Chapter 391 Sterling Family
"Your name is?" Suddenly, a luxuriously dressed man noticed the commotion and asked Maximus his name.
"Magnus," Maximus said, using his fake name.
"I'm Otto Sterling. I heard that you want to come to the Special Gambling Area?"
"Why don't we go together?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the surname Sterling, Maximus became a little interested.
The Sterlings are one of the families ruling a tier 12 dimension entirely.
With only thousands of tier 12 dimensions, it can be said that the Sterling Family is at the top of the hierarchy.
The Sterling family is one of the largest treasure distributors of the business alliance.
Maximus paid attention to this family because of his need for Ultimate treasures.
After solidifying his foundation from tier 7 to tier 8 by absorbing all the necessary ultimate treasure.
Maximus plans to add all available elements and laws in their plane of existence to the 'Origin' Manual.
This is a long and expensive journey, requiring over a hundred thousand treasures in every realm.
After reaching tier 9, he is no longer dependent on the laws of the Etherium realm.
His body is like its own dimension, self-containing and self-creating.
Thus, no matter what elements and laws he adds to his practice, it's irrelevant to the Etherium Realm's current foundation.
Snapping out of his daze, Maximus quickly accepted Otto's invitation.
Talking about what just happened, Otto couldn't help but be amazed.
"You really won in that slot machine?" Otto asked in disbelief.
"It's just luck," Maximus nodded in confirmation.
Shifting the topic, Maximus began to ask about the special gambling area.
"The Special Nexus Gambling Area is the battlefield of cheaters," Otto said thoughtfully.
There is no way Otto would believe that this man who called himself Magnus just won that slot machine with luck.
In every game, there is a way to cheat.
Even in this seemingly perfect casino where everything was suppressed to a minimum.
Tier 12 treasure, Ultimate physique, Ultimate grade technique, Dimensional Master Authority—there are too many.
To maintain order, the casino was divided into two sections: one for normal individuals and one for cheaters.
The 100 octillion was a threshold, the starting chip for these cheaters to begin gambling.
Possessing the ability to cheat in this seemingly perfect casino meant they could offer more than just money.
"Then how does the Special Gambling Area work if all the players are cheaters?"
"Simply put, they either don't play the game or make it harder to cheat," Otto said.
There is nothing that can prevent a cheater; it can only be suppressed or left unused.
As Otto explained the ins and outs of the Special Gambling Area, Maximus felt as if he had been transported to a different virtual world.
Inside was a vast virtual world filled with luxury that had nothing to do with gambling.
Food, wine, calming music—this place looked more like a paradise than a gambling area.
"Welcome to the Virtual Fortune Domain," Otto welcomed.
Could it be that Magnus also has an Origin Grade Physique?
However, thinking of its rarity, he quickly dismissed the thought.
Maybe it's the influence of some treasure? Or perhaps Magnus has a physique infinitely close to Origin Grade Physique.
He didn't dare to imagine Magnus possessing an Origin Physique at all.
Throughout all the dimensions, there are fewer than 10 people possessing such a physique.
Yet through all the coincidences, he met one when he was going outside?
Otto would rather believe that Maximus had a tier 12 ultimate treasure than an Origin Grade Physique.
"Let's go there..." After scanning the place, Maximus quickly found an interesting game.
"Oh? Planetary chess? This is good!" Otto's eyes lit up seeing Magnus choose such a game.
Planetary chess is a game played by two players vying for the supremacy of the planet.
Using the chess pieces they pick, they could vie for supremacy only through planning and scheming.
No treasure, alien knowledge, or outside power could be used.
The player can only guide the chess piece they choose through some induction.
Coming to the place, they saw a game that had just ended.
"Hiss, how scheming! How did you think of that? A villain stealing the protagonist's mother as his wife? How insane!"
"It's a disgusting style of play! Who even allowed this?" The loser complained as he saw millions of Origin coins out of his pocket.
If converted, a single Origin coin is worth about 1 septillion dimensional coins.
This means that he just lost 1 nonillion worth of dimensional coins.
Thinking that he just lost his life savings due to a single game, he nearly went crazy.
"Hehe, you're just a loser! Just a few little tricks and you collapse!" the winner, Ysgramor, laughed loudly, marveling at his wisdom.
"Who else?!" Seeing the money fall out of thin air, Ysgramor couldn't help but be addicted, wanting to play more games.
"Can I play?" Maximus squeezed through the crowd and asked with a light smile.
"You? Hahaha, you're welcome!"
"How about we bet 1 million Origin coins, like in the previous game?" Seeing another fool come to him, Ysgramor couldn't help but be excited.
Ysgramor possesses a broken tier 12 treasure, the Destiny's Compass.
Its function is to see the countless possible fragments of the future.
Unfortunately, because it is broken, he can only look through some future fragments of a tier 9 dimension.
However, in this game, where they only use a mortal planet, it's more than enough.
With countless possible futures as his guide, he can be like a god, interfering with the destiny of the world with his fingertips.
Otto quickly told Maximus about Ysgramor's treasure, persuading him to not be reckless.
To this, Maximus just shook his head.
Countless possible futures?
If they had the consciousness and thinking speed of a tier 11 powerhouse, he might be scared.
With the thinking speed of a mortal, Ysgramor could only process thousands of future fragments at most.
With him decoding all the possibilities millions of epochs each second, how could he lose?
However, thinking that he didn't even have a single Origin coin, he was a little embarrassed for a while.
