Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 215 - 212-Commander Arthur’s Been Scammed Too Much—His Awareness Is on Another Level

"Thank you both for your help!"

"Of course, I won't let your efforts go unrewarded. As it happens, I have some ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum on hand. If either of you needs any, I can share a bit."

Hmm?

Just as Velen finished speaking, he watched as Kurt suddenly shoved half of Kevin's body out the window. The abrupt move left Velen blinking in bafflement.

What happened to the so-called undying friendship across generations? Why did it suddenly look like they were splitting ways?

"What the hell?!"

"Kurt, what the hell are you doing?!" Kevin, who was now halfway out the window, shouted in disbelief.

"What am I doing?"

"Didn't you say you had something important to go take care of?"

"Then hurry up and get lost! I've endured so much already—I carved 9,998 rabbit sculptures! Why the hell should you get rewarded by His Highness Velen for carving just one?!"

Hahaha!

Kevin burst into laughter at Kurt's furious rant.

"That's just fate, my friend. Timing is everything. Besides, you were the one who called me here, and you were the one who didn't let me leave. You wanted me to share your pain, but I ended up profiting off of it instead. Ain't life grand?"

Moments later—

As the two elderly men finally quieted down, Velen seemed to catch onto something from their exchange. He smiled and turned to Kurt.

"Kurt, rest assured. The amount of ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum I give you will definitely be more than what he gets."

Hearing this, Kurt—who had been sulking—instantly lit up. He shot a smug look at Kevin, a triumphant gleam in his eyes.

On the street—

"Your Highness Velen, how much ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum do you actually have? Why didn't you just take it out back in the study?" Kurt asked curiously as he followed beside Velen.

"I only have a small piece, but it wouldn't have been convenient to take it out in your study. Let's go to Commander Arthur's residence first."

Hearing this, Kurt didn't ask further and simply followed Velen on the way to Arthur's estate.

"Your Highness Velen, what brings you here?"

Arthur, who had been in the middle of studying sculpture techniques and comprehending artistic domains, looked up in surprise upon seeing Velen return with Kurt and Kevin.

"I was planning to give them something, so I brought them along."

With that, Velen retrieved the so-called "small piece" of ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum from his system storage.

BOOM!

A deafening crash shook the ground, followed by violent tremors. A massive boulder—over ten meters in diameter and a hundred meters tall—appeared in front of everyone.

"WHAT?!"

"This is what you call a small piece?!"

Kurt and Kevin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as they stared up at the towering monolith of pure Astral Aurum.

Along the way, both of them had been wondering why Velen said it was "inconvenient" to take out such a small piece in the study. Now they understood—this was his idea of "small"?

They both wanted to grab Velen by the collar and shout: "Do you even know what 'small' means?!"

"Damn it!"

"I knew it would be like this!"

Even Velen was overwhelmed when he saw the towering structure again, muttering with a dry laugh, "Calling this a small piece? If this were a big one, it'd probably pierce through the upper plane universe!"

After circling around the massive chunk of Astral Aurum, Velen gave a bitter chuckle at his own understatement.

Soon, with Velen's permission, Kurt and Kevin carefully cut off a piece each—roughly the length and thickness of an arm.

Just that much was enough for them to produce at least a hundred Astral Aurum carving pens!

To be honest, even those pieces felt too generous. For sculpture practitioners, Astral Aurum—especially ten-thousand-year refined—is priceless. No matter how big the original block was, it still belonged to Velen.

"What do you two think you're doing?"

At Velen's sudden shout, both Kurt and Kevin flinched, guilt washing over them. They mentally cursed themselves for being greedy—had they taken too much?

"That tiny bit? That's not even enough to stoke a fire!"

"Step aside—I'll cut some for you!"

Both of them froze on the spot when they heard what Velen said next.

"Here."

Velen handed over two thick chunks of Astral Aurum, each about a meter wide and two meters tall. Kurt and Kevin were so moved they nearly burst into tears.

Too sudden!

The happiness had arrived way too suddenly!

As the two elderly men clung to their respective Astral Aurum blocks with faces full of joy, Velen turned to Kurt and said, "Didn't I say you'd get more than he did? Go ahead—cut a piece ten times bigger than his."

"No, no! Your Highness Velen, this is more than enough! Any more and I won't be able to handle it!"

Kurt waved his hands frantically, refusing the offer.

He was already dizzy from the euphoria. If Velen really gave him a piece ten times larger, the joy might literally knock him unconscious!

"Oh?"

Velen glanced meaningfully at Kevin, then smiled. "That's fine. One block each, then. That way, neither of you has to worry about the other."

"Your Highness Velen, don't tell me you plan on turning that entire 'small' chunk of ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum into carving pens for me to use?" Leon walked over at that moment with a wry smile.

"There's no way I'd finish using them even if I carved until I dropped dead!"

"Turn the whole thing into carving pens for you?"

"You wish!"

Velen scowled, shaking his head in mock exasperation.

"Aren't you the one who was recently working as a servant? You didn't think to use this Astral Aurum to replace the busted water buckets at the fortress?"

"And what about the communal bathtubs? The foot basins everyone uses? Don't they deserve an upgrade?"

"Your Highness Velen truly is one of a kind," Kris said with a helpless smile.

"His spendthrift ways really know no bounds. That's ten-thousand-year Astral Aurum we're talking about…"

Thunder Knight Commander nodded with a sigh. "Even though I'm not a sculptor, I feel a little heartache just hearing about it."

"Are you two idiots?"

Arthur looked at the two of them like they were morons.

"What's your problem, old man? Why insult us?"

"Yeah! How are we being dumb?"

Kris and Thunder turned on him with frowns.

Sigh…

Seeing they still hadn't caught on, Arthur shook his head in disappointment.

"You two should stop calling yourselves Knight Commanders. From now on, you're Dumb One and Dumb Two of the Kingdom."

"Watch and learn from me."

With that, Arthur strode confidently toward Velen, flashing a cautious but eager smile.

"Your Highness Velen, I've been practicing archery a lot lately, and I just happen to be short on some targets… I was wondering if, perhaps…"

Before Arthur could finish, Velen's eyes lit up.

"Old Arrow! Your awareness is really on point! If you're lacking targets, what are you waiting for? Go cut some material!"

"Oh, and do you need more arrows for your practice? If so, then cut extra!"

As the idea popped into his head, Velen enthusiastically encouraged Arthur, genuinely worried the old man wouldn't take enough.
