Chapter 89: Financial Investment

Inside the Guotai's control room.

Lei Shen murmured, "Didn't the fourth brother say he obtained the Meteor Ink Star inheritance? It seems I have received the Kabuu Realm Lord's inheritance."

"What's going on?" Xiao Yu smiled and asked.

"Earlier I briefly reviewed those five sets of secret arts and inserted five crystals respectively. Four of the sets are proper secret arts, but the crystal of the fifth set actually contains an intelligence—the white‑bearded old man," Lei Shen said in a low voice.

"Lord Wu!"

"Indeed, it's the Lord Wu who appeared over the Thunder Castle," Lei Shen said, patting his bald head, restraining his excitement.

"Congratulations, second brother," Xiao Yu said sincerely.

One day later.

Virtual Universe, Heilongshan Island, Xiao Yu's home.

Hong, Lei Shen, Xiao Yu, and Luo Feng lay on the beach, basking under a simulated sun, while a few Dreambay tribe beauties served nearby.

Next to them, a white‑bearded old man guzzled a cup of wine loudly, saying, "It's been over ten million years; finally I can taste this fine wine again."

Beside him, a creature resembling a little devil with black wings and a long tail—Baba Ta—held an apple in one hand and a drink in the other.

But Xiao Yu's Wu was not present here, still residing within Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge.

"Third brother, the Cosmic Star River Bank has already made a reservation; we need to go to Bai Lan Star for the handover in eight days," Luo Feng said. In the morning, he used his teacher's Five-star account to book an item consignment service.

For Five-star customers, the consignment service sells items faster and charges less, requiring only a one‑per‑thousand fee.

May 31, 2061, 3:32 PM, the spaceship entered Bai Lan Star.

In the control room, the four of them—Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen—looked down at the warehouse base, where a dazzling spacecraft bearing the Cosmic Star River Bank's insignia stood before the base.

It is an E Ji Feichuan; normally only Realm Lord Level beings or Immortal Divine Spirits can afford one.

The Guotai spacecraft landed on the ground, its hatch opened, and Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen jumped off, flying straight toward the fantastically distant ship.

At that moment, outside the hatch of the sword‑shaped ship stood three men in Cosmic Star River Bank uniforms; one of them was unmistakably a Domain Lord, and the other two were also Universe-level.

"Sir, please hand over your cargo," the Domain Lord said with a modest smile.

This transaction's level was exceptionally high; every move they made was recorded by the bank's intelligent system, so they had to comply with the requirements.

"Here is the cargo," Xiao Yu handed over a Space Ring.

A fleeting dream‑like beam of light entered the Space Ring aboard the spacecraft, and after a moment emitted a voice: "Cargo confirmed."

"Sir, the transaction is successful; thank you for your support of our Cosmic Star River Bank," the Domain Lord bowed slightly.

After the successful trade, the Domain Lord and the two Universe-level individuals hurried onto the spacecraft, which sped away.

After completing the transaction on Bai Lan Star, Xiao Yu and the others boarded the Guotai and left Bai Lan Star, heading for Earth.

In the spacecraft's control room.

"Hahaha, the Domain Lord saluted us?" Lei Shen laughed triumphantly.

"It's unbelievable," Hong exclaimed.

"Third brother, the payment has arrived; how shall we divide it?" Luo Feng said.

"Then transfer everything to me first; I'll see the total," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Alright," Luo Feng nodded.

"Stop," Lei Shen suddenly said. "You split it; I'll take nothing this time. I not only obtained five Thunder secret arts, but also gained an intelligent life and received that Kabuu Realm Lord's inheritance."

"Since the second brother obtained the Kabuu Realm Lord's inheritance, that Realm Lord will surely arrange everything for him," Hong said.

"Xiao Yu, you've received an email from the Cosmic Star River Bank," Wu said suddenly.

"Open it," Xiao Yu whispered.

A screen materialized before him, displaying an opened email from the Cosmic Star River Bank—a payment reminder.

It was the proceeds from the sale of the 79 treasures Luo Feng mentioned, totaling 26.89 trillion Cosmic Coins. After receiving that sum, Xiao Yu's Cosmic Star River Bank account, bound to his consciousness, upgraded to a Three‑star Rank account.

"Second brother, this haul is huge—over 26 trillion Cosmic Coins. You really don't want it?" Xiao Yu laughed.

"No, the money you gave me before is never enough," Lei Shen patted his bald head.

"Fine, second brother, if you don't want it, then don't. But big brother you can't refuse," Xiao Yu said with a smile. "Let's keep it simple: big brother gets 4 trillion Cosmic Coins, fourth brother gets 10 trillion Cosmic Coins, and the rest is mine."

As soon as the words finished, Wu completed the transfer.

Thus Xiao Yu's Cosmic Star River Bank balance became 15.7358 trillion Cosmic Coins, with an additional 2 trillion Cosmic Coins in Luo Hua's operational account.

In the Virtual Universe, inside Xiao Yu's castle.

Xiao Yu lounged on the sofa, perusing the various emails he received after his account upgraded to Three-star Rank, most of which concerned finance, investment, and planetary custodial matters.

One email caught Xiao Yu's interest—it was from the Virtual Universe Company.

As a Three-star Rank client, he already possessed permission to enter the Qian Wu Auction Event, though only the primary auction.

The Qian Wu Auction Event is held once every three years; the next auction will take place at the end of 2062, a little over a year from now.

Leaving that money idle in the account would be wasteful; it's better to invest it.

Five minutes later.

A screen appeared before Xiao Yu, showing a handsome young man about eighty percent resembling Luo Feng—it was Luo Hua.

"Brother Yu, what do you need?" Luo Hua asked.

Luo Hua is currently mainly operating in the cosmos; he usually spends his time in the Virtual Universe and is basically online at all times.

"Xiao Hua, I'd like to know how that previous fund is doing now," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Brother Yu, the 2 trillion Cosmic Coins you gave me had grown to 10 trillion, but a month ago the entire Qian Wu Universe Country's financial market suffered a storm, affecting us and costing us 18% of the capital. Now we have only 8.2 trillion Cosmic Coins," Luo Hua said gravely.

The loss is significant—1.8 trillion Cosmic Coins, enough to buy several star systems.

"Investing? Gains and losses are normal," Xiao Yu laughed. "We might as well settle a transaction."

"Brother Yu!" Luo Hua exclaimed, startled, thinking Xiao Yu was preventing him from continuing operations.

"Don't misunderstand; I'm planning to invest a portion of the money for you to manage," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Luo Hua's complexion improved a lot after hearing.

"The principal is 2 trillion Cosmic Coins, the profit is 6.2 trillion Cosmic Coins, the compensation for you is 20% of the profit, that is 1.24 trillion Cosmic Coins."

"Hmm." Luo Hua nodded.

"I'm giving you 13.04 trillion Cosmic Coins, which exactly makes up 20 Mixed Yuan Unit," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "It's the same as before: settle by the end of next year, and after that there will be no settlement for three years."

"Brother Yu, I can't guarantee we'll definitely make money, but I can guarantee the principal will lose at most 20%." Luo Hua said seriously.

"Let's sign the agreement." Xiao Yu said.

An authorization agreement was sent to Luo Hua via the Virtual Universe, and at the same time a payment notification of 1.24 trillion Cosmic Coins was delivered.
