David nimbly walked through the busy streets of Deadwood city trying to find something to eat. Obviously he was hungry, he hadn't eaten anything since morning.

Luckily he didn't have to walk for long as he managed to find a good restaurant nearby.

Without hesitating David entered inside with the intention to splurge his newly acquired wealth.

To begin with that was what seed capital was used for anyways.

Men and women elegantly dressed were silently talking to each other. Food didn't seem to be their priority; their main focus was mainly on socializing.

From time to time the eyes of everyone would land on a youth dressed gracefully in white robe with the symbol of black skull engraved on his back.

"Look, I didn't lie right even the students of Deadwood academy frequented this place."

A man said to a pretty girl beside him in a hushed tone, appearing slightly proud of his choice.

However, the girl didn't seem to care about the guy's words as her eyes were fixed on the student from Deadwood Academy.

It wasn't really hard to tell what was going on in the pretty girl's mind.

Sitting alone the youth didn't seem to mind their reaction.

Contrary to the attention received by the white robed youth not a single being except a waiter paid attention to David's entrance.

"Sir, welcome to the Flower Merchant Eatery." The waiter dressed in black long coat bowed respectfully towards David and made an inviting gesture.

David acknowledged him with a nod and followed his direction.

Coincidentally, the waiter led him to a table not too far away from the youth dressed in white robe.

Of course David wasn't a country bumpkin, he was able to recognise the symbol on youth back. As the most prestigious academy in Deadwood city it would be surprising if he didn't.

It was the dream of every single youth in the Deadwood city to join Deadwood Academy after their awakening.

But David's experience with this academy was terrible.

He wasn't even qualified to fill the entrance form as he didn't even know what his Crystallisation of life was capable of.

David shrugged his shoulders and ordered something that sounded aesthetic from the menu provided by the waiter.

While waiting for his food to arrive David decided to check the status of white robed youth.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

[Request for status report.]

[Target- Carl Weiss]

[Cost-3000 spirit stones]

[Yes/No]

"3000 spirit stones."

David eyebrows scrunched up together at such a high number. It was costing him three percent of his entire capital.

David hesitated for a second but then went ahead.

It was necessary for referencing.

Accepting his confirmation, the window disappeared and a new window popped in front of him, invisible to the people surrounding him.

[Name- Carl Weiss

Age- 21

Potential- G grade

Cultivation- Body Refining Rank 3

Crystallisation of Life- Sonic Embargo.

Investment Grade- Junk

Remark- born with a golden spoon in his mouth this man still wasn't able to take advantage of his headstart, spent his life in debauchery. If you want to become a millionaire fast just invest a billion in this young man and you will be only left with a million in no time]

David was left speechless, especially at the remark.

Other than that, he also noticed a couple of extra things that weren't on his status Report, were present on the status screen of this Carl Weiss like Potential and investment grade.

While David was going through the report his food arrived.

David closed the window and focused on his food as Carl Weiss wasn't worth his attention anymore.

After ten minutes, David was done eating and promptly left after settling the bill.

David walked with a serious face while thinking about a major problem that he was facing.

Carl Weiss might be good for nothing but he was at the Body Refining Rank 3 and on the other hand he hadn't even begun cultivating.

David was way behind his peers.

If he didn't begin cultivating fast, the gap between them would continue to rise until it became insurmountable.

He needed to find a cultivation technique fast.

But finding a cultivation technique was easier said than done.

Cultivation technique were strictly regulated by authorities and the only way to get them was to join an academy after awakening.

But he couldn't join academies anymore as he was well past the age limit.

After walking for some time, David was back at his bank and decided to explore the remaining floors.

The problem of cultivation technique couldn't be easily solved so it was better to not waste time in thinking about it.

Walking inside, the Origin Guard was still at his original position, vigilantly surveying his surroundings.

While surveying the interior of the first floor David couldn't help but think that this place looked more like a cathedral than a bank.

But whatever, it wasn't like he paid for it so he couldn't complain.

David surveyed the entire building in fifteen minutes. The interior of all three floors was the same except for some minor changes.

The second floor was mainly dedicated to meetings and gatherings of the bank and while the third floor was the place for him to stay and any other employees that the bank might have in future.

Now that David thought about it, there weren't any arrangements for customers to sit on the first floor and for other amenities.

But that wasn't really a serious problem as he could easily solve it with the help of Shop.

David decided to purchase some wooden furniture that looked graceful and classy.

David bought two pairs of chairs and a table made out of white rosewood, costing him roughly 500 spirit stones a pair.

As soon as David clicked on the buy button, his goods arrived in front of him out of nowhere.

Surprised for a moment, David inspected them to check their quality.

Just as his landed on the chair and he tried to lift the chair David expresion changed.

The chair refused to budge, David felt ashamed that he wasn't able to move the chair even a little bit.

Moreover David also felt the gaze of the origin guard in his direction.

He didn't want loose face in front of the guard.

His face turned red and veins started to be visible on his arms due to the extreme pressure.
