Chapter 863 Racial Achievement Shop
863 Racial Achievement Shop
At the end of the day, the Racial Achievement Shop – just like the individual Achievement Shop – made everything a lot easier. It could do almost everything, for a price, of course.
Obviously, creating your own Warp Points and installing them wherever you wanted was possible without using a single Achievement Point. It was also possible to link them manually or construct a Cosmic Trading Market, Trading Hubs, and Cosmic Shops with the necessary resources, blueprints, and knowledge.
However, the crucial use and importance of the Achievement Shop and its Racial version was that it allowed people and races to achieve things that seemed near-impossible from their perspective. For example, the Tritan Alliance didn’t have the means to construct a Cosmic Trading Market independently. It would take several centuries, if not millennia, to acquire everything needed to build their Cosmic Trading Market. Even then, the Cosmic Trading Market would be unlike the one purchased from the Achievement Shop.
Michael’s understanding of the systematic revolving around the Achievement Shop and Achievement Points wasn’t exceptional. Still, he could tell that it was an efficient way to save time and allow certain things that most would deem impossible.
He might have an easy time procuring Soultrait Symbols, which was why the section was useless to him in the individual Achievement Shop, but others would have to be lucky to procure Soultrait Symbols from ancient ruins or Lord Rifts. The percentile of Awakened who’d entered a Lord – or Rogue – Rift was low, and not many survived either. Among the survivors, only one in a hundred, or one in a thousand, would be lucky enough to be rewarded with a Soultrait Symbol, similar to how Michael procured Reinforced Sword Qi.
Ancient ruins were even harder to find and conquer, yet the chance to procure a Soultrait Symbol wasn’t much higher. Thus, most Awakened would have to resort to the Achievement Shop if they ever wanted to procure another Soultrait Symbol. It was also the reason the Soultrait Symbols were so expensive.
It was also possible for Michael to ask Selena for help to procure all necessary resources, knowledge, and blueprints for the Cosmic Trading Market, but she told him that it wouldn’t be worth it. That the Will wouldn’t like this. Michael accepted her reasoning, but it didn’t make things easier for the Tritan Alliance.
They didn’t have the necessary resources to procure many things, but they were in dire need of a lot. Thus, he considered doing exactly what the Nest Leader procured.
“Warp Points and a Cosmic Trading Market connecting us to the vast cosmos and their shops,” Kraft Viton mumbled when he first heard about Michael’s plan to properly connect the Tritan Alliance and their members.
“A cosmos full of resources, if you want to put it like that,” Michael added to the portion related to the Cosmic Trading Market, but Kraft Viton looked at him for a while instead of saying anything.
“Honestly, I was a little surprised when Palika and Niechol gave you their Racial Symbols without saying anything. I agreed to give you my shard of the Human Racial Symbol, and I guess it’s also part of my fault that you were given the remaining shards, but still… I expected you to think more about yourself,” Kraft Viton acknowledged, not trying to hide his surprise.
“What do you mean?”
“You know that Racial Achievement Points are of higher value than ordinary Achievement Points, right? I don’t know how many ordinary Achievement Points you have. Still, I’m fairly sure you could purchase several things to improve your strength to another level using the combined Racial Achievement Points of Humans, Berserkers, and Warlock Centaurs. Why are you not even thinking about taking some things for yourself?”
“What are you talking about? The Cosmic Trading Market is incredible. It will help me a lot as well.” Michael smiled innocently.
“You don’t need the Cosmic Trading Market in the Tritan Alliance. You won’t even stay here forever, in the first place. You can just go and use another Cosmic Trading Market. In the Nest or whatever they called it.”
“I could, but it’s not like I have to rush back and forth. Furthermore, I don’t think taking everything will help me. The Tritan Alliance needs the Racial Achievement Points more than I do. I still gained something, though: trusted allies, whom I can train and link to my territory. That way, I gain countless new Awakened Subordinates.”
“You’re weird,” Kraft Viton smiled, “But it’s good that you didn’t change. I saw too many people change once they gained power and authority. I’m glad that didn’t happen to you.”
Michael shrugged and pointed back at the paper before him, “Selena told me that every Cosmic Shop has a monthly fee. The same applies to the Trading Hubs and the Cosmic Market’s maintenance. Everything costs money, or Energy Stones, to be precise. That includes the Warp Points as well. Of course, Racial Achievement Points can also be used, but we should store them to purchase other things we cannot do on our own. There are lots of things like that, so we need every single Racial Achievement Point we can save.”
“Is there a list with the monthly fees? We shouldn’t purchase too many Warp Points, Trading Hubs, and Cosmic Shops if their maintenance is too heavy,” Kraft Viton said, returning to his senses once he had made sure Michael didn’t change.
He smiled while studying the pieces of information spread out before him.
“Ordinary Achievement Points can be used to purchase structures like Trading Hubs and Cosmic Shops as well. That means corporations like the Bartholomew Corp is only required to connect to the Cosmic Market. Once that is done, we could create our Trading Hubs and Cosmic Shops without straining the Racial Achievement Points.”
“You want to create a simple network to unlock all paths and allow others, if they have enough resources and Achievement Points, to establish their own ‘add-on’? That could work. It would work with the Warp Points and the Cosmic Trading Market. We only need one market, trading hub, and main shop. The rest can be added by the corporations or single individuals as long as they meet certain requirements.” Michael guessed what his old master was trying to do and flashed a smile
“Exactly,” Kraft Viton nodded, “We can say that everyone connecting to the Cosmic Market will have to pay a certain fee – on top of paying the monthly fee to maintain their Trading Hub, or Cosmic Shop – to use the Tritan Alliance’s Cosmic Trading Market. That way, as long as enough corporations use the Cosmic Trading Market, the Tritan Alliance won’t have to pay any fees. All expenses would be carried by the private corporations.”
Michael smiled. “We can do the same with the War Points. It’s unlikely that many will establish new Warp Points immediately, but the wealthiest families and hidden clans will certainly create their Warp Points to show off their wealth and shorten the time needed to travel significantly. This will become even more important once the Tritan Alliance expands and starts colonizing the other stellar systems within the safety of the torn firmament.”
“In that case, should I call for a meeting?” Michael asked, still smiling.
“A meeting? Why?”
“Huh? Can you confirm the purchase of a Cosmic Trading Market, one Trading Hub, a Cosmic Shop, and the Warp Points with the others? We need to come to a conclusion. The faster the be–…” Michael was interrupted by Kraft Viton.
“You don’t have to confirm anything. The Racial Symbols are yours, and so are the Racial Achievement Points. They were given to you to force you to stay with the Tritan Alliance and help us with your power. I don’t know about the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs, but none of the human powerhouses expects you to use the Racial Achievement Points for us.
They would have used everything on themselves and their families. Their reason for giving you their shard is their greed. They hope to procure Soultrait Symbols from you cheaply, upgrade them, and grow stronger than everyone else. They also hope to gain more from you through the Nest, but I don’t know for sure. The scheming of the High Society was never something I liked.”
“Oh… Well, in that case…”
An interface showing the Tritan Alliance’s stellar systems and the individual planets appeared before him. He tapped a few spots where he wished to establish Warp Points and how to connect them using the [Warp Points – Interlink] option.
Michael didn’t confirm his purchases right away, checking the price tags only after he had experimented enough to establish the cheapest network system.

Unfortunately, even the cheapest version wasn’t cheap enough. They didn’t have enough Racial Achievement Points.
“This is…Urgh!” Michael groaned. The Interlink Warp Points’ function was more expensive than expected. He tried as much as he himself could, yet establishing three links was the cheapest. That was more than a little frustrating. He didn’t expect the Warp Points to amount to so many Racial Achievement Points.
‘What if I remove the Basic Trading Hub as well as the Basic Cosmic Shop and purchase them using my Achievement Points? No, that’s n’t possible. There has to be one Trading Hub and Cosmic Shop for individuals to purchase and install them in the same territory.
Michael cursed. They missed only a little, but this wasn’t going towards be easy to increase their Racial Achievement Points suddenly.
It took Michael a while towards calm down, but his eyes fell upon two additional interfaces once he himself did.
[Not even Racial Achievement Points!]

“Oh…”
