Inside the Tavern

"Cheers!"

The tavern lights flickered, the crisp sound of clinking glasses mixed with the aroma of alcohol spreading around. Qin Tian, Xiong, Poisonous Widow, and Allen sat around a table, each with a relaxed smile on their face.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Brother Qin Tian!"

Allen's hand holding the glass trembled slightly, spilling a few drops on the tablecloth.

Only now did he realize that Brother Qin Tian had just broken through to Tier Five, and upon learning this, he was even more astonished that Brother Qin Tian could kill Tier Five experts with a single strike while in Tier Four and had displayed incredible abilities. Now at Tier Five, his combat power must be even more terrifying.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Tian." Vivian raised her glass, her smile radiant, "Not only congratulations but thanks for saving my life."

If it weren't for Qin Tian, Allen would have fallen into the Black Cloud Commerce Association's ambush, and she and Luo Xiu would have been silenced by Xia Shangji for not revealing the location of the Spiritual Spring.

Qin Tian is the savior of their entire team.

Luo Xiu's fingers tightened around his glass, and those sharp, sword-like eyes rarely softened with warmth: "Thank you."

He was not good with words, but he engraved this sentiment in his heart—Qin Tian not only saved them but also shared the Spiritual Spring with everyone. This generosity is more admirable than strength.

Qin Tian smiled as he clinked glasses with everyone and drank the wine with a tilt of his head.

He had a very good impression of Allen and the others.

Allen was kind and sunny, open with his companions, and a genuine lucky charm; his adventures sounded like the goddess of luck feeding him.

Luo Xiu was silent and taciturn; his nature, like his sword intent, was sharp, cold, and pure. As a fellow swordsman, Qin Tian greatly appreciated Luo Xiu.

Vivian was lively yet meticulous, the manager of the team. Without her, Allen and Luo Xiu would turn into cosmic wanderers before long.

"Allen, what are your plans next?" Qin Tian asked.

"To the Path of Dawn!" Allen's eyes instantly lit up, full of longing in his voice, "I want to become a great adventurer like Columbus and Magellan, to light up new landmarks on the starmap, hopefully a planet that can bear my name!"

During this process, he might encounter various unknown and complex difficulties but will also gain precious experiences and wealth, and make many like-minded friends.

Adventuring through the Star Sea with companions is the life he most looks forward to.

Qin Tian tapped his fingers on the table: "The Path of Dawn is indeed worth exploring, but are you prepared?"

Interstellar adventures seem romantic, but in reality, money flows like water.

A decent spaceship, maintenance costs, professional equipment... all of it requires money.

Without the money, it's not an adventure, it's wandering.

And Allen and his team even planned to sell the location of the Spiritual Spring to the Black Cloud Commerce Association for money, clearly short of funds.

Upon hearing this, Allen and Vivian both drooped, and Luo Xiu's hand holding the glass paused.

Indeed, they were too poor.

Most of Allen's adventures were transformed into cultivation, barely anything that could be materialized; selling the Spiritual Spring location was to scrape together funds for a basic ship.

Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Qin Tian smiled: "Alright, how about I sponsor you with a portion?"

Hearing this, Vivian's eyes lit up.

"Really, Brother Qin Tian, you're willing to sponsor us?"

"Yes." Qin Tian nodded, "Back at the Mining Beast's lair, without Allen luring it away, I wouldn't have smoothly collected the Crystal Stone. In terms of emotion and logic, I should express a bit."

He paused, casually saying, "I'll start with 2 billion."

Two...two billion?

"Two...two billion?" Vivian almost dropped the glass from her hand, and Luo Xiu's Adam's apple bobbed forcefully.

Allen's eyes widened, doubting what he heard: "Brother Qin Tian, how much did you say?"

"2 billion." Qin Tian repeated, "I'll add more if needed."

"That's enough, that's enough! This is too much!" Allen quickly waved his hand, feeling undeserving even for 20 million, and 2 billion felt like a mountain crushing him.

"2 billion is not much, compared to the value of those Energy Crystal Stones, I'm still getting a bargain." Qin Tian laughed.

"That's different."

Allen knew well, even if he hadn't lured away the Mining Beast, with Brother Qin Tian's various miraculous abilities, he would sooner or later collect the Energy Crystal Stones. Moreover, without Brother Qin Tian, their team would have been wiped out by Xia Shangji long ago; they wouldn't be sitting here drinking.

"Alright, no need to refuse, this amount is nothing to me."

Qin Tian laughed: "To be honest, I have a company under me, the annual profit is not that high, but there are hundreds of billions."

Hundreds of billions...

"Hundreds of billions!" Allen's eyes almost popped out, Vivian's mouth formed an "O", and even Luo Xiu looked up sharply, eyes full of shock.

Annual profits of hundreds of billions, Brother Qin Tian's wealth is even more terrifying than the Black Cloud Commerce Association.

At this point, the Poisonous Widow also looked at Qin Tian incredulously; she knew his role as a colonel in the Military Department but didn't realize he was a billionaire-level super-rich.

Can a military man be this wealthy?

No, this must be assets distributed to him by his family.

Indeed, children from wealthy families are different!

The Poisonous Widow was convinced that Qin Tian must come from a mysterious bloodline family, otherwise he couldn't possess various seemingly unrelated magical abilities, let alone that terrifying companion Spirit Plant.

And the company further deepened her belief.

"But..." Allen wanted to decline further, but Vivian pressed his hand down, smiling like a fox that stole candy: "Brother Qin Tian, then we won't feel shy! If we find any business opportunities on the Path of Dawn, we'll definitely notify you first!"
