Chapter 798 - Money
Just after Emery grabbed the dark sword, the surroundings quickly changed. Leaving only him, Silva, the android and the two magus on the side. Just as it had been before, a fighting arena was created once again and two metal puppets were formed to be their practice opponents.
Silva then went on to say, "Raise to level 3," which made Emery a little taken aback.
Right after, 8 additional puppets were formed. There were now ten metal puppets lined up in front of them - the situation had quickly become a 10 versus 2 battle.
"Let's go, Emery! Let's do this as we have practiced."
What Silva was referring to was the practice they had before fighting the beholder. Emery was quick to recognize the situation and shift to his position. At the moment, the two of them were standing with their backs to each other.
Emery and Silva fought the metal puppets together, one with a white sword and another with the black one. Both of them were using the tier 5 swords that were not only made of much stronger metal but were also an art piece of a master blacksmith.
The durability and sharpness of the swords was definitely unquestionable, but the capability of the tier 5 swords also seemed able to create a connection with the spirit force.
Within a few minutes, all 10 metal puppets were disabled, leaving Emery and Silva panting with excitement.
"This is much more fun than eating at a beach, isn't it?" Silva asked him in a cheerful tone.
Emery gave her a smile as a response and nodded in silence before he put the sword back.
"You don't like it?"
"I do, but I can't afford it," Emery said.
As soon as Silva noticed Emery's reaction, she also put the sword back and said to the female attendant, "We will think about it."
Realizing Silva also returned the sword, Emery said, "If you like it, you should get it."
Again, Silva could only give a slight smile and looked the other way,
"It's a couple swords, and it's not suitable for us. Let's find something else," she suggested.
Emery could somehow tell that the girl was trying hard to hide her disappointment, but Emery decided not to read too much into it and instead focus on what was important.
Right after, Silva appeared to have made the decision not to check another weapon and instead approached the female android and asked, "We are looking for gene serum, wolf genes. Show us your stock."
The female host then showed the stock of gene serums to Silva and Emery. This time, there were only three panels shown.
"These are the stocks we have," The female host said.
[Rank 4 - 586 Gene Sample]
[Rank 5 - 351 Gene Sample]
[Rank 6 - 222 Gene Sample]
[Rank 7- 138 Gene Sample]
[Rank 8 - 18 Gene Sample]
[Rank 9 - 4 Gene Sample]
"Ahh there are more than I thought. We are looking for a day wolf, supposed to be a rank 7. Is there any of your data?" Silva inquired once again.
In the brief period of time it took for an answer, Emery quickly became tense. He anxiously wanted to find out if the item he was looking for was available in this store or not.
It took a few seconds for the female to search for the gene sample. A moment later, a box appeared in front of them. When the box was opened, six golden-colored liquids were contained within.
[Day Wolf Gene - Rank 7]
[95% Purity]
[Price: 1,200,000 Spirit Stone]
200,000 spirit stones were required to purchase a single serum. He immediately felt a headache as soon as he saw the price, as a result of the multiple zeros on the information.
Not only did this happen to Emery, but it also happened to Silva. When she knew the price of the serum was so high, she suddenly became emotional and exclaimed, "How come it's so expensive!"
After all, Ouroboros was a gene serum expert. She was well aware that the price should not even reach 50,000 for a rank of 7 gene serum.
Despite the price hike, the female attendant remained calm and explained that the price increased, because it was a very rare item. In fact, these 6 were the only ones they had left since they acquired them 3000 years ago.
After hearing the android's explanation, Silva quickly calmed down. Not only did she understand how it worked, but she also knew there was no point in arguing with a machine.
Emery said to the girl, "Don't worry, I am still glad that they have it. We can just come back some other time."
Silva quickly reached out and grabbed Emery's hand, "Emery, if you let me… I have enough to pay that amount."
The girl knew him enough that Emery would not want her to pay for it. However, she thought he would regret it if this opportunity was missed.
"No, Silva... don't worry. I have enough to reach rank 6. I won't be needing it for a while. I... I'll figure something out later."
When Silva heard what Emery just said, she added, "Emery, the ship will be too far away for us to return and with your academy limitation... Let me buy it for you, ok? You can pay me back whenever" She insisted.
The girl quickly explained how rare it was. The fact that Alfa station didn't have another stock after that long, and there were many chances other people would buy it in the same way they did, either to mix it to create other serum or for research purposes. She insisted on him buying it.
"No... Silva, you have done enough... I don't want to owe you more than I already have… I am sorry."
Emery was determined and this situation turned a little awkward, and to return the mood, Emery decided to ask a question to the android.
"Can I sell things here?"
"Yes, of course, what do you have to sell?"
Emery opened his spatial storage and thought about all of the potions and herbs he had bought from earth. The most he had was the [Gaia Serum Tier 2 - Originality 2].
It was the serum that could help mortals into acolytes. Emery had 250 potions with him in the hope that he could sell it for some spirit stones in the academy. It took him a year to create this batch and a lot of Gaia's sap.
The android gave it a scan and said,
"Tier 2 spirit potion, each potion costs 550 spirit stones."
That's 137.500 spirit stones in total.
Unsure about the actual value, Emery took out a green liquid potion [Green Essence]. These were the potions he had from Master Grom and he took it out to check its price for comparison.
"Tier 1 spirit potion, each potion costs 400 spirit stones."
Emery also remembered a tier 1 spirit potion he bought in the academy to increased his spirit force to rank 6 was 1,000 spirit stones each. This made him believe that 550 spirit stones seemed to be a reasonable value.
Added with his 5 red spirit stones, plus all of the spirit stones he had gathered since second year as much as 18,250, he now had enough spirit stones to buy one [Day Wolf gene Serum].
Probably, he only needed to get one serum and hope it could be synthesized for more. Afterall, he only needed some portion of the [Day Wolf gene Serum] to create the twilight few wolf genes.
The problem was, Emery still needed some spirit stones for the clone frame. While still thinking about it, Silva said,
"No, don't sell those in here. We are going to the lower level."
