n”Codexia is a world personally crafted by the Emperor using the Moonlight Engine.”

n“Codexia is an infinite open world made of inscriptions and runes, created to enlighten and teach us about it.”

n“Furthermore, playing this game could gradually strengthen your soul,” David explained.

n“The Emperor…” Draven fell into thought.

nFrom birth to death, everyone in the Moonlight Empire was marked by this so-called Emperor.

nIt can be said that the Emperor is their sustenance of faith, the God of the Moonlight Empire.

nAlthough somewhat skeptical of some of the Emperor’s achievements.

nDraven still had to give credit to this Emperor for managing the former Nexus Continent like this.

n“So what about this game world? How do we make money?”

n“There are many ways to make money, but the main way is through currency exchange.”

n“The currency you have in this virtual world could be directly cashed in through your bank, at a 1-to-1 ratio.”

n“So much? So, Codexia’s money is equivalent to real-world currency?!” Draven was a little shocked.

nJust by rough guess, Draven knew the money needed to run things here was immense.

nThis added another halo to the Emperor again, giving the people an imagination of unlimited wealth.

n“Don’t think it’s easy to earn money in this game.”

n“Your brothers and sisters in the game are just a small guild barely getting by.”

n“We can only earn thousands of magic crystals per day, grinding day and night.”

n“Is it really that hard?” Draven shrugged his shoulders, undaunted.

nWith countless epochs of knowledge, if not for his limited strength and various nonsensical rules, making money would be as easy as picking.

nHe was a divine forger, a wealthy profession that regards money as dirt.

nDraven didn’t think that a mere game could stop him.

n…

nTeleporting to the Ancient Temple, Draven quickly registered in the game.

nAlias: Divine Forge

nLevel: 0

nClass: None

nWealth: 0

nInscription Tab

nIn the game, Draven looked around curiously.

nIt was a forest with the most common resources, from stones, rocks, trees, grass, and such.

nIt was all mortal tier that one could see everywhere in the world.

n“How do I make money in this?”

nHis brother didn’t tell him how the game mechanics work.

nHe said that he would know once he was inside.

nJust when he was in a daze, a shadow flashed past behind his back.

n“A horned rabbit?”

nAs the rabbit disappeared, a coin spawned out.

n 1 copper coin

n“This is it?”

nPicking up the copper coin, he was speechless.

nEven if he killed all year round, he would never earn enough money for his resources.

nSeeing that he was in no further danger, he tapped on the inscription tab.

nInscription Tab:

nPlease select the profession before proceeding.

n“Profession?”

nSoon, a list of professions popped up for him to choose from.

nWithout hesitation, he chose blacksmith.

nDivine Forge

nLevel: 0

nClass: Tier 0 Blacksmith

nWealth: 1 copper coin

nInscription Tab

nTapping on the Inscription tab again, a list was presented in front of him.

nInscription tab:

nMinerals: 0

nHerbs: 0

nFire: 0

nWeapon: 0

n…

n“Huh? What is this?”

nAfter clicking on ‘material,’ a list of tier 0 materials popped up in front of him.

nFrom iron, copper, steel, and such, every mortal material was on the list.

nBehind every material was a progress bar.

nLike Iron and copper, it was already at a hundred percent.

nIron (tier 0): 100%

nCost: 10 copper coin per ingot

n(Could no longer inscribe)

nTapping on aluminum with 0 percent, a smile appeared on his face.

nAluminum (tier 0): 0%

nCost: 1000 copper coin per ingot

nSolo Inscription

/Joint Inscription

nSolo Inscription: Taking on the inscription of the material personally

nReward: 100% progress would make the material free; level-up guarantee until level 100.

nNote: The generated product couldn’t be sold.

nNote: You can’t inscribe other material until 100% progress.

nWarning: the higher the progress, the harder the inscription.

nJoint Inscription: Taking on public inscription tasks.

nReward: Discount based on percentage up to 10 percent; Experience based on percentage.

nNote: Multiple inscriptions can be taken.

n“Huh~ So this is where the money lies.”

nIf he could inscribe a complete set of materials, he could mass produce an item with zero cost.

nThe note only said that the generated material couldn’t be sold.

nAfter he created a weapon, it was a different item altogether.

nAs for joint inscription, he never considered it.

nAlthough it would be faster to accumulate experience, it was not cost-effective.

nLooking for a safe place, he set up a temporary base.

nAfter choosing the solo inscription task.

nA dense array of unrecognizable inscriptions lay in front of him.

nAlthough it was unfamiliar, according to the instructions, he only needed to trace it.

n“Such a convenient thing?”

nEven if a kid could do this thing, how hard could it be?

nPlacing his hand on the screen, he felt a little bit of his soul being sucked out as he traced his hands.

nAfter a few minutes, he felt his soul depleted.

nWarning: Soul energy reaches the threshold. Please rest…

nLooking at his progress, he smiled wryly.

nAluminum (tier 0): 0.1%

nIt had only been a few minutes, and already, his soul felt exhausted.

nNo wonder there was a warning advising against taking solo inscription tasks.

nFor a mortal without any potions, special apparatus, and such, it would take a day to recover soul energy.

nTo inscribe a tier 0 material solo as a mortal would take a thousand days.

nIn the case that you take on a solo inscription task at every level, you would need over 300 years to level up to 100.

n“Tsk, tsk, what a scam.”

n“Fortunately, I’m different,” Draven smiled.

nMobilizing his battle will, he quickly regenerated his soul energy. Th link to the orign of this information rsts n NovlFir.et

nFeeling replenished, he smiled.

n“Let’s continue.”

n…

nIn the Imperial Castle:

nMaximus slowly opened his eyes and looked through his system panel.

nMyriad World Mall: Perfect Mastery.

n“It’s done…”

nAlthough happy, Maximus was a little disappointed.

nA few years ago, once the population hit a hundred quadrillion.

nThe amalgamation of will he receive also hit its peak, reaching 1 quintillion per day.

nWith over half of the population reaching tier 1, he could gather over 500 quadrillion units of amalgamation of will.

nWith about 1 percent reaching tier 2, another hundred quadrillion units of amalgamation of will was in his pocket.

nPlus, the various powerhouses, from soldiers to top students.

nIt could be said that reaching a quintillion units of amalgamation of will was expected.

nAs soon as Maximus reached a quintillion, he put the myriad world mall into the agenda.

nFrom 100 quintillion for initial mastery to 800 quintillion for perfect mastery, Maximus spent 1,500 quintillion in total.

nThe problem was perfect mastery was already the limit the system could achieve.

nMaximus would need to comprehend it himself if he wanted to master it further.

nMoreover, although he mastered it through perfection.

nThe security encryption of the transdimensional system was still solid.

nMaximus thought that after studying the Myriad World Mall, he could arbitrarily set his money to any number he liked.

nWho knew he couldn’t even increase the star rating of his shop?

nEven changing the font and color of the shop name was impossible.

nIt seemed that the transdimensional system he mastered was different altogether.

nFortunately, studying the Myriad World Mall to perfection still had its benefits.

nFirst is the security.

nMaximus could encrypt his shop with various walls to make his coordinates untraceable.

nUnless it’s the creator itself, no one could find his shop coordinates.

nEven in his rune inscription, Maximus could incorporate such security.

nThe rune language he was using in the Moonlight Engine was related to his ultimate dimensional physique.

nRune is the innate language of the world.

nAfter becoming a tier 9 runemaster, Maximus created his own rune language related to his own physique.

nUsing it, the flow at which the Etherforge Reactor absorbed his mana shot up to a hundred times.

nNow, it could produce 100 million units of energy or low magic crystal per day.

nWithout such security, he wouldn’t dare to present such a rune language in the world.

nAfter others mastered it, one could still steal his mana without his permission.

nAlthough he had an unlimited amount of it, it was still daunting to think that someone was stealing from his backyard.

nThe security encryption knowledge he just mastered came at the right time.

nAfter setting it up, one must know the core inscription he put in to decode his rune language.

nAs for the second benefit, it’s creating a system.

nNot a full-blown system that could bind others remotely, but a castrated version that needed some physical device.

nWith this knowledge, Maximus planned to upgrade the identity token of his people.

nNot only can it contain more functions, it would also further bind the people to him.

nAs for the third benefit, Maximus managed to get a glimpse of the ‘Family and Power system.’

nIn the past, looking at the system core program, it was just a bunch of garbled codes.

nBut now, like understanding programming, he could understand it a bit.

nThis is a major milestone for his future, wanting to study or even upgrade his system.
