n?In Shadow Hunter Outpost:

nMaximus and Skye suddenly appeared in an underground part of the outpost.

n“Huh~”

nMaximus and Skye begin to adjust themselves to the atmosphere of the abyss realm

n“I wonder how the progress of the outpost is,” Skye muttered as she looked around.

n“Let’s look for the others first,” Maximus said.

nAfter they left, his family should have gone to the Arcane continent and straight to the Abyss realm.

n“Hmmm.”

nMaximus quickly called Andrew to the underground base.

n“Guild Leader!” Andrew greeted.

nNodding at Andrew, Maximus looked at the person beside him.

n“I didn’t expect you to arrive here this early.”

n“I just came here 5 years ago; it seems that you’re out of seclusion,” Silas greeted.

nMaximus already knew that Silas had arrived here earlier.

nHe only acted surprised to hide the fact that he had been to the Etherium realm.

n“How is the Abyss realm so far?” Maximus asked as they walked to the surface.

n“It’s been alright,” Silas shook his head.

nComing to the Abyss realm, he had the support of the Shadow Hunter Guild.

nAll the items and information were already provided by him.

nHow can the environment here still stump him?

nEven the crystal merit that he needed was readily provided to him.

nIt can be said that coming here is no different from coming home.

n“How about Ragnar? Did he also come here?”

n“Yes, he was with his father, fighting in the Purgatory layer.”

n“It’s a pity, Do you think we can invite him to join the guild?”

n“It should be impossible,” Silas said after some thought.

n“Oh…”

nSoon, they walked toward the surface.

nDifferent from decades ago, there were more runic lines, architecture, and arrays around.

n“When do you think the outpost would be finished?”

n“In about 10-15 years, it should be done,” Silas estimated.

nComing here, he was the main organizer of the outpost construction beside Eternal Voyager.

nThus he knew everything from the inside and outside of the outpost, and when would it be finished.

n“So soon?!” Maximus was a little shocked.

nHe thought that it would take at least 50 years more before the outpost would be finished.

nHe didn’t expect that it would be finished soon.

n“It seems that having you here is indeed right,” Maximus praised, patting Silas. ᴡ ᴏᴠʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀʀ ᴘᴜʙʟsʜᴅ ᴏ ovl_Fir.et

n“It’s nothing,”

n…

nSoon, a few months had passed

nWith Maximus’ connections all over the Abyss, his family was quickly transferred to the Shadow Hunters Guild without delay.

n“Husband!”

n“Dad!”

n“Father-in-law!”

n“Grandpa!”

nThe group greeted happily seeing him.

n“How is your stay in the Abyss?” Maximus asked in concern.

n“There was no problem; many were quite good to us,” Hazel said.

n“That’s right, Dad. I didn’t expect your influence to reach even the most remote outpost in the abyss realm,” Liam sighed.

nThey only arrived here after a few months because the teleportation array was not always active.

nHowever, their father found them just after they came to the Abyss realm.

n“This is all because of money!” Lux muttered.

nAfter inquiring about the method that their father used, it’s nothing but money.

nAnyone who can find and care for them will receive a huge reward ranging from a billion to trillions depending on the danger of the outpost.

nNaturally, even desperados were like a grandsons in front of them, hoping to take care of them until old age.

nLux can only sigh at the power of money.

n“Enough of that. How about I take you around the outpost?”

n…

nSoon, Maximus took his family around various facilities within the outpost.

nThe surface of the outpost is divided into four layers, with the residence section in the center.

nThe residence section is also divided into three parts.

nFirst is for Maximus and family, the second is for guild core members, and the rest is for others.

nIt has the strongest protection mechanism, capable of withstanding multiple apex sovereign attacks.

nIt’s also fully furnished, with all the amenities and facilities you could find in Etherium Realm.

nSecond, he took his family to the integrated training sector, the second layer of the outpost.

nIt is equipped with the most advanced training equipment you can get in the Etherium realm and more.

nThere is a real-time combat measuring machine, virtual mirror avatar, infinite gravity chamber, Disaster-grade environmental simulator, etc.

nMore importantly, it also has an Abyss monster generator.

nBy combining multiple Abyss source and with a little bit of manipulation.

nThe facility can produce a designated Abyss monster up to tier 8 lord-level.

nBesides the combat facilities, there are also healing facilities.

nIt can heal the lightest injuries to semi-permanent injuries that the Abyss monster can inflict.

nIn this integrated facility, there is also a progress ranking system.

nEach milestone you finish will be rewarded and ranked.

nThis is mostly so that Maximus can solicit high-quality guild members.

nAfter all, for them, resources are not enough; they also need a good training environment.

nAfter the training section is the entertainment section.

nIf his family was nonchalant with the integrated training section, then they were wide-eyed here.

nThe biggest attraction of the Entertainment section is food.

nNearly one-third of the place is about food and drinks.

nThese foods were not merely produced by automated food-

nproducing alchemy products.

nThey were handcrafted products that he bought for big bucks in the Myriad World Mall.

nUnfortunately, it was too expensive.

nTo eat here, one would need to pay a huge amount of shadow coins.

nShadow coins are the currency used by the Shadow Hunter Outpost and all the guild properties.

nIt is also the payment that the workers in the outpost receive.

nIt can be said that Maximus is really bold, using his own currency to break the crystal merit monopoly.

nIn the past, many tried to do this, but because of their limited capability and service use, such currency is not much of use.

nEven the Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce, famous for monopolizing currency, failed to do so.

nEven if there is, it was only limited to their internal use and not suitable for outsiders.

nBecause of this, many people were jealous of Maximus.

nAfter promoting the Shadow coin, Maximus can arbitrarily set its value and print more money as he wanted.

nOf course, one wrong misstep and such currency will crash.

nFurthermore, with the function of Crystal Merits, it would never be obsolete no matter what.

nBesides the food, the entertainment section also had music, dancing, games, movies, etc.

nUnfortunately, all of it was run by puppets.

nThere was a lack of manpower everywhere.

nMaximus can’t waste it just for entertainment, at least right now.

nFinally, the last layer of the outpost is the barrier and defense section.

nThis section is an unmanned part of the outpost, solely being controlled by Eternal Voyager.

nIt is equipped with dozens of heavenly grade tier 9 weapons capable of fighting back to back with a tier 9 abyss monster.

n(Mortal, Heaven, Dimensional, Ultimate)

nIt can even disintegrate tier 8 lord-level abyss monsters without an abyss source.

nUnfortunately, each time these weapons are fired, it is equivalent to burning money.

nAny harvest afterward would not even be worth anything comparable to the ammunition it fired.

nThere are also thousands of mortal grade tier 9 weapons all around the outpost for regular defense.

nUnlike the heavenly grade weapons, these weapons do not consume much energy.

nThe self-generation of the outpost’s core is enough to maintain the usual consumption of these weapons.

nAs for dimensional-grade weapons?

nAlthough Maximus is rich, he is not that rich.

nDimensional-grade weapons were already on another level.

nThey were too expensive that Maximus could advance to tier 8 before even being able to afford them.

nAfter visiting the defense layer, Maximus and his family came back to their residence.

nThey didn’t bother to visit the underground layer of the outpost as it was not yet finished.

nMoreover, it was mainly support facilities, storage, energy section, and such.

nLooking at their new home, his family couldn’t help but sigh.

nFrom the remote island in the Curse Continent to the most prosperous land in the Arcane Continent.

nAnd now, they were in such a grand outpost in the Abyss realm.

nLooking at their husband

/father, who took them through all of it, they couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

nAll of the things that they had right now were given by such a man like it was nothing.

nThinking of it, they couldn’t help but ask if their father

/husband needed something.

n“Do I need something?” Maximus was taken aback by their question.

n“I don’t need anything. As long as I have you, I will be content.”

n“Seriously, we just want to help you,” Isabella said seriously.

n“That’s right, Dad. You’ve always given to us. We also want to help you,” Lily agreed.

n“Furthermore, we are also quite strong. We are not the ones in the past that needed your protection from everything,” Lily continued.

nThe others also looked at him seriously, waiting for his answer.

nEven his in-laws and grandchildren fell into silence, waiting for his answer.

nLooking at them, Maximus fell into deep thought.

nThinking about it, his wives, children, and grandchildren had grown up.

nThey were already tier 7 and had awakened their special physique.

nIn the Abyss realm, they should be in the top ranks when it comes to strength.

nMaximus didn’t need to pamper them any longer.

nThey also had their own thoughts and needs; he didn’t need to suppress it and protect them from everything.

nAfter deep thought, he said, “I need money and a huge amount of it.”
