Chapter 21 - Wallet Back to Square One

Chapter 21 Wallet Back to Square One

The boss’s eyes were trembling.

He had been hunting eagles all year round, and today, he was pecked-blind by an eagle.

What kind of dogsh*t luck did this kid have?

He wanted protective gear, but he won the grand prize!

However, with his excellent professional ethics, the boss still congratulated him with a smile.

“Congratulations, little brother, for obtaining a rare-grade short staff. The estimated market price is one billion magic coins.”

The boss’s words completely woke up the dazed crowd.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe I’m seeing a rare piece of equipment. That’s a super weapon with a 100% spell boost!”

“This luck is too heaven-defying. 100 million turned into 1 billion in the blink of an eye!”

“F*ck, I told you this batch of goods is super high quality. No, I have to try again!”

“I’m going all out. Give me one too!”

After putting the box back into his spatial ring, Xu Tianci pulled Xiaoyu along and left the equipment store under the envious gazes of the crowd.

With this weapon…

He was even more confident about tomorrow’s mission.

What he needed to do now was to increase his and Xiaoyu’s overall strength.

The two of them did not return to their home in the slums. Instead, they walked straight into a high-class hotel.

Xu Tianci knew that he had been too conspicuous today.

Who knew how many people were watching them from behind?

He walked into the presidential suite of the hotel.

Xu Tianci asked Xiaoyu to sit beside him.

He had a huge amount of money and was prepared to further increase the level of his and Xiaoyu’s magical elements.

It had to be said that the number of magic cores a mage needed to advance to a sorcerer was an astronomical figure.

Starting from the mage level, each major realm was divided into four levels: elementary, middle, high, and perfection.

A mere advance from beginner to intermediate level alone would require 50 D-rank magic cores.

From Xu Tianci’s experience…

If he wanted to reach the realm of a sorcerer, he would probably need at least 300 D-rank magic cores.

“The road ahead is long! It’s not a good thing to have too many types of elements!”

“Let’s help Xiaoyu become a mage first!”

Xu Tianci first helped Xiao Yu to get 14 E-rank magic cores, which cost 1.4 million magic coins.

“Xiaoyu, absorb these cores!”

Xiaoyu’s eyes curved into crescents when she saw the magical beast core in her brother’s hand.

He knew that with his brother’s intelligence, he would definitely leave her enough magic cores to advance to a mage.

Xiaoyu nodded obediently and closed her eyes to absorb the energy.

Xu Tianci, on the other hand, went to another room.

He had to think about how to plan his own cultivation.

“I’m an eight-elemental mage. If I want to advance to a sorcerer, I’ll need a total of 2400 D-rank magic cores. One D-rank magic core costs 100000 magic coins.

“Oh my God… 240 million magic coins, gone just like that?”

He looked at the remaining 50 million magic coins in his savings.

Xu Tianci was dumbfounded.

Two hours ago, he was still a billionaire.

And now, he feared that he would soon become that penniless country bumpkin again.

Xu Tianci grabbed the magic cores and stuffed them into his mouth.

In any case, his rate of absorbing magic cores was extremely fast.

Almost as soon as it entered his mouth, the magic cores immediately turned into energy streams and fused into his body.

But then, Xu Tianci was stunned. He realized he could no longer break through after reaching 99.99% of the advanced mage level.

“System, come out quickly. There’s a bug. My strength is not increasing anymore!”

Xu Tianci panicked again.

[Ding! Host, don’t make a fuss, okay? You’ve hit a bottleneck! After the mage realm, there would be a bottleneck with every major breakthrough!]

“Then how do I break through?”

[It’s very simple. There are two ways. The first is for the host to study it by himself, and the second is to buy the spell-breaking potion from the store.]

Xu Tianci quickly searched the system store.

However, when he saw the number of zeros on the price of the spell-breaking potion, he gave up.

Hehe! 100 million a bottle!

He had eight elements, meaning he would need 800 million magic coins.

The system was addicted to ripping off and wouldn’t stop until it emptied itself! “Hmph! I want to comprehend it myself!”

Two hours later, Xu Tianci looked at his attribute panel.

[Host: Xu Tianci]

[Physical fitness: Normal]

[Stage: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, and necromancer maxed out at 99.99%]

[Elemental ability: All-elemental affinity, E-rank]

[Title: All-attribute magician]

[Title bonus: Beginner magic level +2 (Titles can not be worn repeatedly)]

After dealing with his own matters, Xu Tianci turned his attention back to the system store. He was going to give Xiaoyu a magic skill. Previously, he had not seen a skill book for the lightning element in the magic shop. The system store also sold skill books that could be traded.

However, these skills could not be upgraded continuously like Xu Tianci’s.

They seemed to be the same as the ones sold outside, and could not be upgraded. “F-rank lightning art, F-rank lightning escape art, E-rank rapid lightning art, E-rank lightning binding art, D-rank spell-breaking sprinting thunder, and D-rank heavenly lightning tribulation.”

“It’s really expensive!”

“We’re back to square one!” Looking at the remaining 23254 magic coins in his bank account, Xu Tianci wanted to return to a few hours ago.

In contrast to his dejected state, Xiaoyu, who had just finished learning the spell, was extremely excited.

“Brother, why don’t we get our magic level verified?” Xiaoyu suggested.

“No. Xu Tianci shook his head slowly. Do you want the whole world to know that you’ve become a mage at 16?”

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu immediately understood what Xu Tianci meant. She shook her head violently and said, “I don’t want to be a lab rat, but I’m so bored now!”

“Then let’s go to the mercenary guild. There’s a training room there. While there’s still time, let’s get used to our bodies.”

Xu Tianci fondly touched the little girl’s forehead.

He naturally knew that this little girl wanted to find a place to cast a few spells.

After all, she had always wanted to become a mage since she was young. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he naturally couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.

Thus, they left the hotel and went straight to the guild. he two of them entered the guild and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

“Whose young master and young lady are these? Why are they so free to come here and play?”

“I don’t know. He looks unfamiliar. Maybe he’s visiting Cloud City from another city.”

“That little girl is really pretty!”

“So what if they’re pretty? Didn’t you feel magic waves from them?”

“Now that you mention it, I can feel it. It seems to be very powerful!”

“A conservative estimate is that he’s at least a mage apprentice!

“Oh my God, how old are they? I’m afraid only a prominent family can cultivate such geniuses!”

At the same time that the group of people praised, the envy in their eyes was not concealed at all.

The brother and sister who entered the mercenary guild looked left and right.

It was their first time here, and the scene in front of them was so novel to them. “Brother, the third floor is the battle simulation training room. I want to check it out!” Xiaoyu froze when she saw the image on the electronic screen.

“You go. I’ll take a walk!”
