“No.” The old man shook his head and said, “It’s just a coincidence that I got a gift and a curse.”
Strange statement.
Alex looked into the imaginary subspace and said, "Fleming is in there? Specifically in an imaginary subspace. No, this subspace transmits the same imaginary fluctuations as you."
He placed his hand at the entrance to the imaginary subspace, feeling somewhat confused. The time and laws inside had been modified, and everything was frozen.
Something is wrong. Alex smelled a sense of a Star God. Just standing at the entrance of this imaginary subspace, this feeling was stronger than that of the false god [Evil], like the smell of a star core about to be reborn through a shell.
But not as good as the real Star God - Alex is an old friend of Star God.
"I am Louis Fleming." The old man said casually, "The person inside is my good friend, the one who founded the credit point system, Dongfang Qixing."
"Perhaps it would be easier to understand it by another name, that is."
"【wealth】."
Chapter 162: Wealth on the Left, Protection on the Right
Louis Fleming, founder of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
Initially, Clipper had been building the wall alone. After seeing his magnificent figure, a group of people spontaneously organized themselves and formed the Houyuan Team to collect various materials for Clipper to build the wall. Even if Clipper didn't need them, they continued to collect materials from various worlds. There was only one purpose, which was what Louis Fleming shouted - "Dedicate everything to the Amber King!"
Later, they discovered the imbalance of resources and information gaps on various planets through interstellar barter trade. They gained the right to set prices, and the credit point system was created by Dongfang Qixing. Initially, they were space traders who were not responsible for production. As they developed, they became the dictators of space trade today.
Alex turned around and looked at the old man in front of him, who was dressed simply and had no hair. He didn't expect that Louis Fleming still existed in a mortal body, and at first glance, he didn't look rich. This old man, who had lived for more than 100,000 years, had a life span longer than some star gods. He looked at the other person seriously, a gift and a curse.
This old Mr. Fleming...
"The power in you does not come from the same star god." Alex felt some of Kripa's power in him, and also felt another power. That power was somewhat similar to the power faintly revealed in the container in front of him.
wealth?
The messenger of protection and wealth?
“Yes, you are very observant.” Fleming walked to the container that looked like a flared vase and said, “The Amber King, and Him.”
"Is there really a Star God in here?" Alex no longer cared much about Louis Fleming. What he cared more about was that there might be a Star God unknown to the universe in this imaginary subspace. However, a real Star God could not be bound by an imaginary subspace.
"To be precise." Fleming laughed for a while and corrected, "He is about to become a Star God, because at the moment of his enlightenment, I kicked him into this imaginary subspace where time is frozen."
ha?
Alex looked at Fleming in surprise. Is it possible to do such a thing? He sensed the container, shook his head and said, "There is no absolute in the universe. The time here is not frozen in the true sense."
"You're right. It took him 100,000 years to go through an experience that would have taken only a second to achieve." Fleming looked at the container and said, "Perhaps in this Amber Age, He will be truly born."
There was no nostalgia or other expression in Fleming's eyes, only hostility.
"So, at the moment when Dongfang Qixing, the man who created the credit points, was about to be promoted to the Star God of Fortune, you, Louis Fleming, his good friend who founded the Interstellar Peace Company together, forcibly blocked his promotion and kicked him... into here?"
There is nothing difficult to understand about the God of Wealth. For 100,000 years, the credit point system has covered the entire universe for 100,000 years. The person who created the credit point was promoted. Although it was somewhat unexpected, after all, everyone thought it was Louis Fleming, it was reasonable. After all, the Fleming family was rich, and Dongfang Qixing created the most popular currency.
"The original warehouse." Fleming did not deny what he said before, but corrected the name of the container and said, "This is a rare item I obtained when I traveled through the universe when I was young. It is also the opportunity for the establishment of the Interstellar Peace Company."
I see. This time-almost frozen subspace is Louis Fleming's golden finger. Alex nodded. This can explain a lot of things, because the universe is very far away. Synesthesia beacons were not used at that time, and even communication was a big problem. How Fleming built a business empire from nothing in just a few years was all thanks to this frozen subspace in his hand.
Whether it was fresh fruits or building materials, he had a warehouse of an entire galaxy. No wonder he had opened up a path that countless people had tried but failed to succeed.
"So, why?"
Why? Louis Fleming's thoughts went back to tens of thousands of years ago, when the Interstellar Peace Company was founded only a few decades ago and was very young on the scale of the universe, but the credit point system was like a breeding locust, and began to spread throughout the universe under their barbaric development.
"I plan to separate the department responsible for transporting materials and call it the Building Materials Circulation Department."
Before the fifth board of directors was convened, the two founders of the company met in advance to discuss the topic. Dongfang Qixing said, "Some people will be dedicated to transporting building materials to the Amber King, and the rest of the force should be invested in trade and finance. With the promotion of credit points, we should not simply engage in barter. The Interstellar Peace Bank, Interstellar Peace Securities, and Interstellar Peace Futures Trading Market are all urgent matters."
"Do those things really have any value to the universe?" Louis, who has entered old age, looked at his partner. This is not the first time he has asked this question. But Louis believes that the Interstellar Peace Company should not engage in finance, but should go all out in industry.
"Of course, banks can provide loans, and we can launch micro-loans to support small and medium-sized enterprises on each planet." Dongfang Qixing said with a confident smile, "To help them develop faster, we can also provide consumer loans to everyone, let's call it Huabei, to help them realize their dreams. Securities companies are even more necessary, and can help our large partners raise funds, and even go public in the name of the planet."
"I don't think this will work." Louis was tired of hearing these arguments, but he owned the most shares, so in order to pass the resolution, Dongfang Qixing had to convince him.
"Louis, credit points have been issued excessively in recent years. The number of credit points held by our trading partners has exceeded our material reserves." Dongfang Qixing said in a different way, "Because you have contributed all the materials obtained from trade to the Amber King. If this continues, the wealth in our hands will become less and less. In a few years, the credit points will lose their credibility and become a pile of waste paper."
"Don't talk to me about ideals. Do you know how many people rely on us two for their livelihood? If the company has problems, hundreds of millions of employees will all go bankrupt." Dongfang Qixing did not give Louis a chance to refute, and said directly: "If the building materials circulation department is not separated, the company will soon collapse. We need more means, financial means, to give credit points the value of 'wealth', so that we can better serve the Amber King. Louis, you stubborn old man, you can't have thought of these things, right?"
"Ah." Louis sighed deeply. How could he not know about the company's crisis? He was just worried that it would deteriorate. But as Dongfang Qixing said, the company had reached the edge of the cliff. If no changes were made, faith and fanaticism alone would not solve any problems.
"There must be supervision." Louis took a step back and said, "We need a committee to supervise all financial means."
But in reality, there is no government above the company, and the so-called supervision is nothing more than the people inside the company supervising themselves. Under the promotion of Dongfang Qixing, the monetary value of credit points has increased several times in just eight years. The company that was about to go bankrupt has increased its wealth countless times for no reason and has become a true cosmic oligarch.
The resources of the universe are almost infinite, but people's pace of exploring them is limited. The rapid expansion of the company has also brought a lot of negative impacts to this existence under the banner of "peace" for the first time.
Before the sixth board of directors meeting.
Louis has been getting older, but on the contrary, his partner Dongfang Qixing seems to be living a second spring. He looks only 30 years old, full of energy every day, with a heart-pounding look in his eyes.
Family dinner.
"Good fellow, you actually kept the original warehouse here all this time." Dongfang Qixing, who was in charge of wealth and controlled the cosmic trade, looked at the flared vase, stepped forward and touched the vase, and said, "The subspace where time flows only when it is observed is really amazing. I still remember the earliest time when the two of us arrived at Westan Star, you poured out a mountain of fruit from the original warehouse like a magic trick, which scared the primitive people who were about to eat us. They must have regarded us as gods."
"Looking back, it was such an exciting adventure." Dongfang Qixing said with emotion, "The grand feeling when I first met the Star God, the uneasiness when I first embarked on a long journey, in the blink of an eye, your hair has fallen out, old friend."
"Your fate is not as good as yours."
Louis is already in his eighties, and even with the best medical care in the universe, his life is beginning to draw to an end.
"Old man, why don't you ask me how I stay young?"
"In fact, nothing will not deteriorate." Louis leaned on a cane and looked at the primitive warehouse in front of him. He said: "As long as you are alive, you will change. It's okay to die early. At least, my heart and my beliefs have never changed."
"You have something to say, Louis." Dongfang Qixing glanced at Louis with a smile and said, "Maybe it's not about change, but finding the right path? Well, old friend, you may not know that I have more people on the company's board of directors than you do."
"I know."
The power of the company began to change. As Louis grew older, Dongfang Qixing's reputation grew. In recent years, he used immeasurable wealth to win everyone's hearts.
"That's right, you're just old, not blind." Dongfang Qixing turned around, looked at Louis face to face, and said, "As good friends, I think we need to talk about the purpose of the company's existence."
"For the Amber King."
"I know, this is the original intention. I promise you that no matter what happens, from today to the future, the Building Materials Circulation Department will always exist." Dongfang Qixing smiled and said, "I want to talk to you about the future."
"future?"
Louis put his crutches aside, straightened his back, looked at Dongfang Qixing, and said, "What do you want to say, old friend."
"A brand new road." Dongfang Qixing spread his hands, exuding an aura that Louis could not understand. He said emotionally, "Remember the Sri Lankan galaxy we arrived at? The natives there were just primitive people, but when we arrived there and traded with them through barter, in just a few decades they had leapt over a civilization development history that would have taken thousands of years."
"That was the most primitive way of trading, where people came face to face to get goods or food, each taking what they needed and benefiting from the other." Dongfang Qixing said, "Later, we issued credit points and gave them currency properties. When I saw the credit points I created begin to circulate throughout the universe, I seemed to see the entire universe radiating the light of wealth."
"That's right, wealth! Credit points can not only bring material abundance, but also spiritual wealth." Dongfang Qixing opened his arms and said sacredly: "This empty universe will eventually be shrouded in the light of wealth, and I will follow this path and let..."
boom--
The gunshot rang out. Dongfang Qixing looked down at his bleeding chest, then looked at Louis, whose face was filled with mixed emotions, regret and anger. He shook his head and sighed, "Ah."
Regret, remorse, regret, and pain were all expressions that appeared after the shooting. Louis Fleming understood that the dispute over routes was more terrible than war. It was a true fight to the death. If he didn't kill Dongfang Qixing, Dongfang Qixing would still do it to him - the company only needed one voice!
"Dongfang Qixing." Louis raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Dongfang Qixing's head again, saying, "Have you forgotten our oath? You have become crazy. In your eyes, the original belief is just a tool to negotiate with me? From the establishment of the company, from now on until someday in the future, there will always be only one purpose!"
"Dedicate everything to the Amber King!"
boom!
The second shot rang out. Dongfang Qixing was still alive. Louis looked at him with horror, and saw that Dongfang Qixing's blood became extremely hot, and drops of blood fell on the ground and turned into gold nuggets.
"Follow me and chase wealth." Dongfang Qixing smiled triumphantly, smeared his golden blood on Louis' forehead, and said, "Come and witness the birth of a new Star God..."
At this moment, Dongfang Qixing seemed to have become the center of the entire universe. Louis felt that the breath similar to that of the Amber King began to spread, which was the smell of the Star God.
"You..." Louis then realized that Dongfang Qixing's obsession with wealth, his pursuit of wealth, and his expansion of wealth have made him qualified to knock on the door of existence!
Everything about the company and the meaning of his existence could never change! Flames ignited in Louis' eyes, sparks from the hammer of the Amber King falling!
Throughout his life, no matter how hard he worked to build the company and dedicate himself to the Amber King, he never even got a glance from Him. But at the moment when everything the company had was about to be taken away, Clipper turned his gaze to him.
"Without selfishness, how can we talk about protection?"
Louis understood that the reason why he was not noticed by the Amber King was because he had nothing he wanted to protect. It was not until now, in the company's route dispute, that he realized that what he wanted to protect was everything he had created.
The power of protection began to emerge. Louis looked at Dongfang Qixing, who was experiencing enlightenment and upgrading. With the blessing of Klipper, he punched him in the face. Dongfang Qixing, who was originally comprehending his fate, suddenly paused.
Louis would not give people the chance to transform. He was not invincible anyway. The old man directly pushed him into the primitive warehouse over there!
"call."
After doing all this, Louis suddenly fell to the ground holding the container.
Am I doing the right thing?
I did the right thing!
The company exists only for Amber King! Not for the so-called bullshit wealth!
"Send the Dongfang family out of Pier Point, and the company will give them dividends for 10,000 or 100,000 years. The only requirement is that they never return to Pier Point."
…………
So, the curse and the gift, the curse refers to the golden blood given by friends, and the gift is the blessing of the Amber King.
Listening to Fleming talking about the past, Alex crossed his arms. He didn't know how to evaluate Fleming, but it was obvious that he was definitely a crazy man who was obsessed with security, and the most fanatical one in the company. He would kill anything that affected security.
"I didn't expect there were so many things in the past, but you failed, didn't you?" Alex looked at Mr. Fleming and said, "Freezing is just an illusion. When time reaches the scale of 100,000 years, the time inside is still flowing. And now, Dongfang Qixing, or the God of Wealth, is almost complete now."
Now, the entire universe is flowing with his blood - credit points. The moment Dongfang Qixing comes out, he will directly ascend to the throne of Star God.
There are no surprises.
His power has begun to spread outward. It took him 100,000 years, and he is about to break out.
"You're right." Louis looked at the vase and said, "The company has changed a lot in the past 100,000 years. He had already left enough backup plans before meeting me. The company has gradually changed in the way he expected. And I can't leave here. I must protect this container. Once it has problems, the subspace will explode and he will become "Him."
"Or rather." Louis put a hand on his forehead. After a moment, a golden vertical pupil appeared in the place where Dongfang Qixing had touched him. He said, "Affected by him, once I touch upon the specific affairs of the company, I will also uncontrollably pursue wealth. Maintaining the status quo is the only thing I can do now."
"The road to preservation and wealth is only a thin line apart." Louis looked at Alex and said, "But this is about the peace of the universe, or destruction. The Interstellar Peace Company has created too many evils. It doesn't mean that it is right for the Amber King not to stop it. So, I would like to ask you to completely eliminate the choice of [wealth]."
"I?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for a hundred thousand years." Louis looked at Alex and said, "So far, you are the only one who is qualified to do this and the one who is most likely to be willing to do this."
Those who can kill [Wealth] are basically Star Gods, and Star Gods will not listen to Louis' request. Even the Amber King is the same. For the Amber King, the birth of wealth is just something that has nothing to do with him. Destruction may be willing to do it, but when destruction comes, it will not only destroy wealth, but also everything in the company, everything in Pierpoint.
As for the remaining people, they were unable to threaten the demigod inside. There was no doubt that the guy inside had already begun to acquire the power of a god after a hundred thousand years, but he had not yet truly ascended the throne.
Louis once took this to find IX, wanting to use IX to bury him, but unfortunately, he himself had no way to get close to IX. Now, the person who symbolizes IX's power has finally appeared.
"Everything the Fleming family has in Interstellar Peace Company, including shares, wealth, and everything I own." Louis said in a loud voice: "All will be paid to you as compensation."
…………
"Grandmaster!"
At the same time, not long after Louis took Alex away, Balint found a magical master on the island. This master claimed to know everything about astronomy and geography. With his help, Balint accomplished many things.
It was a bar. When Balint entered, he found that the people drinking inside were looking at him with strange eyes, but he didn't care. He walked straight into the innermost private room. He said to the gauze curtain in the private room: "You are right. I saw Dongfang Qixing today! That guy must have sealed our ancestor."
"Then make your choice." The master's voice sounded magical, as if many people were speaking at the same time, and he said, "Your ancestor has already ascended to the Star God of Wealth. All you have to do is release him. At that time, the strength and life span of the universe will be determined by the amount of wealth."
Balint swallowed his saliva. What does this mean? Fleming, the richest man, will truly become a divine messenger under the leadership of his ancestors. At that time, no matter what Black Tower or Alex is, they can only bow their heads respectfully when they see them!
"But that old guy is quite powerful, and there is also Rand." Balint said with some concern: "I don't know why he went there. I... our power cannot stop him."
"Come forward."
After hearing this, Balint took two steps forward, and a finger stretched out from the gauze and touched Balint's forehead.
Silently, without any movement.
But Balint's eyes became brighter and brighter. He felt a vast power entering his body and being used for his own benefit. It was the power from the Star God! After a moment, he suddenly understood something.
I am powerful! I am already an envoy! I am now invincible! No one can stop me now!
"This is what I'm lending you. Go and kill that 'Dongfang Qixing'. Go and release your ancestor, 'Fortune'."
"Yes!"
Balint left here with confidence. After he left, countless masks were hung on the walls of the room and crazy laughter was heard in the room.
The joyful existence laughed loudly, laughing at the fool's persistence and people's greed.
"Hahahaha, a company that did everything for King Amber suddenly changed its name to believe in wealth. What an interesting cosmic event that would be."
"Want to try to stop me? Alex~Alex~hahahahahaha~"
