The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 346 Etherium Market

Reaching Tier 4 Sky Knight, Finmir quickly relocated his family to an inner place of the empire.

As he attained higher strength, Finmir naturally desired a better environment for himself and his family.

With faster administrative processes, Finmir managed to move within only a few weeks.

"We will live here from now on," Finmir declared upon seeing their new home.

"Wow, it's much bigger than our previous house!"

"Not only that, but the mana density here is also much higher."

However, upon entering, instead of celebrating, his wife frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's too empty..." She looked around, unsatisfied.

Besides the array, the house didn't even have a table or chair.

"Don't worry about that; we have money. We can buy whatever we want," Finmir said proudly.

The house had been given to them for free. Because of his advancement, no money had been spent, and he still had his 700,000 crystal credits.

The benefits of the empire were truly great.

As long as you had enough strength, you could get whatever you wanted.

After settling his family, Finmir suddenly noticed a new app appearing in the empire system.

"Etherium Market?"

Puzzled, Finmir curiously opened the app.

[Etherium Market:

Materials...

Weapons...

Potions...

Food...

Puppets...

...]

"A real market?!" Finmir muttered excitedly.

In the past, the Empire's token also had a market.

However, without a unified arrangement, it was quite chaotic.

Except for those rare and higher-tier resources, not much was sold in it.

However, seeing the items sold in the Etherium market, it seemed that even mortal-level resources were sold.

Furthermore, the app offered delivery services.

His wife, upon seeing it, was excited.

Originally, they had planned to shop around the city.

But now that there was an online shop with complete items, they couldn't help but go on a shopping spree.

...

Around the empire, there was also a carnival.

Although only about 30 percent of people got the new empire system.

The appearance of the Etherium market still quickly spread.

Having the resources of the entire empire at your fingertips was thrilling to think about.

As for worrying about fraud, they didn't worry.

This was the app created by the empire itself.

It wasn't some merchant who would be greedy for their little money.

It's not just the ordinary people celebrating the carnival.

Various merchants who received the news about the application a few months prior were smiling from ear to ear.

"Hurry up, there are still over 20,000 orders to go!" Hagrid shouted.

Originally, his business was lackluster, without much exposure.

But the appearance of the Etherium market was a lifesaver.

The redundant products he sold were so popular in other parts of the Empire that he nearly ran out of stock within a few hours.

Thanking the emperor in his heart, he urged his employees to hasten their work.

"Faster! There will be a big bonus if we finish our quota for the day!"

...

As the merchants were scrambling for their piece of the pie.

Doran and various officials who cooked up the pie looked at the growing graph on the screen.

"Chief Minister, the activity on the Etherium Market is exploding."

"In just a few hours, over five hundred quintillion crystal credits were exchanged!" the person monitoring the screen said joyfully.

This is over hundreds of quintillions in just a few hours.

Imagining such a large amount of money flowing into the application they created, their smiles were uncontrollable.

Furthermore, it's only about 30 percent of people who have the new empire system.

After everyone gets the empire system and gets used to the Etherium Market,

They guessed that the daily transactions would increase at least thousands of times.

"Don't celebrate too early. If a problem crops up, the consequences would be disastrous," Doran said calmly.

It's only a few hundred quintillion.

Knowing His Majesty spent at least septillions worth of crystal credits every year, a few hundred quintillions were nothing.

The Etherium Market was created not to earn money but to make money flow.

This has become a problem for a while; the value of credits in the empire was falling.

If it's not solved, it would greatly delay the development of the Moonlight Empire.

"Don't worry, Chief Minister. We already checked the inscription program; there should be nothing wrong."

"Hmm, that's good. What about the other applications? Did you review them?"

"Yes, so far, about over a hundred applications passed the guideline protocol."

"When should we release them, Chief Minister?"

"Wait until all people in the empire have the Empire system."

"Adding more applications now would only add to the confusion," Doran instructed.

...

A few years later...

"Huh~ Finally finished."

After equipping all his people with the Moonlight Empire system and creating some spares, Maximus sighed in relief.

Although he could split his mind to create the system, the work involved was still too much for him.

Creating over a hundred quadrillion systems at one time was harder than fighting day and night for years.

Of course, the benefits were too much for him to complain.

After equipping every person in the Moonlight Empire with the Empire system, the system points he received skyrocketed.

From over 1 quintillion, now he received 12-13 quintillion system points daily.

Besides the increase in population and consecutive breakthroughs due to the mana bank.

His unlimited mana finally found a bottomless hole that it couldn't fill.

Just the mana that everyone produced all the time gave him ten quintillion system points.

The empire system was like an ultimate backdoor, using the body of its host for his mana to flow and absorb.

The people didn't even know that mana had been flowing in them all the time and was being collected by their emperor.

With over ten quintillion system points daily, the excitement in his eyes couldn't help but flare up.

Various crazy experiments that he shelved couldn't help but emerge.

Especially various stalled experiments Valoros did in the past.

Like the artificial physique and potential enhancer, the study of creating and manipulating dimensions, the application of the amalgamation of will, etc.

Not only that, but he could also start to study the laws deeper.

With over ten quintillion system points daily, those laws finally didn't look so scary.

With enough persistence, it would only take him hundreds of years to study the essence of a law to perfection.

With over hundreds of thousands of laws, it would only take him a few million years to advance to Tier 9.

Of course, this is not the end.

Maximus would want to accumulate more foundation for the generation of system points before officially starting to advance to tier 9.

After all, to advance millions of years later was too slow.

However, studying one or two laws was still possible.

For now, the expansion of the Empire was still a priority.

Before that, however, Maximus needed to solve two problems: money and land.

First is the land; Maximus will need to start putting it on the agenda.

The population of the empire was rapidly expanding.

In just a few years, tens of quadrillions were born in the empire, making the population reach 130 quadrillions.

With the expansion of the population comes the rapid occupation of land.

Although the Curse Continent is enough to accommodate a million times that amount without problem.

It's better to solve this problem now than later.

After all, people, especially powerful ones, need space.

From farms, laboratories, factories, entertainments, academies, etc.

It would be too late if he only started solving it once the problem cropped up.

Furthermore, he also planned to poach people from other continents.

Even if he only poached a percentage of their population, the whole Curse continent wouldn't be enough to accommodate them.

The second thing he needed to solve was money.

The empire's expenses had been growing faster than the population.

Now, he needed to spend at least 2 quintillion dimensional coins yearly to sustain its current development speed.

He only had a few tens of quintillion income every year from various transactions.

If this continued, he would be bankrupt before he even achieved his goals.

Solving the problem of money is a must.

He couldn't just ask for money from his son when the day came.

Thinking about it, it's time to set up an official shop in the Myriad World Mall.

The dimensional library was already hidden, so it couldn't see the light of the world.

Setting up a formal shop, where he could show publicly, should be a good disguise in the future.

After all, his source of money still needed a disguise.

The only problem was what to sell.

His empire was still too weak to produce anything of worth.

Even if he were to sell its produce on other continents, it may not be able to sell well, much less in the Myriad World Mall.

As for the Etherforce Reactor, he was still working on those.

Up till now, it was still stuck on a 100 million discharge speed limit.

Without a breakthrough, Maximus was too lazy to mass-

produce it.

Without thinking of a solution, Maximus turned to his next step.

His wives had been urging him to open the empire and start their grand wedding.

Maximus promised that after all citizens had their system, the empire would be open.

Now that everything was prepared, Maximus had no reason to delay anymore.

"It's time to open the empire."
