This put two things into perspective for Sylas.

For one, Gene Crystals were shockingly valuable. He had only received his first out of a ridiculous Dungeon with 100 Physical requirement and a Level cap of 0. And he received his second out of a slot machine for the end of the grueling Trial.

It had to be remembered that even the best athletes on Earth would have a cap at 30 or so at Level 0. Only those in the Grimblades and families of the like would have a cap at and over 50. But even then, it was hard to say if they had a Stat Limit that high at Level 0.

Now, this Nexus was trying to sell him the weakest of Bronze Gene Crystals for almost double the money that he had. Even the one he had been disappointed in had a Capacity of 70. But this one was 19 worse than that and couldn't possibly increase his current limits.

Sylas shook his head. He would be better off finding power Dungeons to clear and hope that one of them dropped one...

When Sylas had this thought, his gaze flashed again. Couldn't he buy Dungeon Maps?

He had once gotten a Dungeon Map from Zurog, the head of Gnoll Village 019. If it could be dropped, maybe buying one wasn't impossible. Considering the danger involved, maybe they would be cheaper as well.

However, when Sylas pulled up the menu, what he saw was disappointing.

There were no descriptions, just a list of them demarcated by price and price alone.

Once again, Sylas ran into a brick wall. There was no Skill of the sort, and he realized soon after that he was probably looking in the wrong place.

Skills were abilities that activated naturally with Aether. It circulated on its own. It didn't need the support of telekinesis or things of the like, so what he needed probably wouldn't be found in such a straightforward manner.

Sylas took a breath and settled his mind.

This world was so large, it was inevitable that the ideas he had for things would be unlikely to go smoothly. Panicking or wasting time being frustrated would only end up doing more harm than good.

'Let's take a more... roundabout approach, then.'

By the time Sylas found what he was looking for, he already had less than 30 minutes left on his timer. And as per usual, he found it in a location he least expected it.

What he needed was actually found in a Profession shop, something that hadn't been open to him before. But it seemed that now that he had a Profession, the system registered him as a person of this path. In fact, it also asked him if he would like to be listed on the Profession Leaderboard as well, something he likewise directly ignored.
