Xu Jingming listened. Punishment? How you punish one of your own is up to you.

"We are willing to pay the price of 100 trillion cosmic dollars for your forgiveness," Du Lingchen said respectfully.

Xu Jingming's heart stirred slightly.

100 trillion cosmic dollars? This price was relatively high even for the Black Moon civilization!

Although an undeveloped habitable planet was worth about 100 billion cosmic dollars, the development and construction of an habitable planet also required a huge investment. If the entire planet was installed with a virtual mainframe, the price would be even higher.

Under normal circumstances, a fully constructed habitable planet was worth about 500 billion. Those that were built especially extravagantly didn't have a ceiling on the price.

100 trillion cosmic dollars was enough to buy 200 fully constructed habitable planets. It could even buy a relatively poor and desolate galactic territory.
