Bank of The Universe

Chapter 71: Bottomless Pit of Raising a Child

There was this phrase in Li Xiandao’s old home!

Raising a son would cost so much money that his father would become poor!

Li Xiandao didn’t understand what those words meant in the past; how much could a kid even eat?

But now, he realized that he was just too innocent!

Seven’s expression was really ugly, “Can we do a refund?”

Li Xiandao blinked.

“They ate the 400,000 God Source that we had in just one meal. On average, each mini Flame King will eat 40 God Source!” Seven was finding it hard to imagine how much God Source they would have to consume to raise them up.

“As they grow, their appetites will also slowly increase.” Seven said.

Li Xiandao was stunned!

He looked towards these mini Flame Kings, who were all joyous after having their bellies filled; he felt like his head was about to explode.

“How long can a meal last them for?” Li Xiandao asked the key question.

If they ate a meal a day, he wouldn’t even be able to steal enough food for them!

Seven took in a deep breath and said, “2 meals a day!”

Li Xiandao’s heart was dripping blood and he looked towards Seven in disbelief, “They are newborns, so is there a need to eat so well?”

“Can we torture them a little?” Li Xiandao thought of a good idea.

“For example, feeding them one meal a week or one meal a month!”

“If you don’t want an invincible Burning Legion, then we can torture them.” Seven said helplessly.

“An invincible Burning Legion?” Li Xiandao’s eyes lit up and he was really tempted.

With the Bank of the Universe’s systematic approach and with the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository being redeemed soon, their upper limit would be much higher with him than with their unreliable old man.

Just thinking about how they would enter Celestial Realm in a short time and how Li Xiandao would bring them to sweep the Celestial Realm made him really emotional.

“Then, let’s wait for a while. Place the mini Flame Kings in the Time Hall and let me think about how to raise them and keep them alive.” Li Xiandao felt like he was in a really tough situation.

Wasn’t it just raising an army? But the input required was just too huge.

Seven suggested, “Master, Battle Angel Michael and White Emperor Tian Guangming are bringing the Ancient Dragon Tomb back. If the treasures inside are enough, it won’t be a problem to keep the mini Flame Kings alive.

Li Xiandao nodded his head. “I am also waiting for them to come back, otherwise, we really won’t have anything for them for their next meal.”

Li Xiandao didn’t even have a single drop of God Source left!

Much less a full piece of it!

He was unable to activate the Celestial Artifact Heaven Emperor Brush and it just remained silently in the Bank of the Universe.

He didn’t feel it before, but at this moment, he realized exactly how poor he was.

“So, poor people shouldn’t randomly give birth to kids or they won’t be able to keep them alive.” Li Xiandao muttered and felt that the Flame King was scum.

He didn’t consider whether or not he could raise them, just making more and more, creating 10,000 of them at once.

Without Li Xiandao taking over, it would be a miracle if even 1,000 of them could survive.

...

Li Xiandao was waiting for Battle Angel Michael to return.

Archangel Gabriel had helped Li Xiandao deal with the bad debts and returned to Bank of the Universe.

Li Xiandao didn’t say anything, sending him to take care of the mini Flame Kings right away.

When Archangel Gabriel saw so many of them, he was shocked.

There was also Heaven Heart who came back from collecting debts.

He brought back the Hundred Flower Holy Land treasury!

An entire treasury!

Li Xiandao passed it all to Seven and let her feed it to the mini Flame Kings!

Two meals!

One day!

It was all gone!

,000 mini Flame Kings finished the treasury of a Holy Land in just one day.

Their appetites were also increasing at a visible rate!

When Li Xiandao saw such scenes, he was filled with regret!

A while ago, he felt like this deal was a huge win, but now it just felt like a bottomless pit!

There was nothing Li Xiandao could do but send Heaven Heart to collect debts.

There were still a few sects in Dali Land that owed the Bank of the Universe debt, so Li Xiandao had no choice but to send him to get them back.

After filing all the contracts, he found that five were worth collecting.

They were from Ten Thousand Demon Valley! Hundred Flower Holy Land! Mingde College! Diandao Sect! Ten Thousand Buddha Sect!

Out of the five, he had collected the debt from Hundred Flower Holy Land and he was left with four, which Li Xiandao originally didn’t plan on collecting back so quickly.

But he had no choice now.

Just thinking about having 10,000 giants in the future, each wrapped in flames and holding a standardized weapon to kill all enemies blocking his path, Li Xiandao’s nerves tingled in excitement.

Even if the investment was huge, he couldn’t bear to let the mini King of Flames go hungry.

He had no choice. So, Heaven Heart, who just returned, only took one look at the mini Flame Kings before he was sent out by Li Xiandao once more.

He had to get back all the four contracts along with interest.

“I allow you to attack. Whoever dares to stop you and delay time, just kill them!” Li Xiandao said coldly.

Heaven Heart didn’t know where Li Xiandao acquired these 10,000 mini Flame Kings with limitless potential, but since he was under him now, he had no choice but to run the errands.

He was really strong and there was nothing the remaining four sects could do to him.

They couldn’t beat him!

They didn’t have reason on their side!

They had no choice but to compensate!

Each day, Heaven Heart would return with large amounts of God Source, large amounts of treasures, and large amounts of resources.

All of these would enter the stomachs of these mini Flame Kings.

They weren’t picky eaters and as long as the items had energy and could replenish their cores, they would eat it.

The only thing Li Xiandao was happy about was the fact that they weren’t picky!

If they ate so much and were still picky, then Li Xiandao would consider whether or not he would actually raise them.

Li Xiandao, Seven, and Gabriel were busy like that for four days. Even Heaven Heart started to get exhausted.

Heaven Heart went out to collect debts, sending them back and then heading out once more.

Gabriel and Seven were either feeding them or were walking to feed them. They were so busy that they had no time to rest at all.

Li Xiandao looked at the vast amount of resources disappearing right after being acquired; his heart felt so pained that he couldn’t say a single word.

“Michael, come back quickly please.” Li Xiandao started to miss Michael for the first time.

Coincidentally, on the fifth day, Michael returned.

Battle Angel Michael, White Emperor Tian Guangming, Long Xun, and Long Haishou all returned and they said their goodbyes at the northern land.

“These are the treasures from the Ancient Dragon Tomb. I am passing them to you now.” Long Haishou passed the storage treasure to Michael.

Michael nodded his head, “From now on, you have no more business with the Bank of the Universe; you are free.”

Long Haishou exhaled a deep breath and smiled, “Yea, then we will be taking our leave.”

Michael and Tian Guangming looked on as they left.

In the next instant, Li Xiandao’s anxious voice rang out in their ears.

“Come back quickly. It is an emergency! If you don’t come back, someone will die!”

Michael and Tian Guangming’s faces changed. Was the Bank of the Universe under attack?

They didn’t dare to delay and they returned to the bank right away!
