I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 130 --Taking It Offline for Real, Occupying Mauler
Compared to the shock and fury of the players from other World Zones, the players of World Zone No. 616 were far more excited and exhilarated.
"Faustus is unbeatable! The boss never bothers arguing, never stoops to keyboard wars—he just crushes clowns in real life!"
"This was so damn satisfying! Those clowns from World Zone No. 1213 were running their mouths before, and now they’ve finally learned to behave!"
"Hahahaha... I’m dying here. Look at the disgusting faces of the players from World Zone No. 1213. Now they’re actually trying to take the moral high ground and guilt-trip Faustus?"
"Some people get so shameless they forget their own damn names!"
...
World No. 1213.
Countless players from World Zone No. 616, along with vast NPC armies, streamed out of the inter-world portal like an endless tide.
The World Guardian of World No. 616 sat quietly in the distance, turning a blind eye to everything.
His duty was only to guard the passage and prevent players from World Zone No. 1213 from crossing through. As for who came over from his side, that was none of his concern.
"Holy shit! Does this count as crossing into another world? We’re actually standing on foreign territory!"
"Tsk, tsk... You know, the architectural style of World Zone No. 1213 is totally different from ours. And just look at the map—there are so many rare mineral veins here!"
"This time, we’re definitely turning World Zone No. 1213 into our colony from another world! Hahaha!"
"As for those foul-mouthed outsiders, we’ll just make them mine for us. Hahaha..."
...
At the temporary World War command center, Chief Strategist Hudson, together with Victor and Alan, had already finalized their battle plan.
"We’ve selected two major cities as our strategic footholds—Mauler and Aha Harbor."
Hudson pointed to the two marked locations on the map and spoke in a deep voice.
Daniel nodded.
He had studied the map as well and knew these two fortresses were the nearest major cities in World Zone No. 1213, both occupying highly advantageous strategic positions.
"Then it’s settled."
Daniel said calmly, "I’ll take the cities first. Your armies can move in afterward and take over."
Hudson and Victor answered in unison, "As you command, Grand Duke!"
Daniel left Tiana, Cole, Upton, and the other transcendent powerhouses behind for the command center to deploy, just in case legendary-grade experts from World Zone No. 1213 attempted a surprise raid.
He himself led the rest of the legendary-grade powerhouses and shot off toward the two great fortresses of World Zone No. 1213.
...
Daniel flew through the sky.
The heavens above World Zone No. 1213 were dim and overcast.
Ever since the Undead Cataclysm had descended, this eerie phenomenon had shrouded the land without end.
On the ground, squad after squad of undead creatures swept across the wilderness like the scythes of death itself, harvesting every form of life they encountered—even wild monsters were spared no mercy.
Soon, the outline of a fortress came into view before him.
At this moment, Mauler was on the highest alert.
But not because the World War had begun.
It was because of the Undead Cataclysm.
The city walls were packed shoulder to shoulder with NPC defenders and players alike. Their eyes were fixed on the black-mist-covered wasteland beyond the city, filled with exhaustion and fear.
A figure came to a halt high above Mauler.
Daniel descended, and his presence was instantly noticed by the players and NPCs of World Zone No. 1213.
"Enemy att—!"
The shrill warning cry had only just sounded when Daniel had already summoned ninety-nine clones.
The clones spread out through the fortress with perfect precision, ensuring their skills could cover the entire city.
Daniel raised Stellar Wrath.
At the same time, the legendary-grade powerhouses around him launched their attacks as well.
[Arrowstorm]!
[Shattering Comet]!
[Serpent’s Thundercell]!
[Aetherlance]!
-8,646,194!
-8,394,846!
-8,455,164!
In an instant, a sky-blotting rain of arrows engulfed the entire fortress.
Golden radiance, violet lightning, and burning meteors intertwined into a net of death, tearing every living being caught within it into pieces.

Obtained equipment...]
System notifications poured down like a waterfall.
Inside Mauler, countless players from World Zone No. 1213 were killed before they even had time to react.
The unluckiest were those who had bound their resurrection point to Mauler.
After dying, they lost levels, emptied their backpacks, lost all their equipment, and even wound up owing Faustus a huge amount of gold coins.
Yet the moment they revived, before they could even steady themselves, they were drowned once more beneath the storm of skills filling the sky.
Those with higher levels might manage to survive one more round.
Low-level players, however, were sent directly back to Starter Village.
Back in the previous Secret Realm World War, only around ten billion players from other zones had invaded in total, and of those, two hundred million players from World Zone No. 1213 had been killed badly enough to lose levels.
That had been only one-tenth of all players in World Zone No. 1213.
But now, the average level of mainstream players across the world had already risen above Level 60. Many of them could endure being killed by Faustus several times over.
Yet no matter how many times they could survive, once they were killed by Faustus, that account was basically ruined.
...
A few minutes later, not a single living enemy remained in Mauler.
Daniel ceased his attack and led the legendary-grade powerhouses charging into the Lord’s Manor, where they shattered the fortress stele.
[Ding! You have shattered the fortress stele! Obtained: World War Points +50,000,000!
Please choose: "Occupy" or "Destroy."]
"Occupy."
[Notice: You have occupied "Mauler"!]
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player "Faustus" of World Zone No. 616 for occupying the fortress "Mauler" in World Zone No. 1213! He has become the first player to occupy a fortress in a foreign World Zone! Special rewards granted to this player: Administrative NPC x1,000,000, Commercial NPC x5,000,000!]
Listening to the system prompt, Daniel curled his lips into a satisfied smile.
He glanced at his current total of World War Points—
3.4 billion.
"So many points... I wonder how many Primordial Crystals I can exchange for."
He opened the World War Point exchange interface. His gaze swept over the dazzling assortment of goods before finally stopping on a gem radiating seven-colored light.
[Primordial Crystal (Extremely Rare)]
Exchange Cost: 500,000,000 points
Effect: Upon use, increases the origin Strength of the user’s world and raises the world’s overall quality.
Description: A crystallization of the World Heart, containing the power of planar origin. Only those who have achieved glorious military merit in the World War are qualified to exchange for it.
