In the hidden basement of the castle, Maximus contemted which function to add first to the token.


    Even though he could buy runic programs, he still had to input them manually which can take weeks.


    Instant instation wasn''t possible, so choosing the initial function was crucial.


    He initially considered a banking system program but realized there was no bank in his territory.


    While banking had been poprized in prosperous areas where the EGCC was stationed, but his territory was just beginning to take shape.


    The only ce in Sunburnt teau that have a bank is Berunn City, which primarily handles the exchange of gold coins and magic crystal.


    Moreover, you can''t even withdraw from it, if he needed money he can only go to Elnor Ind or other prosperous ces in the cursed continent.


    The reason EGCC handle gold coins and magic crystal exchange is that the metal currency they minted is universally epted, and you can convert it to magic crystal directly.


    While it was possible to create one''n currency, it could only be used locally and couldn''t be used for trade in other ces.


    Counterfeiting was also out of the question, as the minted gold coins distributed by the EGCC were specially processed.


    One might wonder why a faction as influential as the EGCC still needed mortal currency.


    Well, magic crystals were the main currency used exclusively by mages and knights.


    But what about themon people?


    Although on the Arcane Continent, they could at least be official mages or knights when they grew up, that required at least rank 2 umon talent.


    The chances of that happening, even in a mana-rich environment like the Arcane Continent, were only 1 in 3 people.


    For the remaining 70 percent, they would remain mediocre their entire lives without a change of fate or a lot of money.


    Considering the poption of at least billions of trillions on the Arcane Continent, what currency did this 70 percent of the poption use?


    They couldn''t use magic crystals, as they were also crucial resources for cultivation.


    This is where the EGCC gold and metal currency came into y.


    After all, currency wasn''t just about making people rich, but also about circting resources.


    So, even though gold or certain metals might be considered worthless, they still served as currency, specifically the ones minted by the EGCC.


    ...


    He crossed out the banking system for now since without a physical station, it wouldn''t work.


    Although it was his main n to poprize digital currency and cultivate its sentimental value and exchange in the system, he still needed to build a physical station for it.


    He estimated it would take at least a month to get it roughly done.


    However, before that, the first function he considered was a forum or chatting program.


    While it might not offer immediate benefits on the surface, it would be his most powerful tool to influence the minds of his people.


    After all, he had just conquered them and relocated them to this ce.


    There might be hidden resentment among them, which could be a ticking time bomb in the future.


    But with the forum function, he could subtly feed them his thoughts and indoctrinate them without their knowledge.


    Additionally, it would serve as a useful propaganda tool when he started implementing changes in the future.


    Clicking into the system mall, he searched for runic system programs rted to forums and messaging.


    What appeared were different runguages that he wasn''t familiar with.


    The options were as follows:


    [EldRune: The oldest runguage from the era of Titans and Ancient Dragons, mainly used by Ents as a building block for their roots. Due to its ancientness, it had be a forgotten runguage, making it harder to decipher.


    Click to customize a runic program.]


    [Arcana Scrip: The most popr runguage, known for its easy-toplex patterns, making it extremely versatile and adaptable to any runic device.


    Click to customize a runic program.]


    [Runic Tongue: The easiest runguage to learn, utilizing spoken or writtennguage to imbue the runic program.


    Click to customize a runic program.]


    ...


    After browsing through the avable options, Maximus narrowed down his choices to three types of runic programs: EldRune, Arcana Scrip, and Runic Tongue.


    The EldRune was the most secure option but also the most expensive, which wasn''t a concern for him as he could afford it.


    However, it was the most challenging runguage to inscribe, with highlyplicated runes that made him feel dizzy just looking at them.


    The Arcana Scrip, on the other hand, was average in terms of price, difficulty, and protection.


    However, It was versatile enough that even if he wanted to add other runguages in the future, it would still function.


    Lastly, the Runic Tongue was the simplest and cheapest option avable.


    It''s so simple that he only need written or spokennguage in a specific frequency to inscribe.


    Moreover, it required less than a tenth of the time to inscribe.


    Although easy to operate, itcked strong protection, making it vulnerable to potential attacks. Maximus decided to cross it off his list.


    After much thought, he chose the EldRune primarily due to its superior protection.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He knew that with the Arcana Scrip, he could easily change itter if he had the time


    However, since his doing it anyway, why not go all out?


    Clicking on the customization tab, he implemented several main functions and misceneous features that he liked, based on the forum and messaging apps from his previous life.


    After confirming his choices and paying the cost of 165 million GP, he patiently waited for a while until a jade slip materialized in his hands.


    Satisfied, he temporarily stored it in his storage ring.


    Maximus badly needed rest.


    Setting up the array without food and sleep for a month had taken a toll on his spirit.


    Although he could go without food and sleep for a year by just absorbing mana, he was ustomed to extravagance, reveling in richness and beauty.


    A month of emotionless and concentrated work had left him feeling fatigued.


    As for why he couldn''t rest while setting up the formation, it was because once he started, he couldn''t stop.


    The consumable materials, such as void stone dust, would vanish without a connection to the formation, so he had to hurry andplete the formation array.


    ...


    The next day, in one of the bedrooms of the castle, Maximus was sleeping soundly on his bed.


    Outside the door, three little girls were carefully opening the door to his room.


    "Be careful, you might wake up Dad," Lily cautioned her two sisters, upon seeing L already giggling.


    The two nodded and followed her lead, walking on their toes.


    Maximus, in his castle, felt safe and at home, especially with multiple array formations enhancing security.


    Earlier, when he returned from the arcane continent with hundreds of billion GP, he splurged and bought multiple Tier 6 formation arrays to strengthen the castle''s defenses.


    So it''s understandable, that he still sleeps soundly, without much awareness of his surroundings.


    Once the little girls reached the side of the bed, L attempted to poke his father''s cheek, who was still sleeping.


    They were nning to y a prank on their father.


    "What do we do now?" L asked in a whisper, looking at Lily and Lydia.


    "Should we cover his nose?" L asked.


    "No, that''s bad." Lydia who was silent shook her head.


    "I know," Lily then shared her n with her sisters in a whisper.


    Maximus suddenly felt something poking him on the side of his stomach, which caused him to wake up.


    "What-" To his surprise, he found his three daughters trying to tickle him.


    Caught off guard by their actions, the girls couldn''t hold back theirughter any longer.


    "HAHAHA!"


    "How dare you!" Maximus yfully yelled and attacked them in return, tickling them back.


    "HAHAHA!" The three tried to run away, but it was futile.


    "No more, no more!" They begged.


    Maximus stopped and gave them a hug and a kiss on their cheeks.


    "Good morning," He said warmly.


    "Good morning too, Daddy!" L and Lydia replied.


    "Good morning, Dad!" Lily added.


    Curious, Maximus asked, "Where are your mothers?" as he couldn''t see them in the room.


    "They are cooking. They knew you came backst night and nned to have a sumptuous breakfast," Lily exined.


    "And your brothers?"


    "Me, me, I know!" L raised her hand as if she were reciting.


    "Go on," Maximus nodded, amused.


    "They are ying with Zarr, Noir, and Banana!" L excitedly exined.


    "Who are those?" Maximus asked, feeling puzzled.


    "It''s the lion, panther, and monkey you gave us, Daddy."


    "Oh," Maximus realized.


    After his return, he had only spent about two days with his family before leaving for his task of talking to other rulers.


    Then, he hade back briefly and immediately started setting up the formation, so he wasn''t aware that their pets were already named.


    "What about yours? Where are your pets?"


    "We left them with our mothers and came to see you," Lily exined.


    "Then let''s go have breakfast," Maximus said, enjoying the morning with his beloved daughters.
