Chapter 273 Mysterious Dimensional Merchant
?Hearing what Trinx said, the crowd went silent and looked at Maximus with inquiry.
If Maximus really had a plan to help them in their fight in the abyss, then everything would be different.
Earlier, they thought of pressuring Maximus first to stop him from having a hand in the new currency.
They didn't want a brat of lower strength to be at the same height as them.
After kicking out Maximus, they would form an alliance and manage this new unified currency.
Truthfully, they were sick of the Etherium World's Will, taking cuts from everywhere.
Besides, the cut from condensing abyss origin, absorbing crystal merits for promotion, and transportation of every material and cargo from the Etherium Realm.
The Etherium World still cut taxes on doing business, more specifically the currency, crystal merits.
Crystal Merits dissipate over time.
Without the preservation of the Etherium World's Will, it will dissipate in just a few days.
However, as the Etherium World's Will preserves it, it also took out some as a service fee.
Although it's barely 0.1 percent, which was negligible for many.
This was a significant amount for them, who earned trillions at every turn.
Most individuals didn't notice this, but for such a humongous organization, it looks like money is leaking.
In the past, many of them tried to introduce a currency for circulation.
If successful, they can quickly consume excess crystal merits, thereby promoting many individuals in advance.
First, they tested Magic crystals, the most used currency in Etherium Realm.
Unfortunately, it's not cost-effective.
Transporting such currency from Etherium Realm is more expensive than the loss they got from the natural dissipation of Crystal Merits.
Second, they tried creating a currency, like metal, paper, alchemy-based, mechanical-based, etc.
Unfortunately, it also failed.
These things are either too expensive to make or too easy to imitate.
They also thought of hunting those who dared to imitate the currencies.
However, the damn culprit was among them.
How would they dare to prohibit that?
Isn't that nonsense? They can only produce more money and earn more before everything ended.
As for digital currency, it can't work in this environment.
Without all-time connections between outposts and cities, who can trust them?
Today, their balance is in billions; the next day, it would be in thousands.
Even if you complain, Who's to say you didn't spend it?
Who can guarantee the bank or the individual is in the right?
A contract?
If they had money to give a contract to every individual, then why would they still bother to set up a new currency?
All in all, their scheme of putting up a new currency is a bust.
No one could solve it, even with all the knowledge and powerful individuals in the Etherium realm.
This is where the Shadow Coins come in line.
It's cheap and impossible to imitate.
Shadow coins are only made from materials commonly found in the Etherium Realm and the Abyss Realm.
If only compared to materials, then gold and silver coins were more expensive to make.
Yet, after months and years of trial and error, they failed to imitate such a currency.
They were already able to create a one-to-one ratio of the currency down to its every law and origin, yet they still failed.
The unique frequency that the shadow coins had couldn't be reproduced.
Those who were a little more careful can spot it instantly.
This is also why they were so frenzied, opposing Maximus in every way.
After bringing him down, they can obtain the unique money-forging technique.
By then, they can create their currency and solve all their problems.
They didn't know Maximus depended on his system to create this currency.
Using his domain and connection to the system.
Maximus was able to harmonize the shadow coin to the same frequency as the origin of his system.
As a remnant of a tier 12 treasure, how can they even dream of imitating it?
...
Taking a deep breath, Maximus thought of his following words.
"Is anyone curious about how I quickly built an outpost? or how I got here?" Maximus started.
"What do you mean?" they questioned.
Of course, they sure heck are curious.
Many of the apex sovereigns in the room have long become suspicious of Maximus since the release of the shadow coins.
From Maximus's unknown source of wealth and materials, even his strength is mysterious.
However, after rigorous investigation, all of this seemed like thin air.
There is no point where it appears like a puff of smoke suddenly appearing.
"I have come into contact with another dimension," Maximus said lightly.
However, his words were not light at all.
All of them stood up as the pressure in the room shot up to another level.
Almost all those with weaker strength than an apex sovereign were unconscious.
"What dimension are you in contact with?" Rakasha said coldly.
This was not a joking matter.
This is an intervention of another dimension.
They know for a fact that their home is simply a pebble in the sea when it comes to the outside.
Just a slightly stronger dimension can crush them like it's nothing.
"I could not tell you that—" Before Maximus finished speaking, the pressure increased again.
This time, his strength can no longer hold it.
Multiple items in his body begin to work, resisting the pressure.
"Ahem, worry not, I signed a dimensional origin contract; they would never reveal our Dimensional Coordinates as long as I keep my mouth shut," Maximus hurriedly said.
The individuals in the room also have little knowledge about outside dimensions.
After all, they often sent various souls to explore the way, a.k.a. the virtual world.
Naturally, they know what a dimensional origin contract is.
A dimensional origin contract is the highest level contract between different dimensions.
Its enforcing power could even bring an entire dimension to oblivion after disobeying the terms of the contract.
Knowing this, they also calm down a little.
Looking around, they saw the individuals they bought knocked out cold.
After despising their weak strength, they hurriedly healed them as they returned to sit.
Rakasha also calmed down, looking at him seriously, asking for more information.
"What I came into contact with is a top-tier dimensional merchant," Maximus declared.
"As they also hope to monopolize the business in our world, they dare not to expose it."
"As for harm, they were one of the top organizations out there."
"They didn't want to accumulate karma just for some petty profit," Maximus lied without a bit of fluctuation.
He already thought about what to do when he came here.
Maximus could even say that he prepared a plan before even coming to the Abyss realm.
No matter how low-key he is, his system would be exposed sooner or later.
It's just a matter of time.
He just accelerated the time by releasing the shadow coins.
However, such a plan was needed.
To collect enough money or crystal merits, he needed to artificially expose the system.
Of course, he needed some cover, and a dimensional merchant was just appropriate.
After advancing to tier 8, he could then spread the myriad system mall in the guise of the same merchant.
"So all the material and money were exchanged by you to this unknown dimensional merchant?"
"Yes, my wealth, the source of materials, even my training manual was gotten from them," Maximus answered without missing a beat.
Hearing this, the crowd went into an uproar once again.
Even his sons couldn't help but nod.
All the weird actions of their father were all connected by now.
Their massive source of wealth and training resources must be exchanged with this dimensional merchant.
As for the training manuals, Liam, Neo, and Lux believe their father only got inspiration from them.
Especially for the 'Origin,' they wouldn't believe that their father just bought it, even if they were beaten to death.
Training with the 'Origin,' they can feel that it was deeply connected with their father.
There was no other hint of impurities hinting that others intervened with it.
They guessed it was their father's natural talent, being able to create such an amazing cultivation manual.
After all, even through all of this revelation, they still believe their father a hundred percent.
After a few minutes of silence, processing the information Maximus revealed, they finally asked Maximus a pressing question.
"Can we also trade with this dimensional merchant?"
"No," Maximus said straightforwardly.
"You mean to be a third party and trade with us and them using shadow coins?" Raksha said after piecing together what Maximus said.
This should be what Maximus meant when he said adding hope of fire with the help of the new currency.
All the arguments earlier were to preheat the revelations later on.
"I can't do anything about it; they only want to contact me and no one else..." Maximus shook his head helplessly.
However, the individuals in the room were smart; they didn't believe a word that Maximus had just said.
What does it mean that they only wanted to contact you?
A hairless brat with such an ant-like strength?
It likely means that you wanted to monopolize this business channel.
"What a sly little fox..." They cursed in silence.
