I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"What did you say?" The attitude of this toll collector infuriated Zhang Menglong.

Ever since he had inherited his family estate, this was the first time someone had called him a pauper!

"If you have no money, leave quickly. The berths for spaceships on our Izek Planet are extremely scarce, and you are disrupting our normal management order."

"Looks like a fallen tiger is bullied by dogs!" Zhang Menglong showed a bitter smile, "Then what if I just abandon my spaceship, alright?"

It was just a Level Two civilization spaceship after all. If the money left in the bank account by Zhang Menglong's ancestors was ample, then buying a better spaceship shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Abandoning your spaceship?" The toll collector also showed a look of surprise. Although it appeared to be a very old model, it was still a Level Two civilization spaceship. Even if sold as scrap, it could fetch a decent sum. How could someone just discard it?

You say this person is poor, yet he can actually afford to simply discard a spaceship. But if you say he's rich, he can't even afford the security deposit for mooring the ship.

"How about you do me a favor and buy my ship? I'll sell it cheap," said Zhang Menglong.

Who knows if there would be other expenses on this planet? The spaceship was almost useless now, so he might as well sell it.

"Could this person be a criminal?" The toll collector suddenly had great doubts about Zhang Menglong's identity. His attire was clearly not that of the Izek civilization. Although the Izek civilization had numerous Level One civilizations under it, it seemed there was no such race.

Furthermore, this person seemed unfamiliar with everything in the cosmic civilization, even so anxious to sell his spaceship. It all seemed very shady.

"Sir, I need you to show your Universal Citizen Card!"

"What's that?" Zhang Menglong probably knew what it was—likely the equivalent of a cosmic ID card. But obviously, he didn't have such a thing.

"Sorry, I don't have the Universal Citizen Card you're talking about. It's my first time venturing out from my own planet."

"Guards! There's a person with an unknown identity in area C2. We don't understand his background, and I suspect it's a low-level civilization being that hijacked a spacecraft from some civilization to break into our Izek civilization."

Before Zhang Menglong could respond, the toll collector had already begun to call for help!

Soon, about a dozen bulky guards immediately surrounded Zhang Menglong. They must be locals from the Izek civilization and looked very similar to the toll collector, but they were much more muscular.

"Twelve Level Two life forms?" Zhang Menglong glanced at them and knew their approximate strength. Only 15 units of Energy Intensity—just average Mythical Realm Ancient Martial Artists.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Menglong looked at the toll collector, "I just want to go into your civilization to withdraw some money."

"Your identity is too suspicious. We need you to cooperate with our investigation. If you resist, we will have to use force."

"Force?" Zhang Menglong chuckled coldly. Just a Level Two civilization, and he really wasn't scared. Even if there were a Level Three civilization above them, he could still turn this place upside down and then hijack a spaceship and escape.

Zhang Menglong never did anything that would make him feel humiliated.

"I really want to see how you intend to use force on me!" Over 30 units of energy immediately began to surge inside him.

"What's happening?" When tensions were at their highest, a voice suddenly came from nearby. Another impeccably clean individual of the Izek civilization appeared. This person looked very young, with two obedient figures behind him, seeming like subordinates or servants of some sort.

"Young Master!" The toll collector immediately showed a respectful expression when he saw the young Izek local, "This person can't pay the mooring deposit for his spaceship, and he's undocumented too. I need to detain him according to regulations for investigation!"

"Undocumented?" The gaze of the one called Young Master fell upon Zhang Menglong. When he saw Zhang Menglong's spaceship, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I've paid his mooring deposit for him."

"Young Master, this..."

"What, are you planning to defy my order? You're just a minor docking port toll collector; what right do you have to question me?" The aura of a superior radiated from the young man.

"But according to the regulations..."

"The regulations were set by my father. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

"Well then, let's withdraw!"

The toll collector, along with the guards, could only leave. As natives of this planet, their job was essentially equivalent to that of a civil servant; their social status was, in fact, very high. But this was one person they could not afford to offend!

"Brother, thanks a lot!" Although Zhang Menglong did not know why this person was helping him, he still thanked him.

"What are you? Worthy to call our young master 'brother'?" Before the youth could speak, an adult behind him preemptively started to cause trouble.

"Shut up, did I allow you to speak?" The youth stopped his subordinate with a single command, "My apologies, brother. I haven't disciplined my people well enough."

Seeing how easygoing the other party was, Zhang Menglong naturally adopted a friendly attitude too, especially since this person had helped him get out of a tight spot and presumably harbored no ill will.

"My name is Ireel, the youngest son of the Lord of the Izek civilization. May I ask how to address you, brother?"

"The son of a Lord?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. As a Level Two maternal civilization with a total population of at least several hundred billion, it was quite serendipitous for him to run into the Lord's youngest son in this place. No wonder that toll collector behaved like a mouse who had seen a cat.

In cosmic civilizations, many are ruled by imperial or dictatorial systems. A Lord is the master of the entire civilization. A Level Two civilization's Lord controls everything belonging to their subordinate Level One civilizations. This status is truly extraordinary.

As for the son of a Level Two civilization's Lord, owning assets comprising dozens of Level One civilization planets is nothing out of the ordinary.

"My name is Zhang Menglong, from Earth civilization."

"Earth civilization? Our Izek civilization doesn't have such a civilization, does it?"

"I come from a Level One civilization located more than 2400 light-years away. Our civilization hasn't joined the Universal Alliance yet."

"No wonder," Ireel nodded in understanding. That's why Zhang Menglong couldn't produce a Universe Citizen card; he genuinely was an undocumented resident from a remote area.

"Bonika, use my privileges to help brother Zhang Menglong with the Universe Citizen registration."

"Yes, young master."

"Brother, may I have a contact method? I will have someone deliver your Universe Citizen card to you."

"This..." Zhang Menglong did want to give a contact method, as having more friends in a foreign land meant more pathways available, but...

"Director, that's a basic function of Artificial Intelligence. Give him this string of numbers."

With Gou Dan's instructions, Zhang Menglong recited a series of numbers.

"Alright, then. Goodbye, if fate allows!"

The young gentleman didn't insist on detaining Zhang Menglong, confirmed the contact information without issues, smiled at him, and then left.

"What an odd person!" Zhang Menglong watched Ireel's retreating figure, then started looking for a way to enter the Izek civilization.

...

"Young master, why did you..."

"Are you asking why I was so keen to help an undocumented resident?"

"Yes, I don't understand."

"Heh, if you had noticed that his Energy Level had reached that of a Level Four life form just now, you would know why."

"What? A Level Four life form?" The middle-aged man was stunned; even the Lord of their civilization was merely a Level Four life form! In the entire Level Two civilization, there was only one Level Four life form - the Lord himself!

"And you dared to offend him? Do you have a death wish?"
