Chapter 68 Great Harvest
In the early morning, a thin layer of mist lingered outside the window, while the sky overhead was filled with dense clouds, hinting at an impending rainfall.
"The air quality is getting worse and worse. Once I am rich, I definitely need to leave this crappy suburb and rent a nice place in the city."
Eric got up and looked out the window, then stretched his stiff body. He did 20 sets of exercises before heading to the cramped bathroom to wash up.
After getting ready, Eric picked up his phone from the table and started checking how much money was left in his bank account. He knew that eating instant noodles all the time wasn't good for his health, and with his workout routine, he definitely wasn't getting enough nutrition. He had finally gotten a Polaris Reach membership card and vouchers, but he found out that they wouldn't be usable for another five days. This left him a bit frustrated; now he could only hope for the sale of game currency from Divine Realms: Legends.
Previously, he had listed three gold coins on the virtual trading center. If someone bought them, the money would be transferred to his bank account. However, the virtual trading center had a three-hour transfer time, and even if it was transferred, he didn't have account notifications enabled. He had to check his balance using his old-fashioned phone. He couldn't afford the latest intelligent electronic watch. Otherwise, many things could be handled with it, including payments. Nowadays, almost all stores supported smart watch payments, which were quick, safe, and secure.
Shortly thereafter, Eric accessed his bank account using his phone to check the remaining balance of his funds. If he had enough credit points, he would treat himself to a good meal. He remembered the last time he had meat was back in his junior year of college, and now he was about to graduate.
Eric had previously withdrawn all the money from his account to buy instant noodles, so his balance should be less than one credit point.
The game currency had been up for sale all night, so someone should have bought some, especially the guilds in the Silvervale City area. He didn't believe those guilds could raise funds so quickly. Even if they had contracts with gold farming teams or exclusive gold farming teams, it was unlikely they could gather so much gear in such a short time. They would likely consider purchasing some game currency.
"Not bad, quite a few sales. I don't have to worry about food for the next few days," Eric smiled when he saw over 1,700 credit points in his account. However, he frowned at the high transaction fee; selling 30 silver coins for 1,800 credit points resulted in nearly 100 credit points being deducted. That was quite crafty.
However, he was relieved to find that he was no longer in a state of poverty. The amount he had accumulated was more than twice his monthly living expenses, providing him with sufficient means to live comfortably for a while.
If he could sell all three gold coins, that would be 18,000 credit points, enough to buy two virtual helmets. He just didn't know if he could sell them all.
Eric thought that during this period, he had to encourage these guilds and players to spend more in Divine Realms: Legends. Otherwise, they could easily settle these money issues through in-game transactions, and they wouldn't buy high-priced game currency from the virtual center.
Eric then left his rental apartment and went to the bank to withdraw all the money. With some money in hand, he walked to a nutrition center and bought three bottles of Grade C Nutrition Serum, enough for nine days of use.
The beautiful saleswoman was delighted to see Eric buy three bottles without hesitation and said proactively, "Hey man, got time for lunch? My treat. How about we go to Hars Bar for a drink?"
Hars Bar was a well-known dating spot nearby, popular among young men and women. As he gazed upon the saleswoman's elegant physique and coquettish eyes, he couldn't help but notice her superiority over the ostentatious girls in his class.But Eric smiled faintly, knowing her intentions, and politely declined before turning to leave.
The saleswoman regretted it, thinking she had let a big fish slip away. Was she not pretty enough? Was her figure not good enough?
Nutrition serums were a pinnacle product of the new era, not only delaying aging but also subtly healing unnoticed injuries, rejuvenating cells, and developing brain cells. These were essential for athletes and martial artists. However, they were pretty expensive, and ordinary people could only occasionally afford a bottle. Only the wealthy could drink these as beverages, constantly improving their bodies.
A few hundred years ago, wealthy families generally had beautiful daughters and handsome sons, with few ugly girls or douchebags. But in today's era, with nutrition serums, attractiv people were common on the streets.
A bottle of Grade C Nutrition Serum cost 400 credit points.
A bottle of Grade B Nutrition Serum cost 1,000 credit points.
A bottle of Grade A Nutrition Serum cost 10,000 credit points.
The best Grade S Nutrition Serum was something ordinary people couldn't even buy, as it was sold internally.
In his previous life, Eric had the chance to buy Grade S Nutrition Serum because he was a core member of ShadowForge Studios. One bottle was worth a million credit points and extremely expensive, but the effects were astonishing, far surpassing Grade A Nutrition Serum.
Though Grade S Nutrition Serum was expensive, there were plenty of wealthy people who could afford it and didn't mind the cost. After all, who wouldn't want to buy youth with money?
It was hard to imagine that this was a dream of humanity a few hundred years ago, but now it had become a reality.
Health was the foundation of the revolution. Eric wanted to improve his skills and reach new heights in Divine Realms: Legends, and a strong body and agile mind were essential. So, in this regard, Eric wouldn't repeat the same mistakes he made in his previous life.
Then, he went to Gourmet Restaurant, spent 100 credit points, and ordered two nutritious meals—one to eat there and one to take away for dinner.
Following his meal, Eric proceeded to a regular gym where he utilized 60 credit points to access the facilities. He dedicated four hours to his workout regimen before departing.
At 7 PM, Eric drank a bottle of nutrition serum, lay down on his bed, and put on his helmet to continue playing Divine Realms: Legends.
After logging in, Eric began sorting through the items he had obtained.
After sorting, Eric was amazed. Luminescent Grove was indeed a treasure trove, with over 300 Tier 1 gems, dozens of skill books, dozens of Bronze Equipment, five pieces of Dark Iron Equipment, over 50 decks, more than 20 life profession blueprints, and over 30 Tier 1 magic scrolls, and four Tier 2 magic scrolls.
The magic scrolls from the treasure chests were much better than those from magic shops, as the scrolls in magic shops weren't even Tier 1. Tier 2 magic scrolls were even more precious, each having great value, and no one would sell them.
What made Eric happiest was that the Silver Moon Outfit was complete, and he also completed a set of Black Blood Outfit for Shield Warrior and Guardian Knight.
The Black Blood Outfit's value far exceeded the Silver Moon Outfit. The Black Blood Outfit was one of the best sets for Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights below level 10. If Cola wore it at level six or seven, the team could easily conquer Infernal-level team dungeons below level 10.
With such an abundance of valuable resources, a small team of twenty now possessed a solid foundation. The remaining challenges revolved around addressing technical and personnel issues.
After confirming there was no more profit to be made in Luminescent Grove, Eric activated the teleportation orb and left Luminescent Grove.
