Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter70-Velen brings yet another senator!

Hearing Ethan’s question, Anastasia, after organizing the information about Velen, finally spoke firmly:

“Tycoon!”

“Extravagant!”

“Wasteful!”

Ethan widened his eyes.

What was going on with Anastasia?

Why was she emphasizing this so much?

Could it be that having money meant gaining the approval of the Senate of House von Michelstein and becoming an independent senator?

Anastasia, seeing the confusion in Master Ethan’s eyes, explained:

“Velen gave Ducal Manor five billion mana stones, and even had Ducal Manor keep the Starlight Array running, with him fully funding it.”

The enhanced Starlight Array was still a secret of House von Michelstein, known only to a few.

So Anastasia didn’t mention it to Master Ethan.

Ethan nodded upon hearing this. He hadn’t thought about it much, but indeed, Velen was quite wealthy. To be able to casually spend so many mana stones at his age meant he must come from a powerful family.

But then, after thinking for a moment, he felt something was off.

“Anastasia, five billion mana stones is a lot, but House von Michelstein wouldn’t give Velen the position of independent senator just for that, would they?”

Anastasia nodded. “I forgot to mention, there’s also ten million advanced mana stones.”

“Advanced mana stones?”

“Ten million?”

Ethan and Victoria both gasped in shock.

They recognized the terms, but combined, they felt a tremendous impact!

How precious are advanced mana stones?

In the major star systems of the universe, they are a hard currency!

Their purchasing power is astounding, and even the top forces, who have accumulated resources for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, don’t have more than a million advanced mana stones.

But Velen… he casually gave ten million!

That’s enough to buy the entire Ducal Manor!

Thinking about this, Ethan suddenly understood why Velen looked so indifferent about something as rare as Starry Stone, and even used it to make kitchenware and scissors.

This man was truly wealthy enough to be careless with money!

Ethan, as a smith master, had seen wealthy families and top-tier aristocrats, but none compared to Velen!

Suddenly, Ethan, as if realizing something, chuckled:

“Anastasia, I’m getting old and just want to find a nice place to retire. Your fortress seems nice; you wouldn’t refuse an old man like me, right?”

For Ethan, Velen, this big tycoon, was the hope to further improve his forging skills!

After all, whether as a blacksmith, alchemist, or any other class, they all required enormous resources—especially mana stones—to sustain their work.

With his current forging skills, he didn’t lack mana stones, but those rare materials he needed, and the mana stones required for each of them, were all sky-high prices and hard to find.

Velen’s appearance had ignited a spark of hope in his heart.

Hearing this, Anastasia, thinking about how Aiden, the berserker, and Robert, the level-9 alchemist, had already joined the fortress, felt a bit of a headache.

Another big shot wanted to join the fortress?

Although he wouldn’t be joining the Guardians, if too many senators joined, would they end up with more senators than regular members?

While Anastasia was feeling speechless, Ethan, noticing her hesitation, persuaded:

“Anastasia, you’ve only just established the fortress, and aside from Protector Kevin, there aren’t any strong awakeners, right? This place is on the edge of the Titan Galaxy, very dangerous. My strength and connections here will be very helpful!”

As a smith master, Ethan had vast networks and was connected to the top forces and strongest individuals!

With such a weighty background, he was qualified to join any faction and become a senator.

Seeing that Ethan was insistent on joining, Anastasia reluctantly nodded.

Anyway, with Aiden and Robert already there, it wouldn’t hurt to let him join as well.

And she knew very well that Ethan’s joining was most likely for Velen’s sake. Since that was the case, let Velen deal with it.

She wanted to see how Velen, the vice captain, would turn the fortress into something different!

Victoria, seeing Anastasia agreeing, also showed a faint smile.

As Master Ethan’s mentee, wherever Ethan went, she would naturally follow.

Before, she had been hesitant about how to join the fortress and probe Velen’s background, but now, she didn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Meanwhile, at the edge of Taina Planet…

“Those guys are too arrogant. This is a transit star, with many ships, fleets, and awakeners passing through, and they dare to speed through, recklessly releasing mana fluctuations to probe? They’re looking for death!”

“You, an Apprentice Rank nobody, shouldn’t speak too much. Didn’t you see the sun, moon, and star symbols on them? They’re the top awakeners from Triad Sanctum!”

“My heavens, Triad Sanctum could become a top-tier force, and they’re sending so many strong awakeners here?”

“I don’t know, but I heard that Simon, the lord of Triad Sanctum, survived the first Judgement of RULEs and has entered the Ascended Rank of awakeners!”

Many people on Taina Planet were discussing.

“Speed up, everyone. We need to investigate thoroughly. The aura of Mourning of the Fallen is on this planet!”

“No matter who it is, anyone who dares to harm my son must pay the price in blood!”

Simon, the leader, had a cold expression and a murderous aura.

Behind him, a group of Triad Sanctum’s strong members had cold eyes and an icy killing intent. As they moved, violent winds followed.

Back with Velen…

“This planet is so boring.”

After leaving the forge shop, Velen, led by Ironback Centipede, started wandering.

Compared to Chaos City, which he had visited before, these places felt rather primitive and barbaric. There was none of the modern atmosphere or entertainment like in Chaos City.

This left Velen somewhat disappointed.

Hearing Velen’s complaint, Ironback Centipede didn’t know what to say. For spellbeasts and other awakeners, upgrading and ascending to the upper plane universe was their main goal.

They were always busy, never bored.

Only someone like Velen, who seemed to have everything, could feel bored.

But as Velen’s mount, Ironback Centipede certainly couldn’t complain. The image of that one-eyed red-haired man still lingered in his mind.

If he offended Velen, the consequences would be terrible!

“If the master is bored, I know a place you might enjoy!”

Suddenly, Ironback Centipede looked towards the north of Taina Planet, where there was a bustling area with many commercial streets.

By now, he understood Velen; the master seemed to enjoy showing off wealth.

The commercial street there seemed like the perfect place to satisfy that need.

Velen, hearing this, became a little interested.

“Let’s go check it out. If we find something interesting and have the chance to show off, that would be perfect.”

Since he was idle anyway, why not?

So, following Ironback Centipede’s lead, Velen went straight to the bustling commercial street.

As soon as they arrived, Velen heard many vendors calling out, selling their goods.

“Come, come, take a look! Don’t miss out! I have many rare items from Singularity Battlefield, including some precious treasures!”

“Look here, fresh ore from the Fourth Warzone, perfect for forging top-tier magical weapons!”

“I have many skill books, all from the Singularity Battlefield ruins. Some are incomplete, but if they came from Singularity Battlefield, they’re certainly high quality!”

Velen listened to the calls and looked at the shops and stalls along the street.

Here, they sold all kinds of things, many of them materials from Singularity Battlefield.

As a transit star, there were also plenty of unique products from other planes, making the street lively and bustling.

However, while there was a lot of stuff, most of it was of low quality. Velen…
