The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 345 Using the Empire System

A few months later, in Lake City.

Finmir, a peak tier 3 Earth Knight, queued up to get the newly updated Moonlight Empire System.

After a few hours of lining up, it was finally his turn.

"Put your hand in this," the officer instructed.

As Finmir extended his hands toward the device, a blob of energy penetrated his body.

Feeling it touch his soul, Finmir panicked a little.

Fortunately, a familiar panel appeared in front of him.

[Do you agree to bind the Moonlight Empire System?]

"Agree," Finmir muttered without hesitation.

After being indoctrinated by the empire, Finmir's adaptability was top-notch.

Seeing the weird system binding his soul, instead of fear, he was filled with excitement.

[Binding complete.]

"Next."

Before he could further look through the system, the next person in line came.

...

Exiting the City Hall, Finmir returned to his residence in the middle of Lake City.

"Finmir!"

"Father!"

His wife and children greeted him.

"I'm back."

"Did you receive the New Empire token?" His wife asked curiosity.

Due to the limited production of the Empire system, the first ones to be given were those of class 1 citizens.

A month passed, and it was finally the turn of class 2 citizens.

Finmir was one of the first few class 2 citizens who finally got the new empire system.

As for his wife and children, their appointment was still a few weeks away.

"Yes, and it's not a token, it's a system," Finmir explained.

Hearing the word "system," his wife and children became puzzled.

"What system? Runes?Array Formation?" they asked, searching for?markings on his body.

"It's more advanced than that," Finmir said, still amazed that the new empire system could bind his soul.

Knowing that the new empire system would be bound to the soul, her wife became worried for a while.

She was worried that this was just an alternative slave seal that would be imposed upon them.

"Don't worry; I could unbind the system whenever I wanted.

"Furthermore, didn't you know that our Empire, His Majesty, wouldn't do something detrimental to us?"

Hearing this, his wife heaved a sigh of relief.

Thinking that she was just a mere mortal decades ago, she couldn't help but laugh at her thoughts.

An alternative slave seal?

If the empire needed her to be a slave or something similar, she would be willing to do so without question.

The empire had given her everything she could ever imagine: a home, a family, enough clothes and food, etc.

She wouldn't be even alive right now if not for the empire.

Being already in her 60s, she would have long died of natural causes before she could even complain.

Now, being an official mage with a lifespan of 150 years, she was still in her prime.

Furthermore, with the current prosperity of the empire, it was just the beginning.

...

After comforting his wife and children, Finmir went into a room and studied the system.

[Moonlight Empire System loading...]

Curious about the Moonlight Bank, Finmir quickly tapped on it.

[Credit Bank]

[Mana Bank]

"Mana bank?"

Finmir already knew about the credit bank.

In the past, the Empire's token could show your credit balance and be used for various transactions.

Finmir guessed that it should be the same, only with more advanced functions.

However, Mana Bank?

Such a term made him curious and excited.

After a detailed inspection, the light in his eyes shone as he felt euphoria flowing through his body.

Just as he thought, the mana bank was just as its name suggests.

A place where one could borrow mana.

Although one couldn't store mana and use it for transactions, borrowing mana was all he needed.

He was already at the peak of tier 3 Earth Knight.

With just a nudge, he could advance to tier 4 Sky Knight and become a glorious class 1 citizen with a thousand-year lifespan.

However, this little nudge was like a cliff, locking him in place for over a decade.

The Moonlight Empire's mana density is only about tier 5 to 6, and this is only in the center of the empire.

For peripheral places like Lake City, the place barely even has tier 4 mana density.

To advance to tier 4, Finmir needed to go to a city with higher mana density or rent a special mana room.

Going through other cities was troublesome, requiring various credentials and approvals.

Finmir had applied for it a few years ago, but until now there was still no news.

He didn't even know what the problem was or what he lacked for such an application to stall for a few years.

As for renting a special mana room, it was too expensive.

With their expenses and current income, it would take Finmir a few decades to save enough.

Although it was already fast by today's standards, Finmir would welcome a quicker method.

Thus, knowing the function of the mana bank, the excitement he felt was incomparable.

Informing his family about the news, Finrir quickly went into seclusion.

Feeling the shackles in his body, he operated the mana bank and began borrowing mana.

[Scanning the current state.]

[Current state: Peak tier 3 Earth Knight]

[Reason for borrowing mana: Breakthrough]

[Estimated chance of success: 90 percent]

[Application successful.]

[Can borrow up to 1,000,000 units of mana]

[Do you proceed?]

"Huh? It can also estimate my chance of success?"

Seeing that the Moonlight Empire System could scan his state and even estimate his success rate made Finmir amazed.

"But 90 percent? It's quite high."

Based on his estimate, he barely even had a 60 percent success rate.

Yet the system estimated a total of 90 percent success rate.

However, thinking that the system could continuously input mana into him, Finmir thought it was reasonable.

This was equivalent to those realm-breaking potions and treasures that could increase the breakthrough rate.

Having such a treasure bound to his soul, Finmir thought he was like the protagonist with cheat depicted in those novels.

But thinking that everyone in the empire could have such a system soon, he could only be amazed.

Checking all omissions, Finmir initiated his breakthrough.

Feeling the shackles preventing him from breaking through, Finmir snorted.

"Break for me!"

Using the mana in his body, he began to grind the shackles bit by bit.

After a few minutes, feeling the deficiency, the mana bank automatically regenerated his mana, making it back to full.

Seeing it work, Finmir continued to grind the shackle.

...

Soon, a few weeks later, Finmir slowly opened his eyes.

"Tier 4!" Finmir clenched his fist, feeling his newly found power.

However, thinking that he had spent 300,000 units of mana, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

It seemed that his foundation was more fragile than he thought.

Without the continuous supply of mana, he could only dream of advancing in his previous state.

Seeing the debt of hundreds of thousands of crystal credits, the pain in his heart was immense.

To rent a special mana room, one only needed a hundred thousand crystal credits.

Yet he used three times that amount just to breakthrough.

Fortunately, there was the encouragement bonus.

Breaking through tier 4 alone would grant him a million crystal credits.

Thinking of such an amount, even his newly found strength didn't sound so amazing.

This was already generational wealth.

It would take him hundreds of years to even save this amount.

However, thinking of the cumbersome administrative process, his joy dampened.

Over a decade ago, after he advanced to tier 3, it took a few years to receive the bonus of 100,000 crystal credits.

Now, with a larger amount, Finmir guessed it could only take longer.

Even the advancement of his status to become a class 1 citizen would also be delayed.

He was unlike those from private academies who had connections and only needed a few months to process everything.

He was just one of the hundreds of quadrillion people in the Empire.

Advancing to tier 4 is just the beginning, barely touching the upper strata of the empire.

Now Finmir could only wait and savor his current strength.

Suddenly, Finmir thought of the system.

He still hadn't browsed it entirely; maybe there was a solution hidden in it.

Taking his time, Finmir looked at the various changes in the system one by one.

...

Soon, after a few hours of searching, he finally found what he was looking for.

Scrolling down, he saw what he was looking for.

[Auto Update.]

Tapping on it, the system did another scan on him.

Feeling the changes in his tier, the information of his current tier and status changed.

[Congratulations on reaching tier 4 sky knight on your own.

You are hereby rewarded with 1,000,000 crystal credits.]

[Congratulations on reaching a major milestone.

You are hereby promoted to become a class 1 citizen.]
