Chapter 359: Investment

Choosing the most suitable blueprints to attain the most efficient way to make huge profits was not easy, and Shane was glad that the dungeon didn't set a countdown that would pressure him.

Princess Ilya had 12,000 value points which was a small fortune in comparison to everyone else.

However, against Shane's massive collection of 51,000 points, hers were relatively fewer.

"Should I buy a [extraordinary] quality armor set? Its effects will increase the more pieces of the set are worn…" He mumbled, trying to figure out whether an armor set at the [extraordinary] quality for 10,000 value points was better than the blueprint of a well-designed [legendary] weapon.

Choosing the weapon blueprint would be much better, but if he were to consider forging the weapon in addition to the material costs, Shane assumed that he would make less profit than purchasing the armor set that was cheaper and faster to assemble.

With that thought, his mindset began to change slightly.

There was no need to select the highest quality equipment as long as the demand was high, the materials price low, and the production time short!

Shane was not sure how much time had passed, but he felt extremely tired after he had chosen the blueprints he wanted to use.

In the end, he had purchased 10 different weapon blueprints with a [Pseudo-Legendary] quality, for a total of 30,000 value points.

Their production cost included 1,000 coins for the materials, and it would take one blacksmith and a runemaster around three days to produce one.

However, the return on investment should be more than 50,000 gold coins, considering that even well-made [extraordinary] weapons that had a good ability were sold for more than 10,000.

A [pseudo-legendary] weapon was not only sharper and more durable than a [extraordinary] weapon, but it possessed two abilities instead of one!

While one ability was likely to be even stronger than that of the equal [extraordinary] weapon, the second one was worse for him due to the former weapon being a pseudo legendary and not a [Legendary] weapon.

If the two abilities were to enhance each other, Shane was sure that the price he could demand would skyrocket even further!

Nevertheless, this required luck, which was something Shane didn't like to rely on!

As such, he hadn't calculated with luck, but keeping in mind the worst possible outcome.

After he had purchased the 10 blueprints, he had sent them to Talia without wasting any time.

She had already informed him that more than a dozen blacksmiths and runemasters were ready, waiting for him to return to Igra.

In the end, everyone was worried about the error about which Shane had informed them earlier, while the news circulating on PrimWeb was even worse!

As such, everyone wanted to work hard to increase their chances of survival if the worst possible scenario were to occur.

Nobody wanted to see the worst-case, but since when did throwing caution to the wind make for a good choice?

With the 10 blueprints Shane had provided, the Astral Artisans' profits would increase tremendously.

This would allow the entire Astral Starlight faction to expand further!

Talia had told him that he had to start enlarging the Hidden Paradise because it was slowly becoming crowded.

Shane hadn't expected this to happen so early, and only now did he realise that he hadn't taken a look at the Hidden Paradise for a long time.

However, now was not the perfect time to do so either.

Fortunately, he had stored more than enough mana inside the planet core. As such, enlarging the Hidden Paradise was not a problem!

As long as he had some reserves left to maintain his soul bound world, and transfer some of it to himself, everything would be fine.

Because of that, he started to enlarge the Hidden Paradise slowly while trying to figure out what to use the remaining 21,000 value points for.

Every value point seemed to be worth several hundred gold coins, but there was no exact conversion rate.

The dungeon shop had different prices than the Primordial shop.

As such, Shane was able to continue looking for what he required the most.

In the end, he chose the weapon that suited him the most that was among the worst ones at the [legendary] quality.

The cost was not exactly high with a selling price of 5,000 value points, but it wasn't cheap either.

After that, he purchased two [extraordinary] quality armor sets; one for leather armor, and another for more protection that had metal imbued in it.

With that, his 21,000 value points were used up, and Shane sent the blueprints to Talia without giving them another glance.

Not only did he have to earn lots of funds, but he had to protect his guild members as well.

Because of that, he had purchased the blueprints for the armor sets.

It was only a moment later that the holographic screen of the dungeon shop dispersed as the [Legendary] weapon he had chosen appeared in his hand.

However, in order to stay lowkey, Shane quickly stored it inside his spatial ring.

He had to remain vigilant, and couldn't even use the limitation crystals right now.

Otherwise, he would have chosen the weapon he had just received and the mana purification manual that had a mana purity limit of [88%].

At that moment, Shane remembered that he had yet to purchase the mana purification manual, which he did without wasting any time.

After that, he didn't immediately learn it but stored it inside his spatial ring right next to the black scimitar that had thick, crimson-red veins spreading through it.

Its overall length was one meter with the hilt making up for around 20 centimeters.

In the end, Shane hadn't bought it for its looks that were magnificent, but for the abilities it had, and the fact that he was able to adjust to a scimitar without spending too much time.

A scimitar was suitable for his martial art technique too, which was also an added advantage.

Nevertheless, the abilities were truly what caused Shane to purchase Ladra, the Invincible Scimitar because they suited each other perfectly!

____________

[Invincible Scimitar, Ladra] [Tier-2(Tier-3) -Legendary-]

[Enhancement] Converts the supplied energy to enhance the object's durability, sharpness, mana circulation, mana output [...]

[Accumulation] (Passive) absorbs and accumulates the surrounding energy!

____________

With the passive [Accumulation] he could store mana for several days, months, or even years, and release everything at once with [Enhancement] in order to make Ladra a true, invincible Scimitar!

Even though Shane was not sure how great the accumulation ability was or how high the enhancement provided by the accumulation was if one were to look at it on a daily basis, he had high expectations.

This was because the limitation crystal was likely to strengthen the Scimitar's abilities further!

Despite being glad about purchasing Ladra, there was something that bothered him.

The system interface looked a tad different than it did before, and Shane couldn't help but look at it in doubt.

Certain things that had never been different before were changing, which was everything but a good sign!

Something was going on with the system, but he had no idea what it could be!
