I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Ireel, what's wrong with you? Why such an exaggerated expression? Is this five-star user level very high?" Zhang Menglong curiously looked at Ireel.

His expression couldn't be described as just surprised; it was almost as if he had seen a ghost!

"Brother Zhang, are you really from a planet that hasn't joined the Universal Alliance yet?" Ireel repeatedly confirmed, his voice even trembling.

Was this really a secret he ought to know? Knowing for so long, surely he wouldn't be silenced, would he?

"Of course, it's true," Zhang Menglong said, "I'll be honest with you, our planet is called Earth. Not long ago, a spaceship from a Level Two civilization called the Durando civilization visited. I blasted that spaceship, but it transmitted our planet's information back to its home planet. I had no choice but to try my luck with the bank account my ancestors left to me."

"Is that so?" Seeing Zhang Menglong's sincere look, Ireel believed him somewhat. Moreover, Zhang Menglong didn't seem to be faking; he really seemed to not know what the so-called five-star user meant.

He just didn't know what Zhang Menglong's ancestors did over those two to three thousand years, accumulating such a huge fortune!

"You haven't answered my question," Zhang Menglong said. "Is this five-star user really that badass?"

"Badass?"

"Means very powerful."

"It's more than badass! It's explosively badass!" Ireel explained, "Let me first explain to you about the Cosmic Bank's user levels. Ordinary users have bank accounts ranging from Level One to Level Nine, note, these here are levels, not 'stars.'"

"Most accounts have no levels. If the currency of a Level One civilization in your account reaches one million, that's Level One. If it exceeds one million of a Level Five civilization's currency, in our Cosmic Empire, which is the Twin Whales Currency, it's Level Five!"

"One million Level Five civilization's currency is just 100 Cosmic Coins. Beyond that, if you have 10,000 Cosmic Coins, your bank account can reach Level Six, and with every hundredfold increase thereafter, you gain another level!"

"So a Level Nine account would be 10 billion Cosmic Coins?" Zhang Menglong calculated, "What standing is this 10 billion at?"

"Given the price of a Level One life planet is 1 to 100,000 Cosmic Coins, 10 billion Cosmic Coins is almost the total asset of a Level Three civilization's Lord. My father's account is just Level Seven at the moment.

"What does this star-level user mean then?"

"That's the most shocking part," Ireel said. "To become a star-level user, firstly, you must be a life form surpassing Level Five; only then can you qualify to apply for a star-level card."

This was something Zhang Menglong had no doubt about, given that his parents were already handling Level Nine life forms, and they were only just over fifty. His ancestor Zhang Kai was thousands of years old; he must've been incredibly badass, wasn't he?

"What about the other requirements?"

"You need to own assets from an entire Level Five civilization!" Ireel said, "So in other words, even if you're a Level Four civilization Lord, no matter how rich you are, you can't apply for a five-star account!"

"According to this benchmark, the starting point for these star-level accounts must be at least one trillion Cosmic Coins." Zhang Menglong suddenly felt that the wealth left by Zhang Kai was not just a small asset, and definitely not just "a little bit of an asset," it had to be 'a billion bits' of an asset!"

According to the Cosmic Civilization's conversion of unit over a billion Cosmic Coins, one trillion Cosmic Coins is a 'star' unit, hence when you have 1 star of assets in the Cosmic Bank, you can be called a star-level user!"

"Then this Level Nine account my ancestor left me..." Zhang Menglong was already estimating highly the assets left by his ancestors, possibly several million or even tens of millions of Cosmic Coins.

But it was clear that his view was still too small, and not just by a little bit.

"Star-level users, like ordinary level users, also have assets that multiply 100 times. Currently, the highest level account in the Cosmic Bank is five-star only, so the assets your ancestors left are nothing short compared to the five-star threshold!"

"Oh my god!" Zhang Menglong was powerless to be sarcastic anymore, "Check the balance for me!"

Zhang Menglong said to the sweetly smiling Artificial Intelligence. 10000000000

"Please wait, your current balance in the five-star account is 17,367.... stars, and the assets in the account are real-time dynamic changes."

"Damn!" Zhang Menglong noticed that his account balance had a dense number of zeroes even more than the highest five-star threshold by three more digits!

Even the last three digits were increasing at a rate of one every five to six seconds.

Bear in mind, this account balance uses 'star' as units, and Zhang Menglong's assets increase by 1 star every few seconds, meaning an increase in a Level Five civilization every few seconds!

"Brother Zhang, now that I know about your business, you won't kill me to silence me, right?" Ireel was already somewhat scared.

In the Cosmic Civilization, there are many powerful lawyers. No matter how nasty the case, they can find loopholes for you!

Even if Zhang Menglong wants me silenced because I know too much, if his father can't punish me, I could get taken down to the highest court of the Universal Alliance, Zhang Menglong could simply hire the top-level lawyers by paying!

In rumors, there was a lawyer in the industry with the nickname Outlaw Zhang San. If he performed poorly at trial, my father could get at most three hundred years of sentence; if he performed well, then his father, my father's hired lawyer, and their entire civilization would go in.

If Zhang San excelled, everyone who had ever showed up in court would have to go in, maybe even the person hammering the gavel and the ones on both sides of the gavel at the Universal Alliance highest court would have to go in!

This is the allure of money!

As far as he knew, there were not few people in the universe with star-level accounts, given there are billions of five-level civilizations in the entire universe.

However, those with accounts higher than three stars are less than 10,000. And those with five-star accounts, currently as an open secret, include the chairman of the Universal Alliance, the director of the Cosmic Bank, and the President of the Cosmic Martial Dao Association.

As for those whose identities are not disclosed, there absolutely won't exceed 10 people!

What kind of ancestor did Zhang Menglong have? Did he spend the two to three thousand years robbing? Otherwise, he couldn't believe anyone could have that kind of earning speed!

Entrepreneurship? What kind of venture was that? Seriously, could you lead me into this industry?

"Don't be afraid, we're good brothers; how could I harm you?" Zhang Menglong thought Ireel might have a persecution complex, "I wouldn't happen to be the richest person in the universe, would I?"

"Even if not, it's probably pretty close." Ireel said, "Why not check where those funds in your account came from."

"Makes sense!" Zhang Menglong immediately said, "Check the source of my recent account transactions."

The sky instantly filled with countless dense rows of data.

"Hirac Pharmaceuticals Corporation, shareholder dividends this Cosmic Year, 272.28271 stars."

"Jingzhao Department Store Corporation, shareholder dividends this Cosmic Year, 721.2304 stars."

"Space Leap Technology Corporation, shareholder dividends this Cosmic Year, 2771.1826 stars."

"Cosmic Dojo Corporation, shareholder dividends this Cosmic Year, 642.2822 stars."

"Cosmic Bank Corporation, shareholder dividends this Cosmic Year, 8272.1 stars."

...

"Hirac Pharmaceuticals... The largest biopharmaceutical company in the universe!"

"Jingzhao Department Store, the largest chain supermarket in the universe."

"Space Leap, they handle all the spatial jump point technology construction in the universe."

The company names are well-known even in Level One civilizations; they are almost the leading enterprises in every industry in the universe. The most outrageous part is that even the Cosmic Bank had shares owned by Zhang Menglong's ancestors!

"Brother Zhang, let me ask you a question," Ireel asked, "Does your ancestor need any more great-grandchildren? If you do, I can volunteer!"
