I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 149 --Three Epic-Grade Skill Books

Faustus read through every word, and delight immediately rose in his heart.

Only by holding the [Scepter of Kings] in his own hand could he truly be said to have grasped the entirety of Polaris Zone in the palm of his hand.

This thing gave him absolute control over both the NPCs and the players of the zone!

He put the scepter away, then took out the three skill books.

In the current version, where even SSS-grade was considered the absolute peak of skill rank, he had actually been rewarded with three Epic-grade skill books!

Even Daniel could hardly believe just how heaven-defying these skill books had to be!

...

Codex of Creation (Epic-grade)

Effects:

Creation Codex: Contains 180,000 blueprints of every conceivable type of manufacture.

Genesis: You may use Immortal Singularity to illuminate the technology tree and determine the direction of the empire’s technological development.

Innovation: You may use Immortal Singularity to automatically derive new manufacturing blueprints.

Description:

The prosperity of a nation does not rely solely on peerless champions, but on the flourishing of all its people.

After reading the skill effects, Faustus sucked in a sharp breath.

His luck was simply too absurdly good!

To actually obtain a skill book capable of determining the course of technological development—this was an unbelievable windfall.

In his previous lives, he had personally witnessed a great technological explosion.

At that time, heavenly disasters had come one after another, and in order to survive, humanity had developed all kinds of new technologies.

There were magical inventions like elemental cannons, and mechanical creations like mana-powered battle mechs—things far more outrageous than the current scientific technology of Earth.

And this skill book could open up the technology tree and even automatically derive blueprints—this was practically cheating!

This was more of a utility-type skill book, half item and half skill book.

Faustus stuffed it back into his pack for the time being, planning to take it out again when he actually needed it.

...

Voidstep (Epic-grade)

Effects:

Consumes 1% MP per second to free oneself from gravity, allowing movement and stillness at will in the void.

Consumes 5% MP per second to fly at extreme speed, reaching up to 7,000 meters per second!

Flight duration is unlimited.

Proficiency: 0/50,000

Description:

Grace and endurance are the only eternal glory. With this in your possession, you shall become the most dazzling existence in the world.

After reading it, Faustus’s lips curled upward.

This skill felt as though it had been tailor-made just for him.

His MP recovery speed was absurdly high, so he was not remotely afraid of the cost.

As long as he wished, staying in the sky until the end of time would not be a problem.

And then there was the acceleration—7,000 meters per second!

The speed of sound was only about 340 meters per second, and even the fastest missiles on Earth were only roughly as fast as he would be.

In other words, if he went all-out, most missiles would not even be able to catch him!

Without a second word, he slapped the skill book and learned it.

[Ding! You have learned "Voidstep"! Please check your skill panel for details!]

The moment the system notification fell, he immediately activated the skill.

Whoosh—!

Faustus rose straight up off the ground.

He took a few steps in midair and found that it felt exactly the same as walking on solid ground.

Then he simply hovered there in the air and took out the final skill book.

...

Flash (Epic-grade)

Effect: Instantly move to any location within a 100,000 × 100,000 range centered on yourself.

Cost: 1% MP per use

Proficiency: 0/50,000

Description:

If you can run fast enough, death will never catch up to you.

After reading it, Daniel could not help but marvel at just how outrageous these skills were.

This was basically an upgraded version of every high-grade movement skill in the game.

A casual displacement of a hundred thousand meters—roughly one-thousandth the speed of light. It was simply absurd!

Without hesitation, he learned the skill book.

[Ding! You have learned "Flash"! Please check your skill panel for details!]

Faustus’s strength surged upward once again after learning these two skills.

At the very least, when it came to the art of survival and escape, he was confident that he now had absolutely no equal!

After thoroughly familiarizing himself with the two new skills, Faustus immediately cast [Seraphic Revival]!

Golden light flowed before his eyes.

One after another, he threw in the corpses of the several hundred legendary-grade powerhouses he had killed this time.

Gold coins poured out like a rushing stream, and those who had once crossed blades with him began, one by one, to gather the breath of life once more beneath the holy radiance.

Ten minutes later—

More than two hundred legendary-grade powerhouses knelt neatly before him.

Adding them to those he had revived earlier, Polaris Zone now had over three hundred legendary-grade powerhouses!

Compared to other World Zones, that foundation was no weaker at all.

However, Polaris Zone had been smashed to pieces by his own hand. Ruins were everywhere, and the ordinary NPC citizens were causing disturbances all over the place.

If he did not clean things up quickly, forget about collecting taxes—they would not even be able to live a single stable day!

This newly acquired territory was still far from operating normally.

Only by rebuilding order step by step could it truly become his foundation.

Faustus opened Polaris Zone’s administration panel.

From tax rates to housing construction, from resource allocation to issuing directives, every function was there.

The first thing he selected was: "Rebuild all destroyed cities!"

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 20 trillion gold coins to fully restore all destroyed cities in Polaris Zone?]

"Yes."

A mere twenty trillion—Daniel did not even blink.

[Prompt: Command confirmed. Gold coins deducted! All destroyed cities in Polaris Zone have now been fully restored to their original state.]

But Faustus was still not satisfied.

The reason was simple: he disliked the jagged spires and curved eaves of Polaris Zone’s old architectural style, so he clicked a few more options.

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 1 trillion gold coins to change the appearance of all cities in Polaris Zone? (Design to be based on World Zone No. 616 as the foundational template)]

"Change it."

[Ding! 1 trillion gold coins deducted! The new style is named "Northern Star Dominion Style."]

Faustus nodded in satisfaction.

This kind of grand, open, and imposing style was much more pleasing to the eye.

Then he turned his attention to currency reform.

In his previous lives, by the late stages of Stellar, it had taken 100 gold coins to exchange for 1 mana coin, and he had always found that far too inconvenient.

So now he simply restructured the hierarchy: above gold coins he established platinum coins, and above platinum coins he established dark gold coins!

10,000 gold coins = 1 platinum coin

10,000 platinum coins = 1 dark gold coin

10,000 dark gold coins = 1 mana coin

In other words, 1 mana coin = 1 trillion gold coins.

Once that was done, the gold coins in his inventory were automatically converted according to the new rules.

He had already had more money than he could spend, and now that he also possessed the entirety of Polaris Zone as his territory, the speed at which his wealth would increase had become downright terrifying.

Next came personnel arrangements.

Daniel promoted Carodion to become the master of the Temple of the Gods, putting him in charge of all legendary-grade powerhouses in Polaris Zone.

As for the empire’s ministers, Daniel could not be bothered wasting any thought on them. He simply spent money to hire a batch of top-tier administrative NPCs and arranged all the work in short order.

From now on, these NPCs would handle the day-to-day operation of the empire of Polaris Zone.

As for the two great legions, they remained the same as before: he himself concurrently served as the Legion Commander of both.

After handling all of that, there were now only three most urgent matters left.

The first: open the world gates and allow free travel between World Zone No. 616 and Polaris Zone.

Faustus opened the border management panel and fully opened the permissions of all Polaris Zone portals to World Zone No. 616.

From this day forward, there would be no more barriers between the two great zones. Players of World Zone No. 616 could go to any city in Polaris Zone whenever they wished.

The second: circulation of zone registration.

From the moment he obtained the [Lord of Worlds] title, his own zone registration had automatically been transferred to Polaris Zone.

The Polaris Legion under his command had also all transferred over with him, but the more than one hundred million players of Doom Guild had not yet been transferred.

In the end, he decided that all players of World Zone No. 616 would be allowed to apply for Polaris Zone registration.

"There has to be a threshold for transferring zone registration. Otherwise, if the majority of World Zone No. 616’s players all flood in at once, won’t that throw everything into chaos?"

After all, Polaris Zone currently had three days of double EXP, and on top of that there were the attribute bonuses from the [Lord of Worlds] title, benefits so enormous that they would be irresistible to players.

And the player population was, by nature, the group most easily led around by profit.

If no restrictions were put in place, World Zone No. 616’s players would probably be drained dry into Polaris Zone.
