Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter283-So We Were the Ones Taking the Thunder Hits?!
“Of course I’m breaking through,” Velen said with a relaxed smile.

“As for my current level, I’m pushing into Ascended Rank level 4.”

“What?!”

“You’re breaking through to Divine-tier level 4?!”

Karos and Kendrix were completely floored.

Had they heard that right?

Wait a second!

Karos suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, “Lord Velen, you must be joking, right? Every Divine-tier advancement requires thunder purification!”

“You’re welcome to take a look outside,” Velen replied, gesturing toward the door.

“Due to my unique physique, thunder doesn’t strike me during breakthroughs. Instead, it hits the ground—or the people nearby.”

“To put it simply: when I ascend, either the earth or someone else takes the hit for me.”

Heh.

Hearing this, Karos and Kendrix couldn’t help but laugh.

What nonsense! If they believed that, they’d be the biggest fools in the universe.

“Karos, what are you doing?” Kendrix asked via mental transmission. “Are you stupid? If you go out there and check, you’re basically slapping Lord Velen in the face!”

“Just sit down and keep soaking. Listen to the tale like a good guest!”

Besides, they were soaking their feet in priceless Iron Cub Spring Water.

Even if Velen was spinning wild tales, there was no reason to ruin the mood.

Kendrix had completely forgotten he never told Karos the truth about the basins or the water…

Outside the House

As the latest Thunder Calamity dispersed, the Provan family’s powerhouses fled like panicked birds, afraid that the man inside would continue ascending.

BOOM!

No sooner had they retreated when another surge of breakthrough energy pulsed from the house.

“Ahhh, here we go again…”

Sensing the familiar energy, Norson let out a long sigh.

“Well, I’ve already started this ride—I might as well see it through.”

“If he’s going to keep breaking through, I’ll keep taking the thunder. Let’s see who collapses first—him or me.”

Norson readied himself once more for the storm of divine wrath.

Sometime later…

“Hmm?”

“Grandpa Norson, what are you doing sitting on the ground?”

“And… what happened to your hair?”

Karos had come out with a basin in his hands. When he saw Norson slouched in the courtyard with his hair sticking up like a hedgehog, he couldn’t help asking.

Sit on the ground? What else could I do?

I’m half-dead from exhaustion!

Norson reached up and felt his frazzled, spiky hair.

“The damn thunder blasted my hair into this mess,” he muttered, close to tears.

“Grandpa Norson!”

“I just heard something absolutely hilarious!”

“Lord Velen said he broke through three Divine-tier levels in a row, and get this—he claims thunder never strikes him because of his special physique. Instead, it hits the ground or the people around him! Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard?”

Karos lowered his voice, snickering as he shared what he thought was a joke.

“Hahaha!”

“That’s… that’s absolutely hilarious!”

“If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I’d say it’s impossible!”

Norson laughed so hard tears came to his eyes.

Damn it!

He wanted to scream: Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!

If we’d known the thunder would only strike us and not you, we would’ve run miles away!

So all this time… we were the ones taking the hit for the earth?!

SPLASH!

Just then, Karos casually dumped the water from his basin onto the ground.

“That was… Iron Cub Spring Water?!”

Norson’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He watched, horrified, as the precious liquid soaked into the dirt.

“Master Karos… that water just now…”

“It’s just foot soak water,” Karos replied with a dreamy look. “But wow, it felt amazing! I’ll have to ask Lord Velen what it is later. Once I get home, I’ll ask Father to stock up—this stuff is perfect for soaking feet!”

Use Iron Cub Spring Water for foot baths?

And not just that—ask his father to prepare it in bulk?!

Either this kid knew nothing about being a tycoon… or he was determined to bankrupt his entire family overnight.

Norson’s face turned pale.

He was genuinely worried Karos might get beaten to death the moment he returned home.

Inside the House

“Kendrix!”

“Don’t tell Karos the truth about the basins or the water!”

“His situation is… special. I want him to experience the joy of wasteful luxury. That’s the only way he’ll grow into a proper prodigal.”

Velen’s tone was serious.

“What?!” Kendrix panicked.

“Lord Velen, Karos’s brain isn’t exactly… the sharpest! If you start him at this level of extravagance, I’m worried his family’s fortune won’t survive his enthusiasm!”

This was madness!

Kendrix wanted to shout: Our concept of luxury isn’t even in the same solar system as yours!

“Kendrix,” Velen said with a glint in his eye, “you seem like a promising talent yourself.”

“Would you be interested in joining my Tycoon Club—a fellowship of extravagant elites who waste wealth with no remorse?”

“…Tycoon Club?”

Kendrix blinked in confusion.

What kind of organization was that?

“Once you join, you’re in for life. No backing out!” Velen said proudly.

“You’ll have endless Astral Aurum, endless mana crystals, and complete freedom to spend like an absolute lunatic—as long as you obey the club rules.”

“And I… am the leader.”

“First rule of the club: absolute loyalty to the boss!”

System, fill a spatial ring with some advanced mana crystals, Velen mentally ordered.

“Kendrix, don’t think I’m joking.”

“Take a look at this ring.”

He tossed it over casually.

Thud!

Kendrix dropped to one knee instantly.

“Kendrix greets the Boss!”

“Please grant me the honor of joining the Tycoon Club!”

Velen raised a brow.

That was fast.

“System, how much did you put in that ring?”

Ding! The ring contains thirty-three mountain-sized piles of advanced mana crystals—each mountain one kilometer high.

“By the gods!”

Velen’s jaw dropped.

“The spatial capacity of this ring is insane!”

Ding! Host… are you focusing on the wrong part here?

The system couldn’t help but complain.

You told me to pack “a few”—so I gave you thirty-three mountains!

And all you notice is how big the ring is?

“Wrong focus?”

“Where exactly did I go wrong?”

“As the leader of the Tycoon Club, should I really be shocked over a few mana crystals?”

Velen grinned mischievously.

Silence.

Typical system—when it had no comeback, it just played dead.

Velen shook his head with a chuckle and looked back at Kendrix.

Moments later…

“Perfect!”

“Looks like Kendrix really is a fine candidate!”

Velen smiled in satisfaction.

The system had just confirmed that Kendrix had passed the loyalty assessment and was now an official member of the Tycoon Club.

Finally, another worthy recruit.

“Boss! I won’t let you down!”

“I’ll work hard to spend wildly and spread the glory of the Tycoon Club!”

Hearing that, Velen’s face lit up.

That’s what a team needs—dedicated, spend-happy lunatics!

“Lord Velen!”

Karos walked in just then, face full of regret.

“My father just contacted me. He’s ordered me to return to the clan immediately… I’m afraid I can’t continue traveling with you for now.”
