Felix stood frozen, his eyes wide with disbelief. A wave of deep fear washed over him, causing his body to tremble as if he had just witnessed something truly horrific.
From the moment he and his companions stepped into this dungeon, they had been bombarded by one shocking experience after another.
First, they found themselves transported to a completely different dungeon—one that they have never heard off.
Encountering hordes of dungeon monsters,they kill so much dungeon monsters that they grew numb to it.
Just when they thought it couldn't get worse, they faced a formidable boss and after defeating the boss.
Instead of two portals leading them to safety, there was only one! And what awaited them on the other side? An abomination intent on devouring them whole.
Each encounter left them reeling, but nothing could prepare Felix for what lay before him now. It felt as if his heart might leap from his chest at any moment.
"Hissss! No way, I can't handle this level of stimulation anymore! I might actually die from all this adrenaline!" Felix gasped, taking a long breath while clutching his chest in distress.
Zephyr and the others mirrored his shock; their expressions were even more exaggerated.
Zephyr sank to the floor, staring blankly into the vast room around him.
"Big bro," he muttered weakly, "if we make it out alive, I'm taking a month off for vacation. I need to nurse my heart back to health!"
Brixton added numbly, "Honestly? I think we should just retire in our mansion and enjoy life instead of running restaurants."
"Ouch! My poor little heart can't take any more excitement! First a Drake trying to eat us and now this?! The adrenaline is too much!" Nixie exclaimed dramatically. Stay connected via m-v l|e'-novelhall.net
"Big bro," Gwendolyn chimed in innocently, "do you think all of these will fit in our storage rings?"
Meanwhile, Felix remained dazed but he was communicating with the system.
"System," he said quietly, "I think I'm done working. You can unbind yourself and find another host."
[ Host, if I unbind myself now, you'll die instantly—and miss out on everything right in front of you ] The system replied nonchalantly.
Felix's lips twitched at that response. "Just kidding! How could I bear to part with you?"
If only the system.was right infront of him it would have rolled its eyes at him!
"But seriously," Felix continued thoughtfully, "with everything going on here... do you really think I should still be starting businesses?"
[ Why not!Don't let these small things fool you! Keep striving—you're destined to become the Business Emperor of this world ] The system encouraged passionately
Nixie shook Felix out of his reverie. "Big bro! Are we going in or not?"
Snapping back to reality with fire igniting in his eyes, Felix declared confidently:
Felix snapped out of his stupor, fire igniting in his eyes. "Of course we're going in! How can we resist taking a good look at our spoils of war?"
His enthusiasm was contagious, and the others nodded eagerly, stepping into the vast room with excitement bubbling within them.
Felix took a deep breath to steady himself and nodded, "Yep! You can feel the energy radiating from them."
Curiosity piqued, Zephyr and the others eagerly grabbed a few of the shimmering stones.
Moments later, their expressions turned blank as they absorbed the powerful aura of the Mana Crystals.
Felix grinned, "And it looks like these are high-grade ones!"
"Hey, big bro! Look over there, there are some Mana Crystals!" Brixton exclaimed, excitement bubbling in his voice.
Felix and the others quickly turned to where Brixton was pointing.
Sure enough, they spotted five towering mountains of Mana Crystals, shimmering with dense Mana swirling around them.
However, Felix noticed something: the density of these Mana Crystals was significantly lower than the one they were currently standing in front of.
"Looks like those are much lower grades than this one," Trinity observed thoughtfully.
"Yeah," Felix nodded in agreement. "Mana Crystals come in three grades: Low Grade, Mid Grade, and High Grade. Each one is invaluable, especially for Cultivation. They can accelerate your progress and serve as currency among Mana Cultivators. But most cultivators hesitate to spend their Mana Crystals since they're so crucial."
Everyone exchanged glances filled with anticipation; just imagining the potential boost to their Cultivation from such a treasure trove sent shivers down their spines.
Suddenly, Nixie appeared beside Felix, adorned with glimmering gold and precious jewels that sparkled in the light.
Felix turned to her, momentarily speechless at her dazzling appearance with a speechless look on his face.
"Big bro," she said with wide eyes, "with all these treasures around us, how are we going to carry them? Our storage rings are way too small!"
Felix glanced around the expansive hall overflowing with treasures; his lips twitched in frustration.
How on earth would they manage to transport all this wealth? Their storage rings were already packed tight with valuable parts from the Drake,they couldn't just toss those aside!
"System," Felix transmitted his thoughts urgently. "Is there any way we can handle this?"
[ Host, you can purchase a vault from the Cultivation shop.] Came the system's calm response,
"A vault?" Felix raised an eyebrow in confusion.
[ Yes! A vault functions like a storage ring but has superior defensive mechanisms and much larger capacity.] the system explained.
"Okay then! Give me one!" Felix nodded eagerly.
[ Host, there are three grades of vaults: Low Grade (2 million BEP), Mid Grade (8 million BEP), and High Grade (15 million BEP). Which one would you like? ] The System continued.
Felix's eyes twitched at the prices. "System... aren't they a bit pricey?"
[ They may be expensive,but trust me,it's worth it! ] Replied the system playfully yet persuasively
With a resigned sigh and feeling a slight sting in his wallet, he decided quickly: "Alright! I'll take a Low Grade Vault."
[ Nice doing business with you! Please return if you wish to buy another! ] The system chirped excitedly as 2 million BEP was deducted from his account.
