Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 180 - 177-One’s Willing to Buy, One’s Willing to Sell

"They can see the entire transaction?"

Velen looked even more intrigued after hearing Aedida’s words.

"That’s right. If we had a normal duel, the Hall of Magi would just see that combat."

Aedida paused, then added, "I don’t even want to imagine what their reaction will be when they see this play out…"

—Moments later—

When Aedida saw the one million low-grade mana crystals inside the spatial ring Velen handed him, he shouted with joy, "I surrender!"

Boom!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Mutual Consent contract burst into flames on its own.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have triggered a Prodigal Behavior. +500,000 luxury points. If this purchased ’Rising Magi Rankings – Rank 100’ is acknowledged by the Hall of Magi, an additional +2,500,000 luxury points will be awarded.

Huh?

Velen’s expression brightened at first—but the moment he heard the specific reward numbers, his mood soured slightly.

"System, that felt like an insult."

Ding! Detected host’s sensitivity to certain numbers. Rounding up: Bonus adjusted to 3,000,000 luxury points.

Oh?

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Velen thought for a second, then grinned. "System, what if we round it up again? How about just call it 10 million luxury points?"

Ding! Reminder: This is the Tycoon System, not a Chump System. Please don’t push your luck.

Hahaha!

Velen burst into laughter. The system sounded… mad?

"Your Highness Velen, if we’re done here… may I leave?"

Aedida, standing nearby, was looking more and more nervous. He was terrified Velen might suddenly turn around, kill him, and snatch his million mana crystals back.

"Go on. I’m heading out too."

Velen nodded. The deal was done. Whether or not the Hall of Magi would recognize the transaction, he honestly didn’t care.

He wasn’t about to let a measly 3 million luxury points affect his mood.

Tarot Order

"Kelsey, how come our Tarot Order—despite losing to Triad Sanctum—still manages to have its Rising Magi Rankings recognized across the entire universe?"

Sophia, who was helping process Mutual Consent contracts, looked up with curiosity.

"Saintess, there’s a lot you still don’t know. You think Tarot Order is weak? It’s not us—it’s just that our current generation of Twelve Councilors is lacking."

Seeing that Sophia was still confused, Kelsey chuckled and continued:

"You know the old Dark Councilor William? Back when he came to the Hall of Magi, he borrowed that artifact rather than taking it by force. Know why? Because our Tarot Order has twelve Ascended Rank powerhouses sitting in council. Twelve!"

—A few minutes later—

After listening to all of Tarot Order’s inner secrets, Sophia was truly shocked.

Tarot Order always maintains twelve Ascended Rank councilors.

Right now, those seats are held by the previous generation, known as the Ascended Twelve.

When a current councilor survives the ninth thunder tide, they take over a seat, and the current ascended councilor ascends to the heavens.

Afterward, a new councilor is chosen to restore the number back to twelve.

Sophia’s expression shifted into one of awe and realization.

Only now did she understand how insanely difficult it would be to help Velen take control of the Tarot Order.

"Although you are the Saintess of Tarot, these secrets aren’t something you’re technically allowed to know yet. If it weren’t for your exceptionally powerful divination ability, you’d have to wait another five years to learn this."

Kelsey smiled, then turned back to his work.

"Alright, let’s activate the next Mutual Consent. I can’t believe we’ve had six of them in the past five days."

The previous four Mutual Consents had all ended in failure. He was curious whether the last two might surprise him.

When the fifth Mutual Consent was activated, a combat scene between Aedida and a young man played out like a projection before them.

"Well, that’s interesting. Finally, a successful challenge. Even if it’s just a change at the bottom, the rankings get a refresh."

Kelsey motioned to Sophia to activate the final contract.

"Wait… that’s the guy who just won? Hold on—that’s Velen!!"

Both Kelsey and Sophia looked stunned when Velen appeared on screen.

"…But what are they doing? Why aren’t they fighting?"

On screen, Velen and Aedida were calmly sitting across from each other in a private room. Both Kelsey and Sophia looked confused.

"This is one million low-grade mana crystals! I surrender!"

As the voices rang out and the highly extravagant transaction played out, the projection faded—and Kelsey and Sophia were left completely speechless.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! This is the Rising Magi Rankings, for heaven’s sake! Even if it’s just the last spot, how dare they buy and sell it?!"

Kelsey exploded in anger.

One’s willing to buy. One’s willing to sell.

He could hardly believe what he’d just witnessed.

"The last time something like this happened… it’s been thousands of years! And now, someone dares to pull this stunt again? Both of them are disqualified from ever ranking again. Even if they challenge and win against another Rising Magi Rankings member in the future, it will never count!"

Without hesitation, Kelsey blacklisted both Aedida and Velen from the rankings.

"Kelsey-senator, but Velen did give us that lv9 Forge… I’m worried this might upset him."

Sophia hesitated, reminding him gently.

Hmm?

Kelsey froze. Then his expression turned conflicted.

A lv9 Forge!

That’s a legendary-tier item! There were only a handful across the entire continent.

"No choice," he muttered after a moment. "This is no longer a matter I can decide alone. I’ll go to the Chairman right away and have him convene the rest of the Ten Councilors to discuss this."

Uno Kingdom – Royal Capital

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You’ve successfully entered the Rising Magi Rankings at Rank 100. Bonus awarded: 3,000,000 luxury points!

As Velen continued casually strolling through the bustling city, the system’s prompt suddenly echoed in his mind.

"What the—?! Hall of Magi actually approved it?! Are they insane?!"

Velen’s face lit up in stunned disbelief.

Then he grinned and said to the system,

"System, since Hall of Magi was so kind as to endorse my tycoon-level shenanigans and let me enter the rankings anyway, shouldn’t I return the favor somehow?"
