I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"S-grade quality, 14.7 grams," Begate's hands trembled as he stared intently at the Energy Baryte. He had been in this business for decades, and this was the first time he'd seen a Level Three Energy Baryte firsthand!

"Mr. Begate, I just want to know how much it can sell for," Zhang Menglong asked with a smile.

"Master, please wait for a moment. I need to call in our company's expert to appraise it," Begate said, his hand gesturing twice in the air, evoking a holographic image that appeared in mid-air.

An elderly man with a bent stature glanced at Begate, "Begate, if you're wasting my time, next time you come to the company, I'll definitely give you a beating!"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Begate, this time you have no chance of hitting me. I've managed to get a Level Three Baryte!"

"Level Three Baryte?" The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened. A Level Three Baryte, a Level Two civilization might not see one even over decades!

Level One and Two barytes could be used for functions, but the energy level and strength of Level Three or higher barytes undergo massive transformations. To use them for power generation would be sheer waste!

Only top-tier destructive weapons and powerful warships would utilize such Level Three or higher barytes! Therefore, Level Three Baryte is truly an exceedingly rare item; even appraisers from various company branches might not see several Level Three barytes in a lifetime.

"Bring it closer for me to see," the elderly man urged.

Zhang Menglong moved the baryte closer, and the old man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Purity has reached the first-class of the S-grade, tsk tsk tsk, although it's a bit small in size, someone will definitely be willing to pay a high price," the elderly man remarked enviously. "Begate, once you're done with this deal, you could retire directly."

"This Level Three baryte, I'll offer a purchase price of 2.5 trillion Izek Crystal Coins."

"Wuhu!" Zhang Menglong's face nearly creased with laughter upon hearing the price; he had transformed from a pauper to a billionaire.

"Master, if you're okay with this price, I'll immediately apply for funds from the company."

"How long will that take?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Rest assured, it shouldn't take longer than the time it takes to process one baryte. You can spend the time looking around more."

"Alright, let's go with this price!" Zhang Menglong agreed eagerly.

In any case, his objective now had shifted from making money to toppling this non-playable factory.

After making a complete round, other than a Level Three baryte this layer had only Level One barytes. Zhang Menglong, fueled by the idea of a no-hold-barred policy, bought all the baryte-bearing crystals without hesitation.

"Master, we can complete the transaction now!"

"Take it away!" Zhang Menglong casually tossed the blue Level Three Energy Baryte to Begate as if it were nothing more than a worthless stone; meanwhile, the entire 2.5 trillion Izek Crystal Coins had already been sent to Zhang Menglong's account.

And Begate, through this commission alone, earned 25 billion Izek Crystal Coins, achieving complete financial freedom.

"Master, shall we keep going?" No one ever complains about having too little money; people's desires are never satisfied. Region Five had ten layers in total, and they had just finished exploring the first layer. Who knows if there might be another Level Three Energy Baryte in the remaining nine layers?

"Continue! Of course, continue! Why wouldn't we?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "You all wait for me a bit; I'll take care of something first!"

"Alright, I'll start processing this batch of barytes right away!" Given the high value of these items, Begate dared not neglect them. The company would soon send personnel specifically to transport this batch of Energy Baryte safely to the company, at which point his commission could be realized immediately!

Zhang Menglong dialed Ireel's communicator once more.

Ireel was lounging in his luxurious mansion. As the youngest son of the Lord, Ireel owned a vast estate on the home planet, accompanied by hundreds or even thousands of servants and bodyguards.

"Was the money delivered?" Ireel asked a servant nearby.

"Yes, Master, it's been delivered to Mr. Zhang Menglong already," the servant replied respectfully. "But Master, will helping him truly earn favor? Though he is a Level Four life form, he might not wish to stand against your siblings."

"Hahaha," Ireel laughed, "I'm not 100% sure he'll aid me; just a bit of goodwill is enough. 80 billion Izek Crystal Coins don't count for much—just consider it an investment. If I can't get it back, it's just money down the drain; the annual tax income from the planet in my name is much more than that."

"You're quite generous, indeed."

"It's just a gambler's mindset," Ireel said calmly. "If 80 billion Izek Crystal Coins can buy me the help of a Level Four life form, that's a huge gain. If it fails, it's just a minor loss."

"Oh? More news on him!" Ireel put down the drink-filled cup in his hand, "Brother Zhang Menglong, are you facing difficulties? If you need more money, I could assist you!"

"No no no!" Zhang Menglong replied, "I'm here to repay the money!"

"Repay the money?" Ireel was momentarily stunned; his servant had just come back, and Zhang Menglong had only gotten the money for a few hours at most--80 billion Izek Crystal Coins, did he rob a bank?

Moreover, Zhang Menglong had said he'd return double to him, which would be 160 billion Izek Crystal Coins!

It wasn't that Ireel craved the extra 80 billion; he just couldn't fathom how an outsider could earn that kind of money in such a short span.

"Give me an account, and I'll transfer the money to you," Zhang Menglong said.

"Alright, transfer it to this account," Ireel provided a bank account.

Soon, Ireel received a message: his account balance increased by 800 billion Izek Crystal Coins!

"Wait! 800 billion?" Ireel suddenly realized that Zhang Menglong had actually repaid him 800 billion!

"Brother Zhang, what is this..."

"Just returning your money, the extra as interest!"

"But... you've given far too much!"

"Not too much, not too much; this is the testament to our friendship, just chill!" Zhang Menglong casually remarked, "You seem like a straightforward person; you've definitely earned my friendship."

"How did you get this money?" Though aware the question was somewhat intrusive, Ireel couldn't resist asking.

"Simple, really. I spent a few hours at your planet's mineral factory, got lucky, and found a Level Three Energy Baryte, and sold it for 2.5 trillion—I was concerned you might be tight for money, so I quickly repaid you."

"What? Level Three Energy Baryte?" Ireel's voice quivered.

Of course, Zhang Menglong could quickly repay the money, along with ten times more! This is even faster than robbing a bank!

"Brother Zhang, your luck is truly incredible," Ireel marveled, "Our entire planet hasn't found a Level Three Baryte in years, yet you've encountered one. I'm envious; I can't even muster up that much money!"

"You don't need to feel inferior," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "I never judge my friends based on their wealth—after all, they certainly don't have more than me."

"Uh..."

"Oh, gotta go, I think I just found a Level Two Baryte!" Zhang Menglong suddenly said, "Hey, can someone move over those over 1000 Level One barytes for me, they're taking up space. Anyway, I'm busy now; catch up for drinks sometime!"

"Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang?" Ireel was completely stunned. Zhang Menglong's words seemed to mention something about "1000 Energy Barytes"—what on earth is he doing?

Ireel's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

"Master, where are you going?"

"To the mineral factory, to see exactly what's up with my brother Zhang Menglong!"
