The Planet Stage was the second stage of the Eternal Realm. Below it was the Satellite Stage, and above it was the Star Stage.
Planet Stage cultivators were considered top-notch on most civilized planets. For example, Lin Zhen had yet to discover any Planet Stage cultivators on Earth. It was possible that Yan Qiye was a Planet Stage cultivator, but he couldn't be sure.
Even Earth's top experts like An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie were only in the Satellite Stage. They were nothing in the universe.
However, the two slaves in front of him were both Planet Stage Eight!
The one on the left had long yellow hair that was tied into dozens of small braids. He had a pair of dark circles under his eyes that seemed to be natural. He didn't look strong and was a little effeminate. There was a hint of viciousness in his femininity. One look and anyone could tell that he wasn't a good person.
The one on the right had two black horns on his head. He had messy hair and was about two meters tall. His muscles were unbelievably well-developed, and his face was dark. Only his eyes were shining.
There were eight more people behind him, all of whom were Planet Stage Nine.
The salesperson was afraid that Lin Zhen wasn't satisfied, so he pulled the effeminate man over. "Count, don't underestimate this effeminate man. The Empire paid a price to capture him. This guy is at the peak of Planet Stage Eight and is on the verge of a breakthrough. He can enter the Planet Stage Nine at any time if his chip is changed. He might even enter the Star Stage in the future. You'll make a killing if you buy him."
In order to control slaves, the various countries in the universe had specially developed a kind of chip to control slaves. Once the chip was installed in a slave, the slave would be absolutely loyal to his master.
The slave couldn't betray his master. If he had any thoughts of betrayal, the chip would automatically destroy him.
Unless the slave broke through the Black Hole Stage and reached the Galaxy Stage, they would have the ability to destroy the chip in their body. Therefore, Black Hole Stage slaves weren't very popular as they could easily betray their masters.
The salesperson even pried open the effeminate man's mouth. "Count, look at this guy's teeth. His body is in good condition. You can just give him some food …"
At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly interrupted him, "You said that the Empire wanted to capture him? Who is he? "
"Uh … did I say that?" The salesperson still wanted to play dumb.
"Don't play dumb with me. The AI system will record every word you say. Do you know the consequences of deliberately lying to a noble?"
Lin Zhen's expression became serious. The seller was just a citizen. If he really offended him, he even had the right to kill him on the spot. Of course, there had to be conclusive evidence.
The salesperson's expression tensed up. "Calm down, Count. I'll tell you, this person was once a deputy of the Black Pearl, a subordinate of the famous interstellar pirate Slank. The Black Pearl is Slank's ship."
"You're saying that these people are pirates?"
"Mm … They used to be. Now, they're just obedient slaves."
The salesperson had an apologetic look on his face, but at the same time, he was secretly delighted.
Lin Zhen was also somewhat speechless. No wonder the other party was so generous as to give away these ten slaves. It turned out that they were all pirates. If Slank were to find them, it would definitely be troublesome. These ten pirates would be a hot potato in Slank's hands.
It was hard to say whether one would be fooled or not. If it weren't for these troubles, the Black Pearl wouldn't be so cheap.
Since he had already bought the spaceship, it didn't matter if he got these ten pirate slaves.
"What are your names?" Lin Zhen asked.
"I'm Ronnie, the deputy captain of this Black Pearl." The sissy spoke first.
"I'm Shaq, also the deputy captain. The eight of them are the pilots and weapons controllers." The big man with horns also spoke.
Lin Zhen nodded. Since he had already bought them, there was no way he wouldn't use them. He said to the salesperson, "Give me their main chip."
The main chip that controlled the slaves was in the hands of the owner, who was also the sales supervisor here.
The sales supervisor had been waiting here for a long time. He immediately sent the data of the main chip to Lin Zhen. It was all done by an artificial life.
Soon, Chris obtained the authority, and Lin Zhen became the new owner of these ten slaves.
"You don't have to feel depressed. I'm a Count of the Empire. Following me is at least much better than following those normal citizens or knights. I can say that other than me, there probably won't be any other high-ranking noble who would be willing to recruit you."
Among the nobles, knights, barons, and viscounts were considered low-ranking nobles. Counts, marquises, and dukes were high-ranking nobles.
Ronnie and the other ten slaves nodded. Ever since they had been captured, they had become numb to fate. As for who they were with, it didn't matter. In the end, they were all slaves. Who knew if one day their master would be in a bad mood and execute them.
However, this Count in front of them didn't seem to be a bad person. Their days shouldn't be too hard.
Lin Zhen's lips curled into a smile, "You might think that your days won't be good, but I want to tell you that if you perform well, I might promote you to become a member of my Knight Corps and become a knight."
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, the ten slaves' eyes suddenly lit up!
Knights were the private soldiers of the nobles. They were also called subordinates of the nobles. Although their lives were still in the hands of their masters, they were no longer slaves in other aspects.
They could get a salary from their masters, find women, and indulge in debauchery. Apart from having to absolutely obey their masters' orders, they had unlimited freedom in other aspects. Moreover, if something happened, their masters would support them.
Only Counts and above could have a Knight Corps. This was almost the limit of the slave profession.
Ronnie said in disbelief, "Master, but we are pirates."
"What are pirates afraid of? That's your past identity. It's nothing more than an additional Black Pearl. "
"But … if Slank finds you, you'll be in trouble." Sark reminded.
"It's fine. If I were afraid of a pirate, I wouldn't have bought the Black Pearl."
Ronnie and the others looked at each other and knelt on the ground together, "We are willing to pledge our lives to the Count!"
After being captured on an island like this, they were actually able to meet a master like Lin Zhen. It was a great fortune. They even had hope of becoming knights. They were very touched.
After subduing these pirates, the energy blocks were also finished.
“OK！ Sir Count, you can now pilot your ship to gallop into the starry skies. In order to avoid bringing you any trouble, we've also covered up the logo and words of the Black Pearl. Although it's not very useful, at least it's not visible to the naked eye. "
Lin Zhen glanced at his ship. The skull and Black Pearl's logo were covered by a thin layer of deck. Although the poor quality of the deck seemed a little out of place, at least it wasn't that scary.
After the transfer procedures were completed, Lin Zhen led his ten subordinates onto the Black Pearl.
"Yahhh! I'm actually back on this ship again! My favorite seat, I'm back! "
Ronnie sat down on his original seat and spun the chair round and round.
The pirates were very excited. They returned to their familiar seats and touched here and there. Never in their dreams did they think that they would be able to return to the Black Pearl one day.
"First, drive the ship outside and find a place to park it. I still need to buy some slaves."
Lin Zhen sat in Slank's old seat. It was a huge reclining chair that could be adjusted automatically. It could be used to sit or lie down. There was also a large fridge beside it that could store all kinds of food and drinks. However, it was empty now.
There was also a bathroom behind it. There was even a swimming pool in the ship.
Leaning on the reclining chair, Lin Zhen sighed at this luxurious life. He gave the order. The pirates complied and immediately started the ship.
After leaving the ground, the ship suddenly accelerated.
With a whoosh, the ship flew out of the space museum and into the blue sky.
It slowly glided in the air and finally landed on a nearby helipad.
The helipad covered an area of over a thousand kilometers. It was almost comparable to a small country on Earth.
Ronnie said excitedly, "Master, I really want to drive the ship and take off immediately. The days back then were really carefree."
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities. You guys wait here first. I'll go buy some slaves and then we'll leave."
Ronnie and Shaq looked at each other. Ronnie blinked and then said to Lin Zhen, "Master, do you want to buy slaves?"
"Yes, this ship is limited to 30,000 passengers. There are only 11 of us here. How can this little bit of popularity be enough? I can't be too shabby when I return to my planet."
At this time, Shaq said in a low muffled voice, "Master, but the slave market is a black market. Those black-hearted slave traders are even more vicious than us pirates. They don't show any mercy when they slaughter people. Their slaves clearly don't have any abilities, but they can still praise them. People who go there for the first time will basically spend a lot of money for nothing."
Hearing this, Lin Zhen asked Crazy, "What's the situation in the slave market?"
"Master, the slave market doesn't have a standard price. Every slave is a different individual. They have different things and abilities. Even an artificial intelligence can't estimate the exact price. Not to mention, buying slaves is about fate. If you like them, it's easy to be slaughtered."
Lin Zhen was also a small character in his previous life. Although he read a lot and knew a lot of things, he really didn't know how to buy slaves.
At this time, Ronnie volunteered, "Master, how about this? Let the eight crew members wait here. Shaq and I will go to the slave market with you. We're good at this kind of thing. We definitely won't let the slave traders cheat you."
Lin Zhen nodded. Slaves were naturally loyal to him. He didn't need to worry about being cheated.
Seeing Ronnie and Shaq working so hard, Lin Zhen also wanted to give them some rewards. First, he promoted them to become members of his knight order.
Knights were high-ranking slaves that belonged to nobles. They wouldn't lose face if they went out with them. Only counts and above could confer them.
He gave Crazy an order. Crazy was now a noble's artificial intelligence and had the authority to promote knights. She immediately promoted Ronnie and Shaq to become Lin Zhen's personal knights.
From now on, Lin Zhen's words were greater than the law to them.
Ronnie and Shaq didn't expect to become knights so quickly. Their eyes were already red. They knelt in front of Lin Zhen, unable to control their emotions.
Ronnie raised his head. "Master, we are unable to repay your kindness. Look at our performance in the slave market this time. We know many people, and we will definitely pick the best out of the many slaves. We will make sure that every cent you spend is spent on the blade of the blade."
Lin Zhen nodded. He helped them up and led them out of the ship.
