I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Dean, you really don't need to go to all this trouble. To solve this problem, just let that guy named O'Lawrence handle it directly. With just one word from him, not to mention Sebosk Corporation, even the lord of the Durank Civilization who has an eye on Earth would be scared out of his wits!"

"You don't know shit!" Zhang Menglong launched into a rant, "Have you lost your sense of strategy? I'm nearly out of Cred Points. If I don't find more opportunities to show off, how can I unlock even more badass teachers? How will I protect myself when in danger?"

"If I don't show up in person and let them feel the weight of my vast connections, how can I possibly pull this off?"

"You have to know, no one in the world understands showing off better than I, Menglong Trump!"

"Lord of Showoffs, my apologies..."

...

"Lord O'Lawrence? You were looking for me?"

After ending the call with Zhang Menglong, O'Lawrence immediately got in touch with the Izek civilization's lord, Renno Izek.

These past few days, Renno was restless, as if a giant stone pressed on his heart due to the Sebosk Corporation affair.

The moment he received O'Lawrence's message, Renno's mind went blank. Could it be that the people from Sebosk Corporation had already found the Galactic lord to handle this matter?

But to the lord, this was merely a small issue. The people from Sebosk Corporation were fully capable of handling it themselves. Why would the lord be disturbed to take care of it personally? Isn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

"Renno, are you interested in selling your Izek civilization?" O'Lawrence came straight to the point.

"Huh?" In his head, he had just envisioned a catastrophic tragedy, and this question bewildered him. Wasn't the lord coming to settle scores?

"An esteemed person is interested in purchasing your Izek civilization. He offers a price of 100 million Cosmic Coins. Are you willing to sell?"

"100 million Cosmic Coins?"

If heaven could drop a pie, what just happened would certainly qualify.

His Izek civilization contained over 1000 Level One civilizations, but none were highly developed. Advanced Level Ones made up less than 5%, with most still at basic levels. Averaging out, each civilization's worth estimated around 30,000 Cosmic Coins, totaling about 50 million for the entire civilization.

This offer of 100 million Cosmic Coins doubled that value!

It's not that he couldn't earn this money, but relying on taxes, it would take him hundreds of thousands of years to make that amount!

He had always sought breakthroughs in Martial Dao, which required immense resources, something his annual tax income barely supported. With 100 million Cosmic Coins, he could even join a Level Four civilization's dojo, greatly speeding up his progress!

Moreover, he was facing such a headache now; selling the civilization would mean relieving a huge burden. He could leave at will, take his family, and go wherever, leaving even Sebosk Corporation powerless to reach him that far!

"Sell! Of course I'll sell!" Renno nodded repeatedly. Even for just 50 million Cosmic Coins, he would sell the civilization without hesitation!

"Great," O'Lawrence displayed a satisfied expression. Although he didn't understand why Renno was eager to sell, his agreement meant Zhang Menglong's side was covered.

"Oh, by the way, he also bought several surrounding Level Two civilizations."

"He bought more than one?"

"A total of ten!" O'Lawrence said. This 6 billion Cosmic Coins could almost purchase all the civic planets in the Galaxy, but since the buyer didn't mind spending, O'Lawrence decided to sell ten.

With the resulting difference, he could earn at least 5 billion Cosmic Coins!

"I'll let those civilizations' lords come to your place, and the buyer might be on your planet now. I'll have the notary office come to you to finalize the asset transfers and transfer the money to your account."

"Yes!"

"In my house?" Renno scratched his head.

He had just heard O'Lawrence refer to the mysterious buyer as "an esteemed person." If a lord from a Level Three civilization called someone "esteemed," that person was surely significant, at least of a Level Four civilization.

Could they even be from a Level Five civilization?

With someone that formidable in his house, how could he be unaware?

Buying ten Level Two civilizations at once would likely require about 1 billion Cosmic Coins, wouldn't it? Who could this be?

"No way, got to notify those youngsters immediately!" Renno suddenly thought of the rambunctious bunch of his children. Should they accidentally offend this significant figure, not just the Izek civilization, even the entire Galactic civilization might get wiped out!

...

That day, Ireel's siblings didn't trouble Zhang Menglong. They merely had everyone gathered at Ireel's place, forbidding them from leaving; everything would be decided by their father.

But Renno didn't have the time to handle it. He just wanted to complete the civilization trade quickly and skedaddle.

As for Zhang Menglong, he never planned on leaving today; he had simply come to hang out at Ireel's place.

It's undeniable; Level Two civilization games were leagues ahead of Level One. He spent the entire night playing games in Ireel's room, and that virtual world was more perfect and exhilarating than reality.

...

The next day, the Izek civilization welcomed a group of special guests: lords from nearby Level Two civilizations. Due to their special status, Renno even dispatched his exclusive guest-reception ship to greet them.

Of course, to host the guests, Renno also called on his wife and children, including Ireel. However, he had been completely sidelined by the other siblings, only chatting with Zhang Menglong in the corner about the games they played yesterday.

"Long time no see, old fellows!"

"Hahaha, who would've thought we'd get such luck this time? Someone is offering double price for our civilization."

"Wonder who this grand figure is, I heard our civilizations are just a side bonus; the bigwig initially only wanted to buy your Izek civilization."

"Really? Renno, we have you to thank indeed."

"Huh?" Renno looked utterly confused. He had no idea about this; was the offer primarily targeting the Izek civilization?

"I plan to use the money to join the Laniakea Martial Dao, maybe I can break through to Level Five Life Forms in my life."

"Hahaha, dream on about Level Five Life Forms. A Level Five civilization produces barely one Level Six life form on average."

"I'm hoping to reach Level Five life, it'd be great just to live for a few thousand years."

The lords chatted amiably, evidently having good relationships normally.

Transactions involving Level Two civilizations require notarization by a supervising Level Three civilization. The Galaxy's lord said the notary would reach the Izek civilization today.

"They're here!"

A silver-gray ship slowly descended above Renno's residence.

The notary office is a civilization-level organization. If a Level Two civilization is a district, then a Level Three civilization is a city, and the notary office has a status equivalent to a city government.

Such ships are free to enter Level Two civilizations without having to dock at ports before entering.

"Is everyone here?" A slightly bald Galactic native in black clothes stepped out of the ship. His Life Level was only Level Three, lower than those of the lords, but even they had to show him respect.

"Yes, but where's the lord buying our civilizations?"

"Who here is Mr. Ireel Izek?"

Ireel in the crowd froze for a moment, "I... It's me. What do you need me for?"

The notary's demeanor instantly became incredibly humble, far more so than when dealing with the lords.

"What are you talking about, my esteemed lord? Of course, I'm here to carry out the civilization transfer notarization for you!"
