I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 821 - 819: Just Show Me the Most Expensive One
Chapter 821: Chapter 819: Just Show Me the Most Expensive One
"He’s simply a devil!" Ireel’s brothers and sisters were utterly shocked by Zhang Menglong’s fancy maneuvering.
You should know, this type of bicycle is a convenient means of transport, used mostly by commuters who live relatively close to their workplace within the Izek civilization.
As for bicycles used in space, they are mostly for sightseeing purposes. Although they don’t consume energy and are completely human-powered, their peak speed is only about 200 kilometers per hour.
Even if you’re a Level Six life form pedaling for your life, the mechanical structure limits its speed.
You could say that on a planet, such a mode of transport is indeed convenient. If it were on a planet the size of Earth, it could be called a divine artifact.
But can you imagine Bernard riding a bike back home?
His home is in the center of the Milky Way, at least 30,000 light years away from the Izek civilization.
What is the concept of 30,000 light years? Even at the speed of light, it would take 30,000 years to traverse the universe! A high-speed train at 200 kilometers per hour would take 5.4 million years to cover one light year, which means 1.62 trillion years for 30,000 light years!
The universe hasn’t even existed for 1.62 trillion years!
Even reaching the nearest Level Two civilization with a Sebosk Corporation would take millions, if not tens of millions, of years, and many Level Five life forms might not even live that long.
Of course, in the frictionless space of the universe, theoretically, this bicycle’s speed should continually increase. Maybe years later, a beam of light might appear in space, and you’d think it’s Ultraman, but in fact, it’s a person pedaling a bicycle at nearly the speed of light, which is quite absurd when you think about it.
However, even if the actual time isn’t millions of years, it will probably still take at least a few thousand years, as accelerating and decelerating still require a lot of time.
Pedaling a bicycle for thousands of years—if you’re trying to kill me, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush! I don’t want to live anymore, is that okay?
"Are you going to pedal or not?" Zhang Menglong stared at Bernard and said, "If you don’t pedal, I’ll kill you now!"
"I’ll pedal! I’ll pedal!" To be honest, Bernard really has some qualities of enduring hardship. Compared to staying alive, nothing is more important.
As long as he pedals fast enough, maybe in just a few hundred years, he can reach the nearest Sebosk branch, and then he’ll be saved.
As for his legs, if he pedals for a few hundred years, they’re likely to be physically sanctified by then, right?
"Ireel, send Mr. Bernard the best bicycle and prepare some food. I remember there are those capsule pills, right? They’re super compressed, with intermolecular distances pressed to the extreme, enough for him to eat for a few hundred years."
"Okay, I’ll have everything arranged!" With the assets from Sebosk Corporation in hand, Ireel became much bolder. Even if Zhang Menglong leaves the Izek civilization in the future, with these assets, it’s Bernard who should be afraid then.
...
Everything returned to normal, except that the Izek civilization changed ownership, as if Zhang Menglong had never arrived.
In order to take over the assets transferred from Bernard, Ireel found himself buried in work. After all, this was a huge corporation spanning dozens of Level Three civilizations and Ireel currently had no trusted people to help manage the company’s matters, requiring him to handle many tasks personally.
As for Zhang Menglong, he now had something very important to do, and that was to hurry up and replace his old antique broken spaceship!
On Earth, online shopping has become mainstream. In civilizations above Level Two, many planets, except for food, no longer have physical stores.
They often convert many uninhabited planets into storage and logistics bases, where most goods are piled up, and customers can complete purchases directly through the networks of major cosmic supermarkets.
In the Izek civilization, they can at most buy some Level Three civilization spaceships. After all, Level Two civilizations have limited purchasing power, and not even the lords of the Milky Way might afford a Level Four civilization spaceship.
But if it’s just for a test drive or a look, that can be done on any planet.
Ireel told Zhang Menglong that the best private spaceship company in the universe is called the Lancelot Company. The founders of this company are from a very ancient civilization that was among the first in the universe to enter the industrial age and to this day, their civilization remains very prosperous.
It is said that the territory of the civilization where Lancelot Company is located is almost a thousand times the size of the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire. Their automated mechanical technology is also the best in the universe and they even have some of the best designers—spaceships they produce are known far and wide!
"I want to connect to the Lancelot Company!" Zhang Menglong used the Universal Alliance network to directly connect to Lancelot Company’s virtual store.
Even in highly developed Artificial Intelligence civilizations, the sales profession still exists, because they can never fully replace humans in certain areas.
This is a vast virtual space, and Zhang Menglong even speculated whether this space was as large as Earth.
Around him were rows of private spaceships, each designed vastly different from the next, likely to satisfy a variety of needs from different civilizations.
It’s said that Lancelot Company only produces spaceships above Level Three, and anyone capable of purchasing here is at least a lord of a Level Two civilization or higher.
But the universe is vast, and Lancelot Company’s warehouses and factories are spread throughout, causing an endless stream of customers.
"Awesome!" Zhang Menglong seemed to understand why they placed so many spaceships here. Just like sports cars, no one can resist such allure. As long as they have enough money, many would lose their ability to think rationally in their excitement.
And for this company, it’s just a string of data. This level of virtual reality technology was already achievable in Level Three civilizations, not to mention a universe-scale private spaceship company like this.
"Sir, it’s a pleasure to serve you. My name is Anninas, and I’m honored to assist you!"
"Wow, an elf lady!" Zhang Menglong immediately guessed the race of the salesperson. She had fair skin, green hair like nature, pointy ears, long legs, and such a figure, that waist-to-hip ratio!
"Hahaha, Director, any decent company in this universe often hires elf females or males for sales positions. They naturally possess an affinity and their appearance fits the aesthetics of nearly all intelligent beings. Who can resist handsome men and beautiful women?"
"Tsk tsk tsk," Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but sigh, "This company clearly knows the secret to traffic."
"And this is just the regular elf race," Gou Dan said, "There’s a race called the Charm Elves, and they naturally have a charm aura. As soon as someone from that race joins any company, they’re invariably the sales champion!"
"Goodness, is the entire universe in a fierce competition?"
"Hello, I’m Zhang Menglong!" Zhang Menglong quickly shook off his lecherous tendencies, "I want to buy a private spaceship. I’ve heard that your company’s private spaceships are the best in the universe, so I wanted to check them out today."
"May I ask what grade of civilization’s spaceship you are interested in purchasing?" Anninas was also taking a sneak peek at Zhang Menglong. When entering the virtual space, the attire is analyzed and uploaded accordingly, so there’s almost no difference between virtual and reality.
However, she mentally labeled Zhang Menglong as a loser because his clothes were made of protein silk, the most common material in Level One civilizations.
Such people are usually just here to have a look, right?
However, a truly excellent company also ensures the outstanding quality of its employees.
But Zhang Menglong’s next statement almost shattered her composure.
"A Level Five civilization’s spaceship, show me the most expensive one, please. If I like it, I’ll pay in full today and take it!"
