Chapter 98: A MILLION POTIONS? LUKE’S REWARD WAS TOO ABSURD
SLAM!!!
Luke looked blankly at the closed brown door of the Inn room, in which Aurielle was living.
"Sigh." With a light sigh and slumped shoulder, Luke moved away from the door.
’When will her anger reduce?’ With this thought, he reached another room. Which is alongside Aurielle’s room.
"hehe." But when Luke was about to open the door, he heard the faint giggling sound from behind.
After that he turned toward it, and he became a little embarrassed. Because Margaret was standing there with the female cat manager. And both are giggling while looking toward his direction.
Yeah, after walking some distance, they found this inn was opened. So they come here again.
"Margaret," Luke called Margaret without any embarrassed voice and said. "Can you please try to appease Aurielle?" His voice sounded a little low when he said this. Though Margaret paused her giggle and gave a half nod to Luke.
’Seems like yes-no.’ With that, he unlocks the door and enters the room. then closed the door, without looking back.
[Luke, I have told you already. that includes Margaret in your harem as well. So if next time Aurielle becomes angry or jealous. Then Margaret will take care of the situation.]
After entering just as Luke was about to slump onto the bed, he heard the system sage’s voice.
"..."
He just gave a speechless look toward the system screen and shook his head. because the system was still hell-bent on making Margaret a harem member.
"Wait!" But When a system message comes, he also remembers something he had almost forgotten.
"System, where are my rewards?" With a questioning look, Luke asked the system. Who got silent for a moment before a screen popped up.
[Return system activated: Checking both wives emotions...]
Luke nodded after he finally saw this message. Because he is not letting go of his rewards.
When he was thinking this, Nyx and Myrkhal also came out with curious expressions, then each settled down on his shoulders.
Luke’s eyes twitch at this, because most of the time, they like to remain somewhere inside him. But for this they come out almost immediately.
[Emotions calculated. First Wife Aurielle Valmont.]
[Yesterday emotions: Jealousy/Love/Fear/Satisfied/Proud...etc.]
After reading Aurielle’s emotions, Luke nodded. Because he was sure about this. As he felt some of them firsthand, while for others, like pride, he did not.
’It must be when I beat those nobles.’ He nodded while thinking this.
[Congratulations!!! 10,000x Return Activated (Max)!!!]
"????" Tons of questions appeared on Luke’s face, while Nyx and Myrkhal just watched this curiosity.
Luke got confused because the word "maxed" didn’t come out before. ’So why now?’ After thinking for a moment, he didn’t get any answer, so he asked the system about this.
[Well...Luke... It’s like that....]
"0-0" "Say it!" Luke felt the system was taking too much time, so he urged him to spill the beans.
[Hmm...your first milestone. The one 100x multiplier with Aurielle is not going to work here. Because the max return is 10,000x.]
Luke stood silently for a moment before he shook his head and didn’t curse the system on this.
’Why?’ Because he has already guessed somewhat with the system name. That’s clearly saying 10,000x.
"I forgive you! system." The system heard Luke’s forgiving voice, but something was wrong. ’Why forgive me? The system got confused, but seeing Luke was again getting impatient, it wanted to see the rewards first. So he stopped his thinking while presenting the list of rewards from Aurielle.
[You have gotten the E-rank rewards bundle!]
[100 Iron Knight Stage Tempering Potion x 10,000!]
[One E-rank Human Ascension Series. x 10,000!]
[One Enchanted Tier Moving War Fortress x 10,000!]
"Well, that’s something..." A big smile appeared on Luke first after seeing rewards from Aurielle.
But when he saw the first reward, his face became ugly, and a bad premonition rose into his heart.
"System, the thing you said about using 100x for upgrading tier rank for a reward."
[Yes.] System nodded after hearing Luke’s words, but Luke didn’t stop and continue.
"So, can I...like...decide that only 50 potions are to be upgraded, while leaving the remaining ones?" Luke, with a shaky voice, asked this to the system.
Because he has already heard from the system. That anything from this world can’t help him at all in case of a realm breakthrough or tempering the realm.
So all he has system potions. But now if he gets 10,000x of those, then he has to wait for the bronze-rank tempering potion. Which he does not when he will get.
So that’s why this question.
[(0-0) Of course not! I am a reputable system, and this type of thing does not work with me at all.]
But sadly, the system’s answer completely ruined Luke’s plan.
[Though you have like two 100x. So you can upgrade only one time and multiply the amount by 100x.]
Luke nodded half-heartedly at the system’s answer but didn’t do the upgrade.
’I need an iron-temper potion, not a bronze one. At least for now.’ So with gritted teeth he clicks on the 10,000x multiplier.
[Congratulations!!! Luke, for getting 1 million Iron Knight Stage Temper Potions!]
"Yeah..." Luke just replied nonchalantly while thinking, ’At least now, I can train millions of peak iron knights.’
He laughed lightly at his thought, while Nyx and Myrkhal didn’t comment on this. Because they didn’t find these rewards worthwhile.
Then Luke turns his gaze toward the second reward. Which was the E-rank human ascension series.
"What to do?" He muttered confusedly, then asked the system for some info.
[Luke, each rank of the ascension series decides the move it contains.]
[For E rank... only one move is there, which can help only breakthrough, from bronze rank to silver knight. "Of course! except you, because it’s helping... not making the breakthrough."]
Luke heard the system words clearly, but at the last words, his face sank again. Because this means he can’t even depend on the Ascension series, which humans make for realm breakthroughs.
"Ok, fine..." With a low voice, he said, while thinking about how to choose.
He first canceled the E rank because it’s a low type and only has one move. after a person reached Silver Knight. That person will need another ascension series.
And for upgrading once to make them D-rank and get hundreds of them. He also shook his head.
Though in the previous case, he will get 100 random D-rank ascension series.
Still no, So he finally upgraded them straight to C rank.
[Congratulations!!! Luke, for getting the C rank Human Ascension Series: Black Steel Ascension Series.]
Luke nodded with a smile on his face and checked what this C-rank ascension series contains.
