Chapter 147 The New Clan Chief
Pero said, "I will convene a meeting of the family elders in the next few days to announce this matter. Before that, I will hand over what needs to be handed over to you."
"What do they have?" Gao Sheng asked curiously.
"Being the clan leader is a power, but also a responsibility. The most important thing is the clan's approval. There's not much to actually hand over," Pero said. "It can all be done in the virtual universe. Come with me."
Gao Sheng followed Pero to the virtual universe administrative center of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on Black Dragon Mountain Island and quickly completed the handover.
The main changes involved the transfer of control over several family companies, virtual universe properties, family websites, and the highest level of access to intelligent systems on some important planets. Pero also directly transferred all of these.
Upon returning to the family estate, Perot invited Gao Sheng to sit in the main seat.
"The last item is the family fund." Perot opened the Cosmic Galaxy Bank website and logged into his account.
"This is the ancestor's account number. The family's most important wealth is all here. Now, it's considered the family's foundation account."
Gao Sheng looked over.
"143 Mixed Elemental Units! That many?"
"A lot? Actually, not much. The Ancestor was a member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and lived for over nine million years. Especially in the last few hundred thousand years, he did many dangerous missions. His wealth is far beyond that of an ordinary Realm Lord," Pero sighed. "This is just the money the Ancestor left behind. His more important personal treasures all went with him."
"I haven't touched any of this money. Now, the family's wealth, except for the mercenary achievements, is all yours."
Currently, only a large amount of mercenary merit belonging to the family remains under Pero's name. After all, Pero is a two-star mercenary, and merits can be transferred to one-star mercenaries.
Gao Sheng said, "Clan leader..."
"No, you are the clan leader, I am just the elder now, just call me Pero," Pero said immediately.
Gao Sheng said helplessly, "Elder Chief, why not use this money for investment and development?"
"As I said, money alone isn't enough for development; strength is required. The Wei Di family's current power has almost reached the ceiling of the Realm Lord level. This money can be used to improve ourselves, but I'm not qualified to use it for investment. However, I don't lack resources right now; I can't even use up the merits transferred from my ancestor." Pero said solemnly, "Of course, things are different now; it can be used entirely for development."
"How to use it is none of the clan leader's concern. Actually, I don't know either. The clan has its own business talents. You just need to make the final decision," Pero said. "Clan leader, your father was a business genius. He managed the clan's energy business for just over ten years and it developed very quickly."
An old fat man? A business genius?
I do believe that he'll be promoted.
Gao Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Clan... Elder Clan Chief, I intend to use this money myself. The investment in the family business can be postponed."
Pero didn't question it at all and immediately said, "Of course, it's up to the clan leader to decide. Talo and I have limited potential. If you improve your strength, the clan will improve its strength."
……
Inside the spaceship in the dark universe, Gao Sheng pondered silently.
"Adding these 143 Mixed Yuan Units, there are now a total of 168 Mixed Yuan Units..."
"We're still missing half. Where do we find it?"
That's right! Gao Sheng flipped his hand and took out an arm guard, which was the detector he had obtained from Nara Ci.
"I probably won't take any more risks anytime soon. By the time I need it again, I'll have enough points to sell it!"
Gao Sheng immediately logged into the virtual universe network.
"All five major factions have dedicated departments for purchasing goods, and they can pick up the goods from your door."
He browsed through the website.
"You can also sell directly through the two major banks or use their consignment services. The privileges of a core member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance are equivalent to those of a four-star customer..."
"There are also some large companies in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, with many businesses that I had never paid attention to before..."
"With higher access levels, I can buy a lot of restricted items..."
"And various metal debris, biological materials, biological remains, and even Zerg corpses?" Gao Sheng's eyes lit up.
If we buy some of these, the Brahma Flower can reach the ninth level of the Domain Lord much faster, and it's cheaper than simply using cultivation resources.
After becoming a core member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, Gao Sheng's virtual universe privileges were already quite high.
Gao Sheng's eyes lit up as he looked at each item.
Unfortunately, I don't have the money!
Finally, Gao Sheng retrieved the star map and consigned the goods to a commercial planet closest to the flight path.
……
Two days later, all the elders and guest elders of the Weidi family gathered at the family manor in the virtual universe.
Gao Sheng and Pero stood at the entrance of the manor, watching the cosmic-level elders appear one by one.
"Clan leader, you've been promoted to elder!"
"Chieftain!"
They greeted them one by one, and Perot and Gao Sheng responded without correcting their forms of address.
Two elders also appeared. Talo Gaosheng was very familiar with one of them, but he had only met the other, Domain Lord Kolke, a few times.
Galdo and Dixi also arrived, and they were very happy to see Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng knew most of them, but only a few were guest elders who had joined the Wei Di family in recent years.
A handsome man with pointed ears, reddish eyes, and a striking appearance caught Gao Sheng's attention.
"Are you Yu Ke?"
"Elder Gaosheng, greetings." Yu Ke bowed respectfully.
"Oh? Not bad, you're very smart. Go in." Gao Sheng said with a smile.
The timeline is indeed different now. Yu Ke has become a member of the Wei Di family, and Bai Ka Luo hasn't become a soul slave. Who knows how far he will go in the future? If he were given another chance, would he rather die than become a soul slave? Even if he becomes a world lord, or even an immortal later, a slave is still a slave, just a biological machine, and can't be considered an independent life at all.
Yu Ke was quite clever; he assessed the situation and made the wisest decision in a very short time.
If it had been a few years later, and Gao Sheng had become the clan leader, he definitely wouldn't have allowed him to join.
Gao Sheng shook his head and smiled.
In a short while, all 175 cosmic-level and domain lord-level beings had arrived, and the conference hall on the second floor of the manor was bustling with noise.
The convening of the elders' meeting must be for something important, and everyone is speculating.
Perrault and Gao Sheng were the last to enter the conference hall. Everyone fell silent, and Gao Sheng sat directly in the head seat, while Perrault sat down next to him.
Everyone was stunned.
"Quiet!" Perot raised his hand. "Today, there are two main announcements."
"First of all, Elder Gao Sheng has been recruited as a core member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!"
A roar erupted in the conference hall.
"Core members?"
"A core member of the Space Mercenary Alliance? That's... amazing!"
……
Pero raised his hand again to silence the murmurs; "The second matter is that I have decided to step down as patriarch, and Elder Gao Sheng will succeed him as patriarch of the Wei Di family! Patriarch Gao Sheng will be the seventh patriarch of the Wei Di family!"
"Greetings to the new clan chief!" Pero bowed to Gao Sheng first.
"yes!"
Everyone bowed respectfully.
Gao Sheng quickly helped Pero up and said to everyone, "I am now focused on cultivation. This position as clan leader is just a nominal one. Clan affairs will still be decided by Elder Pero and the two elders."
……
With the new patriarch in charge, all the elders of the Wei Di family were excited, knowing that the family was about to experience great development.
Soon, the news spread to all the major powers and families in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family further decided to gift the entire Qiulong Star to Gao Sheng, retaining only the southern district of Qiulong City; the imperial administrative district would remain the property of the royal family.
And then there's Sasha. Before she could even raise a cosmic-level race, the slave traders behind her quickly gifted her all the other major planets where the Dreambee race was being raised. Other scattered tribes also migrated back, not daring to ask for money at all.
