Chapter 12 - CHAPTER 12 HARDCORE ITEM GRIND

As the gate was being opened by Hugo, Zae,Kiri and Noto's eyes were filled with amazement and wonder.

What they saw inside was a deposit full of rainbow coloured crystals sparkling insanely, anyone who sees this would surely pause to make sense of its beauty and value and so did the three so of them.

"Are these high class crystals right there?"

Noto with a surprised and shocked face

"No master, these are origin crystals, only when you refine them through a monster's body it will turn into a high class crystal and also some part of it will become materials for making various things."

Hugo replies as he sees them being surprised and shocked which pleased him very much, he was also glad inside that his masters were not just some greedy bunch who would directly attack the deposit.

"What do you mean refine it through a monster's body?"

Noto asks curiously while looking at Hugo

"Usually when a monster reaches level 100, they require origin crystal to evolve further, even origin crystals have classes and the higher the class the higher the level of a monster should be to be able to refine it."

Hugo replies with a smile.

"Then, you don't mean these origin crystals are of the highest class?"

Noto with a shocked face. Zae and Kiri's face changed aswell upon hearing what Hugo had said

"Yes master Noto, as i said there are various origin caves and each of them have their own contents different from others, in some occasions the crystal vein grows upto a point where the monsters can sense them and once they attain just even a bit amount of it, they start to evolve, its just like humans getting themselves domains after reaching a certain level"

Hugo explains about the ways in which the crystal works very precisely and made sure he did not leave any details behind and Zae,Kiri and Noto listened to him very carefully.

Other people would have been bored by this stupidly long explanation but the three of them were all curious learners and if they were interested in something, they would surely learn it

"The veins here a especially better in quality than others because this vein here has never been touched by any monsters or humans or any other races, so the masters can benefit the most from it"

Hugo adds with a sincere face.

"What do you mean better quality?"

Zae asks

"Since, no monster has ever taken a part from this vein, the purity of this vein is very high and they materials obtained from it will be of very high quality aswell, but for masters to refine it you'd still need a monster to eat it then you'll have to kill the monster to attain the items back."

Hugo replies as they start walking into the gates and into the origin crystal vein. It ran deep into the gate, the walls of the gate was reinforced with magic which made the crystal vein grow only within the chamber.

"But doesn't that mean the crystal will lose its purity aswell?"

Noto adds

"Yes master but as far as I have known, no other methods have been successful at refining origin crystals, be it the lowest class of origin crystals"

Hugo replies with a serious and disappointed face.

He was quite disappointed in himself because he thought that he wasn't helping his masters at all

"Hey now, don't give me that look! without you we wouldn't have even found this place"

Zae looks at Hugo and smiles. The two other follows right after.

"If thats what master feels then I am very thankful"

Hugo slightly bows

Right after this, Noto starts running towards the crystals in a very excited way

"Zan, stop!What are you trying to do?"

Zae asks curiously as he sees Noto suddenly dash away

"Come here guys, i wanted to see what the system had to say about it so i used appraisal on them. Here have a look"

SFX:swipe

(Appraised object: Origin crystal

Class: high class 1st rank

The crystal made from the the origin element known as God particles. These crystals are extremely crude and rare. If you even find a small piece of this crystal you will become rich overnight)

"That's some detailed description right there....."

Zae looks and comments on the appraised notification

"Oh right Noto, you had a refinement skill right why don't you try it?"

Kiri asks

"I tried it already it doesn't work, Hugo was right it can't be refined easily"

Noto sighs and replies

Then suddenly a notification pops up

"What? this system can teach us skills aswell?"

Kiri says with a shocked expression. While Hugo steps away from them and walks away towards the entrance with a smile and sense of relief

"Noto learn it"

Zae proposes

"Eh? why? I only have 3K credits, what if in the future I am in deseprate need of credits?"

Noto with a reluctant tone

"Don't worry, just learn it. It won't be useless"

Zae adds with a smile

"Am I the only one who has credits?"

Noto with a smart face

"If you want it so bad why don't you learn it and refine for us?"

Noto adds

"If i learn it, you won't know how to use it but if you learn it, even i can use it so its a win-win situation isn't it. Fast learn it now"

Zae keeps on pressure to let Noto learn origin refining

Noto sighs

"Ahh! Ok i will learn it but all your mana potions you get in the future are mine"

Noto replies

"What? all of them? thats unfair"

Zae with a reluctant face

"Then I won't learn it"

Noto adds

"Why drag me into this? If you want you can take all of Zae's not mine"

Kiri adds

"Snipe you betrayer!!!!"

Zae looks at Kiri with a cold face

"Whatever!"

Kiri walks away slowly aswell

"alright alright I'll give you all the mana potions i get in the future now learn the skill"

Zae with a reluctant expression giving up the arguement to Noto

"Geheehe.. alright lets learn it then ... "

Noto pauses for a bit

"How do i learn it again?"

Noto adds with a question mark on his face

Zae trips

"Figure it out yourself!"

Zae shouts as he turns his head away and says

"Show credits"

( Credits remaining:7400 )

Zae's credits show up

"What? I have 7K crystals"

Zae in a shocked position even Noto was shocked to see that and Kiri who was walking away suddenly appears behind Zae using shadow steps to see if he was telling the truth

"Your luck is insane even in this world"

Kiri comes behind Zae out of nowhere startling Zae

"If you just has this much luck with girls!"

Kiri sighs

"Hey! don't get to that topic now"

Zae pouts

"Say, how much is your credits Snipe?"

Zae quickly tries to change topic and surprisingly he was succesful

"Show credits"

Kiri calmly chants the words

(Credits remaining:27)

"Pppfffttt... hahahahahahahhahahah"

Zae bursts into laughter as Kiri had a degenerate and depressed expresion

"You're luck maybe good with girls but compared to mine its shit... ahahhaha"

Zae adds while laughing

"Enough with that! how do I learn the Origin refining"

Noto shouts at Kiri and Zae

"Wowo calm down Zan"

Zae quickly catches his position after laughing and tries to calm Noto

(Would the user like to learn 'Origin refining'?

YES or No)

"Oh it popped out!!"

Noto exclaims

A portion of light fell into Noto while his eyes were closed as if he was receiving a blessing from the gods.

Noto with an excited tone

"Now time to refine"

Noto adds

"Here take it"

Zae tosses an icon of blue bottles which was obviously mana potions towards Noto giving it to him as agreed

"You can have mine aswell I don't need it for now"

Kiri also gives his mana potions to Noto

"Thanks guys, Now ill start refining it, lets see what we can get"

Noto moves towards the crystal and activates the skill

#Origin refining

Noto uses the skill and beams of light suddenly started to get shot out from a small part of the origin crystal and almost blinded everyone nearby due to its brilliance.

Even Noto who was casting it was forced to take a step back and cover his eyes with his hands inorder to protect himself from the light.

SFX:ching

The light slowly started to fade away and what Kiri and Zae saw was Noto standing there nearly about to faint and no sign of the crystal changing

Zae thought seriously as he rushed towards Noto to support him

"Did it fail?"

Zae asks Noto as he grabs him by the arm to support him

"It was a success, I'm just out of mana. It took me 15000 mana just to refine 3 high class crystals"

Noto replies

The three small bead sized crystals were there lying on the ground with sparkling presence. Along with some other substance near it

"Quick take the mana potion"

Zae holds him as Noto uses the mana potion to recover his mana

"I appraised the other materials, the three shinning beads are high class crystals and the rest of them are materials the appraisal says this have a look"

Noto releases Zae's support as he opens his appraisal window and swipes it across to show Zae and Kiri the details of the other materials obtained

"Wow what the heck? these items seems godly ,i wouldn't have believed it existed if i didnt see them myself today"

Zae with a very very very shocked expression

"It seems we are going to get more OP as of now"

Kiri adds with a shocked face aswell

"It take my all my mana just to refine this small amount, and I only have 13 mana potions with me so i can do it only 13 more times for today"

Noto adds with a hesitant voice as he sees the greedy smile on Zae and Kiri's face.

"Its more than enough"

Zae replies with a smile

"Well now, do I continue?"

Noto asks

"Yes you continue refining them, snipe and I will try completing more missions to try and gain mana potions"

Zae replies

"You two are going out to farm?"

Noto asks again

"Yes,we decided a while ago when you were busy refining"

Kiri replies

"Don't worry Hugo is here you won't feel lonely and you'll get free experience points aswell gehe"

Zae adds with a big smile on his face.

" Alright then do your best out there you two don't die on me"

Noto with an emotional face

"Don't worry we'll just figure out how to get more mana potions and return here as soon as we get our lead on that"

Zae replies with a smile while waving his hands to say bye

"Hugo protect him for us will ya?"

Zae looks at Hugo while going out and asks him to protect Noto in their absence

"Sure master, that is my job. Well then have a safe trip"

Hugo sends them off with a smile as Noto looks at them from behind

Noto while cheering himself up

"Ok then see ya Noto , Hugo"

#Shadow step

"See ya"

#shadow step

Kiri and Zae vanishes away using shadow steps towards where they had just came in.
