Chapter 110 Is The Rusty Ring A Sacred Relic?
The onlookers were stupefied as Mark showed Mo Jiang, a gold ring. "This is your storage ring, right?"
"Yes," He shrieked. At the same time, he was shivering in cold with water dripping from his head.
"Here, take it." Mark stretched his hand.
"Di… did you… did you come here to return the ring?" Mo Jiang stuttered in fear as he took the ring with a shivering hand.
Mark couldn't understand why this guy suddenly turned into a coward. Just because he was thrashed by Allen and got his equipment confiscated? Mark didn't think so.
Nevertheless, it doesn't have anything to do with and he doesn't care.
He spoke, "I'll get to the matter directly. I have two questions. You just needed to answer."
"What is it?" Mo Jiang asked him.
Mark turned his head to look at Chen Shi, "I need to talk with him, alone. Either you wait outside or get killed after hearing the secret. Which option do you wish to pick?"
Very soon, the owner, the boy, Chen Shi, and his team, everyone left the room.
Looking at Mo Jiang, Mark proceeded to ask, "My first question. What kind of unlucky incidents that you faced after I left the Everlasting store?"
Mark wished to understand more about the ring of luck as the ones he absorbed the luck were either dead or far away. Mo Jiang is the only one that is available.
Mo Jiang was surprised at first but he eventually answered his meeting with the ambushes of goblins, then, trolls, werewolf, and all.
Mark still remembered that this person has 4 points of luck, of which he took away 2 points back then. After hearing everything, Mark remembered how Mo Jiang said how the Church identified it as a curse.
He couldn't help but wonder whether the curse will get stronger if he gets luckier or it is just the result of their low luck points
For example, back when Mo Jiang faces the unfortunate incidents one after another, Mark received a battle tank in the lottery with the help of absorbed luck points. Then, what would have happened if he didn't earn anything? Then, would Mo Jiang still face the same incidents?
The Ring of Luck doesn't just give luck to its wearer. In return, the target will also be unlucky. So, Mark had a theory on whether the degree of curse depends on his luck of acquiring things or was he just thinking too much.
The system's silence on the matter also increased his curiosity. To confirm his theory, Mark decided to test on a few subjects, later. However, only on the ones that have high luck points.
Mo Jiang continued, "And even after treating myself at the church, my bad luck hasn't gone at all. First, I run into you and lost everything, and then, some guy with a bow and arrow tortured me to hand him some sacred relic of Yu's Ring. I repeatedly told him that I didn't find any tomb of Emperor Yu."
He continued to shiver once again, then, frantically looking for the pot vessel full of beer.
"Sacred relic? Tomb of Emperor Yu? Yu's Ring?" Mark was stunned when he heard it. His other reason for coming here is to inquire about the origins of the rusty ring. But now, he strongly felt that it might be Yu's Ring, considering how the system displayed its interest.
If Mo Jiang doesn't remember it, Mark felt that it is better to leave it that way.
He nodded and replied, "It looked like you went through a lot. I won't trouble you for any longer."
He turned around without trying to confirm about the rusty ring and walked away.
Later, while leaving the place, Mark gave 10 gold coins to the boy, "If you don't want to be an adventurer one day and decided to settle for a stable income job, visit Genesis store."
"10 gold coins?" Chang Bo counted the glistening gold coins again and again in disbelief. He didn't even do anything and received money more than enough.
For someone like Chen Shi, ten gold coins are like change but for Chang Bo, it is enough for him to eat his fill three times a day for a whole year.
One of the adventurers from Chen Shi's team standing nearby spoke, "Chang Bo, you are indeed a lucky person to get the attention of Owner Lu."
Chang Bo looked at the gold coins and at Mark's back a few times.
After finishing his business with Mo Jiang, Mark looked at his pocket watch and found that only an hour has passed.
With two hours left to go, Mark decided to go on a shopping spree. The three of them sighted in several places in the Central district, buying linen and even silk clothes at one of the popular clothing stores, giving a huge order for custom made boxes at a furniture store as the one he was familiar with razed to the ground, buying a huge number of fantasy novels from a book store that can be read even by children and teenagers, and buying groceries that can even last for half a year
People who recognized him paid their respects and people who didn't miss their chance of getting acquainted.
However, Mark never bought jewelry as he wasn't a fan of those ornaments the nobles put on top of their heads. Moreover, he also doesn't want to increase Alina's beauty even more. To diminish her attraction, Mark even planned to make her wear the male clothing from now onwards but rejected at the last moment for he doesn't want her to change the sexual orientation of the girls that visit his store in the future.
Along with the jewelry, he also didn't buy any carriage as he decided to use the battle tank for now as it will give his identity to everyone on the way and later, shift to armored vehicles like Marauder, after unlocking them.
Almost two hours were about to finish and the three of them were returning from the fish market.
Mark was looking at his inventory filled with so many items and thought, "once you have money, you really spend a lot, huh. Almost 1800 gold coins disappeared in two hours. But then again, I'm going to live in a 16-room mansion. So, this much expense is necessary.
Moreover, by tomorrow noon, I'll earn 2000 gold coins from Lin Xue for the four days. Considering my 40% cut, I'll make 800 gold coins. So, that's only 1000 gold coins of reduction in my wealth."
<strong>*Ding! The renovation of the store is successfully completed. You can enter the store.</strong>
About 15-20 minutes later, Mark reached the place. The Protos barrier disappeared long ago and from the outside, nothing was changed.
Allen proceeds to open the shutter. Mark peeked inside and almost opened his mouth in shock.
He quickly entered the store and told Allen to close the entrance.
Mark then looked around. Everything is constructed in pure white marble. In front of him lies the beige-colored reception counter, which is nearby the entrance. There's a modern chair. Behind the desk, Genesis was written in big words.
To the left and to the right, two paths lead to a different set of rooms.
For now, everything is empty as Mark had to decide, which goes in which. Naturally, the large rooms are to display the big vehicles like the tanks and helicopters, and small rooms could accommodate display firearms or ammunition.
At the end of the right pathway, there's a staircase that leads to a large house with over 12 rooms. It was filled with sofa sets, beds, paintings, beautiful chandeliers were hanging. Everything came for free naturally.
What's more, there's a built-in feature installed by the system that came with the renovation. It is the optimal temperature setting. No matter what weather is outside, inside, the temperature was always fixed at 18.
Mark couldn't help but let out a whistle, "man, I didn't spend 25000 for nothing."
He saw all of them in the blueprint but seeing it in the image and experiencing it, in reality, is different.
For the rest of the day, while Mark kept on creating different types of weapons, the other two Android assistants started to arrange them.
The next day, Mark lazily woke up from the comfy bed, had a shower, then, breakfast.
Once he was done with everything by 7, he came downstairs and opened the shutter.
