Chapter 608: Chapter 602: Still a Tycoon in the Universe


    Anyway, Finn Lewis now felt quite satisfying when he tossed that stack of money overhead. However, when the stack of money was thrown out, he felt something was off, because the atmosphere around suddenly became strange. He even heard someone gasping, it obviously seemed wrong.


    But Finn didn’t think too much about it. After throwing the money, he stood up and walked forward, Dunn Monty and Thomas Calvin quickly followed. Once they were far from the crowd, an uproar came from behind. At this point, Dunn chuckled bitterly and whispered, “Prince, why did you give him so much money?”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “Is it a lot?” Finn’s face turned a bit strange. He had only thrown out 10,000 yuan. Well, although it’s 10,000 star credits, is that a lot?


    “When I used to work at the Internal Affairs, my annual sry was not even a tenth of this.” Dunn gave a wry smile, sounding somewhat helpless.


    Upon hearing Dunn’s words, Finn was taken aback. An annual sry of less than a tenth of what he threw? Finn wouldn’t believe that the prestigious Internal Affairs sry wouldn’t be above 100 yuan a month. But if it really was that little, it meant that Finn had overlooked a crucial matter—the value of currency.


    Just like the difference between West Mountain Kingdom Shield and Federation Currency. “Oh, I actually don’t know much about this. Alright, tell me, is it really valuable?” Finn shrugged and asked.


    “Of course, it’s very valuable. I don’t know how to exin. After we get to the room and have inte, you can check it out for yourself.” Dunn looked somewhat amused but did not know how to exin. What surprised Dunn was wondering where exactly did Finn get all that money from?


    Finn, Dunn, and Thomas Calvin quickly left. A glint shed across Jasmine Davis’s eyes. She did not expect that the kid was so rich. One would think that the royals are truly different. Even if this kid hadn’t inherited his legacy at this point, he was still technically a native from a primitive. So where did all his moneye from?


    It seemed that Dunn and Thomas Calvin had found more than just a lifeline when they ran into this kid. His background didn’t seem simple at all. Jasmine Davis left the ce thoughtfully, letting others deal with the remaining matters. She didn’t have to take care of them, but there was bound to be entertainment along the journey.


    After leaving the hangar, Finn and others were quickly taken to a cabin. The cabin was not luxurious, but it was spacious. Many of the appliances inside were quite old. Finn didn’t expect it to be luxurious anyway. He could tell from the exterior of the spaceship. If the outside looked worn out like this, how could he expect the inside to be luxurious?<div>


    Once they sat down in their rooms, Dunn quickly helped Finn bring up some information about the Gctic Federation on a device simr to aputer. He asked Finn to familiarize himself with it before leaving.


    After Dunn left, Finn immediately began to flip through the information. The first thing he searched for was the star credit he had just thrown out so casually. After he finished reading about the star credits, Finn was rendered speechless. Damn it! No wonder people had those reactions.


    Finn misunderstood one thing, though. His AI, Zero, had once told him that star credits were the currency of the Gctic Federation. That was true, but what Zero forgot to exin was that, although star credits were the currency of the Gctic Federation, they were not the primary currency.


    Put it another way, there were lots of types of currency circting throughout the Gctic Federation. As mentioned earlier, the Gctic Federation was essentially made up of various major families. The official federation had weak control, especially over the territories of the various families.


    The entire Gctic Federation was made up of 465 family territories, and each family had its own separate currency. As Jasmine Davis had previously mentioned, the nine major families of royals upied almost 70 percent of the Gctic Federation’s territory.


    The remaining 20 percent was held by the rest of the royal families. The nobles who were not considered royalty upied only 10 percent of the Gctic Federation’s territories. Even the territory owned by the smallest family wasrger than the sr system.


    After reading this, Finn suddenly found himself speechless. Damn it! How could the gap be so huge? It was exactly as the saying goes ‘Money makes the power.’ Before he traveled here, Finn couldn’t understand how someone could own Earth. But after reading this information, Finn suddenly realized that a was not much in these people’s eyes.


    If the Earth were not located in such a remote and special environment, and had a sufficient poption that could generate enormous wealth after some illicit dealings, no one would have cared about it.


    After reading this, Finn felt kind of dizzy. Damn it! This difference was too great. One could think of the entire Gctic Federation as the United Nations, and the more than 400 families were the constituent nations, while the nine major royal families were the permanent members of the Security Council, that is basically how it stood.


    Although this analogy was not quite right, it did look simr in some aspects. The only difference was that the whole Gctic Federation has a central government. To put it bluntly, all the countries on Earth had formed an Earth Central Government. It was something like that.


    While these minor nations’ currencies naturally circted within their respective star systems, star credits were hard currency throughout the Gctic Federation. Since each family in the federation had its own specialty goods, you would need star credit to buy any specialty products from other families.


    Of course, if the other party was willing, you could also use other currencies. But that would be between the two families. The factor contributing to the high status of star credit was that the Gctic Federation’s government had control of many specialty products. These products could only be bought with star credits. In addition, the gene modification fluid that could prolong human life could only be bought with star credit as well.


    This was not the type of gene modification fluid directly extracted from human beings. The exchange between star credits and currencies of other families was not seamless. It usually required other goods for exchange. In other words, if you wanted to exchange your territory’s currency for star credit, you would first need to exchange your currency with goods. You then sell these goods to the government or rted organizations who would pay you in star credit.
