Chapter 940 Poor Vincent

940 Poor Vincent

[Space Link: Allows each member to establish a space link with other faction members of their choice. Once established, it is possible to teleport to the side of or summon the designated faction member with their consent by paying the required Aether points for travel. Following the establishment of a Space Link, it remains immutable for 24 hours. One can decline a Space Link request. The number of Aether points required increases with distance and other local factors such as space stability or Aether density. Each additional level allows for the concurrent establishment of an additional Space Link.]

This novel Faction Skill adeptly complemented Vitality Link and United We Stand, conveniently allowing Myrtharian Nerds with the means to afford its services to congregate. One should not be misled by the limited number of Space Links.

At first glance, at level 12, they could establish only 12 simultaneous Space Links, and there was a 24-hour cooldown before they could change them. However, the key was that a loophole within the skill could easily be exploited to perform a rally if the situation demanded it.

If, by misfortune, a beleaguered Myrtharian Nerd found themselves compelled to establish 12 Space Links with other Myrtharian Nerds to summon them to their side, and they consented, the previously solitary Evolver would form a group of 13.

But this did not account for the Space Links of the twelve companions who had teleported to the summoner's side. One of their twelve respective Space Links would be automatically locked for the next 24 hours, connecting them to their summoner, but their remaining 11 Space Links were still at their disposal.

Since there was no delay in activating these Space Links, save for the response time of the contacted companions, it was indeed possible, through a simple chain reaction of summons, to rally millions of separate Players across vast distances in the blink of an eye.

The only true unknown was the amount of Aether points that would be consumed during the process. This cost increased proportionally with the distance separating the two connected Evolvers and could, in theory, become an insurmountable chasm.

After all, not all their comrades were as wealthy as Jake; most had only a few tens or hundreds of millions of Aether points after saving for many months. Sometimes, they had only a few Aether points left, especially after spending everything to survive or seize various opportunities during their last Ordeal.

Jake, Will, and the others were naturally aware of this uncertain factor, but it was better than nothing. Had it been the pre-Fourth Ordeal Jake, he might have thought twice, but now that he was flush with resources and a veritable money factory, he was not entirely powerless against this problem.

To enable the poorest Myrtharian Nerds to use the Space Link as well, whether to flee or request reinforcements, they simply needed to be allowed to use the Aether points stored in the Faction Aether Storage directly. To prevent some fool on the other side of the cosmos from draining their treasury with a single Space Link, they would need to set up an Al to monitor such actions, but with their Oracle AIS, it was not difficult.

Heck, with his supercomputer-like intelligence and the year he had spent studying various sciences and technologies, Jake was relatively confident he could code an Al capable of handling this responsibility himself. And he could do it all in just a few hours if he really put his mind to it. Chat GPT and its clones had better watch out!

Continuing this line of thought, Jake transferred 10 of his Sextillions of Aether points into the Faction Aether Storage to replenish their faction's coffers. Reviewing the new Faction Status, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

[Faction Skills:]

[Permanent Passive Skill Iv112: Cosmic D Starfeyrves Body (45% (40>65% or +5% per level) of the leader's capacity)... Due to the estimated cost of 1 Septillion Aether points per person to simulate a Grade 10 Energy Body, it is temporarily inaccessible. To access all the features of Cosmic D Starfeyrves Body, each faction member can finance this amount at their own pace, starting by simulating a lower-grade Energy Body first.]

[Faction Space Vault Iv112: 20400 (double with each level) cubic meters of shared storage space, accessible to authorized members and compartmentalizable into several blocks depending on the level of authorization and trust. Activation cost: 100 000 Aether pts/day. The daily cost can be shared by the faction's members.]

[Vitality Link Iv112: Allows the temporary transfer of member vitality to the Skill Activator. An injury can also be transferred to another member with their agreement. Cost: Free. Starting at level 10, each additional level enables an additional simultaneous Vitality Link, allowing multiple faction members to share injuries.

[Megafaction Iv112: Allows the faction to exceed its member limit, normally restricted by faction level. Each additional level equates to an additional faction level concerning population limit.]

[Space Link Iv112: Allows each member to establish a space link with other faction members of their choice. Once established, it is possible to teleport to the side of or summon the designated faction member with their consent by paying the required Aether points for travel. Following the establishment of a Space Link, it remains immutable for 24 hours. One can decline a Space Link request. The number of Aether points required increases with distance and other local factors such as space stability or Aether density. Each additional level allows for the concurrent establishment of an additional Space Link. Maximum number of Space Links activatable simultaneously per person: 12.]

As the Myrtharian Nerds received the Oracle System notification announcing the changes at the same time, reactions quickly flooded the faction chat.]

[Aurum: This Space Link is great, but I fear it may not be as practical as some imagine. What really gets me is... WTF! Where did these 10 Sextillions of Aether points in the Faction Storage come from?!]

[Vincent Wilderth: ... After being captured by Lost Divinity, I was toyed to death by a damned firebird named Flend. My body and a good portion of my Spirit Body were completely incinerated... I have precisely 1 Aether Point left, and now I'm supposed to pay 1 Septillion Aether points for a Faction Skill? Anyone want to help me die again?]

[Lord Phenix: I dont recall that event. But anyway, this Overlord is more than willing to assist you in dying again.]
