Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter48-Chaos Barrier

She was currently at a critical juncture in breaking through her rank. If she were to kill Velen, her heart would never find peace, and it might even leave a permanent scar on her psyche.

So eliminating Velen was absolutely not an option.

Moreover, she quickly realized that if Velen could easily produce so many advanced mana stones, how could he not have some means of protecting himself?

Carefully recalling what Velen had just said, things that initially seemed unreliable now sounded strikingly genuine.

The Ascended Rank Level 9 mentee Velen had mentioned was likely real!

If she could join the Tycoon Club and become Velen’s mentee, why couldn’t she?

Given Velen’s vast wealth of advanced mana stones and the existence of an Ascended Rank Level 9 mentee, it was undoubtedly some kind of extraordinary opportunity!

After a moment of thought, Sophia suddenly asked, “Velen, how many advanced mana stones did Caitlin ask for back then?”

“The same as I’m giving you—ten million advanced mana stones!”

Velen replied with a smile. “Honestly, considering her status and position, asking for a hundred million advanced mana stones would’ve been more appropriate. But since she wasn’t originally a member of our Tycoon Club, I guess it’s understandable.”

“A hundred million advanced mana stones?”

Sophia swallowed hard.

This was advanced mana stones they were talking about!

For an awakener of her rank, even acquiring a few hundred advanced mana stones would be enough to make her ecstatic for days.

As for one hundred million…

She wasn’t sure if combining all the advanced mana stones held by the top factions in the Titan Galaxy could even reach that number!

Yet judging by Velen’s demeanor, producing one hundred million advanced mana stones didn’t seem to be an issue at all.

“Velen, if you can really produce one hundred million advanced mana stones, I swear I’ll immediately join your Tycoon Club!”

As Sophia’s voice fell, Velen tossed another storage bag her way.

Sophia’s throat moved, her expression growing increasingly astonished—completely stunned, even.

Because inside the storage bag was an overwhelming, densely packed mountain of advanced mana stones.

One hundred million!

Velen… how could he have so many?

Sophia felt like she was dreaming.

After a moment of dazed confirmation, she steadied her breathing, closed her parasol, and respectfully bowed to Velen.

“Mentor!”

Since childhood, she had always honored her word. If Velen could truly fulfill his promises, becoming his disciple was no big deal.

After she spoke, she looked at Velen with a peculiar expression, then carefully handed back the storage bag containing the one hundred million advanced mana stones.

“Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. Reward: 30,000 luxury points!”

“Congratulations, host, on gaining a second mentee. Rewards: 10,000 Words of Fate SSS Tomes of Skill Experience and the Chaos Barrier.”

Chaos Barrier: Upon use, mitigates some of the side effects from peering into destiny.

Seeing the rewards from the system, Velen’s excitement surged.

Not to mention the 10,000 SSS Tomes of Skill Experience, which would undoubtedly drive the Tarot Order members mad with desire.

The Chaos Barrier was also a delightful surprise!

Every awakener who delved into destiny would eventually face erosion by fate, leading to a tragic demise.

This was the inherent side effect of peering into destiny.

But with the Chaos Barrier, some of these side effects could be neutralized.

If the Tarot Order knew about this, they would lose their minds!

However, Velen himself didn’t need it. Although Fate’s Trojan also involved peering into destiny, it wasn’t him doing the peering—his system perfectly nullified the side effects.

That said, the Chaos Barrier would be incredibly beneficial for Sophia.

With it activated, she could freely use the Words of Fate skill without being as constrained.

“Sophia, while you’re now my mentee, the Tycoon Club is a very loose organization. Just remember your identity as part of it—that’s enough.”

After his initial excitement, Velen quickly addressed Sophia.

He continued, revealing more to her:

“The Tarot Order is currently looking for you, claiming you’re the Saintess of Tarot and the future Head of the Tarot Order. I won’t stop you because that’s your destiny.”

“The Tarot Order is powerful, especially with Words of Fate, which can see into the future. You must study it well.”

“I have here 10,000 Words of Fate SSS Tomes of Skill Experience. Using them will enhance your proficiency with Words of Fate. Don’t hold back—use them to improve quickly and come back to me once you’ve mastered it!”

Saying this, Velen handed her a storage bag filled with the SSS Tomes of Skill Experience.

Next, he pointed at Sophia’s forehead, integrating the Chaos Barrier into her body.

“This Chaos Barrier will help you mitigate the backlash from peering into destiny, allowing you to use Words of Fate more frequently without as many restrictions.”

As Velen finished, Sophia was overwhelmed by the flood of information.

She was the Saintess of the Tarot Order?

Was that true?

Words of Fate was evidently the most famous special skill of the Tarot Order.

And these SSS Tomes of Skill Experience—what were they exactly?

And the Chaos Barrier…

Sophia carefully processed all the information she had just learned.

Although she didn’t yet fully understand the value of what Velen had given her, knowing he was someone capable of casually producing one hundred million advanced mana stones, she was certain these things were extraordinary.

“Mentor, don’t worry. Once I’m in the Tarot Order, I’ll work hard to improve myself. I’ll make sure the Tarot Order becomes a subordinate faction of the Tycoon Club!”

Sophia said earnestly, looking directly at Velen.

Although Velen hadn’t mentioned it, it was clear to her that he had been meticulously nurturing her so she could eventually take control of the Tarot Order!

Hearing this, Velen couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

What was she even saying?

He had no such intention!

What was going on in Sophia’s mind?

“Sophia, that’s not what I meant!”

Just as Velen was about to explain, Sophia interrupted him, “Mentor, didn’t you say Caitlin was impressive?”

Velen nodded.

Caitlin’s rank wasn’t just Ascended Rank Level 9; she was also the headmaster of Celestia Academy—a truly formidable figure.

Seeing this, Sophia smiled. “Mentor, don’t worry. I won’t let you down! Since you’re so dedicated to nurturing me, I’ll make sure I become your best mentee!”

?

Velen widened his eyes.

Was this the Saintess of the Tarot Order?

Her ambition was off the charts!

She was already setting Caitlin as her rival. Sophia had truly found herself a worthy competitor.

“By the way, Mentor, where are the Tarot Order members? Why haven’t they arrived yet? Why don’t you take me to them? We can make it look like a chance encounter.”

“Once I join the Tarot Order, half of your plan will already be a success!”

Sophia said seriously, as if she had already made it her goal to lead the Tarot Order under the Tycoon Club.

Blinking at her, Velen realized Sophia’s mind was brimming with ideas.

But her intentions were simple—to flaunt her mentor’s wealth and bring more luxury points his way. She wasn’t as cunning as she seemed.

Realizing this, Velen felt the need to correct her thinking—his goals weren’t as she imagined.

“Sophia, you’re overthinking it. My goals are actually very simple—”

“Mentor, you don’t need to comfort me. I know this path is difficult, but I’m confident I can fulfill this monumental task!”

Velen: “…”

Was Sophia secretly a drama queen?

At that moment, Velen suddenly looked into the distance and pointed at an elderly man.

“That dignified-looking old man is Kelsey, a councilor of the Tarot Order.”

Feeling it was difficult to communicate with Sophia, Velen felt a bit relieved now that Kelsey had arrived.

“A councilor of the Tarot Order?” Sophia murmured, then seemed to think of something. Smiling, she said,

“Mentor, I’ll approach him on my own. He’s sure to recognize me, and then he’ll quickly bring me back to the Tarot Order!”

“Mentor, wait here for the good news from your mentee. I promise to complete the task as quickly as possible!”

With that, Sophia confidently headed toward Kelsey’s direction.
