Chapter 228: Cosmic Pirates Make Money so Quickly (2)

“We don’t have much of a burden robbing the devil race and the demon race, but if it’s a human starship, we’ll have to see if the other party has a backer and whether we can kill them. However, our commander will not kill anyone who surrenders,” Tutu Jie said. “Granny Bai has advised her many times that as a cosmic pirate, she shouldn’t be so soft-hearted, but she just won’t listen.”
Wang Ye nodded.
This could easily cause hidden dangers.
It didn’t matter though. Cosmic pirates were a high-risk occupation, to begin with. Even if there were no hidden dangers, there were plenty of cosmic adventurers who wanted to claim the bounty on their heads.
The first battle was a victory!
This devil race’s starship didn’t have many valuable items, only a total of a little more than 2 cosmic dollars.
After deducting 30% as the commander’s share, the remaining 10 squads would divide the gains according to their performance. The sub-captains would then deal with the detailed proportion within the squad.
The tenth squad received 12 million star points.
Tutu Jiee took 2 million star points for himself and transferred 2 million star points to Wang Ye. The remaining 8 million star points were divided equally among his brothers.
“Wang Ye, do you want to deal with the devil race equipment yourself?” Tutu Jie asked.
“Do you have any channels?” Wang Ye asked.
” Granny Bai has one. She charges a 10% commission but the earnings will be transferred directly to your account,” Tutu Jie said.
“Sure, deal with it for me.” Wang Ye had a huge debt of 10 billion, so he didn’t even care about a million star points.
Very quickly, 1.36 million star points were transferred to his account.
He had now accumulated 3.36 million star points.
Actually, it was quite a lot.
Many intermediate cosmic warriors only had a million star points.
To think cosmic pirates could make money so quickly.
“The devil race is too poor. Humans are still richer, especially the Munro Guards. 1 can earn a great profit just by getting a set of their Dark Energy level 4 equipment. When will the next target come? I’ll be able to pay off my debt then.” Wang Ye thought happily.

In the human virtual world.
Big Virtual World No.6, Ability Tower of Babel.
Seven towering ability towers stood tall, each flashing with different colors and lights.
The one in the middle was especially eye-catching. It was bathed in seven-colored light and was more magnificent than the other six towers.
Wang Ye looked at the Ability Tower of Babel from afar.
This was his first time entering.
The Martial Extreme Dojo and the Ability Tower of Babel were the training paradise that warriors and ability users dreamed of.
He did not plan to give up on any of them for the time being.
Talent was not important, as long as he could add points.
However, he had been eyeing the cosmic-level ability spells for a long time.
Other than the basic Condensation skill, he had only learned the strengthening-type One-Hit Spell among the five ability systems.
There were four left.
“Virtual Image Spell, Rein Spell, Origin Spell, and Weak Nuclear Spell.” Wang Ye thought to himself.
He put the Rein Spell and the Origin Spell aside for now.
After all, compared to his previous Spirit Spell, the control-type Rein Spell was only a slight upgrade, not much. The only difference was that the consumption of his consciousness and ability would be greatly reduced.
The Rein Spell worked by controlling the target with pressure, but it was more known as a pre-ability spell.
This was because the control-type ability spells would transform to be truly terrifying at the Dark Energy level – The Enslavement Spell!
Anyone branded with a slave mark would forever be a slave.
After reaching the Dark Energy Level, the first thing he had to learn was the Enslavement Spell, but now, the priority level of the Rein Spell was not high.
As for the Origin Spell, it was not considered because he had not learned any of the elemental-type ability spells before, so he naturally put it aside now.
Elemental-type ability spells were more suitable for pure ability users, allowing them to unleash the most destructive power among ability users.
It was not suitable for him.
“First learn the Virtual Image Spell, then the Weak Nuclear Spell.” Wang Ye quickly made a decision.
To him, these two would give him a considerable increase in strength, especially the Virtual Image Spell, which was based on the Materialization Spell and allowed a materialization of reality.
It had many auxiliary functions in battle and could also help him win by surprise.
At the same time, it was the prerequisite for releasing the Dark Energy-level ability spell, the Illusion Spell.
“Release-type ability tower.” Wang Ye came to an ability tower.
Similar to Primeval Star, this was also a projection of the human virtual cosmic.
Even so, there was still a very strong pressure and it seemed like the sky itself. Looking up, one could not see the top, as if it was really a Tower of Babel.
The ability tower was very special. It was difficult to tell whether it was real or not. It was as if it was not real in the first place, but materialized.
“How do I enter?” Wang Ye knew that there was a threshold to enter the ability towers.
If one had insufficient ability, one would be unable to enter.
The projection of the virtual cosmic was only 1/10,000 of the real Ability Tower of Babel.
It was equivalent to adding two more starting levels.
He reached out and touched the Ability Tower of Babel. With that, as if he had touched a ripple, his entire mind was suddenly shaken. A powerful shock wave struck him, seemingly wanting to kick him out of the human virtual cosmic.
The Soul Tremble Spell!
But it wasn’t too strong. It was within the acceptable range.
Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He withstood the strong pressure and stepped forward.
Whoosh!
The intense tremor disappeared and the inner part of the Ability Tower of Babel appeared before his eyes. Layers of mystical engravings were carved on it, and surging cosmic energy overflowed.
Countless ability users who were here to learn, like him, were carefully comprehending and improving their control over their ability spells.
The huge cultivation world was like the inner world of the cosmic. Mystical colors enveloped this tower.
Wang Ye quickly found the Virtual Image Spell that he wanted to cultivate.
But…
“No, this isn’t right. This is an illusion.”
It was very real, but it was an illusion.
Even though this was only the world of the human virtual cosmic, it was still an illusion.
Wang Ye got rid of distracting thoughts and focused.
There were many types of illusions. One was to make the fake seem genuine. Another was the make something real even more real.
There was also the most terrifying type: Those in the illusion knew that it was an illusion, but they still couldn’t break free. Rather, they might even sink deeper and deeper into the illusion, to the point they sink deep into the layers of illusions with their feet stuck in the mud and no way to leave.
The method to break out of such a situation was actually the two most important skills of the release system: control and willpower.
The former was the ability to control while the latter was one’s willpower.
If his strong willpower remained unmoved, his powerful ability could open a gap in the illusion.
The Condensation Spell!
Boom!
A huge amount of ability gathered, creating a huge crack in the illusion. In an instant, everything disappeared.
This time, Wang Ye really entered the Ability Tower of Babel.
So this is the threshold.” Only then did Wang Ye feel as if he was in the real world and had his feet on the ground.
Looking around, there was not much difference from before, but there was an additional sense of reality.
“One ten-thousandth of its power.” Wang Ye sighed.
The human virtual cosmic’s Ability Tower of Babel only had three levels. They were equivalent to one ten-thousandth, one hundredth, and 100% of the true ability of the tower’s first level.
Just now, he was only at the beginner level.
The next level would be a hundred times more difficult.
Wang Ye gave it a try and failed as expected.
He did not enter the illusion and was directly cut off by the Soul Tremble Spell.
“It seems that there’s no way to join the Ability Tower of Babel.” Wang Ye sighed.
The Martial Extreme Dojo and Ability Tower of Babel had always been open to all humans in the cosmic, but such an enrollment requirement was even harder.
The basic requirement of the Ability Tower of Babel was that Cosmic Lifeforms had to be able to enter the 1st level, the real one, not the one in the human virtual cosmic.
A Dark Energy Lifeform would have to be able to enter the third level, while a Super Star Lifeform would have to enter the fifth level.
An exponential increase!
And this was only the basic requirement. The applicants still had to go through many tests and selections.
“Take it slow and steady.” Wang Ye put it aside.
Who didn’t want to join the seven supreme factions of mankind?
But there were only seven of them. How could they be so easy to join?
That was the gathering of the top geniuses of humanity in the entire cosmic!
Not to mention the seven supreme factions, even the eighteen top factions of the human race would find it difficult to enter.
“Let’s cultivate first.” Wang Ye quickly found the engraving wall that represented the Virtual Image Spell and immersed himself in it.
The layers of mystical engravings seemed to interpret the mysteries of the ability spell. Through the Ability Tower of Babel, he could communicate with the world of ability in the endless cosmic.
Even though one could train one’s ability spells in the main virtual cosmic, the training effects were worlds apart from when one trained in the Ability Tower of Babel.
The Ability Tower of Babel seemed to have broken down the ability spells step by step into the most basic structure, making it easier to comprehend and improve again and again.
With the foundation of the stage 4 Condensation Spell and the comprehension in the Ability Tower of Babel, Wang Ye’s cultivation speed soared.
It only took less than a cosmic day.
[Virtual Image Spell, J]
It was very easy.
The Ability Tower of Babel’s buff was extremely strong.
Wang Ye’s cultivation speed soared.
He could even reach stage 3 in one go, though there was no need for that at the moment.
He was about to head to the transformation-type ability tower when he suddenly received a message.
It was from the only person on his friend’s list at the moment, Zhi Danli..
