My Idle Gaming System

When it came to equipment, the price difference between Iron and Bronze was over ten times.

Going even further, the price difference between Bronze and Silver Ranks...was 100 times!

It was a gulf that was extremely hard to cross for many beings as they stayed in lower ranks all their lives.

To break through the status quo, one had to have an amazing Inherent Skill or be born in a rich household.

Noah had no such things….but he did have his Idle Gaming System!

"Let me get [Gladiator's Plate] and the [Magma Sword]."

Noah spoke out simply after looking through the list of Bronze Rank Equipment the man in front of him provided.

The workers of this Equipment Emporium were extremely professional as Noah went snubbed or laughed at when he came in with such a shocking request, the worker only smiling towards him with shining eyes as he spoke out their prices.

"50 Bronze Cores for the Magma Sword, 60 Bronze Cores for the Gladiator's Plate."

THUMP!

The price caused Noah's heart to beat faster as he remained calm, waving his hand towards the counter as he caused the appearance of 700 Iron Rank Cores.

"You also accept Iron Cores, yes?"

…!

Alarm filled the face of the worker as he sat up straight.

It wasn't because of the large amount of Iron Cores, even though this brought its own shock as a normal person would never carry that much with them- it was the action of waving his hands and causing the appearance of items from thin air!

The worker of the Equipment Emporium glanced on the ring fingers of this Blessed as he saw a simple ring on one of his fingers, his eyes shining as he assumed this Blessed was a rich young master that had already obtained a Space Ring and was coming out to splurge after taking hundreds of Cores from his parents or organization.

The worker sat up straighter as he nodded.

"Iron Cores are accepted, with the price changing to 600 Iron Cores and 700 Bronze Cores respectively for the Equipment. How does Sir wish to pay for the Magma Sword?"

The price conversion was over 10 times as 50 Bronze Cores weren't even equivalent to 500 Iron, but 600 instead!

The worker pulled the 700 Peak Iron Cores into the counter behind him as they disappeared, a pristine duffel bag holding within it the [Gladiator's Plate] appearing instead as Noah's eyes lit up.

He waved his hands once more as on the counter, one Iron Rank Equipment after another began to appear- ranging from the numerous Blazing Armors, Frozen Armors, Blazing Swords...and a variety of other Equipment Noah had been obtaining freely from his Idle Gaming System!

The worker counted at least 15 items as he evaluated all of them, nodding his head as he spoke out.

"We can take these for 700 Iron Cores or pay the difference of 100 and hand you the Magma Sword."

Noah nodded at the worker as he worked quickly, all the items he set forth disappearing behind the counter as another duffel bag appeared in front of him.

Two bags, two Bronze Rank Equipment!

Noah put them in his inventory as he had long since put on a normal ring he found in his house to pass off as a Storage Ring, nodding towards the worker as he achieved his goal and was about to leave.

"Here's my business crystal. You can rely on our Equipment Emporium for all your Equipment needs up to the Silver Rank."

The worker handed Noah a shimmering crystal that held a unique signature of the Equipment Emporium, this being something Noah could use whenever he stepped into this store again as it would send a signal to notify this worker in front of him to come take his business!

As a worker, he received a portion of the sales profit- this being some of the jobs that Iron Rank Blessed took.

Noah nodded towards the worker with a smile as he stepped out of the shop, passing through the streets of Academy City as he went towards the Blessed Academy.

On days like today, there were a few classes occurring where Bronze Rank hunters came to the Academy to share their knowledge, but Noah returned to his lush hiding place filled with greenery behind the Academy as he planned to relax there the entire day while waiting!

He was waiting for the time to pass quickly so he could collect all the required Unit Shards to summon two Rift Bosses, as he would then be confident enough to go into the three Rifts he had already cleared with these powerful creatures and bring his Clear Time even further down.

The faster the clear time, the more abundant the rewards!

With the Bronze Rank equipment he had just bought, he was more than confident enough to keep his little life while surrounded by Rift Bosses to clear Iron Rank Dimensional Rifts.

This was especially so when he thought about the [Unit Upgrade Crystals]!

Just how strong could he make the Rift Bosses with the hundreds of Upgrade Crystals he already collected? How many would it take to max them before they could be combined and evolved into a monstrous Bronze Rank Dimensional Beast?

Noah's mind truly swirled with a great deal of questions as he returned to his old peaceful hiding place and lay down, closing his eyes to relax.

It felt really good to be a slacker!
