Qiu Long Star, Universe First Bank.

Thirteenth floor, inside a luxurious and comfortable reception room.

"1492--8576--JJJS--6528--6285--082." After sitting down, Jin Yu spoke decisively in the universal language. "This is the account number. I want to withdraw money."

"Please wait a moment."

The Metal Robot smiled. A moment later, it said, "Please provide a Golden Horned Beast horn and place it on the contact plate on my arm." A strange black-gold contact plate suddenly extended from its metal arm.

"A beast horn?" Jin Yu smiled. He had long been prepared.

The Golden Horned Beast's horn itself counted as a type of Psionic Weapon and could be removed. He was currently carrying one of his clone's horns.

According to the Inherited Memory, one of the procedures for withdrawing money was to provide a Golden Horned Beast horn in order to pass verification.

With a thought, Jin Yu took the horn from his Space Ring and placed it on the contact plate.

"Beep!"

"Data confirmed!"

The Metal Robot looked at Jin Yu. "Please enter the Triple Four-Dimensional Band Password. Esteemed guest, you may choose thought input, voice input, or manual input."

The Triple Four-Dimensional Band Password was extremely complicated. It constantly changed according to factors such as time and spatial coordinates. Based on the original password, the current time, spatial coordinates, psionic level, and other data, a new password for that moment would be calculated. Moreover, the calculation method had been set by the Golden Horned Beast back then.

And there were three full layers of such passwords!

"What a long password." Jin Yu connected his Smart Optical Computer to the Universe First Bank system, then entered the password with his thoughts.

"Check balance." Jin Yu gave the command with anticipation filling his heart.

Nervous! Uneasy!

His former self had been a World Master level existence capable of rivaling a Marquis level being. But such existences also spent money at an astonishing rate. How much cash had it actually left behind? Jin Yu was not very confident either...

Although the Inherited Memory stated that it had left behind 5 million Hun Yuan units, who knew what that Golden Horned Beast had been thinking? Had it really left that money behind, or not?

"Even at the lowest, it can't be less than an Immortal's assets. There should be at least eighty or a hundred Hun Yuan units, right?" Jin Yu silently prayed.

"Beep!"

Data appeared on the screen of Jin Yu's wrist guard. That long string of numbers made his eyes blur.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands... Damn, hundred million, 156,828,658?" Jin Yu stared at the currency symbol at the end. "Hun Yuan units?"

"Over 150 million Hun Yuan units!" Jin Yu's eyes lit up completely, and his face was filled with wild joy.

What was going on? Why was there so much more? Had some investment project made a profit? Or was it some kind of insurance?

Holy shit! Old Gold was too generous!

It seemed his former self had been doing extremely well! One had to know that most Immortal Gods invested most of their assets into secret techniques, weapons, spacecraft, and the like. It was already impressive if their liquid assets accounted for a tenth of their wealth.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Even all the assets Old Master left you don't come close to a fraction of this money, Jin Yu—you've struck it rich!" Babata was first utterly shocked, then overcome with ecstatic joy.

What kind of inheritance was this, to have left behind such an enormous sum of money?

Jin Yu nodded in agreement. Hu Yanbo's assets had only amounted to a few million Hun Yuan units. Even adding the Yun Mo Star, they were still far inferior to this sum.

"Babata, it seems Teacher left behind quite a bit of money too. How about taking it out early so we can spend some?" Jin Yu teased.

He was in such a good mood that he deliberately poked fun at Babata.

"No, no."

Babata stubbornly refused to say anything.

"Forget about whether it can be withdrawn now. Even if it could, I wouldn't agree. Even if you don't think much of it now, Old Master set those rules. I can't disobey them."

"Fine, fine, I was just saying!" Jin Yu truly did not care about that bit of money anymore. Besides, it had to be withdrawn in three installments. That was simply too stingy.

Old Gold was much more generous! If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely revive it.

"Over 150 million, and in Hun Yuan units!" Looking at the balance, Jin Yu finally felt what it was like to be truly wealthy.

This was not Black Dragon Coins, nor Gan Wu Coins, much less the universally used Universe Coins. These were terrifying Hun Yuan units!

Even among the eternal Immortal Gods, including those Marquis Immortals, Jin Yu would count as one of the very richest.

One had to know that a Universe level ninth order servant only cost 3 billion to 10 billion Universe Coins!

And one Hun Yuan unit was equal to 1 trillion Universe Coins. Even the most expensive Universe level ninth order slaves could be bought at a hundred per Hun Yuan unit!

It was enough to easily sweep through a low-level Universe Country.

"Transfer it!" Jin Yu immediately said to the Metal Robot. "Transfer it to the account bound to my spiritual imprint."

His former self's account was bound to its spiritual imprint. Although other methods of access had been set up, opening it even once was too troublesome.

Binding it to a spiritual imprint was the safest and most convenient method.

The balance in his own account was already equivalent to the entire fortune of many Marquis Immortals. After all, a Marquis Immortal's total wealth generally amounted to only around ten million Hun Yuan units. Even a Peak Marquis had only around a hundred million Hun Yuan units.

"Jin Yu, you've received an email." Babata's voice sounded slightly trembling.

"Open it."

Jin Yu quickly closed his eyes and connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network, having Babata open the email. It was a notification from Universe First Bank

"Dear customer, hello.

Your consciousness-bound account with our bank has just received a transfer of 156,828,658 Hun Yuan units. As the balance in your account has reached the threshold of 10 million Hun Yuan units, it has automatically been upgraded to a 'Five-star account.' You have also automatically become an esteemed five-star customer of Universe First Bank. As a star-rated customer, you possess many special privileges.

Attached below is a list and explanation of some special privileges.

Universe First Bank"

"Oh? I've reached a Five-star account? Ten million Hun Yuan units qualifies for a Five-star account, while a Six-star account requires 10 billion Hun Yuan units. That's already the entire fortune of many King Immortals." Jin Yu sighed with emotion after reading the message. He had finally taken his first step out of poverty and toward prosperity.

At the same time, he was filled with boundless excitement. He now had more than enough capital for his initial rise.

Babata beside him also fell silent for a time. It was not shocked by the money, but because it had thought of Hu Yanbo.

It knew very clearly that the account Hu Yanbo had left behind had only barely reached the threshold for a Five-star account at its peak. Now that Jin Yu had this money, he already had abundant capital to soar.

He was one step closer to avenging his master.

Many people wanted to know what men did after becoming rich.

Jin Yu of Huaxia Kingdom would now tell them: they bought land.

"I want to buy the Milky Way Galaxy in the Silver Blue Empire. Can you purchase it on my behalf?" Jin Yu asked nervously.

"Esteemed five-star customer, Universe First Bank is wholeheartedly at your service. In accordance with your request, the head office has already dispatched the president of the First Bank Branch to contact the Silver Blue Empire Emperor and discuss the purchase price." Upon receiving Jin Yu's request, the robot immediately made arrangements.

And it was overwhelmingly domineering. It was not discussing whether they would sell, but negotiating the final price.

Generally, institutions like Universe First Bank and Universe Galaxy Bank, where Hu Yanbo had opened an account, only established branches on important planets.

But that did not mean they completely abandoned the lower-tier planets. On important planets in some low-level empires, they would establish subordinate banks as well. Put simply, they were similar to subsidiaries on Earth. They were governed by the head office but possessed considerable autonomy.

Universe First Bank was like a central bank. Its subordinate branches were like small local regional banks.

Jin Yu chose to have Universe First Bank make the purchase not only because of his own lack of strength, but also because with Universe First Bank backing him, even the forces of Gan Wu Universe Country would not be qualified to touch his galaxy.

It was nothing more than spending a bit more money. It was worth it—a small investment for enormous returns!
