Chereads / The Cursed Guardian / Chapter 22 - Store (2)

Chapter 22 - Store (2)

"——1 kg fox meat, rises 0.1 in  all physical status, upper limit 5 kg....., Great Wolf 1 kg, rises 1 in all states, the upper limit is 1kg..."As I muttered that, I thought,{This is what we have been looking for, this is how we can get stronger, it's been three years since the world changed, and monster and their problems, is gradually becoming bigger and bigger, but mankind's strength was fixed a long time ago, at least when talking about individual force, we stop growing when our all status reached E(15), its very rare where you will find someone reaching E(16), and that 1 plus came only after an overwhelming hard work, or it was the effect of a unique skill}

"Wow, no wonder there are pricy, but don't you think this wolf meat's price is too much, that is the same price level 5 potion is being sold at, and you should know that it had the effect of +5 in all status"

"Then you should know, that all those potions can not  make you grow above E(15), while this ingredient can, and even when they lose their bonus effect, you can use them to train your body, to other heights, as long as you can endure and have enough point, you can grow stronger", Leo said in a polite tone, while wearing a small smile on his face

"Hmm, what you said is reasonable, but I doubt many will be able to buy ingredients of that calibre", I said as I thought,{not many would be able to gather millions of points}

"About that you shouldn't worry, to begin with, I was not really that obsessed with points, although I want them, I can use others"

"Money?", I said as I felt my heartbeat becoming faster,{If that is the case then I can buy a lot of things}, thinking of that a grin couldn't help but surface on my face, but soon disappeared.

"No, what the heck would I do with money" After, hearing this I was very disappointed, and as if he saw through me, he smirked and  said, "Instead I would like to trade"

"Trade? What kind of trade, are you talking about", I said as I looked at Leo

"I am now in need of a lot of food, the normal one, so I would like to trade my store ingredient with Earth's"

"That's a very good thing to hear, since the expansion of the earth it has become easier to produce food, so I doubt there will be a shortage of food even if you order the same size of ingredient,  earth had been able to produce three years ago, but how is that going to work?", my disappointed was gone,{This is better than using money}

"Let me give you an example, 1 small fish that is priced 2 points,  for 1 ton of fish from you"

"Khugh", I couldn't help but wince when I saw, the overwhelming difference even though, I knew that it was very reasonable, looking at its benefits,{even if you ate 1000T of fish it wouldn't raise your strength, but even just one of those can do this, so it's very reasonable, even though it looks unequal on the surface}

"What?, do you feel I made it very pricy?"

"No, no I was just slightly surprised, pardon me"

"Is that so, good then, so what would you like to buy, you should know I can only open this store for an hour every day, so hurry up"

"The same time every day?"

"I am not sure, every day, but at least for this week it will be just like today"

"Is that so? Then please give me 30 small fish for the time being, until tomorrow", as I said that, a box suddenly appeared in Leo's hand, "there is it",{that was fast}, I thought as I took the box from his hand, "how do I pay?"

"You only need to think of transferring the points, but today you Don't need to, you only need to sign this contract, and in exchange, you can take a hundred thousand points worth of goods", Leo said as he swung his hand on the air, were a magical contract was drawn, then he put it in the desktop.

{This sounds fishy, nothing is free in this world}, I thought as I cautiously took the contract and then read it.

"......, and here I thought why you look very familiar, don't worry I agree, I can also understand your caution, but one thing I want to ask, how the hell are you still alive, sir Leo", I said as I saluted to the great man in front of me, "it feels to me that you hadn't grown at all compare to three years ago, you even become more handsome than before, what happened", I asked a question after another, without stopping, without realizing, " Ah I am sorry I talked too much.", as I said that I scratch the back of my head in embarrassment,{well I couldn't stop myself, it's not an everyday thing when you see, your role model, someone you look up to}

Leo didn't seem to mind, still having the easy-going vibe, he said" Sorry I can't answer all your questions,  and even those who I will answer will wait until tomorrow when you complete the content of the contract"

"No, it's okay don't worry about that, I will fulfil my arrangements with you and come tomorrow, ah by the way, tomorrow I will come with some of my colleagues do you mind that"

"This is a store, I am pleased to see more customers of course, so yeah bring as much as you want", Leo said as he took the signed contract from my hand, then said, "Just so you know, I know that you will not go against it, but just to inform you, this is not an ordinary contract, the moment you go against it you will face an end worst than a dog death, so be careful of your actions "

Hearing that I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, even though I knew he wasn't trying to Threaten me, "I-I will remember that"

Walking John, outside I said to him, "Then see you tomorrow"

"Yes, mister Leo,  then please excuse me", as he said that he held the box of goods he took from me, then ran quickly because it was still raining outside.

Looking at his disappearing back, I put my arm forward trying to touch the rain, but my hand as expected couldn't move ahead,  as If some barriers stopping it from moving any further from the gate frame.

"As expected I can't enter Earth like this, even though John could", I said with a wry smile adorning my face, as I closed the gate.

"But to think a whole three years had passed, when I was only three months away from the earth" When the gate closed, I vanished then immediately appeared, beside the desktop."1 month in the world where I got Eden, is equal 1 year on earth, so three months to three years, fortunately, there is no time difference between Earth Time and Terra's because of their relation", sitting on the chair while leaning back with my arm behind my back, I waited for the next customer, as there is still 10 min before the 1-hour time limit.

Earth is a world with various names, like Gaia, Blue Star,...., one of its name is the same as the world where Leo is now Terra, this show how close the relation between these two worlds is.

names after all are very important to world-level existences that possess a will,  the name can sometimes even represent how weak or strong a world is, we are only talking here about the world itself, not its inhabitants, but laws and rules's strength.

The close relationship between these two existences, appears in their almost overlapping basis internal structure, having everything that can make life on both planets safe for both side's inhabitants, be it human animals, or other races.

Even before this universal or multiversal crisis of stars' collision, Terra and Earth were connected, by some cracks in the fabric of the reality on Earth, that allowed a one-way trip to Terra since ancient times, this was also the reason why the existence of mankind is in Terra, as some humans from time to time even other creatures on earth are being sent through these gaps, those existence are called in Terra by the names drifters, travellers or evolution makers.

A door closing sound rang, through the store representing, the end of work time for the day, "Sigh so only one came today it seems I put the door in a bad location, hiss one whole million points for one hour is too much even for me now, if I don't earn a lot in the next coming days I would only be able to use this store authority for a week at most", as I muttered to myself I went through the black gate that was leading to my Dungeon," hopefully I will earn more tomorrow"
