Chapter 133

"Truly a wealthy tycoon!"

"Even someone like me who doesn't love money is a bit tempted."

Lin Qi looked at the string of zeros on the invitation and couldn't help but sigh.

One could only say.

The foundation of a family with tens of thousands of years of accumulation was truly unimaginable.

Don't look at Yarilo these past few years, selling strengthening needles, selling healing medicine, and some specialties, with business booming.

But in fact, what they earned didn't even reach a fraction of what others had.

It could be said they weren't even on the same order of magnitude.

At this moment.

The credits offered in the invitation were enough to rebuild three Yarilo star systems!

Lin Qi converted it.

This money converted into resources was enough for him to build several more stellar megastructures!

One must know.

Although there were twenty-eight stars in Lin Qi's stellar mine.

But if one really counted, they weren't all stellar megastructures.

Some were just defensive facilities in the mine.

Or other supporting equipment.

And it took Lin Qi over ten years to accumulate these.

But right now.

The huge sum of money now offered by this family within the IPC was enough for Lin Qi to build another batch of megastructures.

"For the sake of this money, I'll make a trip."

Lin Qi thought so.

Anyway, he was going out this time too.

Might as well do it on the way.

Thinking this.

Lin Qi agreed to the request in the invitation.

And set the meeting time.

Soon.

Three days passed.

Everything was ready, and Lin Qi took his research spaceship and left Yarilo again.

However, this time.

Besides him, there were quite a few other people on the ship.

For example, "guard" Miss Miss Xueyi, "secretary" Pela, "student" Clara, "mechanic" Serval.

Even...

Firefly was brought along.

She didn't leave with the Stellaron Hunters.

According to her, the entropy loss problem had been solved, and following the Stellaron Hunters on adventures didn't seem necessary anymore.

Moreover.

She was now the "Empress" of the Yarilo Iron Cavalry and should stay with Lin Qi instead.

However, this Iron Cavalry currently only had her.

Coming out this time, the purpose was actually very simple: to see the scenery he hadn't noticed before.

After all, she hadn't had so much time to stop before.

Now, though.

She could finally take a good look at this world.

Interstellar travel, generally speaking, wasn't easy; after all, the vast majority of spaceships had very limited space.

But Lin Qi's ship definitely didn't include these.

The reason was simple.

Lin Qi's ship could now be completely called a "Little Luofu Luofu Xianzhou," with quite a few cave-heavens inside.

Not only that, there was also a small dream space.

So.

Living on it wouldn't be much different from living on a planet.

Additionally.

Lin Qi also gave this ship a name.

He called it "Azure."

There was no special meaning; it was just named after the planet he was on after crossing over, meaning Azure Planet.

Lin Qi wouldn't be like Herta, naming a space station after himself.

As for the first stop of this trip.

It wasn't the stellar mine.

But the place where the invitation was sent from.

The location of that family in the IPC.

"Fleming family?"

"Hmm..."

"I wonder what relationship they have with the IPC founder."

IPC executives at most reached P48.

There was nowhere higher to go.

Because P49 were the two founders.

One of the names was Louis Fleming.

It was hard to say that this Fleming family had no relationship with this founder.

Although they hadn't admitted it, Lin Qi felt that there was still some connection, more or less.

Otherwise, how could they use the IPC's power to become so big?

Very obviously.

This couldn't be a coincidence.

However, this didn't have much to do with Lin Qi; he was too lazy to study the relationship, anyway, as long as there was money to be made.

Another few days passed.

Lin Qi arrived at a habitable planet.

Just from the outside, this planet didn't have anything special.

But only after landing did he know.

What this planet had been transformed into.

It was almost completely a private tourist planet, with non-natural traces visible everywhere, and even many mountains had been carved.

Just like a gardener pruning a garden.

"Truly having money with nowhere to spend it, idle enough to polish and wax mountain ranges."

Lin Qi glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh.

If it were him.

He definitely wouldn't waste money on such meaningless things.

Wouldn't it be better to build another fleet?

But considering this family's status in the IPC, it seemed it could only be used here.

Let them build their own fleet?

They already had one.

Why continue building?

Moreover.

The IPC would also protect them.

So there was no need at all to let them invest in the fleet.

Better to spend money to make oneself happy.

"Commander, how rich is this Fleming family?" Pela pushed her glasses and calculated silently.

She estimated how many years it would take for Yarilo to transform a planet into this appearance.

Before long.

The conclusion she reached was that if it were the Yarilo before Lin Qi came.

I'm afraid they would never be able to afford it.

Because at that time, Yarilo's output value probably couldn't even catch up to the interest generated by a fraction of theirs.

And even the transformed Yarilo would need at least several years.

Of course.

This was just counting the Yarilo planet, not the entire star system.

If it were the output of the entire star system, and it took several years to transform one planet, Lin Qi wouldn't need to build any fleet; he couldn't afford this money at all.

But this was enough to show the wealth of the Fleming family.

According to Pela's understanding, this planet was just one of their many assets.

And it wasn't open to the public.

That is to say, transforming this planet wasn't intended to break even.

"Don't know."

Lin Qi shook his head and continued, "I only know they invited me here, and the offer is this much."

Lin Qi held up one finger.

"One... one trillion?" Pela tried to say a number.

"You underestimate their financial power, and you underestimate my influence. I'll give you a chance to guess again." Lin Qi laughed.

"Wouldn't it be one hundred trillion?" Pela guessed again.

"Flip it ten more times, and that's the correct answer." Lin Qi replied, his tone indifferent.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Pela's eyes widened, shocked.

Flip it ten more times...

Wouldn't that be one quadrillion?

Whether the annual output value of many planets could even reach one trillion was a question.

Even for Penacony, the annual output value was far from reaching this number.

If it were dividends, it would only be less.

For a moment.

Pela couldn't help but start thinking about how many things could be done with this money on Yarilo.

Then she reached a conclusion.

It wasn't about how many things could be done on Yarilo, but how many Yarilo star systems could be built!

"Too outrageous." Pela sighed.

"Right? Otherwise, why do you think I came?" Lin Qi laughed.

Although money isn't omnipotent, the vast majority of problems can truly be solved with money.

Even...

Attracting a genius.

At this moment.

Regarding this money, Lin Qi had already thought about how to spend it.

Hmm...

Let's build three more stellar megastructures.

However, this time.

It wouldn't be placed in the stellar mine, but near the Yarilo star system.

And Lin Qi already had a plan for the first megastructure.

An upgraded Sentry Array.

That is, a Celestial Navigation Tower!

It wouldn't say it could "light up the whole map," but at least it could let Lin Qi see further.

Then another Matter Recombiner.

It had no other effect; it was just for mining.

It could convert matter.

In that case, whether it was building a fleet, or a legion and Iron Cavalry, the rare mineral materials needed would no longer need to be imported.

He could refine them himself.

To some extent, it could throw stones in and spit out gold.

And it was production on an astronomical scale.

Truly turning stones into gold, producing whatever was missing.

However, it needed to be built on a black hole.

As for the last megastructure, it was a defensive facility.

That is, a Planetary Wave Cannon.

Although it had many limitations, such as being unable to move once set up, and unable to attack places outside the star system.

But its defensive capability was quite good.

It was just right for the already formed Yarilo star system.

After all, although the current Yarilo had a fleet and Geothermal power, the high-end defensive power was actually a bit tight.

As long as Lin Qi left, Yarilo's combat power would drop by a large chunk.

So.

The Planetary Wave Cannon was very necessary.

At least it could compensate for high-end combat power within the planet.

Lin Qi was thinking.

Miss Miss Xueyi suddenly spoke.

"Doctor, people from the Fleming family are here."

"Quite fast, then let's go down too."

The next thing.

Was the pleasantries and greetings between the head of the Fleming family and Lin Qi.

After a friendly exchange and a banquet.

The quadrillion genius investment plan was thus reached.

The Fleming family didn't play any tricks, nor did they set conditions, promising to pay the funds in batches into Yarilo's account within one year.

To fund the construction of Yarilo.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi naturally wouldn't object.

Nonsense.

If someone rushed to give money, he would be a fool not to agree.

However, regarding why they were so persistent, Lin Qi could understand it very well.

Because of the Anywhere Door.

Anyone who had experienced it would admit it was a great invention that changed the era.

If they were investors, they would even more regret why they hadn't participated in a share?

This was a huge project that could rebuild another big family.

The Fleming family was one of the members of the regret group.
