Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!

Before long, under Velen's guidance, Corner arrived at the courtyard where Alan was staying.

At that moment, Alan was resting in his room. Seeing Velen bringing along a mysterious person he had never met before, he was slightly startled but still got up to greet them.

"Velen, is something the matter?"

He couldn't shake the feeling that the mysterious old man was looking at him strangely. The way he was being scrutinized made him inexplicably uneasy.

"Alan, you were the first person I brought into Fortress, and I care deeply about your future!"

Velen lightly patted Alan on the shoulder.

Hearing these words, Alan was instantly thrilled.

Being valued by Velen—this was something he had long dreamed of!

After all, with Velen's tycoon status, gaining his favor could mean a meteoric rise—an incredible opportunity!

"Velen, you really do treat me like a brother!"

Alan's eyes turned red with emotion. He had been in Fortress for quite some time, yet every other genius who had joined far outshone him in almost every aspect.

This had placed a great deal of pressure on him.

But there was little he could do—Hael and the others not only possessed exceptional talent but also had powerful backgrounds, something he could never compete with.

Fortunately, Velen had remembered him now—his chance had arrived!

"Velen, whatever you need me to do, just say the word! I'll work myself to the bone if I have to!"

Alan pounded his chest, making his pledge.

Seeing this, Velen nodded and turned toward Corner. "Alan, this is Corner, our newly joined senator in Fortress. He is also a Ascended Rank powerhouse!"

A flicker of confusion flashed through Alan's eyes. He didn't understand why Velen was introducing Corner at this moment.

Still, Corner was an Ascended Rank awakener, so Alan held a certain level of respect for him. He quickly bowed in greeting.

Velen smiled and said, "From now on, he will be your mentor. You must follow him and learn the art of mixology. Strive to become the greatest bartender in the galaxy!"

"Mentor? Mixology?"

Alan was baffled.

Had Velen misspoken, or had he misheard?

Velen assigning him an Ascended Rank mentor—he was delighted. But learning to mix drinks? That, he could not accept.

He was a Tier 3 Alchemist!

How could he possibly switch to learning mixology?

Although he wasn't the most talented, he still believed himself to have potential. If he were to become a bartender, wouldn't that mean he was no better than a failure?

"Velen, I think I'm still salvageable!"

Being labeled a failure was something Alan absolutely could not accept—not even if the person before him was an Ascended Rank powerhouse!

But before he could say another word, Velen had already pulled out the Nine Dragons Cup from his coat.

"As a mixologist, how can you not have your own mixing tools? This Nine Dragons Cup is my gift to you!"

Velen knew that forcing Alan to become a mixologist would certainly provoke resistance, so before Alan could explode in anger, he had already placed the Nine Dragons Cup into his hands.

Corner, as a top-tier awakener, was strong in all aspects.

And with the added blessing of the Nine Dragons Cup, Velen was convinced that Alan's future would be limitless.

He had always wanted to give Alan, the first person he had recruited into Fortress, a boost. Now, he had finally found the perfect opportunity.

Alan stared at the nine dragon-shaped cups that had suddenly appeared before him, his face filled with shock and astonishment.

Each of the Nine Dragons Cup was unique in form and radiated an immensely terrifying mana aura.

As an alchemist, Alan had a sharp eye for magical artifacts. He could tell instantly that the Nine Dragons Cup was an artifact of the highest quality!

At that moment, as the Nine Dragons Cup appeared, the dragon-shaped cups suddenly began to tremble.

From them, different elemental dragons burst forth!

A Thunder Dragon!

An Ice Dragon!

A Flame Dragon!

…

Nine dragons in total soared into the sky, each carrying wild and violent mana surges, sending powerful waves rippling through the surroundings!

Alan was completely dumbfounded.

The power of the Nine Dragons Cup far exceeded his imagination!

It had even developed sentience!

That was a characteristic found only in artifacts from the Upper Plane Universe!

At the very moment when the nine fierce dragons soared into the sky, a terrifying dragon's might spread, sweeping across the land.

Everyone within Fortress was stunned as the overwhelming dragon's might pressed down on them.

Even they felt their hearts racing in terror!

Then, their pupils shrank even further as they gazed in horror at the dark clouds suddenly gathering in the sky.

Countless black clouds roiled like ink, exuding an unbearably oppressive aura!

This thunderous storm seemed capable of annihilating everything below!

Calamity!

A thunder calamity triggered by a powerful artifact!

At that moment, Ethan and the others trembled, staring in disbelief at the raging storm of lightning above.

They had heard rumors before—whenever a powerful artifact emerged, it would attract the attention of the heavens, which would then attempt to destroy it!

This, in turn, would unleash a disaster even more terrifying than the Thunder Tide!

But… that was just a rumor!

They had never actually seen it happen before.

After all, the kind of blacksmiths capable of forging artifacts that could provoke a calamity were almost nonexistent in the galaxy!

Creating such an artifact required not only an exceptional blacksmith but also extremely rare materials.

Yet now, they were witnessing it with their own eyes!

Clinton, too, was utterly stunned.

Even when he had faced the ninth wave of the Thunder Tide, powerful enough to obliterate dozens of miles of mountains, he had never felt such horror as he did now in the face of this storm!

Even with his current strength, there was no way he could withstand this lightning strike!

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

"What kind of artifact triggered this thunder calamity? It's like the end of the world!"

"This Fortress is truly extraordinary. I've only been here for a day, and already I've encountered something like this!"

Clinton's heart pounded in fear.

He was certain that if this Thunder Calamity spread unchecked, the entire Fortress would be affected!

Unlike the others, who were filled with dread, Corner's eyes were wide with shock and envy.

The closer he examined the Nine Dragons Cup, the more he realized its uniqueness—it was simply the perfect creation of the heavens!

If he could obtain it, even if he died in the Thunder Calamity, he would have no regrets!

"Velen actually handed such a precious artifact to Alan… If only it were mine!"

Corner was practically drooling with desire.

At the same time, he became even more determined to stay in Fortress and cling to Velen's support.

If Velen could casually hand out such a treasure, then anything else he might offer—even if not as extraordinary as the Nine Dragons Cup—would still be immensely valuable!

Meanwhile, Alan's eyes welled up with gratitude.

Velen!

A true brother!

An artifact capable of triggering a Thunder Calamity—in any galaxy, such an item would be fought over by countless awakeners and factions!

It was priceless!

Yet Velen had given it to him without hesitation.

He had once thought that Velen had given up on him, but now he realized—he had simply been thinking too small!

Velen's regard for him was far greater than he had imagined!

Perhaps… becoming a mixologist wasn't such a bad choice after all!

But… this Thunder Calamity was far too terrifying—he had no way of stopping it.

Unlike the others, who were filled with dread, Velen remained calm.

Even though this Thunder Calamity was immensely powerful, he wasn't the least bit worried.

After all, he had yet to use the Eye of Annihilation. With its ability to erase everything, even if the calamity were ten times worse, he could still obliterate it effortlessly.@@novelbin@@

However, since he had a group of tycoon guards standing by with nothing to do, he decided to give them a chance to prove themselves.

Whoever arrived first—it would all depend on luck!

Just as Velen made this decision, the Thunder Calamity in the sky reached its most terrifying peak!

Boom!

The earth trembled as terrifying lightning bolts danced wildly like silver serpents, falling in dense torrents from the sky.

The once-darkened sky, shrouded in storm clouds, was instantly illuminated as bright as day!

A deluge of lightning rained down, like an overturned black ocean in the sky, pressing down so heavily that Clinton and the others could barely breathe.

A suffocating sense of death loomed over them.

They knew—no matter how hard they fought, there was no way they could withstand this devastating lightning strike!
