you should know best, right?"
"Many people have commented that the effect of receiving guidance even once is comparable to that of the Chaos Monument. Is this true or false?"
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "You'll know once you try it. It only costs one million points."
"Besides, a million points are nothing to you—"
Huo Meihou covered his mouth and chuckled, not bothering to pretend: "I booked it a long time ago, but the number of reservations is already approaching 100,000!"
"When it's my turn, I wonder how many years it will be—"
Zhou Ze looked at the wine in his glass and said, "For beings like you who possess eternal life, this little bit of time is nothing."
Even an immortal god takes hundreds or thousands of years to doze off. He basically goes through a cycle every month, with a hundred or tens of thousands of people in each cycle, which takes only a few dozen or a hundred years.
Let alone the immortal level, even for the cosmic level, that amount of time is nothing.
"That's true. Once you become immortal, time loses its meaning, and correspondingly, advancement becomes extremely difficult. If such an effect truly exists..."
"This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity!" Huo Meihou smiled charmingly.
"The banquet should be in a month. Shall I show you around in the meantime?" Huo Meihou changed the subject: "I happen to be in the Dream Continent as well."
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Huo Mei!" Zhou Ze thought for a moment and smiled.
"Stop calling me Fire Demon Lord, just call me Vicky—" Fire Demon Lord's smile widened.
Three days passed quickly.
Zhou Ze led his entire guard army and quickly headed towards the location of the welcoming banquet to be held that evening.
After a while.
They arrived at a core area, nearly a thousand kilometers in diameter, located east of the capital.
This place was originally a gathering place for members of the Virtual Universe Company, but within a month, this core area was quickly demolished, and the members were moved to other geographically less desirable locations.
And in just three days, he built a luxurious manor covering nearly a thousand square kilometers, named "Zhou Family Manor".
Upon assuming office, any new Inspector General will be provided with a residence by the Virtual Universe Corporation, as one of the four major powers of the Qianwu Distribution.
Building a luxurious park spanning thousands of kilometers in the heart of the Dream Universe Kingdom would be fitting for Zhou Ze's status.
Zhou Ze and his group could already see the luxurious manor in the distance.
"Your Highness, those three powerful figures are really going all out to please you—" Bertha said with a smile.
Zhou Ze smiled but didn't say anything more.
"Let's go inside," Zhou Ze said.
A group of people followed Zhou Ze to the main entrance.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting here for Your Highness on the orders of Marquis Jiyan."
"Your Highness, I am acting on the orders of Lord Huo Mei—"
"—The Marquis of Liushuang gave the order—"
Three female realm lords stood at the main entrance of the manor. Each of them was stunningly beautiful. In the vast universe, beauty was nothing unusual.
You can buy a bunch of gorgeous slaves with just a little money; only when they are paired with status, position, and power do they become attractive.
