Novel Full Chapter 507: Ultimate Resource Area
Shadow Pavilion:
Twelve second-rate forces, running rampant in the Nullspire Foothold, stood in the small room.
From the Suncrest Consortium, Silver Trail, Twilight Merchant, Horizon Trade Alliance, Chrome Alliance, and others—each had tier 11 representative
Chattering with each other, they grew nervous, waiting for the so-called mysterious leader of the Shadow Pavilion.
“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m the representative of the Shadow Pavilion, Magnus,” Maximus introduced himself.
“Representative? You?”
Seeing Maximus was only at the Tier 10 realm, they couldn’t help but frown.
They were bona fide Tier 11 powerhouses, and facing such a low-level figure made them feel disrespected.
As they stood in a daze, unsure of what to do, Maximus sat down, watching them with interest.
“Are you the one who sent the invitation?”
“Hmm.”
“What do you want from us? What proposal are you trying to talk about?” Confirming the culprit was the seemingly weak man before them, they didn’t know how to respond.
Fight? Vent their anger? It would be reckless.
Since this mysterious man was able to spend trillions of origin coins, his identity was certainly not simple.
“Straightforward, I see. I’m here to compensate you for your losses. You must have lost quite a bit coming here to see me…”
“You!”
Staring at Magnus in anger, they couldn’t help but recall their losses.
Fighting against the Shadow pavilion, they had lost tens of billions, some even hundreds of billions. NovelFire-exclusive
Although it meant nothing to Maximus, it was a massive sum for them.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that they had backing from the master of the River of Law—their expenses and earnings were modest.
Owning millions in property was already considered wealthy.
Having lost billions of the organization’s funds, they were as good as dead.
Thus, as wary and fearful as they were of the Shadow Pavilion, they had no choice but to respond to his invitation.
“Just tell us what you want! No need to provoke us!”
“Alright, I want polluted void treasures. And lots of them. Since you need money, why don’t you help me acquire them, and I’ll pay you accordingly?”
“How is it calculated?”
“That’s a good question. I’m willing to pay at premium, at the price we were buying them earlier,” Maximus said playfully.
“You’d buy those polluted treasures at such a price?! Are you insane?”
“What’s wrong? If you don’t want to, you can leave now…” Maximus smiled faintly.
Though he wouldn’t earn much buying polluted void treasures at a premium, he could accumulate plenty of corrupted causality points.
Furthermore, no matter how low, with enough quantity, the income he could earn might even surpass his imagination.
“Is there a specific criterion for the treasures you need? What about the quality?” one of them asked hurriedly.
Almost all the somewhat valuable treasures in the Nullspire Foothold had already been bought by Maximus.
All that was left were trash Tier 10 materials that couldn’t even be sold in their unpolluted state.
Thinking of this, they realized that no matter how high Maximus bought the polluted void treasures, it didn’t matter if they had nothing to sell.
“Anything. No matter the quality or quantity, I’ll take it all. Although, for common materials, I will lower the price, of course,”
Some common materials are indeed hard to sell.
Even without the void pollution, they could only be sold for dimensional coins.
For tier 11 powerhouses, dimensional coins were no different from rocks and grass that could be found anywhere.
However, Maximus had access to the biggest resource devouring giant, the Immortal Palace Sect.
No matter how useless the material seemed, it was still Tier 10 resources.
With enough quantity, Maximus would be able to sell it for origin coins.
Meanwhile, thinking over Maximus’s proposal, they couldn’t help but feel excited.
Although, based on Maximus’s prices, they couldn’t make much, it was still quick money.
With enough manpower, they might even be able to recoup their losses and earn a ton of wealth.
“By the way, is there a time limit?” one of them asked.
To maximize profits, they thought of venturing deeper into the Endless Void Nullrift.
Though the Void Tide had now passed, there should still be plenty of unwanted polluted materials for sale there.
The only issue was time.
In the Endless Void Nullrift, it was forbidden to open a void portal.
The space here was too fragile and prone to collapse.
If an accident occurred, they could be crushed by space or expelled into the unknown.
The only solution to venture deep into this endless garbage patch was to rely on the ship’s thruster.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast a void ship was, it would take a few years just to reach the nearest stronghold area.
With the return time included, a trip would take over a decade.
This is also why Maximus was too lazy to venture deeper into the Endless Void Null Rift.
To reach the very core of the rift, it would take millions of years, even with his Tier 12 ship.
No matter how rich the resources there, Maximus couldn’t risk his life and that of his family on such a long journey.
Maximus had even heard that in the deepest part of the Endless Void Null Rift lay one of the Aeon Plane’s ultimate resource-producing areas.
It was filled with undulating pure chaotic energy, capable of creating high-tier and most sought-after resources by the dimensional alliance.
Even the treasures spat out by the Void Tide were merely the discarded remnants that the top sects and families didn’t bother with due to the hassle.
That’s right—the Tier 12 treasures that others risked their lives for were simply the discarded wealth that top sects didn’t care for.
Thinking of this, Maximus couldn’t help but sigh.
Maximus was fighting wits for these materials, yet others only treated them as garbage.
Fortunately, with enough quantity, even garbage could form a mountain of gold.
Turning to the group before him, Maximus told them that he would only stay in this place for a hundred years.
Hearing this, they couldn’t help but feel both relieved and disappointed at the same time.
They sighed in relief because this rich madman wouldn’t be around for long, and they could reclaim the area after he left.
They were disappointed because they only had one hundred years to make easy money from him.
With such a short time frame, they couldn’t venture too far into the endless void nullrift.
After discussing the details, they signed a contract made from a Tier 11 rule scroll.
Unlike virtual contracts or interdimensional contracts, where the enforcer is an external entity, a tiered scroll was enforced by the laws themselves.
In the case of a Tier 11 rule scroll, it was enforced by the River of Law it was created under.
For a Tier 11 individual without being a master of River of Law, breaking such a contract could be fatal.
Even for Maximus, such a contract could cause him harm if he wasn’t careful.
Relieved that something was binding their agreement, the twelve representatives returned to their bases with renewed energy.
Thinking of the promise of massive wealth, how could they not be excited?
…
Meanwhile, after they left, Maximus returned to the Endless Rift Dimensional Stronghold.
Entering the Virtual Realm, he met with Iris to trade the materials he had just acquired.
“How is it, Sister Iris? How much are they worth?”
“Roughly fifteen trillion origin coins,” Iris said in a low voice, clearly shocked.
“Where did you get this massive amount of material? Did you rob a treasure trove or uncover some ancient ruins?” Iris asked in puzzlement.
Maximus processed the materials before selling them to Iris.
From her perspective, the materials were no different from what was sold in the market.
“Fifteen trillion?” Maximus was stunned, momentarily deaf to everything else.
Fifteen trillion! An amount he couldn’t have even imagined in the past.
Even the income from the Dimensional Origin Library after thousands of years didn’t reach a trillion.
“Hello? Are you still conscious? I’m asking where you got this treasure! If you stole it, I can vouch for you to prevent retaliation from the other party.”
“No, Sister Iris, I got this with my own ability. How could I do something like robbing and stealing?”
“So, it’s from an ancient ruin? Whose inheritance is this? These are just a few common materials. If not for the sheer quantity, they wouldn’t even be worth a few dimensional coins.”
“It’s a secret. But don’t worry, I acquired them from legitimate sources.”
Squinting her eyes, realizing she wouldn’t get more information, Iris just shook her head.
After receiving the fifteen trillion origin coins, Maximus stayed with Iris for a few months.
Later, he returned to his residence to spend time with his wives.
Maximus also began focusing on comprehending the system, hoping to increase his mastery over the River of Law.
As for the Tier 12 purification device, Maximus disassembled it, trying to deduce its inner workings.
Although it might not be helpful now, once he could modify his system, it would provide great assistance.
With his schedule full of activities, time passed quickly.
