Chapter 274 Result of Assembly
?”Can you tell us more specifically about the dimensional merchant?”
“Like the range of products they sell?”
“How frequently do they contact and trade with you?”
“What about the mode of transportation?”
“How do they deliver the product to you?”
“More importantly, how do you conduct transactions?”
“What is the method of payment?” Rakasha asks one by one.
The others also listen intently.
They wanted to know more about this mysterious dimensional merchant.
What if they could directly bypass this brat and trade with such a patron themselves?
“For specific information, I can’t tell you, according to the contract.” Maximus shook his head.
“Tsk~” They quickly clicked their tongue, hearing his answer.
“But for the products they sell, I can still share one or two,”
Telling them too much information at one time will increase the possibility of his system being exposed, which he doesn’t want.
“Then, can you tell us about it?” Rakasha asks, understanding Maximus’s situation.
As for the possibility of Maximus lying, it’s not that important.
As long as they get the key information, they can go back and investigate it later.
“Truthfully, I don’t know the range of what they can or can’t sell.”
“Aside from seemingly having everything available in our world, they also have unique products from different dimensions.”
The crowd in the room frowned, processing what Maximus had said.
Maximus basically said nothing but also everything.
Meaning they can only probe further if they want to know more.
“Oh, I also heard that they sell tier 10 resources and products,” Maximus shrugged as if he just remembered it.
Hearing that the dimensional merchant Maximus is in contact with is selling tier-10 products, the room turned silent, like a void.
Tier 10 realm!
The thing that countless powerhouse dream day and night.
The thing that kept them fighting for countless epochs.
Hearing that they were in contact with at least a tier 10 civilization, they couldn’t help but feel fear and excitement at the same time.
“Is this confirmed?” Rakasha asked seriously.
“I’m not sure, but very highly likely,” Maximus didn’t deny nor confirm.
The information he provided should be enough to catch fish.
Anything more would harm him and his plan for the future.
…
A few months later, in the Shadow Hunter Outpost:
Maximus was in his residence, meditating as if waiting for something.
A few months had passed since the high-level assembly, and the process was easier than he thought.
After a few days of discussion, they came to terms with Maximus.
Firstly, the Shadow Coins would be solely owned by him.
Maximus didn’t need to pay any tax or hidden fees.
The methods of making the currency were also kept by himself.
However, Maximus needed to ensure not to abuse this right.
Otherwise, they would personally take action and rehabilitate him.
Secondly, it was about the trading rights for the unknown dimensional merchant.
Each top guild could freely trade with him as an intermediary.
This was the problem causing the assembly to last for a few days.
After Maximus listed what could be bought and the prices.
The crowd went wild and taught him how to be a decent human being.
At the start, the price he listed was at the Etherium Realm price standard.
But those old foxes seemed like a bunch of enlightened sages.
They didn’t believe anything Maximus had said and told him to state the actual price.
It came to the point where they even openly threatened Maximus.
Although they didn’t know if Maximus had the backing of the unknown dimensional merchant, they didn’t care.
In the face of profits, anything is negligible.
Even Rakasha, who had always been impartial, didn’t side with him.
After hearing that they were trading tier 10 items, his heart went on fire, and he wanted to acquire one.
Although they couldn’t advance to tier 10 because of the constraints of their world.
Buying a tier 10 weapon or two would still be a massive boost to their strength.
What about the abyss?
Heck, they might even devour this piece of shit and advance the Etherium Realm to tier 10 dimension.
Finally, after a few days of back and forth, Maximus had to grit his teeth and lower the price, thus reducing his income.
Initially, he could earn at least ten to a hundred times the price difference.
As a result, he could only earn about twice or thrice the price difference.
Fortunately, there were still rarer items that he could price arbitrarily.
The third thing they discussed was the expansion of outposts and shelters in the Abyss Realm.
With more outposts and shelters, they could deploy those uncountable tier 6 individuals rotting in the Etherium Realm.
In the past, due to the lack of a safe place in the Abyss, this could not be implemented.
After all, just the tier 7 powerhouses already overcrowded their space.
Now, with the dimensional merchant, they didn’t worry about the source of material and could build more outposts and shelters unscrupulously.
Regardless of cost, they decided to push the abyss horizontally and, in turn, earn more profits.
As for the lack of fighting power of these tier 6 individuals, this is not a problem.
A larger number means more power.
If a hundred tier 6 individuals can’t compared to a tier 7, what about a thousand?
What about ten thousand?
What about a hundred thousand?
What about a million?
One has to know that the ratio of tier 6 to tier 7 powerhouses is like a drop of water to an ocean.
An ant can drown an elephant, much less a bunch of powerful individuals.
For this, Maximus didn’t say much.
Anyway, he was not the one spending money; even he could earn much more.
Now, the Shadow Coins, or should he say Etherium Coins, were already being widely promoted.
Since they already had a new currency, why would they still use the depreciating crystal merits?
Unfortunately, even with the guarantee of top guilds and organizations, the spread of Etherium coins is slow.
After all, all those past trials had already taken a toll on them.
What if, in the future, such a currency fell?
By then, they wouldn’t even know where to cry.
As for the name change, it was the suggestion of the Etherium Council.
After all, if a currency represented an individual, then where would they put their face?
Isn’t this admitting they were not as good as the other party?
Didn’t that mean that the Etherium Council didn’t have control anymore?
Maximus agreed to this without much thought.
After all, Shadow Coins were indeed too personalized.
While he was in deep thought, a knock came on the door.
“Guild leader, a group of individuals wanted to see you,” Andrew stated.
“Oh? The first prey is here?” Maximus muttered silently.
“Lead them to the audience chamber,” Maximus instructed.
…
Audience Chamber:
Maximus sat in a chair, eager to see who would be the first brave one to take the bait.
These few months, no one was brave enough to trade with him.
Although Maximus’s source was tempting, it was full of unknowns.
They didn’t know if they would be cheated out of money.
So, most of them adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
After all, to trade with Maximus, one had to pay first, and the total transaction must reach a hundred quadrillion crystal merits.
This was a substantial amount.
Although they were top guilds or organizations with a significant flow of money, they didn’t dare to spend that much at a time.
Maximus was also helpless in this regard.
He set this limit to avoid being too busy.
If it were only trillions of crystal merits at a time.
With so many guilds and organizations out there, he would be exhausted just transporting and exchanging the products.
More importantly, these trillions were nothing to him.
With thousands of shelters, famous products, and Etherium coins, Maximus could earn 2 to 3 quadrillion every month doing nothing.
This amounted to tens of trillions every day.
Why waste time earning a few extra trillion?
Of course, mainly because he didn’t want to expose his system too much.
Frequent transactions meant frequent exposure.
Furthermore, just thinking about it, earning tens of quadrillions with just a wave of his hand was quite good.
As for paying first, it was natural.
Maximus only had less than a hundred quadrillion in his system.
If he traded with goods on the spot, it would be troublesome.
What if the transaction reached hundreds of quadrillions or even quintillions?
Maximus could only delay the transaction, leading to more problems.
Didn’t that imply that the dimensional merchant wasn’t that strong?
Or perhaps there was a technical problem imposing a limit?
Either way, many issues would arise, jeopardizing his credibility.
Maximus could only sigh and be thankful that someone finally had the guts to initiate a transaction.
After this, many should clear their doubts and begin trading with him.
By then, saving 100 quintillion for his advancement would be a piece of cake.
He could even reserve one for his family, ensuring they would never be separated when he returned to the Etherium Realm.
This fish was indeed his lucky star.
He wondered if he should offer some discount to this courageous customer.
As he was thinking, who’s the stupid fish that took the first bait?
The door slammed open as a beautiful angel flew into his embrace.
“Maximus!”
