Chapter 423 Star Lord's Development
Chapter 423 Star Lord's Development
A few months later, Etherium Realm, Nova Island.
Leo Nova, the Star lord of Nova Island, looked at the catalog of their harvest from the past few years. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"It's too little," Leo muttered with a frown.
Compared to the casualty rate, the harvest was too small in comparison.
"Is the high chaotic sea only this much?"
After a thousand years of development, the Star Lords became like the stars of the chaotic sea.
With the end of the abyss, those tier 7 and tier 8 individuals had nowhere to go.
They had no foundation in the Etherium Realm, and with such a large number of returning powerhouses, there was no land left for them to fight over.
Fortunately, with the new path, the Star Lord, a new light appeared for them to follow.
Without worrying about financial difficulty, Maximus launched the Star Lord Path with full strength.
No matter the ethnicity, strength, or ability, Maximus would grant them a star island, giving them a chance to become a Star Lord.
Although there were many casualties, the number of people who succeeded in the Star Lord Path was much higher.
Now, in the Etherium Realm, there are already millions and billions of star lords roaming the chaotic sea.
Because of this, the seemingly infinite Etherium Realm became a little crowded.
It's not that it's small, but because the chaotic sea that is safe is not enough.
From the seas near each continent, the unrestricted sea, and the high chaotic sea, these three divisions divide the danger levels of the chaotic sea.
The sea near each continent can be considered safe area for tier 4 to tier 7 individuals to roam freely.
It's a war-free zone that only allows development; one could even call for immediate reinforcement in case of emergency.
This part of the sea was full of vitality as the Star Lord put light on the dark sea.
As for the unrestricted sea, it's the battlefield of the tier 8 individuals.
Without rules, limited support, and lack of supervision, the unrestricted sea is the real battlefield of the Star Lords.
Furthermore, with the frequent sea beast tides and the occasional appearance of tier 9 sea beast monsters, it can be said that life in the unrestricted area was perilous.
In addition to the danger, however, the resources one could get were incomparable.
Tier 9 mines, herbs, top-grade magic crystal veins, rare exotic species, and all kinds of high-tier resources could be found in the unrestricted area.
Then there is the High Chaotic Sea, unlike the unrestricted area where one had to worry about attacks from other star lords.
In the High Chaotic Sea, the enemy is only the sea beasts and the ever-changing weather.
The sea beasts that appear in it were ferocious, and could even eat a tier 9 Apex Sovereign alive if they were not careful.
Besides it was the ever-changing weather making the chaotic sea a hundred times more dangerous.
From space cracks, powerful storms, poisonous mist, high gravity, high tides, the highly chaotic sea was like hell in the sea.
Without the capability of an Apex Sovereign, just staying in the high chaotic sea would be a problem.
Fortunately, the Nova family had accumulated enough.
As the first batch of the Star Lords, Nova Island was comparable to a tier 9 Warship.
With tier 9 energy weapons, tier 9 protective barriers, and other auxiliary means, they can barely survive in the High Chaotic Sea.
What Leo couldn't accept was that despite staying in the highly chaotic sea and enduring high casualties, they still didn't find a single worthy resource.
Suddenly, the door to his room opened.
"Dad!"
"What?" Leo asked with a frown.
"We found a tier 10 Gold Void Mine!"
"Tier 10 Mine?!" Leo muttered in shock.
Although the Etherium Realm is only a tier 9 dimension, because of the presence of the chaotic energy, producing higher resources is possible.
Unfortunately, also because of its interference, Maximus' ability as a Dimensional Master was hindered.
Calming down, Leo quickly asked his son about the specifics of the mine.
"There are a few tier 9 chaotic sea beasts, which should not be a problem. However, the environment in the mine is filled with space turbulence. Dad should know that Gold Space Mine only grows in chaotic space nodes."
"Is that so..." Leo frowned upon hearing his description.
Leo had already experienced mining in a chaotic space node in the past.
What he could only say is although the profits were high, the labor and torture they had to go through were like hell.
With a chaotic space node, all equipment basically couldn't be used.
If they didn't want the space to go haywire, they could only mine using their body.
Even using a bit of magic power was dangerous as it could agitate the space to explode.
Withstanding the pressure, the darkness, and the coldness of the sea, they could only mine with gritted teeth.
While Leo was deliberating about their next course of action, his Star Lord Seal began to vibrate.
"Hmm?"
Taking the seal in his hand, he read the announcement on the virtual screen.
"Recruitment Tab? Void ants? What is this?"
In the recruitment tab, there is only one recruitable being, the void ants.
As a new feature of the Star Lord Path, Leo was a little curious about what the void ants were.
Reading the description of their ability, his mouth couldn't close.
"Isn't this a tailor-made solution for me?" Leo muttered in shock.
Void ants were the perfect miners in the chaotic sea.
They didn't fear any environment, had unlimited stamina, liked to work, didn't need to eat, and didn't care about anything.
Void ants were like the epitome of recruitable species for Star Lords like them.
However looking at the price to recruit the void ants, Leo felt like cold water was poured on top of his head.
"A million low magic crystals for a single tier 0 void ant? Why don't you directly write scam next to it?" Leo muttered in dissatisfaction.
Recruiting a tier 0 void for a hundred years costs a million low-grade magic crystals.
If it's not a scam then what is it?
Seeing the following price, his frown deepened.
Basically, for every tier increment, the cost would go up tenfold.
Looking at the last tier 9 void ant, he was not even eligible to rent it.
"What a scam!"
However, Maximus was not to blame for the pricing.
Each tier 0 void ant costs a dimensional coin, converted to low magic crystals it's exactly a million.
This is already with a discount because he bought them in bulk.
If you bought them normally in the Virtual Realm, a single tier 0 void ant costs dozens of dimensional coins.
Cursing, Leo suddenly saw a partial recruitment section.
"So I could recruit the void ant for a day minimum?"
If he recruited a void ant for a whole hundred years, he would need to pay a million low-grade magic crystals.
However, if it's only a day, it only costs a hundred low-grade magic crystals.
"This is feasible!" Leo muttered in excitement.
If he recruited enough, it would only take the void ants a few months to mine the Gold Viod Mine.
Excited, he quickly called his subordinate to arrange the island.
....
A few months later.
As Leo expected, it only took a few months for hundreds of billions of void ants to mine the whole gold void mine.
"Such wealth!"
Counting the entire yield of the mine, even if he sold it in bulk, he could earn hundreds of thousands of quintillion magic crystal.
Compared to the cost of labor, which is only few quintillion magic crystal, it's a huge profit.
"However, it's not over yet!"
During the few months the void ants were mining, he browsed through the Star Lord forum and found that the void ants also had the ability to refine raw materials.
With the acquisition task for the Etherium Alliance for the Etherium Academy, Leo could earn over ten times the amount if he let the void ants refine what they mined.
"This is the Era of the Nova family!" Leo muttered excitedly.
...
While the Star Lords were busy earning the money of a lifetime, Maximus was busy comprehending thousands and thousands of elemental domains.
The Dimensional Library and the Shadow Casino were already on the right track.
Earning tens of millions of origin coins and laundering millions, Maximus had no problem with money for the time being.
His wives were also busy with their things, setting up businesses, or training their abilities.
As for his children, they were still fighting in the battlefield domain to join their dream organization.
The Etherium Realm was also on the right track.
Without resource pressure, more and more powerhouses were appearing.
Unfortunately, because of the limit of the Etherium Realm, advancing to the tier 9 realm was still a heaven-defying task.
There is also the Etherium Academy; with the void ant's help in mining and refining materials, Maximus estimated that it would only take a few hundred years before it could be opened.
So far, everything is smooth sailing, and Maximus has nothing to do.
He could only hasten his progress and become stronger as soon as possible.
Furthermore, deep inside, he felt a premonition that something dangerous was about to happen.
"I hope I am just hallucinating..."
