Chapter 158 Tier 5 Lunar Knight
Chapter 158 Tier 5 Lunar Knight
After Andrew introduced all the facilities, they came outside to visit the City resources.
Setting up a city is not just about settling in but also about the resources it offers.
Otherwise, why bother setting up a city?
"Currently, we already reinforced thousands of tier 1 to 4 resource points."
"There are also hundreds of tier 5 resource points."
"As for tier 6 resource points, we have only reinforced less than ten."
"For tier 7 and above, we are too weak to have access"
"It's good enough," Maximus praised lightly.
These resource points serve as land reserves for training people, much like a copy in a game.
Each resource point corresponds to various dangers and benefits.
This is where all the resources have come from.
From the most common tier 0 material to the highest tier 9 materials.
Maximus didn't own these resource points; he only had the right to manage them.
Each resource point had corresponding protection from the continental array.
Getting resources out of your tier is not possible.
For example, in tier 1 resource point, as he was already tier 4, he was not eligible to enter and obtain resources.
He needed to challenge tier 4 resource points to reap any rewards.
As for the reinforcement that Andrew mentioned, it involves placing various teleportation pockets inside the resource points.
These teleportation pockets can directly connect to the city's teleportation array.
It ensures the safety of people who challenge the resource points.
Operating these arrays alone is profitable.
Although people do not need to pay to enter these resource points.
If they are in danger and need to use these teleportation pockets, they need to pay a large sum of money.
This is where the main income comes from.
"Now that the teleportation array is finished, you can start advertising the city."
"Right away, boss."
...
Three months later, Maximus opened his eyes as he stopped training.
During these months, nothing noteworthy had happened, and all things were proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Shadow Hunter City had begun its operation, with people from all over the origin domain coming to the city.
While people were free to go to any resource points, most of them prioritized safety and convenience.
Currently, Shadow Hunter City has at least hundreds of thousands of people coming and going everywhere.
This led to the city's revenue skyrocketing from negative figures to hundreds of millions of low-grade crystals per day.
All of which were used for the city's construction.
"Let's see the result of my training..." Maximus muttered as he opened his panel.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Soul Tier 4: Elemental Mage - Level 1
Body Tier 5: Lunar Knight - Level 1
Soul Amplitude: 3,474
Soul Will: 381
Life Points: 16,517
Potential Points: 14,522
Condensed Soul Path: 425 Elements
1118 types of Tier 3 spells: Initial (113 billion/165 billion)]
"Huh, just a few more months or a year, and I'll reach tier 5," Maximus exclaimed in excitement.
Reacher Tier 5 Lunar Knight didn't provide much help, beside strengthening his foundation.
With his current 425 elemental soul path, crushing an ordinary tier 6 was no problem.
The reason for his rapid progress was the Amalgamation of Will.
As his empire's population became stronger and larger, the Initially, when he converted the daily Amalgamation he received, it was only about 1 million points.
Amalgamation of Will became more potent.
Initially, when he converted the daily Amalgamation he received, it was only about 1 million points.
Now, after a little less than a year, it had reached 2 million points.
This increase was due to the Moonlight Empire's population, which had doubled to over 2 billion in just a year.
Unfortunately, during the past three months, Cedric hadn't transported any population.
He was still organizing the Starsea traders and recruiting sailors.
Maximus expected that after the reorganization, Cedric could deliver a billion people per month.
The Moonlight Empire officials were also preparing for this endeavor.
After all, settling a billion population per month was not an easy task.
If it weren't for this problem, Maximus would dare to upscale the budget, hoping to transport at least 10 billion population per month.
...
A month later, good news arrived.
"Husband, I have the baby!" Isabella said excitedly.
"Really?!"
"Hahaha, feel the life force, husband!" Isabella laughed as she placed her husband's hand on her belly.
"It really is," Maximus smiled in relief.
It had been more than eight months since they had tried the conception method.
Maximus had even bought all kinds of supplements to hasten the child's conception.
"It's not easy..." He sighed.
It was only their 12th child, but it was already this hard.
What more for the subsequent ones?
"But it's kind of weird; it seems that various laws are intertwining with the baby," Maximus muttered.
Condensing hundreds of elemental soul paths had made him sensitive to all kinds of energy.
"It should be the methods taught by Madam Hina."
"Indeed," Maximus didn't see anything wrong with these energies.
Instead, he felt the nurturing, as if conceiving a treasure.
"However, it seems that we will have to wait at least 3 years before the baby is born."
"That's fine; I can wait," Isabella said, rubbing her belly.
"Is it a new sister?~" Serene asked, touching Isabella's tummy.
"Yes, it should be a sister~," Cyra agreed immediately.
"It must be a brother; sisters are no fun," Sam chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah, sisters are troublesome," Luke said.
"Sisters are cute too, and silent..." Neo, who was half asleep, thought.
He didn't like brothers as they were too lively and disturbed his sleep.
Emma and Jane, who were watching the scene, looked longingly.
They also wanted a warm family.
The warm touch and affection seemed to melt them.
Looking at Maximus, they couldn't help but be moved.
"Anyway, staying with this scumbag is fun and reassuring," Jane thought.
"Maximus should be suitable..." Emma thought.
Emma and Jane locked eyes, as if seeing each other's thoughts, they blushed, and looked away.
"By the way, it seems that your graduation test is tomorrow," Maximus remembered.
"That's right, Dad!" Max nodded.
"How are your preparations?"
"Everything is ready; I just don't know how strong our opponents will be this time," Sam said, clenching his teeth.
"With all the training in the virtual world, we are already super strong!" Luke added.
"That's good, keep it up!"
"Once you accumulate enough points in the test, you can automatically enroll,"
"That's easy, Dad, just 8 more years, and then we'll be like Mommy!" Layla said.
With 10 passes, they could automatically enroll in the Origin Arcana Institute without any trials and become Seekers.
"Oh, how time flies," Liam thought as he listened to their words.
It had been a year since Amara had been living with them.
Looking at Amara, Liam couldn't help but reach out for her hand.
"What do you want?" Amara whispered, embarrassed that others might see her.
"Nothing, your hand is just too comfortable to hold."
"Cheeky mouth," Amara muttered to herself and pinched Liam.
"Do you think you can pass the test?" Liam asked as he pretended to get hurt.
"Heh, don't underestimate this girl," Amara said proudly.
With her talent, she had already surpassed Liam by miles.
However, she often held back to avoid hurting Liam's feelings.
There was even one time in a combat exercise when she faked an accident, hoping to have Liam save her.
Thinking about it made her blush harder.
"Alright, as long as you're careful, leave everything to me."
"Hmm..."
Maximus, seeing all this interaction, smiled a little.
He couldn't help but wish they could get married immediately, but unfortunately, they were still too young.
"A few more years..."
...
In the fringe of the Arcane Continent:
Slash*
"Huh, close..." Alister breathed heavily as he nearly died.
Alister was the brother of Amara, who had left to pursue his training.
"This should be enough to exchange for training materials..."
Without any backing, Alister had to do everything himself.
Fortunately, with his memory and talent, it was quite easy.
"I wonder how my sister is doing..." Alister thought of Amara.
After receiving his epoch of memories, he didn't really have any affection toward some brat.
He only thought of repaying this little sister of his sometime in the future.
...
In Curse Continent, Eryndor Empire:
"How is the news about Emma?" Emperor Akash asked.
Emma was an important piece in their alliance with the Westle family.
However, months had passed.
Yet, there was still no news about their return, so he couldn't help but be worried.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Ruler of Moonlight Empire took a liking to Princess Emma and kidnapped her," the advisor said.
"What?" Akash was a little shocked, not expecting such a turn of events.
Who knew that a ruler of an empire would engage in such activities as kidnapping?
With their stature, what women could they not get?
"It seems that this Emperor is a bit of a womanizer..." Akash thought as he tapped his chair.
Nothing could happen to Emma, as she was a bargaining chip for the family alliance.
"Go send an envoy to negotiate terms. You have to get Emma at all costs," Akash ordered.
"As ordered, Your Majesty!"
