Walker Of The Worlds

While conversing Lin Mu and Shu Shaoxing ended up reaching the bank.

“That’s a big building…” Lin Mu looked up at the building which looked no difference than a palace.

It was nearly three hundred meters tall and eight hundred meters wide. There were thousands of people going in and out of its many entrances.

Though strangely enough there was no name board on the building, only a symbol.

The symbol was that of two mirrored scales. The top left pan of the scale held a coin, the top right held a gemstone, the bottom left held a drop of blood and the bottom right held a dagger.

It was certainly a unique symbol that Lin Mu hadn’t seen before.

“It’s definitely one of the biggest buildings I’ve seen too…” Shu Shaoxing nodded his head.

The two of them picked the closest entrance to them and walked into the building. In there, they could see over a hundred counters with clerks sitting behind them.

There were people depositing their items, whether they be coins, immortal stones, herbs or other resources. Then there were staff members that were appraising the items and documenting the transaction.

“I guess we pick a counter?” Shu Shaoxing spoke.

“Let’s see.” Lin Mu lined up at the counter that had the shortest queue.

He ended up waiting for about thirty minutes before it was his turn.

“Welcome to the Grand Imperial Bank of Holy Topaz Empire, how may I help you?” The Clerk asked with a gentle smile.

“We were told to come here after arriving.” Lin Mu spoke.

“Ah! New travelers to our empire.” The Clerk said while clasping his hands. “Please, give me your crystal cards and I’ll help you.”

“Here you go.” Lin Mu and Shu Shaoxing handed the cards.

The clerk took the cards and placed Lin Mu’s card on a special device. It was pyramid shaped but had four spurs coming from its flat sides. The card was firmly clasped by these spurs when the clerk brought it close.

~CLACK~

~HUMM~

A small ray of light rose from the top of the pyramid and hit the crystal card, illuminating it.

Lin Mu’s eyes widened as he saw the dense network of runes that appeared. The ray of light didn’t stop there and a circular formation screen appeared above the card.

“Immortal Mu Lin, is that right?” The Clerk asked for confirmation.

“That’s right.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

“Please put a drop of your blood on the card, it’ll finish the registration and your account will be created.” The clerk instructed.

“Alright.” Lin Mu pricked his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood.

It touched the crystal card, dyeing the rune network inside it red. The circular screen above it also turned red for a moment before returning to its plain white color.

“And it is done.” The Clerk said with a smile. “Would you like to deposit anything?” he asked next.

“Umm, sure.” Lin Mu took out a pouch of Immortal stones. “I’ll deposit these.”

“I’ll take these.” The Clerk placed them on a circle that was on the desk and saw the pouch disappear.

It was the same method that Lin Mu had seen back in Skylark city.

A few seconds later the pouch was returned and some new information appeared on the circular screen. The clerk who saw it raised his brows but quickly returned his expression to normal.

“The deposit has been confirmed.” The clerk said before returning the crystal card to Lin Mu. “You can now use the card to transact with any other person that has it too. In addition to this, you are eligible to avail several services that our bank provides, whether it be the appraisal service, the auction service, or some custom requests.” He explained.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Lin Mu said before letting Shu Shaoxing repeat the process with his crystal card too.

But unlike Lin Mu, the clerk didn’t tell him about the same services.

“You are eligible to use the card for transactions and the appraisal service.” The Clerk informed Shu Shaoxing.

Lin Mu was a little surprised and wondered why there was a difference.

But before he could ask, Shu Shaoxing did it. “I don’t get the same services?”

“Sorry sir, but according to the amount you have deposited only a few services are available to you for free. If you wish to avail the other services for free, you need to deposit more. You can also pay for the other services if you wish to avail them directly.” The clerk replied making Shu Shaoxing furrow his brows.

“How big of a deposit do I need to do?” he asked.

“Please take a look, sir.” The clerk waved his hand, making a list appear. “The service are ranked in a descending order of deposit amount.”

Lin Mu took a look as well feeling curious. But Shu Shaoxing was stunned seeing the top line.

“F-five… Five thousand… Five Thousand high grade Immortal Stones for the custom requests?! One thousand for the Auction Service?” Shu Shaoxing’s eyes were wide open.

He stayed like that for ten seconds before turning to Lin Mu.

“You deposited Five Thousand high Grade immortal stones?” Shu Shaoxing asked in astonishment.

“Well… Ten thousand.” Lin Mu replied.

~gulp~

After hearing that Shu Shaoxing was sure of one thing. ‘Tycoon… Brother Mu Lin is a tycoon!’

He only felt like his initial assumption about Lin Mu being some big shot was correct. It also made sense to him since Immoral Juo was acquainted with him.

Lin Mu had no idea about the misunderstanding that Shu Shaoxing was having. Though even if he did, Lin Mu wouldn’t care much as it didn’t affect him negatively anyway.

The clerk behaved professionally though and spoke again, “if sir Mu Lin wishes to avail any of our service, you can directly head to our VIP counters next time.”

Lin Mu simply nodded his head before taking his leave while Shu Shaoxing followed behind him, his face frozen in astonishment.
