Inherited Wealth

On December 20, 2052, Earth time, after ten days of travel, Black Dragon Mountain-81 carried Lin Qingyu, Jia Yi, Hong, and Thor to Qiu Long Star.

"Qiu Long Star is the most prosperous planet within several hundred thousand light-years," Lin Qingyu explained. "Even the imperial capital of the Silver Blue Empire cannot compare to Qiu Long Star. Our first purpose in coming here is to help you join the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and open Virtual Universe accounts. Our second is to inherit that powerful expert's wealth."

Although Lin Qingyu had an anonymous Virtual Universe account, such accounts could not be bound to their users, meaning features unique to the Virtual Universe, such as the Killing Field, could not be used. Therefore, Lin Qingyu wanted Jia Yi and the others to open accounts in the real world.

The other matter was obtaining Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship.

Only with citizenship could one be considered a cosmic citizen and receive the protection of imperial law. Without citizenship, even a Star level or Universe Level cultivator was merely a "native."

Once caught, they could very likely be fitted with biological chips and turned into slaves.

Of course, slave traders were hardly decent people. Powerful individuals might secretly capture cosmic citizens as well, but no matter what, such things could not be done openly.

While Earth was still weak, Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship was indeed a fairly good shield.

Even Jia Yi agreed with Lin Qingyu's decision to bring them into the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The procedures did not take much time. Soon, Lin Qingyu led Jia Yi and the other two through their identity registration and Virtual Universe account applications. Afterward, the four of them made another trip to the Qianwu Dojo, allowing Jia Yi, Hong, and Thor to become Qianwu Dojo students as well.

After finishing all that, the four arrived at Cosmic Star River Bank on Qiu Long Star.

As one of the five strongest forces of the Human Race, Cosmic Star River Bank's Qiu Long Star branch was incomparably grand and imposing.

The bank covered nearly a hundred square kilometers, while its main building stood over a thousand meters tall. Like a majestic mountain peak, it rose from the center of a plaza planted with rare grasses and exotic flowers.

The entire bank building was silver, gleaming with a metallic luster. Countless beautiful patterns, precious treasures, and lifelike exotic beasts were carved into its surface. These carvings seemed alive, shining brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

Even well-traveled people like Jia Yi, Hong, and Thor were momentarily awed by the grandeur of Cosmic Star River Bank.

"It really is magnificent. I wonder how they built it," Hong said as he looked at the various reliefs on the bank building.

"There are plenty of skyscrapers on Earth, but I've never seen anything this damn impressive. Now I really feel like a country bumpkin visiting the city," Thor said with self-deprecating laughter.

"The Cosmic Star River Bank headquarters building on Qiu Long Star is made entirely of C-class metal, Xuan Xing Silver. Even ordinary Universe Level experts cannot easily break it," Lin Qingyu said. "After all, this is a powerful organization that has stood firm throughout the universe for countless years. Even a small branch cannot be underestimated. Still, we do not need to be too nervous. We are the bank's clients now. No matter how magnificent it is, it exists to serve us."

"Heh, that's true. We're clients, and the customer is god." Thor grinned. "Now that you put it that way, this bank suddenly doesn't seem like much."

"Alright, let's go in," Jia Yi said.

The four were all important figures on Earth, so they quickly recovered from the shock brought by Cosmic Star River Bank. Then, amid the envious gazes of passersby, they entered the bank building.

"Good morning, gentlemen. What business would you like to handle?" A beautiful woman in uniform asked with a proper smile.

"Lucky us. We don't even need to queue." Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up. He wanted to withdraw Hu Yanbo's portion of the inheritance as soon as possible.

"I'd like to make a withdrawal," Lin Qingyu said. Then he turned to Jia Yi and the others. "Master, you can sit and rest for a while. I'll be right back."

He then followed the woman to a reception room.

After Lin Qingyu left, another receptionist came over and led Jia Yi and the others to the lounge area.

Although Jia Yi and the others were not handling any business, they had come with Lin Qingyu and were also his elders, so they naturally could not be neglected.

Anyone who could open an account with Cosmic Star River Bank was a major client, so the service naturally had to be impeccable.

"8492--8593--WOXH--8528--5285--032." In the reception room, Lin Qingyu recited Hu Yanbo's bank account number, then silently admired the receptionist's instantly changing expression.

"D-dear honored guest, please wait a moment. I'll notify the branch manager." After speaking in a trembling voice, the receptionist stood, bowed to Lin Qingyu, and left the reception room.

Before leaving, the receptionist did not forget to shakily arrange for another attendant to serve Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu had no additional requests. He simply sat in the reception room, happily drinking a beverage.

"Aren't you curious why that receptionist reacted so dramatically?" Bata's voice sounded beside Lin Qingyu's ear.

"I'm guessing it has something to do with this account," Lin Qingyu said.

"Smart. This account is actually your teacher's account. It's a five-star account at Cosmic Star River Bank. That receptionist was probably scared senseless. They might not receive a five-star client even once in their entire life." Bata spoke with a pleased smile.

Lord Demon Bata most enjoyed watching others panic.

Normally, whenever he was with Lin Qingyu, he was always the one getting startled. Today, he had finally regained a little face through that receptionist. Unfortunately, he had failed to make Lin Qingyu gape in shock.

Lin Qingyu did not care about Bata's desire to show off and simply waited quietly.

Soon, a somewhat plump middle-aged man approached respectfully. After offering a salute, he brought Lin Qingyu to a luxurious reception room on the very top floor of the building.

Then, he withdrew from the room, leaving only Lin Qingyu and the room's intelligent system.

Although Qiu Long Star was prosperous, its strongest experts were only Domain Lords. The Cosmic Star River Bank branch here was not of a high enough rank to receive the holder of a five-star account.

Lin Qingyu recited his account number in the reception room. Then, following the intelligent system's instructions, he verified his Mental Force. After passing the verification, he entered the password and finally connected to Hu Yanbo's account.

The full ten billion Qianwu Coins displayed in the account brought a slight smile to Lin Qingyu's lips.

"Ten billion Qianwu Coins. Your teacher believed this should be enough for you to purchase the resources needed for Star level cultivation. Even the adult children of some major cosmic families would probably receive only around one hundred million Qianwu Coins," Bata said. "Also, if you want to buy Earth, this money is enough. Of course, you currently have no way to complete the procedure for purchasing Earth."
