In the private room, World of Fantasia:
“Leader is really generous!”
“I’ve never seen such a luxurious array of food, spread on the table in my life.”
“Thank you, leader!”
The guild members celebrated upon seeing a bunch of food and drinks made of Tier 8 material.
Each one of these plates cost hundreds of millions of low-grade crystals.
“You’re welcome.”
“Before you eat, let’s talk about the Shadow Hunters Guild’s development.”
“There are three main things for now.”
“First, we need to develop the plot of land in the Origin Domain.”
“Second, we need to build a ship for our trip to the Chaotic Sea.”
“Third, I need your help to develop my empire.”
“Any questions?”
“Leader, where do we get our materials for this?”
“Don’t worry about anything regarding the materials.”
“I’ll post each individual mission in our guild with the corresponding material.”
“What about the rewards, leader? Is it still the same as before?”
“Yes, it’s still the same as before. You can earn points and exchange them at the corresponding value.”
For the reward, Maximus can only use his own money, without any discount.
His 99.9% discount works only for himself.
This discount applies to things like training, building territory, or even gifts.
But gifts have strict criteria.
First, the gift should not be exchanged for anything.
You can only give it if there is no exchange involved.
Second, the gift will be tracked from time to time.
If it’s sold by the other party, Maximus will bear its full value and pay for it.
Anyway, the 99.9% discount is pretty strict, and you can’t earn money to use for other things.
Buying cheap material and then selling it is also banned.
The institute will ensure that you only use the money for yourself and not for anyone else.
“Anyway, just do these three tasks for now.”
“After we finish building our ship, we can set sail to the chaotic ocean.”
“Alright, let’s eat. The food is going to get cold,” Maximus said as he got the food.
“Wow, finally, it’s time to eat.”
“I don’t know which mission I should choose this time.”
“Of course, it’s the ship-building mission.”
“Why is that?”
“It will be our home in the chaotic sea in the future, so we need to prioritize it.”
“Hmm, but I want to manage our guild’s land.”
“Indeed, as our base, it should be the most prosperous place in the world.”
“Aren’t you curious about the territory of the guild leader?”
“Do you want to do a mission there?”
“Yes, I’m quite curious about the guild leader’s place. Anyway, I can earn points wherever.”
“Let’s just eat this time; we want to leave the guild leader broke this time.”
“Hahaha, you’re right. Cheers!”
Soon, they finished their food.
After that, they explored the legendary world of Fantasia, indulging in all kinds of things.
There was gambling, fighting, pleasure, drinking, whatever you could think of.
Anyway, they did all they could to bankrupt their leader.
Of course, they were still somewhat sensible, not spending indiscriminately and throwing the guild leader’s money into a ditch.
Maximus also enjoyed his time, experiencing all kinds of enjoyment.
But he quit in just a few hours.
It was such a sinful place; Maximus would get corrupted sooner or later.
He just let Tintin handle all their expenses and came back to training.
…
Two weeks later,
In the Elemental World:
“Huh.”
“Finally mastered the fire element.” Maximus muttered feeling the fire element soul path consolidated in his soul.
“You mastered it very quickly, host.”
“It’s easy.”
“It’s only one element; there are a thousand more,” Tintin rolled her eyes at Maximus’ confidence.
“By the way, how is the progress of the three missions I posted?”
“The city-building mission is just starting to build a teleportation array.”
“That’s good.”
The teleportation array isn’t that hard to get when you’re in the Origin Domain.
That’s also why all cities here have teleportation arrays.
“The ship-building mission is just starting to conceive the blueprint.”
“Hmmm.”
Maximus didn’t have time to assist them in creating the blueprint, so he let them handle it.
Besides, there’s Silas, who has spent millions of years studying mechanics.
Furthermore, Maximus will have the final say in interpreting the blueprint they create, so he can modify it later. 𝑶𝑣xt.𝕔𝒪𝑚
“As for assisting you in developing your empire, they are still waiting for the teleportation array to finish.”
“The teleportation array in the Moonlight Empire should be about to finish, right?”
“Yes, host. Based on their progress, it should only take a few more days.”
“That’s good.”
“Just in time to take a few days’ rest and then go to my empire.”
This month, his training has been almost nonstop.
Except for the guild assembly halfway through and coming back to his family for a few hours every week, he has been training continuously.
…
A few days later,
In the City of Arcana, Maximus’ manor:
“Dad, are we really going back to the Curse Continent?” Lyla asked.
“Yes, the teleportation array should be finished in a few hours.”
“Yay! I miss grandpa and grandma.”
“I don’t know what the place looks like now,” Max chimed in.
“It should be more prosperous. I heard from Dad, that it has already become an empire,” Lily said.
“Hmm, I can’t wait to see it”
“I can finally see you…” Liam silently thought.
“Husband, after we get there, you should take us to explore for a few days,” Hazel said.
“Of course. How can I not take you to see the hard work that I’ve built?”
“But the children still have school,” Angeline said.
“Don’t worry, taking a few days off should be fine.”
“Tintin, please notify the Crystalis Guild that my children will not go to school for a while.”
“Yes, host.”
Being a core student comes with many privileges.
For instance, school has already started, but Maximus hasn’t attended a single class.
With the system’s life points, he can master anything even without guidance.
He only came here for resources and access to higher status.
Now that he has everything, why would he still go to school and study?
“Dad, so you can excuse us from school?” Sam said with shining eyes.
“No, it’s only temporary.”
“Oh, I thought I could take an absence whenever I want,” Sam muttered silently.
“Yeah, school is boring…” Luka muttered to the side.
“Study well. I heard your graduation is in four months.”
“If you do well, there’s a reward.”
“Really?”
“Can we ask for anything?”
Sam and Luke were energized and looked at him intently.
His other children also gazed at him, thinking about the rewards they could receive.
“Yes, as long as I’m satisfied, you can ask for anything.”
“Hmph, it’s just school. What’s so hard?” Sam said.
“It’s a piece of cake!” Luke added.
“You two are quite ambitious,” Max said, looking at his two brothers.
“It’s not like you’re not one,” Liam muttered, thinking of Max’s goal to defeat Ella.
After talking and bonding for a few hours, his token vibrated.
The Origin Relic Guild sent him notification about the finish teleportation array.
“The teleportation array is ready. Let’s go.”
…
In the Curse Continent, Moonlight Empire:
“It’s really uncomfortable,” Maximus wrinkled his brows.
His children were already down due to dizziness.
His wives, on the other hand, managed to stand up crookedly.
The longer the distance between each teleportation array, the more space distortion will happen, hence the dizziness.
“Drink this first” Maximus said, giving them a potion.
“Huh.”
They breathed a sigh of relief as they drank the potion.
“The teleportation array is more uncomfortable than the last time,” Max said.
The others also sat down, trying to relax and break their stupor.
While they were resting, the people from the Origin Relic Guild arrived.
“Is the teleportation array all right, Lord Maximus?”
“It’s fine, but it’s uncomfortable.”
“Uh, it’s all the same, Lord Maximus.”
“The other teleportation arrays outside the Arcane Continent are all like this.”
“Is there any way you can stabilize the space channel?” Maximus asked.
He really didn’t want to experience this thing again.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.”
“Is that so?” Maximus sighed.
He thought of looking for an item that can stabilize the space channel in the system later.
“That, Lord Maximus, we are here to confirm the handing over of the teleportation array, as well as to tell you its precautions.”
“Each time it’s activated, it will use 1 top-grade magic crystal per second.”
“We already supplied the teleportation array for 24 hours of opening time.”
“As for others, Lord Maximus token’s spirit should know what to do.”
“Alright.”
“Then we will leave,” the people from the Origin Relic Guild left.
“Tintin, do what you have to do.”
“Yes, host.”
Tintin flew toward the teleportation array, binding Maximus’ soul and magic signature.
After that was done, Tintin changed its array code and various permissions.
“It’s done, host.”
“Hmm.”
“Are you feeling better now?” Maximus said, looking at his wives and children.
“We’re fine, Husband.”
“We’re fine, Dad.”
“Then let’s go. Let’s see the changes that have happened in the Moonlight Empire…”
