Destined for Supreme Wealth

Faced with this airdropped supply package, he did a quick mental calculation of its approximate value.

Xi Shenlian felt a slight twinge of pain.

He understood.

This thing was a bit hot to handle...

Even if he handed it over to the authorities, it would undoubtedly stir up a mountain of trouble.

It didn't quite fit his desire to roam freely without a care.

So, after thinking it over, under the gaze of the surrounding workers, he suddenly leaped into the tens-of-meters-deep pit, pointed a single finger, and stashed the item into the System Space.

This drew exclamations of surprise from the workers around him.

"Whoa!"

"Where'd it go?"

"Is that Space Equipment?"

"Space Equipment? That's an ultra-rare item!"

Indeed.

This world had Space Equipment, and it was extremely precious.

It usually came from the legacy of the Super Ancient Civilization or ancient civilizations.

Modern society had tried to analyze and manufacture spatial items, but the technology still fell short.

It was said that even with the help of Awakened, they could only produce flawed products.

The internal space was either too small or too unstable!

Still, even flawed products were valuable treasures.

Most of them had records kept by the authorities!

Because this stuff was a smuggler's dream.

Transporting all kinds of weapons and drugs was completely undetectable—no security equipment could spot the problem!

And after weapons of mass destruction were developed, the importance of various Space Equipment multiplied exponentially.

Carrying a nuke to an enemy capital for a live drop...

That had already been done by someone.

This meant that while ordinary people knew such things existed, they'd likely never see one in their lifetime.

They only knew that these items were usually held by the authorities or major powers, always strictly controlled items.

Faced with their guesses, Xi Shenlian didn't bother denying them.

Although Space Equipment was precious and would attract a lot of attention, that piece of Arachi Metal was undoubtedly far more troublesome...

One slip-up could trigger a massive melee or even a World War!

Thus, being thought to have Space Equipment... was actually easier to accept.

At least, Xi Shenlian was deliberately steering that perception.

Because it would be very convenient.

He could take out and put away anything at will.

See the ten rings on my hand?

Yes, they're all Space Equipment.

Where'd they come from?

Personal privacy.

You don't believe me?

Then that's your problem.

As an Awakened, even though Space Equipment was very precious, Xi Shenlian was indeed among those qualified to own it. Even if someone coveted it or took issue, it was a minor problem—at least compared to that piece of Arachi Metal.

For now.

After putting away that Arachi Metal, Xi Shenlian lightly leaped out of the tens-of-meters-deep pit.

At this moment.

The surrounding workers realized that he had jumped into that deep pit without any protection, emerged unscathed, and now jumped back out...

This ability of Xi Shenlian's to treat a tens-of-meters-deep pit like flat ground...

Immediately made them instinctively think of many things.

Subconsciously, they all flashed fawning smiles at Xi Shenlian.

But Xi Shenlian didn't care about their flattery. He just said calmly:

"You did well. I'm satisfied. Double your wages."

Then, amid the workers' delight, he turned to the lawyer who had approached and asked:

"That meteorite belongs to me now. No problem, right?"

The other party immediately shook his head.

With a serious expression, he replied:

"No problem at all."

"According to our country's laws, since that meteorite fell on your land, it's your property."

"This is completely legal."

Hearing this.

Thinking back to the feedback from Destined for Supreme Wealth earlier.

Xi Shenlian now had a clearer understanding of that Extra Talent's function.

If Life Winner's Wealth Customization Right allowed Xi Shenlian to treat ordinary wealth as nothing, having as much as he wanted, like infinite money.

Then Destined for Supreme Wealth represented valuable things beyond ordinary wealth.

Under its influence.

Not only did all kinds of regular money converge toward Xi Shenlian.

But various rare treasures and precious items that others could only dream of also automatically came to Xi Shenlian!

Even if he stayed home waiting to die every day, he'd still get all sorts of treasures!

Moreover, the danger in them would be automatically contained by various accidental factors.

Take the Arachi Metal from before.

It must have been forcibly slowed down in the atmosphere or somewhere else.

Otherwise, given its weight of at least several thousand tons.

If it had fallen unimpeded from outer space, it would have shaken dozens of kilometers around, with power not much less than a nuclear bomb...

In Tokyo.

At least millions would have died!!

That kind of weight and impact force couldn't have been stopped by just sinking tens of meters into the ground.

So.

Its impact force and falling speed must have been affected in advance.

According to the feedback from Destined for Supreme Wealth, it was due to some serendipitous influences.

Those influences not only made the Arachi Metal, which shouldn't have fallen on this planet, land before Xi Shenlian, but also automatically reduced its inherent danger, turning it into a pure treasure—a care package delivered to his doorstep, respectfully placed before him.

Take those falling debris earlier.

Xi Shenlian wouldn't have been hit at all.

Even those apartment fragments flying toward where he stood would have just brushed past him, never hitting him.

That feeling... was like having friendly fire turned off!

Moreover.

This was just the beginning of his new life, and already a priceless Arachi Metal had fallen from the sky.

If this kept up.

Xi Shenlian couldn't help but wonder what else might pop up...

Would aliens fall from the sky?

Or a spaceship?

Or would he dig up ancient treasures just by casually hoeing the ground?

All sorts of possibilities.

Made him scratch his head.

He casually said to the lawyer:

"If anyone asks later, just tell them I took a collectible meteorite."

"I'm leaving now."

"The money will be transferred to you shortly."

With that said, he turned to leave.

But then, at this moment, the lawyer swiftly pulled out a business card he'd prepared long ago.

Flattering him profusely, he said:

"Lord Xi, if you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll do my utmost to handle your affairs!"

"..."

Thinking back on how the man had indeed put in decent effort, Xi Shenlian finally took the card and replied:

"Fine."

The answer was brief, but it made the other man's heart bloom!

He exclaimed inwardly that he'd hit the jackpot!

This employer wasn't just generous and easy to talk to—he also came with formidable strength. A truly top-tier thigh, thick and solid!!
