....

A heavy silence filled the room as Liam stared at the screen with a very shocked expression on his face.

He just didn’t know how to process what he was seeing. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his emotions that were about to go out of control.

But he couldn’t. Even with the World-Class Etiquette skill, he just couldn’t control his emotions. How could he? Who would be able to control their emotions seeing these absolutely monstrous rewards.

$200m...

This was the biggest cash reward he has ever received. All of the cash rewards he has combined doesn’t exceed $150m.

The money not only solves his funding issue for the molecular assembler but he now has immediate liquidity for any move he wants to make.

Liam’s phone buzzed and without looking at it, he knew that it was a credit notification from his bank. His account balance has now ballooned to $278m!

This was more than quarter of a billion. This was an amount that he could spend on whatever he wants. This was an amount that some people call generational wealth and he now has it sitting comfortably in his account.

Fuuu... Liam exhaled softly, doing his best to steady his emotions as he turned his gaze moved to the next reward; 1% shares of

Over the week, he had consistently received 0.05% stake in the company, bringing his total percentage stake in it to 0.9%.

He knew that the daily shares reward was a buildup to what he will receive from the weekly sign-in, and he wasn’t exactly surprised by the 1%. But not being surprised didn’t mean that the reward was any less impressive.

What does 1% shares of one of the world’s largest and most valuable consumer-tech company in the world mean? It means $34.8b in value!

With this increase, he now has a 1.9% stake in the company and his holding is now valued at $65.5b. That alone makes him one of the largest private shareholders on Earth and gives him absolutely insane leverage.

The figure qually increased the value of his equity portfolio to $75.6b and with this amount, he now comfortably sits in the top 21 position of the documented world’s richest people.

What does this mean for Liam? It means that he now sits at the same table as the world’s most powerful billionaires!

Liam took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"You can’t lose it yet. There’s still more rewards to check out," he muttered slowly in a soft voice.

He turned his thoughts to the next reward which was 1.5% of the world’s biggest IP powerhouse,

This was the first time that he was receiving the shares of an entertainment company and it really surprised him.

But the surprise didn’t matter. What mattered was the value of the shares he received. 1.5% of the company equates to $3b.

Yes, it was little compared to the first shares reward but that didn’t mean that if was any less valuable.

1.5% shareds of the company is a chunk size of the company and has already given him boardroom recognition. Which means that his words carries weight.

And considering what Liam had in mind for his quantum ecosystem,this reward was actually by far the most valuable. Because in the future, the company might through the ecosystem, grow to become the world’s most valuable company right behind his. And by then, his $3b stake in the company might balloon to hundreds of billions or even trillions.

"I hope system gives me shares of other entrainment companies," Liam said to himself, turning his attention to the next reward.

1% shares of Amazōn. A company that’s called the world’s largest global e-commerce hub. Not only that, but they also have monopoly over cloud computing with AWS.

With his stake in the company, Liam basically owns a slice of the internet itself.

1% stake in the company equates to $19b of conservative estimated value. This was by no means a small amount.

Yes, it’s being overshadowed by the value of his stake in Applē but it was no means a small amount. And the strategic value should also be taken into consideration.

If Applē controls what people hold in their hands, then Amazōn controls what people do with them and where their data flows.

Yes, that was the word. Data. No matter what these companies say, the most valuable to them is user’s data. Not just monetary value but also in form of leverage. And Amazōn has a huge chunk of that leverage.

But it also shares this leverage with another company; Alphabēt. It’s the parent company of the world’s largest search engine; Gōōgle.

And Liam has received 1% stake in the company. That’s ~$20B in value and a stake in the world’s most powerful information refinery, and also giving him backdoor access to the digital nervous system of the modern world.

It’s no secret that Alphabēt controls the digital world. They not only have the two biggest search engines in the world, but also control over digital advertisement and internet tracking.

They also have maps and navigation. Clouds and and one of their most loved, AI supremacy.

And there’s that which can be considered their crown jewel, Android and mobile ecosystem.

It was at this point that Liam was starting to realise that these weekly sign-in rewards aren’t just about monetary value but of also strategic value.

His stake in JP Morgan has made life so easy for him that what he needs can be solved with a phone call.

And today’s stake rewards, their true value would really show in the future.

With today’s shares reward, the value of Liam’s equity portfolio has skyrocketed to a staggering $116.4b. This means a top 11 spot in the document world’s richest people.

Liam exhaled deeply as he processed what this means.

$116b... The system has really outdone itself with just these rewards and there’s still more...

He couldn’t help but take another deep breath and exhaled slowly, before turning his thoughts to the next rewards.

One ton each of pure Platinum bars and Palladium bars.

Liam was once again speechless. The one ton of pure gold bars was already staggering enough, but platinum and palladium? That was another league entirely.

His mind did the math almost automatically. Platinum was trading at around $30,000 per kilo and a thousand kilos meant about $30 million. Palladium was even scarcer, nearly $35,000 per kilo, putting a ton at roughly $35 million.

Together, they are over $65m in value but that was for ordinary bullion, the kind central banks stored in vaults.

His were stamped at 100% purity — laboratory-perfect and impossible to obtain in reality. That kind of perfection just like the gold bars carried a premium easily pushing their combined value toward $70–80 million, maybe even higher if ever put on the market.

Liam sighed once. He wanted to take a Platinum and Palladium bar each, and see what it looks like but he decided against it.

I will see it for myself when I access the Dimensional Space.

With that thought, he turned his attention to the last two rewards and the most eye catching of them all.

While the shares are valuable, for Liam, these last rewards are actually the highlight of this week’s weekly sign-in rewards.

With a smile, he retrieved the document of the aircraft and the car.
