Chapter 63 It's A Proper Business!
Chapter 63: It's a proper business!
"You might have sensed a few too weak people already, The Twelfth," Faith pointed at a group of weak people whose clothes didn't tell him anything.
He believed he would be able to recognize them should he have experience of the vast universe.
But as Max grew stronger, he could see that many of those people were indeed weaker compared to other individuals.
Faith explained after sensing Max's understanding, her lips curved into a beautiful smile, "They are lackeys sent by their masters. As a permanent resident of Zion, you can invite your people here too."
Max nodded, folding his arms, "For how long will you keep using my title? I am not fond of being the twelfth. It's the last star, isn't it?"
Faith nodded, licking her lips as she didn't know how to reply to Max's first question, "You are the last Fate Star. If it weren't for you, no change would've happened. Now that you have appeared, other Fate Stars can start their changes.
As for your first question… How do you want to call me?" Faith asked, her voice sincere as she wanted to develop a good relationship.
Max nodded, smiling brightly, "I have taken a liking to the term, Master. It rings somewhat good and fills a man's heart with ego, doesn't it?"
"It surely does," Faith could only agree, for she knew many people who shared the same feeling as Max. "It would take some time for me to adjust, though… My status was often higher as the guide and person working here."
"I don't mind as long as you try," Max grinned, dropping the talk about Faith and himself, for he wanted a proper balance between his own feelings and proper business.
He asked her a few questions about Zion.
Because he was a newbie, Max wanted to know about his permanent spot and invitations. He learned he could visit Zion whenever he wanted, which was a good thing.
Of course, he couldn't use his invitation as an emergency escape. If he were in a battle or other dangerous situation threatening his life, Max wouldn't be able to use the invitation to save his ass.
And then, Max's permanent spot.
Faith told him that Max could pick a land whenever he wanted. Of course, since there were many established businesses, Max couldn't pick their location yet. If he wanted their territory, he would have to issue a challenge and fight for it.
"So it's such a land, huh," Max chuckled, taking a stroll over the glass floor in search of a perfect territory for himself, "I don't want my land to reveal my Fate Star status."
Following him closely, Faith answered immediately, her voice brimming in Max's ears, "That's understandable. No one will know about your status unless they know you or see through your deeds."
Max stopped after roughly thirty minutes, his eyes on a mountain, "I want this whole mountain for myself."
For a moment, Faith unsurely gazed at the land. A whole mountain was quite too big of a territory. However, as Max had chosen a land far away from the city, the system decided to give him a whole mountain.
And with those words, Max became an owner of it.
[You have become an owner of Zion Mountain X]
[You have received a land system.]
"The Twe- Master has been officially registered to the Zion System. You can start your business with this and the land system in your player system. Because you are The Twelfth Fate Star, the Zion has prepared one thousand coins for a better start," Faith spoke officially before returning to her more casual self, which Max preferred.
She smiled, adding some words while tapping the system's screen to add money to Max's system. After that, Faith's status changed, becoming a loyal follower of Max Ei…
She no longer had access to Zion's guide system and other privileges. Her body, alongside Max, teleported to the mountain he owned.
Max lifted his eyes, staring at the mountain's peak. With his copious mana and experience, he could take a peek at the mountain's spire.
"You can't return with me to my world, can you?" Max retracted his eyes to Faith, whose beauty and strength probably eclipsed the twins. She would be a valuable member of his family and a good companion on the adventure.
But as Faith shook her head, Max knew she couldn't leave the Zion yet, "At least you will keep the place lively.
You will learn my skills and entertain ladies in my absence," Max chuckled, his words sounding too suspicious.
Faith squinted her eyes, asking Max a question that should be asked, "Only ladies?"
"If a man visits our hot springs, he can jump to water for all I care," Max laughed before adding, "But we will offer a variety of services for female visitors. Of course, we will have them give consent and other stuff."
"Just what exactly is on your mind?" Faith sighed, putting her hand on her waist as if she needed some support to lean on.
Max grinned, explaining his mana, "I drew ladies' attentions. They yearn for my mana, you know? I reckon you are too strong to be influenced by it. But girls around my level can only see a promising future in my hands.
And while I can't chase too many skirts, I can have them visit me for some massage and dual cultivation sessions," Max explained.
Faith shook her head, "So it's a brothel in disguise? I'm not singing for that."
"Not a brothel," Max quickly corrected her, putting his finger on her rosy lips, surprising the lady as she blinked, not expecting him to be this bold, "The main service will be a massage with hands coated in my mana.
But for that, I must create appropriate skills and learn massage, too. But I won't lie that dual cultivation seems to be my forte. If a girl gives her consent and asks for a night with me, I won't refuse unless she's an ugly orc.
Isn't that normal in harem anyway?" Max squinted his eyes, asking Faith about the universe's customs.
And he was right, for ladies in harems couldn't care about their man and sexual endeavors.
