Chapter 206: 2nd Major update is live

Not only did Wil found that there are 3 guardian beasts in the Aynor continent, but he also didn't expect 10 of the 34 guardian beasts are already fallen into the hands of players.

Including the others that are accidentally killed and retuned to their respective palaces, he wondered how many would be left for him to catch them.

Shihei continued, "Including you, we have only talks with Conqueror, Fiery Ladies, and Hellsky. There are still five to go. So, there's nothing in stone yet but the plan is that we will remain as the information network for the other nine guilds while they cooperate with each other."

Even though Wil felt like he was playing Shihei's palm, nevertheless, he decided to go with the flow. Using Galaxy Net as the medium, he plans to build a friendship with others.

"Happy cooperation." "Happy cooperation." As both of them shook their hands, Wil suddenly remembers another thing, "Oh! I almost forgot. Shihei-san, I need your help with finding something for me."

"Sure, what is it?" Shihei asked him, thinking it must be important.

Wil replied, "One is something called Shards of Sacred Ocean. I only know the name of it. Don't know how it looks but I need you to find those materials as much as you can. The money is no problem for me."

"Shards of Sacred Ocean?" Shihei frowned as he put his finger below his chin, searching his memory. After a few seconds, he shook his head, "Sorry, never heard of it but I will give that mission to Kiyumi to let her informers search for it."

"Thank you." Wil then continued, "The second thing is a beast. I don't know its level but I know its name. It is called Oculus. The beast will be short like two feet big, round in shape. I'll give a million dollars as a reward for capturing it."

"A million dollars?" Shihei was stunned upon hearing Wil. At that moment, he also thought this boy is too much of a squanderer, wasting the money on such things.

"That must be some important beast," Shihei can't help but comment on the reward.

Wil shook his head, "to others, Nah. To me, it is important. Honestly, I just need Eye of Oculus. I would reward the same even if they kill it and provide me the material. It might also appear in auctions, so, please keep an eye on it."

Originally Wil intends to say 10 million dollars but it would cause too much commotion. Not to mention, when people find a really expensive thing, they would rather keep it for themselves instead of selling.

That's why Wil thought the price should be moderately expensive…

By the time he was finished with his discussion with Shihei, it was already past 3, and for good or worse, he ended up missing Richard, who left as soon as he had a chat with his father-in-law.

After finishing things at Miyazaki Mansion, Wil left with Silver to the hotel as they have other things to do in the evening.

She also felt a little bit upset because the whole lunch thing only turned out to be a business deal between her uncle and unofficial fiancée. It was nothing how she imagined it to be.

Since her fate was already decided, she already convinced herself to commit to Wil but their second meeting didn't go well as their first. They hardly got to talk with each other whether in public or in private.

'Am I nothing but a simple bridge between Galaxy Net and Scarlet? Does he really not have any interest in me, even a bit?' Akiko thought as she looked herself in the mirror in her room. 'Am I not pretty enough?'

With a disappointment on her face, she mumbled, "but, I thought we had a moment out there."

She remembered how Wil was stunned upon seeing her.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Akiko remembered the project work that she was working on. She quickly changed her clothes to casual ones, wore her spectacles, and returned to being busy in her own world as if nothing happened.

***

Mariot Hotel, Ares City;

The sunset down but still the city seems to be in daylight… No wonder, people call Ares, the city of lights.

In the lobby, Wil was walking with two young men who seem to be in their twenties. Right now, they have a huge smile on their faces and they can't seem to stop thanking him.

Those two actually belong to a small company called Ace, a start-up in the automobile industry. Without negotiating too much, he bought 30% of company shares for 10 million dollars.

Looking at the foolish smiles on their faces, Wil smirked to himself, 'in four years, this little money will turn into 100 fold. I wonder if they regret selling such an amount of shares.' 

Wil returned to the Leafway city on his private jet, alone as the update

Meanwhile, Silver went and met the Chairman of a privately owned mid-sized Entertainment Agency called Starsun. Following Wil's order, he offered a double amount of 26 million dollars to take over the company.

The shareholders had a meeting on the spot and by midnight, the process is abruptly finished.

The idols and the trainees are shocked upon hearing why a security company like Scarlet took over theirs and they were asked to leave for Leafway city.

No one dares to object with the contract on them. They can't refuse the management's decision.

But, since they are from the Entertainment industry, Silver was forced to stay until the morning for a press meet. So, he returned to the hotel.

Back to Scarlet Apartments, by the time, Wil returned, it was already 5 A.M., which means, the maintenance is already over.

After having a nice shower, he entered the capsule and logged in to the game.

*Welcome to War Online*

*Ding! Your title 'I CAN FLY' changed to 'MOST POWERFUL WINGS'

MOST POWERFUL WINGS: Your altitude range increases to 5km. Your flying speed is increased by 50%.

His normal flying skill actually received a huge buff. Wil thought the update is nothing but debuff or him but this proved wrong. At least, that's what he thought when he saw the first notification.

However, the following notifications made him disappoint.

*Ding! Your position changed from Crown Prince to Prince.

*Ding! Averil's spirit was moved on. You received a quest, "Last Wish."

*Ding! Your race is registered as a Hybrid. Please check out the character for further details.

*Ding! Your Full Dragon Transformation is sealed.

"Eh? Hybrid? Not Dragon Angel? And my Dragon form is sealed?"

*Ding! Soul Bracelet has been disappeared. Soul link skill is transferred from passive skills to Active skills. Please check the Skill panel for further details.

"Open Quest list."

The first thing he did is to check the quest, Averil gave him.

LAST WISH

Description: Dragon Princess Averil's spirit is returning to the spirit world. As her last wish, she wishes you to deliver a message to her father, the Dragon King.

Rewards: Unknown.

"Ugh…Not again…" Wil hates the quest with unknown rewards. He was tricked a lot of times in his past life. "Let's think about it later."

"Open Character menu."

A holographic screen with details appeared before him.

First, he glanced at the stats. Nothing has changed. As mentioned in the update, level-1 to Level-3 skills is displayed as beginner. Levels- 4 to 6 as Intermediate, 7-9 as advanced, and 10 as Master.

Other than that, only one change in the active skills. It was delivered to Wil as promised by Aria.

Soul link (Master): Reduce Leon's stats to half. Your max stats will increase to double for 1 hour. Cost: 0 mana. CD: 12 hours.

"Not bad…"

He then checked the race.

Hybrid: A race that contains more than one bloodline. You have the blood of Dragon and Angel.

"Sigh… It's just as Akiko-san mentioned."

Unlike what Shihei predicted, the Dragon form isn't turned into some skill or he received the advantages and disadvantages, etc…

Even though there are no race buffs, Wil found there are also no debuffs, and the biggest disappointment is that there is no skill mentioned under unique.

That means, he can't have the Divinity skill.

Since he can't do anything about it, he proceeded to scroll down. He felt as if all of the disappointments disappeared.

Dragon Transformation:

Humanoid: Transform into a humanoid dragon and increase your attack, defense, and speed by 30%. Your Maximum HP increases by 50%

Complete (Sealed): Transform into a complete dragon and increase your attack, defense, and speed by 100%. Your Maximum HP increases by 200%.

Mutation: Available.
