After entering the Tetra-star realm, the plans are going on at a rapid pace.
The first thing Sam did, establish a large restaurant in a city with most business traffic and learned about the details of the quest.
They have to collect a type of herb which is not exactly common, but not exactly too rare. It is somewhere in the middle and the difficulty to find it is high because it looks like gra.s.s and there is a similar gra.s.s which grows a lot and disguises the herb completely.
Sam simply put a notice in the restaurant and also gave the notice to all the mercenary companies within the city that he would buy the herb.
The herb does not have too many advantages or it is not some coveted property, it is just too difficult and annoying to collect as the gra.s.s attracts beasts of many kinds which are going to be a hindrance for them.
But if the reward is good enough, anything could happen.
Sam"s restaurant is already popular and the price money he put up is a lot of actually.
And while the mercenaries went to find the herb, Sam bought a field nearby from the local government, a large one and he and Dia tilled the whole land.
As soon as the herb came, Sam planted a bunch in the divine dimension and the rest in the field. He bought as many herbs as they came at a decent price and everyone is eager to get their hands on the herb now.
Forest bear managed the field and made sure the rest of look alike gra.s.s didn"t grow up as well and controlled the growth, speeding it up.
By the end of the three months, he had a field full and more of the herb and once again he got ten times the returns of the rest of the players.
The players started to get jealous a bit. From the start, Sam is more focused on business side and now he is reaping his benefits. He doesn"t have to do too many things. He has a lot of money which is making people do things for him and he also has a lot of subordinates who can do the dirty work.
Particularly in this case, the presence of Dragon Hawk tribe is a big advantage. They are the ones that managed to blend in easily and get the permission for restaurant, the field and the missions for mercenaries.
They fit right in the environment and the rest of the year, they saw similar things happening as the quests kept on coming for every three months.
So, the remaining two quests are also done in a same way. Whatever that needs to be collected is being collected by the group of subordinates and the mercenaries for hire and Sam is ama.s.sing a large number of points right before spending them for resources for all the subordinates.
The next year, the realm changed and it is connected to the Tetra- Star realm.
Sam let the Dragon Hawk tribe members stay here. Their cultivation improve in this one year and everyone broke through the Consummate realm and he also broke through to the second level and is half through the third level.
Now, Dragon Hawk tribe will be expanding the business and opportunities there and will be following Sam"s orders to the teeth.
After they entered the second realm and got the quest, he checked for the planet and the race"s surroundings and felt like expanding here is a waste of time. The resources here are not exactly that great and there are not too many things that interested Sam.
So, he decided to be a bit pa.s.sive in the development. He started a small company and moved over a batch of research personnel and a batch of candidates in special training to a.s.sist them temporarily.
He went and found a n.o.ble family met with their n.o.ble son and created a partnership offering a design of grenade.
He would be doing the design selling just like how he did in the Charbhum realm.
In this place there is no need for a lot of muscle as they decided to be extremely low-key and only come in contact with this one n.o.ble family kid and he did all the collection for them
A year later the next realm and then another.
Years pa.s.sed rapidly and Sam is training like crazy and his candidates are also struggling because of that.
The rest of the players are all increasing rapidly together.
Before they knew it, it is already almost the end of the decade.
There is barely a month left before the deadline and everyone is getting ready to prepare for a breakthrough into Astral Plane.
At this moment, Sam is in a Planet which is not all inhabitable.
This planet has a large orbit, but it comes too close to the sun for half of the year and the remaining half it stays freezing cold.
But before transitioning from state to another there would be a special period of a few weeks, where the Planet reveals all the treasures it grew in the previous season.
Currently Sam is on that Planet as he prepared for a breakthrough. The exploration has already ended and most of the valuable treasures are already shipped. His quest which is related to this place is also over.
At this moment, he is using the loneliness he could get in this planet to his advantage to breakthrough.
He let all of his beasts out and they surrounded him in a large circle.
Sam started taking out all kinds of treasures that he collected just for this moment.
The peaches from the Monkey King, blood essences of Astral Plane beasts of all elements, the blood given to him by the Ghoul King and the elixirs he got from the point shop and many other things which he stored exactly for this moment.
He consumed one thing after another. The peaches that could give enough energy and focus on improvement of different things like soul, body and energy, the blood from the ghoul king which gives the necessary nutrition for the Vampire part of his body, the blood essences that could provide the nutrition for the beast bloodlines in his body.
All of them are something that could help one breakthrough. But he has to take this many. The only regret is that he doesn"t have a spatial essence lined up.
Even though he knew Spatial elements are rare, Sam is really surprised. The number of s.p.a.ce element users in the Desolate turned out to be more when compared to the numbers in different realms he visited.
He didn"t encounter a proper beast of high-rate of cultivation with Spatial element. They are all of a low-level bloodline.
But there is one way to compensate it by energy conversion in his body.
He can share the energy that is also the reason why he is consuming the blood essence instead of beasts.
He has to take convert a part of each essence into spatial energy and feed it to the Void Hopper carefully and he must make sure that all beasts got equal power.
Sam consumed one treasure after another, even though he felt bloated and will explode any moment, he didn"t stop for a second as he consumed on thing after another.
As the energy reached his peak and his body almost collapsed, he started distributing the energy to evenly to every other beast as they all cultivated together.
The whole area is fully covered with all kinds of elemental energies and the surroundings turned chaotic.
The valley they are currently in is being ravaged by the elemental energies as all of them pushed the final barrier to crack it and enter a new plane.
Sam"s spiritual core which already turned into a semi-transparent crystal from a transparent gla.s.s ball is reacting heavily as it expanded to the extreme and cracked before solidifying once again with the help of Yanwu"s bloodline.
The same process repeated until all the bloodlines are used and finally the core solidified again.
All the beasts grew in size and there are some pretty visible changes. Even the Void hopper increased in size and all the beasts opened their eyes.
Astral Plane is a true plane where these beasts can show their prowess.
Their auras changed and they looked like they could tear anything apart.
But Sam didn"t open his eyes yet.
Something is still happening in his body.
It seemed to be the change from the vampire part of the body as every muscle is being reconstructed.
Sam felt like he is being stabbed by a millions of needles at the same time making him feel extremely painful.
After the painful torture for an hour ended. He finally opened his eyes.
He felt like he lost a ton of weight and became lighter on his feet. He could feel the surrounding elements so closely.
His affinity increased by a large amount and his spiritual sensory range improved by at least threefold.
He felt like a new person.
He started checking what he can do and after gaining some understanding of his own strength, he finally decided to leave this planet.
It is about time he served some revenge. That person lived far too longer than they needed to be.
