The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God-Chapter 784: Optimization Of The Virtual System
"Are you sure? This isn't a small amount. Furthermore, it's a lot of work."
Revamping the entire Virtual System wasn't an easy task.
Even Elvian, the owner of the whole virtual realm and the richest overlord, didn't have the foundation to fully optimize the Virtual System.
The cost of the upgrade wasn't the main problem; the real issue was maintaining it.
Elvian calculated that maintaining such an optimized Virtual System would increase the costs over a thousandfold.
Compared to the profit margin from transactions in the Virtual Mall System, he would end up taking a loss.
Magnified across epochs, Elvian didn't even dare to imagine how much he would lose.
"I'm sure about this. Just proceed with your work. I'll pay for everything."
For Lux and the Shadowcrest family, as long as it only cost money, nothing was too expensive.
Incurring a loss? If it meant getting rare materials, no price was too high.
Thanks to the Virtual Mall System spreading across the Aeon Plane, they even saved somewhat on material costs.
Instead of hiring people to mine the rare materials they need, wasting a lot of manpower, they could just buy them from the virtual mall.
Thus, to boost efficiency and improve interactivity, spending a bit more wasn't a problem.
"Would you also cover the losses and labor, Your Majesty Lux?"
"Hmm. Just give me a list, and I'll pay for it. As for labor, once you've finished optimizing the Virtual System, I'll double your remuneration for binding new dimensions to the Virtual Realm."
Hearing Lux was willing to cover everything, and even double their pay, they couldn't help but get excited.
Although it was becoming harder to find new dimensions, as long as they worked hard, finding billions of them wasn't impossible.
Earning twice as much would make their efforts twice as rewarding.
Tempted, some even thought of slowing down the search for a new dimension until after optimizing the Virtual System.
But knowing Lux wasn't easy to fool, they held back.
"Since we have Your Majesty Lux's word, we'll immediately begin optimizing the Virtual System."
"From forums, communication, interactive applications, mapping, talent testing, storage, detection, anything you want. Just say the word, and we'll include it."
Since Lux was willing to pay, they were also eager to enhance the Virtual System.
After all, it was their life's work, the reason they lived.
Managing the Virtual Realm since they could remember, even if they didn't get paid anything, they were willing to work.
If not for the cost, who wouldn't want to improve the system instead of letting it stagnate?
"I'll leave everything to you. If it's useful to the Virtual System, add it. No matter the cost, the Shadowcrest family will cover it," Lux said confidently.
If he ran out of money, he could always ask his father for more.
"That's great! We promise to do our best."
"What about the second thing you wanted to discuss, Your Majesty Lux?"
"It's about transportation. Since you can transfer materials from anywhere in the Aeon Plane, can you transfer people too?" Lux asked, full of excitement.
If this could be achieved, the transportation system in the Aeon Plane would be revolutionized.
Anywhere, anytime, people could move from one place to another.
Whether to attack or defend, the Virtual System could become a holy grail capable of turning the tide of fate in the Aeon Plane!
"It's impossible!" one of the managers quickly refuted.
Transferring materials was simple, it only required teleporting it from one place to another.
But transporting people? That involved origin, spirit, will, power, and the laws and elements they had mastered.
Embedding all that into each Virtual System was impossible.
Even the teleportation stations in the void had to be the size of a dimension. How could such a function fit into a tiny system?
Unless the Virtual System was an ultimate treasure or made from one, it simply couldn't be done.
"Not possible?" Lux sighed, a hint of disappointment in his voice.
If it could be done, Lux was sure, no matter the cost, his father could pay for it.
"No, no matter how much we spend, we wouldn't be able to make it happen."
They were mere managers. How could they embed a function even the owner of the Virtual Realm, Elvian, couldn't manage?
They knew Overlord Elvian had been trying to incorporate teleportation mechanisms into the virtual system.
He even sought help from Overlord Frir, but despite all efforts, everything had failed.
"I see. It's a pity..."
Suddenly, Lux thought of his father.
Even if Overlord Elvian and Overlord Frir couldn't do it, surely his father could.
To Lux, his father had always been omnipotent. There was nothing he believed his father couldn't do.
Thinking of this, his disappointment vanished. So, what if others said it was impossible? With his father, anything was possible.
Dismissing the managers to start working on the optimization of the Virtual System, Lux tried to call his father for an exchange.
Unfortunately, he received no reply. Lux could only assume his father was still busy.
Calming his excitement, Lux sat down and began training while he waited.

Meanwhile, in the Space-Time Lab, Maximus frowned as he hit a bottleneck.
"It seems my blueprint is completely flawed. The parameters, material composition, law combinations, and interactions with matter and the path of law are full of errors."
Maximus had assumed the Aeon Plane was interfering with his creation of the Automated Ring of Origin Production Machine.
But the truth was worse: his deductions were wrong on every level. Even a slight deviation or minor flaw could cause the entire process to fail.
Of course, the interference from the Aeon Plane was still a huge obstacle.
Just feeding the Path of Knowledge with incomplete results, analysis, and observations was enough to halt him.
Fortunately, isolated from the Aeon Plane's rules and limits, Maximus could now observe the very essence of his creation without distortion or gaps.
With the new data he had uncovered, it was only a matter of time before he solved the problem and completed the production machine.
Maybe, just maybe, he could even build an Automated Ether Device Production Machine!
