Identity Setting Edit Card

The next day.

8:20 in the morning.

The same run-down apartment building.

Only, every passerby noticed something unusual.

For some reason, a row of rather nice cars had stopped in front of the entrance to the shabby apartment building, which was only a few stories tall.

They could not be considered top-tier luxury cars.

But they were all high-end vehicles that were somewhat beyond the reach of ordinary wage earners.

Clearly, this was not a normal occurrence for such a dilapidated apartment building.

Thus, the nearby residents could not help casting curious looks over.

They then saw several people in suits standing in the open doorway of a room in the corridor on the apartment building's fourth floor.

It was not that they wanted to stand there.

It was that there were even more people inside the room.

This old, run-down room, which covered just over twenty square meters, could no longer hold them all...

As the room's occupant.

Xi Shenlian was inside, looking through a pile of documents with great interest.

The title of the documents was—Inheritance Gift Agreement.

The deceased was a foreign tycoon who had lived to the age of ninety.

His assets consisted almost entirely of shares in various companies and various investments.

After liquidating his assets before his death.

Their total value came to approximately 650 billion Yen.

He was unquestionably one of the richest men on the entire planet.

And it was all pure cash flow!

The beneficiary was also clearly stated.

It was none other than Xi Shenlian.

"Mr. Xi Shenlian, according to Mr. Tom Tern's final wishes, as the benefactor who once helped him, you have become the sole heir to his entire estate. For your convenience, he liquidated all his assets in advance. Once the relevant procedures are completed, you will be able to directly obtain the right to use the inheritance..."

The speaker was a stern-looking, middle-aged white woman in a suit.

Although her skin was slightly paler than that of the people of Dongying.

For the most part.

Apart from a few features.

She was actually not much different from the people of Dongying.

And this was a common phenomenon in this world.

Although this world also had yellow, white, and black people.

Their ancestors had all been Atlanteans, who had split into separate groups a hundred thousand years ago.

This was already a broadly accepted fact.

Therefore, the various races were not especially hostile toward one another.

Moreover.

Even though environmental factors had caused racial differences to emerge within human civilization over the past hundred thousand years.

The extent of those differences was actually not very great.

Take the black people of this world, for example.

They were actually about as dark as the yellow people of his previous life after a certain degree of tanning.

Their skin leaned somewhat toward a lighter coffee color.

Thus, overall, there truly was not much difference between the three races.

In fact, because a unified empire that ruled the entire world had emerged even after Atlantis was destroyed, communication between the continents had almost never been severed. This made it common from ancient times for residents of different countries to travel all over the world, achieving a greater degree of globalization than in his previous life.

After repeated upheavals and cycles of progress and regression, the level of technology was now somewhat more advanced than in his previous life.

For example, so-called nuclear weapons had been developed several centuries ago, and controlled nuclear fusion had already existed for around a hundred years.

However, the people of this world were not as enthusiastic about outer space.

That was because, to the human civilization here, the available resources on their home planet were more than sufficient for the present era.

Moreover.

As early as tens of thousands of years ago.

Thanks to some High-level Awakened with far too much free time, human civilization had already gained a thorough understanding of the entire Solar System.

At the time, that High-level Awakened had directly brought back some local resources from various planets.

Including a several-thousand-ton bulk shipment of soil from the different planets.

Pluto, Mars...

Resources had been brought back from all of them.

As far as Xi Shenlian knew.

Because the insufficient thrust of rocket engines made space travel take far too long, and because being too far from central authority could easily lead to trouble...

Most scientists currently believed that interstellar colonization was not yet viable and that the situation still needed considerable development.

As for outer space, the countries were more concerned with Space Satellite technology.

This was true for both military and civilian applications.

Electronic signal transmission, ultra-long-range surveillance systems...

In the current era.

These were undoubtedly more promising than space travel, which offered little profit.

The investment was lower.

And the returns came faster.

A few minutes later.

After the foreign woman had explained the general situation.

With cameras recording and a notary present, Xi Shenlian signed the documents and replied at the appropriate moment:

"All right, I don't have any questions."

The woman immediately smiled at his reply.

As the executor and lawyer.

After completing the assignment, she had fully secured her commission.

Of course.

That being said.

As she looked at the young man before her, who had inexplicably picked up a huge sum of money and been granted sole inheritance rights by a tycoon, she still felt sour inside...

Damn it!

Can you really inherit that much money just by helping some old person you happen to come across on the road?

How sour was she?

She was so sour that she nearly ground her back teeth to pieces!!

However.

Even though she was this envious, her excellent professionalism still allowed her to maintain a poised exterior:

"Very good. In that case, Ms. Furui Rika of March Bank will handle the rest of the handover with you..."

After she stepped aside.

Another somewhat younger woman, around thirty-five years old, stepped forward with a smile and introduced herself to Xi Shenlian:

"Honorable Lord Xi Shenlian."

"The inheritance funds you possess have now arrived in our bank's account."

"So you are now one of our bank's Super Card clients..."

Having said that.

She took out a black box covered in ornate patterns from beside her.

After opening it.

She displayed the item inside to Xi Shenlian.

It was a black metal bank card with a strange number printed on its surface.

"This is the Super Card our bank has specially prepared for you. With it, you will be able to enjoy our private, customized services anywhere in the world... We will also arrange around-the-clock private assistant services for you, with an entire team dedicated to handling various matters. You can discuss any needs you have with them, and we will do everything in our power to fulfill them for you..."

Half an hour later.

After all the staff had respectfully left.

Xi Shenlian had rejected their arrangement to leave two bodyguards behind for his safety. Looking at the Super Card in his hand, he could not help smiling.

Did he know any super-rich tycoon?

No.

He had never taken care of some foreign old man suffering from an illness, either.

The whole thing was merely something he had created for himself using the Identity Setting Edit Card gifted by the Life Winner System.

Its greatest use was to make his extravagant spending look more reasonable in the future.

When an ordinary person spent money extravagantly, it drew a great deal of attention.

But when the person in question was a lucky man who had inherited billions in wealth, it was undoubtedly perfectly reasonable.

Was there anything wrong with a person who had suddenly become rich throwing money around?

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with it.
