Looking at the system, his hope rekindled . He then asked the system, "How many items can I get for free with my reward?"
The system replied, "Only one."
He then asked, "One from each category?"
The system rebuked with its mechanical cold voice, "One from all categories."
He had already made up his mind to pick a cultivation manual. Intrigued by the Void Walker's Grimoire but ultimately more curious about the Elemental Fusion Manual, he decided to pick the latter. He planned to cultivate it first and then buy the Void Walker's Grimoire.
He then asked, "How do I obtain Astral Coins?"
The system replied, "The host can either convert energy stones at the ratio of 1:10, Astral Coins to energy stones, or he could get Astral Coins from doing missions."
He then asks," What about my astral coin from previous mission?"
He then asked, "What about my Astral Coins from the previous mission?"
"Since it was an emergency quest in consideration of the host's situation, no Astral Coins were provided," replied the system.
He sighed but remained undeterred. "System, I want to buy the Elemental Fusion Manual."
"Acknowledged," the system replied. The Elemental Fusion Manual icon in the store greyed out, and simulataneously the shop feature also greyed out. If he wanted to use shop again, he would have to unlock it.
"Do you want to learn the manual now?" the system asked.
"No, I'll learn it at home," he replied.
Cruzer made his way back to his house, the familiar surroundings bringing him a sense of comfort and determination. Once inside, he settled into a comfortable position and addressed the system.
"System, let's begin learning the Elemental Fusion Manual."
The system's voice broke through his concentration. "Beginner level of the Elemental Fusion Manual successfully learned. Host's elemental affinity has been established. Continue practicing and advancing to achieve adept tier control."
As soon as he heard system voice he closed his eyes and focused on the content he learnt just now.
The manual's initial chapters provided a comprehensive overview of elemental control, explaining the basics of manipulating fire, water, earth, wind, and aether. He felt a rush of energy as he absorbed the knowledge, his mind expanding with new possibilities.
As he delved deeper, the manual had process which would guide him through the intricacies of each element.
Hours passed as he immersed himself in the study of the manial that now had been imprinted inside his head.
By the time he finished inspecting the beginner level of the manual, Cruzer felt a profound sense of accomplishment. He had laid the foundation for mastering multiple elements, and the potential for fusing them together excited him beyond measure.
