Chapter 266 Shadow Hunter Outpost Tour
?In Shadow Hunter Outpost:
Maximus and Skye suddenly appeared in an underground part of the outpost.
"Huh~"
Maximus and Skye begin to adjust themselves to the atmosphere of the abyss realm
"I wonder how the progress of the outpost is," Skye muttered as she looked around.
"Let's look for the others first," Maximus said.
After they left, his family should have gone to the Arcane continent and straight to the Abyss realm.
"Hmmm."
Maximus quickly called Andrew to the underground base.
"Guild Leader!" Andrew greeted.
Nodding at Andrew, Maximus looked at the person beside him.
"I didn't expect you to arrive here this early."
"I just came here 5 years ago; it seems that you're out of seclusion," Silas greeted.
Maximus already knew that Silas had arrived here earlier.
He only acted surprised to hide the fact that he had been to the Etherium realm.
"How is the Abyss realm so far?" Maximus asked as they walked to the surface.
"It's been alright," Silas shook his head.
Coming to the Abyss realm, he had the support of the Shadow Hunter Guild.
All the items and information were already provided by him.
How can the environment here still stump him?
Even the crystal merit that he needed was readily provided to him. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
It can be said that coming here is no different from coming home.
"How about Ragnar? Did he also come here?"
"Yes, he was with his father, fighting in the Purgatory layer."
"It's a pity, Do you think we can invite him to join the guild?"
"It should be impossible," Silas said after some thought.
"Oh..."
Soon, they walked toward the surface.
Different from decades ago, there were more runic lines, architecture, and arrays around.
"When do you think the outpost would be finished?"
"In about 10-15 years, it should be done," Silas estimated.
Coming here, he was the main organizer of the outpost construction beside Eternal Voyager.
Thus he knew everything from the inside and outside of the outpost, and when would it be finished.
"So soon?!" Maximus was a little shocked.
He thought that it would take at least 50 years more before the outpost would be finished.
He didn't expect that it would be finished soon.
"It seems that having you here is indeed right," Maximus praised, patting Silas.
"It's nothing,"
...
Soon, a few months had passed
With Maximus' connections all over the Abyss, his family was quickly transferred to the Shadow Hunters Guild without delay.
"Husband!"
"Dad!"
"Father-in-law!"
Even if there is, it was only limited to their internal use and not suitable for outsiders.
Because of this, many people were jealous of Maximus.
After promoting the Shadow coin, Maximus can arbitrarily set its value and print more money as he wanted.
Of course, one wrong misstep and such currency will crash.
Furthermore, with the function of Crystal Merits, it would never be obsolete no matter what.
Besides the food, the entertainment section also had music, dancing, games, movies, etc.
Unfortunately, all of it was run by puppets.
There was a lack of manpower everywhere.
Maximus can't waste it just for entertainment, at least right now.
Finally, the last layer of the outpost is the barrier and defense section.
This section is an unmanned part of the outpost, solely being controlled by Eternal Voyager.
It is equipped with dozens of heavenly grade tier 9 weapons capable of fighting back to back with a tier 9 abyss monster.
(Mortal, Heaven, Dimensional, Ultimate)
It can even disintegrate tier 8 lord-level abyss monsters without an abyss source.
Unfortunately, each time these weapons are fired, it is equivalent to burning money.
Any harvest afterward would not even be worth anything comparable to the ammunition it fired.
There are also thousands of mortal grade tier 9 weapons all around the outpost for regular defense.
Unlike the heavenly grade weapons, these weapons do not consume much energy.
The self-generation of the outpost's core is enough to maintain the usual consumption of these weapons.
As for dimensional-grade weapons?
Although Maximus is rich, he is not that rich.
Dimensional-grade weapons were already on another level.
They were too expensive that Maximus could advance to tier 8 before even being able to afford them.
After visiting the defense layer, Maximus and his family came back to their residence.
They didn't bother to visit the underground layer of the outpost as it was not yet finished.
Moreover, it was mainly support facilities, storage, energy section, and such.
Looking at their new home, his family couldn't help but sigh.
From the remote island in the Curse Continent to the most prosperous land in the Arcane Continent.
And now, they were in such a grand outpost in the Abyss realm.
Looking at their husband/father, who took them through all of it, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
All of the things that they had right now were given by such a man like it was nothing.
Thinking of it, they couldn't help but ask if their father/husband needed something.
"Do I need something?" Maximus was taken aback by their question.
"I don't need anything. As long as I have you, I will be content."
"Seriously, we just want to help you," Isabella said seriously.
"That's right, Dad. You've always given to us. We also want to help you," Lily agreed.
"Furthermore, we are also quite strong. We are not the ones in the past that needed your protection from everything," Lily continued.
The others also looked at him seriously, waiting for his answer.
Even his in-laws and grandchildren fell into silence, waiting for his answer.
Looking at them, Maximus fell into deep thought.
Thinking about it, his wives, children, and grandchildren had grown up.
They were already tier 7 and had awakened their special physique.
In the Abyss realm, they should be in the top ranks when it comes to strength.
Maximus didn't need to pamper them any longer.
They also had their own thoughts and needs; he didn't need to suppress it and protect them from everything.
After deep thought, he said, "I need money and a huge amount of it."
