Eren, Mira and Elena, three of them stayed in the healing hall till 9 PM, till their father told them to go home and come back in the morning repeatedly.
"Eren, don't slack off during these three months, increase your level to 5 first. I will help you hunt monsters from the outer area faster. That way, you can level even faster and have a chance to level up your skills too."
"Okay dad."
Eren just nodded his head without arguing as he didn't want to see his father agitating like before.
Three of them went back to their home and slept well, especially Eren, who was mentally tired by the long hours of fighting and fell asleep like a dead person.
He only woke up when he smelled the food his mom was cooking.
It was already 8:00 am the moment he woke up.
Under his mother's constant urges he helplessly readied himself and ate the breakfast.
"Once you finish raiding the beginner dungeon, come directly to the healing hall..."
His mother said as she packed his lunch and put it in his bag.
She even came to see him off till he entered the taxi, and watched until the taxi disappeared from her view.
But Eren instructed the taxi driver to drive the car to the Awakener Association.
Eren immediately used his awakener account and stored every item from his inventory.
[You have stored 10,000 Alpha Core Fragments, 2,000 Gloomfang Hearts, 300 Shadowstep Boots, 10 Abyssal Essence Crystals, 70,564 Lesser Elixirs, and 1,301,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Please confirm the deposit...]
After he confirmed, the stored items were displayed inside the app.
Eren calmly took a seat and went through the price details of the items.
First he chose to directly sell 1.3 million Low Grade Spirit Stones to the association.
The current price of each stone amounted to 583 per each, slightly increased from yesterday's value when he sold his eight low-grade spirit stones.
Tax was 15 alliance coins per each.
With a single click on the phone, all of them were sold instantly.
Ding!
Within ten seconds, his awakener account was deposited with 738.4 million alliance coins in an instant.
"738 millions!..."
Eren took a sharp breath.
This number is something even a Tier 3 combat profession would rarely see in their bank account.
Average expenses of his home per month were around 360,000 to 380,000 alliance coins, which Eren's father easily earned in four or five days.
After deducting their daily expenses from daily earnings, like transportation costs of monster corpses, processing fees, tax, and other expenses.
Alan's income of 1.3 million to 1.5 million a month already put Eren's family slightly above the middle class.
If not for his father spending most of his money on gathering his Tier-up materials and buying Tier 2 skill books, his family would have easily saved up 50 million alliance coins in five to six years.
But the amount Eren just got from a single raid utterly overwhelmed the years of hardship his father could have gone through even in a hundred years.
And he had not even started selling his other items at all.
"This is insane..."
Eren actually started to panic a little at this moment, suddenly seeing such numbers in his account.
Taking a deep breath, Eren focused on the things he needed to buy for his skill-up quest.
[Moonlit Core Fragment ×3
Abyssal Essence Crystal ×10
Crescent Moon Grass ×20
Low Grade Spirit Stone ×1000
10,000 Life Essence]
Eren took a look at his Life Essence reserve in the status window, which showed more than 450 million.
"Life Essence is the least thing I need to worry about... I also have Abyssal Essence Crystals and Low Grade Spirit Stones."
His focus shifted to the trading section of the association.
When he typed the names Moonlit Core Fragment and Crescent Moon Grass, their information immediately popped up.
Crescent Moon Grass — Cost: 250,000 alliance coins per each.
But when he scrolled down, he also saw some people selling them for more than 500,000 each.
Why is there such a price difference between the same product?
Curious, he opened the trading chat where reviews and common doubts were posted.
[Host#88072034470: Hey, what is the difference between low-priced Crescent Moon Grass and high-priced ones?]
Someone had asked the exact same question he had in his mind.
The reply from the seller was below it.
[Host#78958254677: Crescent Moon Grass is one of the very hard-to-cultivate herbs which only grows under thick lunar energy that is directly absorbed from the moon.
Not only that, it also cannot be cultivated quickly with growth potions, as growth potions are toxic for these kinds of herbs. So we have to raise them for years with proper care.
Despite being the same grass, some grow in three years while some take five years to grow.
These herbs are mostly used to brew Night Vision Potions or Lunar Elixirs, which increase the overall spirit attribute by 100 points.
But just as I mentioned above, not all grasses grow in the same way or manner. Some naturally absorb more lunar energy than others.
So Crescent Moon Grass has been mostly divided into three qualities depending on the lunar energy condensed in them.
Crescent Moon Grasses that are sold at 250,000 per each are the lowest quality, while 400,000 per each are mid quality and 550,000 per each are high quality.
We also have top quality ones which have the densest amount of lunar energy that cost 800,000 per each.
We strongly recommend people who want to brew elixirs to buy higher-grade Crescent Moon Grass. Each grade higher the grass increases brew success rate by a significant level.
Top quality herbs could increase success rate by 10%.]
As Eren scrolled down more, he saw a lot of people bargaining for high-grade Crescent Moon Grass at lower prices.
From the conversations, Eren could tell that higher-grade herbs indeed had their own benefits.
Eren, without wasting a second, directly placed an order for 20 top-grade Crescent Moon Grass and paid all the money at once.
16 million alliance coins instantly vanished from his account.
"It's really a pleasant feeling to spend money without any bargaining… Is this how rich people spend their money?"
Eren felt very satisfied.
Next, his focus shifted to Moonlit Core Fragments.
The information immediately appeared.
Moonlit Core Fragment – Cost: 500,000 alliance coins each.
These cores were drop items from Silvermoon Fox Lair, a Level 10 divine-faction dungeon.
The boss monster seemed to be a very powerful creature that used illusion and mental attacks, and the drop rate of this core fragment was also below 30%.
So the price was well worth it.
Another 1.5 million disappeared in a blink.
Ding! Ding!
Eren saw two messages he had received.
One was from the app he was currently using.
[Host#78958254677: Sir/Madam, thank you so much for your purchase from our Astral Bloom Syndicate. We will pack your merchandise within two hours and it will be sent through high-speed postal. You will receive your herbs in two days. If you have any doubts or need any services, you can directly contact me with my host ID. Once again, thank you so much for your purchase. Have a great day.]
When Eren checked the delivery details of the Moonlit Core Fragments, it also showed that they would be delivered directly to his account within two days.
Both of these items were coming from the same city called Silverveil City, which was far northeast of Tidewatch City.
Eren then took a look at the second message and found it had come from Kael.
When he opened it, he saw a document linked within the message stating:
"Hm?"
When he opened it, it showed all the expenses and the plan they had come up with for increasing levels and skill levels, with day counts, the hours they planned to spend, the materials they could use each day, the products they could produce, the price ranges of the required items, lending fees for workshops and fields…
Everything, without missing a single detail, was put together in an orderly manner.
And the total cost they came up with was less than 50 million.
He couldn't believe the effort his friends had put into this document and the hours of research they must have done to come up with it.
"Pff—hahahaha… These guys really think some kind of big shot is sponsoring them… I didn't know these assholes were this serious when it comes to a job…"
Eren directly called Kael, who attended the call in a single ring and immediately asked,
"Eren, did you see what we sent? How is it? Do you think they will accept it?"
Eren's mouth twitched, and he had a hard time stopping himself from laughing when he heard the serious tone.
Coughing for a moment to adjust his mood, Eren said in a serious tone,
"No. I don't think it will work."
"Huh… Is that so…?"
A disappointed tone was heard from the other end of the call.
"Yeah. They want us to buy the workshops, lands, and all the necessary equipment. No lending. Redo everything within an hour and come up with details of how much you all need."
"Huh… WHAT?!"
