God's Eyes

Because Mark and Gabriella had to deliver the fox cubs to the beast merchants who messaged them a few days ago, the three youths decided to go shopping.

The shopping centers and stalls in Jiro-City were much grander than the ones in Artes city and filled with many different things to buy which one couldn't purchase in Artes city.

Greg and Jason were astonished about the things they could purchase because it was the first time for Jason to be in a different city than Artes city and Greg was never in a shopping-street when he was younger and lived in Cyro-City.

Malia was unbothered by most things one could purchase, except some clothes and exotic weapons attracted her attention, which Jason found funny.

Jason had around 20 million credits and he wanted to use them to purchase mana stones and other things.

When he arrived in Cyro-City he would have a week left before the school started and it was very important for him to increase his combat prowess until then, because of different reasons, including the student-rankings on the first day…

Because of that, he would have to improve his combat experience and combat skills.

That′s why Jason wanted to enter a two-star wild zone when he arrived in Cyro city.

To protect himself he wanted to purchase a mana gun or more exactly the ManaM9 with an effective firing range of 200 meters. With its black metallic color made out of black iron, a length of 217mm(8.5 in), and a barrel length of 125mm (4.9in) Jason would be able to handle it easily with one hand and Jason adored the exterior design causing him to purchase one.

A common M9 pistol was a grade-1 Mana gun with its specialization being a pistol with weak recoil and a standard magazine size of 15 bullets.

It could easily kill evolved beasts with a single shot inside a vital area and was as such extremely dangerous.

But the most frightening aspect about this weapon was its price.

3.000.000 Credits with 4 filled magazines(common mana bullets)

However, Jason still decided to purchase it as defensive measures, and furthermore, Jason bought another 300 common mana bullets and many other types of ammunition like armor-piercing bullets, explosive bullets, boat tails bullets, and more.

Adding everything together, Jason′s bank account was reduced by around 4.000.000 Credits with a single purchase, causing a devastating expression to appear on his face.

`My money!!` He sulked but this thought was fast replaced.

Because he still had around 16 million credits left, Jason decided to use 4 million credits to purchase mana stones as an investment for himself.

With 12 million credits and 97 small mana stones left, Jason was confident to reach the later-levels of the Novice rank, easily!!

Jason even saw some soul weapons inside the shops but he was uninterested in them at the moment because he wasn't able to afford them even if he feigned interest.

Greg found a heavyweight vest which one could adjust to one's needed weight to train.

While Greg bought a heavyweight vest which he could adjust from 1kg to 3000 kg, Jason found this also interesting and he decided to purchase a heavyweight vest with an adjustable weight from 1 to 500kg.

It was priced at 2 million credits and Jason had now only half of his fortune left.

Nevertheless, Jason would wear it during every workout and adjust his strength like that.

They continued their stroll when Jason saw something he didn't think he could find in a previous stall.

Jason′s knowledge was solid and vast compared to his peers, except for his lack in telling pictures to some beasts, which he was already catching up.

When he saw a particular fruit of one stall with its mana fluctuations, Jason′s eyes bulged slightly and he went closer.

Jason hadn't seen many fruits radiating mana but this fruit even had a paper-thin black color radiating from it.

This was something he had never seen and he wondered what was going on with this fruit.

It was a Holy white bacuri which was a low-Class-1 fruit and its price was stated for 10 million credits.

Malia and Greg noticed his gaze and Malia informed him about the fruit

"The Holy white bacuri fruit is a rare fruit which can only be found in mana dense magic zones or permanent rifts, occasionally it is found in four-star wild zones but it is extremely rare.

This fruit is able to completely dissolve one's mana core shackles until one reaches the low-Adept rank.

It is used by influencing heirs to increase their cultivation speed to a certain degree.

Comparing their speed with the same amount of mana sensitivity and control, the one who used a Holy white bacuri fruit would be much faster to reach the levels fourth and seventh up to the Novice core limit.

There would be no thresholds between the 3rd and 4th, and 6th and 7th level if one used the Holy white bacuri fruit and one could easily enter the Adept rank.

Looking at this fruit, I'm sure that this is only one of the lowest-ranked Holy light bacuri fruits that exist, otherwise, its price would be much higher."

The vendor listened to the youths talking and in the beginning, he was confident that one of these youths might purchase the Holy white bacuri fruit but after the young woman finished her small lesson, he began to sweat lightly…

It was true that this fruit was one of the worst possible ranks had and 10 million credits were probably a scam but he had to sell them because he was in a huge debt, so he tried his best to the fruit palatable

"My dear customer...If you purchase this Holy white bacuri fruit for 10 million credits this grade-2 perennial neoxid box prevents the declining effect of Class-2 herbs for more than 5 years if it's not opened consistently."

Listening to the vendor Jason′s interest was picked.

The fruit was already in a box and couldn′t release its magical effect but if Jason bought this fruit it would be without the perennial neoxid box.

He didn't want to purchase the holy white bacuri fruit for himself, rather it was to experiment with something once he got a new soulbond..

Jason was way too curious and he had already researched for quite some time about the price for purifying items or fruits and the lowest price was around 25 million..

This Holy white baruci fruit would probably be the cheapest purification fruit Jason would be able to get his hand on for the time being, so he decided to purchase it.

Receiving a grade-2 perennial neoxid box in addition to the holy white bacur fruit was also nice, because it was worth 2 million credits alone.

While Jason transferred 10 million credits, he was left with around 100.000 Credits.

Malia and Greg were a little bit astonished about his purchase but they found it was still a good idea because Jason had no time left to break through the shackles and saving time was always good and a decent investment in one′s human capital.

Right now Jason was just too weak and it would only hinder him to wait for a natural breakthrough.

They didn′t know that Jason did not purchase the fruit for himself rather for his future beast but he wouldn't say it out loud if nobody asked.

Jason was also curious why there were shackles to the 4th and 7th level while the walls to a new rank were quite normal, he couldn′t understand the walls in between the ranks.

One had to know that the ranking system was only established 200 years ago and there were still many theories out that the "mana-cultivation" system was wrong and should be revised.

But there weren't any proofs and theories alone were not good enough to cause a revision of an established system.

Suddenly the three of them heard a loud siren resounding through the streets and a mechanical voice spreading right afterward.

**Attention please, attention, please…

Due to some unforeseen reasons, a large number of beasts have stepped through the magical dome. They are now on their way to the city walls.

Please stay calm and go to the closest shelter or into safe proximity.

This is not a test. This is not a test! **
