Overnight Riches (1)
"You found this Golden Stinger, but what about the Atlantis? What about Atlantis? "Xia Fei couldn't contain his excitement as he asked.
Andre shook his head, "Unfortunately, this exploration is the decision of the family. I have no right to divulge the progress of the exploration. I can only say that based on the information that we currently have, it's very hopeful."
Xia Fei was a little disappointed. He took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it up. He placed it by his mouth for a long time without taking a puff. With his current strength, it was indeed very difficult for him to enter the circle of the Rothschild Family.
"You seem to be very interested in the Atlantis civilization?" Andre saw that Xia Fei was a little depressed, so he asked.
Xia Fei leaned back on the chair and took a sip from his wine glass, "Every man has a dream of going on an adventure, and I happen to be a man."
Andre nodded in understanding, "That's right. When I was young, I had plenty of dreams of exploring ancient ruins."
Wu Long, who was by the side, scratched his bald head and said hesitantly, "I'm also a man. Why did I always think of eating red braised pork when I was young and never thought of going to Atlantis? That's right, I have thought of becoming a hero. "
Xia Fei looked at the honest Wu Long and smiled. Youre already a hero now. I saw that you barely used any strength when you twisted that robber's head off. Your cultivation should have already reached that rank by now. Wu Long nodded.
Wu Long proudly patted his chest, "That's right. My current strength has already exceeded 200kg and I'm at the Intermediate Star Light Realm. Your cultivation isn't low either. That speed of yours when you rushed up that day was truly not just for show! You arrived in a flash. "
"Hehe, my cultivation isn't as high as yours. I was only at the Primary Star Light Realm during the previous test." Xia Fei said.
"Impossible. Your speed is definitely not at the Primary Star Light Realm. I have seen people with speed ability, but I have never seen anyone as fast as you." Wu Long waved his hand, expressing his disbelief.
Xia Fei pondered for a moment, "The situation was urgent. Perhaps I exceeded my limits during the crisis."
Andre chuckled. Among the three of them, he was the only one without an ability. At his age, it would be extremely difficult for him to open his seventh brain region in his lifetime.
"There are only over 1,000 individuals in the entire federation that have reached the Star Light rank, and there are two of you in this small cabin. It's my honor to be able to meet the two of you today. Come, let me offer a toast to the two of you."
Putting down his wine glass, Andre asked Xia Fei, Do you still remember the matter of the star coins?
Remember, Ill transfer the star coins I have to you when we get to New York. It was the same no matter who he traded the star coins with, so Xia Fei did not mind.
"That's great. I'm one step closer to my goal." Andre said excitedly, "Our family has reached a deal with an extraterrestrial friend. We will use one million star coins to purchase an energy technology from the other party. As you all know, the oil on Earth is almost exhausted, and we have yet to find a suitable energy source. If we can solve this energy problem, it will be a great thing for the entire Earth."
"What technology are you planning to purchase?" Xia Fei asked.
"Controllable nuclear fusion." Andre said excitedly, "Controllable nuclear fusion is a kind of limitless, clean, and safe new energy source. The raw material used is deuterium, which is abundant in Earth's seawater, up to 40 trillion tons. If all of it is used for fusion, the energy released will be enough for humans to use for tens of billions of years! "
"The current problem is that the temperature produced by fusion is as high as 400 million degrees, and no object can withstand such a huge temperature. Scientists are thinking of not using objects but creating a kind of force field to control the fusion and use it as a furnace. However, Earth's current technological level does not have this capability, so we wish to purchase this force field from an extraterrestrial civilization. "
Xia Fei nodded. Energy was indeed a huge problem that Earthlings were currently facing. If they could use this clean and safe new energy source to replace the original oil and coal, not only would the energy problem be solved, but the pollution problem would also be easily solved.
"How about this? Once we reach New York, we will immediately make a trip to the Interstellar Bank. I will exchange all the star coins I have with you." Xia Fei said.
Andre nodded heavily, "Alright, the Rothschild Family will remember this favor. We will pay you 1.2 times the official price."
Xia Fei waved his hand, "I am also a Federation citizen, so it is my duty to do my bit for the Federation. Let's go with the official price. I might be a person who loves money, but there are some money that cannot be earned."
New York …
The seat of the Federation government, the capital of the Earth Federation.
Manhattan Island, which only had an area of 57.91 square kilometers, had the headquarters of over 3,000 banks, securities companies, and financial companies. It was truly the financial center of the Earth Federation.
The Endaro Interstellar Bank's Earth Branch was located in Manhattan Island, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. It occupied an inconspicuous location on Wall Street.
Compared to the surrounding established Federal banks like Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, and UBS Bank, the Interstellar Bank didn't have a high profile and even looked a little shabby. However, no one dared to belittle its existence. People would even unconsciously look up to it because it was the only extraterrestrial bank on Earth.
There were two conditions to enter this place. First, this place only accepted the universal star coins. Second, other than a few top-notch organizations and privileged individuals, only A-rank citizens could open an account here.
The exchange rate between star coins and the Federation dollars was as high as 1: 10,000. Such a high exchange rate would cause ordinary citizens to shrink back. Furthermore, star coins were scarce in the Federation, so even if you had the money, you might not be able to exchange for one.
As for the number of A-rank citizens, they were even fewer. The entire Federation only had over 10,000 A-rank citizens. Therefore, the entrance of the Interstellar Bank was deserted, giving off a solemn and strict feeling.
Xia Fei and Andre got off the car and walked into the lobby of the Interstellar Bank.
An alien with a mustache strode forward and slowly walked to their side with an arrogant attitude.
"The Endaro Interstellar Bank is at your service. I am the bank's supervisor, Dawson. May I ask what the two of you are here for?" Although he spoke respectfully, there wasn't a single hint of respect on his face.
Speaking of which, the entire Interstellar Bank had a total of two employees, a supervisor and a president. These two were the employees with the worst reputation in last year's evaluation, which was why they were sent to the distant and backward Earth to work.
Dawson looked down on Earth from the bottom of his heart. The civilization level was only 0.5, backward, primitive, dirty, inferior, and impoverished. This was Dawson's impression of Earth.
"I want to log into my account to make a transfer." Xia Fei said.
"Please follow me." Dawson led Xia Fei and Andre in front of an AI computer. "May I ask if you know how to use this advanced, intelligent computer that can log into the Interstellar Internet?"
Xia Fei knitted his brows and was extremely dissatisfied with this alien's attitude. "I'm sorry. I don't know how to use this advanced, intelligent computer that can log into the Interstellar Internet. Can I trouble you to open my account?"
Dawson's face turned pale. He didn't expect Xia Fei to instruct him to make a move. Even a fool could tell that Xia Fei was doing it on purpose.
However, he had no choice but to comply due to the bank's rules and regulations. Filled with resentment, Dawson helped Xia Fei log into his account.
Looking at the balance in the account, Dawson's eyes widened. "Impossible, right? An Earthling actually has so much money?! "
He hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeve and carefully counted the long string of zeros. "Sir, may I know how much you want to transfer and which account to?"
Dawson's tone became very respectful and even a little ambiguous. It was no longer as cold as before. Due to the explosive increase in Xia Fei's account balance, he was now automatically promoted to a 1-star client of the Interstellar Bank.
Dawson was very clear about the privileges of a 1-star client. If a 1-star client were to complain about him, he might very well be fired by the bank. Just thinking about how he was being sarcastic to Xia Fei, Dawson broke out in a cold sweat.
When Xia Fei and Andre saw the number clearly, they were shocked for a long time. Andre's jaw nearly dropped. "So he is actually richer than me! You really can't judge a book by its cover! "
