Chapter 166: Let’s Sell the Orb!

Chapter 166: Let’s Sell the Orb!

Miles walked to the workstation and looked at the small orb in the boiler with a dumbstruck expression. A greenish-purple orb had a dagger swimming inside of it. We did it? Miles asked with disbelief.

Yeah, we did it. Coin exclaimed happily.

It is indeed beautiful! Miles held the orb in his hand. It wasnt hot at all and had a cool sensation to it. Coin charge it, please.

Right away. Coin charged the orb, and the dagger appeared in Miles's hand. Because of its lightning attribute, the orb didnt need much electricity to charge, but it didnt have a psychic element, so Miles had to somehow nudge the orb to change its form. And he could only do so through Coin.

It has two elements. It merged perfectly! Miles was on cloud nine. He finally found the correct method to merge the orbs and he could try with higher-tiered orbs.

There are only several months left for pre-competition. I dont think I will be able to win against Quinn even with the help of two elemental orbs, but it is worth a try. Miles knew how strong Quinn was, so despite the strength of the duo elemental orbs, he shouldnt be able to win.

We should maximize our profits first. Coin said while Miles imagined winning the competition.

What do you have in mind? Miles asked with a frown.

You should sell this orb to gain some capital before buying more orbs to merge them once again. Coin answered.

Before you refuse, it doesn't matter who buys it, they will never discover the method you used. But because of its uniqueness, it will sell for a record price. Believe me when I say this, but this orb will earn you more than any Frenzy-Rank orbs.

I see. Miles thought and found the plan feasible. He didnt have any funds to buy pinnacle-tier Orbs to merge, so he had to gain loads of money first. But even if I try to sell it, no one will believe it, Miles said.

There is a way for it. Coin said and brought out a page for Miles to see.

Ah, it should work. Miles looked at the name on the screen, thinking it to be highly possible.

A week later,

Mr? Said the voice over the screen. The owner of the voice was an elderly man with a shaved face. His hair was silver in color, but his age couldnt hide his handsome face. He was supporting two earrings, giving him youthful charm. His voice was as delicate as his visage. His purplish-blue eyes looked at the armored man with amusement.

Marooner will suffice. The armored man said. He was indeed Miles. After talking with Coin in detail, he decided to take action without a delay. The silver-haired man couldnt see anything else. On the screen, there was only an armored man, and the rest of the screen was black.

This is not a verified connection, so how should I believe it is really you? The silver-haired man said, still sporting the same subtle smile.

My identity is unimportant. Miles said with a husky voice, What is important is what I will offer to you. Miles rebuked the elder man.

Oh, then what is it that you want to offer? The elderly man asked with a little frown. Of course, he knew who the Marooner was, but without verifying it, he wouldnt be gullible to trust the other party.

I have an orb with two elements. I created it myself, and I want to auction it in your house. Care to listen? Miles asked with hope. He knew how stupid it sound, who would believe such a thing. But he was hopeful for two reasons: first, not everyone could reach the elder man he was talking to, and second, Marooner was famous.

Thinking of a handsome boy already? Miles sighed and shook his head. It is your first week, and you are already in love.

Rayen got started when he heard Miles all of a sudden, but when she heard what Miles said, her face got red under a second. She tried to deny it and show the booklet, but she also didnt want Miles to know about it or he would insist on enrolling her. Her dilemma was cute.

I already know what you are thinking, Miles said and sat across from her.

You do? She asked after calming down a little. She still didnt dare to look into Miles's eyes.

Rayen, the reason I registered you in that school is so you could get the best education. And since you were selfish enough to stay with me, let me be selfish and help you all the way. Miles wanted her to open herself so he could help her. She still had her reservation because she didnt want to become a burden.

But, they are too expensive. Rayen shook her head. She knew how expensive those arts were. The normal price for Delicate Fist was fifty million in the Hall of Arts. But the school was teaching it for a hundred million. As an orphan for most of her life, and captive for rest, she knew how valuable money was. She wouldnt let Miles pay twice the money just for her.

The arts on the list arent things you can buy on a whim. All of those arts are locked, and can only be bought with Hall of Art coupons and money required. Although not the highest level, they are still valuable techniques. So, yes they are twice expensive, but the private sessions they are offering are worth the money.

So be a good little sister, and pick one. Miles explained softly. He wanted Rayen to make the choice because she had to learn how to take the initiative.

Alright. Rayen nodded slightly and looked at the list once again. There were a total of five recommended art for the girls. Not because girls were weaker, but the techniques were created for females. There were two short sword art, one fist art, one kick art, and one dagger art. Rayen thought about them for some time and unsurprisingly chose kick art. Her slender legs were tall, and it was definite she would grow up to have strong, tall legs. Deadly kicking arts suited her.

The name of the art was Cleaving Roundabout Kick. It had not any great history behind it and was a common martial move used on Earth even before the invasion. But the momentum and strength behind the kick were explosive, so it was a fine choice.

Miles took the booklet from Rayen and scanned the QR code under the art with his wristwatch. He chose to pay at the end of the year because he couldnt afford it just yet.

That settles it. He would like Rayen to learn all of them since he would have money to pay them all until the end of the year, but the school didnt allow students to choose too many.

I will later pick a complete art for her. I earned three 2-star Hall of Art Coupons from Quinn. A 2-star Coupon is worth 10 1-star coupons. With it, I can purchase a few techniques for her.

It is a waste to reverse exchange coupons from low tier to higher tier, but I can earn more later. Miles pondered.

Hall of Art Coupons werent things money could buy. Only through achieving great merit, one could earn them, but almost all influential families had at least a hundred of them in their safes.

Of course, all those families had many young generations they wanted to award with the coupons, but it wouldnt hurt to use them to exchange from time to time. Especially when it came to the dual elemental orbs.

So, how was your first day at school? Miles asked Rayen. He was curious if anyone dared to bully her on her first day.

It was great. She answered with a smile. From the smile, Miles could see how eager she was to return and spend time with her friends. For most of her life, she was robbed of this opportunity, and now having a safe place where she could play without having to care about anything else was the best thing she could ask for.

After I was introduced as Rayen Cross by the teacher, everyone in the school looked at me as if I was a celebrity. Then in the first break, almost all of them surrounded me and asked me if I was related to General Cross. I told them I was your sister, and part of the Cross family, they were jealous. Some of the girls invited me to lunch, so we could eat together.

There were also boys who wanted to invite me out, but I rejected them. All in all, it was great. Unfortunately, I was too behind my peers, so couldnt understand most of the subjects, but one nice girl said she would send me her notes for the whole semester. Rayen explained excitedly. Miles only listened and remarked from time to time. He was just happy Rayen had the chance to live her life for once.

After eating dinner together, they went to their beds, and it was the end of the day. But without Miles knowing it, Unity is in chaos because of a piece of certain news.
