Black Dragon City is essentially a massive black mountain that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, reaching up into the clouds. The mountain is intricately carved to resemble a coiled black dragon, with even the scales looking remarkably lifelike. From a distance, it appears as though a living black dragon is resting there.

Countless buildings are arranged along Heilong Mountain, with the higher elevations signifying higher status. The middle of the mountain is the most prosperous area.

Wang Yi, Hong, Thor, and their ten bodyguards descended to the wide city entrance at the foot of Heilongshan City. As they observed the endless flow of people, they used their auxiliary light brains to assess the strength of those around them.

"Ninth-level Stellar level... First-level Stellar level... Third-level universe... Third-level Stellar level... Fifth-level Planetary... Fifth-level universe level..."

Compared to other planets, the number and prevalence of powerful beings in the capital were undoubtedly much higher. It wasn't uncommon to occasionally spot even domain masters.

Here, noble families from across the Black Dragon Mountain Empire gathered, and this city served as the heart of the empire. Many aspired to become residents of Black Dragon Mountain's Imperial Capital, where owning a piece of real estate was highly coveted.

During their travels, Wang Yi and his companions had experienced many places, but they were still impressed by the sheer prosperity of the Imperial Capital.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

"That person is riding a cosmic monster," someone exclaimed.

In the distance, on the main street, a massive, colorful creature resembling a dinosaur walked calmly. It had an elegant seat on its back, where a man in a regal Black Dragon Mountain-style robe sat composedly.

Despite the creature's size, the spacious streets in this area accommodated it easily.

"A Universe level monster as a mount," Hong remarked after scanning it with his auxiliary optical brain. He gasped in astonishment.

On Earth, the wealthy would sometimes raise small monsters for status, but these creatures paled in comparison to the Universe level monsters now before them—like comparing distant galaxies.

This was an eye-opening experience for them.

"Let's head to the Universe Galaxy Bank," Wang Yi reminded them, not forgetting their true purpose.

The group of thirteen made their way to the branch of the Universe Galaxy Bank in Heilongshan. Located halfway up the mountainside of the capital city, it was an awe-inspiring and beautiful structure that seemed to captivate the soul.

The high-rise building housing the 'Universe Galaxy Bank' had an impressive 3D effect that mimicked a starry sky and flowing river. Looking at it felt like gazing into the cosmos.

Wang Yi and his companions were no strangers here. They passed through the grand entrance, which seemed like a sheet of flowing water, but was actually a light and shadow effect. Inside, the space was immense.

"Ordinary customers handle their transactions on the first floor, while star-rated customers are served upstairs," Wang Yi said with a smile.

He himself was a star customer, although only a one-star client.

But Wang Yi hadn't forgotten his daily sign-in.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You have been rewarded with a two-star account at the Universe Galaxy Bank.]

[Your account has been upgraded from a one-star to a two-star status.]

[Number of available check-ins at this location: 0]

"Huh?" Wang Yi was pleasantly surprised.

He had signed in at other Universe Galaxy Bank branches on various planets before, but those sign-ins usually rewarded him with monetary gains. More unique rewards like this were quite rare.

Wang Yi knew that to qualify as a two-star customer at the Universe Galaxy Bank, one's assets had to reach 10 billion Universe Coins! That equated to 33 trillion Dry Witch Coins!

To become a three-star customer, one needed assets of 10 trillion Universe Coins, equivalent to 10 mixed yuan units!

"Interesting," Wang Yi mused with a smile.

Though the sign-in panel had upgraded his customer status, it didn't grant him the funds directly, so his account balance remained unchanged. However, his upgraded star rating would make things more convenient for his upcoming transactions.

In the bank lobby, those waiting to conduct their business looked on enviously as Wang Yi and his group headed upstairs. While wealth was more common in the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Capital, few could become star customers.

After all, even to be a regular customer at one of the two major banks required at least 100 million Black Dragon Coins. Becoming a one-star customer meant possessing assets worth 1 trillion Black Dragon Coins!

"You all sit here for a bit. I'll be back shortly," Wang Yi said with a smile to Hong and the others.

They didn't mind, finding a place to sit in the lobby while Wang Yi headed straight to the elevator. "I'm going to the 20th floor to handle some intelligent system agency business."

As a prestigious star customer, Wang Yi had access to more exclusive services.

For instance, the intelligent system business allowed customers to maintain discretion for confidential transactions. By working directly with the bank's advanced AI system, customers ensured that their business remained private, with even the bank's employees having no authority to view those operations.

As customers' star ratings increased, such as at the four-star or five-star levels, not even the branch manager at the Universe Galaxy Bank would have access to their transaction details.

Being one of the largest and oldest banks in the universe, with a reputation spanning across human territories, the Universe Galaxy Bank placed its customers' privacy as a top priority. Their long-standing trustworthiness made them highly respected.

This time, Wang Yi's transaction was somewhat unusual, so he chose to use the bank's AI system for added discretion.

The elevator ascended to the 20th floor and stopped. Outside was a bright, silver-white corridor with rooms on either side. Wang Yi stepped out.

"Dear customer, your artificial intelligence service room is xh12. Universe Galaxy Bank is at your service," a soft, feminine voice announced in his ear.

Wang Yi followed the illuminated green arrow on the floor, guiding him down the corridor until he arrived at room xh12.

With a crisp "ding," the silver-white alloy door slid open.

Inside stood a beautiful girl with long green hair, wearing a dress. At first glance, she seemed human, but Wang Yi immediately recognized her as a robot, her exterior covered with a layer of synthetic skin to enhance her realism.

"Welcome, esteemed customer. I am receptionist xhhls12. How may I assist you?" she asked in a sweet, respectful tone.

"I'd like to handle a consignment," Wang Yi said directly.

"What item would you like to consign? Our bank has strict requirements for consignments, and if the item doesn't meet the criteria, we cannot process it," she responded, maintaining her polite demeanor.

"It's a transaction worth about one million Universe Coins," Wang Yi said.

The robot seemed to momentarily glitch before her eyes flashed, processing the information. After a brief pause, she smiled once more.

"Hello, honored guest. Universe Galaxy Bank, service xhhls00, is here to assist you."
