Star Odyssey

ess even on a battlefield.
Whenever possible, Elder Daggs preferred to do business with this youth, as that allowed the elder to see what he was paying for.
This kid had selflessly provided numerous pills, and his contributions for the last battle had been beyond excessive, which had led to Lu Yin receiving Yuan Shi’s deep appreciation.
Thus, Elder Daggs had no way to reject this youth, but he also did not want to give away too much.
All he could do was allow this youth to request what he wanted as a reward and then pray that the requests would not be too exaggerated.

Lu Yin suddenly looked excited.
“Could Elder take Junior to take a look at the Hall of Honor’s treasury?”

Elder Daggs felt a chill run down his spine.
“Don’t you just want some resources? You can just tell me what you would like.
Why is there a need to take a look at the treasury?”

Lu Yin blinked.
 “Those are Yuan Shi’s instructions.”

Elder Daggs swallowed nervously.
“Actually, after these recent battles, the Hall of Honor isn’t as well-off anymore.” 

“I never said that I wanted money, though, of course, the money that belongs to me needs to be paid back.
I remember that, back then, Elder mentioned that, after the battle, not only would great quantities of star essence be given to me, but large amounts of military contributions would be given as well,” Lu Yin said with a smile.

Elder Daggs pursed his lips.
“Your service is more than enough, and your current status has even surpassed mine.” 

Lu Yin clapped his hands together.
“Even better! As the Allied Forces’ Commander, do I not qualify to visit my own treasury?” 

My own treasury? These words made Elder Daggs’s hair stand on end, but he was completely helpless at this moment.
“Please.”

Lu Yin truly wanted to follow Elder Daggs to take a tour of the Outerverse Hall of Honor’s treasury, but no matter what Elder Daggs said out loud, he did not want to take Lu Yin anywhere near that place.
In the end, the two of them arrived at Southside Weave’s battlefield treasury.

It was not that Lu Yin had never visited one of the Hall of Honor’s treasuries before, but rather that this was his first time visiting a main one and not a simple branch treasury.

The main treasury for the border defense was not too far from where Yuan Shi stayed, as the Hall of Honor was worried about their stores being pillaged.
When they had been preparing for the Sixth Mainland’s invasion , the Fifth Mainland had not been completely united, and forces such as the Neohuman Alliance were very likely to take advantage of such a situation to wreak havoc.
Thus, the Hall of Honor had specifically placed the treasury close to Yuan Shi.
With him protecting it, nobody would dare to attack it. 

Elder Daggs stood in outer space as the two of them looked down at a very ordinary-looking planet. 

Lu Yin was puzzled.
“The warehouse is on that planet?”

Elder Daggs’s lips twitched.
“That planet is the warehouse.”

Lu Yin was completely lost.
“What do you mean?”

Elder Daggs repeated, “That planet is the warehouse.”

Lu Yin was stumped, but after he came to his senses, he was stunned.
“Are you saying that the planet, the entire planet, is the warehouse?”

Elder Daggs nodded. 

Lu Yin was left in a daze, and he stared at the planet, completely dumbfounded.
Was he serious? Although the planet was not that big, only about as large as Earth’s moon, which was much smaller than Earth itself, that was still too ridiculous.
How many resources could an entire planet hold?

“The cultivators normally stationed at the border warfront number in the billions, and that doesn’t even include the mandatory conscription that was sent out to the whole Outerverse.
This is the border’s main warehouse, and there are also branch warehouses.
Still, we don’t have enough resources.
Back during the defense of the astral cemetery, many powers had to pay for their troops’ expenses out of their own pockets, and they did not even gain any resources from the border,” Elder Daggs explained. 

Lu Yin marveled, “Only the Hall of Honor could have an entire planet as a warehouse.
Right, Elder, how much star essence is here?” 

Elder Daggs muttered to himself, obviously not wanting to say anything, but after he glanced over at Lu Yin and saw the youth’s determined expression, the elder helplessly revealed, “It’s not very polite to speak of a concrete amount, and it’s also a little muddled.
However, there should be several hundreds of millions on this planet.”

Lu Yin’s mouth actually fell open, and he suddenly felt that he was in poverty and was truly too poor.
In the past, he had actually been excited by the meager amount of wealth that he had carried on himself, believing that he had escaped from poverty.
However, at this moment, he understood the true meaning of wealth. 

The Hall of Honor was wealthy, as they easily had several hundreds of millions of star essence.
What a joke! 

Lu Yin suddenly remembered the endless amounts of star essence that he had seen beneath the transportation continent’s mountain ranges.
There had easily been several billions of star essence. 

Only by comparing would one even understand the difference, and Lu Yin was suddenly a bit embarrassed by the meager amount that he carried in his cosmic ring.
It was no wonder why, when Elder Daggs had bought items from Lu Yin, there had never been any haggling; there was simply no need for it. 

Elder Daggs coughed, and his eyes flickered.
“Let’s head on down.”

“Seventh Bro, this guy isn’t telling you the truth! Look at how bad his acting is and how his beady little eyes are darting all over the place.
There’s definitely got to be more than several hundred million star essence!” the Ghost Monkey shouted.

Lu Yin looked over at the elder.

Elder Daggs had a rather guilty look as he stepped forward and disappeared.

Lu Yin’s lips pursed; if it was not just a few hundred million, then could it be a few billion star essence?

A single mountain range could hold around 100 million star essence, and just this planet alone could have multiple mountain ranges.
However, not everything on this planet would be star essence, and the majority of the resources on this planet should be cultivation resources, food, ores, and other similar items, not to mention star crystals.
After all, the Outerverse typically used star crystals rather than star essence as its primary currency. 

Even cultivators in the Cruiser realm might not qualify to cultivate with star essence, and most of them probably still used star crystals.
This suddenly made things more reasonable.
If even just 100 million star essence were exchanged for star crystals, then the amount would be staggering.
One star essence was worth 100,000 star crystals, which meant that such an exchange would require 100,000 mountain ranges of star crystals.
To use an entire planet as a warehouse suddenly did not seem too exaggerated when one thought on this scale. 

Lu Yin stepped out and entered the planet’s atmosphere.

The environment on the planet was pretty good, and it seemed to be untouched and absent of any large creatures.
It was as if this planet had only just started to give rise to primordial organisms.

Just a glance was enough to see the piles of resources, unique spacecraft, and star crystals laying around in unending mountain ranges.
The star essence were the seas.

Lu Yin quickly caught up to Elder Daggs.
“Elder, please give me an introduction.”
