Chapter 211 - 211: Slave Market
Squad 10 gathered at Dojo No.io.
“Brother Jie, you can do it!”
“Newcomer, defeat the sub-captain!”
“Wow, wow, wow! The newcomer is so fierce! Is he really a cosmic-level 1? Brother Jie is being suppressed!”
The pirates watched the duel while munching on melon seeds.
They didn’t know Wang Ye. They only knew that he was a human from a colony planet and Sister Min had saved him, then arranged for him to join Squad 10.
They did not expect him to be so powerful.
To think at cosmic level 1, he was able to fight evenly with their captain, Tutu Jie!
The sword lights were intertwined in battle.
“Awesome, awesome. If this continues, I might lose,” Tutu Jie said with a bitter smile as he put away his weapon.
“Maybe I’ll be the one who loses.” Wang Ye put away his two sabers.
In the cosmic pirate groups, one’s background wasn’t important. What was important was strength. Without it, no one would take a fancy to one.
One could become a captain of the ten squads by challenging the existing captains.
As long as a squad member could defeat the captain in a one-on-one battle, they would be able to obtain the position.
“Haha, in the future, with you and I working together, Squad 10 won’t be weak anymore.” Tutu Jie smiled widely.
“Captain, don’t be too happy. You might even lose your position as captain soon.” The members below gloated.
“F*ck off! Can’t I improve?! Anyway, it’s not embarrassing to lose to one of our own,” He scolded jokingly. “If Wang Ye is one day stronger than me, I’ll give up the position willingly.”
“I’m stronger than you now…” Wang Ye thought to himself.
Tutu Jie was the weakest of the ten captains. He was slightly more powerful than Tieshan, but far inferior to Lu Jie.
If Wang Ye were to unleash all of his current combat prowess in a one-on-one duel, he would be even stronger than Lu Jie, which meant he could naturally win against Tutu Jie.
However, there was no need for that. He had just joined the Hurricane Pirates and was unfamiliar with the place. There was no need for him to stand out and cause trouble.
He could just quietly stay on the ship. Whether or not he would board the ship again after arriving at Xiapu Planet was still unknown, so why would he want to be a sub-captain?
The days on the ship were simple and peaceful.
Wang Ye gradually blended into this simple environment.
The cosmic pirates came from all over the world. Some came from territories, but most of them were from colony planets.
Many had slave marks on their bodies. There were homeless people, orphans, and even those who were born and raised on the ship.
For example, the captain of the first squad, Asahiko, grew up on the big ship. Such cosmic pirates tend to be more loyal, so he had been sent to the small ship to take on the responsibility of protecting the young miss.
Wang Ye had never seen Asahiko before.
These days, apart from his daily routine and training in his room, he had been hanging out with his brothers in Squad 10.
They were purely brothers for fun.
That being said, the cosmic pirates had traveled in the Taishi Starfield and left their sperm on all the planets, so they had a lot of information that Xin Ran didn’t have.
Reading ten thousand books was not as good as walking ten thousand miles.
Especially…
“Brother, if you have the chance, you must try a devil race’s woman. 1 guarantee that you will never forget it!” Hong Wei had disproportionately sized eyes, making him look very strange.
This was because his left eye had been dug out by a demon on the battlefield, and it had been implanted and repaired later.
“Oh, how so?” Wang Ye asked as he ate the roasted meat.
“Strong! Tight! Powerful! They don’t know fatigue! Crazy!” Hong Wei’s face was filled with excitement. “This kind of collision is not only exciting, but it also gives you a sense of conquest!”
He could picture that.
Wang Ye suddenly thought of Hyena, the man who first discovered such joy on the Blue Planet.
He was taken away by the Hongqi Supernet and should be working as a laborer on a mineral planet now…
“Did you capture a devil on the battlefield?” Wang Ye liked chatting with Hong Wei.
It wasn’t because they shared the same interests but because the other party had fought in the military camp before.
He later became a deserter after a defeated battle. Since he couldn’t return to the military camp, he could only become a cosmic pirate.
“No. Devils are much harder to capture than demons.” Hong Wei shook his head. “They will often fight to the death. Only the especially strong centurions or chiliarchs can capture devils. However, those are all Dark Energy-level experts. 1 am just a cosmic-level soldier, so how can I have such ability?”
His voice was full of self-mockery. Hong Wei drank a large mouthful of wine, his eyes dim.
The cosmic level was only the lowest level in the military camp.
“Then where did you get a taste of a devil? Are there such strange and interesting brothels on life planets?” Wang Ye asked curiously.
“Hey, brother, you don’t understand.” Hong Wei grinned and raised his eyebrows. “What do the human life planets not have? Let alone the most numerous devil race and demon race women, they have more than half of the ten thousand races in the cosmic. Only your imagination limits you. That being said, those are all treasures. They have good looks and figures, and they’re specialized in serving people, making them extraordinarily fun but quite expensive.”
Good heavens, the cosmic humans had really trained their “sword” techniques to the extreme!
Wang Ye sighed.
He was too shallow.
“If you want to find excitement, 1’11 tell you a secret method,” Hong Wei lowered his voice and said. “Go to the slave market to search for treasures! The goods are cheap and good. Although the good-looking ones are usually filtered out, the devil race’s women are the same after the lights are turned off. Every one of them has an especially voluptuous figure!”
Perverts were really omnipotent… They could think of anything.
Why didn’t they just have the devil race women get plastic surgery?
However, Hong Wei’s words gave Wang Ye an inspiration.
The slave market!
The cosmic monsters that were transported to the colony planets were the demons and devils that were captured on the battlefield.
What did he lack the most now?
Potential points, which were almost equivalent to his strength.
“If it works, 1 don’t need to rush to the battlefield.” Wang Ye thought to himself.
Just as Xin Ran had said, cosmic-level cultivators could very well become cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it was extremely dangerous.
What if he could buy a large number of demon race slaves in the slave market and kill them?
Money was not a problem. The biggest problem was that those beings were “slaves”. Could he obtain potential points out of these enslaved demonic beasts or great demons?
“I’ll know once I reach Xiapu Planet.”

100 cosmic days passed very quickly.
“Swoosh.” Another four-star energy crystal dimmed and was exhausted.
Wang Ye opened his interface.
Level 3 cosmic ability user, 69%. Level 2 cosmic warrior, 87%.
Energy crystals made cultivation really fast, especially the high-grade four-star energy crystals.
Unfortunately, the Munro Guards had left him too little.
One four-star energy crystal could be consumed in a cosmic day, and by now, over a hundred were almost used up.
Although he still had a large number of three-star energy crystals left by Munro King Amber, his cultivation efficiency would undoubtedly drop by a lot.
“Has your cultivation ended?” Xin Ran had her hair tied into a bun. She put down the book in her hand and smiled at Wang Ye.
After spending 100 cosmic days together, the two of them were like husband and wife. If it weren’t for Wang Ye’s control, they would have had two children already.
“Yes.” Wang Ye looked outside through the window of his room. In the distance was a cosmic sky that seemed to be shrouded in a hazy cloud.
A few days ago, the Hurricane Pirates had left the Oort Cloud. They were now in the Chixie family’s Colony System 1869.
The huge star shone brightly. Planets revolved around the star, just like in the Solar System.
There were more than ten planets here, but there was not even a single life planet. There was only a slightly valuable mineral planet.
The planets in the cosmic were divided into four categories: Life planets with the highest average value, the secondary mineral planets, the most common energy planets, and special planets.
The number of life planets was less than 1%, and less than 1/10,000 of them were the lowest-level four-star life planets that could nurture intelligent life.
However, if one looked at the entire Milky Way, the number would be much higher.
If the territory was expanded to the entire Taishi Starfield, the number of life planets above four stars would be close to 10 trillion, and the human, demon, and demon races controlled more than 80%.
A four-star colony planet was really small.
“We’re almost at the wormhole.” Xin Ran looked at Wang Ye, her expression uncertain.
“After passing through the wormhole, we’ll soon reach the five-star life planet three light years away, Xiapu Planet.” Wang Ye was also looking forward to it.
He could feel Xin Ran’s emotions. It was filled with love and reluctance.
Arriving at Xiapu Planet meant that the two of them were about to part ways.
Who knew when they would meet again?
However, they had their paths to take. They had dreams and goals.

Xiapu Planet artificial wormhole No.11.
A luxurious cosmic warp starship was docked on the artificial wormhole No.11, monitoring every nuclear-powered starship that was coming and going.
The left sub-captain Munro Moulao and the right sub-captain Munro Mengju took turns to be in charge.
Every three cosmic days, they would exchange surveillance.
“Captain, there’s a nuclear-powered starship passing through the wormhole.” A team member received the data and reported it.
“Oh?” Munro Mengju looked at the information carefully. “A cosmic pirate group?”
“A two-star pirate group. They don’t have much fame or records. They should be newly formed. Should we intercept them?” The team member asked.
“Search the other party’s network and initiate a communication request.” Munro Mengju said.
“Yes.”
Soon, it was connected.
“Hello, I’m from the third team of the Munro Guards,” Munro Mengju said seriously.
“What’s the matter?” An old and kind voice sounded.
“Where are you guys from?” Munro Mengju asked.
“Why should I tell you?” The old voice was calm and arrogant.
Munro Mengju said, “It’s like this. We’re tracking down two humans who escaped from a colony planet. They’re from Colony Planet 996 of the Munro family. Have you seen them before?”
“Your investigation is none of our business! Never mind the fact that we don’t know, but even if we do, we don’t have the obligation to tell you.” The old voice sneered.
Pa!
The call was cut off.
Munro Mengju’s expression changed.
It was very difficult to deal with the cosmic pirate groups. This was especially true for a two-star cosmic pirate group that seemed to be formed under the command of a big ship.
They had no idea how powerful the other party was and whether the Munro Guards could afford to offend them.
“What do we do now, captain? Should we intercept them?” The squad member asked.
“No need.” Munro Mengju shook his head.
It wasn’t a wise decision to provoke a two-star pirate group. They wouldn’t reason with them. If they were to force them, it was very likely that they would end up having to fight each other.
“They should be just passing by to resupply on Xiapu Planet. It’s better to avoid trouble. Continue monitoring,” Munro Mengju said.
“Yes, captain..”
