BXBX NOVEL Chapter 241 - Shopping…what?!
Ace was looking at the notification panel in front of him that he received after robbing the Nightmare Ghost branch\'s treasury two hours ago. He was busy \'leaving\' the place, so he doesn\'t have time to see what rewards he got.

{Mission Failure Punishment: System Shop closing for 200 Years!}
======
Ace doesn\'t react much to seeing the reward because he knew after the thief rank advancement; the system has increased the reward evaluation procedure. Because if he had robbed this branch before his thief rank advancement, this thievery would\'ve been middle-level one, not just low-level.
Nevertheless, he had accommodated an ample amount of TP before his rank advancement, and he still had 29 targets and all the middle-level lands to theft from. He was confident no one could stop him as long as they weren\'t a Bronze River Core Cultivator.
Just like what happened to Nightmare Ghosts\' Branch a few hours ago, he easily fooled those assassins and even \'clean\' the treasury in less than an hour after they took their eyes off of him.
With soul-shattering eyes, he can enter and leave any formation as long as it wasn\'t a grade-2 or perfect, and he knew this was impossible!
The mission that was almost seemed impossible before was now a breeze for Ace after he entered the Heavenly Dark Sea realm.
Ace enjoyed the meal after he was done with the notification panel, he didn\'t remember when was the last time he was this relaxed and enjoy a proper meal.
Although after a cultivator enter the Qi river realm they didn\'t need to drink, sleep, or eat anything as long as they had Qi and Qi stone to replenish it. Furthermore, the lifespan of a Qi river cultivator was also 500 years long.
But some cultivators still relished the high-quality delicacies and beverages.
Just like Ace, he was a mortal before stepping in the path of cultivation and because of his poor background, he always ate cheap and insipid food with reserved, so he could save money for rainy days.
However, now he was as rich as someone could be, and he knew he would not stop anytime soon. That\'s why he likes dining while traveling, he stopped by and eats anything that caught his fancy. He even had some good cooking books about how to cook a demonic beast, it wasn\'t a big deal for him to remember all of them.
Furthermore, he felt more human by eating and drinking once in a while; he believes as a human he should preserve and never forget humanly natural habits and become mindless slaves to power.
After he was done with a hearted meal, he didn\'t leave immediately and practiced the skills that he typically used, like his swords skills and technique, which still didn\'t show any sign of entering the second realm even after he found a way to lose the bottleneck. It was as if he was still missing something very important, but he don\'t know what.
However, his ruin crafting was a completely different story because he could feel he can become a Tier-1 Heavenly Rune Crafter as soon as he mastered everything he learned with his Heavenly Wind Soul Qi.
He was already halfway done and in one or two days he was confident in covering everything. He was looking forward to the reward that the system didn\'t give him before, Basic-Talisman Crafting Technique!
After he was done with his daily routine. An excited smile surfaced on Ace\'s face as he mumbled, "I almost forgot about that, it\'s time for shopping!"
"System, open the shop for me!" Ace commanded with a huge grin on his face.
====
[System Shop]
{Available Skill Books}
{Available Techniques}
{Available Weapons}
{Available Pills}
====
The familiar system shop panel appeared in front of Ace\'s eyes.
Ace completely ignored the skill section since he had already emptied it last time and said, "Open Techniques section!"
====
[Available Techniques]
[Soul Words {Despair Manual}]
{Price: 50,000TP}
[Heaven\'s Stealer Disassembler Manual {First Vol}]
{Price: 100,000TP}
====
"I want to buy everything!" Ace said, like a rich scion. Before he didn\'t have enough TP or one could say he didn\'t even have any TP to buy these expensive techniques.
But now, he can empty the system shop without even looking at the prices.
However, the system\'s next reply almost made him puke blood,
"[The system shop is not available at this moment. Please upgrade the system!]"
"WHAT?!" Ace almost had a stroke while his expression was cloudy.
Ace gritted his teeth and asked with indignation, "Then why the hell you open the damn thing if it was unavailable?"
"[To let host, see.]"
Ace\'s face was as dark as charcoal after hearing his, and he pursed his lips while yelling at the system, "You did it on fucking purpose, right?!"
However, no reply came, which made Ace even more credulous that the system had pranked him. But alas, he can do nothing but fume in resentment.
Now, that his shopping plan had gone down to drain, he wasn\'t in the mood of relaxing anymore, and he felt even more urgency to upgrade the black-hearted system.
Because there were many things in the shop that he was planning to raise his strength further, like those Low-Grade Insight Pills that can instantly raise any skill proficiency by a single stage!
His only relief was he still had those leftover grade-one pills he purchased before heavenly punishment.
But he was still determined to complete the system mission as soon as possible!
