The Most Powerful Wealth System

Ellaine, a well-known model, actress, and influencer—almost on par with Angeline, even though Angeline isn't actually an actress—was working in the area.

As a model and brand ambassador, she was doing a photo shoot at the waterfall.

It's no surprise that visitor access was restricted at the time, since the brand didn't want anyone to disrupt the shoot. However, visitors were free to come later that afternoon. So, the photo shoot didn't take long—it only lasted about two hours.

At that time, the shoot had just begun around seven in the morning.

Riki, Kaivan, and Zeno couldn't go down because it would disrupt the shoot. So, they sat at a café run by the local government. From that café, the entire view of the waterfall was clearly visible.

It's called the Thousand Waterfalls.

It's named that because the waterfall is large and expansive, consisting of a cluster of several waterfalls that merge into one. Although, in reality, there aren't actually a thousand of them.

"They say the land there is going to be sold, but it's limited to domestic buyers only. The land belongs to the mayor here—it's his personal property… he's originally from this area. The café also belongs to the mayor, and he uses the proceeds to help the local community. That's why café staff are limited to local residents only. The vendors running small stalls around here are also limited to local residents. I think we could buy that land—it's quite spacious… we could build a kind of inn or glamping site," said Kaivan, who was quite familiar with the surrounding area.

Kaivan had indeed already intended to help this small town—which held great potential—to develop further.

"I think you're right. With a lodging facility around here, people coming from out of town or even from abroad won't have to go through the hassle anymore. Are there any other tourist attractions around here, Kaivan?" asked Riki, who was starting to get interested in buying the land the mayor was planning to sell.

"Of course there are. For example, there's that pine forest over there, and there's also a beautiful cave nearby, as well as other waterfalls," replied Kaivan.

"Besides lodging, I think this place needs a convenience store too… I don't see one here," muttered Zeno.

Kaivan nodded. "That's true—there actually is a convenience store, but it's quite far from here, about five hundred meters. If there were a convenience store at the inn, I think that would be great too, since the lot is so spacious; we could even build a restaurant or café there as well."

"If we open another café or restaurant, that means we'll create more jobs, right? Let's just hire young people from around here who are ready to work and learn. If they don't know anything about the job, that's okay—I'm ready to train the staff. But we'll still need skilled workers for some positions," replied Riki.

"Riki is the best person to find workers, but how do you plan to do that, Riki? Can you tell if someone is trustworthy or not?" asked Zeno, staring at Riki with a curious expression.

Riki laughed at this and looked away from Zeno's gaze.

"Don't look at me like that—I have my own way of doing things, and that's a personal secret."

"How do you go about finding a super-gorgeous employee like Twaila? I think she's just too amazing, and she'll soon make it as a top celebrity just based on her looks," said Kaivan, getting excited about their conversation.

"That's a secret! I can't spill my secrets to you guys, but don't get me wrong—I trust you—but I still can't reveal a secret like this," said Riki firmly, but it only made his two friends laugh.

Riki, who was starting to get annoyed, looked really funny to them.

"All right, all right, sorry… no need to pout like that—you look like a duckling," teased Zeno.

"Well then, I'm a handsome duck!" retorted Riki.

"Why do you just accept being called a duck?" asked Kaivan, who still couldn't stop laughing.

"Because so many people say that, so I've just given up—hahaha,"

In the midst of the three handsome young men's rambling conversation, suddenly, down below, the waterfall looked incredibly chaotic.

The photo shoot should have been over by then.

The three of them stopped talking and looked to see what was happening down there using the cafe's binoculars.

"Ellaine fainted, Riki!" shouted Zeno, who had just used the binoculars to see what was happening down there.

"You said Ella?" asked Riki. He snatched the binoculars from Zeno's hands and tried to check for himself. He also activated his detection magic to assess Ella's condition.

Since his detection magic had been upgraded, Riki could now select a specific person to view detailed information about them—such as their health status and other details. However, he could only use this ability occasionally, as it required a significant amount of magical energy.

Zeno was right—Ella had fainted, and according to the detection magic, she was simply exhausted. She could be healed with a low-level healing potion. However, it would be better if she drank some young coconut water and then rested.

"Zeno, you can get some young coconut water right now, right? Kaivan and I will help carry Ella back up. She's just exhausted," said Riki, dragging Kaivan downstairs.

Since the stairs leading down to the waterfall were extremely steep, it was very difficult to carry an unconscious person back up—even for a strong man.

Therefore, Riki had no choice but to help the girl directly. Only Riki could carry her. Then, Kaivan had to stay behind him; if anything happened, Kaivan could catch both the girl and Riki. Kaivan was strong, too.

Once they reached the bottom, everyone panicked. They'd tried their best to wake Ella up, but she remained unconscious.

"Let me help carry her back up," said Riki.

"Really? Thank you."

"Won't that be difficult?"

The photography crew's various questions showed their concern for Ella, but Riki smiled at them.

"It won't be difficult—I'll carry her on my back. She's just exhausted. You guys can get some young coconut water to help Ella regain her energy," said Riki.

Kaivan helped Ella climb onto Riki's back. His job was simply to watch her from behind. Let Riki handle the hard work of carrying her.

At that moment, the girl's clothes were wet, but Riki didn't seem to mind, even though his own clothes got wet on his back.

Luckily, Riki was very strong, so they made it to the top safely.

Riki then asked a female staff member to change Ella into dry clothes. However, the staff member explained that all of Ella's clothes were back at the inn, so there were no dry clothes for her to wear. Consequently, Riki lent her some of his own clothes, which were still clean. Coincidentally, he had some clothes stored in his system—white elastic-waist shorts and a light blue shirt that actually fit Riki.

Admittedly, the outfit wouldn't match, but there were no other clothes she could wear.

Shortly afterward, Zeno arrived carrying young coconut water. Some of Ella's staff members also received young coconut water.

"Miss Ella still hasn't woken up. Should we take her to the hospital? There's a hospital about three kilometers from here," said the female staff member who had just finished changing Ella's clothes.

"No need. Let me check on her." Riki got into Ella's car to examine the unconscious girl. He had brought some healing potion, but now he was unsure how to get the girl to drink it.

Finally, he tried to open her mouth, and suddenly she opened her eyes.

"Riki? Are you going to kiss me?"

"So you've actually been awake this whole time, huh?"

"Hehe, I was waiting for you to come, Riki!"
