Chapter 163 - 163 Seizing the House

163 Seizing the House

As of now, four out of the 26 contract slots had been used.

They were used on Widow Wang, Wayne, Mason, and Hanks. An Kai didn’t want to waste a contract slot on Hanks, but it was strongly requested by Widow Wang.

It could be said that it had improved their friendship.

Every time this happened, An Kai would think of Christy.

Of course, it wasn’t because of her, but because of her knowledge of magic.

Sigh!

In the room, An Kai suddenly sighed.

This stunned Mason and he thought to himself, ‘Master, you also know about the changes in the city?!’

Just as he was about to speak and describe the changes in the city, he saw An Kai’s eyebrows turn serious as he looked at Hanks.”

” Hanks, you promised to give me more middle-grade sorcerer’s stones. I only got two after such a long time?!

“What did I tell you last time? If I can’t get the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone after I come out of seclusion, just wait to collect your own corpse!”

Widow Wang was unhappy when she heard An Kai say that about Hanks. She frowned visibly.

But she also knew that Hanks was in the wrong.

After all, he had only been given two middle-grade sorcerer’s stones in a year. It was indeed too unreasonable.

However, there was nothing he could do. Middle-grade magic stones were different from low-grade magic stones.

It was equivalent to a heaven and an earth.

Hanks had been searching for the mineral veins for a long time, but he had only found two medium-grade sorcerer’s stones in a year.

No, it was three.

Hanks laughed and quickly took out a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone.

He reached out to An Kai.” Calm down, calm down. The rarer a thing is, the more precious it is.”

A low-grade sorcerer’s stone was only the size of a fingernail, but a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone was different. It was the size of a head.

There were also some natural arrays within, and dense magic elements were emitted.

An Kai waved his hand lightly, and a cage formed by [Frost] covered it.

The magic elements that were scattered disappeared.

This was another effect of An Kai’s [Frost].

It was only after he interacted with the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone that he understood.

His [Frost] could also seal the mana elements that were emitted.

After all, before the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone, An Kai had never seen an item with such a dense magical element.

He put away the mid-grade sorcerer’s stone that was the size of a skull and placed it on the third floor of his [Mage Tower].

There were two other medium-grade sorcerer’s stones here.

An Kai had once thought that a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone was just a low-grade sorcerer’s stone with a different name. At most, its effect would be better.

When he first obtained the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone from Hanks, An Kai knew that he was wrong.

The system’s notification of the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone confirmed An Kai’s decision to preserve it.

[Middle-grade magic stone]

[Rarity: High Grade]

[Remark: Can be exchanged for 1000 Skill Points.]

[Hint: It is not recommended to use a medium-grade sorcerer’s stone to exchange for skill points. Keep it well. It might be useful in the future.]

The system’s notification of the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone, coupled with An Kai’s abundant skill points…

He decided to preserve the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone.

Of course, if he were in a life-or-death crisis and did not have enough skill points, he would still exchange for medium-grade sorcerer’s stones to increase his strength.

He would not do that now.

After his [Intelligence] increased to 701 points, he spent 5400 skill points to upgrade his spell level, using up all his magic nuclei and low-grade magic stones.

This was even after using a portion of the taxes he had collected to exchange for Skill Points with the Stage 5 forces in the city.

However, An Kai still had no intention of using the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone.

After all, what he lacked was sorcerer’s stone, not gold coins. As long as he had gold coins, he could always exchange them for low-grade magic gems.

” During the time just now, the magic elements emitted were enough for two low-grade stones. Deduct two gold coins.”

An Kai mumbled after putting away the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone.

Hanks then handed over a book.

It recorded the transaction between An Kai and Hanks.

An Kai took the book. His hands moved quickly, and he read it seriously. He was not idle either.” Hanks, what is our relationship? How can I not trust you?

“You don’t have to show it to me next time.”

Hanks was stunned when he heard that. When did he increase his trust level with An Kai?

“Show it to Wayne next time. I don’t like these numbers.”

Hanks was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

He was shocked. He thought that An Kai had gone crazy.

Hanks was relieved when he heard that he had to show it to Wayne.

This was the An Kai he was familiar with, a guy who was extremely vigilant.

An Kai only had one concept of how much wealth he had.

Even though he hadn’t collected taxes from the Stage 5 forces in the city yet.

However, just the ordinary forces and residents in the city could provide An Kai with a considerable amount of tax.

To be honest, he was not interested in money.

He only liked the Sorcerer’s Stone.

No matter how many gold coins he had, it was just a number to An Kai.

For example, Hanks owed him 13246 gold coins for the low-grade sorcerer’s stone, and Wayne helped him store items worth 42136 gold coins.

“Hanks, the exchange rate between a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone and a gold coin is 1:1000 gold coins. However, because you didn’t store the stone well, you just lost about two low-grade sorcerer’s stones.”
