Sam returned to the Desolate Planet. Even though he gave the prize up for Noah. It is not for nothing. Apart from the second place, he could also ask a huge favor from her.
As for the mini-game or whatever the gods call it which is played for the points, Sam is not really going to focus on that. Because it would be done by his subordinates there and he would get more points than the rest of the players all combined.
It is just hunting down the sea folks. Sam doesn't know why the gods have given this kind of task. The war is going on between the elves and the sea folks for years now and it is still going on. Even with all the equipment Sam has presented them with, Sea folks have too many trump cards and they are occupying the sea far more than Sam and even the elves thought.
But still, Sam has enough influence in Charbhum to get things done no matter what.
He has an Astral Plane cultivator here working for him.
He can do whatever he wants here. The sea folks hunting is as easy as eating and drinking for him. Particularly, when the conditions clearly stated that the metric for the points is who has most bodies by the end of the game.
So, Sam left the collection of bodies to his subordinates and returned back.
After returning back to this place, he continued with his exploration, research, and collection of different samples.
But in between, he has something else to do and that is to visit his new businesses across the realms. Currently, he is expanding to the realms with Astral Planet cultivators as in charge. Not that it mattered too much at this point as he is mostly concerned about the business expansion.
But the presence of the Astral Planet cultivators means that the average cultivation level is quite high which would make it a bit harder to deal with the average problems.
That is where Sam comes in. The first order for his subordinates after entering the business sector is that they have to go and piss off some gangs and take over one of the weakest in the city while establishing connections with a character like Raunak in the Charbhum realm or Yodha in Naga Loka.
Then with the connections and the fuss, the problems will automatically raise up which Sam would go and solve if the people there cannot solve and as they expand, they will establish a school in the area which recruits the orphans and train them in different methods.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe process might not be smooth sailing, but he is sure that he could handle this. Anyway, the expansion would take some time and in that duration, he can develop the Feathered planet into the junction of the transportation as well as the production hub.
And the next time he gets the chance to use the points, he planned on getting an interdimensional communication system so that he could establish a basic communication channel between the whole organization.
The process is going on well according to plan.
Every month there is a new project starting in the feathered planet. A metal processing plant, grenade factories, puppet factories, wheat fields, paddy fields, cane fields, orchards. Apart from the most common products, the feathered planet is mostly focused on opening the raw materials and the processed materials which are then transported to the other planets to be converted into the finished product.
There are many projects going and people are moving at a rapid pace. For the first time ever, Sam almost got a problem with the manpower. But there are too many people in the universe and every realm he enters, that realm is going to be a new source of manpower.
There are many desperate people in every world and all they have to do is extend an olive branch. Make them take a pill and they are good for go.
He is even making the beasts work.
The organization contacted many races in this growth period. There are other planets with Yakshas, the beastmen which in itself has many subraces. Demi-humans, the giant race which is similar to the giant humanoids that are in Zeus' palace of inheritance.
Then came the Hobgoblins which are similar to humans in many ways, except for the skin color, a bit of bone structure, and facial features. Dryads who are more like trees spirits and are a bit similar to elves as they have wood element inherent to them.
Gnomes, the short creatures but skilled in inscriptions. Sam was surprised when he saw them. Their inscription skill is completely inherent and they have this weird affinity with runes. They even battle with the inscriptions, drawing them in the mid-battle out of nowhere.
Then in a realm, they managed to get in contact with nature spirits.
They look similar to humans, but they are one with nature in many ways. There are fire elemental spirits, water, wood, lightning, and all the rest of the common elements.
Mothmen who have insect wings and some other moth-like creatures.
Ogres, similar to orcs but more intelligent.
The most surprising of all and the most suitable for battle are the Were-people.
This realm doesn't even have humans, but Sam still managed to get into their business forcefully, so that he could hire them as mercenaries.
Were-people has many subraces. Like werecats, werewolves, weredogs, werehyena, weretigers.
These are also the races that are thrown away by the beastmen tribes like the Minotaurs and the Centaurs.
Sam was really impressed and amused as he explored one planet after another and one realm after another.
After the Aranya's Palace of inheritance, it could be said that he spread too thin. With the training cum exploration in the Central continent and the exploration of the realms and planets, he really spread too thin both his time and efforts as well as his forces and the subordinates.
So, the recruitment process was boosted for the second time.
And in this chaotic situation what Sam noticed is that he almost entered one-tenth of all the realms displayed in the Dimensional drifter.
Even though it feels small, it is large. He just expanded his influence from ten planets to around a hundred planets in mere six years.
That is his situation by the time the next Palace of inheritance drew near.
And luckily, this time the Palace of inheritance is also within one of the areas he recently developed some influence in, he used the space gates and went there to keep an eye on them and went on with his training.
He is already in the middle stage of Transcendent by now and he is absorbing resources like crazy. He is getting all kinds of resources from all the realms he visited and he is consuming them like crazy all the while battling his way into the central continent to improve both battle experience and the cultivation level and he is back to being having superior cultivation level than the rest of the players.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next Palace of inheritance happened to be an open one letting the locals to participate, but only after they entered did they learn about what is truly happening.
The planet the Palace of inheritance currently being held has some nature spirits and Beast men as the main population and their task is to kill the players that entered the Palace.
As for the players, their task is to survive.
Even though the beast-men and the nature spirits are not considered the cream of the crop, they are still better than humans in terms of natural talent and they have better skills and physiques and the entry-level is up to the peak stage of transcendent level, with all that, another player died.
The players are feeling cold all over. This time Noah in particular, this player is also from the Herb Garden.
They couldn't help but imagine themselves being in the same situation. But they couldn't stop. They had to move on.
After this Palace of inheritance, once again the point shop opened up. Sam took the chance to get an interdimensional communication system that could be used with the Space gates, so that the network could be established.
It cost every single point he has on him. It is even costlier than the Planet and the visit to the earth.
But he still bought it.
There was an announcement after the shop and that is since the three Players who died didn't have their Palace of inheritances yet, they are not going to happen at all. So, there are only two Palace of inheritances left.
After this was over, Sam returned to get busy with his expansion plan, but his puppet project has some extraordinary breakthroughs, so he has to focus on that too.
Even in that chaos, a thought sat in his mind.
It is about the next Palace of inheritance. According to the deal with Ling Tian, his Palace of inheritance would be the last one and they might even postpone a bit.
So, there is only one possibility for the next Palace of inheritance and it would be the Palace for the last hidden but mysterious candidate.
That player, whoever it is didn't show their face except for the first Palace of inheritance, where Sam checked the twelve tattoos.
But at that time, the identities are hidden and no one knows who that person is.
After that, they didn't come to any other Palaces, so this time they will have to reveal themselves, no matter what. Sam is really looking forward to it.
