Chereads / Ascent of Chaos / Chapter 18 - 18.Thieves

Chapter 18 - 18.Thieves

Meanwhile, Jaden walked across the Freegray kingdom's land. He'd only met two other players who had passed through Greenhorn Village, but Jaden ignored them as if they didn't exist. They couldn't recognize him as the defying player with enough money to build a small city in the real world.

They could tell right away that Jaden was no ordinary being based on their player instincts. Some speculated that he was the son of anyone who had seen the game's blueprints.

Some openly referred to Jaden as a cheater and schemer because he possessed a map of all the cities and villages in Myriad Realm.

Jaden, on the other hand, was oblivious to these and thus continued his quest for power; wealth was no longer an issue because he already had enough money to start an empire.

Jaden went into a shop to sell the items he no longer needed. He also went to the shop to determine the worth of the wooden box Sarai had given him.

When Jaden arrived at this location, he first sold the beast crystals, which were only worth 10 gold coins. Jaden later sold everything he didn't want, including the crude grade sword and, finally, the object in the wooden box.

"Is this a golden mana petal? The golden mana petal!"

The shop owner's eyes widen with surprise, as if he's just entered a forest full of valuables that he won't be able to extract completely for a year.

"What exactly is a golden mana petal?" Jaden inquired. The seller's expression surprised me.

"You are unaware of this treasure. It's the fabled golden Mana petal. Even if it is not extracted, this mana petal can still return mana and even increase your mana points. If processed, this item can be used to create at least 1000 Lv10 Mana portions. However, we will require a level 30 alchemist to refine it" Jaden was explained to by the man.

"Oh, it's that pricey?" Jaden was taken aback because the system didn't even provide an explanation for the box, only for him to discover it was more than he had anticipated.

For some reason, Jaden began to feel guilty inside his heart for receiving it from that little female NPC, Sarai.

"Unfortunately, even if I save for ten years, I will not be able to afford this. When he considered the price" the seller's calmness crumbled.

"How much is it?" Jaden inquired.

"Five Royal tokens!" The man responded almost immediately, passing the box to Jaden with a sad expression on his face.

5 Royal tokens? —The five royal tokens are far too large for this shop owner, as two royal tokens are worth 5000 platinum and 500,000 gold coins.

As he walked out of the shop, Jaden pondered this. "I could give it to the Duke to refine, or I could use my second class to become an alchemist. If I decide to start my own guild, it will be worthwhile."

One player and two NPCs rushed past Jaden at that precise moment. Their agility was excellent, and they evaded Jaden's scrutiny.

'Those guys are thieves. 'I'm curious about their mission and why they're fleeing,' Jaden pondered. However, his intuition was confirmed when he noticed three soldiers pursuing them.

"Those thieves have stolen our master's scepter. Can you assist us in retrieving that, young adventurer? We promise to introduce you to our master"

"All right," Jaden said, shrugging his shoulders. The soldiers cheered and wished Jaden luck on his mission.

Jaden summoned GPS right away, this time without using Chaos points because he had already purchased it. Mana is the only thing required here.

Jaden began walking down there after learning their location. However, he noticed a noble lady inside her carriage, searching outside for something that didn't appear to exist.

"Can you help me in locating my guards and valuables, including my pet, a white cat? When I get home from my cousin's house, I can't find them. My guards have probably taken them, or they've been kidnapped or something. Please assist me in completing this mission. My cat is extremely valuable. If you succeed, I'll give you a royal token as a reward" The noble lady spoke to Jaden, causing another mission to be launched.

"All right," Jaden replied.

Jaden began racing towards the direction of the thieves. For the time being, his primary mission was to apprehend the thieves. This was the simplest and closest mission to him. In addition, the deadline was short.

Other missions Jaden has completed have primarily taken place in the forest, but this mission took place within the kingdom and in a moderately populated area.
