Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 290 - 287-I Discovered a Way to Exploit the System!

"Karos, do you still think being a spendthrift is a bad thing?"

"Look, I don't know how Lord Velen managed to bring Deathworms out of the Singularity Battlefield, but used properly, just one of them can kill an Ascended Rank powerhouse!"

"And how many did we eat just now?"

After Velen left, Kendrix turned to Karos with a look of deep meaning.

"I…"

Karos wanted to argue that wanton spending was wrong, but his mind was still filled with the delicious taste of those Deathworms—they were just too good!

If they hadn't been spendthrifts, where would they find so many enemies to use Deathworms on?

It'd take half a year just to get a single serving!

To feast like that in one go… there was only one way: spend like maniacs!

"Karos, remember that foot soak you said was super relaxing? Do you know what the soaking water was made from? That was Iron Cub spring water!"

"You even said you wanted your father to get more of it? You think he'd oblige? He'd probably break your legs on the spot!"

"Not exaggerating—your entire family's fortune isn't enough for two foot soaks!"

Seeing Karos still hesitating, Kendrix threw in a final bombshell.

"WHAT?!"

Karos couldn't believe his ears.

So one foot soak cost him half the family fortune?!

"Look, we may not be on Lord Velen's level of extravagance, but surely you've started to realize—being a spendthrift isn't just about waste. It brings pleasure—physical and spiritual!"

Karos's expression turned solemn. Without hesitation, he pulled out a communication stone and contacted his father.

He was ready to spend. To splurge. To revel in the luxurious life.

To go full tycoon.

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for guiding Karos to understand the true essence of extravagant living. One-third mission progress achieved. Reward: 3 billion Tycoon Points!

Just as Velen was about to head off and get some rest, the system's voice rang in his mind.

"What the hell?"

"Another third of the task completed?"

"Karos just got a glimpse of real extravagance… but he's not even a Tycoon Club member! How does this count toward my mission?"

Perplexed, Velen tried to figure it out. He suspected Kendrix had something to do with it—he had spoken with Karos privately before.

"I had Karos and Norson help me deal with the Deathworms and gave them rewards. That triggered two 'spending behavior' bonuses worth 200 million Tycoon Points total."

"But that's nothing compared to the special mission rewards!"

"If I just earned another 3 billion, then it's time to level up again!"

"Let's go from Ascended Rank level 5 peak… straight to level 8 peak!"

"With this pace, if I manage to complete the task with Kendrix's friend tomorrow, I'll break through to level 9 peak. After that, I can Ascend to the upper plane universe anytime I want!"

Fueled by excitement, Velen immediately consumed a large batch of Tycoon Points and began his breakthrough.

BOOM!

Thunder roared once again above the Provon Family estate as the skies darkened with a familiar celestial phenomenon—Thunder Calamity.

Norson bellowed, "Everyone, listen up! Seal all doors and windows immediately!"

"No matter what happens outside, no one is allowed out! And no peeking through the windows either! If anything happens, it's on you!"

His voice echoed throughout the estate.

From powerful family members to humble servants, everyone followed orders without hesitation—at this point, they were nearly losing their minds. Why did Thunder Calamity always strike here?!

"Patriarch!"

"Please, come back soon! If you don't return, you might not even find the family estate standing!"

Looking out at the sky filled with lightning and thunder, Norson slammed the window shut, trembling.

He was enduring all the tribulations meant for the actual patriarch!

The Next Morning

When the group stepped out of their quarters and saw the devastated courtyard, they were all stunned.

It was hard to imagine just how fierce the Thunder Calamity had been to leave the once-grand mansion in such ruin.

"Kendrix, you still haven't gone to find your friend?"

"And where's Karos?"

Velen arrived at Kendrix's room and was surprised to see him still fast asleep.

"Boss!"

Awakened by Velen's voice, Kendrix leapt out of bed and hurried to explain. "My friend is someone Karos knows too. Once Karos got a taste of the spendthrift lifestyle, and heard we'd be using a Spatial Portal, he insisted on going himself."

"He should be back right about now."

Just as he spoke, two Spatial Rifts opened up in front of them.

Karos and a young man in a white mage's robe stepped out, one after the other.

Stare—!

The white-robed youth's eyes widened upon seeing Velen. He immediately dropped to one knee with trembling excitement.

"Tycoon Club member Steech, greets the Head!"

"By the gods above!"

"That bastard Steech got into the club before me?! And he never told me?!"

Kendrix exploded with emotion. Seeing the tycoon insignia resonating on Steech's body only fueled his shock and rage.

"What's going on?!"

"What Tycoon Club? What boss?!"

Karos was utterly confused.

"Kendrix!"

"Why aren't you kneeling before His Highness Velen?!"

"If the Chief Mentee finds out, she'll skin you alive!"

Steech's voice was filled with urgency. He meant it as a brotherly warning—he knew exactly how highly the Chief Mentee valued Kendrix.

THUD!

Seeing Steech's serious expression, Kendrix realized this friend of his knew far more than he did. Without delay, he dropped to one knee.

"Tycoon Club member Kendrix, greets His Highness Velen!"

Stumble, stumble, stumble—

Karos stumbled back several steps, jaw agape.

We grew up together… we swore to share our blessings and face hardships together…

And you two went behind my back and joined some secret club without me?!

"System!"

"What now? That guy's already a Tycoon Club member!"

Velen was just as surprised. He hadn't expected Kendrix's so-called friend to already be a part of the club.

Judging by the situation, it looked like Steech had been recruited by Etenny.

Ding! Special Mission only requires the target to be a spendthrift and to recognize what true extravagance looks like. Club membership doesn't disqualify them.

The system promptly gave its answer.

"…Wait, what? I can do that?"

"So if I just find three club members, do nothing, and show up, I can complete the mission?"

Velen asked, stunned.

Ding! Correct. To the Tycoon Club members, the Host is their divine standard. No need to prove anything.

By the gods above…

Velen was truly in awe. He had completely missed a bug-exploiting opportunity!

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You've guided Steech to recognize true spendthrift glory. One-third mission progress achieved. Reward: 3 billion Tycoon Points!

Ding! Congratulations, Host. Special Tycoon Mission Completed. Reward: 10 billion Tycoon Points, 1 large Stellar Core, 10 barrels of Immortal Tear!

The sudden flood of rewards left Velen momentarily speechless.

He wasn't even thinking about the Tycoon Points anymore—but those two rare items—

Let's not even talk about the Immortal Tear for now. Just the Stellar Core alone was mind-blowing.

Last time, he'd used a tiny sliver of Stellar Core to gift Etenny a set of clothes, and it had already left her speechless.

But this time, the system gave him a full chunk.

Who knows how massive that thing is?

If he took it out after ascending to the upper plane universe—who wouldn't be stunned speechless?

"Well then—"

"If I can have so many titles and identities here in the lower plane, once I reach the upper plane universe…"

"I'm definitely collecting a few more identities—just for fun!"
