Chapter 805: Is it your turn to speak here?
"Mr. Zhang, your bank account has been successfully migrated. From now on, any of your spending can be directly processed through your Cosmic Citizen Identity Card!"
"Great, thank you!"
In just a few days, Zhang Menglong went from having nothing to becoming a billionaire, and then, just a day later, he found himself becoming the richest man in the universe.
"Brother Zhang, how on earth did your ancestor manage to become a shareholder in so many major companies in just a few thousand years?" Ireel racked his brains but couldn't figure out what exactly happened during that time.
"I'm not sure either," Zhang Menglong shook his head. "I never met that ancestor of mine, but he did quite well, apparently. I had always known our family was rich."
"Hey, as a five-star user, should I have some privileges?" Zhang Menglong asked. For instance, on Earth, if you have several million in deposits each year, a bank manager would be at your house with gifts during the holidays.
You could even get free cabin upgrades on high-speed trains, planes, etc., and free food services. They practically worshipped you like a deity.
If you had billions in deposits, you could even ask for the bank manager's daughter to marry you, and the manager would probably prepare a dowry for you with a huge grin.
That's just on their little Earth; for such a massive Cosmic Bank, this treatment should be thousands of times better, right?
"How would I know? I'm not even a one-star user. I only know that my father's account gets a 3% discount on shopping!"
"Forget it, asking you is pointless," Zhang Menglong turned to the Artificial Intelligence. "Tell me, does my account have any special privileges?"
"Special permissions are only available to the account owner. Please ensure there are no bystanders nearby." The AI was obviously referring to Izek.
"I'll just take my leave!" Izek wisely exited the system. Did he have the right to see such things?
...
"Alright, you can speak now?" Zhang Menglong looked at the AI girl.
"As a top-level five-star user, you will also enjoy the services of our exclusive team. Any of your shopping orders will be processed first through the Cosmic Bank's network, and you'll also have access to our bodyguard services!"
"Bodyguard services?" Zhang Menglong perked up — that's exactly what he needed now!
"Explain it!"
"Sure, we offer you two types of services. One is personal combat protection; we can assign up to 100 Level Six Life Forms as your bodyguards, and these are from our collaboration with the Cosmic Martial Dao Association."
"Level Six Life Forms? Not bad!" Even in Zhang Menglong's Super God Academy, there weren't many teachers of this level yet, and it's free. "What else?"
"We will provide you with a fleet from a Level Five Civilization free of charge," the AI said. "All ships are built to the current highest standards; even crossing the longest distances via wormhole takes only three months!"
"That's too long," Zhang Menglong shook his head. "What if I need it right now?"
"If you need it now, we can mobilize a fleet from the nearest Twin Whales Cosmic Empire. Of course, it isn't as good as your exclusive fleet, but the advantage is proximity; it takes only half a day at most to reach you, and private bodyguards can also be quickly dispatched from the nearest Level Five Civilization and martial schools."
"Your services are quite impressive!" Zhang Menglong laughed.
"However, both the fleet and the martial artists provided to you may only be mobilized when your personal safety is threatened; they cannot participate in any inter-civilization conflict," the AI added.
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong initially thought he could use them freely, then he could've ordered the fleet to blast that Durank Civilization to bits, even the Galaxy's Lord wouldn't dare utter a word!
"Forget it!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, well, now he has money; if the bank's services aren't enough, he could buy a fleet himself. With this much money, buying a shipyard to build his own fleet shouldn't be a problem either."
"Let's proceed like this then," Zhang Menglong said. "Arrange a fleet to join me, and don't let it be discovered by any other civilization!"
"Rest assured, respected customer. When a Level Five Civilization's fleet is deployed, even if an entire Level Four Civilization's homeworld were destroyed, they wouldn't know who did it, let alone a Level One Civilization."
"Excellent!" Zhang Menglong nodded in satisfaction.
"Later, I'll let the fleet captain liaise with you. For any combat missions, just give orders to him directly."
"Done!" Zhang Menglong logged out of the system as well, "Shall we go? Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to your home? I have nothing else planned today, so let's visit your place!"
"Well..."
"What? Don't want to? If not, I'll leave?"
"That's not what I mean," Izek said helplessly. "I'm just afraid you'll dismiss my home as shabby!"
How could the house of a Level Two Civilization Lord be shabby? It is built to the highest standards of the civilization!
But honestly, standing next to a Cosmic Bank's five-star customer, whose account's petty change could probably buy thousands of Izek civilizations...
In front of him, their home could practically be considered Syrian-style decor, you know what I mean?
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Menglong laughed. "I grew up in a Level One Elementary Civilization, I should be the one worried about looking unsophisticated!"
"Hahaha, alright, you can stay at my place tonight, and I'll introduce you to my brothers and sisters!" The mist in Izek's heart cleared, and he felt much better.
The night before, he stayed up worrying about whether Zhang Menglong's safety would bring trouble to their civilization, but now, what's there to worry about?
Sebosk Corporation? What a joke!
Galactic Lords? What a joke?
Even the ancestors of the Sebosk family, if they were still alive, would be a joke!
In Cosmic Civilizations, all military assets can be sold to private individuals. As long as you have money, even if you're from a Level One Civilization, you can buy Level Five Civilization ships and hire Level Five or higher Life Forms as your bodyguards!
A Cosmic Bank five-star user has as much money as there are resources!
If Zhang Menglong only crushed one of their branches, even if he partied on top of Sebosk's ancestral graves, as long as they knew who Zhang Menglong was, they wouldn't dare utter a word; they'd even have to provide the background music!
...
"Here's my home!" Izek brought Zhang Menglong to his estate. This was where a Lord lived, and every wife and child had a place here. Obviously, most of the time, his siblings and those mothers weren't around.
"Not bad!" Zhang Menglong relished the high-tech comfort. "Someday, I'll have to renovate our planet like this."
"Hahaha, with your wealth, this is far from the limit." Izek smiled.
"Izek! You have the nerve to come back?"
A cold voice emerged from Izek's room.
"Who's this?" Zhang Menglong noticed that there were already over ten people in Izek's room, men and women, all with some resemblance to Izek. "Your brothers and sisters?"
"Yes." Izek nodded, his expression turning a bit sullen. The rivalry among the Lord's children for future inheritance was tense.
"Izek, how dare you offend Sebosk Corporation, are you crazy?"
"You should apologize to them, do not drag our civilization into this!"
"Exactly, maybe they'll spare you."
"Why are we giving him options, brothers? Let's just hand him over to Sebosk Corporation!"
"Right!"
"Enough!" Zhang Menglong stood before Izek, "Who the hell are you people to speak here?"
