256 Plan

Alex looked at the teleportation array that Zwaka made just now with his new understanding of space. It looked like his Spatial Door. But she didn't need to cross the blue colored realm as he experienced previously when escaping from a Martial King.

It was like Zwaka shortened the distance in that blue colored realm and made it nonexistence. It gave him the ability to teleport people with zero time difference. It was a skill to make a teleportation array.

After Alex learned many things from that crystal, Alex could understand this principle and apply it too. Alex should be able to make a fifty meters teleportation array.

Although it was far from Zwaka's level, at the very least, Alex was in the right direction and could develop his ability with time. Alex thought about enhancing his array mastery. As soon as he could use a Rank 4 Array, he should register in the Array Master guild.

After that, he should register as a Rank 4 Alchemist. He should have enough strength to protect himself in this continent, even if his power were seen by others. He should be fine if he had those two identities.

Even others tried to surround him, Alex had Anna and the others. If a Martial King wanted to kill him, he could escape to the spatial world or used his Teleportation array, which he would master after he got back.

"I have the Space Element guide for Array Master inside this space ring. I have put all my inheritances in this ring," Zwaka gave his Space Ring to Alex.

Even though he knew that Zwaka wanted to give his inheritances to him in exchange for his promise, to receive such favor from a former Martial Emperor while he was only a Martial Grandmaster, was overwhelming.

"You should check it first," Zwaka advised him.

Alex tried to see the inside of the Space Ring. He was overwhelmed with what he saw. 'Many rank 5 and 6 weapons and Medicinal Ingredients, many Heaven Tier Martial Arts (Weapon Arts and Elemental Arts), and Spirit Stones and Gem...

"System, what is Spirit Gem?" He just realized that he didn't know about Spirit Gem. He heard it from Zwaka's mouth previously, but because he got too much information at once, he forgot about it.

[Spirit Gem is something like Spirit Stones but has a higher density. This continent doesn't have the power to produce the Spirit Gem. It is only thanks to this special realm that the underground manages to produce a Spirit Gem.

But even with the support of this realm, it can't produce that many. Considering the number inside the space ring. Most of them should come from his previous collection.]

"Now, I am wondering how a Spirit Stones formed?"

[Actually, Spirit Stones are just a normal stone. But after exposed by a high density of Spiritual Energy for a long time. It evolved into a Spirit Stones. If the density was higher, then there Spirit Gem might appear in the mine. One Spirit is equal to a thousand Spirit Stones.]

Alex was astonished. In Zwaka's Space Ring. He had twenty million Spirit Stones and ten thousand Spirit Gems. If he pawned everything he got, such as his Martial Arts and weapon. It should easily reach a hundred million Spirit Stones. He didn't know if he underestimated their value or not, though.

"Thank you very much, Senior."

"Haha. Don't mind it. Just keep your promise in eradicating the Devil Blood Sect."

"Yes. This junior engrave it to his heart," Alex suddenly remembered another matter. It was the so-called 'Blood Pill' in the Zhou Kingdom's second prince's mouth. He took out an unknown red colored pill. He presented it to Zwaka.

"Senior, this junior just remembered about this pill. It seems this pill is called Blood Pill. I wonder if senior know about this?"

"This..." Zwaka was astonished by the pill in Alex's hand. "This is a downgrade of Devil Blood Pill from Devil Blood Sect. But how can it reach this continent? I am confused.

The Devil Blood Sect was residing in the Sacred Continent. Later I found out they had a branch sect in the Nilis Continent with this downgrade pill. But, their sect couldn't come here.

If not, they might make the cultivators in the Northern Continent furious... They shouldn't reach here by themself. In other words, they should come from a third party."

Hearing Zwaka's explanation, Alex's eyes widened. Judging from his explanation, it seemed that this Blood Pill thing had escalated to a far larger scale than he could imagine.

"Anyway, you should raise your cultivation as soon as possible. If the situation becomes chaotic, you will have the strength to fend off your enemy."

"Understood."

"I have made a Gathering Array for you."

"I'm sorry, Senior. I can't use the Gathering Array for the time being, because I still need to consolidate my foundation," Alex said in an apologetic tone.

Zwaka instantly realized what he was talking about. There was a big difference in Natural Energy on their continent, and this made the local people here couldn't reach a high level.

This 'Alex' must really have a strong teacher, he thought. His teacher made him like this to prepare the next stage of cultivation. He became more assured to leave his inheritances in Alex's hand. He was sure Alex would fulfill his promise.

"Alright. You should cultivate now."

"Yes."

Zwaka then left him alone.

Alex finally settled down and started cultivating.

...

A month later,

The Spiritual Energy inside Alex's body had reached the maximum, and he couldn't hold it again. The energy finally sparked on his body.

'6-Star Martial Grandmaster!'

After a month of bitter cultivation, Alex finally consolidated his cultivation. He continued absorbing the Spiritual Energy for a while and finally broke through to 6-Star Martial Grandmaster.

[Host, you are awake now.]

"System?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. It was such a rare occurrence to see the system talk to him first.

[You should check Nelson's card first. He wanted to say something to you since a week ago. You are almost done, so I didn't want to disturb you.]

"!!!"

Alex immediately took out Nelson's card and asked.

"Nelson, what happened?"

"The situation on the continent is starting to get serious. Zhou Kingdom made aggression toward Southern Kingdom. I later found out that your... Senior Sister... the one with green hair, went back to her kingdom to fight the Zhou Kingdom.

"I sent Leoz to check on her condition. What do you want to do, Young Master? Should I call Leoz back?"

"No, it's fine. I will also go there now. I will tell Leoz to protect her... only her. You should keep searching for information in Zhou Kingdom. This problem might be deeper than we thought." Alex said. He remembered how the others treated him, including their third princess. Alex had no obligation toward them, so he didn't care about them.

But, if he needed to choose either Zhou Kingdom and Southern Kingdom. He rather killed Zhou Kingdom's soldiers than Southern Kingdom's. They should be his sources of EXPs and Gacha Tickets.

"Understood."

Alex then told Leoz to protect his Senior Sister in the dark. Of course, his priority was to kill the enemy soldiers.

Alex then activated his Spirit Eyes to search Anna and Fabio. He found out that both of them were in the garden. They stopped killing the monsters outside... or they might have killed all of them...

Alex went to them.

"Alex (Young Master)," Both of them noticed that Alex had finished his cultivation.

"We have finished killing them," Anna said proudly.

"I just did it because I also wanted to level up, alright! It is not because of Young Master's order," Fabio said with that annoying line.

"Alex, you should check your Gacha Tickets first," Anna said.

Alex was astonished to hear they had killed all the monsters here. Well, they had been killing those monsters for a month. Alex then checked his system.

[Gacha Ticket x2439

Premium Ticket x0

Dart x0

Summoning Ticket x0

Summoning Coin x1]

"Holy Sh*t!" Alex opened his jaw wide. He never saw that many tickets previously.

Looking at his shocked expression, Anna and Fabio grinned. Anna said, "Young Master, this place is really a treasure. Sadly, it has been exhausted by us."

"How many monsters have you two killed?" Alex couldn't help but ask this question.

"Five thousand," Fabio also answered.

"Four thousand for me," Anna answered. She also added, "Well, the monsters on the other entrances were that great in number like the ants."

Alex suddenly frowned. The Gacha Ticket didn't match up with the number they killed. The tickets should be lesser than that.

[I have optimized the mission, Host. You forget about that?]

The system read his mind once again.

"!!!"

Alex suddenly realized. He remembered that every a hundred monsters they killed, there should be a few more Gacha Tickets. Along with the monsters they had killed together with Putri, this number should be acceptable.

Unfortunately, the numbers were finite. If they had an infinite number, or if they could respawn. It would be amazing.

"Alex, what is your plan now? I mean the tickets."

Alex thought a bit. With this amount of tickets, he was eager to use it immediately. But, he was wondering if he should use it all in normal or exchange it to Premium.

"System, exchange ten Premium Ticket," After a while, he decided to exchange ten Premium Ticket and used the rest in case he wanted EXP cards.

[Processing]

[Premium Ticket x10 Acquired]

[Gacha Ticket x439

Premium Ticket x10

Dart x0

Summoning Ticket x0

Summoning Coin x1]

"Alright. Use all Premium Tickets."

[Processing]

He was expecting two boxes of Gacha Balls. To his surprise, instead of appearing like usual. A woman appeared as a delivery girl. She had brown hair, otherworldly beauty, small brown eyes, cute nose, and sweet lips. She wore a white dress up to her knees while bringing two boxes.

Alex felt uncomfortable the moment he saw her figure. 'This... this is love at first sight? No! It is not. This feeling is not love, but what is it?'

"You... who are you! Why did I get this feeling? Are you also my past life's acquaintance? I am sorry, but I have chosen to start over," Alex said with a hoarse voice.

The girl handed the box first to him. After that, she smiled. Luckily, only Alex, Anna, and Fabio were in this place. If not, her smile might captivate the others.

"Didn't you want to see me? Weren't you curious about me, Host? In this life, I am always yours." The girl asked him gently. Her voice managed to soothe his uncomfortable feeling.

Anna and Fabio were shocked to see this figure. It was Xingzhi. Although she altered her appearance a bit and even though Alex didn't have his memory, she was still irreplaceable in Alex's subconsciousness.

"You... you are my system?" After hearing her called him 'Host'. He immediately recognized her identity.

"I have sent you the boxes. I should go now," she said as her body started to disappear

"Don't..." Alex wanted to say 'Don't go,' but the word stuck on his throat. All he could say was, "Thank you."

"See you later, Host," she smiled while waving her hand. She then disappeared.

It was true that Alex wanted to see his system's appearance. But after his marriage with Alicia and Firia, he had forgotten about this matter. But, after meeting her like this, he didn't know what to do.

She was indeed a beauty, and in fact, she might be the most beautiful woman he had seen. But, it didn't matter to him. He felt close to her because of their relationship.

He had known about his system being a girl back in the lower world. She was the one who told him so. He was really grateful for all the chance she gave to him as he could stand here to fight his fate.

'See you later...' Alex murmured.

[Yes, Host. I'm back now, and I will appear when delivering your boxes or in the dart. So, if you find yourself falling in love with me and dying to meet me, you should get many more Premium Tickets and use them!]

Alex was astonished to hear such a response. The system was watching him as usual. He let out a small smile and said, "If I feel like it."

Alex took a deep breath before turning his head to Fabio and Anna. "Well, we are going to Southern Kingdom after this since Zhou Kingdom is attacking them. But first, I will open this Gacha Balls first."
