Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1403

Sylas' trench coat billowed in the winds as he reached down, pulling the door of a garage up and over his head before letting it fall behind him.

He could hardly see much outside of sparks of red and orange, a scent almost like sulfur but not quite hanging in the air. It seemed that the old man was still putting the finishing touches on the ship.

"When will it finish?" Sylas asked.

The sparks flew once more, and then stopped.

"Now," Old Brama's voice echoed.

Sylas nodded, looking at the ship before him.

They had made quite a bit of money, but it could be said that almost half of it was dumped into this ship.

If there was one thing Sylas learned after taking a full three months just to get from one location to the next in a single galaxy, it was that transportation was maybe the very first thing he should invest in.

But there were simply no ships that met all of his requirements. So, since he was rich and had a mechanical fanatic like Old Brama on his side, he bought five of the best C-Grade ships on the market and had Brama work his magic to splice them together.

If you could believe it, though, this wasn't where half of the wealth he accumulated went. In fact, he had made so much money that even buying five top-of-the-line C-Grade spacecrafts had only taken about 20% of the wealth.

The other 30% was spent buying all of the star maps and hyper highway access passes for not just this Sector, but all three adjacent Sectors as well.

Very few would be likely to invest this much in travel, especially since Sylas was buying for speed and not luxury—though luckily, these two things came hand in hand.

The hyper highways were often built and maintained by powers, and they obviously wanted payment for it. But worse than that, they were extremely cautious with who they gave even information about exactly where they were to.

If you wanted to buy this sort of information, it took a lot.

As for the star maps, one only needed to look at Earth to know why they were so valuable.

Every stretch of occupied land in the universe only existed because at some point, someone had survived a Summoning and cleared out all the Demons and Dungeons that came with it. Otherwise, these regions would be suffering Dungeon breaks and Demon attacks day in and day out.

Obviously, during these dangerous times, the world was slowly mapped out.

Some of the most profitable business models in the entire universe were transportation companies that only specialized in taking people from point A to point B. And obviously, with his wealth, Sylas could use these to travel.

In fact, even if he traveled in first-class luxury for decades, he would likely not dent his wealth as much as he had in this single sitting.

But… those methods of travel required wait times, they had ticket sales and paper trails, and they had people who could be a great threat to him.

By dumping his wealth into this investment, Sylas bet that he would make back ten times this much just in exchange for time saved.

That, and he could easily start a transportation company of his own if he really felt like it. But instead, he just gave this information to the Golden Grove so they could do as they pleased with it.

He had already begun this project before knowing that the Sanctum would take this route to train disciples. But now it was an even better investment than he had originally thought.
