Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 252 - 249-Brother Centipede, I’ve Lost His Favor!

Fortress.

Velen stood in the courtyard, smiling brightly at the people squatting all around him. They looked miserable, but he was clearly in a good mood.

"Everyone, remember—hold out for just one full day and one full night. It'll be worth it, I promise!"

"Once you've made it through, you'll thank me from the bottom of your hearts."

"Alright, back to your rooms! This is the true test of your willpower!"

As he dismissed the crowd, Velen waved his hand with a warm smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

People exchanged glances—then, as if fleeing from a plague, everyone turned and blasted off in different directions, retreating to their respective quarters as fast as they could.

There was no way they'd step out during the next 24 hours.

It was too humiliating!

They were determined: for the next day and night, not even a toe would leave their room.

Velen chuckled… until he noticed one person was still standing behind.

"Hm?"

"Justin, why are you still here?" Velen asked curiously.

Justin scratched the back of his head, smiling a little sheepishly.

"Lord Velen, do you have any more Endurance Potion?"

"I'd like to bring a few bottles to my mentor. I'm sure he'd love them."

He spoke with such sincerity that it could've moved mountains.

Velen suddenly remembered—Justin's mentor, Mark, was quite the notorious playboy. The man had nearly gotten himself killed recently over some seductive she-devil.

"Alright, alright," Velen nodded. "Out of respect for your filial piety, I'll give you four bottles."

"But," he added with a chuckle, "just so you know, this potion doesn't actually require restraint. It's just that I personally asked everyone to endure for a day and a night—for the sake of an extra challenge."

"If you give this to your mentor, you don't have to tell him to hold back. The enhancement will work either way."

What?!

Justin froze, then suddenly clapped his hands over his ears.

"Lord Velen, I didn't hear anything! Not a word!"

Velen blinked in surprise.

Wait a second…

This little rascal wasn't being filial—he was clearly planning to mess with his mentor!

As expected… teenagers are the most dangerous species on earth. Especially to their mentors!

Velen found himself silently mourning for poor Mark.

The poor man probably had no idea what kind of mentee he'd raised.

"Lord Velen," Justin continued, now with a serious face, "if he drinks one bottle now, and I give him another bottle every day and a night afterward… will the enhancement keep stacking?"

Velen: "…"

What the hell?!

He was stunned by Justin's diabolical idea.

Four days and nights of nonstop torment?!

What kind of grudge do you have against your mentor?!

"You monster," Velen muttered, and then handed him ten bottles of Endurance Potion without hesitation.

He also summoned two Spatial Portals and handed them over.

"Take these. Use them to go find your mentor. And remember…"

He paused dramatically, emphasizing every word.

"Come back alive."

If Mark ever found out he was tricked by his own mentee into suffering four straight days of torture, he'd definitely beat Justin within an inch of his life.

Such moving teacher-student bonds.

Watching Justin disappear through the portal, Velen sighed dramatically.

Thank goodness I don't have a mentee like that.

Ding! Task complete. You have earned 1,000 luxury points. Reward: 100x Invincible Upgrade Potions!

Invincible Upgrade Potion: Grants ten times the power and absorption speed of a regular Upgrade Potion.

Velen's eyes widened.

These potions could catapult people's strength at terrifying speed!

"System," he asked excitedly, "can I get more of these Invincible Potions through the Upgrade Potion roulette wheel?"

Ding! Reminder: This item is not obtainable via roulette. It can only be earned through acts of extravagance, daily tasks, or special missions.

Stop daydreaming. Do your tasks properly.

So that was it.

The system was baiting him into continuing to waste resources extravagantly in exchange for these broken-tier rewards.

There was no shortcut.

But then…

Ding! Welfare Mission Available: Travel to the Noyer Kingdom and target its Four Knight Commanders.

Each successful "extravagant waste" will reward 100 Invincible Upgrade Potions.

This mission may be canceled at any time and may be refused.

"Noyer Kingdom?"

"A new territory to unlock?"

Velen's eyes lit up with anticipation.

More luxury points, more potions? This mission is a must!

But he had to do some homework first.

The Uno Kingdom folks probably know the situation over there, right?

Rather than going to ask directly…

Velen strolled toward the Luxury Rabbit's Mansion.

Luxury Rabbit Burrow

"Master, you called for me?"

The rabbit poked its head out of its cozy, velvet-lined nest, blinking cutely.

Velen casually handed over a spatial ring packed with 100 Invincible Upgrade Potions.

"These are Invincible Upgrade Potions. They're ten times stronger and faster than the regular ones. Drink up."

W-what?!

My master still remembers me?!

The rabbit's eyes grew misty.

It knew that the others in the fortress had only received standard Upgrade Potions, while it—having just finished absorbing an ancient inheritance from the Singularity Battlefield—was now being gifted the most powerful version available.

How could it not be moved?

"Master, I've wandered half my life. Never met a true leader until now. If you would have me, I, the humble rabbit, would gladly—"

"Just deliver those to your mentor and say I went off for training."

Before the rabbit could finish its pledge of loyalty, Velen vanished through a portal.

The rabbit stared blankly at the empty courtyard.

Rabbit: "???"

It looked down at the space ring in its paws, then up at the sky with tears welling up.

And screamed into its den:

"BROTHER CENTIPEDE! IT'S OVER! I'VE LOST HIS FAVOR!"

Uno Kingdom – Arthur's Manor

Arthur opened his eyes groggily… and almost screamed.

Velen was standing beside his bed. Grinning. Silently.

"WHAT THE—?!"

"Lord Velen! When did you get here?!"

Arthur practically leapt from the bed, wrapping himself tightly in his blanket.

His voice trembled with disbelief.

Who the hell appears next to someone's bed without a word like this?!

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you wake me up or say something?!"

"You looked so peaceful. I couldn't bear to disturb your sleep."

Arthur's face twitched.

Great. A courteous executioner.

"Commander Arthur, no need to get up," Velen said kindly. "I just came to ask you something."

"About… the Noyer Kingdom."

Noyer Kingdom?!

Arthur's heart skipped a beat. A dark premonition loomed overhead.

"They're our ally," he answered slowly. "We have good diplomatic relations. What… what do you need to know?"

"So they're an ally?" Velen's eyes gleamed.

"Nothing too serious. I just want to get to know the Four Knight Commanders of Noyer Kingdom."

Arthur's face turned pale.

It's over. It's all over.

He suddenly realized Velen must've already done background checks.

The fact that he knew there were four commanders meant the plan was already underway.

He had just watched Velen singlehandedly bring Uno Kingdom's leadership to its knees.

Now…

Now their ally was next.

Arthur bowed his head in sorrow for his counterparts in Noyer.

"Lord Velen, if you'd like to meet them, I could accompany you?" he offered hesitantly.

"They don't know you, and I'd hate for there to be any… misunderstandings."

He had to go. He needed to warn the Four Commanders before it was too late.

"Very well. I'll trouble you, then."

Velen smiled and handed Arthur a Spatial Portal scroll and a Level 9 flying mount charm.
