The Richest Man

Lin Zhen wasn't unfamiliar with money, but he had never seen so much money before.

The owner of this Laya Star, a powerful being at the Star System Stage, probably has a penchant for collecting money. Inside a small World Stone, there was actually a pile of money!

Perhaps the area of this World Stone is not large, even smaller than some larger Space Ring, but it is definitely not small either. The length and width of the money mountain both exceed 100 meters!

Moreover, many of the coins here were ones that Lin Zhen had never seen before.

Lin Zhen held her breath and slowly walked towards the mountain of money.

The light inside the World Stone is dim, and even the light comes from some Crystal Coin inside the Money Mountain.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a point of light element gathered in his palm, turning into a bright ball of light that floated above the World Stone, instantly illuminating the area.

"That's too much money..."

Lin Zhen squatted down in front of Qian Shan, reached out, and picked up a stack of banknotes.

The banknotes all have a face value of 10,000 yuan, and the currency features a Rainbow Phoenix design.

The Rainbow Phoenix is also a Super Star River Beast. If Lin Zhen's guess is correct, this should be the currency of the Advanced Civilization Universe Country, the Fire Phoenix Empire.

"This stack of Rainbow Phoenix Coin is worth one million. If we exchange it for Sanjiang Coin, it should be worth around one billion. I just don't know whether Rainbow Phoenix Coin or Qilin Coin are more valuable."

Not all advanced Cosmic Nation have equivalent currencies. There are also differences in strength between nations, with some having Cosmic Nation of lower value and others of higher value.

The currency of the Fire Kirin Empire, for example, should be considered average among all the Cosmic Nation.

Lin Zhen picked up another metal coin, the face value of which was 100,000.

"Not all Cosmic Nation use paper money; some use metal currency, and others use both paper and metal currency."

"Among these metal currencies, Crystal Coin should be the most valuable. Let me see how many there are here?"

Searching through the pile of banknotes, most of the metal coins were at the bottom. Lin Zhen felt around on the ground and pulled out two Crystal Coin.

"There really is one million of them!"

Lin Zhen looked at the unknown pattern on it, feeling a surge of excitement.

Standing up, clutching the two Crystal Coin, and looking at this enormous mountain of money, Lin Zhen had absolutely no idea how to describe his feelings.

He couldn't even calculate the total value of these coins. The owner of that Laya Star was incredibly wealthy, and he must have a penchant for collecting coins. Lin Zhen was actually quite grateful for this penchant; without it, he wouldn't have acquired such a huge fortune.

It took Lin Zhen a long time to calm down before he began a complicated task.

Organize and categorize currencies!

He didn't complete this task alone; he specifically ordered a batch of small robots from the Tianhe Empire for it.

These small robots will start working tirelessly once a command is input. They cost 100,000 Tianhe Coin each and are generally used at home. Lin Zhen bought a thousand of them at once!

Given that Lin Zhen a major customer, purchasing robots worth hundreds of millions at a time, the delivery was very fast this time, with the robots arriving in the Ancient God City in just a few hours.

With the help of these robots, Lin Zhen only needed to have Chris input instructions into them to sort out the currency.

Three days!

For three whole days, Lin Zhen didn't go anywhere else; he just stayed in the Ancient God City sorting out the currency.

During this period, no one is allowed to enter this place, and no one knows what Lin Zhen is doing.

It wasn't that Lin Zhen didn't trust anyone, but the matter was of great importance, and if word got out, it would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Lin Zhen completed this task independently.

Three days later, on the ground of the Fourth Layer of the Ancient God City, piles of coins were neatly stacked and categorized.

The coins were all sorted and neatly arranged, like rows of walls, and their unique fragrance was intoxicating.

Colorful banknotes, gleaming gold Gold Coin, and dazzling Crystal Coin!

"Chris, just how much did you gain this time?"

"Master, because there are too many coins, it requires a very complex calculation formula. Chris can only give you a brief report."

"After three days of sorting, we discovered that all the currencies here are those of advanced Cosmic Nation, totaling 520 types. Among them, the currency of the Fire Kirin Empire amounts to 63.5 billion!"

"Over 60 billion Qilin Coin? Where are they? Take me to see them!"

Chris led Lin Zhen to a large pile of currency, where Lin Zhen finally saw these Qilin Coin.

It looked like a pile of shipping containers stacked high, with the image of the Fire Qilin on top looking incredibly majestic.

"Very good!"

Lin Zhen excitedly slapped his palm. With these Qilin Coin, he could do so many things.

Although he had a lot of money before, he was still a little worried. With so many currencies from other Cosmic Nation together, he could certainly exchange them, but it would definitely attract attention.

Although the Cosmic Bank maintains a high level of secrecy, it's inevitable that people will suspect something if you present a large quantity of other advanced Cosmic Nation currencies.

It's possible that an employee of Dimensional Universe Bank might leak it. Although the possibility of this happening is extremely small, it is a matter of great importance, and Lin Zhen has to take precautions.

In contrast, Qilin Coin are much safer. Lin Zhen can go to the Dimensional Universe Bank of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation to exchange them, where Qilin Coin are not uncommon.

Even within the Dimensional Universe, you can't just go wherever you want. Lin Zhen, as Empire Earl, has to go through an examination before he can travel to other lower-level Cosmic Nation. Chris, as an Intelligent Life, doesn't have that kind of authority.

Now that he has obtained the identity of Red Star Asura, he can travel to any Dimensional Universe location in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation. Chris's authority has been enhanced, and she no longer needs the review of the Tianhe Empire.

This is the benefit of having a higher status; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be so eager to obtain one.

Chris continued, "There are over five hundred remaining currencies, each with a total value roughly equivalent to the Qilin Coin. The highest value exceeds two hundred billion, while the lowest is over ten billion. According to our comprehensive calculations, if all these currencies were converted into Qilin Coin, their total value would be approximately thirty trillion. Congratulations, Master, you are now undoubtedly the richest person in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation!"

The sheer size of the number left Lin Zhen completely stunned!

A string of zeros flew through Lin Zhen's mind—30 trillion!

It's still the currency of an advanced Cosmic Nation, so how many Sanjiang Coin would it cost to exchange for? How many Tianhe Coin? How many Earths? Forget it, let's not include Earths in that.

Everything he envisioned was about to become a reality!

At this moment, Chris continued, "Master, based on my analysis, the master of this Laya Star is very likely not a martial artist at the Star System Stage."

"Oh! What level of martial artist would that be?"

"He should be a King of the Realms!"

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. After passing the Black Hole Stage, a martial artist is in the Triple Extremes Realm, namely the Star System Stage, the Star Region Stage, and the Star Realm Stage.

The World Stone was actually created by a master of the Star Realm Stage.

Each Star Realm Stage expert can create their own realm, which is actually somewhat similar to Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space. However, Lin Zhen obtained this space by chance, while Star Realm Stage warriors forcibly create their worlds.

Emperor Tian Hao Yu of the Fire Kirin Empire is a master of the Star Realm Stage, and is the only Star Realm Stage known to the public in the entire Cosmic Nation.

Of course, an advanced Cosmic Nation may have other Star Realm Stage, but it can no longer be ruled by an emperor.

Chris's analysis makes a lot of sense. Even a typical Star System Stage, such as Emperor Long Jue Tian of the Tianhe Empire, could not possibly possess 30 trillion units of advanced Cosmic Nation currency.

If the master of Laya Star is a World King, then Lin Zhen must protect the secret of this World Stone even more.

"Besides these Qilin Coin, I can't use any other money for the time being to avoid arousing suspicion. Even with Qilin Coin, I can't exchange them all at once. Enough for my use in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation is enough."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said to Chris, "Activate the self-destruct program on all these robots. I don't want any possibility of this matter being leaked."

"Yes, Master, I'll finish right away."

Chris immediately gave the robots instructions, and they instantly started smoking and were all destroyed.

Lin Zhen was still not entirely at ease, so he burned all the robots in one go, ensuring that no one would be able to find a single Spider Silk Traces.

After doing all this, Lin Zhen took out some Qilin Coin from the World Stone.

"The Universe First Bank branch of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation must also have different membership levels. If I exchange one trillion Sanjiang Coin at once, I will become a very high-level member."

Lin Zhen took out one billion Qilin Coin and put them into his Space Ring. The next moment, he had already entered the Dimensional Universe.

********

The capital of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation is called Baichuan Star, a large planet ten times larger than Emerald Star.

Even a star like the Sun is just a small planet compared to it.

The Three Rivers refers to the confluence of three Heavenly River. This planet and its surrounding satellites have hundreds of wormholes alone! It can be described as a uniquely advantageous transportation hub.

With a population of nearly one trillion on the entire planet, Lin Zhen had no time to admire the bustling prosperity of Baichuan Star and went directly to Baichuan Star's Universe First Bank.

The initial deposit here is 100 million Sanjiang coins. Lin Zhen also has 400 million Sanjiang Coin in his hand, but he didn't use them at all. Instead, he directly deposited 100 million Qilin Coin!

One hundred million is a Bronze member, one billion is a silver member, ten billion is a gold member, and one hundred billion is a platinum member.

If Lin Zhen deposits one trillion Sanjiang coins, he will become Diamond member!

Diamond membership is the highest level at the Sanjiang Star Region Federation Bank. When all the bank staff stood up and bowed to Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen finally felt the immense allure of wealth.

"With this money, I can not only solve many urgent problems, but I can also better arm myself."

"My homeland, my territory, must be protected by a powerful force, and I, the Sun Lord, can finally make my official debut!"
