The five peak powers of the human race are the Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Battle Arena, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank, collectively known as the Five Major Powers.

If viewed purely from the functions these powers are responsible for across the various universe countries of the human race, the aspects they manage are quite different.

Among them, the Virtual Universe Company-which controls the lifeblood of humanity, the virtual universe-is undoubtedly the most unfathomable in scale. As the creator and controller of the vast majority of rules within the virtual universe, the resources held by this company are simply unimaginable.

The Giant Axe Battle Arena and the Universe Mercenary Alliance are two powerful martial forces rooted in every universe country. Although their structures appear loose, the force they can mobilize is definitely not to be overlooked.

As for the Universe Galaxy Bank and the Universe First Bank, these two seemingly most peaceful civilized institutions are much more low-key, but as the gathering places for the vast majority of the human race's wealth, no one dares to question the power of these two banks.

As a transmigrator, Li Che saw things very clearly. The Five Major Powers seemed to have different functions, but in essence, they were organizations established by the pillars of the human race to maintain stability and continuously strengthen the human race.

In this human territory of the Primitive Universe, if he wanted to grow stronger and obtain more resources and opportunities, joining the five powers was essential.

Therefore, Li Che prepared to begin trying to inquire about the process of actively joining the five powers in the near future.

Before retiring, he was already a military lord-level world lord recognized by the Extraterrestrial Battlefield military system, and now, having inherited the legacy of Li Che of the Mountain Sea Realm, his strength had long since risen to a higher level.

In Li Che's view, regardless of which of the five powers he joined, he could completely stand out in a very short time.

The question lay in which specific one to join.

To world lords and Undying Deities, the five powers were naturally incomparably powerful, but viewed from the top-tier architecture, the gaps between them were also not small.

For example, standing behind the Giant Axe Battle Arena was the only currently living supreme master of the universe on the surface of the human race, so its strength was naturally the absolute top tier.

At the same time, the Virtual Universe Company was the most unfathomable in the entire human race. This was not only because the spokesperson of the Virtual Universe Company-the Chaos City Lord-was currently the patriarch of the human race, but also because behind the company stood the Origin Ancestor, the strongest hidden existence of the human race.

In addition, Lord Peng Gong behind the Universe Galaxy Bank was one of the few tier-5 universe masters within the human race.

In comparison, although the Universe First Bank and the Universe Mercenary Alliance were equally powerful, the universe masters behind them lacked that kind of top-tier existence of the race.

Therefore, the Universe Galaxy Bank was also a very good choice in Li Che's eyes.

Compared to massively scaled organizations like the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Battle Arena, the Universe Galaxy Bank only had a total of two universe masters, and its number of venerables could not compare with the first two powers either. If he joined, it would instead be easier for him to obtain skewed resources.

This was one of the reasons why Li Che took the initiative to inquire about joining the Universe Galaxy Bank.

Opposite him, the moment the winged-race domain lord heard Li Che's voice, the gaze in his entire eyes brightened abruptly, and he hurriedly spoke:

"Respected sir, the doors of the Universe Galaxy Bank are always open to true powerhouses, and we possess an absolutely fair and generous treatment system!"

As he spoke, he swiftly controlled his intelligence, sending an email to Li Che's virtual universe account.

The contents of the email described in great detail the many ways, welfare policies, job arrangements, and promotion processes for foreign members joining the Universe Galaxy Bank.

Regarding this, Li Che wore a look of keen interest.

Although the Universe Galaxy Bank and the Universe First Bank were not direct violent organizations, absolute strength was indispensable for the daily maintenance of the two banks.

To maintain a safe, stable, and massive financial system operating across the entire universe, the combat strength the two banks needed to dispatch externally was simply astronomical.

The existence of the universe masters provided unquestionable authority for these two banks, while the downstream massive numbers of universe venerables, immortals, and world lords provided absolute execution for the banks. The combination of the two was the public credibility that allowed the two banks to look down upon the entire human race.

Regrettably, because the banks lacked the qualifications to organize the Peak Genius Battle and the Peak Powerhouses Battle, nor did they possess a strict mercenary system like the Universe Mercenary Alliance, it was difficult to siphon off those low-level geniuses.

To solve this problem, the two banks expanded by relying on absolutely bountiful treatments and welfares to absorb members at and above the domain lord level.

In other words, the salaries and welfares of internal personnel in the two banks were extremely high!

Li Che read through the Universe Galaxy Bank's absorption rules for World Master Level members with keen interest.

Generally speaking, World Master Level powerhouses who joined the Universe Galaxy Bank were usually divided by individual strength and potential, and upon joining were initially split into two groups: peripheral members and core members.

Peripheral members were often those world lords with ordinary strength. Needless to say, they were mainly demoted to the scope of various universe countries to execute jobs such as armed escort, convoy protection, and risk handling.

Core members were usually at least at the level recognized by the origin laws, and they could become core members of the bank the moment they entered. Although they were often of the lowest grade, their authority and welfares were generally very high.

Naturally, such lowest-grade core members were also assigned quite a few jobs.

Aside from the same external missions as peripheral members, low-level core members would occasionally receive higher-level daily tasks.

Receiving and serving Undying Deities and universe lords, acting as the guard commander for a certain high-tier secret realm core member, maintaining universe secret realms daily, or even possibly being dispatched to the Initial Universe to keep watch at the gates for certain great existences...

Li Che continued reading downward.

Aiming at those core members possessing formidable strength, the Universe Galaxy Bank also had a rather special system.

These newly joined core members could spend money to purchase a dedicated Initial Universe comprehension qualification exclusively provided by the bank, heading to the Initial Universe to subsequently acquire the chance to become higher-grade core members.

Inside the Universe Galaxy Bank, the uniform selling price of a dedicated Initial Universe comprehension quota (World Master Level) was twenty thousand Hunyuan Units!

Is it such a family-discount price?

The moment he saw that dedicated Initial Universe comprehension quota, a trace of emotion stirred in Li Che's heart.

In his memories, Luo Feng seemed to have participated in a similar primordial universe auction when he was young, and a World Master Level Initial Universe comprehension quota had also appeared back then.

As for the price of that comprehension quota, Li Che remembered it was around forty thousand Hunyuan Units.

The employee benefits of the Universe Galaxy Bank were truly not bad; this was perhaps their main way of absorbing core members.

Yet it was still incomparably expensive!

Without mincing words, twenty thousand Hunyuan Units were enough to buy the lives of some weak-ass Undying Deities!

But no matter what, for a powerhouse, this was a chance to directly join the core circle of the Universe Galaxy Bank, and to call it soaring straight up would not be an exaggeration at all.

For a military lord-level world lord like Li Che, spending twenty thousand Hunyuan Units to buy such an opportunity was not bad.

"Respected sir, with your strength, after joining you will in all likelihood be able to become a core member of my Universe Galaxy Bank. If you need it, I can apply for you immediately, and I believe an Undying Deity will soon come to meet you in person."

Seeing the expression on Li Che's face flicker with interest, the winged-race domain lord softly inquired.

As a veteran service personnel who had received many powerhouses, just by looking at the unprecedented Origin Laws mark between Li Che's brows, he could roughly guess how formidable he was.

And by recommending such a powerhouse to enter the core circle of the bank, the commission he would obtain would definitely not be a small amount.

"You can make contact; getting in touch first is never a bad thing," Li Che said casually.
