Chapter 174 Looting Spree
Chapter 174 Looting Spree
It had been a few days, and he still hadn\'t found any abyss source.
"It seems that it\'s quite rare..."
"Host, I\'ve found a tier 7 plant!" Tintin said excitedly.
After a few days without a harvest, there was finally something.
"Oh?" Maximus flew toward the place Tintin pointed with curiosity.
"A tier 7 Plant? Barely enough..." Maximus muttered as he put it into his storage.
"Sigh, it\'s quite a pity for this land," Tintin sighed.
"What\'s the matter?"
"Oh, the soil here is tier 7 abyss soil,"
"After purification, it could be a good fertilizer for the land."
"Unfortunately, it would be a waste of storage space..."
"Why not take it?" Maximus said as he began to pack up the soil.
"It\'s only wasted space, host, and it\'s not that valuable," Tintin said.
After all, it\'s merely a fertilizer; there is many alternative that can do much better.
"Anyway, it\'s also points,"
While collecting the soil, he thought of his empire.
With its barrenness, even with the tier 5 array.
It will still take hundreds of years to advance its soil to be able to grow a tier 5 spirit seed.
By now, it\'s only tier 2 soil, even with countless nourishing from the mana.
Although he can buy fertilizer, it\'s too expensive and not worth it.
Now there is free stuff in front of him, Maximus couldn\'t help but gear up.
"You\'re crazy, host," Tintin gave up persuading and just rolled her eyes.
"By the way, how big is your storage space, host?"
"As big as your imagination," Maximus just smirked.
The biggest storage space has a trillion cubic meters of space.
As for a small world, that\'s in a different category.
As for his system space, it has unlimited space.
...
Half an hour later,
Maximus dug up several million cubic meters of soil.
"Huh~"
"It\'s indeed satisfying to pick up money."
Although he can earn quadrillions every month, this kind of petty gain still felt good.
"Tintin, widen your range. From now on, include resources tier 4 and above."
As for those low-tier treasures from tier 3 and below?
Even He was too lazy to pick them up.
"Are you sure, host?"
"Yes, anyway, I can\'t find any abyss source now."
"Maybe we can find it while I pick resources."
"Oh, then there are a few tier 4 resources near us..."
"Lead the way."
...
Maximus\'s smile didn\'t vanish as he looked at the growing resources in his system space.
Whenever he passed, even the soil and rock were not missed.
As long as it reached tier 4, it would be put in the system space.
"Oh, is this a tier 5 dark abyss mine?"
"Put it in!"
"A tier 4 quartz crystal?"
"It\'s just for design host, it has no other use!"
"That\'s good too. Put it in!"
"What is this weird-looking tree forest?"
"That\'s the forest of the blood abyss. It\'s useless except for its fragrance when burnt."
"Then it can be used to cook barbecue. Put it in!"
"What is this dark shining liquid?"
"This is a golden abyss lake. It\'s good for raising fish."
"Put it in!"
"This is a vine-devouring stems. It\'s good for creating papers."
"Put it in!"
"This is a stone, is a uh... heavy?"
"Nice, it can be used as a wall. Put it in!"
"This grass... Uh? It\'s soft to step on?"
"Also, include that!"
"This sand is good for making windows?"
Tintin already grew dizzy with Maximus\'s looting spree.
She didn\'t even bother naming what kind of material it is.
As long as it\'s tier 4 and above and has some use, her host would take it in.
"This is also..."
...
In the City of Arcana:
While Maximus was on a looting spree.
A bunch of students watched in fascination.
"I don\'t know why I\'m so entertained, even if he picks trash items."
"A trash item in our eyes is already a treasure to many."
"Looking at the quantity of the things he\'s got, why do I get jealous..."
"Maybe it\'s because it\'s more than what we\'ve earned in a few thousand years?"
"Sigh, I didn\'t know that trash is so valuable."
"Why don\'t I also go to the Abyss Realm to be a trash picker?"
"First, you\'ve got to have the strength to protect yourself."
"Second, you\'ve got to have some massive storage ring or a unique small world you can carry."
"Hey, I\'m just dreaming..."
The student then thought of his feeble strength, although he can overwhelm others in the same tier.
Skipping tiers is still out of his ability.
Looking at Maximus easily obliterating tier 7 monsters like it\'s nothing.
The student shuddered at the thought of going to the Abyss Realm.
"Tsk, anyway, that Maximus has already fallen in the rankings."
"Heh, it\'s still better than many; after all, he\'s still in the top ten."
Maximus had already fallen to rank 8 because of his inactivity in fighting Abyss monsters.
Although Abyss materials can also give points, it\'s not enough.
...
Maximus was still on a looting spree.
His system was already filled with all kinds of resources, just like a small world.
If it weren\'t for the Abyss energy that still hadn\'t been removed, it would truly be a paradise.
When Maximus was about to move on to the next resource, he was alerted by Tintin.
"Host, I found the Abyss source that you\'re looking for!"
"Finally, I\'m getting tired of picking resources," Maximus muttered, stretching his body.
"But..."
"But what?"
"It should be a tier 7 Abyss source," Tintin said gloomily.
With her scan, he noticed a dense pack of tier 7 Abyss monsters.
Furthermore, mixed with them were a few tier 8 Abyss monsters.
"That\'s more like it!" Maximus grinned.
Abyss monsters are quite different from powerhouses in the Ethereal Realm.
Usually, once you reach tier 7 and form a domain, you start to study laws.
But Abyss monsters only have physical and energy capabilities comparable to their tier.
It\'s like cannon fodder forcefully upgraded.
"I don\'t know how I\'ll stand against a tier 8 Abyss monster..." Maximus breathed as he readied for battle.
Looking at the dense group of Abyss monsters, he smiled.
"Let\'s begin..."
*shush*
Maximus teleported and cast a spell.
"Disperse."
Looking at the tier 7 monsters still standing fine, he grinned.
"It\'s not enough, huh?"
"Condensed... Ignite... Explosion..."
Boom!
A huge explosion filled with multiple elements bombarded those tier 7 monsters.
"Not enough, there is more..."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Dense explosions happened all over the place like it\'s doomsday.
"Not enough..."
"Not enough...."
Seeing that he couldn\'t kill tier 8 Abyss monsters, Maximus frowned.
His brain overloaded, remembering all his spell mastery, as a myriad of spells came out from him.
"End it for me!"
A dragon filled with all his mana capacity, possessing all his elements, rampaged on the field.
Whenever it passed through, it disintegrated Abyss monsters like toys.
The tier 8 abyss monster also began to be damaged.
"Still not enough..."
"Too slow..."
Maximus emptied his mana again and again, condensing elemental dragons of destruction.
Every second, every drop, multiple energy dragons were condensed.
If the Abyss had a bit of conscience, it may exclaim that Maximus was definitely cheating.
Is the Abyss source the one generating monsters, or are you?
The number of energy dragons made them look like densely packed snakes, sending shiver to anyone watching.
Soon, the explosion of magic subsided.
What was left was Maximus flying silently and a deep hole that looked more like an abyss.
"Tell me where the Abyss source is..." Maximus said coldly, still affected by his outburst.
"H-host?"
"Is that still you?"
"Are you possessed by some Abyss monster?"
"Do you still recognize your cute Tintin?"
"Hmmm?" Maximus questioned why Tintin was still blabbering nonsense instead of guiding him the way.
Tintin suddenly shuddered and did her job.
"This way, Host!"
After getting the Abyss source, Aka the World Crystal Fragment, he took a deep breath.
"Huh~"
"So that\'s what invincibility is..." Maximus finally went back to normal.
The power he showed earlier was so overwhelming that he was nearly consumed by it.
"So close, I need to train my will after I get out of here," Maximus thought.
"Host, how are you?"
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes," Maximus gave her a smile.
"Huh~ Fortunately, you\'re fine, Host."
"I thought that something happened to you!"
"How can something happen to me?" He teased.
"That\'s right, that\'s the Host I know!" Tintin flew happily.
"Hmmm."
After calming down, he finally began to look at the World Crystal Fragment.
[World Crystal Fragment: Part of the world\'s origin, polluted by the Abyss. Tier 7 ultimate treasure]
"It\'s really tier 7..." Remembering his state earlier, he couldn\'t help but shudder.
That power that obliterated everything, even those tier 8 Abyss monsters, disintegrated like the rest.
Shaking his head, he studied the World Crystal Fragment to see how fast its absorption rate was.
"10...50...300...600...900...1000."
"So it\'s 1000 units of energy per second," Maximus concluded.
The units of energy are equivalent to 1 system point.
This means that, provided enough energy, he can absorb over 80 million system points per day.
"It\'s really a treasure."
