Chapter 53

Rezen grieved for a moment before he used 1 million out of the 4 million mana stones that he acquired to recharge lottery tickets and blessing points

He hope that with this much, he would obtain a lot of things!

[Ding! Absorbing 1 million mana stones. Does the Host want to receive +2% on the Farm upgrade, Spirit Plant Essence Condenser, or lottery tickets x50,000 and blessing points x50,000]

Rezen’s eyes glowed brightly. There’s actually something like this? Could it be that as long as the system can absorb corpses or mana stones in large quantities, it can give direct rewards and not just lottery tickets and blessing points?

But now that Rezen thinks of it, only the times when his Farm absorbs corpses worth tens of thousands did it ask him if he wants to upgrade the farm

Now that he used a million mana stones at once, more option was given to him which is good!

Rezen can feel that the first few times he used lottery tickets and blessing points contained the ‘beginner’s luck’ or ‘beginner’s pity’

After he started hunting magic beasts every day, the drop rate has dwindled further

If this goes on then even a recharge of a hundred million mana stones might still not be enough to give him something good

Maybe, all he would receive were recovery pills and the blessing of good sleep

“System, what is the Spirit Plants Essence Condenser?” Rezen asks. The name sounds a bit self-explanatory but it was still better to check

[Spirit Plants Essence Condenser – an item that can condense the essence of spirit plants. The essence of thousands or even millions of spirit plants can be condensed into a small yet concentrated quantity]

“Wait… doesn’t this mean that I don’t have to eat thousands of clementines anymore? Wouldn’t this item make me a mage with the most number of mystic gems?” Rezen said to himself excitedly

He almost died eating all those clementines and he is unwilling to suffer again!

However, Rezen is also greedy. He wanted to upgrade his elixir field to contain even more mystic gems. The more the better!

Too bad that the more rainbow clementines he eats, the more he would require to continue the upgrade

But this Spirit Plants Condenser would definitely help him greatly. It can be said that this item would be one of the items that he greatly needed!

“System, I choose the Spirit Plants Essence Condenser!” Rezen said excitedly and in just a moment, an item landed on top of his palm and he almost threw up the blood in his heart

“What the hell!! Isn’t this a blender?!” He said while staring at the blender in his hand incredulously

Granted, the blender was fully made from gold but still… a blender is a blender

The system could have at least given him a cauldron, that is way cooler than a blender!

Rezen almost passed out after receiving such a thing. He felt suspicious but the system is the system. No matter how much suspicions he got, he don’t think that the system would scam him and give him a defective item

For now, Rezen stored the blen— ehem, Spirit Plants Essence Condenser in his storage and he wasn’t able to fight the temptation to recharge using another million mana stones

[Ding! Absorbing 1 million mana stones. Does the Host want to receive an incomplete Stigma of Lightning (can kill entities of 4th rank and below), +2% on the Farm Upgrade, or lottery tickets x50,000 and blessing points x50,000]

“Incomplete Stigma? Is that the same as the Stigma of Fire but can only defeat entities at 4th rank and below?”

Rezen wanted to have that incomplete Stigma since even if he were to team up with Zero, a 4th rank entity is still an enemy they cannot defeat

Zero might be in the middle of 3rd and 4th rank but honestly speaking, he was just stronger than most 3rd rank mages but is still far from the 4th rank

After all, those two ranks were like the dividing line between cannon fodders and elites

Having that incomplete stigma is a lifesaver, as can be seen when Rezen used his Stigma of Fire

However… Rezen felt that increasing his own power should be the priority. If he can upgrade his farm to level 4 and he obtains quality 4 mysterious peach or banana, reaching that rank should be easy

As such, this time, Rezen chose the lottery tickets and Blessing points and he used them both

[Ding! Using lottery tickets x50,000]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving 49,900 recovery pills, mysterious peaches x90, and mysterious banana x10]

Rezen’s eyes almost rolled at the back of his head. He knew it, the more lottery tickets he obtained, the lower the drop rate!

The few thousand lottery tickets that he obtained the past week gave him tens of mysterious peaches and 1 mysterious banana. But now, 50,000 lottery tickets only amount to this!

Rezen held his aching heart as he moved on to use the blessing points

[Ding! Redeeming Blessings!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving the Blessing of good sleep x68]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for increasing his talent! Host’s talent is upgraded to 4%!]

50,000 blessing points are only enough to increase Rezen’s talent by 2%! The drop rate has become even more broken!

This more or less proved Rezen’s theory. The more lottery tickets he used and the more blessings he redeemed, the lower the drop rate of the jackpot prizes!

Rezen shed tears that he soon wiped with his hand

“There are mountains beyond mountains and mana stones beyond mana stones. Just you wait! I will earn all more mana stones soon!”

Greenwood City

Slums

In almost every city in the world, there is the existence of areas for the rich and areas for the poor

A slum is a dirty place where all kinds of people mixed in. It was a place that don’t receive much attention, a perfect place for criminals to gather

Inside a hidden headquarters, some people can be seen. All of them were wearing long robes and masks of all sorts of beasts to hide their identities

Most of them might not know the name and appearance of the others but they still know one thing. All of them here were members of Twighlight Beasts!

A group of people that have hidden for years but are now starting to emerge

Inside one of the rooms in their Headquarters, a mage wearing a fox mask was sitting on a couch

On the opposite side of him were five people also wearing their masks. Three of them wore dog masks and the two were wearing cat masks, the most common masks used by Twighlight Demons

The mage wearing a fox mask placed a photo on the table

It was a photo of a handsome young man and it was none other than Rezen Virion himself!

“This is your target. If all of you successfully accomplish the mission of killing him, all of you would belong to the first batch that will receive the werebeast nucleus, shedding your mortal skin and elevating to a higher level of existence. Obtaining more power than you have now” the fox-masked mage said and the five other mages excitedly stared at the face of their target

“Finally! We waited a long time for this!”

“Her Majesty is finally giving us her blessing!”

“I would do my best to be of help to Her Majesty!”

The Twighlight Beasts is an organization that can be classified as a terrorist organization

In the past, they seldom show themselves to commit vile acts in a systematic manner but lately, that changes

More and more missions and operations have been done by them

The members are mostly the scums of the society – rapists, murderers, madmen, sadists, and many more

Aside from them, there are also those that were brainwashed to revere and adore their Majesty. Their life purpose was to be a tool that will serve their Empress even if it meant sacrificing their lives

The more loyalty and power they have, the better treatment they would receive from the organization

“Remember, the Twighlight Beasts don’t tolerate failures. All of you must succeed, you understand?”

“Yes, Snow Fox!” The five replied in unison and the five mages embarked on a short journey to kill their target

They were given the basic information about their target and they knew the target’s strength and also the place where he was living

These five were all mages at the 2nd fusion rank but their talent is lacking. Just reaching the 3rd rank alone was already a struggle that they have not succeeded yet

Their comprehension skills were low and even their talent is only at an uncommon grade

They are nothing but cannon fodders. But since their target is just a 2nd fusion rank mage and there are five of them that were also experienced with assassination, there should be no way that they will fail on their task, right?

Too bad that their investigation on the target that they think is a small fry is shallow and they didn’t even put Zero in the picture
