Just call me Thor

"Send these three coordinates to Maxen?"

After hearing Thor's suggestion, everyone present nodded simultaneously.

Not only did they find nothing wrong with it, but they also felt it was the right thing to do.

From any angle, having Maxen handle these threats was the best strategy!

Mike frowned slightly, "The only problem is, how do we get the coordinates to Maxen?"

Previous attempts to communicate through the mist had been disrupted by the demon god, all ending in failure.

Joseph immediately responded, "That's not an issue. Maxen carries an item that ensures smooth communication."

Similar to the Magic Conch, Maxen had his own communication item.

"I'll do it!"

Thor volunteered, "I haven't communicated with Maxen in a while. Let me handle it!"

Joseph nodded, thinking the rumors were true.

It was said that Maxen and Thor were very close, with Maxen often picking up Thor's tab at the bar. Their relationship was extraordinary.

"Alright, you do it."

Joseph handed a communication crystal to Mike, allowing him to contact Maxen.

However, Joseph was curious about one thing.

It was just sending coordinates to Maxen; why was Thor so eager to do it?

Could Thor possibly make money off Maxen?

...

Maxen, swinging his blood-red flail, felt the communication crystal at his waist vibrate slightly.

"Got a message?"

Maxen smashed the flail into the ground, instantly killing or injuring countless demon creatures within a thousand yards.

Opening the communication crystal, he brightened at the content.

"Coordinates for nine-tier Lords... but they cost 888 Lord merits each. Damn, why don't you just rob me!"

Maxen's excitement quickly faded, and he scoffed,

"Killing a nine-tier Lord only earns me 360 Lord merits. Spending 888 Lord merits on coordinates means I'd lose 528 merits. Only an idiot would do that!"

Maxen was about to firmly reject the offer when a new message popped up.

"Purchasing coordinates will be considered a cost of the kill, deducted before Lord merits are awarded... Wait, with Professor Gregory's signature as a guarantee?"

Maxen instantly sobered up!

At market value, killing a nine-tier Lord was worth 36,000 Lord merits.

First Godfather took 90%, Second Godfather took 9%, leaving Maxen with 1%, or 360 Lord merits.

If 888 Lord merits were deducted as a cost, Maxen would get 351.2 Lord merits.

He'd only lose 8.88 Lord merits, with First Godfather and Second Godfather bearing 99% of the cost!

Realizing this, Maxen saw potential!

As he hesitated, another message arrived.

[Customer Service]: "Our store is newly opened. For any purchase of 888 Lord merits or more, we offer a 15% rebate in Lord merits, redeemable in materials, appraisals, forging, and other equivalent value items."

Maxen's eyes lit up with excitement!

Buy! Buy! Buy!

With a 15% rebate, spending 800 merits would return 120 Lord merits, nearly the same as killing a third of a nine-tier Lord!

The best part was, this money didn't have to be shared with First Godfather and Second Godfather!

Maxen could take materials or other hard assets as payment, essentially pure profit.

This was the legendary kickback, exploiting a loophole!

Thinking of this, Maxen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Finally, I get to make some money!"

He avoided being taken advantage of by Thor and found a way to profit elsewhere.

It was a win-win!

Maxen immediately replied, "How many coordinates do you have?"

[Customer Service]: "Three. Our store is having a promotion: 3 coordinates bundled for 1888 Lord merits."

Maxen sneered.

Bundled sale?

Too underestimating!

Maxen: "I'll buy them separately!"

[Customer Service]: ...

In the end, under Maxen's insistence,

the 3 coordinates were sold for a total of 3000 Lord merits!

Receiving the coordinates, Maxen felt triumphant, swinging his flail as he eagerly headed to the locations.

"3000 merits, 15% rebate, 450 Lord merits back, this is fantastic!"

"Ever since I met Thor, I've been so broke I almost had to sell my flail!"

"Awesome!"

...

In the fortress, Mike put down the communication crystal, still in disbelief.

It was his first time seeing Maxen willingly raise the price to buy something.

He had never seen such a scene before!

Was this the allure of kickbacks?

But, what would happen if Maxen's kickback scheme was discovered by Morpheus and Ares?

Mike shook his head, forcing himself not to dwell on it.

Setting aside Maxen's safety, the recent transaction, witnessed by Professor Gregory, was within the rules, exploiting a loophole.

Professor Gregory even advanced 3000 Lord merits to Mike.

"450 Lord merits are for Maxen's kickback... ahem, marketing expenses!"

Mike quickly did the math, taking out a black card.

"According to our 30-70 split, here's 765 Lord merits for you, Amari."

Amari silently accepted the black card, feeling a mix of emotions.

Selling the materials brought in 1100 merits, the three coordinates sold for 765, and the kill share was 10800 merits, totaling 12665 Lord merits!

It was the first time Amari realized how profitable killing nine-tier Lords could be!

It was eye-opening, astonishing!

And Thor's earnings were more than double that!

Amari suddenly realized Thor's money-making speed was terrifying!

Mike glanced at his balance, nodding in satisfaction,

"A tidy profit of 29339 Lord merits. Nine-tier Lords are indeed valuable!"

"Alright, I'm pretty much recovered."

Mike put away the card, feeling great and ready to set off again.

Using the Magic Conch, Mike and Amari returned to Cerberus.

"Good job, you'll get an extra chicken leg for dinner."

The previous [demon god seed] was killed by Amari using earth element during the battle.

[Current remaining demon god seeds: 9]

Mike glanced at the current immunities of the demon god seeds, feeling a headache. Nine sorts of elemental immunities.

"We need to plan our next move."

Mike had Amari come out of the shadow, and he returned to Amari's shadow.

This Suture Abyss was very strange; a level 200 person walking around would inevitably attract the attention of nine-tier Lords!

In that case, even a fool would know he was Thor!

After the previous series of operations, Amari was completely convinced by Thor, utterly impressed.

He was sure that following Thor's instructions, they would make a fortune on this abyss trip!

Mike slowly said, "We'll only take on enemies we are confident in defeating, with a success rate of over 95%. We'll kill those ourselves!"

Amari didn't understand what Thor meant by success rate.

But listening to Thor was never wrong!

"If they're too hard to kill, we'll sell the coordinates to Maxen and act as middlemen."

Amari had no objections to Mike's plan.

The two of them, along with the dog, followed the [Eye of Truth] towards the edge of the Abyssal Plane.

They needed to cross this plane to reach the opposite plane to find the remaining demon god seeds.

Moreover, according to the [Eye of Truth], to open a spatial passage and escape the Suture Abyss, they had to go to the opposite plane!

"Go, go, go!"

From the shadow, Mike urged Cerberus to move at full speed.

"Did you hear that? The Lord merits are calling me!"

Cerberus: Meow~
