The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 337 System Mastery

"Codexia is a world personally crafted by the Emperor using the Moonlight Engine."

"Codexia is an infinite open world made of inscriptions and runes, created to enlighten and teach us about it."

"Furthermore, playing this game could gradually strengthen your soul," David explained.

"The Emperor..." Draven fell into thought.

From birth to death, everyone in the Moonlight Empire was marked by this so-called Emperor.

It can be said that the Emperor is their sustenance of faith, the God of the Moonlight Empire.

Although somewhat skeptical of some of the Emperor's achievements.

Draven still had to give credit to this Emperor for managing the former Nexus Continent like this.

"So what about this game world? How do we make money?"

"There are many ways to make money, but the main way is through currency exchange."

"The currency you have in this virtual world could be directly cashed in through your bank, at a 1-to-1 ratio."

"So much? So, Codexia's money is equivalent to real-world currency?!" Draven was a little shocked.

Just by rough guess, Draven knew the money needed to run things here was immense.

This added another halo to the Emperor again, giving the people an imagination of unlimited wealth.

"Don't think it's easy to earn money in this game."

"Your brothers and sisters in the game are just a small guild barely getting by."

"We can only earn thousands of magic crystals per day, grinding day and night."

"Is it really that hard?" Draven shrugged his shoulders, undaunted.

With countless epochs of knowledge, if not for his limited strength and various nonsensical rules, making money would be as easy as picking.

He was a divine forger, a wealthy profession that regards money as dirt.

Draven didn't think that a mere game could stop him.

...

Teleporting to the Ancient Temple, Draven quickly registered in the game.

[Alias: Divine Forge

Level: 0

Class: None

Wealth: 0

Inscription Tab]

In the game, Draven looked around curiously.

It was a forest with the most common resources, from stones, rocks, trees, grass, and such.

It was all mortal tier that one could see everywhere in the world.

"How do I make money in this?"

His brother didn't tell him how the game mechanics work.

He said that he would know once he was inside.

Just when he was in a daze, a shadow flashed past behind his back.

With lightning reflexes, he kicked the shadow out, quickly killing it.

"A horned rabbit?"

As the rabbit disappeared, a coin spawned out.

[+1 copper coin]

"This is it?"

Picking up the copper coin, he was speechless.

Even if he killed all year round, he would never earn enough money for his resources.

Seeing that he was in no further danger, he tapped on the inscription tab.

[Inscription Tab:

Please select the profession before proceeding.]

"Profession?"

Soon, a list of professions popped up for him to choose from.

Without hesitation, he chose blacksmith.

[Divine Forge

Level: 0

Class: Tier 0 Blacksmith

Wealth: 1 copper coin

Inscription Tab]

Tapping on the Inscription tab again, a list was presented in front of him.

[Inscription tab:

Minerals: 0

Herbs: 0

Fire: 0

Weapon: 0

...]

"Huh? What is this?"

After clicking on 'material,' a list of tier 0 materials popped up in front of him.

From iron, copper, steel, and such, every mortal material was on the list.

Behind every material was a progress bar.

Like Iron and copper, it was already at a hundred percent.

[Iron (tier 0): 100%

Cost: 10 copper coin per ingot

(Could no longer inscribe)]

Tapping on aluminum with 0 percent, a smile appeared on his face.

[Aluminum (tier 0): 0%

Cost: 1000 copper coin per ingot

Solo Inscription/Joint Inscription]

[Solo Inscription: Taking on the inscription of the material personally

Reward: 100% progress would make the material free; level-up guarantee until level 100.

Note: The generated product couldn't be sold.

Note: You can't inscribe other material until 100% progress.

Warning: the higher the progress, the harder the inscription.]

[Joint Inscription: Taking on public inscription tasks.

Reward: Discount based on percentage up to 10 percent; Experience based on percentage.

Note: Multiple inscriptions can be taken.]

"Huh~ So this is where the money lies."

If he could inscribe a complete set of materials, he could mass produce an item with zero cost.

The note only said that the generated material couldn't be sold.

After he created a weapon, it was a different item altogether.

As for joint inscription, he never considered it.

Although it would be faster to accumulate experience, it was not cost-effective.

Looking for a safe place, he set up a temporary base.

After choosing the solo inscription task.

A dense array of unrecognizable inscriptions lay in front of him.

Although it was unfamiliar, according to the instructions, he only needed to trace it.

"Such a convenient thing?"

Even if a kid could do this thing, how hard could it be?

Placing his hand on the screen, he felt a little bit of his soul being sucked out as he traced his hands.

After a few minutes, he felt his soul depleted.

[Warning: Soul energy reaches the threshold. Please rest...]

Looking at his progress, he smiled wryly.

[Aluminum (tier 0): 0.1%]

It had only been a few minutes, and already, his soul felt exhausted.

No wonder there was a warning advising against taking solo inscription tasks.

For a mortal without any potions, special apparatus, and such, it would take a day to recover soul energy.

To inscribe a tier 0 material solo as a mortal would take a thousand days.

In the case that you take on a solo inscription task at every level, you would need over 300 years to level up to 100.

"Tsk, tsk, what a scam."

"Fortunately, I'm different," Draven smiled.

Mobilizing his battle will, he quickly regenerated his soul energy.

Feeling replenished, he smiled.

"Let's continue."

...

In the Imperial Castle:

Maximus slowly opened his eyes and looked through his system panel.

[Myriad World Mall: Perfect Mastery.]

"It's done..."

Although happy, Maximus was a little disappointed.

A few years ago, once the population hit a hundred quadrillion.

The amalgamation of will he receive also hit its peak, reaching 1 quintillion per day.

With over half of the population reaching tier 1, he could gather over 500 quadrillion units of amalgamation of will.

With about 1 percent reaching tier 2, another hundred quadrillion units of amalgamation of will was in his pocket.

Plus, the various powerhouses, from soldiers to top students.

It could be said that reaching a quintillion units of amalgamation of will was expected.

As soon as Maximus reached a quintillion, he put the myriad world mall into the agenda.

From 100 quintillion for initial mastery to 800 quintillion for perfect mastery, Maximus spent 1,500 quintillion in total.

The problem was perfect mastery was already the limit the system could achieve.

Maximus would need to comprehend it himself if he wanted to master it further.

Moreover, although he mastered it through perfection.

The security encryption of the transdimensional system was still solid.

Maximus thought that after studying the Myriad World Mall, he could arbitrarily set his money to any number he liked.

Who knew he couldn't even increase the star rating of his shop?

Even changing the font and color of the shop name was impossible.

It seemed that the transdimensional system he mastered was different altogether.

Fortunately, studying the Myriad World Mall to perfection still had its benefits.

First is the security.

Maximus could encrypt his shop with various walls to make his coordinates untraceable.

Unless it's the creator itself, no one could find his shop coordinates.

Even in his rune inscription, Maximus could incorporate such security.

The rune language he was using in the Moonlight Engine was related to his ultimate dimensional physique.

Rune is the innate language of the world.

After becoming a tier 9 runemaster, Maximus created his own rune language related to his own physique.

Using it, the flow at which the Etherforge Reactor absorbed his mana shot up to a hundred times.

Now, it could produce 100 million units of energy or low magic crystal per day.

Without such security, he wouldn't dare to present such a rune language in the world.

After others mastered it, one could still steal his mana without his permission.

Although he had an unlimited amount of it, it was still daunting to think that someone was stealing from his backyard.

The security encryption knowledge he just mastered came at the right time.

After setting it up, one must know the core inscription he put in to decode his rune language.

As for the second benefit, it's creating a system.

Not a full-blown system that could bind others remotely, but a castrated version that needed some physical device.

With this knowledge, Maximus planned to upgrade the identity token of his people.

Not only can it contain more functions, it would also further bind the people to him.

As for the third benefit, Maximus managed to get a glimpse of the 'Family and Power system.'

In the past, looking at the system core program, it was just a bunch of garbled codes.

But now, like understanding programming, he could understand it a bit.

This is a major milestone for his future, wanting to study or even upgrade his system.
