Chapter 1218: Opening a Bank Account
As the lady said, Klaus was in the building for less than five minutes.
They merely took his name and picture. There was nothing like his age, where he came from, his telephone number, and all the other crap he went through back when he was getting his ID on Earth.
After receiving his ID, he left.
Now holding his ID card, he couldn’t help feeling happy.
’One down, one more left to go.’
He soon appeared on the outside, where Maud and the lady were still waiting for him. Not that they could leave… Maud would have informed Klaus.
“Congratulations on getting your ID,” the lady said as she turned the floating platform around. Klaus jumped on it, and soon they started moving toward the bank, which was a couple of minutes from the identification center.
“So, are there some other rules I should be aware of while here?” Klaus asked. He already knew about the no-flying policy, so he wanted to learn more.
He had already sensed a couple of immortals, and while he could kill a couple of them now that he was an Empyrean Stage warrior, he planned not to pick a fight with anyone on the first day.
The lady seemed to have expected this question, so she was quick to answer, “Aside from the no spiritual energy flying rule, the second one is no major battles in public places. You will be kicked out if you don’t adhere to this rule.”
It was a trade planet after all, so damaging infrastructure would come at a rather steep price, even warranting the need to banish anyone involved in damaging public property.
Aside from that rule, everything else that didn’t result in flight and harsh battles was on the table. It meant killing someone who messed with you was allowed.
Klaus didn’t know how to feel about this, but he knew the rules were vague for a reason. People always set these rules to create a bigger problem for those who would violate them.
In essence, if he were to kill someone now, the person’s background, provided they were powerful, would have to step in and then create an even bigger problem, which would lead everyone back to no bigger battles in the city.
It would come at a cost, and Klaus knew that.
’Ah, it’s not like I plan on cutting heads off right away. I am just here to deposit my money and start working on growing stronger.’
“This place is beautiful for sure,” Klaus muttered, looking at the glass buildings towering several meters high, some even touching the yellow clouds.
The sun was still up, so the land was yellow, giving everyone yellow, glossy skin. Klaus looked at Maud, who, despite the yellow surrounding her, still looked dull and dark, as if she owned the color.
“We are here.”
Universe Bank
Klaus looked at the tall building and smiled. ’According to Nadia, opening an account here will enable me to spend my money anywhere I find myself in the universe. It even works in the Demon Universe.’
Klaus walked off the floating platform and took Maud’s hand, helping her walk off too. After they were safe on the ground, the floating platform rose into the air.
“I cannot wait for you since it will take some time to handle everything. You can call me back when done.”
Klaus scratched the back of his head, “Uhm, how do I do that?”
The lady on the floating board looked at him weirdly, but, remembering that Klaus had said this was his first time traveling out of his world, she seemed to grasp his question.
Though strange that a person like Klaus had not heard of communication devices in this modern era, she understood not everyone was exposed to technology like she was.
She was born into technology, so she had been living with it for almost 300 years.
Klaus wanted to say he had only recently reincarnated, so aside from communication crystals, he had no idea how things worked now.
Of course, he used a phone back on Earth, but things were different now. He was far from home.
“Request a Dark Space communicator after you get your bank card. Then call me through this ID.” The lady gave Klaus a metallic card with alphanumeric inscriptions.
Her name was also on it.
’Eri, huh,’ Klaus took mental note of the name.
“I also work on my day off as a navigator, so in case you want to go anywhere in this world, I have a flying vehicle that can handle that. I charge by the hour.”
Klaus placed the card in his space ring and smiled, “I most certainly will give you a call, Eri. In any case, see you later.”
She nodded and left.
Klaus and Maud walked into the building. The moment they entered, a human woman with green, detailed eyes and a metal cheekpiece walked toward them.
“Welcome to the Universe Bank. My name is Lihum. How may I assist you today?”
“I am looking to open an account and deposit something small before continuing my journey,” Klaus replied, and Lihum nodded.
“Please follow me.” Klaus and Maud followed her. A few seconds later, they were inside an office facing someone different. Lihum left and went back to her post.
“My name is Circi. I will be assisting you today.”
Klaus nodded.
“First, can I see your ID?” Klaus retrieved it and handed it to Circi. She placed it on a glass screen.
A few seconds later, she handed it back to Klaus.
“Do you want a global or domestic account? Global accounts work anywhere in the universe, while domestic accounts are only effective while in the Human Universe.
Of course, with a global account, there is a monthly fee of 20,000 Universe Coins, while a domestic account only takes 1,000 Universe Coins.”
“I plan on traveling the universe, so I will go for global.”
Circi nodded with a smile and keyed in some details. A few minutes later, she spoke again.
“To finish creating the account, you must deposit something that can at least cover the cost of the monthly global fees.”
Klaus retrieved one of the credit cards Nadia and Yuying had brought and handed it over. The lady nodded and placed the card on the same glass screen. A few seconds later, Klaus heard a ding.
This prompted him to conclude that the process was finished. As expected, a path opened on the table, and a sleek card appeared.
“Here is your bank card. You can use it anywhere you go in the universe.” Klaus received the card with a smile.
“Thank you. But I was told to request a Black Space communicator…”
“Of course. It is an add-on, but since most people already have communicators, we tend to forget about it. Forgive me for that.”
Klaus smiled, “No need to worry about that. I merely want one since I am bound to make friends on this journey.”
“I completely understand.” Circi reached into what appeared to be a storage space for the bank and pulled out a sleek-looking watch.
“Just place your bank card on it, and it will activate. It charges using spiritual qi, so there is no need to worry about it going off.
Lastly, when you get a Dark Space connector, the communicator will automatically link to it, helping you capture both contact IDs and Userlinks.”
Klaus nodded, only having a fair idea of what she said. He will find out more later
“In any case, where do I go if I want to deposit more money into my account?”
Circi smiled and pointed at herself, “How much do you want to deposit?”
Klaus retrieved two God Crystals and placed them on the table.
Circi’s eyes widened.
