Chapter 277 Abyss Realm Progress
?In the Shadow Hunter Outpost:
The successful transaction of the Lorekeeper guild quickly reached the ears of top power in the abyss realm.
With shock and excitement, they quickly emptied their money and flew to the Shadow Hunter outpost.
Maximus, along with his sons, greeted apex sovereigns one after another.
From the most essential supplies to rare materials, money kept flowing into Maximus’ hands.
As the days pass, many arrogant and fierce top power come to threaten him.
The deterrent of the dimensional merchant was nothing.
After all, hundreds of quadrillion were gotten only after a life-and-death battle.
How could they be willing to hand it to Maximus, who was weaker than them?
Unfortunately, as soon as they exuded a murderous aura, a death scythe appeared on their neck.
A thousand ordinary Tier 9 Mana Cannons, dozens of Heaven-level Tier 9 Elemental Cannons, and dimensional void artillery.
With the control of Eternal Voyager, it seems that their life is hanging by a thread.
Especially the unknown weapon hidden in the dark, it seems it could one-shot them to death.
With flattering expressions, they quickly apologized to Maximus and proceeded to order as if nothing happened.
After seeing this, Maximus felt satisfied and grateful for his quick thinking, purchasing a dimensional weapon.
This dimensional weapon cost him over 10 quintillion, which was the money of those who first initiated a transaction with him.
It could be said that Maximus gambled all his money on this.
If there is no follow-up order, he wouldn’t have the money to plug in the orders he received.
Fortunately, after a few weeks, Maximus accumulated over 30 quintillion worth of transactions.
With these, he could earn over 20 quintillion, minus the 10 quintillion he spent on the dimensional weapon.
If this continues, he will soon accumulate the 100 quintillion needed to advance to tier 8.
Unfortunately, this was only temporary.
30 quintillion crystal merits were almost the limit that the top powers could freely spend.
Any more, and the situation in the Abyss Realm would be in disarray.
After all, crystal merits were not only used for advancement and currency but also as an energy supply in many special devices and architecture.
Paying with magic crystals would be even more impossible.
The toll to transport magic crystals was very expensive, making it impractical for transactions unless in an emergency.
Maximus could only hurry and return to the Etherium Realm; earning money should be easy by then.
However, the danger and pressure he needed to withstand would be higher in return.
In the abyss realm, there was only one top apex sovereign, Rakasha, which already made him nervous.
In the Etherium realm, there are tens of top Apex Sovereigns.
Knowing that he had a connection with other dimensions, they would surely not sit still.
Akasha didn’t dare to touch him because of the already precarious situation of the abyss realm.
However, in the Etherium realm, they had no such scruples.
Even the dimensional weapon that could one-shot an apex sovereign was useless.
After all, even the sharpest blade is useless if it cannot hit.
Fortunately, after he returned to the Etherium realm he would be already tier 8, which gave him the strength to protect himself.
…
A few months later.
In the Shadowcrest Residence:
Maximus was busy counting money when his son, Lux, suddenly barged in.
“Dad!” Lux greeted flatteringly.
“What do you want?”
“Uh, didn’t I tell you already?”
Knowing his father’s connection with a dimensional merchant, Lux’s excitement these past few months couldn’t be contained.
Furthermore, looking at the quintillions of crystal merits being traded every now and then, Lux’s heart nearly burst out.
With a plan in his mind, Lux asked his father for help expanding the Shadow Hunter Hub and the categories sold at the Pavilion.
“Have you thought about the manpower?” Maximus asked lazily.
Maximus had no problem expanding the categories and supplies the Shadow Hunter Pavilion could sell.
But expanding the number of Shadow Hunter Hubs?
They still had no such capabilities.
Just the manpower alone was already lacking.
Thousands of Shadow Hunter Hubs were already understaffed, let alone adding more.
Furthermore, looking at the transactions these days, Maximus estimated that more outposts would pop up.
By then, a small shelter would be indispensable as it lacked the security and variety of an outpost.
“We can just set up an autonomous outpost,” Lux quickly answered.
“Oh?” A look of interest appeared on his face.
“Continue.”
“Setting up an autonomous shelter the size of the Shadow Hunter Hub is certainly not possible.”
“At that rate, without stronger protection, it would be destroyed by the Abyss monster tide in an instant.”
“However, if we set up a mini shelter cabin of a few hundred meters, it should be possible,” Lux explained as his eyes lit up.
“Huh?” Maximus was suddenly enlightened by his son’s plan.
A Shelter cabin the size of a few hundred meters was too small, like dust in the sea in the abyss realm.
Although it could still attract abyss monsters, with a little concealment, it should be able to survive on its own.
Furthermore, because of its small size, even with high-class concealment and durable materials, it would be cheap to build.
After estimating the cost of building a shelter cabin, it should be around a trillion dimensional coins or less.
Just a quintillion could build a million shelter cabins!
Even if they lost some, they could earn blood because of the quantity.
Furthermore, with more and more outposts popping up, such a shelter cabin could be a relay station becoming more profitable.
“Your mind seems to generate wonderful ideas when it comes to money,” Maximus praised.
Although he earned a lot by trading items in the Myriad World Mall, he didn’t mind more income.
“It’s not only that, Dad. After we build more of such a shelter cabin…” Lux stated his ideas one by one.
Maximus just nodded one by one, discussing the feasibility of his plan.
“How is it, Dad? Are you willing to part with some money?” Lux asked knowingly.
Although Lux didn’t know how much his father earned as an intermediary, he was sure it was a lot.
“Is a quintillion enough?”
“So much?!”
Lux thought his father would only give him a few dozen quadrillion or even a hundred quadrillion.
Who knew that it would reach a quintillion?
Lux far underestimated his father’s blackness.
His father’s pocket would surely be more bottomless if he was willing to invest this much.
“Is it too much?” Maximus teased.
“No, no, this should be just adequate,” Lux hurriedly shook his head, fearing his father would take back such a huge amount of money.
“Then, I’ll leave everything to you. Just tell me what you need, and I’ll buy it for you.”
“Furthermore, If you need help, be sure to ask your brothers and sisters,” Maximus advised, patting him.
“Hmmm.”
…
Soon, five years have passed.
As Maximus completed transactions with the top powers.
More and more rare resources continued to flow in the Abyss realm.
With abundant materials, the Abyss Realm began to undergo a world-shaking change.
First, because there was a lack of crystal merits due to Maximus’ monopoly, there was a shortage of currency.
The previous lackluster performance of Etherium coins began to pick up.
Now, almost a quintillion Etherium coins were in circulation, which is a hundred quintillion in crystal merits in his pocket.
Of course, it’s not pure profit.
He earned less than a hundred quadrillion with the hundred quintillion crystal merits in exchange for Etherium coins.
The Etherium coins those guilds and organizations earned were traded with him for resources, which is like putting money from one pocket to another.
The good news is that the value of Etherium coins when converted in his system, reached 0.00001 of crystal merits.
This is already ten times the value than before.
The second change in the Abyss realm is the number of outposts.
Over a hundred thousand outposts were simultaneously being built in the boundary layer.
In the central layer, over a thousand outposts were under construction.
As for the purgatory layer, no additional outposts were being constructed.
There was no lack of resources in the purgatory layer, only strength.
The outpost there was already enough.
Nevertheless, construction was still ongoing in the purgatory layer.
Top powers used rare materials and stronghold cores exchanged from him to construct mobile strongholds.
The third change was the fighting will of the beings in the Etherium realm.
With the increased demand for crystal merits, the world went into a frenzy.
Every abyss monster encountered would be killed if possible.
Every material that could be found would be dug to the roots.
The timid and cautious fighting style of the past was gone.
For money and resources, the fear and oppression that was rooted in them were gone.
The apex sovereigns also began to move.
Now, at the edge of the purgatory layer, massive explosions could be heard from time to time.
How could they still stay silent with the prospect of buying tier-10 weapons?
This is the chance to reach eternity beyond dimension.
In the past, they could barely see their chance, so they numbly walked through with little hope.
Now, the light is in front of them; they just need to run, run toward success.
