Chapter 843 - 843 Astronomical Teleportation! Lack of Money!
843 Astronomical Teleportation! Lack of Money!
They sped north!
After passing through North Pacifying City, there was an endless ocean.
This vast world was divided into nine continents. Excluding the four deserted continents at the edge, all that was left were the four continents: East, West, North, and South.
There was also the central continent in the middle, it was also called the Starlight Continent!
It was said that in the distant Starlight Era, there was a Starlight General in each of the four continents!
While guarding the four directions, they also protected the Starlight Continent in the middle!
However, no one knew what they were protecting at that time.
Perhaps only the Starlight Hall and the Heavenly Book Academy, which still existed, knew.
Between these five continents, there were endless oceans. As a result, in the Third World, the area of the ocean world was far larger than the land area.
The depths of the sea were filled with countless natural treasures and rare beasts.
Even so, no one dared to walk into the depths of the sea because there were countless deep-sea monsters inside.
Even a divine-grade expert would easily die if they were not careful.
As for Chu Feng and the others, they had to cross the ocean between the Southern Continent and the Starlight Continent.
The journey was arduous and dangerous. Along the way, there were only some small islands for them to rest on.
Fortunately, there was no need to go into the water. Although it was very dangerous, it was not a big problem for Chu Feng and the group of divine-grade experts.
Mo Tianji introduced the basic common knowledge of the Starlight Continent to everyone in detail.
Yao Ling’er added from time to time.
The long journey was quite boring, so it was fun to listen.
Chu Feng could guarantee that this journey was the longest he had ever taken.
It actually took half a month!
Other than resting twice along the way, he was on the way the rest of the time.
Even Chu Feng could not help but sigh.
During the month he had been in the River of the Netherworld, his strength had soared from the Heaven Martial Realm to the divine rank! But now, half a month was actually only used for traveling!
The increase in his strength was minimal!
To Chu Feng, who was used to riding a rocket to improve, it was extremely uncomfortable.
No wonder the Heavenly Book Academy had set the date for the Stargate to open to be three months later.
If warriors rushed over from the edge of other continents, it would take at least a month or two!
Chu Feng’s complaint was heard by the others.
Yao Ling’er rolled her eyes.
“Do you even hear yourself?”
“This is the norm for cultivators, alright?! Who doesn’t cultivate in years?”
“Do you think everyone is like you guys? After just a while, your strength would double!”
“Anyway, I’ve made up my mind to follow you this time!”
“But don’t worry, if you encounter trouble, I’ll be the first to help! I won’t drag you down! If there’s really no other way, the Fiend Celestial Palace has a group of friends. I’ll bring them all over!”
Chu Feng could not help but smile.
“No one chased you away. If you want to follow me, follow me. As long as you contribute, I, Chu Feng, will not mistreat you.”
This had always been Chu Feng’s style.
Although he usually liked to take advantage of others, he was never stingy with his companions and friends!
Perhaps it was because of this that such a large group of geniuses had gathered around him!
Furthermore, Yao Ling’er was a genuine person. Perhaps most demons were like this. They were straightforward and did not beat around the bush.
It was easy to get along with them.
At this moment, Mo Tianji also poked his head over and interrupted.
“Soon, soon, we’re almost there! It’ll be fine when we reach the Starlight Continent. The Heavenly Book Academy has set up short-range teleportation stargates all over the Starlight Continent. As long as we pay a fee, we can use them, greatly reducing the time to travel.”
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
“This is good! If the time of experts is used for traveling, that would be a huge waste!”
When Mo Tianji heard this, he retorted angrily, “Boss, you’re wrong again.”
“Actually, to most warriors and even divine-grade experts in the Starlight Continent, very few people are willing to use that Teleportation Stargate!”
Chu Feng looked at Mo Tianji in confusion.
Mo Tianji said helplessly, “Because it’s too expensive!”
“Every time you use the Stargate, it will cost a large amount of energy! Do you think the Heavenly Book Academy is some charity organization!”
“This money has to be paid by the user. Moreover, the Heavenly Book Academy has to make a profit…”
Chu Feng’s eyes widened.
“Damn! So dirty?! And this profit is too terrifying!”
They didn’t have to do anything. They could become rich just by collecting the tolls.
Yao Ling’er grinned.
“This is the power of technology. Who asked them to have strong technology?”
Mo Tianji continued.
“Even if it’s just a short-range teleportation, each person will need at least hundreds of thousands of drops of Star Domain Essence each time. The energy consumed is different depending on the ranks of warriors, so the fee will naturally be different.”
“And even an ordinary divine-grade expert’s total assets are probably only about 40,000 to 50,000 drops of Star Domain Essence. The teleportation of 40 to 50 times will squeeze them dry!”
“That’s the lifetime accumulation of a divine-grade expert!”
“Therefore, ordinary divine-grade experts would rather spend months or even years traveling by themselves than be extravagant enough to use the Stargate teleportation…”
“After all, to them, unless they risk their lives, sometimes they might not be able to earn a few thousand drops of Star Domain Essence in a year or two. How can they dare to waste it like this…”
As he spoke, Mo Tianji glanced at his group and was speechless.
“There are dozens of us… The price of teleportation is probably at least ten thousand drops of Star Domain Essence!”
Mo Tianji suddenly gave an extremely terrifying number.
Chu Feng nearly cried out in alarm.
So expensive?!
Robbery?!
Chu Feng clearly remembered.
He seemed to only have 10,000 drops of Star Domain Essence left.
This was left after participating in the three-star treasure appraisal meeting in Yunzhou City.
There was no need for this thing in the River of the Netherworld. Cultivation also had the Spring of Life to squander. Thus, Chu Feng had never taken it seriously.
However, he did not expect to be dealt a critical blow the moment he came out!
In this world, money was needed!
The Star Domain Essence was money!
Now, there might not be enough money!
Looking at the team behind him, Chu Feng sighed helplessly. The Star Domain Essence on him was probably only enough for everyone to teleport once.
Then… he would go bankrupt?
Chu Feng smacked his lips and sighed.
“This place is indeed different. The consumption level is too high!”
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Chu Feng’s eyes widened and he hurriedly asked, “Um… Do you think there will be a fee for that super-long-distance technological stargate three months later?”
“I remember that the announcement didn’t say that there was a fee, right? Will it be free?”
Mo Tianji rolled his eyes and said angrily, “Don’t struggle needlessly. I can tell you very clearly that there will be a fee! And… it will be very expensive!”
