Chapter 837: Wang Dachui of the Divine Tycoon Civilization
After docking the spaceship at the spaceport, Fang Jueyu followed the crowd along the track elevator to the surface of Camel Planet.
"Oh no, I forgot to disguise myself!" Fang Jueyu suddenly remembered something.
Ever since he entered the Cosmic Federation School, he hadn't mingled much in the cosmic civilization, but the legend of the Divine Wealth Civilization still circulated throughout the universe, and their image had deeply taken root in people's hearts. A young person accompanied by a dog or cat was the hallmark of the Divine Wealth Civilization!
Although Fang Jueyu's aura had changed quite a bit before, solely relying on this characteristic made it easy for others to associate him with the Divine Wealth Civilization, which might cause some trouble.
"Host, don't flatter yourself. No one would notice you!" Xiao Yi said. "Look at 56.5 degrees, 212 meters ahead of you!"
"What? Looking at a beauty?" Fang Jueyu had already spotted quite a few alien beauties along the way, but he only admired them with his eyes.
But if Xiao Yi specifically pointed it out, it must be a top-tier beauty!
Fang Jueyu couldn't control his eyes and glanced in the direction Xiao Yi mentioned, and indeed, there was a rare beauty with a slender figure, gray-white hair, and a sweet face, as if she had stepped out from a two-dimensional world.
However, what attracted Fang Jueyu was not that, but the fact that the girl was holding a dog!
Yes, it wasn't any creature that looked like a dog. Fang Jueyu could bet it was definitely a purebred Siberian Husky! Because the dog was now arguing with a burly man over two meters tall.
Suddenly, the beauty let go of the leash, and the Husky instantly acted like it was being choked, tucking its tail and hiding behind the beauty, making "woof woof" sounds.
"Damn, this is unbelievable. If this thing isn't the purest breed of Siberian Husky, I'll eat dog poop upside down!" Fang Jueyu could bet his bottom dollar it was a Husky, no doubt!
"Strange, how did this Husky end up on an alien planet? It's just unbelievable!"
"Host, it's not just the Husky, there's more!"
"Huh?" Fang Jueyu looked around and suddenly found a Teddy bravely challenging a Bogrot Unicorn!
This Bogrot Unicorn looked like a lizard with a horn, but its body wasn't covered in scales. Instead, it had beautiful white fur.
This species was a pet favored by the upper class of cosmic civilization. Their attack power wasn't strong, but an adult Bogrot Unicorn could easily kill a Hidden Elementer.
Yet, this Teddy was merely an ordinary one-year-old male dog, and it dared to openly challenge a creature that could crush it with a slap. The reputation of the Tairitian Clan's temerity was certainly well-deserved!
"French Bulldog! Pekingese! Shiba Inu! Tibetan Mastiff! Labrador! Golden Retriever! Damn, what on earth is happening?" Fang Jueyu kept walking and encountered all sorts of dogs.
Not only that, but even British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, Chinchillas, Ragdolls, and Sphinx Hairless Cats were now ubiquitous!
If it weren't for the fact that these people looked vastly different from Earthlings, Fang Jueyu almost felt like he was back on Earth.
"Host, you should ask Wang Cong about this!"
"Huh?" Fang Jueyu was a bit curious. What did this have to do with Wang Cong?
"Host, after the Cosmic Federation entrance exam, you became completely famous, bringing along the Divine Wealth Civilization, along with your Er Gouzi and Xiao Hei, into the limelight."
"And then?"
"Given Earth's current level of civilization, it's possible to preliminarily improve the genetics of organisms to start adapting them to other civilizations' environments. Wang Cong spent a lot of effort cultivating a batch of cat and dog pets that could adapt to various life environments, and then sold them through the Cosmic Chain Supermarket."
"This guy is truly a business prodigy!" Fang Jueyu didn't have to think to know that once these pets hit the cosmic civilization market, they'd be snapped up in no time.
The first batch of cats and dogs, a hundred thousand of them, even an ordinary tabby cat fetched a staggering 10 billion Cosmic Coins, and the noble breeds went for ten to a hundred times more.
Yet, despite these unbelievable prices, they all sold out within an hour after the news spread.
Even though people were quite disappointed with them on arrival, as these cats and dogs weren't as powerful as the legendary Cosmic Beasts, young people didn't need pets to protect them. They just needed to satisfy their inner vanity.
It was as if raising a cat or dog made them feel as confident as the people of the Divine Wealth Civilization.
For today's youth in cosmic civilization, owning a cat or dog was a symbol of power, status, and wealth!
Now Wang Cong had even leased many nearby planets and started large-scale breeding of cats and dogs. Since they were all sterilized before sale, it was a near-monopolistic business in cosmic civilization, even reaching a supply-and-demand shortage.
"This kid is truly cut out for business!" Fang Jueyu checked the news from Earth and saw that Wang Cong was now the richest person in the galaxy!
"Enough about him, let's go register first!" Fang Jueyu said.
"Host, that's not possible. Only certified Artifact Refiners can participate in the competition, and you currently don't have an official title!"
"What a hassle!" Fang Jueyu rolled his eyes. "So what should I do?"
"Don't worry, Host. This is the center for Cosmic Artifact Refiners, and many have just learned artifact refining from reclusive experts. The organizers have set up examination sites in many cities. As long as you pass the assessment, you're good to go."
"That easy? Alright, I'll take it without preparation. Back in school, I was the king of surprise exams, scoring a perfect low-flying pass with 433 points in the English proficiency test."
...
"Artifact Refiner Guild, it's really grand!" Fang Jueyu arrived in front of an imposing building with a conspicuous emblem of a hammer and a longsword.
"Why does this look so familiar? If you replaced the longsword with a sickle, I'd think our party had extended into alien civilizations!" Fang Jueyu muttered as he was about to walk inside.
"Stop!" A guard in armor blocked Fang Jueyu. "Young man, this is the Artifact Refiner Guild. If you have no business here, it's best not to enter."
"A Martial Artist of the ninth rank is guarding the door?" Fang Jueyu immediately discerned the guard's strength.
"I'm here to register for the exam!" Fang Jueyu said.
"You?" Fang Jueyu had concealed his aura, but based on his life force, it was clear he wasn't even a hundred years old. A person under a hundred taking the Artifact Refiner exam? He probably hadn't even started yet.
"Young brother, it's not that I'm underestimating you, but you might be too inexperienced to take the Artifact Refiner exam."
"You..." Siria was about to lose her temper. This small Artifact Refiner Guild dared to look down on them. He almost wanted to smash this broken planet with a slap!
"It's fine!" Fang Jueyu waved it off. "So how can I prove I have the ability?"
"That's simple. An Artifact Refiner needs a strong Soul Power to control the details when materials melt. If you can leave a mark on that Soul Melt Stone, you can enter!"
The Soul Melt Stone is a peculiar mineral. It's very brittle and could shatter if accidentally dropped.
However, it's also extremely hard, even high-grade metal can't easily scratch it.
Attempting to leave a mark on it with external force would shatter the stone due to its brittleness before any mark could be made. To leave a clear mark, you need significant spiritual power.
Achieving this level of spiritual power is already close to the minimum standard for an Artifact Refiner.
"Easy!" Fang Jueyu glanced at it, and a formidable spiritual power instantly left several words on it.
"Done!"
"What?" The security guard was stunned. Even an official Artifact Refiner would carefully etch for a few seconds to leave a mark without breaking the Soul Melt Stone. But in just a second, did he think he was a master refiner?
"Hey! You can't go in!" The guard moved to block him.
But a wave of the Controller's power erupted from Fang Jueyu, knocking him back several steps.
"A...Controller? Under a hundred years old? How is that possible?" The guard's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Wait, the Soul Melt Stone!" He abruptly thought of something and quickly rushed to the Soul Melt Stone.
The mark left on the Soul Melt Stone wasn't just a scratch, but beautifully clear Cosmic Universal Script, etched deeply.
"Divine Wealth Civilization Wang Dachui!"
"Divine Wealth Civilization!" The guard's expression was extremely complex. "They've come again?"
