I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 789 - 787: Turns Out to Be a Poor Ghost

The two-month journey was not tedious. Super God Academy, with its high-dimensional properties that disregarded space and time, allowed Zhang Menglong to enter and exit at will. Unfortunately, he could not use Super God Academy to enter Earth; otherwise, that really would have been a cheat.

During this period, Zhang Menglong had officially broken through to the Heavenly Origin Boundary and become a standard Level Four Life Form! At this level of existence, even in Level Two or Three civilizations, he could move freely.

Of course, to facilitate communication, Zhang Menglong had also learned a universal language used by almost all civilizations that were part of the Universal Alliance,

"Dean, we’re almost at the Izek civilization," Gou Dan informed. According to the rules of the Cosmic Civilization convention, any spaceship must switch to conventional propulsion modes when it is about ten astronomical units away from a civilized planet. It could no longer travel through wormholes or use warp drives."

"Hmm? And why is that?"

"Host, think about it. If a fleet were to suddenly appear on the edge of your civilization using this method, wouldn’t that be a huge threat?" Gou Dan said, "Any such act would be deemed an act of aggression, and under cosmic law, it could be met with direct attack!"

"That’s pretty harsh."

"However, most civilizations set up a low-speed domain around them. Any spaceship passing through this area would be destroyed instantly if it didn’t slow down."

"I get that!" Zhang Menglong knew that the speed of light in a vacuum was about 300,000 kilometers per second. If a ship maintained its speed in a low-speed area, according to Newton’s law, the velocity of the spaceship would instantly decrease, and the acceleration would crush the spacecraft.

This is a law of the cosmic natural order unless your ship’s material and body are strong enough to withstand that kind of instant acceleration, which is almost impossible.

"Turn off the warp drive, switch to nuclear fuel propulsion!"

The spaceship began to slow down gradually, and everything outside the window once again became clear and normal. A huge blue star appeared before him; the Izek civilization was located on the fifth planet of this star system.

"Spaceships! There are other civilization’s spaceships too!" Zhang Menglong noticed other spaceships passing by his.

"Isn’t that quite normal?" Gou Dan remarked, "The Izek civilization is a Level Two civilization after all, the economic center of all surrounding civilizations, much like your Huaxia’s Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. It’s normal for them to have developed transport, and under normal conditions, such civilizations even have dedicated spaceports. Of course, the docking fees are very high."

"Gou Dan, help me gather some data on this Izek civilization."

"The star of the Izek civilization is a first-class star, nearly the size of Sirius. Their parent planet’s radius is about 81.75 times that of Earth, ten times larger than your Jupiter. On this planet, one year is about 43 Earth years, with gravity 1.4 times that of Earth, and the atmospheric composition is over 90% similar to Earth’s, just different in proportion."

"That means it’s quite suitable for human habitation."

"You could say that, Dean. As a Level Four Life Form like you, you could live on just about any habitable planet. For an ordinary Earthling coming here, the most they could suffer would be altitude sickness."

"That really makes one look forward to it even more." Looking at the lake-blue planet that was growing larger in his sight, Zhang Menglong felt an inexplicable excitement stirring within him.

Under the propulsion of the nuclear fusion drive, Zhang Menglong finally slowly made his way to the spaceport of the Izek civilization.

However, the port was not located on the Izek planet but was built on one of its 27 moons.

Following the directions of the satellite spaceport, Zhang Menglong slowly docked his spaceship at the nearest moon. Looking down from high above, the area was densely packed with spaceships: some large, some small, some for civilian use, and others belonging to interplanetary corporations’ freight ships, and so on.

Zhang Menglong stepped out of the spaceship; the slight increase in gravity and the marginally lower oxygen levels didn’t cause him any discomfort, but on the contrary, in such an advanced civilization environmental issues should have been completely resolved, making the air feel exceptionally fresh.

"Sir, please pay the docking fee," suddenly, a driver in a vehicle that looked like an electric car – though it hovered mid-air – stopped beside him. A creature, who resembled an elf from a CG game, was sitting on it.

He was tall and extremely handsome, but the moment he opened his mouth to collect money, the illusion shattered.

"What’s going on? Isn’t money supposed to be collected after parking?" Zhang Menglong asked, looking confused. He had used countless parking lots, and even the most upscale ones never asked for money before parking.

"Dean, this is a spaceship, not a car. Such a huge thing can’t just park anywhere; usually, a deposit is collected first, and then the balance is adjusted when you leave."

"How much will it cost?" Zhang Menglong instinctively reached into his pocket for his phone, but then he suddenly realized, this isn’t Earth!

He owned trillions of US dollars, but away from Earth, that meant nothing!

His primary purpose for this trip was to withdraw money; now, he awkwardly realized he might have to scratch out a First-grade Thomson suit directly from the ground.

"Sir, we charge 10,000 Izek Crystal Chips. If you pay with Galactic credits, you can enjoy a 10% discount, and with Laniakea currency, an 20% discount is applicable,"

"What are all these things?" Zhang Menglong couldn’t make heads or tails of these bizarre currencies.

"These Izek Crystal Chips are the circulating currency of the entire Izek civilization," Gou Dan explained, "Galactic credits are the circulating currency of the Level Three civilization zones within the Milky Way, which is part of the Laniakea Galaxy Cluster. Laniakea currency is the currency used in this city."

"Is there anything higher?" Zhang Menglong decided to ask all at once.

"Certainly, the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire governs the entire Laniakea Galaxy Cluster, and Twin Whales Currency is the highest currency they use," Gou Dan explained. "There’s also a top-tier currency known as Cosmic Coins, which are universally accepted across the universe, but they are seldom seen in places like this."

"Because they are very powerful?"

"Not really, the value of every level of civilization’s currency is a ten thousandfold different, but higher currencies rarely circulate in lower civilizations. Using a high-grade currency to exchange for a lower one usually yields 10% or even a higher rate on top of the original exchange rate."

"I see," Zhang Menglong nodded. However, no matter which currency it was, he didn’t have a penny on him, "Can I pay with Huaxia currency?"

Based on that rate, paying a hundred million Huaxia currency should be about right.

"Huaxia currency? What currency is that?"

"You idiot, Dean!" Gou Dan burst out scolding, "Your Earth isn’t even a registered cosmic civilization, how would your currency count for anything? Even if it increased by ten million times, no one would recognize it!"

"Sorry, I came here to withdraw money from the bank and didn’t bring any with me, can I pay when I leave?" Zhang Menglong asked politely, never thinking he’d be in a situation where having no money would make it so difficult to move forward.

"Sorry, we don’t have such a policy here," the Izek civilization fee collector flatly refused, "No wonder you are flying such an outdated model of spaceship. Could it be picked up or stolen? Turns out you’re just a pauper!"
