I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"When did Zidel Ore start having such a high yield of crystals?"

From the initial surprise, the gamblers and the staff had become numb. You call this luck? A hundred percent yield of Energy Baryte, not even all of one's ancestors coming back to life could have such luck.

Even those Crystal Stone masters couldn't achieve a hundred percent success rate!

It wasn't until all 12 pieces of ore had been processed that Zhang Menglong ended up with 11 Level One Energy Crystal Cores and one Level Two Energy Crystal Core!

Just one Level Two Crystal Core had already filled everyone with envy.

"Hello, please appraise the value of these Energy Crystals for me!" Zhang Menglong approached the purchasing desk once again.

"Oh?" The old man who appraised the crystals brightened up, "Young man, you're quite lucky. It's rare to get even two Energy Crystals in a day, let me take a look!"

"I'm sorry, you might be too busy to handle it alone," Zhang Menglong said apologetically.

"Too busy? Isn't it just an appraisal of an Energy Crystal? How could it be too much?" the old man said with a puzzled look.

But when he saw the Energy Crystal Stones being delivered from the workspace, he couldn't control his expression any longer.

Is this some kind of offering rather than an appraisal?

As an employee here, he was actually very idle. The low success rate was an obvious sign—it's practically retirement work, isn't it?

Usually, he just sipped tea and read the newspaper, and during busy times, he appraised three to five crystals. Isn't a lifetime all about seeking a peaceful and stable life?

One person uncovering over a dozen Energy Crystals at once. For all the years he had been appraising, he had never witnessed such a scene.

"Who exactly is this person?" The old man couldn't help but take a longer look at Zhang Menglong.

This sort of event was extremely rare in this ore processing plant. Someone buying 12 pieces of ore at once, and all of them containing Energy Crystals, that's no small news.

Suddenly, the sales floor of the entire factory was packed and impenetrable.

"B-grade quality, 21.5 grams, 3.12 million!"

"B-grade quality, 19.2 grams, 2.78 million!"

"C-grade quality, 23.2 grams, 2.8 million!"

"A-grade quality, 22 grams, 4.1 million!"

"S-grade quality, 28.2 grams, 6.3 million!"

"Level Two Energy Crystal Core, 26.5 grams, S-grade quality, 5.9 billion!"

...

"Sir, we can offer you a total of 59.52 billion Izek Crystal Coins for this batch of crystals, do you see any issues with that?"

"Sheesh! I've struck it rich!" Hearing this figure, even Zhang Menglong couldn't help but shiver.

A few hours ago, he was a broke pauper without a penny to his name, but now, he had made tens of billions; the cost of buying the batch of ore wasn't even a fraction of the earnings!

"Incredible!" Zhang Menglong rubbed his hands together. This was just the first level; could it be that he was about to become richer than entire countries with the upper levels?

...

"Could it be that this batch of ore is special?" someone couldn't help speculating.

Zhang Menglong looked too ordinary. Apart from being somewhat wealthy, there was nothing remarkable about him. If there was nothing unusual about the person, then the peculiarities must lie with this batch of Zidel Ore.

The crystal yield of Zidel Ore is greatly related to the location of its extraction. During the early stages of the universe's big bang, the core regions had terrifying yields, almost reaching eighty to ninety percent!

Of course, those batches of ore are controlled by the major mining corporations, and the prices are very high, almost equivalent to refined Energy Crystal Cores. They don't sell these either; generally, they process them internally.

Strictly speaking, those that are sold are nothing but hyped concepts and gimmicks. Indeed, some people have made a fortune through this, but most come back with nothing.

```

With such a high extraction rate, it's possible that the ore company made some mistake during the transportation of the ore, accidentally mixing up high-grade ore intended for direct processing with the ordinary ore, hence this situation.

Could it be that these Zidel Ores inherently have a very high probability of yielding Energy Crystals?

The gamblers began to take action, suspecting that today might be their chance to make a fortune.

"I want this piece!"

"I'll take this one!"

But dreams are full, reality is cruel; the ore they bought, emptying their life savings, ended up as nothing but rubble on the ground.

"There's something fishy about this guy!"

After several attempts, they finally confirmed that there were no issues with this batch of ore; this young man must have something special about him to be able to select the ores containing Energy Crystals with a hundred percent certainty!

"Master, teach us your ways!"

"Yes, Master!"

In their eyes, Zhang Menglong had become a Crystal Stone Master. If they could learn just a bit of his skill, they would be able to strike it rich instantly, and earn back everything they'd lost in the past, with interest!

"You've got it all wrong, I'm really not any master! It's all just luck!" Zhang Menglong said, collecting money contentedly while trying to explain to the gamblers.

"That's right! The Master relies on luck!"

"Yeah, don't talk nonsense!"

The intelligence of those from Level Two civilizations surely wouldn't be low. Zhang Menglong's denial was obviously a concern they understood.

Being able to extract Crystals with a hundred percent certainty was an incredible ability, wasn't it an easy path to marrying a rich beauty and reaching the peak of life?

If some malicious person took notice of him, that could lead to a major problem! That's why the "Master" kept attributing everything to luck. Although no one believed him, he just wouldn't admit to anything. What could they do to him?

"Master, don't go, let's go up and take a look!"

"Right, right, right, the Master has probably already bought all the ores with Crystals on this floor. Everything left here must be junk, anyone who buys is a sucker!"

"Let's go, we should check the upper floors!"

"Fine! Let's go have a look!" Zhang Menglong said with a smile. Then, surrounded by a crowd of gamblers, he took the elevator up; the sales hall on the first floor was left utterly empty.

...

"What... what should we do now?" a staff member stared at the tens of thousands of ores in the hall, all of them now deemed to be waste. How should they deal with this?

Who would spend money on waste stones? These goods worth billions would be completely wasted. With unique identifiers in place, a scan would reveal all the listing information, leaving no room for trickery!

"Go upstairs and report to the boss, it could be someone came to cause trouble!"

If he continues to buy like this, the loss won't be a simple matter of a few billion.

"What exactly is going on?" In an office at the top level of the ore factory, a middle-aged man from the Izek civilization stared coldly at the surveillance footage.

Auris, the owner of the ore factory and a representative of the entire Izek civilization, received a warning from his personal Artificial Intelligence as soon as the disturbance at the sales point began.

"Twelve Energy Crystal Cores, that's almost all of the ores on the first floor that could potentially produce Crystals." Auris was shocked to his core.

His family had been in this industry within the Izek civilization for thousands of years, and he knew well what this meant.

Even the honored Crystal Stone Masters of the entire universe couldn't guarantee a hundred percent extraction rate. A young man, what kind of experience in crystal selection could he have?

He either had a treasure with him, or he possessed a unique ability. To Auris, the former seemed more likely.

"Boss, there's trouble!" a staff member reported to him through the holographic communication system.

"I know what's happening already," Auris replied, "Find someone to warn him. If he keeps this up, our factory could go bankrupt!"
