The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 357 Crazy Virtual Game

With the money provided by Maximus, the Apex Sovereigns were quite active, instructing their subordinates and families.

Soon the advertisements about Codexia World spread all over the domain.

"What is this Codexia World?"

Some people couldn\'t help but ask when they saw the amazing visuals in a central plaza.

"I\'ve seen this picture everywhere, what is it?" others also questioned.

No matter what they did, whether working, shopping, or training, all they saw were these advertisements.

If not for their patience, they might have already gone crazy.

This relentless advertising was truly like a curse in their daily lives.

"It\'s the Codexia World, a virtual world created by the Holy Emperor of the Curse Continent," the guard explained.

"Huh? The Curse Continent? They\'re still capable of creating such a virtual world?"

It\'s not that they looked down on the Curse Continent, but even the rich and famous Beast Continent and Divine Continent were not this active in promoting a game.

"If you wish to know more, there is a free experience hall available around here."

"A free trial for the virtual world?"

Upon hearing that they could try a virtual world for free, they couldn\'t help but be excited.

Although Virtual Applications was more accessible in the Arcane Continent, it was by no means cheap.

They could only experience this magnificence after paying a large sum.

Quickly finding the free experience hall, they were shocked to see many people.

"Awesome, it\'s real! I can exchange magic crystals!"

"A rare item! I got a rare item!"

"How?! Damn, you\'re going to be rich!"

They had come here only to experience the luxury of a virtual world.

Seeing the carnival-like atmosphere, the newcomers couldn\'t help but ask questions.

"What happened? Is there something special about the game?"

"Yes, yes, this game is insane!"

"What\'s insane?"

"It\'s the money, this game gives a lot of money!"

Virtual games directly giving money were quite rare; even then, it was usually from mythical achievements that deserved rewards.

Usually, the money earned from these virtual games came from direct exchanges between players.

To see a game that converted their in-game currency to real money was mind-boggling.

"Oh?" A look of excitement appeared in their eyes upon hearing the praise.

Looking at the line, they couldn\'t help but wait eagerly for their turn.

Finally, after waiting, they boarded one of the virtual pods and logged into the game.

[Please insert name...]

After playing for a few hours and not finding anything substantial, they could only look through the money they had earned.

After a quick operation, the money in their game account was transferred to their bank account.

"30 gold?! In just a few hours?"

"Tsk, how awesome. I earned more than a hundred gold."

"You have no luck. I heard others obtained a rare item worth a few magic crystals."

"Damn, is that possible?"

Hearing about others getting lucky, they couldn\'t help but grit their teeth.

However, as they looked at their income, they couldn\'t help but want to buy a virtual pod themselves.

A virtual pod is a low-end version of an elite token.

An elite token is a magic item costing millions of magic crystals, granting access to all virtual worlds, auctions, shops, maps, etc.

However, a virtual pod, besides being bulky, could only access some low-end games.

Those higher-end games that could directly give heaven-defying rewards and experience were not accessible.

Like experiencing a whole new life in just a few hours, learning unique exercises, honing their will, etc; it was not available in such a low-end virtual pad.

Seeing that the Codexia World was playable even on such a low-end virtual pod, they couldn\'t help but want to buy one.

A low-end virtual pod only costs thousands of magic crystals, depending on the model.

Based on their earnings in the game, if they could grind day and night, it would only take them about 10 years to get their money back.

That is if they stayed still; according to the level scheme, the higher their level, the higher their income.

Thinking about it, they hurried to the bank and borrowed money.

Borrowing a thousand magic crystals in the Arcane Continent is easy, with no collateral.

The richness of the continent didn\'t mind if a few pebbles were borrowed by its citizens.

However, with billions of trillions of people borrowing thousands of magic crystals at the same time, the fluctuation in the market was quickly noticed by various organizations.

...

In a branch of Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce.

"What happened? There was a spree of withdrawals in the bank!" A branch manager yelled, asking his subordinates.

"This—Manager, it seems to be about the newly released virtual game."

It\'s been over a month since the release of the Codexia World.

After advertising the virtual game, the Apex Sovereigns didn\'t care about the game anymore.

Even the various establishments, after receiving the money, didn\'t care much.

They didn\'t even bother to try the game.

After all, it\'s just a virtual game at the bottom of the ranking.

Thus, upon hearing that it was causing a commotion, the manager couldn\'t help but be shocked.

"Codexia World? Just how..."

Grasping the data analyzed by his subordinates, there was shock, anger, and a sense of loss evident on his face.

After Codexia was advertised, various experience halls were set up in different domains.

These were not set up by the masters of the domains themselves, but rather by the Aetherium Pavilion and Shadow Hunter Guild.

Besides enticing citizens to try the virtual game, they also sold cheap Virtual Pods.

What shocked him was that billions of trillions of people were tricked by this plot.

This meant septillions of low-grade magic crystals were scammed from them by the Curse Continent.

This was the first time such a thing had happened.

Usually, it was the Arcane Continent selling mass-produced goods to the other continents.

As the biggest business organization representing the Arcane Continent, the shame and anger he felt were incomparable.

Now, it\'s been over a month, and he couldn\'t imagine what would happen in a few more years.

"Have you tried to compete with them on prices?" the manager asked.

"Yes, we even cut the price in half, but very few bought our Virtual Pods."

"Why is that?"

"The Virtual Pods sold by the Aetherium Pavilion and Shadow Hunter Guild come with perks after opening the Virtual Game, Codexia World."

"Furthermore, they also offer interest-free installment plans for the Virtual Pods..."

"This..." The manager was speechless about the various tactics employed by them.

Aside from the cheap price, there were also interest-free loans.

Just how rich were the Aetherium Pavilion and Shadow Hunter Guild?

"What a headache..."

Unable to think of a solution, the manager could only report it to the higher-ups.

"Investigate this Virtual Game deeper..."

...

While the top business organization was panicking, others were curious.

Initially, they just scoffed at the game, thinking it was merely for civilians.

However, as more and more people played, delving deeper and deeper into the game, they couldn\'t help but become addicted.

It\'s not just the monetary reward; the fun, new experiences, and thrills brought by the game are comparable to those top games.

Although the world of Codexia is small due to its lack of time, they noticed that as more and more people joined the game, the world got bigger and bigger.

Like a blank canvas, being painted by them, they\'re like a god building the world.

The rules, physics, logic, etc., are all so solid that it didn\'t have any bug even under their insane operations.

Furthermore, as they inscribe runes to level up, their skills also get enhanced, prompting many powerhouses to join the fray.

The Codexia world has it all: money, fun, and enhancement.

...

Meanwhile, in the Curse Continent, Moonlight Empire.

Looking at the number of real-time players, Maximus was both happy and in tears at the same time.

This Codexia world is a money pit.

Although he lowered the rates of rewards compared to the earlier version.

The quantity of individuals playing it still puts a hole in his pocket.

With billions of trillions playing, Maximus was spending over a hundred quadrillion dimensional coins every day.

With more and more players coming, Maximus would have to spend over a hundred quintillion every year just to keep the game afloat.

This is already all his income from all of his industries, from the abyss, reselling, and the dimensional library.

Meaning if he couldn\'t survive this year, he would be finished.

Fortunately, the reward is also incomparable.

If the pace that the Moonlight Empire was going earlier was a snail, then having billions of trillions of individuals joining is like taking a rocket.

Rare materials after rare materials were being deciphered from the Codexia world.

Tens Millions of Etherforge Reactors also began working, printing these higher-tier sources.

Although it\'s only the 2.0 version capable of printing a hundred million units worth of energy per day.

Printing these rare resources was still profitable, multiplying the energy value it printed to tens of thousands of times.

Maximus was already stocking the rare resources he printed, ready to open a dimensional shop in the Myriad World Mall.

This is his only chance to keep the Codexia world afloat.

Once he fails, bankruptcy is his only choice.

Clenching his fist, Maximus calmed down his excitement.
