Chapter 27
The Universe's Number One Bank
Chapter 27 The Universe's First Bank
The ratio between the dark universe and the original universe is 1:1008.1.
In the original universe, matter cannot exceed the speed of light. Once it reaches the speed of light, it will directly travel through the universe and arrive in the dark universe. In the dark universe, however, it is possible to exceed the speed of light.
The Black Dragon spaceship is a C5 class spaceship with a top speed of 1.5 times the speed of light, because Rimuru has abundant energy and there is no need to conserve it.
So, full speed ahead!
Eight days later.
Qiulongxing.
Guided by the traction signal, the spacecraft landed in the Class C area of the docking port.
"Gu Ce, I have 171 Qianwu coins here. I'll use them to pay the parking fee later," Rimuru said.
Qiulong Star is the closest prosperous planet to Earth, and it is controlled by a domain lord.
For Gu Ce now, this is a good place to go, as he can buy most of what he needs here, so Rimuru didn't bother going to a more distant place.
"What is this Qianwu Coin?" Thor asked curiously.
"Qianwu coins are the currency of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a high-level civilization in the universe. One Qianwu coin can be exchanged for one thousand Black Dragon coins at the official exchange rate, and one Black Dragon coin can be exchanged for one thousand Silver Blue coins. Of course, the exchange rate outside the official exchange will be higher, usually reaching more than 1.5 times." Rimuru glanced at Thor and explained.
(ーー゛)
"Intelligent life forms are really convenient. I'll get one someday," Thor said enviously.
"Intelligent life forms like Rimuru, capable of self-thinking, are rare even in the universe," Hong said calmly from the side.
"Can't I even think about it?" Thor said, somewhat puzzled. "Maybe I'll stumble upon some kind of legacy and gain access to an intelligent life form."
"call!"
The Black Dragon spaceship descended slowly and finally landed.
The three left the cabin, and Gu Ce casually tossed a Qianwu coin to the alien who came to collect the fee.
"No need to look anymore," Gu Ce said calmly.
After the three had walked away, Thor couldn't help but speak up, saying in surprise, "That person looks really strange."
"Second brother, it's wrong to talk badly about others behind their backs," Hong stopped Thor's immoral behavior.
The two communicated in Chinese, the language spoken on Earth.
"First, we'll register our citizenship, then open an account at the Virtual Universe Company, and then withdraw the money left by our master at the Universe First Bank," Rimuru said in Gu Ce's mind.
Gu Ce nodded slightly, and two silver-clad guards appeared behind him, which would avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
……
Qiulong City.
After flying for more than half an hour, the three arrived here.
"Planetary level, planetary level, can't tell their strength... There are so many powerful people here. Any one of them would be a god of war level or even stronger than me on Earth," Thor exclaimed in amazement.
"That's normal. Anyone who can appear in a place like this is at least a planetary level. Only planetary level beings can barely make a living in the universe," Gu Ce said. "To have a certain status, one needs to be at least a celestial level or higher. Only cosmic level beings have a relatively high status in the universe."
"We're still far from there, we need to be careful." Hong saw things very clearly.
Flying in mid-air, the three soon arrived in front of a huge sculpted building with a black dragon coiled on a high mountain.
This is the office building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiulong Star.
Originally, I planned to join the Qianwu Universe Kingdom directly, but it is more difficult to join the citizenship of a higher cosmic civilization. Once I join the Virtual Universe Company in the future, whether I have a citizenship or not will not matter.
With the Silver Guard behind them, the two giant guards opened the door and let the three of them in.
In the universe, strength, identity, and status are highly valued.
Rimuru and Gu Ce had said this to each other, and Gu Ce then relayed it to Hong and Thor.
The process of registering for citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which cost one Qianwu coin, went very smoothly. The three of them became citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and could now do more things with this identity.
"Gu Ce, is that virtual universe really that magical, allowing people scattered anywhere in the universe to communicate instantly through the internet, and even simulate battles and create secret techniques in the virtual universe?" Thor couldn't help but ask on the way to the Virtual Universe Company's branch.
"You'll find out soon enough," Gu Ce said, rolling his eyes at him.
"Among the human race throughout the universe, there are five behemoth powers: the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Cosmic First Bank, the Giant Axe Arena, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the Virtual Universe Company," Hong said, having read many introductions to cosmic knowledge. "The Virtual Universe Company is almost the wealthiest of these powers; it has made an unimaginable amount of money from the virtual universe alone."
"These five behemoth powers exist above even the most advanced civilizations in the universe. How strong do you think they are?"
"Oh." Thor nodded, bewildered.
Hong immediately realized that Thor hadn't bothered to look at the common knowledge. He was somewhat helpless.
Soon, the three arrived at the next location.
Virtual Universe Company Branch.
"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" A beautiful woman with a pretty face, wearing a red uniform and a fluffy tail bowed slightly and smiled.
"Open an account," Gu Ce said directly.
"Account opening service, how much is the virtual universe network fee for one-time payment? There are three tiers: 100 years, 1000 years, and 10000 years. The annual network fee is 10 Black Dragon Coins or 0.008 Qianwu Coins," the receptionist said fluently.
"Let's open three ten-thousand-year-old ones," Gu Ce said.
After paying 240 Qianwu coins, the three accounts were successfully activated.
After successfully opening the account, Gu Ce took the two of them to buy two smart optical computers, equipped with auxiliary intelligence.
"I need to take care of something at the world's number one bank. Do you guys want to come along?" Gu Ce asked.
"Let's go together then," Hong nodded slightly.
"Alright." Gu Ce didn't say anything more and led them there together.
……
The First Bank of the Universe branch.
Gu Ce first got a bank card from the world's number one bank, and then got one for Hong and Thor as well.
Like the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Cosmic First Bank also has a customer star rating system.
As expected, when Gu Ce entered his account number, the bank manager personally invited him to a reception room, where a metal robot greeted him.
The Ice Wasteland Realm Lord's account is a four-star account.
That is, deposits between ten thousand and ten million yuan.
"Check your balance".
"beep!"
"2,817,561... Mixed-element units!"
"Rimuru, didn't you say it was only 237 million? How come it's more?" Gu Ce asked in confusion.
"This... I don't know either. Could it be some kind of financial product that Master bought back then?" Rimuru was also somewhat puzzled.
Well, if it's increased, it's increased.
unimportant.
Gu Ce transferred all the money into his own account, which would also upgrade his account to a four-star level.
"With this money, we can go buy things!" Rimuru exclaimed happily.
"Based on past experience, you must at least cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of space and cultivate the 'Myriad Incarnations' to the second level or above, that is, ten incarnations, in order to enter the top ten of the Genius Battle."
"To enter the top 1,000, it's a bit simpler. As long as you cross the threshold of the Water Origin Law, deepen your understanding, and master the second move of the Ice Wilderness Sword Technique, you'll have a certain chance."
"But before that, we need to get you to the Eternal Star level."
