Chapter 439: Go Back
Chapter 439 Go Back
He slowly opened his eyes after receiving the knowledge. Although he was a bit disappointed he did not get any Martial Arts for his Sword or Spear, at the very least, he also needed to upgrade the level of his element. After all, the biggest advantage he had actually came from his Elements while his weapons were only his front face.
Taking a look at all the previous events, Alex used his Pure Fire at every important moment. He underestimated his Space Element, but after seeing how effective it was in the fight against 150,000 soldiers, Alex could only see it as a sharp weapon.
He suddenly noticed someone was missing. "Wait a minute. Where is Nelson?"
"Because of your tribulation, he needs to make sure no one would think it was you. So, Nelson is going to check that. Apparently, he has suspected the Brynhildr Kingdom might pull some strings for this. So, his request is to make him 10-Star Martial King."
"I see." Alex nodded. He remembered that he should claim the reward from the system.
[Mission: Martial King Stage (1/1)
Reward: Premium Ticket 15 and Gacha Sovereign (Title)
Description: After acc.u.mulating experiences, Host is finally eligible to receive the title as the true host of this system. System shall bestow this title to you.]
He immediately claimed the reward. He did not know whether he could get EXP cards enough to raise Nelson's level, but he decided to check that.
"System, use all my Premium Tickets. Just grab some random boxes. And how do I use the title?"
The system did not say anything until it suddenly appeared in front of him, carrying three boxes with her. She handed him the boxes and said, "It is already activated. Take a deep breath and close your eyes."
Alex grabbed the boxes and followed her instruction. He was wondering what kind of thing he would see.
"Now, open your eyes and see the world more clearly." She said.
Alex slowly opened his eyes and saw his surroundings. There was no change in his vision. However, when he looked at Anna and the others, he could see a very thin green string attached to their index finger. He was bewildered and tried to see where the strings ended up. Surprisingly, all of the strings ended up on his index finger.
Alex raised his hand and looked at it with a shocked face. He tried to see the system and dumbfounded the moment he saw a white string on the system. He did not know why the color was different.
He also found another string on Anna, which was a red string. There were already three different color strings, and he did not know anything about it.
At this time, the system finally explained it. "There are five general relationsh.i.p.s and two others. Friends and family will have green colored strings while Enemies and such will have a black string.
"If you look at Anna, you must have seen a red string. This is a marriage thing. Although you two don't have a grand marriage or something. The vow that both of you exchange has been recognized by Heaven. It would then birth to the Marriage String.
"The fourth one is a bystander… I don't think I need to explain it. And This type of relationship does not give you a string. So, no need to care.
"The white one is a neutral one. It means they have come into your life whether they are a bystander or whatever. At the very least, they have met you for a few minutes. But this one is a little special.
"There are variations for this type of string. If you have a long white string with green stripes, you must have good karma with their past or future self. However, if you have a long white string with black stripes. Then, it must be your past or future enemy." She explained.
"I see." Alex nodded. "Can I block this type of vision? I might get distracted by it if I continuously use it."
"You can't. You can only get used to it." The system girl shook her head.
Alex sighed. He did not know whether he was disappointed about the answer, or because he only had a simple white string attached to his system. He thought they should have a green string or something.
"Anyway, I have done my job. So, I will go back." The system said and disappeared.
Alex shook his head and looked at the boxes. He would need to open this again one by one.
[Mountain Great Axe (UR) x1]
[Summoning Ticket (SR) x5]
[Axe Mastery (UR) x1]
[EXP Cards (R) x1]
[Summoning Ticket (R) x1]
…
Alex was pretty surprised to get two UR items with just five gacha balls. He was wondering if this was the effect of his Gacha Sovereign title or not. Still, looking at the UR items, he was a bit disappointed as he never used an Axe. He shook his head and opened the second box.
[Fire Dragon Saint Heart (UR) x1]
[Random Element Orb (SR) x1]
[EXP card (R) x1]
[Barbed Wire (C) x1]
[Gacha Card (SR) x2]
The second box was pretty decent. He got an Element Orb, albeit it was a random one. He also got the Gacha Cards, which was pretty good. He just needed one more, and he could open the Gacha Box again. He did not know about the Fire Dragon Saint Heart, so he asked the system, and the answer he got was.
[Not consumable for Humans unless you want to become a dragon, but it should be beneficial for Sherry and Kyle, so why not Host give them? It should increase their strength and fire.]
Alex sighed in disappointment. Although he was prepared to do anything to become stronger. He was not prepared to change race as he still wanted to be a human. He had heard that Dragon and other creatures might have stronger strength or something, but he did not care any of that. He won't change, so he would give this to Sherry. He then started checking the last box.
[EXP Card (SR) x1]
[Blazing Shadow Fruit (R) x1]
[100x100 Array Paper (UC) x1]
[Axe Splitting Mountain (UR) x1]
[Water Gallon (UC) x1]
"..." Alex was speechless by the reward. Three out of four UR items he got today were about Axe, weapon, Mastery Card, and a Technique. If only he used an Axe, he would be happy today and thought this was the best day ever.
He shook his head. At least, he got one SR EXP card and two Rare EXP cards. He was wondering whether he could level up Nelson to 10-Star Martial King. He used the SR EXP card first.
[Nelson (Dark)
Level: 48/80 (8-Star Martial King Stage)
Exp: 266464/390000]
"..." He was astonished. SR EXP card could give him a million EXP, but it could only raise two levels for Nelson. He used the other two EXP cards on him and raised him to 9-Star Martial King. Alex took out his card and apologized. "Sorry, Nelson. It seems I can only level you up to 9-Star Martial King."
"It's alright, Young Master. This is plenty. I will try to be careful."
"Uhm. Good luck to you." Alex nodded.
He then looked at the other spirits and asked, "So, what should we do now?"
"Go back, I guess," Anna said. "You are going to train your basics, right? And there is this lightning tribulation. You need to sort all of it in your mind like last time."
"Yeah. Well, how do we go back? I mean, we are going with the boat, but how do I buy the ticket?"
"Nelson bought the ticket from an early date, so it was not that expensive. If I am not wrong, it was around a Million Spirit Stones back then for the VIP ticket." Anna explained.
"So, if I want to go back quickly, then I will need to pay more."
"Yeah. That's about it." Anna nodded.
"I don't have any trouble with that since I have plenty of them." Alex nodded. At first, he thought he would get a discount like buying an airplane ticket at the last minute. But it seemed, it did not work that way. It was a hot commodity, and the closer it was to the date of departure, the higher the price.
He then recalled Anna and the others, except Nelson, since he was going to stay here.
Alex then started flying to the port city. He came to the dock and searched for a sailor. They should know where to buy a ticket.
After a few minutes, he finally found one of them, and surprisingly, it was the same guy that he met back in Willow Continent.
"I want to buy a ticket to go back to the Willow Continent. Do you know where I can get it?" Alex asked.
"Ah, sir. It is you. May I know the date for your departure. Our company has two departures each week. The nearest one would be tomorrow. But the price is quite pricey."
"Don't worry about that." He shrugged.
"Then, I will lead you." The sailor led him to a building. The building was like the Adventurer Guild back in the lower world, but instead of adventurers, it was filled with people who wanted to go to Willow Continent.
The sailor then asked him to come. "Sir, this way please."
Alex nodded. The sailor led him to a receptionist. It was a pretty young lady with blue hair. "Welcome, Sir. I have been informed that you want to board the ship tomorrow. This is going to be a bit pricey for you since you need a hundred thousand Spirit Stones for a ticket."
Alex looked at her, dumbfounded. The sailor whispered something to her hurriedly, and the receptionist immediately corrected it with a scared tone. The people who bought VIP tickets usually came from a big background since they were so expensive. She was afraid Alex would do something to her about this. "I am sorry. Let me correct myself. For a VIP ticket, you need five million Spirit Stones."
Alex was not someone who loved to nitpick, so he just grabbed a space ring and filled it with five million Spirit Stones before handing it to her.
The receptionist nodded and immediately gave him the ticket while shaking. After that, the sailor immediately led him toward his room, and the receptionist finally felt relieved.
Alex gave him a tip for his hard work and asked him to leave.
Before, he was a bit occupied with the tribulation, so he could not enjoy the journey. But this time, he toured around the ship to see what kind of ship this was.
He activated his Spirit Eyes to see the engine. It was powered by an Array, and it was a wind base Array. Inside the ship was filled with gambling and entertainment. Alex could see many people were ogling the beauties around and would pay their services if they took a liking on them.
A few women also came to him, selling their bodies. Alex was much better than those people since he was still young and handsome. And they could see his VIP ticket since he needed to bring it around to get various benefits.
Alex also watched many people's cultivation, and most of them were only Martial Lords. He only saw a single Martial King in this boat, and it seemed he was the one responsible for guarding the boat.
He then came to the deck and experienced the sea breeze a little. He never rode a ship before, so he did not know this feeling. But to think his first experience was in the other world, he let out a chuckle.
Sadly, he did not have a chance to relax as he saw a few flying monsters in front of him. Alex frowned as he did not know it was a daily occurrence for them. The Martial King he saw earlier finally came to the deck together with a few people.
