Chapter 478 - 478: Shopping Spree

Chapter 478 – 478: Shopping Spree

There were quite a few new arts, techniques, weapons, talismans, pills, potions, knowledge, and auxiliary materials, and objects inside the new shop of the Legacy System.

The best part about it though was most probably the fact that the Legacy System could now sell to him herbs and materials that he would have a difficult time finding on Earth.

While Earth was still a rather big and old planet, it was still rather difficult to find precious herbs that had a long life and had gathered aura to become spiritual herbs.

For example, while it could be easy to find 100 years old ginseng if someone truly searched through the medicine markets, then finding a 1.000 or 10.000 years old one was the same as scaling Mount Everest.

But from now on, the system would not only give them to him through SP points of the system but would also give him more detailed information about the herbs, and the components of people it analyzed.

If before the system could only organize the outside information about a person or an object, from now on it would be able to give information as if he was looking through it with an X-ray eyesight.

For example, while looking at an herb he would also receive the information about the age, the conditions, and even the medicinal effect of the herb, just like reading it in a live encyclopedia.

While looking at a person, he would also have information about the body structure, its conditions, and even sickness, perfecting his role as an alchemist.

This was an extremely bendy upgrade for him, as he would certainly be able to deal better with people and their weaknesses in the future.

But at the same time, he didn't like it, as this would make his dependency on the system even greater. 

While there was now an Equal's contract between him and the fairy, he still couldn't lower his guard with her. 

After all, he had basically forced her to accept the contract, so once she woke up she wouldn't be happy about it.

With those thoughts in his mind, he decided upon the next thing he wanted to spend SP points on, as he opened the Shop to search for recognition and analyzing knowledge.

Like this, he would start learning to use his own methods to observe and analyze his targets, while he used the system's feature in the meantime.

Right now he possessed around 1.821.234 points that he had gathered the previous day, as the average level of the insurgents was around 27.

While he hadn't killed all of them personally, the system had still counted them as his kill and experience, so he had achieved quite the experience.

In fact, he had already gained the rights to evolve into Realm 2 but had willingly rejected the evolution and was restraining it.

This time it wasn't due to his distrust in the Legacy System, but due to his wish to train and strengthen his body with Dragon Force before continuing.

In order to do that, the best choice would be fusing with more Dragon blood, but once he did that then the effects of other types of blood, and Body Tempering Potions would be fully lost.

So, he had decided to first temper his mortal body through the Body Tempering Liquids, different beasts' blood, and finally use the Dragon blood.

'Well, let's take things one step at a time!' thinking like that, Eric quickly found what he was firstly searching for, landing on a '7 Senses Analyze' technique, and directly bought it.

The price was quite salty, as he had to pay 400.000 SP points for this technique, but it would be worth it once he managed to completely absorb it.

!!! '7 Senses Analyze has been bought! Does the Host wish to absorb it immediately? YES/NO

No matter how much Eric wanted to press Yes directly, he still had to prevent himself from doing so, as he had still some other things to buy.

Without wasting time, he quickly started searching for comprehension increasing techniques, medicine, or arts.

While he wasn't bad, and with the help of his Soul Art he would be able to gather Soul Aura and grow his Soul and comprehension naturally, he still wanted to speed up the process.

He had already been reminded many times by the Dragon Empress that he was no match to those geniuses in the Higher Realms because he was lacking in talent and comprehension.

Well, it looked like most of the time she was just trying to insult him for being an idiot, but Eric wasn't angered by that, as he truly felt himself lacking.

After a quick search, he quickly found what he wanted, and it came in the form of a pill that would increase his thinking speed and process by 7% in the course of a year.

The catch of this pill was that he could only take one every year to a limit of 5, after that the effects would be inexistent, and its price was a mind-blowing 70.000 SP points.

Well, considering its effects the price could be said to be fair and cheap, but it was still a heavy burden on his pockets, and truthfully he hoped for better.

The second finding was actually a medicinal soup said to help him freshen the mind and improve the soul, which would slowly increase his comprehension and speed up the brain processes.

The effects with each bowl of soup were almost inexistent, going up with only 0.005% but the good part for this was that it didn't lose effect, and could be used infinitely.

One bowl of soup cost him 1.000 SP points, while the recipe cost a whopping 200.000 and he needed to be a level 3 Alchemist to actually do it himself.

For a moment it felt like the Legacy System had become a brand shop with quality goods but extremely salty prices that would most probably make him have a heart attack in the future.

Forgetting about that, the next part he needed to improve were his fighting techniques, defense, and finally his stealth and escaping.

He had now understood that it would be impossible to win every fight, and in order to survive, he would need the ability to escape and survive with his life in the least.

When he had left the Gao Family he had used 2 Escape Talismans one after the other, and that was enough because he caught the enemy by surprise.

If he was in the same situation again, he would probably need to use at least 4 times more to be able to cleanly escape that Li Saint's following.

Thinking like that, he first decided to spend his SP points on a movement technique. There were quite a few of them, but there was one that caught his eye.

In fact, it was a broken technique that cost 80.000 at 4 stars, but it was ranked amidst the first.

Furthermore, there was even a note for an upgrade, for 5 times the price to 5 stars and 10 times the price for 6 stars.

The technique was called 'Void Steps' and if one managed to practice it to perfect when it was upgraded to 5 stars it said that the practitioner would start to walk through space.

If it continued to perfection on 6 stars it was even considered as teleportation, that only a peak Realm 7 or higher expert could do.

It was extremely enticing for sure, but its price was also a big scary figure, rounding up close to 1.3 million SP points just to buy, forgetting the difficulty of perfectly comprehending it.

Still, considering it as a permanent life-saving card then the price wasn't that expensive. With those thoughts in mind, Eric decided to buy it and also pay for its first upgrade.

!!! Warning! The Host can upgrade the skill only after reaching the perfection of the previous Star Grade!

"Fu*ck!"

Only after buying did this trashy system give him such a warning, making him extremely mad, as he was now left without much of a choice, he had to first reach perfection at the 4 Star Grade.

Just as logic had it, the Star grade for techniques and weapons was equivalent to the Realm difference between people.

What's more, after Realm 5 the weapons would even possess spiritual sentience, that would grow stronger with each increase in Realm.

Most probably a weapon of the Realm 8 or Realm 9 would even have a spiritual sentience that wasn't different from a million years living expert.

Just thinking about one day having such a weapon, having a big melonned beauty as its spiritual sentience made Eric salivate as if he was enjoying looking at an amazing meal.

Nodding quickly his head a few times in order to regain his senses, he let it go for the moment as he started looking for a weapon for himself.

His 'Soul Reaper' dagger wasn't useful anymore, as it was too weak for the current him, and it had sentimental values, so he didn't want to destroy it.

For that reason, he started searching for a good replacement, and his eyes shined when he saw a 5-star little sword at the Shop interface.

Its blade was extremely thin just like a cicada's wing, with a beautiful purple color, as its handle was made of a black metal ornated in red jewels.

It was love at first sight, as Eric was looking at the short sword just like he had already fallen in love at first sight with a beauty.

It was an extremely heart-touching moment…
