“Mr. Liam, this conversation is going nowhere. We both have our own limitations, so instead of mana cores, how about we make this trade in terms of other things? Hmm? Would you be interested in some items or skills?” Aron flashed a big smile and rubbed his hands in anticipation.
The fairy watched Liam’s expression slowly change. A frown appeared on his face, and for a while, he appeared to be thinking about something deeply. This made the guy even more nervous.
However, in the end, Liam nodded in agreement. “I can understand your predicament. I will take 10 skills and 10 items in exchange for the dungeon crystal core.”
“Ten?!” Aron gasped.
“Of course, this is in addition to the guild registration fees. Even if you are not able to pay me low-grade mana cores, I am sure you can do that much?”
Aron gritted his teeth. He was definitely getting this at a bargain, so he couldn’t possibly say no to this, but at the same time, he was not the one gaining the most in this deal. 10 skills? 10 items? The shop was definitely going to take a beating if he gave away so much for free.
On the other hand, he couldn’t really care less about the shop’s balance sheet. As long as he could get his hands on the dungeon crystal core, then it would all be worth it.
As for the guild registration fees, waiving it or not-waiving it wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Since he was not handing out mana cores directly, there were a lot of excuses he could possibly use for this purpose.
The fairy sighed after a while and then finally nodded. “Ok. I will agree to this. I will waive the guild registration fees immediately, but only one skill and one item can be redeemed at a time. You will have to wait for an entire month before selecting the next item and skill.”
Liam did not argue with him anymore and simply agreed.
Phew! Aron loudly sighed and then quickly brought up a formal agreement with the system. As Liam signed the thing, he sneered inwardly.
‘Fool! How many months do you think you will be able to survive in this apocalypse? You will be long dead before even you can get your filthy hands on the second item and skill. Hmph!’
‘This is what you get for trying to reach beyond your limits!’
Even though the deal was for 10 skills and 10 items, Aron was pretty sure that the human was probably capable of redeeming 3 or 4 of them at the most. After that, this world itself might not remain standing.
There was also another reason why he had readily accepted the offer, and this was because… not everyone can access every skill available in the shop.
Skills in the magic shop ranged from rank F to rank A. Above these skills, there were another tier of skills, S Rank skills. These were truly powerful and truly valuable skills.
However, these were not available for just anyone to purchase.
Even if he wanted to, he could only unlock the preview of skills until A rank. After that, the system itself would not reveal anything. It did not matter if one had the resources or not.
One needed to meet some special requirements, and low-tier realm inhabitants like this human would never be able to access these skills.<.com>
So no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to truly harm or make a dent in the shop’s balance sheet. As for the small loss that he was going to incur, he would find other ways to make up for it.
Ignoring whatever Liam was doing, Aron already started calculating how he would make up for everything.
On the other hand, Liam chuckled inwardly. He knew exactly what the fairy was thinking and why he probably agreed so quickly.
However, he couldn’t care less about it. At the moment, he had other things that needed his attention immediately.
So he did not waste his time any longer and quickly walked off to a counter and started browsing through the skills and items as fast as he could.
He already had in mind what he needed the most right now, but he had to find the best skill in that category which was going to take some time.
Skills in the magic shop ranged from rank F to rank A, and among these were both common and uncommon skills.
Skills like [Fireball], [Ice Spear], [Lightning Bolt], and [Sword Slash] were all listed as common skills of rank D while his [Inspect] skill came under uncommon rank D.
The main difference between common and uncommon skills is in the ability to learn these skills.
While the common skills could most often be picked up by a person on their own with sufficient guidance and practice, the uncommon skills were almost impossible to be learned in such a fashion.
The one Liam was searching for was also ‘uncommon’ of sorts. To be more specific, he was currently cheating. He was searching for answers with the question paper in his hand.
He needed the skill to counteract the exact weakness he faced when fighting against the vampire lord.
He had no idea where these vampires suddenly came from, but he knew that he needed to take care of them as soon as possible before they became a problem that was too big for him to handle.
A few minutes later, while Liam continued to browse the catalog hurriedly, Aron casually walked over next to him and stood on the side in silence.
The fairy looked quite gleeful for someone who was going to take a huge loss. ‘Browse all you want, you fool! You will only find cheap skills!’ He sneered in contempt.
Naturally, Liam did not miss this brimming, overflowing happiness from the cunning being. What was it now? He thought about it for a couple of seconds and then continued browsing.please visit ??e????n?ѵ??.co?.
Soon, he came across something strange. There was a new tab that said <Class Specific Skills>
