Chapter 799 - Gacha
As soon as he returned to his room, he opened his system, specifically his mission.
[Mission: Destroy Snow White Mountain and Fire God Clan (Complete)
Reward: Premium Ticket x30 or Gacha Coin x20 or Gacha Hammer x10
Description: Time to settle the score.]
"Hmm. Which one is my luck today…" Alex was humming while tapping the mission. The notification suddenly turned into a blue ball before projecting a ticket, a coin, and a hammer above it. It changed continuously as it was rolling the Gacha.
After a few seconds, the clicking sound of changing started getting lower and lower while the changing speed also got slower until it stopped on one item.
[Congratulations on getting Gacha Hammer x10.]
"It\'s the hammer, huh… I don\'t really mind though. Besides, I am able to get two UR items from this. I hope it\'s not like the previous time I used the Dart Gacha… Ugh, I don\'t want to think about it." Alex pinched the bridge of his nose.
The darts actually got one SR and two R items. Even though he worked hard to complete the mission, which needed him to stop the ritual that the Snow White Mountain held. At the very least, this time, he would get two UR no matter his luck.
"Open the Gacha Palace," Alex commanded.
The white door appeared as soon as he commanded, and Alex pushed the door open, finding Lin Xingzhi, who was about to open the door.
"Ah!" She opened her mouth in surprise before chuckling. "It seems you are pretty eager this time. Usually, you would wait until I opened the door."
"Well…" Alex scratched his head. "I opened the door without thinking."
"So, it has become your instinct. It seems I am pretty lucky to have you want to meet me on an instinctual level." She grinned as if she just won.
"Wait. What?" Alex was taken aback, wondering where the conclusion came from. "I… I do want to see you, but I don\'t think it\'s not at that level yet…"
She stuck her tongue playfully before walking toward the Gacha Crystal.
Alex looked at her back and couldn\'t help but smile. He couldn\'t comprehend her actions. Sometimes she acted mature, sometimes she acted in a playful manner, and some other times she acted like someone in his equal. Yet, everything resulted in something good for him.
\'Did… No, she knows me well…" Alex scratched his head embarrassedly before following her. As soon as he arrived at the machine, he tapped the button and summoned a crystal for him.
He shattered the crystal with his Gacha Hammer and repeated the process ten times.
[Deep Frozen Crystal (SR) x1]
[Rank 8 Monster Skin (SR) x1]
[Water Tank (R) x1]
[Dragon Glaive (R) x1]
[Spear Mastery (UR) x1]
[Berserker Blood (R) x1]
[Jade Bloodla Ganoderma (SR) x1]
[Ice Jade Technique (R) x1]
[Sky Piercing Rapier (SR) x1]
[Rank 9 Monster Blood (UR) x1]
"Hmm… Now, let\'s see what kind of items I get this time." Alex muttered as he went through the first item.
"Deep Frozen Crystal… What is this…" Alex tried to fetch the information from his memory before Lin Xingzhi explained it to him. "This is a powerful crystal that can boost one\'s cultivation because it has the ice energy close to that of a Pure Ice Element. It has been sitting for a few thousand years in the deepest part of an Ice Region, absorbing a huge amount of ice energy to be like this."
"That sounds like something that I can give to either Alicia or Letizia." Alex glanced.
"I don\'t think Alicia needs one." She paused for a moment. "Because she is utilizing all of her time to increase her cultivation, she has reached 9-Star Martial Saint, far above you and Firia. And this Deep Frozen Crystal is effective for those in Martial Saint.
"Seeing how this can increase one\'s cultivation, I am afraid Alicia\'s cultivation will get unstable with the sudden increase. Hence, I personally think she shouldn\'t get any help other than Spirit Crystal. Well, our inventory is also taking a huge hit because we help two people increase their cultivation…" Lin Xingzhi sighed. "It\'s not that much though, since neither of them is a God Rank expert. It only took me fifty million Spirit Crystals to increase their cultivation."
"Fifty…" Alex dropped his jaw, forgetting the fact about the Deep Frozen Crystal. "Fifty million Spirit Crystals?"
"Well, it\'s like forcing someone to increase their strength while making sure their cultivation is not ruined. Fifty million is a low price to pay. If I want to create two God Rank Experts, I will probably need a few hundred million, if not a billion. I will need to consider our treasury at that time." Lin Xingzhi shrugged.
"A billion?" Alex blinked his eyes a few times as he never expected it would cost that much to increase his level. Considering he also forced himself to cultivate with the help of Spirit Crystals… It would mean he needed to cost the same number. However, Lin Xingzhi dropped another bomb.
"Well, there is an expense for her to learn about Array Mastery from rank 1 Array to Divine Array, together with Firia… I think we can safely double that number…"
"I…" Alex scratched his head, wondering what to do. He thought he had gotten plenty of sum after getting forty million Spirit Crystals from the two influences, but it looked like a penny.
At the same time, his group still had him, Firia, Sherry, Kyle, Stina, Rose, and Letizia. How many Spirit Crystals he needed for them to reach God Rank Expert… Just the thought alone scared him.
"Ah, I haven\'t told you this." Lin Xingzhi almost forgot something. "Now that you have reached closer to the world\'s limit, you will find yourself limited by the world\'s rule. In other words, it will be hard for you to cultivate.
"Hmm??? Let\'s make an example with the knowledge from the Earth. You can think of cultivating is like a marathon for a car that needs years to complete. At first, your car will have the best engine and cultivate at a very fast speed.
"A few years later or when you reach higher levels, you start slowing down because of some trouble in your engines or any other things because what the arena and you do. Now that you almost reached the finish line, your engine has grown rusty and old.
"There is no way to increase its speed again unless you ask someone to drag you with their car. But since the difference in specs, it requires a huge amount of energy to carry you to the finish line."
"So, that someone is Spirit Crystal?" Alex thought for a moment and let out a long sigh. "How much do you think I need, along with the others?"
"I don\'t know. Since you have been using many Spirit Crystals from the start and cultivate a portion of it with the natural energy, it might require only a few million Spirit Crystals. The same applied to the others since your cultivation base is not that different." Lin Xingzhi explained.
"I see. In other words, I need more money." Alex glanced at her.
"Yeah. Maybe you can sell a few Array Plates for it."
"Or should I sell that pill?" Alex smirked. The pill he mentioned was none other than the pill that could fix one\'s talent, so it should be worth a few million Spirit Crystal.
Lin Xingzhi paused for a second and shook her head. "I don\'t think so. There is another use for that, and I will tell you after you reach God Stage. After all, it\'s strictly related to that."
"I see…" Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "Then I can make Array Plates, especially Teleportation Array Plates, while Firia helps me with pills."
"Oh, Teleportation Array Plates… Although their values would eventually decrease because more and more Array Plates like that will come, especially with the addition of the Freedom Sect, I think it\'s a good plan. Not only can you milk it when it\'s hot, but you can also be seen as someone generous and scary at the same time." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"And there won\'t be that much difference between the other influences and the Freedom Sect. In other words, I can lower the gap that has been created by Space Element," Alex added another reason.
"Yeah. That is good. You should act before the Freedom Sect uses this plan."
"No. I doubt they will use it. First, they will be seen as prey in the other influences\' eyes. After all, they were once cornered and escaped underwater in the past. If they use that as an excuse and somehow get a rein on them, the situation would probably go out of control.
"That\'s why you can make it a casual thing first." Lin Xingzhi grinned. "Of course… Get some money while you are at it."
Alex gave a thumb up while smirking. "I will probably do that for our main income. Anyway, let\'s take a look at the next item first. And I will try to pay you back for the resources that Alicia and Firia used."
Lin Xingzhi pouted. "I thought you were going to pay for it with your body… Just kidding. I won\'t mind if that were the case though. You will get three meals a day, a billion for your salary, and can do anything you want."
"Oi… Are you trying to get a pet, a CEO, or a husband?" Alex rolled his eyes.
"The third one is the best." Lin Xingzhi stuck her tongue out before glancing over the items that Alex got earlier. "Next is rank 8 Monster Skin… That\'s good. We just talked about Array Plate, and the ingredient for Array Paper comes."
Alex twitched his eyebrows after seeing how fast she changed the topic. He let out a sigh but with a smile. "It\'s only one. I probably need more than that. As for the third item… As expected, it won\'t be perfect if there is no water in my Gacha…"
Lin Xingzhi let out a hollow laugh. "It wasn\'t my fault. I am just an operator."
Alex shrugged and saw the next two items. "A glaive and a Spear Mastery… I don\'t have use for both of them, especially the glaive. As for the Spear Mastery… I might be able to use them in the future."
"Are you going to trade them? Now that I think about it, your Undying Fire Body is still not completed. With your usual way, you will absolutely make a trade. In exchange for that precious material, you will give them an unparalleled talent."
"Well… That is good but not a good idea. On one hand, he might feel suspicious later. On the other hand, it\'s certainly worth the effort. If we choose carefully about that, they might become an ally for me in the future. Well, it\'s hard to see someone\'s heart." Alex nodded but sighed at the same time.
"True enough. I think it\'s better to give them to the spirits… I mean the spirits in Eulja. There are many spirits that don\'t have talent but work really hard with a good heart. It\'s the most wondrous item coming from the system anyway, so let\'s look at it in the future whether it\'s possible or not."
"Agreed." Alex nodded. "Then, there is this Berserker Blood… I won\'t infuse another race blood into my body, let alone a Berserker and a Rare Rank item. As for this Jade Blood Ganoderma, I think it is one of the ingredients for a pill… Well, I will leave it to Firia later. Ice Jade Technique is also a low tier technique… A Low Heaven Tier."
"As for the rapier, you don\'t use it. The most important is this Divine Monster Blood… No, it\'s more common to say it\'s Divine Beast Blood. Well, it can be used for a Divine Array later." Lin Xingzhi added lightly.
"Yeah." Alex nodded and sighed. "Well, it seems my luck sucks again today."
"Don\'t mind. You can get it next time." Lin Xingzhi chuckled.
Alex didn\'t answer her and looked at her for a few seconds, making her a bit confused. Suddenly, he grabbed her shoulder and patted it a few times. "It will take a bit more to reach God Rank, so wait for me."
"Yes." Lin Xingzhi smiled before slightly curved her lips, asking for a kiss from him.
Alex scratched his head but still kissed her.
"See you later."
"Yes."
Alex then walked away, leaving the Gacha Palace.
