Witcher: I Can Extract Everything Chapter 42

Chapter 42 - Purchase

The female Apprentice looked at the message on the notebook and said, “Your materials are 28 Nettles, 68 Rootless Fruits, 18 Shrieking Fruits, and 6 Necromancy Flowers… Please check the number.”

Heath nodded and said, “Yes.”

He roughly remembered that there were so many of them, and the Magnus family wouldn’t lie about it.

The female Apprentice continued, “Take a look at the price list of these materials. If there are no problems, we will settle with you according to this price.”

She handed over a price list.

Heath glanced at it. It was a little cheaper than the flea merchants outside.

However, it was common for those flea merchants outside to be lacking in weight. If it was not necessary, it was better to forget about trading with them.

Heath nodded. “Sure.”

The female Apprentice took out a pen and paper and quickly calculated in the blank space. Then, she reported a number. “The total price of this batch of materials is 29,998 Magic Stones. If you accept it, I will bring you to settle the account.”

Heath was speechless. Damn it, would it kill them to give two more Magic Stones to make up the whole number!?

He said, “Sure.”

Coming out of the purchasing station, a small brown cloth bag appeared in Heath’s hand. This was a special Magic Stone bag. It had the function of space folding, and it could also violate one of the iron laws of space Wizard tools —

Space tools had two iron laws. One was that it could not put living things, and the other was that it could not be put into another space tool.

However, there were some special space tools that could be an exception. The Magic Stone bag in front of him was one of them. It had the function of space folding, but it could still be put into other space tools.

Of course, the price he had to pay was that this kind of Wizard tool could only hold Magic Stones.

Standing in front of the purchasing station, Heath held the spatial pocket in his hand and shook it, his face full of smiles.

30,000 Magic Stones, together with the Magic Stones he had accumulated previously, the number of Magic Stones in the spatial pocket had reached more than 38,000!

To an Apprentice, this was definitely a huge amount of wealth.

It must be known that an ordinary Apprentice could not earn hundreds of Magic Stones a month. After deducting the cultivation resources, it was already amazing that they could save up to three to five thousand magic stones a year.

Take Heath and his fellow Apprentices for example. Basically, they were still living the life of a clan. After working hard every month to deduct the cultivation resources, there was nothing left. Let alone 30,000 Magic Stones, they might not even be able to take out 300 Magic Stones.

“You reap what you sow. The ancients are not lying to me!” Heath could not help but say a proverb from his hometown.

Although he earned a lot, he also paid a lot.

During the eight to nine months in the Shadow Tower, he would go out to hunt before dawn every morning. He would go out for three to five days. It was common for him to live outdoors.

When other people were hanging out with other female Apprentices, he was fighting with demonized creatures.

When other people were having a good time and falling asleep, he was still sleeping in the open, looking for materials.

When other people were guarding the land in front of him, he was still searching for resources all over the world.

No matter if it was windy or rainy, he never stopped.

Of course, it had something to do with cheat goldfinger, but the root of his strength was that he was very strong.

Those cheating methods only made him stronger…

‘The road to becoming a Wizard is far from easy,’ Heath reminded himself in his heart.

Then, he put away the Magic Stone bag and continued to walk toward the market. This time, he was heading toward the West Market.

Soon, Heath arrived at the trading area.

This was probably the most crowded area in the market. On both sides of the narrow street, there were many small houses with unique designs. They were filled with a variety of goods. Some simply spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and placed the goods on it.

All kinds of bargaining voices rose and fell.

“You actually want to charge me 10 Magic Stones for a magic herb? You’re even more greedy than those bandits in the Shadow Tower!”

“If you don’t want it, then go away. Don’t block my business!”

“I found this in the ruins. I almost lost my life.”

“But it’s broken…”

After looking around, Heath walked into a small house in the shape of a mushroom. It seemed to have been built by emptying a giant mushroom.

This was a materials store. The shelves were filled with all kinds of materials.

Seeing that a customer had come, the fat store owner hurriedly came up to welcome him. “Sir, do you need any help?”

Heath said, “I’m just looking around.”

Then, he walked to the shelf, picked up a Magic Spirit Grass, and silently thought, ‘Extract.’

[Beep. Extraction failed.]

Heath frowned. As expected, it still didn’t work…

In fact, when he was hunting demonized beasts in the Forgotten Land, Heath had tried to go to the market to extract the demonized beasts killed by others, but the effect was not very good. Although he could extract them, the probability was very small, and the extracted attributes were not many.

After repeated experiments, he found that it was probably because of the activity.

The extraction function of the system was closely related to the activity of the material. The fresher the material, the easier it was to extract the attributes. On the other hand, even if he collected and killed it himself, he would not be able to extract it after a period of time.

Of course, this was only limited to the active substances. No matter how long the dead things like books, spell models, and Wizard tools were stored, as long as the contents were not damaged, they could be extracted.

Heath continued to ask, “How much is this magic herb?”

The magic herb happened to be the material that Heath needed for his alchemy notes.

The shop owner said, “Ten Magic Stones, Sir.”

Heath said, “That’s too expensive. The most expensive magic herb is usually no more than eight Magic Stones.”

The shop owner said with a smile, “The quality is different, Sir. The magic herbs I have here are all of the best quality. The medicinal properties are very rich. Whether you are experimenting or concocting potions, you can increase the success rate.”

“Using exquisite materials to exchange for exquisite potions, the investment of one or two Magic Stones is nothing, isn’t it?”

In his heart, Heath still agreed with the shop owner’s words. The materials here were indeed very good.

However, he did not show it on the surface. Instead, he bargained and said, “Only one magic herb. Of course, no one will care about it. But I still need many other materials. If each of them is expensive, the difference in price will be too great.”

The shop owner frowned and quickly asked, “What else do you need? You need a lot. I can give you a discount.”

Heath immediately bought more than a dozen materials on the shelf. The total price was about 300 Magic Stones. In the end, the shop owner gave a discount of 30 Magic Stones.

“I’ll look at the others.”

“I’m at your service at any time.”

After shopping, Heath did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued to act as if he was shopping for goods. He picked up the items on the shelves one by one and tried to extract them.

[Beep, extraction failed.]

[Beep, extraction failed.]

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.001.”

Although most of the extractions ended in failure, there were occasionally one or two successful extractions.

Even if it was not much, a grasshopper was still meat, so it was fine if it could be extracted a little.

During this period of time, as his strength continued to increase and the number of new species continued to decrease, the attributes that Heath could extract became less and less.

If it was other customers who picked up the items one by one without buying them, the shop owner would have long lost his temper. However, Heath had just bought something here, so the shop owner naturally could not say anything.

Heath continued to pick up the items one by one, looking for possible attributes.

Just as he was about to finish picking up the items on the shelf, he suddenly saw an item on the shelf.

It seemed to be an octagonal crown made of silver metal with fine inlay holes. It was obviously filled with gemstones before.

However, the gemstones were gone now, leaving only an empty metal indent. The metal was covered with mottled rust, which made it look tattered.

It was difficult for a tattered piece not to attract attention on the shelf.

Heath picked it up subconsciously. As he looked at it, he asked curiously, “What is this?”

The shop owner said, “I found it in a ruin of the Higrama Dynasty. It used to be a Wizard tool and it has solidified more than one spell. If you want it, 200 Magic Stones.”

Higrama was a country where humans and Wizards coexisted more than a thousand years ago in the Old Land.

“Don’t think it’s expensive. Although it’s broken, it’s still very memorable. After all, its original owner might be a king of the Higrama Dynasty. You won’t lose anything by buying it. What do you think?”

Heath held the crown and thought to himself, ‘Extraction.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Wizard Blueprint, Dazzling.]

Heath’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect to really extract something!
