Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Chapter294-Using Phantom Moon Orchids as Rope?!
“Lord Velen,” Alec asked cautiously, eyes filled with curiosity, “there’s something I’ve been dying to ask. What exactly did you offer the Temple Master to purchase both the Saint and Grand Elder titles?”

Hearing that, Lore and Stiegler were momentarily stunned.

…What?!

Purchased?!

Saint and Grand Elder positions could be bought?

Why the hell hadn’t they heard of this before?

Before Velen could even reply, the two who had been sinking in despair earlier suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief.

They began to question their own ears—Had they misheard?

After all, Endless Sanctuary was one of the top forces in this entire starfield of the upper plane universe. The titles of Saint and Grand Elder weren’t just mere titles—they were the face of the Sanctuary!

The idea that Temple Master Lilith would sell such high-ranking identities was simply… unfathomable.

“Don’t bring it up!” Velen sighed theatrically. “Thinking about it just makes my heart ache.”

“I never imagined Endless Sanctuary was this poor. Just one lousy piece of Titan Core and they were willing to give up two of the most important positions!”

“But now that I’m here, I’ll do everything I can to improve things. I’ll make sure Endless Sanctuary rises out of poverty!”

Velen didn’t hide anything. In fact, he openly stated his true feelings.

A lousy piece of Titan Core?!

In the upper plane universe, Titan Core was a rare magical mineral, practically sacred to most magic users.

And from Velen’s tone, it sounded like trash you’d kick to the side of the road.

Hearing his words, the three young men suddenly felt their worldview collapse.

“Wait a minute!” Alec frowned. “I have a piece of Titan Core too. Are you saying one piece is enough to buy both Saint and Grand Elder statuses?”

“Lord Velen, how big was your ‘one piece’ exactly?”

“Oh, not that big.”

“Just about a kilometer tall and five hundred meters in diameter. Though, technically speaking, I suppose you could call it a large piece.”

Velen explained casually.

…Excuse me?!

A kilometer tall? Five hundred meters wide?

That’s not a piece of ore—that’s a mountain!

And you’re calling it just “a large piece”?!

The three were so dumbfounded they nearly blacked out.

They desperately wanted to say: “My lord, do you even understand what the phrase ‘a large piece’ means?!”

After recovering from the shock, Lore and Stiegler exchanged glances once again.

But this time, their eyes were no longer filled with despair.

Only wild excitement remained.

This wasn’t joining a magic tower.

This was worshiping a living god of fortune!

With someone who could casually take out a Titan Core Mountain as their new mentor—who needed the Sanctuary’s measly resource allotments ever again?

“Lord Velen!” Alec exclaimed, eyes gleaming. “If what you just described is accurate, then honestly—that one piece of Titan Core alone could buy the entire Endless Sanctuary!”

“Really?”

“Well, I only wanted the Saint and Grand Elder titles.” Velen shrugged and smiled.

What he didn’t say was that the entire mountain was meant as a welcome gift for his Grand Mentor. No need to let them in on that detail.

“By the gods above…”

“So this is what it means to live the life of a spendthrift?”

“You could’ve bought the entire organization, and yet you chose to only buy two positions? Just to show off?”

The three of them were in awe.

Everything they’d previously believed about being extravagant had just been blown to pieces.

This—this was the true art of flaunting wealth!

“Alright,” Velen clapped his hands, “we’ve got a serious task ahead of us.”

“If it weren’t for the three of you, I probably couldn’t get it done alone.”

“Huh?”

“A serious task?” The trio’s eyes lit up.

After witnessing Velen’s unhinged spending spree, they desperately wanted to do something normal to stabilize their mental states.

And then it happened.

“That’s… the Phantom Moon Orchid!!”

When Velen pulled out a bundle of long, silver-blue stalks, all three of them gasped in unison.

That was the very same Phantom Moon Orchid the Temple Master dreamed of obtaining!

Watching Velen casually toss a meter-long stalk to the ground made their hearts lurch in collective panic.

They wanted to shout, “No! You can’t treat them like that! These are priceless treasures!”

They couldn’t help but imagine: if those eight stalks were handed over to Lilith, her “Moon Gazing” magic would improve tremendously.

But then…

“There’s more!”

Velen began pulling out handful after handful of Phantom Moon Orchids, tossing them down without the slightest hesitation.

They watched in horror as he continued emptying out pile after pile onto the ground.

Before long, the base of Titan Tower was covered in a shimmering sea of silver and blue.

At that point, something strange happened.

The three of them began to feel like these flowers weren’t treasures at all—but weeds found on the roadside.

“Lord Velen…” Alec gulped. “What exactly… are you planning to do with all these Phantom Moon Orchids?”

“To make a rope ladder, of course!”

“I’ve got a million of them. More than enough to weave a ladder all the way to the top of Titan Tower!”

“That way, we’ll have options—we can either use the staircase, or climb the rope ladder. Pure convenience!”

Velen proudly shared his grand vision.

…What?!

A rope ladder?!

Made from Phantom Moon Orchids?

And not just a few—a million?

Just so they could have an alternative route to the top of the tower?

If Lilith saw this, wouldn’t she explode on the spot?

The three of them stood frozen.

Not because they were shocked Velen had a million Phantom Moon Orchids.

But because of how he planned to use them!

Who in their right mind would even think of this?

Even if they had a million of them, they wouldn’t know how to squander them so thoroughly.

“Quit daydreaming!”

“Let’s get moving. This is a big job—we need it finished by sundown!”

Seeing the trio still in shock, Velen waved his hands to get them started.

By dusk—

Velen stood gazing at the newly woven ladder that stretched from the tower’s base to its cloud-piercing peak.

A satisfied smile crept across his face.

Meanwhile, the three apprentice Saints who had helped him were practically crying.

They were all Starshine Rank level 9—powerful mages.

Weaving a million magical plants wasn’t difficult for them.

But this was Phantom Moon Orchid they were using!

The Phantom Moon Orchid!

No one knew how they even got through the day.

They wanted to scream: “If you want us to squander wealth, could we at least start smaller?!”

They weren’t born into wealth!

They never dreamed their initiation into Titan Tower would begin with such an insane act of waste!

“Alright!” Velen announced.

“You three go climb the rope ladder and get some rest.”

“I’m heading off to find the Temple Master. After all, now that I’ve recruited three of the Sanctuary’s top apprentices, I should let her know.”

“Also… I want to show her my new ladder.”

Looking at the trio—who seemed on the verge of tears of joy and pain—Velen nodded in satisfaction.

“Wait… what?!”

“You’re deliberately showing her the ladder?!”

“You want her to see it?!”

The three of them were shocked beyond belief.

No sane person would do this.

Even rabbits wouldn’t dare!

They couldn’t even imagine what Lilith’s expression would be like when she laid eyes on a million Phantom Moon Orchids woven into a rope ladder.

Council Chamber, Central Tower

“Titan Elder!”

Lilith looked up as Velen entered, her face tinged with concern.

She was worried that no one had chosen to join Titan Tower and that Velen would be disappointed.

“Temple Master,” Velen said with a smile, “Titan Tower welcomed three new members today. I came to inform you personally.”
