“Your funds have arrived.”
“Account opened successfully. You are now an official client of our Cosmic First Bank.”
“Your bank card balance is 1,000,000,000,000 jialan coin (Cosmic First Bank).”
Everything went more smoothly than Su Ke had imagined.
“I’m now a client of Cosmic First Bank?” Su Ke felt like he was dreaming.
His cosmic currency bank card now had a full one trillion jialan coin!
If it were liuyun coin, the value would be even higher. The empire’s official exchange rate was 1 liuyun coin for 1000 jialan coin, but 1000 jialan coin could not be exchanged back for liuyun coin!
Through the black market, it was possible, but typically over a thousand, almost two thousand jialan coin, could only be exchanged for one liuyun coin. And ordinary citizens had no idea where the black market was.
Su Ke looked at the bank card in his hand. This bank card was quite unique; it was integrated with a mental imprint, meaning only the original owner could use it. Others who got it couldn't use it.
This was definitely a very secure method, safer than any password, after all… everyone’s mental imprint was different.
With the bank card in hand, Su Ke felt much more at ease. Cosmic First Bank was a super bank that spanned the entire universe! This bank card could be used anywhere and could also be bound for use in the Virtual Universe, which was extremely convenient.
Although Su Ke had not awakened his psychic power and was not a Psycher Master, everyone had a Psychic Power Sea of Consciousness, whether they were a Psycher Master or a martial artist.
“One trillion, just like that, it’s mine.” Su Ke was excited.
He could even buy a life planet! He could directly become the lord of a planet, a local emperor, enjoying an incredibly luxurious life, power, and status as he pleased… reaching the pinnacle on his own planet, holding the power of life and death. He could also buy many, many slaves to work for him. Planetary Level slaves were expensive, but those below Planetary Level could be bought for just 10 or 20 jialan coin each! Buying a hundred million would only cost a few billion!
And planets purchased by lords through legal channels were considered property of imperial citizens, registered with the empire, and protected by the empire. Space pirates wouldn’t dare to casually attack or invade; otherwise, the empire’s fleet would immediately arrive.
The average price of a planet was 1 trillion jialan coin.
There was no upper limit for high-value ones, and low-value ones could be acquired for a few hundred billion, but such planets had very low value.
Owning a life planet was equivalent to owning a treasure trove! And a planet’s lifespan was generally very, very long, measured in “hundreds of millions of years,” making it perfectly suitable as a family heirloom. Of course, human lifespans were limited. So, the buying and selling price of planets was generally in units of “trillion jialan coin.”
“Right now, I’m only a regular client. Let alone one-star, to reach two-star, I need to have ‘deposits reaching 10 billion universe coins’ to automatically upgrade to a two-star user.”
One cosmic currency was equivalent to about 3300 liuyun coin, so 10 billion universe coins would be approximately 33 trillion liuyun coin.
And Su Ke’s one trillion jialan coin, if traded through black market channels, would only be equivalent to five or six hundred million liuyun coin.
“Low-key, I must be low-key. I’m still just a small fry.” Su Ke swallowed, forcefully suppressing the immense joy that erupted in his heart from suddenly acquiring a huge fortune. “My current amount of money is enough to buy an ordinary planet, but it’s not enough to buy Earth.”
Su Ke remembered that Earth, in the official evaluation of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, had the highest ‘three trillion purchase price,’ which was the condition for the first discoverer, because it was once the territory of an Undying Spiritual God.
Of course, whether Earth still existed was another question.
Su Ke hadn't figured out the time he had transmigrated to yet.
He did know that the last Astral Rank Universe Peak Genius Battle had been held over three thousand years ago, as this was a widely known and influential event across the entire human territory, not a secret, but none of the familiar names had appeared.
Su Ke had no thoughts about the Peak Genius Battle; such things were too far removed from an ordinary person like him.
His current goal was to become Planetary Level! Astral Rank!
What was Planetary Level? Wandering in the universe, one could only barely make ends meet.
Astral Rank was considered a powerful figure. However, he could only do well on ordinary, out-of-the-way planets like Moon River Star, and couldn't make much of a name for himself. Outside of a planet, he couldn't survive in space for long.
Even more powerful Universe Rank experts could wander in space with their bodies, fight with interstellar fleets, and were incredible big figures who appeared only once among hundreds of thousands of life planets in a galaxy.
Even Su Ke, who knew the original work, would never underestimate such experts, because he knew that with his own aptitude, without the chance of winning the lottery, he would probably be a Planetary Level for life.
Even now, with one trillion jialan coin, the possibility of becoming Universe Rank was still heartbreakingly low.
So Su Ke’s goal was very clear; he had no grand ambitions, but rather a down-to-Earth approach to first raise his physical quality to Astral Rank.
Becoming Astral Rank, not taking risks, and not encountering any major disasters, would allow him to survive safely.
Besides increasing his strength, Su Ke also considered things further down the line.
This one trillion jialan coin was a lucky win for him; he probably wouldn't have such good fortune again in the future. Every coin spent was one less. Was he just going to sit back and watch his wealth dwindle?
Money could make money; this was capital.
For example, engaging in financial investments like Luo Hua, though this was extremely difficult to operate and a huge pitfall; most people couldn’t handle it and could lose everything in an instant.
A more stable option was to let the bank manage and operate these funds for him, and he could just collect dividends. A year's interest would be enough for him to live very comfortably.
If his ambition was greater, he could buy a life planet, acquire billions of ordinary people as slaves to work for him, or even more cruelly, turn them directly into slave races, breeding generation after generation to be sold as slaves. Generation after generation, endless!
Slave trading was a highly profitable industry. There were specialized planets in the universe for breeding slaves, just like harvesting leeks, one batch after another!
Selling hundreds of millions of people would be an enormous fortune! However, this kind of thing was disgusting, and once a super-expert was born from a certain race, the planet lord would be finished. So, this was generally only done to weak races, and those who dared to do it were planet lords with powerful backgrounds.
Clearly, Su Ke had no background and was not associated with anything powerful.
“Buying the lowest-grade, worst planet only costs a few hundred billion, plus a hundred billion for slaves, it’s only about one to two hundred billion.” Su Ke was a little tempted.
Who didn't have a dream of being a landlord?
Directly selling slaves went against his moral bottom line as a human, but buying some slaves whose fates were destined to be tragic and having them work for him, while also giving them a better quality of life, was actually a good thing.
Roughly estimating, if each person could earn 0.04 jialan coin per year, the annual income would be over 400 million jialan coin. With a single planet, he could completely live the dream life many people yearned for.
