Chapter 124：First Top-up Benefits of the System

Chapter 124:First Top-up Benefits of the System

Three major families join forces, with Gabriel leading nearly a hundred Black Magic Guards in a betrayal. Tonight's battle leaves no chance of victory for the Jardson family.

After this night, the Abyss will enter a new era dominated by the three major families.

The corrupt Jardson family, who indiscriminately distributed magic drugs, has been destroyed. For the Abyss, there should be a relatively brighter future.

Therefore, on this special night, Charlotte also intends to do something herself.

For example, kill a damn person.

Nightmare Street will undoubtedly be bloodied tonight, and the remnants and lackeys of the Jardson family will be purged.

Tova Street feels a bit desolate, at least the three major families will not cast their eyes here tonight.

Ziba's Tavern, the owner who has committed many crimes, is hiding in his tavern tonight, taking advantage of a young half-orc girl.

The bruised little girl trembles, biting her lip tightly, afraid to cry out. Otherwise, a heavy slap will greet her.

"Tonight is a good day. The Jardson family will control the entire Abyss. By then, I will open more taverns and recruit more little foxes who have escaped from the Harriman family. Hehe... "

Ziba lounges on a large sofa, drinking and wearing a sinful smirk on his greasy face.

A sword is placed against his neck from behind, and the icy touch makes his smirk fade away.

"Regrettably, I have to inform you that the Jardson family has been destroyed, and you will not have the opportunity to open another tavern." A low voice sounds from behind him.

"Who... who are you?!"

The fat on Ziba's face trembles, and his face turns pale with fear.

"You can call me Miracle."

Charlotte's face hidden under the hood is extremely cold, looking at the half-orc girl next to Ziba who is disheveled, her killing intent rises.

"You... you can't kill me. I can give you money, all my money." Ziba says in fear.

The sharp sword is too close to his neck, close enough to cut his throat with a gentle swipe, leaving him no room to resist.

He still doesn't understand at this moment. The door was securely locked. How did this guy silently sneak into the tavern?

What about the useless guards at the door?

"Money?" The sword in Charlotte's hand pauses, and she asks with interest, "Where is it?"

Ziba's face brightens up.

Since the other party is interested in money, it means they are not here for revenge. He instinctively looks at the wall beside him.

"It's over there." Charlotte follows his gaze.

"Yes, yes, if you put the sword away, I will get it for you." Ziba smiles obsequiously.

But in the next moment, his smile freezes.

He covers his fat neck as a bloodline gradually becomes clear, and fresh blood gushes out.

"No need for that."

Charlotte lifts the motionless half-orc girl sitting on the sofa, and wraps him in a blanket, avoiding the splashing blood and the bloody scene.

Charlotte puts the little girl on a nearby chair, walks towards the wall, and uses his sword to cross two strokes on the wall.

A piece of the wall falls off, revealing an iron safe embedded in the wall.

With a flick of her sword, the large lock hanging on the iron safe falls to the ground.

Charlotte cautiously uses the sword to open the safe door.

Instead of the expected chest full of gold coins, there is only a small pile of silver coins in the corner and an exquisite black box, along with a torn ancient beast skin parchment.

Charlotte takes out a money bag and first collects the small pile of silver coins in the corner.

The automatic counting machine of the system works, totaling 329 silver coins.

It is relatively poor compared to the owner of such a tavern.

Then Charlotte picks up the pale yellow beast's skin.

The beast's skin seems to be very ancient, torn from the middle, with uneven edges. It should have been torn during a violent robbery.

It looks like a map, with rough drawings of mountains, rivers, and a marked route with a red line.

An inexplicable route map, but for some reason, Ziba treasures it so much.

He was about to put away the beast's skin first when he subconsciously looked at the back.

"Do you want immortality?"

A line of red letters entered his eyes, like having a strange charm, making him unable to look away.

Ding!

The system makes a prompt sound.

Charlotte suddenly comes to his senses and realizes that he had unconsciously brought his face close to the beast's skin, almost touching it.

Whoa!

He instinctively throws the beast's skin away. This thing... is a bit eerie.

Just a line of text had a hallucinogenic effect on him.

If it weren't for the system alert, he wouldn't have known what strange things would happen if he got close to that piece of beast skin.

[System Note: It looks like a map with psychedelic effects. Collecting the complete beast skin might provide more clues.]

Hesitating for a moment, Charlotte bent down and picked up the beast's skin. He closed his eyes, rolled it up with the map facing outwards, tied it with a thin rope, and then put it away.

His gaze fell on the exquisite box. With the previous experience of the parchment, Charlotte cautiously used the tip of his sword to open the lid.

Inside the box was a magic spell.

[An uncommon Level 5 Thunderstorm Magic Spell, worth 200,000 copper coins.]

Charlotte's eyes lit up as he put away his sword and picked up the box.

The long strip-shaped magic spell was written with complex magical runes, and in the middle, there was a blue lightning symbol.

Thunder magic was one of the most powerful and destructive types of magic.

Compared to other elemental magic users, those who specialized in thunder magic were relatively rare. It was even rarer to seal the highly unstable thunder magic into a magic spell.

He suddenly realized that Ziba's earlier attempt to open the cash register was not to buy his life with money but to use this Thunderstorm Magic Spell to strike back at him.

With the Level 5 Thunderstorm Spell, even with his agility, he couldn't possibly dodge it.

Fortunately, he followed the villain's rule of dying from speaking too much. After asking about the location of the treasure chest, he resolved the battle directly.

He closed the exquisite box and put it back into his pocket.

This was a valuable treasure - the Level 5 Thunderstorm Spell gave him a chance to fight against Level 5 experts.

It was an absolute killer move.

Closing the window, and locking the door, Charlotte took out all the loot from tonight and placed it on the table.

The Space Ring and the Thunderstorm Magic Symbol were undoubtedly the biggest gains.

The Space Ring could store valuable items and be carried around, avoiding the risk of being stolen at home.

As a powerful Level 5 attack-type magic symbol, the Thunderstorm Magic Symbol had great power and was the ace up his sleeve.

He tossed the mysterious beast skin map aside. It was too bizarre, and he didn't want to study it for now. He would ask the experienced experts in the Red Moon Group when he had the chance.

However, finding the other half of the beast's skin would be like finding a needle in a haystack. He wouldn't waste too much time and effort on it.

The cash earnings were 329 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins as a reward from the system.

Charlotte stared at the spatial ring for a while, pondering its usage, when suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind.

With a thought, everything on the table disappeared.

And in his field of vision, a system panel appeared with an inventory, neatly categorizing all items.

In the bottom left corner, there was also a display showing the remaining spatial capacity, which was 95%.

With a thought, Charlotte made ten silver coins appear on the table.

"This is so precise and convenient!" Charlotte exclaimed in delight. With another thought, the coins appeared in the palm of his hand.

Then he tested it with the Judgment Sword.

With a thought.

The Judgment Sword remained motionless on the table.

"Hmm?"

Charlotte was stunned.

[The spatial capacity is only 1m, which is a cubic space with a side length of 1 meter. To ensure space utilization, all objects can only be laid flat. Objects longer than 1 meter will not be able to enter the spatial ring. If you need to store larger objects, please expand the spatial ring.]

Damn it!

Charlotte was dumbfounded by the system's explanation.

For the sake of selling memberships, this system didn't even care about its face.

He put away the black robe, luckily it didn't expand too much in surface area, otherwise, he would have thrown away the ring.

Sitting at the table, Charlotte made a one-meter-long stick appear and disappear.

He wore the ring on his right hand, and the stick appeared as if out of thin air.

With a thought, one end of the stick was perfectly gripped in his hand.

The more he played with it, the more he liked it.

If he replaced the Judgment Sword with it, a raise of his hand would summon the sword into his hand, ready for a swing.

Who could withstand that?

No need for incantations, no need to search distractedly, as long as he thought about it, the sword would be in his hand.

It was simply a godsend for an old silver coin thief!

He couldn't replace the Judgment Sword, although it was a broken sword, it was still superior to many divine weapons.

Replacing it with another weapon of the same level would cost more than he could afford.

Magic spells could only be used as a trump card, amulets, but the real sense of security came from the sword in his hand.

So, it was very important for the Judgment Sword to fit in the spatial ring for him.

Charlotte dragged out a box from under the bed, unpacking all his belongings and laying out his gains from tonight.

After careful counting, there were a total of 162,460 copper coins.

This was all his savings during this period, earned through frugality and hard work, some of which were even bought with his life.

And now, to expand the spatial ring, he had to be tricked into giving away more than half of it by this damn system.

His heart ached!

"System, can we negotiate the price?" Charlotte tentatively asked.

[No.]

The system coldly refused.

"Then forget it, I won't expand it." Charlotte gathered the money in front of him, feeling relieved.

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the first-time expansion bonus! In addition to the one-for-one expansion, the host will also receive a bonus of 1m! This is a rare opportunity that shouldn't be missed! Only today, don't miss out!]

The system's notification sound rang out.

"Huh?"

Charlotte touched his chin, feeling somewhat tempted. It was equivalent to 100,000 copper coins, enough to expand the spatial ring to 4m.

But don't underestimate this 4m, if it were in the wilderness, it could fit a wild buffalo.

"I'll do it!" Charlotte finally made up his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the spatial ring has been successfully expanded! It now has a capacity of 4m!]

The system's delightful voice sounded, along with two additional firework effects.

Charlotte looked at the suddenly reduced pile of money in front of him, feeling a pain in his heart that made it hard to breathe.

The feeling of emptiness made him feel as if he had been deceived.

With the remaining 62,460 copper coins, he still had to buy some items for the medical clinic and pay the rent.

The existence of the off-season meant that his previously estimated monthly income was too optimistic.

Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, he put away the money on the table and looked at the Judgment Sword.

With a thought, the Judgment Sword disappeared.

With another thought, the Judgment Sword appeared in his hand, ready to draw and strike smoothly!

A smile finally appeared on Charlotte's face.

Now he could carry the Judgment Sword with him, and by mastering the spatial ring, he could achieve excellent sneak attack effects.

It doesn't seem too wasteful to spend one hundred thousand copper coins.

"Knock, knock!"

At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Charlotte hurriedly put away her judgment sword and pushed the box back under the bed before opening the door.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door? Are you rewarding yourself?"

Diana stood at the doorway, holding a glass of red wine and examining Charlotte from head to toe, even leaning in to take a sniff.
