Chapter 136 Meeting Guild Members
Chapter 136 Meeting Guild Members
"Host, don\'t be too arrogant,"
"The previous individual who reached tier 8 was a prodigy born once in a countless epochs."
"They should have been one of the most powerful apex sovereigns, but they died in the end," Tintin persuaded.
"I said, that\'s them..." Maximus didn\'t explain further.
"Hmph! Stubborn host," Tintin said and got back to the token.
Maximus, on the other hand, looked at his panel.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Soul Tier 4: Elemental Mage - lvl 1
Body Tier 4: Sky Knight - lvl 9
Mana Amplitude: 602
Soul Will: 280
Mana Compatibility: Rank 7 Transcendent
Mechanic Comprehension: Rank 7 Transcendent
...
Life points: 3,865,210
Potential Points: 40,774,171
Magic Crystal Points: 12,125,934,234]
"The potential points should be enough..." Maximus thought.
[Fire Affinity: Rank 4 legendary (0/100,000)]
"My talent is really trash."
Usually, mana compatibility is the same as most of the basic elemental affinity.
As he only had trash talent at the beginning, all of his elemental affinities are trash.
When he was training spells previously, he upgraded his talent to at least a legendary rank.
"Upgrade..."
[11,100,000 PP+]
[Fire Affinity: Rank 7 Transcendent (0/100 million)]
"Now let\'s try the speed."
With the newfound fire element affinity, he ran through the cultivation manual again.
...
A day later, Maximus opened his eyes.
"Huh"
"Refreshing," Maximus breathed, as he carefully felt the changes in his soul\'s mana pathways.
"It\'s really different with high talent."
Maximus felt that with rank 7 transcendent affinity, it would take him less than a month to master the fire element completely.
"Huh? What happened to you, host?" Tintin also woke up feeling the changes in Maximus.
"Nothing."
"Nothing? But your training was very fast just now?"
Normally, you can\'t judge a person\'s affinity and comprehension just based on normal scanning.
You need to test it through different methods, and it would still not be accurate.
The only thing that can easily be scanned is mana compatibility, which is the affinity to the world.
Tintin knew of Maximus\'s mana compatibility of transcendent rank, so she assumed that his elemental affinity was also transcendent rank.
She was sure of this because Maximus\'s training earlier was super fast.
But what he didn\'t know is that Maximus relied on his transcendent mastery of Gaia\'s primal genesis.
This made his training speed fast, without any disturbance, like pouring water into a cup.
"I\'m just warming up earlier," Maximus lied.
Although Tintin is his, this elemental world is not.
Who knows, maybe someone is spying on him now.
Anyway, there are many things that can increase potential.
He is not worried that someone will carefully check him and notice a difference.
"How about now? Do I have a chance, right?"
"No, it\'s still impossible!"
"The Gaia\'s Primal Genesis is not just about talent or comprehension"
"It\'s about time," Tintin explained.
"Time? Like the passing of time?" Maximus asked.
After all, he only had up to the tier 6 chapter of the manual.
He didn\'t have time to get the whole manual.
"No, it\'s the literal time!"
"To reach tier 7, you need to combine the soul, physical body, and the branch of the Chaos World Tree."
"This Chaos World Tree is not from this realm."
"Even those apex sovereigns didn\'t know the whole depth of this thing."
"Anyway, once you reach tier 7, this branch of the Chaos World Tree will absorb your time."
"It\'s literal time, not just vitality."
"Various life-extending elixirs and treasures will not work."
"Unless it\'s a treasure blessed with the law of time, it\'s useless."
"This—" Maximus didn\'t know what expression to make.
He only knew that Gaia\'s Primal Genesis needed time.
He thought that it was hard to train or that it required the passing of time.
Who knew that it literally devoured your time?
"You should change quickly, host!"
"No, I think this is very suitable." Maximus smiled confidently.
Time?
What is that?
Now he can have 266 years\' worth of time every day.
Once he reaches tier 7, his wives should also become stronger.
By then, the time he would get would be enormous, to the point where the Chaos World Tree might choke devouring his time.
"I think you\'re daydreaming, host." Tintin rolled her eyes.
"I\'ve got this," Maximus said as he returned to training.
"Oh," Tintin didn\'t bother further and returned to the token.
...
Two weeks later, Maximus woke up from his training.
"It\'s time to meet my guild members," Maximus muttered.
Opening up his token, he accessed the Shadow Hunter Guild panel and sent a message.
[Meet me at the Tower of Arcana, World of Fantasia.]
[Wow, the leader is alive!]
[The leader finally showed up!]
[The leader is on time as always.]
[Nice, I will finally meet the leader personally.]
[I miss you, Boss!]
[Leader, I don\'t have money to go to the World of Fantasia! I\'m broke (╥_╥)]
[Yes, leader! I spent all my money on my experiment!]
[Leader, please forgive me for my absence.]
After they greeted Maximus, they told him about their grievances of being poor.
It\'s not that they can\'t afford money, but the World of Fantasia, like the Elemental world he is in, costs an enormous amount of money.
Although not as expensive as the Elemental World, which is 100 billion low-grade crystals.
The World of Fantasia still costs a billion low-grade crystals per entry.
[Maximus: Don\'t worry, I will treat this time.]
[Wow, the Leader is generous!]
[I can take advantage of the leader this time.]
[I wonder how prosperous the World of Fantasia is.]
[I heard there are many beauties there.]
[I will enjoy myself until the leader is bankrupt.]
[Maximus: Go, don\'t dawdle.]
[Yes, leader!] x99...
...
"Tintin, wake up, take me to the World of Fantasia," Maximus urged.
He came to know that Tintin has this function.
Tintin can partially access the Tower of Arcana to teleport anywhere.
"World of Fantasia???" Tintin looked at him strangely, as if he were some scumbag.
"Let\'s go!"
"Also, lock my guild members in, pay for their entries later, just deduct it from my credits."
"Fine..." Tintin said and operated the token.
...
In the Tower of Arcana, World of Fantasia:
The World of Fantasia, as the name suggests, is the world of paradise.
It\'s the largest entertainment place in the entire Etherium realm.
From the simplest food and drinks to the largest gambling establishments in the world.
It is said that you can do whatever your heart desires here, as long as you have money.
"I didn\'t know that there is such a place in the most prestigious organization in the world," Maximus remarked.
Just by feeling the atmosphere, he felt himself becoming energetic and happy.
"This is for the students to relax and bond with each other," Tintin explained.
"It\'s also a training site for overcoming any addiction."
"It is said that countless epochs ago, there was a man who was addicted to copulation with the opposite sex."
"Then what happened?"
"Because he couldn\'t advance to tier 9 due to his addiction to women, he came here and spent all his life\'s property indulging in it."
"He spent millions of years spending day and night with different women."
"What do you think happened?"
"He lost his money and quit?"
"No, he was traumatized."
"After the ordeal, whenever he saw a woman, he would vomit."
"Fortunately, he achieved his wish and reached tier 9."
"However, he also became the purest apex sovereign there is."
"His domain is only filled with different kinds of plants."
"There wasn\'t even an animal."
"He said the mere thought of seeing animals copulating reminded him of his dark years," Tintin said, laughing as she told the story.
"What a pitiful man..."
Spending millions of years copulating with different kinds of women just to advance to tier 9.
Maximus didn\'t know if it was worth it or not.
While Maximus and Tintin were talking, members of the Shadow Hunters Guild teleported beside him.
With Tintin locking them, teleporting them beside him was easy.
"We\'ve met the guild leader!"
"All right, let\'s wait for the others."
"Yes, leader!"
Soon, all the guild members arrived.
"Boss, I finally saw you!" Andrew said with fake tears.
"Maximus," Silas nodded to him.
"Hmm."
"Leader, where shall we go?" one of the guild members said, looking excitedly at the place.
Since they were here, they should play, right?
Although the entrance fee only provided basic things, it was enough for them to enjoy for a while.
"Let\'s book a room first and discuss the development of the guild."
"Tintin, book us a room."
"Yes, host."
"Is that the spirit of a tier 9 token?"
"Leader is a core student; a tier 9 token is a basic configuration,"
"Bathing in the leader\'s light is really good"
They already knew that Maximus had been promoted to a core student.
This is also why they were not embarrassed even if their leader treated them to things.
"Let\'s go, all your expenses are on me today!"
"Woo-Hoo!!!"
"Let\'s Bankrupt the leader today!"
