Chapter 235 Rich Payout
Dante's expression was grim. It meant that, even though he himself could not use items procured from quantum worlds that directly affected his superpower, he was now hard-limited to the S Rank for his family and friends if they used these cores.
Why was this bad? Well, Dante himself knew his limit was not at the S Rank but at the EX. With a superpower like Quantum Entanglement and a backer like that cosmic tree, it would be a waste if he did not reach the peak of the ranking in time.
If his friends and family were stuck at the S rank, they would not only be losing out on their own power but also be limited. Anyway, that was a problem for later, and hopefully, he could find a way around it.
Right now, though, Dante was done with his rampage in the Apocalypse World. He knew that S Rank monsters posed a slight danger to him mostly due to their special abilities rather than stats, but those at the SS Rank and above likely surpassed him for now.
Not to mention fighting them had no incentive since their Mutation Cores would not contain what he needed. As such, Dante teleported away and gathered the corpses of a few D Rank and C rank monsters from a random area together.
He had done the calculations, and absorbing them all should bring him exactly to the next boundary without a single point overspilling. Upon making the necessary absorption, Dante shook off the addictive effect's negative influence and decided to harvest this account and the previous one.
To do so, he rushed into a 'dungeon' with B Rank monsters that was seen as a danger zone by players. Dante 'pulled' all the monsters to himself and then self-destructed his 1024 dantians, causing a huge nuclear-level explosion that shook almost the entire world.
He logged out of the Apocalypse World as his avatar was dead and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His dantians were empty as hell as he had released the energy wantonly using his real body and then bailed at the last moment, leaving his weak virtual body to bear the consequences along with all the monsters in the area.
Of course, it was torched to ash along with everything in that area. Dante teleported the energy pool within the Dreadnought that Beatrice had installed for him and released his Gluttonous Inferno to wantonly refine the energy within.
Unfortunately, this did not directly replenish internal force. Gluttonous Inferno was overpowered because it could restore his base energy, which was used for all life functions, the energy you basically got from drinking and eating daily.
However, this 'base energy' was needed to restore Internal Force, generate blood energy, generate life essence for the knight system, and while it had no effect on the magus system's growth, even a 9th Rank mage needed to eat and replenish, as Spiritual Energy could not sustain life.
While Dante replenished his energy, which was rapidly turned into Internal Force and filling his dantians crazily. You could picture the x-ray of a water tank that was being filled, but this water tank was connected through a pipe to 1024 others.
Even though it was filling up fast, the rate was not proportional to the size, so it would clearly take some time to replenish. This was even taking into account the fact that Dante had rapid restoration and an infinite energy source.
Imagine typical Internal Arts users of the True Martial World who had to sit down and chant their scriptures while turning their base energy into internal force. If there was one thing Western Fantasy magic had over Eastern Fantasy cultivation, it was that mana recharged automatically and quickly.
A fight between mages was grand and long-drawn-out, while cultivators would unleash blows and then have to squat down by the side to recharge furiously before unleashing big blows again.
Anyway, Dante checked his earnings from his previous three runs, including this recent one.

This one was for his run back when he raised his SDI from 1000 to 1500. It was only special because he cleared a lot of spiderlings at the time and killed the E rank spider warriors before bouncing.

And this one was from his run when he went from 1500 to 2000 in his SDI. That one was even quicker, he didn't bother to deal with too many spiderlings since they were already limited, and the Spider Queen had been suffering at the time.
He then fought the terrified Spider Warriors who lamented his return, then killed a Spider Lord who led them to attack but tried to run. After that, he gave the Spider Queen some resources to help her.

And this was the payout for this one. Dante smiled as he could imagine the serious turmoil the school was undergoing right now. What surprised him though, was that he got player and native kills.
Of course, Dante did not know how the scale of his explosion would be as he had booked it out of there, but even if he stayed, he would have turned to ash, so how could he possibly know?
However, this statistic told him that the range hadn't been small since he was in the middle of nowhere at the time. Just how far did the explosion reach that it killed this many players and natives in the region?
And those monster kills, Jesus.
He could physically account for only 1 C Rank, 1 B Rank, 1 A Rank, and all the S Rank kills, but the rest were definitely a result of his explosion. The fact that it had been powerful enough to even take out another A Rank monster made Dante have a clearer idea of his power.
With this many Supercoins, Dante could get virtually anything he wanted. The most expensive thing the school sold was time in the Black Land, and that was priced at 10,000 Supercoins per second.
Well, with 15.5 million, he could buy 1,550 seconds or just under 26 minutes of time in the Black Land, which was unprecedented!
No one had ever earned this amount of Supercoins in a short amount of time. Even the best of the best had to slave in various quantum worlds for years until the very end of their 5th year before they redeemed everything at once.
What was crazy was that Dante could spam this earning method by entering, exploding, and then recharging when he came out. However, doing this would obviously provoke the school and cause them to change the rules on his account, as well as have the effect of making them investigate him, thereby unnecessarily unveiling his abilities.
He wanted people to know that he could take things from quantum worlds for his future business to be legit, yes, but not that he could enter them directly and benefit from them. Otherwise, his enemies might just wait for him to enter a quantum world and then shut it down.
Or they could nerf all the quantum worlds out there and even shut down the Etraverse in order to forcefully limit his future.
Besides, what he needed all these Supercoins for was to upgrade his Bionics, Psionics as well as AI chip to the highest grades available, and he could now purchase them. He could probably afford the highest grades, and he was no longer scared of undergoing extended treatment in the school because he had many ways to deal with attackers.
With that in mind, Dante called up the list of items sold by the school and their prices before filtering out what he wanted.
