Chapter 148: Obtaining mysterious treasure

Without any further adieu, they both signed the trade agreement paper on the holographic screen. It had appeared in front of them the moment the trade progressed to the negotiation part.

"Can you tell me what's the reason you bought an unidentified item for 2000 contribution points?" Tera asked after the trade was completed.

Whittaker wasn't gonna tell him that its because Noah identified this item as a very rare treasure but there was no reason to lie. He merely twisted his word and said,

"Just trying my luck. I believe that it's gonna be a very rare item,"

After saying that, he disconnected from the trade portal. Left alone, Tera pondered on his words.

"So he's a gambler. Life Taker, this person might become my regular customer," Tera thought while sending a friend request to Life Taker. However, his request was denied.

For some reason, Life Taker was not registered in the dream world or the mana net!

"Not registered? He is either overcautious or a hidden agent," Tera said while twirling around in his chair.

Ding* A new message then popped up on his holographic screen. He then looked at the holographic screen once again.

"An ancient awakened appeared suddenly and killed this year King Salmon. Many attacked to get the treasures of King Salmon but life was sucked out of their bodies and they died mysteriously. The ancient awakened also took the second life core. Anyways, there's no King Salmon left in the submarine volcanic dungeon, this the best time for us to hunt. You coming?"

The message came along with the pictures of human skeletons.

"Hahaha. Fortunately, I silently escaped yesterday otherwise why I would have become a piles of bone!" Tera laughed his ass off while typing in, "Why wouldn't I? Get the entire party ready for the hunt,"

Tera had went to that dungeon yesterday. However, unlike the others, he left the very moment he noticed that the ancient awakened is Zachary from the Wind Kingdom. Although he was surprised for a Wind Kingdom expert has come to a dungeon in the Fire Kingdom, he still made instant judgment, determining what he might have come for.

On the other hand, Whitaker received multiple universal store system notifications.

Ding!

You have utilized 1999 contribution points to purchase unidentified Rune. Now, you only have 2000 contribution points remaining. The item is stored in the dreamworld treasury. You can enter the dream world and get it from there the universal store system notified him.

Once a person puts up something for sale, it will be stored in the dreamworld treasury. It's a protection system against any possible scan. For example, without this system in place, a trader can replace his item with something trashy at the end of the trade. Tera pitch-black crystal was placed in the treasury before the trade was initiated.

"But I don't have access to the spirit world, my privilege level is still 1," Whittaker said, distressed at the situation.

Dear customer, you can utilize the portal delivery service and the item you purchased will directly materialize in front of you. However, this service will cost you 10 contribution points

"Hooray!" He was surprised and happy to find out that the store has a portal delivery service. This service instantly transports an item from one place to another and was considered the best delivery service in the entire Awakened continent.

"Store, utilize the portal delivery service and teleport the item I just purchased to me," Whittaker said.

Just like previously, a symbol formed in front of him and he understood that it's something like a trade portal. He placed his hand to confirm the use of the service.

After the symbol confirmed that its Life Taker, a spatial vortex opened, and instantly a box was spewed out of it and it crashed on the floor. Right after, the spatial vortex closed.

Whittaker was laying on his bed, feeling too lazy to move. He used telekinesis and the box floated towards him. He placed it on the bed and opened it up by removing the wooden top.

When he gazed at it, a notification popped up,

Mysterious pitch-black crystal

Status: Sealed

Energy fluctuation: Space, wind, light

Noah believes that it's either a powerful bomb, an advanced-level magical rune design, or a rune

He knows what a bomb is. It detonates and produces a huge blast to kill a lot. It was a weapon of mass destruction, commonly used in war. Although it being a bomb will be the best outcome, Whittaker wished that it will be one of the other two. However, he first needs to unseal it.

"But how do I unseal it? Noah, do you have a way to unseal it?" Whittaker asked.

I can unseal it if the guardian provides me with 1000 units of soul force. But it would be better if the guardian goes to an expert inscriptionist like elder Zachary to unseal it Noah said.

"Yes, I should just ask help from Elder Zachary!" Whittaker nodded his head in agreement. He knows when and where to find Elder Zachary. Zachary will be waiting for him on the training ground when it's 2 p.m. Currently, the day has just begun so he needed to wait for some hours.

"By the way, Noah do you need Soul Force for other reasons?" He asked.

Yes! The Guardian can upgrade me by using 1000 units of soul force. Once I am upgraded, new features will be unlocked.

System's Quest Activated: Obtain 1000 units of soul force for the system

Rewards: Night's shop, Instant Equip, Instant Use Battle assistance mode

A new quest was activated!

His eyes stared at the reward but no notification popped up.

"Noah, what are these rewards?" Whittaker asked curiously.

The Guardian Ancestor has stored a lot of his high-end and good treasures in the pendant of night for a suitable inheritor. Once I am upgraded, I will be able to access the treasury inside of the night pendant and get items you like. But each treasure comes with a price. By using Instant Equip, the guardian will be able to directly equip any item in the inventory with a single thought. Similarly, with a thought, the guardian will be able to use an item directly from the inventory. While I will be able to help you in a fight once the battle assistance mode is activated Noah explained.

Whittaker was interested in trying out these functions of his system. He decided to earnestly train every day and increase his soul force.

"There might be items that can increase soul force in the universal store. Using them to increase soul force will be far faster than meditating all day long, and I will also help you locate special items with cheap prices if there are any." Noah gently reminded the young boy, who was eager to upgrade it.

"Thank Noah, you're the best," Whittaker happily replied.

He accessed the universal store once again and started to scroll through the screen to look for an item that can increase his soul force. All the while, he window-shopped and gained information about new items. Noah will point out and explain the detail of every item that was beneficial to him.
