Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

After hearing the introduction, all the strong men turned to look at Li Qi, even those few who ignored the King of Furious Waves were no exception.

"What? Star Death King?!"

"He is the Star Death King that has been rumored recently."

"According to the clan's instructions, Star Death King has a very powerful background. We must only make friends with him and not offend him."

"Why is the Star Death King together with the Raging Wave King? Do they have a good relationship?"

All the powerful men looked at Li Qi one after another. At the same time, they all had their own thoughts, but they all wanted to make good friends.

These powerful men are all immortal kings. Their thinking speed is astonishingly fast. They stood up and greeted Li Qi in an instant.

"Hello, Star Death King."

"King of Star Death."

"Welcome Star Death King to join our community."

Some king-conferring experts who were not well-informed saw all the powerful people standing up and immediately understood that the Star Death King who had just joined Hongmeng was not an easy person, so they stood up quickly.

Seeing those strong men who did not give him face, they also stood up to say hello, giving Li Qi enough face.

The King of Raging Waves was angry, "A bunch of snobs!"

He recalled that when he joined the Hongmeng and attended the first party, all the powerful people just raised their glasses to greet him, which was not as grand as the powerful people standing up to greet him now.

The treatment that he did not enjoy was enjoyed by a little guy who had just become an immortal god less than ten thousand years ago. The anger that the King of Raging Waves had calmed down surged into his heart again.

Li Qi saw the strong men standing up to greet them, and responded with a friendly smile.

"King Star Death." King Raging Waves said at this time: "Let's go over there."

Hearing this, Li Qi followed the gaze of the King of Furious Waves and saw many powerful aliens gathering there, forming a faint circle.

"The relationship between Star Death King and Raging Wave King seems to be very good."

"Is the Star Death King going to join the circle led by the Raging Wave King?"

"With the Star Death King joining, the Raging Wave King's circle..."

The powerful men who had been paying attention to Li Qi and the two secretly speculated in their hearts when they heard what the King of Furious Waves said.

Li Qi noticed that when the King of Raging Waves sent out the invitation, many powerful people around him felt nervous, and he suddenly had some guesses.

"King Raging Waves, please go over first. I'll talk to my human king first." Li Qi said, looking at a wine table with five strong human beings sitting there.

"Okay, I'll go there first." The King of Furious Waves forced a smile and walked towards the area where many powerful foreigners formed a circle.

After taking a few steps, the smile on his face dissipated, and his eyes became a bit gloomier, but his face didn't reveal much.

"You want to plot against me, do you really think I don't know anything?"

Looking at the retreating figure of the Raging Wave King, Li Qi sneered inwardly and walked towards the wine table where the five powerful human beings were sitting.

"King of Star Death."

"Hello, Star Death King."

Along the way, many foreign warriors greeted them. Li Qi nodded with a friendly smile and took a glass of fruit wine when passing by the bar where the drinks were stored. Then he came to the wine table where the five human warriors were sitting.

"Everyone, do you mind if I sit here?" Li Qi asked with a smile.

"Haha, Star Death King, we are both human beings, why are you so polite?"

"Yes, you're welcome, sit down."

The five strong human beings said with a smile.

Li Qi sat down and took a look at the star marks on the arm guards of the five strong human beings. Among them, three were 'two stars' and two were 'three stars'.

A 'three-star', one-horned man wearing black armor said: "Introduce yourself, I am King Chenke."

"The Blazing Hell King."

"King Lixuan."

The five powerful human beings introduced themselves one by one.

Li Qi glanced at the location of the King of Raging Waves and the other two strong human beings, and asked: "I would like to ask, why are you not with them?"

"King Star Death, you have just come to Hongmeng, so some of the hidden rules may not be clear to you."

King Lixuan smiled and explained: "Looking at them, do you feel that they have formed a circle and are separated from other circles or individual people?"

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded slightly.

"Where there are strong people, there will naturally be fights." King Lixuan explained with a smile: "The number of kings in our community is almost full, and there are nearly ten thousand immortal kings."

"These nearly 10,000 immortal kings come from different ethnic groups. As time goes by, because they will almost always be in the same community in the future, they will naturally form a group of forces, each of which will unite."

"Generally speaking, after being assigned to a community, it is almost fixed, unless Hongmeng's star rating can reach 'four stars' and enter the inner city."

King Lixuan paused for a moment and continued: "So many powerful people have been here for hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, they are closer to the powerful people in the community, forming a group of forces supporting each other and trading."

"The majority of them have thousands of kings in a group, the few have hundreds of kings, and only a handful of them are independent."

When King Lixuan said this, he smiled disdainfully, "Like the King of Raging Waves and the other two immortal kings, they are the leaders of the same force."

"As expected..." Li Qi nodded slightly and said to himself: "The King of Raging Waves wants me to join his force, that's why he is so enthusiastic."

"Those of us are unwilling to join or create our own forces." King Chen Ke smiled and said, "Even if we don't join any forces, they still don't dare to provoke us."

"They don't dare to provoke us, but they don't have a good attitude towards other Sanren. If they were in the real world, their lives would even be in danger."

The Blazing Prison King raised his head slightly and said, "Like them, the ethnic group is an ordinary or even weak ethnic group with weak strength. If you don't join the force, the situation will be very uncomfortable."

Li Qi followed his gaze and saw a number of powerful kings of different shapes drinking in a remote corner.

"It won't be much better for them to join the force. After all, the strength of the ethnic group behind them is too weak, and they are at the bottom of the Hongmeng League with many ethnic groups."

King Lixuan said softly: "Without the support of a strong ethnic group, and being just an ordinary member of the 'Two Stars', it is almost impossible to trade among forces without being exploited.

"Look at those powerful king-conferring men who had conflicts with the forces of King Raging Waves."

When Li Qi heard this, he looked around and saw the powerful kings who did not give face to the King of Furious Waves and did not even say hello when the latter came. They were chatting and drinking in the middle of the crowd.

"Although they have not entered any force, they maintain friendly relations with multiple forces and conduct transactions from time to time."

King Lixuan said: "The strength of the ethnic group behind them is not weak, and they are members of the 'Three Stars' themselves. They have the confidence not to give face to King Nutao, and there is no shortage of resources from King Nutao's force."

"So the strength of the ethnic group is very important. Without a strong ethnic group as a backer, even a 'three-star' member still has to stick together for warmth."

King Chenke asked: "King Xingyue, are you planning to join a force, or are you going to be a non-commer like us?"

"Be a Sanren for now, that way you will be more comfortable." Li Qi replied with a smile. "Indeed, there is no way for an individual to feel free to join a force." The Prison King nodded and said, "We are human beings anyway, so how can other forces dare to provoke us."

Hearing this, Li Qi smiled slightly. He could hear from the words of the Blazing Prison King, his pride and pride as a human being. Obviously, this is the glory of mankind.

"King Star Death, do you want to go to Hongmeng City for a walk? I'm familiar with this place." King Blazing Prison asked enthusiastically.

"Okay." Li Qi nodded slightly. He was about to go for a stroll in Hongmeng City, and an acquaintance led the way.

King Chen Ke reminded: "King of Blazing Prison, please don't drag King Star Death to gamble."

"Don't worry, I'm still very clear about this." The Prison King replied: "What's more, I'm not addicted to gambling. I will give up if I win or lose tens of millions of Hunyuan units. Most of the time, I just play 'the only one in ten thousand'."

Li Qi followed the Blazing Prison King out of the open-air gathering area and walked towards Hongmeng City.

…

In Hongmeng City, the lowest level of residents are all powerful kings. The city where countless strong men gather is naturally very developed. Scenes that are rarely seen in ordinary times can be seen everywhere here.

Large spaceship trade.

Plant life, metal life trading.

The strong hire business.

Special items treasure appraisal business.

Large auction houses.

New gambling business.

Li Qi saw a strange seven-story palace in front of him. There were three words "Pu Ya Palace" written in human language on the palace.

Chi Prison King introduced: "This is the only gambling and entertainment venue in Hongmeng, Puya Palace."

"As strong men, most of them have adventurous personalities, and they don't have much to do in their long lives. It's fun to come to Puya Palace to gamble. Wait, I'll buy a ticket number."

Under the leadership of the Chi Prison King, Li Qi entered Puya Palace and saw a large number of powerful figures.

This huge palace, which covers an area of ​​several kilometers long and wide, is very lively.

"This round of 'One in Ten Thousands', the last three ticket numbers." the Puya Palace waiter called.

"I want to buy one!" The Prison King stepped forward and bought a ticket number for 10,000 Hunyuan units.

soon.

"open!"

"open!"

The other two tickets were also sold, and next came the much-loved lottery draw, where strong men from various ethnic groups were seen shouting and laughing from time to time.

"Number 88!" The waiter shouted out the winning number.

"Missed again."

The Blazing Prison King looked at the ticket number in his hand and ignored the strong men who were venting and making noises. "Star Death King, let's go to the next place."

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded slightly.

He knew that like the 'One in a Thousand' gambling game, Puya Palace was not profitable, but rather a game to attract popularity.

After all, a treasure he takes out worth '100 million Hunyuan units' is often worth more than 100 million Hunyuan units, which is equivalent to 10,000 strong people pooling their money to buy a treasure, and then these 10,000 strong people One lucky person gets the treasure alone.

Invest 10,000 and gain 100 million. Of course, there are more losers.

However, for these strong men, playing this kind of game is more about venting and trying their luck.

"'One in Ten Thousands' is considered a small game. A real gambling game, the limit is much higher than that of 'One in Ten Thousands'. Some powerful players can gamble up to hundreds of billions or even trillions of units per game."

As he walked out, the Chi Prison King introduced: "There was a gambling game in Puya Palace thousands of years ago. I bet on which of the three monster-level geniuses of humankind today would achieve more in a million years. The amount of money involved was huge. Unbelievable!”

"Can you gamble?" Seeing that he was involved in a gambling game, Li Qi was a little surprised, "Is Puya Palace not afraid of losing money?"

"They only set up gambling games to draw players and never participate in the gambling itself."

The Chi Prison King sighed: "Pu Ya Palace is the only casino in the entire Hongmeng City. Although it has to pay taxes to Hongmeng, it is purely a business without capital."

"It is impossible to apply to Hongmeng to build a casino. There is only one casino quota, and it is Puya Palace."

"It is rumored that the backstage of this Puya Palace is a certain palace master from the Hongmeng Palace. It is even said that several palace masters jointly built this Puya Palace."

The two walked on the street, and the Blazing Prison King looked at the huge shops in the distance. "There are limits on the number of shops for various businesses. These shops can only be built with the support of the Universe Venerable. So not everyone has the opportunity to make huge profits in the Hong League."

"Of course, there are wins and losses."

"Except for a few places like Puya Palace, which are unique, many shops have limits on the number of shops, but they are not single, and there is still competition."

"Haha..."

The Blazing Prison King laughed and said, "Although we, the kings, cannot open shops, we don't need money to live in the Hong League. As long as we don't take the initiative to gamble or shop, we naturally don't need to consume. But as long as the shop is open, it needs to pay various taxes to the Hong League."

"In front is 'Yu Bao Tang', which is the best of the large number of goods shops. It is said that it was opened by a human hall master in the Hong League."

The Blazing Prison King led the way in front, "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can find what you need."

...

Yu Bao Tang is divided into two floors, and the area of ​​each floor is comparable to that of Puya Palace.

It should be noted that the Hong League is still very economical with land. For example, the residences of the immortal kings are only that big, so the shop that is several kilometers long and wide is so big that it can display so many treasures!

Li Qi entered the Yubao Hall and looked at the countless treasures that were densely packed all the way to the end of his vision.

And each treasure is accompanied by a drawing with videos, pictures, and text materials, which explain in detail the origins, special features, etc. of these treasures, as well as the selling price.

The King of Chiyu smiled and said, "How about it, there are enough treasures here, right?"

"A lot indeed." Li Qi nodded slightly.

The Blazing Prison King introduced: "Yubaotang is the best store in Hongmeng, with countless treasures on the first floor."

"There are countless precious treasures on the second floor, some of which can be purchased with Hunyuan units, and some are forbidden to be purchased with money. They must be exchanged with other treasures, and the transaction method is barter."

The Blazing Prison King explained: "You also know that there are some special treasures in the universe that are extremely rare, and some are even unique. It is difficult to offer an accurate price."

"Unique treasures may be useless to some strong people, but they are priceless treasures to some strong people. The value cannot be estimated clearly, which makes bartering become the mainstream."

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded and stopped watching.

At present, he is not short of treasures. On the contrary, he has a lot of treasure materials to sell, so he simply strolled around and left Yubaotang.

When Li Qi wandered around Hongmeng City and returned to the community with the Blazing Prison King soon, he was stopped by a powerful alien king... (End of this chapter)
