Funi Lambert, President of the Lambert Chamber of Comrce in Oak City.
Fifty years ago.
He was also a newcor who had just promoted from the Star System Wasteland Server.
But...
Compared to other newbie players, Funi was obviously much luckier.
While working as a slave, he accidentally t the daughter of the Lambert Clan.
The Lambert Clan was a prestigious family in Oak City, wielding considerable influence.
After that...
Funi played out a high-dinsional version of "flying onto the branch to beco a phoenix," transforming himself into the Lambert clan’s son-in-law.
Even though he paid the price of marrying in and changing his surna.
What followed, however, was an identity, status, and wealth that other peer newcors couldn’t even imagine.
Now, today.
Fifty years had passed, and he had even taken over the Lambert family’s business, becoming the president of the chamber of comrce.
Because Oak City was next to the Promoter Plaza, with massive numbers of new promoters flooding in every year.
The Lambert Chamber of Comrce, like every other chamber in Oak City, had long centered its main business and custor base on the newly promoted players.
And.
Thanks to the Lambert Chamber’s considerate service and a well-established max-level sparring system, they’d built up an excellent reputation over the years.
Even though their Tier Twenty Max Level service was more expensive than elsewhere, business had always been good.
But...
Funi’s heart, at peace for almost fifty years, surged with unprecedented turmoil the mont he saw the long string of numbers on the light screen in front of him.
5.8 billion!
5.8 billion Wasteland Source Points!
Even as the Lambert family’s son-in-law, Funi had never seen such a terrifying account balance!
And this...
Was actually from a newly promoted player, that young man nad "Yu Jin"!
A mont later.
The other party chose the Lambert Chamber’s "Tier Twenty Max Level Service," and paid the full amount up front without hesitation.
And it was at that mont.
Yu Jin’s account balance was revealed.
Almost no newly promoted player, without soone warning them, knew that—once the paynt exceeded a certain amount (100,000), the account balance would automatically display to the receiver.
To avoid this, you had to adjust the settings in advance.
It was obvious.
That young man called "Yu Jin" had no idea.
Because of this.
This string of numbers appeared right before Funi’s eyes.
"It’s really not a system error?"
"A balance like this..."
"It’s absolutely impossible..."
Funi was still muttering to himself endlessly.
As the live-in son-in-law of the Lambert family, he had so understanding of Oak City, even the upper class of Gangval Star.
As far as he knew, the richest man in Oak City, the head of the Lambert Clan—his father-in-law—had only a few tens of millions total!
Even the richest on Gangval Star...
The head of the Gangval Clan, even on paper, didn’t have over ten billion in wealth!
In other words.
This young man called "Yu Jin" looked freshly promoted from the low-dinsional server, but actually could beco the richest man on Gangval Star!
What’s even more terrifying...
This 5.8 billion was his account balance, liquid funds he could use at will.
Unlike his father-in-law or the richest on Gangval Star, whose "wealth" included fixed assets and even virtual valuations.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
Funi’s eyes were locked on the numbers on the light screen, breathing heavily.
In his heart, a devil’s voice kept whispering.
"He’s just a newbie, a complete rookie..."
"He doesn’t even know how to hide his account balance..."
"That amount of astronomical wealth..."
"All you have to do is move a finger and you can take it so easily..."
"A rookie who hasn’t even hit Tier Twenty, who hasn’t limit broken, no different from an ordinary person..."
"And you, Funi Lambert, you’re a mighty Tier Four Unlimiter..."
Funi’s breathing grew more rapid, bit by bit.
Until...
Ding!
A clear "ding" sounded.
A communication notification rang in his ear.
The call was from his wife, the princess of the Lambert family, the woman who had changed his destiny.
"Honey~"
"When will you finish work?"
"Today is our anniversary. I’m waiting for you at ho~"
Her words were like a spring breeze, gentle and soft.
"I..."
Funi was montarily silent.
"I’ll co ho soon."
He looked at the elegant woman on the comm screen, smiling gently and replied.
"Alrighty!"
"Waiting for you!"
Bee—!
The call ended. Funi took a deep breath and returned to reality.
"No, it shouldn’t be like this..."
"Greed is the root of all disaster."
"I have my beloved Erin, a happy and stable life, distinguished status, and more than enough wealth..."
"I shouldn’t take risks, shouldn’t let greed blind ."
"5.8 billion Source Points isn’t sothing I—even the entire Lambert clan—can afford to taint ourselves with!"
His wife’s call woke Funi up as if from a dream, and with sheer willpower, he resisted the temptation.
After decades as president of the chamber, Funi was no fool.
Even if he didn’t know how that young man Yu Jin got so much terrifying wealth.
But...
Everything has an origin.
Perhaps...
This Yu Jin is an illegitimate child of so powerful family in the Federation, lost in the outside world?
In any case.
Behind 5.8 billion Source Points, there’s probably an unimaginable background!
"Not only can’t touch him, but I need to give him the utmost respect, the highest courtesy!"
Funi made his decision, and quickly passed down the order.
Shua—
The light screen full of numbers before him disappeared.
