Novel Full Chapter 503: Trillions of Harvest
After the war, Maximus returned to ‘Shadow’ and met with his wives.
“Husband! We’re rich! We got so many tier-12 materials this time!” Jane exclaimed.
“We also got a mountain of tier-10 and tier-9 materials!” Denice said admiring her masterpiece.
“I see. What about injuries? Are any of you hurt?” Maximus asked, worried.
Maximus cared more about their safety than the mere materials they had gathered.
“Don’t worry about us. We’re safe and sound. No one could match us with our strength,” Skye snorted, thinking of the weaklings who dared to attack them.
“That’s right! we even beat some bandits who dared to steal our loot!” Lilith muttered, cutely clenching her fist.
“That’s good. I’m glad you’re all safe…” Maximus sighed in relief, checking them over just to be sure.
After confirming their well-being, he turned to inspect his harvest.
[Family and Power System:
MVLeMpYr-hosted
Host: Maximus Shadowcrest
Physique: Dimensional Source (Origin Grade: 0/Unknown) (Rank 11: 3.7 Billion/10 trillion)
Magnitude of Power: 1.7 Trillion
River of Knowledge: 8%
Causality Points: 11,800,224
Causality Points (Corrupted):1.4 Trillion]
“Huh? Over a trillion corrupted causality points? So much?!” Maximus thought in shock.
His harvest was much greater than he had expected.
This was already over one-tenth of what he needed to upgrade his physique.
“Just nine trillion more to go. I’m off to a good start.”
Soon, his wives also finished counting their haul.
“Husband, we really hit it big this time. After purification and processing, the materials we collected would be worth at least 300 billion origin coins!” Freya counted.
“Wow, that’s a lot! Now we can go shopping again!” Irene shouted happily.
They knew Maximus had been penniless due to the reinforcement of the Etherium Realm and buying supplies.
Wanting to help their husband, they worked hard to collect as many treasures as they could to help turn their financial situation around.
Counting their earnings made them even happier.
“Let’s head to the nearest transit point and sell our harvest in the virtual realm later,” Maximus said, encouraging them with a smile.
He didn’t lack channels to sell these treasures.
Besides the Starling Family, he also had the Immortal Palace Sect to sell to.
As for the Elfalhn Race, Lux and Alice hadn’t officially married yet.
According to Lux, he wanted to nurture their relationship before holding any ceremony.
He didn’t want to give Alice a half-hearted marriage tainted with interests and intrigue.
They would be together for Eternity; Lux wanted their vow of marriage to be filled with the love and respect they each deserved.
Knowing this, Maximus didn’t discourage Lux and even supported it.
He didn’t care about the alliance with the Elfalhn race or whatever; the happiness of his children was a priority.
Meanwhile, hearing they would go to the Virtual Realm in a while, they couldn’t help but feel excited.
Their joy from the hundreds of billions of origin coins no longer mattered; what they cared more about was they could finally meet their family again.
Although only a few decades had passed, they dearly missed them.
Seeing their joy, Maximus smiled and gave them a comforting hug.
In their journey, it was natural to feel homesick.
Having lived in the etherium realm for thousands of years and venturing into the unknown all of a sudden, it would feel like time was on a fast-forward.
If they hadn’t had each other, staying in the void alone would make anyone crazy.
Furthermore, this was only the beginning—when they ventured to harsher places, they might not even be able to access the virtual realm for hundreds or thousands of years.
Other places weren’t like the Endless Void Nullrift, where one could come and go freely.
Their next destinations had time limits and would close off access at specific intervals.
“As long as we have each other, we have the world. Don’t worry about our children; each has their own ambition and family.”
“Hmm…”
Soon after reminiscing over their lives in Etherium Realm, their emotion stabilized.
“Calmed down now? Let’s go shopping! There’s more treasure waiting for us outside!”
Looking out the ship’s windows, they saw an endless line of stalls being set up.
The chaotic battlefield had turned into a marketplace in the blink of an eye.
“Are we buying materials from them?”
“Why not? This way, we can earn even more!”.
“That’s right! Husband is truly ingenious; we can just import these materials and profit from the difference.”
“But why would they sell to us? Couldn’t they just sell in the virtual realm themselves?” Lilith asked.
“It’s the purification. Do you think everyone can purify polluted treasures like our freakish husband, waving his hand and doing it instantly?” Hazel muttered, looking at the tattered but purified materials before them.
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? So it’s a business model—those with more cost-effective ways to purify void pollution can profit!”
“You’re catching on,” Maximus said, patting her head.
There are two usual ways to purify void pollution.
The first is to isolate the material and allow time to gradually cleanse it.
The second, more advanced method involves using the power of the River of Law to expel the pollution.
Both methods are either time-consuming or require significant manpower.
This makes those who didn’t have the patience, to cash in their haul as soon as possible.
As for those who’ve mastered the River of Law, unless the treasure is exceptionally valuable, they wouldn’t waste their energy on purification.
This gave Maximus a significant advantage.
His system could directly absorb void pollution, aka corrupted causality points, in an instant, with no loss.
Thus, not only could he profit from these transactions, but he could also collect the corrupted causality points he desired.
Just the void pollution left in the treasure they collected, Maximus had gained a few billion causality points.
Maximus couldn’t imagine how much more he would gain by buying treasures from the endless line of stalls.
“Here’s the money. Let’s split up—this way, we’ll be more efficient,” Maximus said, giving each of his wives a billion origin coins.
Over the years, his funds had recovered from hundreds of millions to over ten billion origin coins.
Buying some scraps and polluted materials wouldn’t be an issue.
“What should we buy? Do you have any preferences?”
“Just buy the cheaper, more polluted materials. They’ll be useful to me.”
Nodding, his wives left the ship without question.
They had noticed that their husband seemed to be collecting void pollution.
Wherever the ‘Shadow’ passed, the pollution disappeared.
For such matters, as long as it’s useful to Maximus they would collect it without questions asked.
Leaving the ship, they rushed to the stalls, bargaining and collecting all the treasures filled with void pollution.
“Wander, Voyager, you can shop around as well and look for the materials you need. I’ll handle the purification later,” Maximus said, giving them a billion coins each.
“Thank you, host!”
Once everyone left, Maximus quietly cloned himself a hundred times.
“Ten billion magnitude of power—not bad.”
Instant cloning skills would split his power.
If he wanted more with sufficient power, it would cost resources and more time.
A hundred clones were more than sufficient to scour the stall for treasures.
Giving each clone a hundred million origin coins, Maximus ventured out on his own.
“Hmm~ This concentration of void pollution should dissipate in about a hundred years…”
[+3… +3.1… +3.01…]
Although the void tide had ended, the surge of energy had not.
The void pollution left behind remained active, giving Maximus at least three units of corrupted causality points every second.
He was already satisfied and planned to stay in this place before moving on to their next destination.
In the past, even when venturing to deeper void regions, he could only collect one unit of energy per second.
Now, with such a convenient location, he had no intention of leaving.
Furthermore, their next destination—The Silent Void Expanse—wasn’t open yet.
It was a special place where entry and exit were allowed only at specific times.
According to his investigation, those who entered would need at least a thousand years before they could leave.
Before diving into such a place, Maximus planned to replenish his causality points.
Maximus couldn’t risk running out of causality points in such a situation.
Not only did causality points help in his comprehension, but they were also a crucial material for the tier-10 solution they needed for cultivation.
Maximus planned on earning trillions of origin coins and then exchanging billions of causality points with Iris.
Turning to the stalls, he spotted a mountain of tier-10 materials worth only a few origin coins.
“What a bargain,” he thought happily.
Waving his hand, he bought all the stall’s merchandise and moved on to the next.
Mountains of tier-10 materials soon filled his storage space.
He also came across tier-11 and tier-12 materials that interested him, costing thousands to millions of origin coins.
By Maximus’ estimate, flipping the treasure in his possession could earn him hundreds of thousands or even millions of origin coins.
“Hmm? What’s this? A tier-12 purification device?”
“You have a good eye. This is a chaos-level purification device used by the Dimensional Alliance in ancient times!”
“Although it’s a failed product, it should still have some research value…”
