The old dwarf regained his consciousness and pulled out a bag like presenting a treasure. He said, "Master, these are the fluorescent stones and other materials that I got these days. I spent a total of 15 black crystal coins."
There were about a dozen materials in the bag. There were 5 or 6 fluorescent stones with different quality. However, a medium quality fluorescent stone in the magic store also cost 10 black crystal coins. It seemed that it was still more cost-effective.
"You did a very good job. Don't worry about other things at this stage. Focus on getting magic materials, mainly fluorescent stones. The more the better. As for money, don't worry about it. I'll find a way."
The old dwarf was praised by his master in front of Jesse. He looked happy and said, "It's like this, master. Fluorescent stone is a relatively rare material. The origin is in the Shadow Empire, so the merchants don't have much stock. However, I received a message that a merchant named Silva has a batch of stock, but the price is very high. 18 black crystal coins for a piece of high quality; 9 black crystal coins for a piece of medium quality; 2 black crystal coins for a piece of low quality. If you want to buy all of this batch of goods, it will probably cost 600 to 700 black crystal coins. "
Chen Rui just won 750 black crystal coins, plus the bonus of 10, he had a total of 760 which was just enough to buy this batch of fluorescent stones. 10 days ago, he still had 35,000 auras, but now there were only 3,000 left. It was not enough for the training ground's consumption. Besides, he needed a lot of auras to fight Reka 20 days later. The old dwarf's news came at the right time.
"I know Silva." The dark elf suddenly said, "This guy is very insidious. He still has a lot of men under him. If you deal directly, you will be swallowed up without leaving any bones."
The old goblin nodded, "Sir Jesse is right. Silva doesn't have a good reputation, but he is very strong. In fact, the unpopular fluorescent stone business is just a cover for him. It is said that he is secretly doing some shady business."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and asked Jesse, "Who are the powerful characters under Silva?"
"The most powerful centaur is a centaur named Grau. He has reached the later stage of Intermediate Demon, but his strength is far from Reka's. There are many other Intermediate Demons. If you give me 30 black crystal coins, I will accompany you on this trip."
It was too expensive! Thirty black crystal coins! It was equivalent to three thousand Purple Crystal Coins! The old goblin almost jumped up. If the money was given to him and his daughter, it would be enough for them to live for three years. He didn't expect his master, Aguile, to agree without thinking, "Okay! It's a deal. "
Chen Rui could still afford 30 black crystal coins now. The need for aura was imminent. This trip could only be successful; failure was not an option.
"How long will it take for you to recover?" Chen Rui asked Jesse. When he saw the dark elf raise a finger, he nodded and said, "Didi, I will come to the Cloak Gang in the morning the day after tomorrow. At that time, contact Silva and tell him that I want all the fluorescent stones. You can decide the price."
Didi hurriedly agreed. Chen Rui did not stay any longer and directly returned to the laboratory. During this time, due to the orders of the Princess Royal, he was not questioned by the palace guards along the way. Similarly, Aldas, who knew about the two-month test, also expressed his maximum support. In fact, the dark elf master didn't know that he had been fooled by someone to "challenge the grand master". He just hoped that the "inheritance" this time could bring a surprise in terms of potions.
When Chen Rui recovered his secretary identity, he activated the "Breath Holding" characteristic. In the eyes of others, he was still the powerless human.
He asked Kegu to send a message to Paglio to say that he was safe so that the poison dragon wouldn't worry. During this time, Kegu was already familiar with the way back and forth between the blue lake and the laboratory. After the wyvern left, he returned to his room.
During this time, the improvement of his mastery of Star Power and muscle strength control made his Experience Value skyrocket. Of course, the Experience Value was just a numerical display. It didn't mean that he could "level up" when his Experience Value reached 100%. It just showed that his proficiency in his current strength had reached a certain level. The skeleton made of light filaments in the status bar had been completely stabilized. This was the result of his 10 days of special training. To be precise, he had used 5 times the time and 2 times the time once, which was equivalent to more than a month.
This change in the human form not only made Chen Rui's strength reach the middle level of Intermediate Demon, which should be the stable state of Alkaid, but it also greatly enhanced his physical defense ability. Although the fierce battle in the arena today was dangerous and there were many injuries, he actually didn't suffer too serious injuries. It was just external injuries which were much lighter than the battle with Lance last time.
Today, the real mystery that Chen Rui was able to crack Jesse's ultimate move was the [Analytical Eyes]. Among the 5 Jesse's shadows, only 1 had real analytical data, which was the real body. Although the other 4 couldn't be judged by the naked eye or feelings, they couldn't hide from the [Analytical Eyes]. This also brought inspiration to Chen Rui's future battles.
In the status bar, the countless light filaments centered on the white light ball of "Alkaid" did not retract into the "bones" after the "bones" were completely solidified. Instead, they expanded further and concentrated on the bones in a strange way. They were hazy like gauze like pieces of "muscles".
With the experience of the gravity training ground, Chen Rui faintly understood that once these "muscles" became solid like the "bones", the Alkaid state that focused on body training was likely to be successful. If he could really reach the perfect Alkaid state, then undergo a 2-star evolution and break through to the next Mizar state, then it wouldn't be a fantasy to rival Higher Demon.
Practice proved that the gravity rule was the best way to train the body. In the current state, 2 times gravity was not very useful anymore. The next step should be 4 times. However, at 4 times gravity, even without the time rule, it would still take 4,500 auras a day. The materials provided by the old dwarf just now provided a total of 1,500 auras. Together with the original 3,000 auras, it was a total of more than 4,500 auras. It would be better to wait until the day after the transaction with Silva.
His mind and body were too tense these days. Everything should be done in a proper way, otherwise it would be counterproductive. I'll take a break during the day tomorrow, then I'll go to the poison dragon for special training at night.
Chen Rui slept until dawn. He got up to eat something and walked out of the lab. He happened to meet Slee. The imp reported something to him. It turned out that the centaur, Zach, of the "Decapitation" blacksmith shop, happened to get a large batch of waste ores a few days ago. He wanted to find Chen Rui to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Chen Rui was in "retreat" training. The imp was instructed by Aldas, so he didn't dare to disturb the room. Now that he saw his master coming out, he quickly reported.
Although a piece of ore didn't provide much aura, it was still something. Chen Rui was in urgent need of aura now, so he immediately rushed to the blacksmith shop.
Zach deliberately bought a large batch of "waste ores" with crystals. When he was worried that he couldn't use it, he was overjoyed when he saw Chen Rui coming.
"Zach, because Princess Royal gave me a mission, I've been very busy these two months, so I'm late. I'm sorry!"
The human's apology moved Zach, "My friend, you are now the secretary of Dark Moon City. Of course, Princess Royal's mission is more important. Zach is very grateful that you can take the time to help here!"
Chen Rui didn't explain, so he patted Zach's shoulder, "Well, we are friends. You don't have to be so polite. Let's go and see those ores."
Zach immediately brought Chen Rui to the yard. There was a large pile of ores here, about a hundred pieces. The crystals on them were more than what he saw last time. In the eyes of the blacksmith, the ores were basically waste ores, but in the eyes of Chen Rui, there were more auras.
"Chen Rui, there are more ores here …" Zach scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't know if the powder you brought is enough? If it's not enough, I can give you some money to buy from the master. "
The more, the better … Chen Rui said in his heart and shook his head, "Don't worry, it's enough. However, you have to collect all the powder after the crystallization for me so that I can give it to Master Aldas for research."
The centaur naturally agreed to this request. Chen Rui immediately began the work of turning waste into treasure. In Zach's joyful eyes, the annoying crystals on the waste ores magically turned into powder, and the ores were also "resurrected". There were more crystals on these waste ores, which provided more auras. After some work, Chen Rui harvested more than 4,000 auras. The total was close to 9,000 auras.
Chen Rui took the powder that Zach collected and said, "Zach, let me know when you buy ores next time. As long as I can leave, I will come as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much," Zach nodded quickly. "My brother and I can't consume too much ores in a short time. Besides, the situation of the mine has been very bad in recent years. I heard that some bandits even occupied the main pit. These waste ores were stolen from the main pit by the miners who risked their lives."
Chen Rui heard from Jía that the trade route in the west was controlled by bandits, but he didn't expect these guys to extend their hands to the mine. Although a piece of waste ores could only provide dozens of auras, there was a saying that many grains of sand could make a tower. The accumulated waste ores for hundreds of years added up, and the aura that could be provided was definitely a considerable number.
At present, the urgent collection of magic materials such as fluorescent stones was also a last resort. Moreover, the cost was too high, so it was not suitable for long-term development. After passing the test of these two months, he must go to the mine and "dispose" of all those waste ores. This was also a mutually beneficial action of turning waste into treasure.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Chen Rui thought of Alice's newly opened shop. Due to the emergency special training a few days ago, he couldn't attend the opening ceremony. Now that he had some free time, he naturally had to go and take a look.
Walking to the wide street, he could see a huge signboard hanging above the original "weird" shop at the end from afar. There were three glowing magic words: Princess Retail Store.
