Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter251-No! My Frenzied Spring!
A thousand high-grade mana crystals, given for practically nothing — and he actually refused?

Was a thousand high-grade mana crystals not enticing enough anymore?

“Is it really this hard to flaunt my wealth and squander like a good tycoon should?”

Velen let out a sigh of melancholy.

“Blazing Knight Commander, did Knight Commander Arthur explain my situation to you thoroughly?”

Regaining his composure, His Highness Velen turned to the Blazing Knight Commander and asked directly.

This didn’t make sense.

Arthur should have fully briefed him.

So why would the Commander refuse the generous gratuity?

“Your Highness Velen!”

“Arthur explained everything to me very clearly, even the parts I need to be especially cautious about!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve committed Arthur’s advice to memory, word for word!”

Although he wasn’t quite sure why Velen was asking, the Blazing Knight Commander hurried to answer respectfully.

“???”

Velen was stunned.

He was warned, and he still dared to refuse his gratuity?

This was clearly a deliberate act of defiance!

It had been a long time since someone dared to “challenge” him so brazenly.

Interesting. Very interesting.

A sly smile crept across Velen’s lips as he looked at the Blazing Knight Commander.

Things were getting fun.

“What’s going on?”

The Blazing Knight Commander suddenly shivered.

“Why do I feel like His Highness Velen’s gaze just turned… dangerous?”

Seeing the playful glint in Velen’s eyes, a deep sense of unease settled over him.

What was he planning?

Why did he feel such intense dread?

“System, activate the Fate’s Trojan function and probe the Blazing Knight Commander’s profile! Focus on finding out what he loves most!”

Since this fool wanted to challenge a world-class spendthrift tycoon like him, Velen naturally intended to fulfill the man’s ‘wish’… thoroughly.

After all, if people thought they could just defy him without consequences, what kind of fearsome tycoon would he be?

Very soon, streams of information about the Blazing Knight Commander flooded into Velen’s mind.

“How interesting!”

“This Blazing Knight Commander is actually a berserker — he stumbled upon a berserker inheritance inside the Singularity Battlefield by sheer luck.”

Velen gave him a quick once-over.

He had met many warriors in his time, but this was his first time encountering a genuine berserker.

Despite the infinite expanse of the universe, with its myriad classes and professions, it was still rare to run into certain ones even across a lifetime.

“But… although the berserker inheritance he obtained is extremely powerful, to fully unleash its potential, it requires a special magical item — the Frenzied Spring — for enhancement.”

“System, what’s this Frenzied Spring?” Velen asked, sticking to his excellent habit of asking whenever he didn’t understand something.

“Ding! Frenzied Spring is a magical spring used by berserkers to soak and temper their bodies, greatly boosting physical strength! Only a few exist within the Singularity Battlefield!!”

So it was an incredibly rare magical spring that strengthened the body?

And it sounded extremely scarce too?

Through the Fate’s Trojan, Velen now knew precisely what the Blazing Knight Commander cherished most:

The Frenzied Spring.

It turned out that after obtaining the berserker inheritance, the Blazing Knight Commander had only managed to collect a small barrel (a normal-sized one) of Frenzied Spring from the relic site.

In the hundreds of years he spent wandering the Singularity Battlefield afterward, he never found another drop.

Thus, he had no choice but to accept that his berserker inheritance would remain incomplete — leaving his strength stuck at a certain ceiling.

Otherwise, the Blazing Knight Commander would not have remained merely a Knight Commander of a single kingdom.

“If he could obtain enough Frenzied Spring even now, he could refine his body to its absolute peak, easily tripling his current strength!”

Having understood the situation, Velen’s smile widened.

Good.

The man had something he wanted.

Which meant he had no way out.

“System, consume some Spendthrift Points. Activate the special roulette. Target item: Frenzied Spring…”

“Ding! To assist the Host in triggering appropriate tycoon behavior, the System will provide any required item unconditionally!”

“Ding! A barrel of Frenzied Spring has been issued. Should it prove insufficient, the System will automatically replenish it. Host, feel free to use it liberally!”

Even before Velen finished speaking, the System’s voice chimed crisply in his mind.

Holy crap?

Since when had the System gotten so generous and efficient?

Excitement bubbled up inside Velen.

He was already used to the System’s ‘thoughtful’ service, but what truly thrilled him was the prize — an entire barrel of Frenzied Spring.

And it wasn’t a tiny barrel either.

It was a proper, full-sized, industrial-strength barrel — roughly comparable in size to a large boulder.

Velen couldn’t help but wonder:

If the System one day handed out a giant barrel, just how massive would it be?

“Strange…”

“Where exactly did things go wrong?”

Watching Velen suddenly fall silent, the Blazing Knight Commander’s sense of impending doom grew stronger.

“But logically speaking, I didn’t do anything wrong, right?”

“He offered me a gratuity; I nobly declined; I even agreed to help for free — what’s wrong with that?!”

“Could it be… could it be that I forgot some critical warning Arthur gave me?”

Boom!

Just as the Blazing Knight Commander was spiraling into paranoia, a dull thud echoed nearby.

He turned and was immediately stupefied.

A colossal wooden barrel, about two meters wide and five meters tall, had appeared beside him.

“What the hell?! Where did this giant barrel come from?!”

Completely dumbstruck, the Blazing Knight Commander pointed at it and asked nervously,

“Your Highness Velen… what exactly is this thing?”

“Blazing Knight Commander, before juicing the fruits, I’ll have to trouble you with one small task first,”

Velen said cheerfully.

“Could you please throw this barrel into the sky and then punch it to pieces, creating an artificial rain?”

“It’s scorching hot today, and I’d like a little refreshing shower.”

Scorching heat?

You’re already a Hero Rank powerhouse — why the hell would you care about a little sun?

Although he found Velen’s reasoning baffling, the Blazing Knight Commander understood that it wasn’t his place to question.

Orders were orders.

“No problem!”

“Your Highness Velen, leave it to me!”

With that, he effortlessly lifted the enormous barrel in one hand and hurled it high into the sky.

“Explode for me!”

“Berserker bloodline, awaken!”

Following closely behind, the Blazing Knight Commander leapt fifty meters into the air and threw a mighty, mana-charged punch at the falling barrel.

BOOM!

With a deafening explosion, the massive barrel shattered into a thousand wooden fragments.

The contents — the Frenzied Spring — sprayed outwards like rain.

But the very next moment—

“Noooo!!!”

The Blazing Knight Commander let out a heart-wrenching howl.

He finally realized…

The barrel hadn’t been filled with ordinary water.

It had been filled with the Frenzied Spring he had sought after for centuries!

“My spring!!”

He let out an anguished roar, eyes wide with despair.

His soul crumbled as he watched the precious liquid he had dreamed of for so long turn into mere rain, wasted before his very eyes.
