Decipherer

So rich! If he could get the money of the Mebis clan, he could keep the time-stopped space open indefinitely.

"Student Lu, this is your payment," Manager Akel handed Lu Yin a white star card of the Mebis clan. "Inside are 3.2 billion universe coins. You can go to the nearest Mebis Bank to exchange the universe coins for Star Crystals, for convenient transactions and carrying."

"Transactions?" Lu Yin was surprised.

Manager Akel said, "Most transactions in the Innerverse are settled in Star Crystals. The numbers for universe coins are too large and sometimes inconvenient. 3.2 billion universe coins can be exchanged for three thousand two hundred cubic meters of Star Crystals."

Lu Yin nodded, secretly excited. This job was too suitable for him. He decided that whenever he was short of money, he would come here. No, wait, when am I not short of money? After he returned to the Academy and handed in the mission, he'd see if he could come again.

Seeing Lu Yin's somewhat happy expression, Akel was puzzled. They had guessed that this student must have brought his own materials to complete the mission. Although the mission was completed, he must have made a loss on those materials, as their pay was only thirty percent of the materials' value. But why did this student still seem so happy? Was the Academy's mission that important? It shouldn't be; the missions they issued weren't that important.

"Student Lu, do you want to continue dismantling or return to the Academy? If you want to continue, we welcome you, and the pay will be the same," Akel probed.

Lu Yin shook his head. "No need. Let's go, to the space station."

Akel nodded. "Please."

On the way, watching the countless scrap machines fly by on both sides, to Lu Yin, these were all treasures, treasures that could be exchanged for money.

"Manager Akel, if I want to come and dismantle materials, can I do so at any time?" Lu Yin asked.

Akel smiled. "Of course. For an ordinary cultivator, unless they reach the Limiteer Realm, they must pass an assessment. But a student of the Tenth Academy doesn't need to, not to mention you have already proven yourself. As long as you want to come, just let me know in advance. This is my personal contact number."

Lu Yin memorized it and said a word of thanks.

Akel hesitated and probed, "Student Lu seems to have a Reaching Realm cultivation, but your control over Star Energy seems extremely proficient, much faster than an ordinary Limiteer Realm expert."

Lu Yin said casually, "My talent seems to be suitable for dismantling materials."

"Talent?" Akel was surprised, now unsure. Was this person faking it or was it real? If he really had this kind of talent, their Taku Iyo company absolutely could not miss it. There were many strange talents in the universe; it wasn't unheard of for a talent suitable for being a Decipherer to appear. "Student Lu, does your talent belong to the strange talent category?"

Lu Yin looked at Manager Akel.

Manager Akel quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, student Lu. I shouldn't have asked."

Lu Yin turned his head away. "Let's just say it is."

Akel said with envy, "It seems you have the potential to become a Decipherer."

A Decipherer? Lu Yin's heart stirred. He had forgotten to look it up. "Has Manager Akel met a Decipherer before?"

Akel smiled bitterly. "Please don't joke with me. How could a small person like me see a great Decipherer? Even our company's general manager might not be able to. Those are the top figures in the universe."

Lu Yin nodded without saying anything, looked at his personal communicator, did a search, and some introductions to Decipherers appeared.

The so-called Decipherer was a respectful title for a group of people who possessed the ability to perfectly peel away Star Energy.

The universe had developed for countless years and experienced several collapses, leaving behind countless things. Many things, having gone through ancient times, were covered by layers of various cosmic energies, forming a shell-like protective layer, equivalent to being covered in dust. Forcibly opening them would easily destroy the contents inside. Moreover, due to the many magical phenomena in the universe, some protective layers were also dangerous. Therefore, one had to slowly peel away the Star Energy within the protective layer to take out the contents intact.

Decipherers were the people who peeled away Star Energy; that was their job.

Anything that could form a protective layer was not simple; otherwise, it would not be able to absorb the universe's Star Energy. These were equivalent to dust-covered treasures that needed to be opened, which required a Decipherer.

However, the requirements to become a Decipherer were too harsh, beyond the imagination of mortals. This also led to the unimaginably high status of Decipherers.

It was rumored that many of the most powerful combat techniques, cultivation arts, and even the scientific and technological achievements left over from the Ancient Era in the universe were all peeled out by Decipherers. The more this rumor spread, the higher the status of Decipherers became.

Lu Yin was shocked. He hadn't expected such a group of people to exist in the universe. Decipherers, who could perfectly peel away Star Energy.

"Student Lu, we've arrived at the space station," Akel said.

Lu Yin got off the flyer and said to Akel, "Thank you for your hospitality, Manager Akel. I'm leaving now."

"We should be the ones thanking you for your help, student Lu. Please, I wish you a smooth journey."

"Please."

With that, Lu Yin quickly entered his spaceship, searched for the nearest Mebis Bank, and set a course.

Before long, the spaceship entered the universe and disappeared from the sight of Akel and the others.

One mission had earned Lu Yin over three thousand Star Crystals, more than the total profit he had made in the Great Yu Empire. As expected of a large company that could issue missions to the Tenth Academy. With the Great Yu Empire's capabilities, they couldn't even issue missions to the Tenth Academy. This Taku Iyo company seemed to be a subsidiary of some large corporation in the Innerverse. Being able to issue missions to the Tenth Academy was probably related to that large corporation.

The nearest Mebis Bank was a day's journey away. Lu Yin just reviewed the information about Decipherers in his spaceship. Before he knew it, the spaceship had landed at the space station.

Docking a spaceship at the space stations of major planets required a fee, and it wasn't cheap. But for the current Lu Yin, he didn't care about this small amount of money.

The planet he landed on was very large, with an architectural style similar to the Great Yu Empire's Planet Zhenwu, also within the Canglan territory.

Lu Yin went directly to the Mebis Bank and exchanged all the universe coins Akel had given him for Star Crystals, about 3,270 cubic meters. Adding his original remaining twenty-eight cubic meters, it meant that at this moment, he had about 3,298 cubic meters of Star Crystals on him, an absolute fortune.

As for universe coins, he still had 2 million left, which he had gotten in the Great Yu Empire.

Originally, 2 million universe coins didn't seem like a small amount, but compared to this mission, it was too stingy. Lu Yin checked the price of the most common spaceship; it started at at least 10 billion. Only then did he realize how stingy Undying Yushan was, giving him only 300,000 universe coins. Too stingy.

But it seemed easy to make money, but that was just him. Akel had said that even a Limiteer Realm expert with very good control over Star Energy might not be able to earn as much as him in two months. And such Limiteer Realm experts were even rarer and needed to pass an assessment. Lu Yin guessed that the level of Star Energy control of such a Limiteer Realm expert was at least at the materialization level, perhaps even the realm of myriad changes. How many such people were there? Making money was not that easy; he was just cheating.

Leaving the Mebis Bank, he looked up at the universe coins hanging from the tree branches and once again marveled at Mebis's wealth. Just as Lu Yin was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. He took out the black star card from his spatial ring. He had gotten this card by rolling a one on the die, and it had the two characters 'Yao Gu' on it. He had originally guessed it must have been verified and couldn't be used to withdraw money, but since he was already at a Mebis Bank, he might as well try.

With this thought, Lu Yin returned to the bank and tentatively tried to withdraw the money from the star card. To his surprise, it worked.

His eyes were full of excitement. It worked! It wasn't verified? How was that possible? He was too lucky.

He hurriedly checked the balance: "Twelve thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals." Lu Yin was overjoyed. So much? Four times his current net worth... This kind of black star card directly used Star Crystals as the unit, not universe coins? Well, he wouldn't overthink it. Twelve thousand cubic meters, this was great.

Lu Yin directly withdrew all the crystals, only to find that his spatial ring was not big enough. He generously bought a super-large space spatial ring, which cost him a full thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals. It didn't matter; it was worth it. The space of this spatial ring was enough to store more than ten thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals.

With an extremely excited and thrilled heart, Lu Yin left the Mebis Bank.

At this moment, he was still a little uneasy. After all, he was carrying a huge fortune, over fifteen thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals, enough to make others greedy. He looked at everyone as if they were robbers.

Without further delay, he went directly to the space station, boarded his personal spaceship, and left this planet, heading for the coordinates of the Tenth Academy.

Two days later, Lu Yin was very close to the Tenth Academy. And in a distant, unfamiliar starry sky, a huge meteor had shattered a star and continued to fly into the distance. And on the meteor, a pair of eyes opened, indescribable eyes. They were like black holes that could devour everything around them.

"There's news. Send someone to the Canglan territory in the human domain's Outerverse to find him. Find me the person who dared to steal my things. I want him to know what a tragic price one must pay for stealing the things of me, Yao Gu."

"Yes, Young Master."
