Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 122 - -The Collapsing Crowd!
Seeing Velen with his "it’s for your own good" attitude, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of collapse.
The Advanced Life Potion was indeed a great item, but they had drunk so many potions before that they were sick of them—literally.
One or two bottles were fine, but drinking too much? That was unbearable. Their past experiences, like the sharpest daggers, stabbed into their hearts, making them extremely uncomfortable.
Velen’s kindness did not take their feelings into account at all!
The Advanced Life Potion was certainly valuable, but giving them so much at once was beyond their limit!
"Velen, I think… it’s best if we don’t drink this potion," Ethan swallowed hard and braced himself to speak to Velen.
Velen, however, did not respond. Instead, he simply smiled and covered one of his eyes.
Ethan’s scalp immediately went numb. The image of that one-eyed red-haired man surfaced in his mind, making his face instantly pale.
The overwhelming power of that mysterious man made it impossible for him to resist in the slightest.
The others present, including Kevin, also recalled the red-haired man, and their faces turned just as pale.
The last time Velen handed out potions in the Fortress’s great hall, he had threatened them in the same manner.
They knew what was happening, and they didn’t want to obey, but they had no choice.
After all, that mysterious man’s strength was terrifying beyond measure.
Even if they all joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
Realizing that resistance was futile, there was only one option left—compliance.
Ethan, who had been the most vocal in opposition earlier, was the first to grab the Life Potion in front of him and gulp it down.
Seeing this, Kevin and the others could only accept their fate and quickly downed their own potions as well.
Anastasia, after drinking for a while, felt her stomach churning violently.
Feeling utterly miserable, she angrily set a new rule on the spot:
"From now on, Fortress prohibits all combat sparring! Anyone who dares to instigate a fight will be kicked out of Fortress!"
Meanwhile, Velen Arrives at Alan’s Courtyard
While he had already begun collecting Luxury Points from the others, there were still a few like Alan who had yet to receive his "care." He certainly wouldn’t forget them.
As soon as Velen stepped into the courtyard, Alan immediately noticed him and rushed forward.
"Velen! You’re finally back!"
"Yeah, I’m back. Alan, how’s the transition to being a mixologist? Any issues adjusting?" Velen asked as he looked at Alan’s excited expression.
Alan grinned with pure joy. "Velen, I never realized how much more fun bartending is compared to alchemy!"
"The costs are low, the drinks I mix sell for a high price, and the taste is fantastic. I’m absolutely loving it!"
Huh?
Velen widened his eyes in surprise. He had assumed Alan would have complaints about this career change.
Who would have thought… that he actually liked it?
Could it be that he had accidentally steered him toward his true passion?
"You’re enjoying it? Does that mean you have a talent for it?" Velen asked curiously.
Alan shook his head. "I don’t know. My mentor only taught me some basic techniques and processes. I experimented with mixing drinks myself, and the flavors and effects always turned out great. Maybe it’s talent, or maybe it’s because I was an alchemist before."
At that, Alan looked at Velen gratefully.
"Either way, Velen, I owe you big time. If not for your keen eye, I might have missed out on my life’s true passion."
"Before, I thought you were just a tycoon, but I didn’t expect you to have such sharp insight!"
??
Velen was full of question marks. He had just wanted to flaunt his wealth—who knew Alan would turn out to be a genius?
The Unexpected Visitor
"Alan, are you making drinks? Need some help?"
At that moment, a voice interrupted. The muscle-bound loli, Victoria, had entered the courtyard.
Velen immediately turned to Alan. "Tsk, tsk. I didn’t take you for a romantic. How far have things progressed between you two?"
"Let me remind you—Victoria might look fierce, but she’s actually a pure-hearted girl. You better not mess around and leave her heartbroken!"
Alan: "…"
"What nonsense are you talking about? She’s always coming to me, but not because she likes me. She’s just obsessed with my cocktails, bar snacks, and desserts!"
Velen was momentarily stunned but quickly realized it made sense.
As far as he knew, romance wasn’t exactly Victoria’s priority—food and drinks, however, absolutely were.
A New Task for Victoria
"Velen? What are you doing here?"
Victoria, who had initially come to ask Alan about food and drinks for the evening, was startled to see Velen.
Ever since she had encountered the one-armed red-haired man, she had held a deep sense of reverence for Velen and preferred not to be around him—perhaps even feared him.
"Well, if it isn’t Victoria," Velen said with a smirk, finally noticing her presence.
From what he remembered, Victoria never seemed to have anything urgent to do—she always seemed to be wandering around Fortress.
And now, with the large number of Soul Stones he had acquired, he had a perfect task for her.
"Since you’re always running around Fortress with nothing to do, I have a task for you."
Hearing this, Victoria instantly became wary and whispered cautiously, "Velen, I’m Lord Anastasia’s friend. And for the record, I’m not just aimlessly wandering around—I supervise the young elites in their training!"
Despite her internal fear, she forced herself to push back, worried that Velen might assign her some horrible job.
"They’re all inside the barrier training right now. They don’t need supervision. Just focus on burning incense in Fortress from now on."
"I’ll even set up a dedicated incense-burning courtyard. All Fortress senators and disciples will have to spend time there regularly."
"Oh, and one more thing—when burning the Soul Stone incense, make sure Senator Clinton stays far away."
Clinton was already on the verge of ascension. If he were exposed to the incense’s power, he might ascend on the spot, which would be a huge problem.
But Victoria didn’t know this. She simply assumed Velen was playing favorites, so she asked, "Why? Senator Clinton has always been good to us."

"If you want him to stay alive, do as I say," Velen replied seriously, offering no further explanation.
Hearing this, even Alan was taken aback, not understanding what Velen meant.
The Shocking Display
At that moment, Velen retrieved massive Soul Stones, each the size of a house, from his system space and placed them in the courtyard.
"Velen, are you serious? Grinding these into incense?"
Alan’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
Victoria was equally stunned as she stared at the enormous Soul Stones. "Velen, these stones contain an incredibly vast soul energy… and you want to burn them as incense?"
"Of course. Don’t be stingy. If you need more, just ask—I have plenty!"
Burning Soul Stones would greatly benefit the soul. He had way too many of them, and his plan was to use everything up before heading to the Upper Plane Universe.
In this world, these items were precious. But in the Upper Plane Universe, they were nothing special.
The road to flaunting his wealth had only just begun!
Meanwhile, in a Vast Starfield…
A massive fleet was approaching Uranus Fortress.
"We’re about to arrive at Uranus Fortress! Everyone, tidy up your appearance! We must not leave a bad impression on Lord Velen. Prepare to express our gratitude to him!" Continue your saga on novelbuddy
Inside the fleet, the Aurora Trade Guild’s Head swept a serious gaze over everyone.
The closer they got to Fortress, the more excited he became. His face was filled with anticipation.
The legendary tycoon, Velen—he had waited long enough to meet him.
