Chapter 420 Setting A Casino
??Virtual Realm, Dimensional Alliance Potion Mall:
Inside were rare potions, each in their showcase booth.
Opening her primordial origin eye, Lilith was a little stunned.
The inscription security of each potion was higher than everything else she had seen.
Even in other Dimensional Alliance Malls, the encryption security wasn't as high.
"These are Origin-grade potions, so don't be surprised," Maximus said, seeing what Lilith was thinking.
"Oh~"
They were not in a cheap Dimensional Alliance Mall; this was a high-grade potion store only selling Origin-grade potions.
From training, auxiliary, healing, and poison, to even potions that could enhance the physique, everything was for sale.
This was also Maximus's goal.
To enhance his physique to rank 11 and rank 12, he needed to take Physique Enhancer potions.
However, each potion was too expensive.
A tier 11 physique enhancer potion was about 1 million origin coins each.
The tier 12 physique enhancer potion on the other hand cost 1 billion origin coins each.
If this were the only problem, Maximus would have bought them long ago.
However, according to the description, a single physique enhancer potion could only ensure a dimensional-level physique advancement.
If it's at the ultimate level, one would need multiple potions.
According to the data, a Heroic grade physique needed at least ten times the normal amount.
A Mythic grade needed at least a hundred times the amount.
A Supreme grade needed at least a thousand times the amount.
As for Origin grade physique, although it was not in the description, Maximus estimated that it would need at least a hundred thousand to a million times more than normal.
With his yearly income, it would take him thousands of years to even enhance his physique to rank 11, let alone rank 12.
Taking his chances, he thought of Lilith's ability.
"How is it? Can you crack it?" Maximus asked anxiously.
"No, it's a little advanced," Lilith replied.
"This-" Hearing the problem, he frowned.
"Synchronize your thoughts with me," Maximus quickly suggested.
"Hmm,"
Synchronizing their thoughts was easy.
After a few tries, Lilith felt another brain stuffed in her body.
"Is that you, Maximus?" Lilith thought shyly.
"Yes,"
"It's you!" Lilith thought happily, being closer to Maximus.
"Let's start."
"Hmm."
Opening her primordial origin eyes, Maximus saw what Lilith was seeing.
It's a fascinating world filled with wonder.
Although his origin domain could also analyze the essence of things, it was like going from a light microscope to an electron microscope, with more resolution and clarity.
Not wanting to waste time, Maximus quickly used his independent consciousness to crack the inscription.
"So fast," Lilith thought in amazement.
Even for the easiest one, it would take Lilith a few seconds to crack an inscription.
However, for Maximus, it seemed the barrier inscription was a mere illusion.
Before she even knew it, potion after potion was getting copied into her mind, quickly starting to give her a headache.
Noticing this, Maximus hurriedly stopped.
"Sorry, I'm a little fast,"
"No, it's alright, let me rest for a few minutes, and it'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Maximus asked worriedly.
"Hmm."
Resting for a few minutes, Maximus and Lilith began to wander in the store, looking for potions to prioritize copying.
Finding their goals, Lilith and Maximus restarted their copying spree.
This time, learning his lesson, Maximus consciously slowed down, estimating Lilith's maximum capacity.
Soon after a few hours, with his help, they quickly copied Origin grade potions from tier 1-10.
Most were duplicates, so it didn't take much time.
"Finally, there's only the last one," Maximus thought.
Copying the tier 9 and 10 physique enhancer potions, they turned their attention to the center of the shop.
In such a prime showcase of both, Lilith turned her attention to the tier 11 physique enhancer potion.
"What inscription is this?" Lilith thought in shock.
Each rune was so small and dense that it looked like a block.
If not for the strength of her primordial eye, Lilith wouldn't even see the different light tones and grooves between them.
"Can you crack it?" Lilith asked worriedly.
"On it," Maximus answered briefly.
His independent consciousness was already working at full power trying to crack the inscription.
No matter how advanced it was, as long as he could see it, no rune inscription could stop him.
With millions of epochs each second passing by his consciousness, if not for a little isolation, Lilith might also be overwhelmed.
Finally, after about 30 seconds, the runes started to fade as Lilith began to imprint the blueprint of the potion.
"It failed," Lilith said after staring at the potion for a few minutes.
"Failed?" Maximus sighed as if foreseeing the result.
The tier 9 physique enhancer potion contained the combination of the essence of the law.
While the tier 10 physique enhancer potion contained the combination of origin of law.
Naturally, the tier 11 physique enhancer potion was more complicated, containing the path of law.
"I'm sorry," Lilith said after seeing Maximus sigh.
"No, it's okay, this is expected," Maximus comforted.
It seemed that Lilith's physique should be enhanced to rank 11 before they could think of copying the tier 11 physique enhancer potion.
Calculating the lowest estimate he had, he would need at least 100 billion Origin coins to buy 100,000 tier-11 physique enhancer potions.
At worst, if it's not enough, he needed a trillion origin coins to buy a million potions.
With the addition of the dimensional harmonizer, if Maximus didn't increase his income, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to afford them.
However, looking at the long term, it was already fast.
Many couldn't even afford such an amount, even if they waited for eternity.
Now, Maximus just needed to be steady, and everything would come his way.
Comforting Lilith, they roamed around the store to see if they missed any potions.
Not finding anything, they had fun for a while and returned to the Etherium Realm.
...
A few months later, Etherium Realm:
After sorting out the various resources they copied, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
"This should be enough," Maximus muttered.
Looking at the 100 tier 9 pseudo-ultimate ether forges, Maximus quickly inputted the rune inscription he had written in the past few months.
Maximus didn't wait any longer for the Codexia world to produce the necessary rune inscription code but did it himself.
He couldn't delay laundering money any longer.
Once this stabilized, he would have to think of a way to make more money.
Waiting for thousands of years to achieve his goal was not his way.
Looking at the Etherforge that was operating normally, he couldn't help but smile.
"Now I just need to set up the casino,"
...
In the Virtual Realm, Central Domain:
Coming up with his true identity, Maximus went to the Dimensional Alliance Center to process some documents.
As a Dimensional Master, although he was only equivalent to a Class C VIP, he was still qualified to rent land in the Central Domain.
To earn big money, Maximus needed to set up his shop in the most prosperous place.
Only the Central Domain, where the use of Origin coins was the norm, was the perfect place to start his business.
Otherwise, if he set it up in another Virtual Domain, he could only earn dimensional coins.
What Maximus needed was to launder Origin coins.
After all, no matter how many dimensional coins he had, he couldn't spend them to buy high-end resources.
Looking at the tall building in front of him, Maximus quickly entered.
After being greeted by the attendant, Maximus was quickly led to a private room.
"Leasing land and putting up a casino?" The manager asked in confirmation.
"Yes,"
"Do you know about the special policy of the Central Domain?"
"I have already looked it up."
Different from other Virtual Domains, not only was the land in the Central Domain super expensive but there were also various stringent rules.
If one wanted to set up an establishment, one had to follow the minimum standards of the place.
Whether it is design, service, ambiance, etc.
Then there is the income flow.
The income should be above standard, or it would be closed instantly.
Even if one had money to rent, they would be immediately evicted if their income fell below the standard.
Such a disgrace shouldn't appear in the Virtual Realm's most prosperous domain.
Every rule ensures that the Central Domain stays prosperous, eliminating any redundancy and untalented individuals.
His only complain was the insane income tax.
For all the income of a one-star establishment, one needed to pay a 30 percent income tax.
Most of the Virtual Domain didn't have tax, and some even offered exemptions and incentives.
Central Domain was the only arrogant one, asking for a 30 percent income tax right off the bat.
This insane tax was like cutting his flesh.
Basically, for every 100 Origin coins he laundered, 30 went to the Dimensional Alliance.
Furthermore, Maximus couldn't cheat and evade tax.
Besides the strict measures taken by the Dimensional Alliance, Maximus's goal was to launder money.
He couldn't even lower his income but only increase it.
Thinking of such a fate, Maximus quickly signed and processed various documents.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency. I hope for your successful business..."
