Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

Rosella agreed instantly,

​"Yes, I will become the CEO. But I have a condition: I must have a share in the company. I don’t want to be kicked out again like I was at my last job."

​"Deal. You will get 10%, and I will hold 80%," Neo replied coolly.

​"What about the other 10%?" Rose asked curiously.

​He replied, "We have another partner. His name is Master Dorok, an experienced crafter and shop owner. He will assist us with his connections to drive sales."

​"Ah, that’s great then. Connections are very important, and a master craftsman like him will be invaluable."

​Neo and Rosella returned to their homes late at night after everything was settled. Beyond the business deal, they had enjoyed each other’s company.

​[ Dear Sir, Your account has been credited with the amount of $20,000,000 from account XXXXXX ]

​[ Wealth: $25,600,200 FD (Federal Dollars) | 0.00 UC (Universal Credits) ]

​That same night, Neo received his $20 million share from the Apex Nebula Group.

​Neo quickly transferred $10 million into Rosella’s account, instructing her to rent an office and a warehouse the following day. He also told her to hire employees to handle distribution. For now, they would sell at local markets with a profit-sharing scheme, just like everyone else.

​Neo didn’t know much about business, so he let Rose handle the other necessary legal procedures.

The main problem was that supplying so many water bottles to the market would cost him a lot of time. He would need to automate the process in some way or another; otherwise, he would not have time to progress as a Dominator.

​He was currently having a late-night dinner with his mother, who noticed his absentmindedness.

​"Son, are you okay?" her voice echoed worriedly in the silent atmosphere. "You have been looking too out of place lately. Did something happen during the mission that you couldn’t forget?"

​Her question earned a chuckle from him. "No, Mom, I am just busy with some work. I am doing everything just to keep our family safe."

​

​His mother, Maria, didn’t look convinced.

She set her fork down, her eyes softening as she reached across the table to pat his hand.

To her, he wasn’t a Beyonder or the founder of a corporation, he was just the boy who used to help her in the kitchen.

​"You’ve always carried a lot on your shoulders, Neo. But don’t forget to breathe. A family is safe when they are together, not just when they are protected."

​Neo nodded, feeling a rare moment of peace. However, as soon as he finished his meal and returned to his room, his mind snapped back to the Sovereign Corporation.

He looked at his hands, where the faint hum of cosmic force still lingered.

​

​He couldn’t spend eighteen hours a day manually synthesizing Aqua Core Flasks. Even with his high Cosmic Force levels, it was an inefficient use of a "Universal Synthesis’s" potential.

​Neo accessed his internal [Status] and [Universal Synthesis] skill to look for a solution. Unfortunately, he found no hidden ability that promised such automation. Then, he remembered his [Godsmith] talent; he could try dismantling the water bottle to create a blueprint for it.

​However, this task required extreme intricacy and machine learning. He needed Clark and Elena’s help to create the blueprint and the necessary machines to manufacture the specific parts. Once the blueprint and machines were completed, he would deliver them to the factory to begin automation. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

​With that thought in mind, Neo went out and called Elena to send a small carrier to pick him up. The carrier arrived shortly after and stealthily took him to the secret location in orbit where Ghost was stationed.

​Once inside, he was greeted by Ghost’s cheerful welcome. "Welcome back, Master. Where would you like to go now?"

​"Nowhere," Neo replied as he walked calmly toward the bridge. After seating himself on the throne, he summoned Dr. Clark from his lab while Elena remained at her post monitoring the ship’s functions.

​"Neo, isn’t it currently nighttime in Cloud City? Why have you come here so urgently?" Elena asked. "Is it something serious? Are we going on a mission?"

​Neo shook his head. "No. But I have a task for Clark and you. Once he arrives, perhaps you two can help me decode this thing."

​He showed the Aqua Core Flask to Elena. She scanned it with her advanced X-ray vision and became surprised.

​"I see very, very difficult runic patterns and nodes, Neo. I don’t think I was made for this purpose."

​Neo smiled. "I know, Elena. You two will just assist me. I just need you to design the blueprint and make the automation machine required to manufacture these water bottles."

"Oh, everything is fine then."

​Elena seemed relieved.

​Soon, Clark hurriedly came before Neo, wearing his usual white coat and square glasses. Neo explained the assignment just as he had to Elena. Unlike Elena, Clark showed great interest in the task.

​Soon, the three of them entered the laboratory and began dismantling the Aqua Core Flask. The 700 people on the ship had no idea that a great discovery was being made inside that laboratory, one that would one day change their lives.

​The results came 3 hours later:

​The Blueprint: By utilizing his Godsmith talent, Neo successfully mapped the internal runic nodes, creating a digitized schematic that Elena could process.

​The Production Unit: Dr. Clark identified that the infinite water generation was a result of a miniaturized Molecular transformation engine contained within the flask’s base.

​The Automation Plan: Elena designed a specialized assembly drone capable of etching the complex runic patterns at high speeds, removing the need for Neo to manually synthesis every unit.

​Energy Efficiency: They confirmed that the standard power cells would indeed last for a full week of continuous operation before requiring a replacement.

​The Prototype Machine: Clark began the initial assembly of "Unit-01," a massive industrial machine that could produce 500 flasks every twenty-four hours.

Neo was nonetheless satisfied.

All was left to procure materials and begin production.
