Michael looked at the low-level sorcerer's stone in his hand, and a beautiful future appeared in his mind.
"Have you fantasized enough?" A discordant voice rang out. The little bat swayed beside Michael, its little face filled with disdain.
Michael nodded.
"Then I shall continue to introduce the function of this vault?" Little Bat continued.
"This treasury can be used to invest in others. Everything that was placed inside could be taken out and used for investment. Every time I invest in someone else, I get a different level of return."
"The investment level is divided into five different ranks: N, R, SR, SSR, and SP. The rewards for each level also differ.
"An investment requires the investor to meet certain requirements. Not everyone can invest.
"The system will give a corresponding prompt when it senses a potential investor.
"The return on investment is also related to the item invested. If the value of the item invested is too low, it will be considered an invalid investment, and there will be no return on investment."
The system seemed to have noticed Michael's expression. "Tsk."
Michael was just thinking of casually investing in a random piece of junk. Anyway, as long as the return exceeded the investment, he would make a profit. With this treasury space, asking for the other party's consent was unnecessary. He could directly buy and sell by force and become the richest man on the Tyre continent.
"Be a human." Little Bat seemed even more speechless. "This is the first time I've seen someone like you."
"This is also the first time I've seen a demon spirit like you. You talk too much." Michael looked around at the students who were in class.
"How do you judge who can invest?" Michael asked Little Bat in his mind.
"Luck value and the possibility of returns. To put it simply, he's the son of luck." Little Bat rolled her eyes.
You might as well just say that you can guess.
What kind of demon spirit is this? Can I get a refund? Michael said gloomily. This demon spirit didn't look reliable at all.
"This devil spirit does not do refunds or exchanges."
"Don't force me to rip off your wings." Michael reached out and grabbed the little bat.
As expected, this demon spirit was disguised as a small animal that every student in the magic world brought with them at the beginning of school.
"Let me go." Little Bat struggled. "I'll give you permission to check their information, okay?"
"Information check activated. You can now check the status and attributes of the items and characters in the surrounding environment." Little Bat spat out a small ball of light, and as the light entered Michael's eyes, attribute text suddenly appeared on the characters around him.
That was more like it. Michael wrote this book, and he was very familiar with most of the characters. He knew very well which one to invest in. However, the book only described the main characters in detail. Most of the passersby did not mention them.
Moreover, many of the environments were unfamiliar to him. It would be much easier if he could check them directly.
Michael let go of the little bat and began to check on the students around him.
There were four cauldrons in the small basement. Two other students were refining medicine together besides him and his teacher.
Michael first looked at the teacher. The old man was wearing a dark purple robe and had a long white beard. He was stirring his cauldron.
Attributes appeared above his head.
[Mr. Jones, Advanced Mage. You have not met the investment requirements. Please continue to work hard.]
Then, Michael turned around and looked at the two students beside him, save for one not-very-talented student.
He looked at the last student.
He had already finished refining his medicine and began to pack his things.
[Mr. Royce, a beginner mage apprentice. You can invest.] The little bat suddenly discovered something and cried out excitedly.
"Mr. Royce?"
Michael thought about it carefully. There was no such person in his book. It seemed to be a minor character.
However, from his current memories, this Mr. Royce seemed to be his childhood playmate and a classmate who joined the sect with him. They seemed to have a very good relationship.
Mr. Royce was a young man who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. He was wearing a linen robe and packing his things. His spirit pet, the little owl, was standing on his shoulder.
Although they had both taken on masters simultaneously, Mr. Royce's talent was clearly not as good as his. Moreover, he was more playful, so his strength only improved slowly. He had almost failed several of his sect's tests, and it was only with Michael's help that he could avoid being thrown into the Dark Forest. It could be said that the two of them were practically good brothers.
Coming back to his senses, Michael had already decided to be the first to invest in him.
Since they were good brothers, they naturally had to help each other.
After understanding this, Michael asked the system what the reward for investing was.
[Invest one low-level magic stone, and you can upgrade to a Tier 3 mage trainer.] Little Bat said, "Not bad, right?"
The levels of the Magic World, from low to high, were: Beginner Apprentice, Intermediate Apprentice, Advanced Apprentice, Beginner Mage, Tier 1 Mage, Tier 2 Mage, Tier 3 Mage, Tier 4 Mage, Tier 5 Mage, Tier 6 Mage, Tier 7 Mage, Tier 9 Mage, Beginner Sorcerer, Intermediate Sorcerer, Advanced Sorcerer.
Michael was currently a Beginner Apprentice. If he were to become a Tier 3 Mage, he would be able to level up by several levels. Compared to this, the small sorcerer's stone seemed to be nothing.
After all, the Sorcerer's Stone could only upgrade his staff. Although with his talent, he might be able to upgrade it to a higher level staff.
However, once he became a mage, it would be different. Not only would his demonic palm be upgraded on the spot, but even the success rate of refining medicine would increase several times. Perhaps he could even refine a few low-level magic stones by himself.
"Hey?" Michael called out in a low voice, "I have something good for you."
Mr. Royce turned around in confusion. "What are you doing? I'm almost done packing. I still have to rush to send a letter to my sister later." He pointed at the letter at the owl's feet.
It was said that one could wear a more beautiful robe after leveling up to a mage, and their magic power would also increase greatly. If he passed the test, he would be promoted from a beginner apprentice to an intermediate apprentice. In the future, he would no longer have to do the hard work of collecting herbs and other raw materials.
At this moment, Mr. Royce seemed to have been marked. The word "Invest" flashed above his head.
"Hehe, look at this." Michael took out a low-level sorcerer's stone and waved it in front of his eyes.
"The Sorcerer's Stone!" Mr. Royce's eyes lit up. He looked around and whispered, "You didn't steal it, did you?"
"Michael. It's a great crime to be found out about stealing the Sorcerer's Stone." Mr. Royce frowned and continued, "If we are discovered, we will be thrown into the Dark Forest."
