Chapter 149: Second-life core
Along the way, Pure-mana gems and Ice Elemental pet feed caught his eyes. Their standard price was dozens of contribution points. Under the guidance of Noah, he brought the cheapest ones that only cost 10 or so points. The traders were in a hurry to make some buck so they didn't bicker when he arrogantly stated the same demand he used when trading with Tera.
Noah told him that pure-mana gems could be used in the Six formation disk to create mana wall formation. He just needs to inscribe the necessary magical rune design on one of the disks. The rest will be automatic. Plus, Pure-mana crystal could also be used to increase and reinforce the strength of the Mana wall formation. Whereas Ice elemental pet feed had no use for him but it was useful for Wolfie.
Wolfie will become stronger once he eats it.
As he wandered through the store, he came face to face with an overpriced item. It was a piece of soul equipment. Noah explained to him what soul equipment is.
Soul equipment are accessories such as Rings and Amulets that can increase soul force once someones wear them. However, their lifespan is limited. For example, a piece of soul equipment will become a normal piece of accessory once a person absorbs the soul force inside of it. Moreover, they were very rare and a single piece with 100 units of Soul force was being sold for more than 10000 spirit world contribution points or 100000 royal credit points.
Whittaker didn't have enough points to purchase something so costly. Realizing that he was too poor and surfing through the universal store will just be a waste, he asked the store to transfer all the items he purchased to him.
Just like previously, he was charged with 10 contribution points. A spatial portal opened up, spewing out a box, and then it closed. He opened up the top of the wooden box and saw it was filled with 100s of crystal. There were different kinds of pure-mana crystal and elemental pet feed inside of it.
After storing them in his rankless ring of genesis, Whittaker starts to meditate in the Grand star visualization soul technique. Six hours later, he stopped meditation.
It was time to meet up with Elder Zachary!
"Good afternoon, come and eat!" Zachary said. He was sitting in his chair and eating a sandwich that Nina just prepared. A blackboard, table, and chair were placed beside him. On the table, a meal for Whitaker was placed.
"Thanks, you too!" He replied while running up to the table. "The sandwich smells great, what's used in it?" He exclaimed and Noah's notification instantly popped up in his eyes. The sandwich was made from scarlet-scale dragon salmon which is only found in the depth of the oceans and a lot of underwater kingdom spices were used to enhance its flavor and crispiness. Whittaker ate a bite. It was filled with energy and gave him a permanent increase in vitality and health regeneration.
"It's a grilled salmon sandwich of the highest quality. The fish used to prepare it comes from the depth of the ocean. It's the famous scarlet-scale dragon salmon. Scarlet-scale dragon salmon is a rare magical beast classified as a mammal fish. They normally reside inside the depth of Submarine volcanoes dungeon. The dungeon is located in the sea of the Flame Kingdom. Only during the first and second months can these fish be captured. That's why they are also considered as a deep-sea delicacy and this fish is ranked 7th on the best sandwich of the world." Elder Zachary explained.
What he didn't tell the young boy was that he hunted the finest Salmon for his sake. He wasn't interested in telling him that either.
Whittaker was curious and interested in this subject.
He asked while eating, "Elder, why can this fish be captured only during winter?"
"This dungeon isn't an inheritance type but a nature type. Chances of certain death are pretty high in submarine volcanic dungeon. In the past several decades, the submarine volcanoes dungeon has barely erupted some times during winter but it erupts several times during other seasons. The winter is the safest to hunt for Scarlet-scale dragon salmon. That's why only during the first and second months do awakens partake in clearing this dungeon." He replied.
Nature type dungeon exists in particular areas of the world where the density of elemental mana is exceedingly huge than normal level. These dungeons are formed naturally, without the assistance of other parties, and there's a huge chance of a gruesome death in these types of dangerous dungeons.
"So death is real. But this place seems interesting," Whittaker was shocked and excited at the same time. "Elder, what's the minimum power level necessary to adventure into this place?"
"At least B-rank. Those below will not be able to hold their own against the toxic heat of the hot magma." Zachary said while eating the last bite of his sandwich.
In response, Whittaker blinked his eyes while thinking, 'I should first focus on the Monster tower, and when I'm powerful enough then I'll go to the flame kingdom and explore its submarine volcanic dungeon. For now, let's finish this mean and get the pitch-black crystal unsealed!'
Whittaker gobbled up the sandwich in thirty seconds. At the very moment, Noah notified,
[Vitality increased: 610]
Stats effect induced
[Health point increased: 60100]
[Health regeneration increased: 35]
He patted his stomach in satisfaction and stared at Elder Zachary, who was preparing tea.
Whittaker was gonna show him the mysterious crystal but Elder Zachary handed over the second-life core to him with one hand while pouring tea in two cups in another.
"Before going to bed, eat this core. It will take 8 hours of meditation to consume it but it will be worth it." He said.
When Whittaker gazed at the core, Noah's notification popped up. What he saw surprised him so much that his eyes opened wide in disbelief and he spat out a dumbfounded chuckle.
"This this is too op!"
