Corps members continuously tered and exited the Wolf's D, each time taking away hundreds of people.
Basically, a single shout would draw countless people, quickly filling the slots.
Mike watched for a while before someone pulled him inside.
"I heard you're buying drinks?"
Max Stoneheart eyed Mike suspiciously,
"Let me be clear, my account at the Wolf's D is froz!"
Mike looked confused, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I'm telling you, don't play the 'you buy, I pay' trick again!"
Max Stoneheart's expression was very serious, saying earnestly,
"I'm bankrupt. This time, all my pre-battle expses are on my godfather's card. Don't drag me into this!"
"Ev if you want to drag someone down, find someone else!"
Mike protested, "Look at you, do I seem like that kind of person?"
"Alright, ough chit-chat. I have a task."
Max Stoneheart waved his hand, th said seriously, "Apollo said not to ter the Tower of Truth before 00:30. Wait a bit longer."
As Max Stoneheart was about to leave, he remembered something and handed Mike a staff,
"By the way, your staff's chantmt is done. This chantmt has a usage limit, about a million uses before it wears off."
Mike took the staff, noticing that Force of Nature now had an 80% lifesteal effect.
If Mike maintained a 30-layer Charge Up, one Thunderclap Strike would fully restore his health!
Max Stoneheart looked at the staff and asked,
"I heard from Foreskin that you're collecting seeds?"
Mike nodded, "Yes, do you have any?"
"Yeah, my godfather collected some on the battlefield. They were meant to be heirlooms, but I'm short on cash, so I'm selling them..."
Max Stoneheart took out a transpart box containing a special seed cased in amber.
[Seed: Spring Rain]
[Material: SS-grade]
[Effect: Increases the quality limit of seeds that Force of Nature can hold, while reducing the number of seeds it can hold]
"Name your price, I'll take it."
With over ,000 Battle Lord merits, Mike spoke confidtly.
[Spring Rain] had one effect: hancing the quality of seeds that Force of Nature could hold!
Force of Nature was only an S-grade staff, unlike Nightmare's Breeze, which had a voracious appetite for materials.
Clearly, Vladimir held high esteem among the vampires.
To avoid turning into a pig, he had to prove his worth, but his subordinates wer't as fortunate.
Vladimir excelled at being a servant and ev better at slaving others.
"Well done. Give him an extra chick leg for dinner."
Vladimir's mouth twitched.
I'm a vampire, and you give me a chick leg?
What am I, a weasel?
Mike checked the previous day's output, stored it in his space, and left once everything was in order.
...
Trade Secret Realm.
Foreskin expertly counted the minerals, now numb to the process.
",00 tons of S-grade ore, 7,000 tons of A-grade ore, 5,000 tons of B-grade ore... totaling 5,500 Battle Lord merits."
Mike previously had 6,000 merits. The vampire essce blood chantmt cost 860, and [Spring Rain] cost . Adding these 5,500 points, he now had 30,630 Battle Lord merits.
"By the way, I have something else I want to buy," Mike said, seizing the momt. "After the Force of Nature chantmt, there's a high life steal. Is there any way to convert the excess life steal into a shield?"
To be honest, Mike still felt a bit lacking in terms of survival. Stacking health and shields would give him a sse of security.
"Forbidd spells or high-level skills... probably not suitable for your currt situation," Foreskin said, clearly prepared, as he took out a red gem.
"Attach this directly to your equipmt. It converts % of the excess life steal into a shield, up to a maximum of billion shield value, and the shield lasts for up to 5 minutes."
After introducing the [Blood Feast Gem], Foreskin named the price, "350,000 gold coins each, discounted."
Mike calculated that he indeed needed this, and quite a bit of it.
"How about 3 Blood Feast Gems for Battle Lord merit?"
"Deal."
"Give me 600."
The number startled Foreskin. 600? Are you sure you need that many? 00 Battle Lord merits spt just like that! Although Mike wasn't short on money, this purchase demand was quite extravagant.
Foreskin quickly understood the reason.
The Blood Feast Gem's conversion limit was billion. Thor must have extremely high burst damage, and a single lightning attack could exceed the billion limit, hce the need for 600 Blood Feast Gems.
"Paymt successful!"
"Balance: 30,430 Battle Lord merits!"
After receiving the 600 [Blood Feast Gems], Mike checked the time. It was already :30 AM.
"Catch you later, I'm heading to the instance."
With that, Mike's figure turned into lightning and disappeared from the spot.
