CHAPTER 76: I AM DISAPPOINTED

"Completed? I’ve got at least 300 billion left to spend... A trillion was used to fully star-up all their equipment. So, I’m left with the remaining 300 billion..."

A series of notifications flashed before Sunny:

{Congratulations! Master gained 1,000,000 EXP Boost.}

{Congratulations, Master gained the All-Changer Boots - [second set gotten].}

{Congratulations, Master gained a new passive skill; Absolute Defense... God-rank.}

{Master gained a new passive skill; Blood Link... God-rank.}

{Master gained Grand Class Celestial Energy Gemstone X10.}

{Master unlocked the second function; Personal Bank...}

{Congratulations; Master gained a Grand Class Celestial Potion.}

"....?!!"

Sunny sat there, utterly frozen. Only the words "God-rank" echoed in his mind.

’God-rank? What the hell is that?’

{God-rank skills: These skills are significantly stronger than high grand skills. Only those in the Divine rank can typically use them, but due to the system... Master can use them even at his lowest rank.}

’Okay... Give me a full description of these things.’

{All-Changer Boots: Second set of the All-Changer armor... Adds 50% to speed, stamina, and +3,000 to Celestial Energy.}

{Absolute Defense description: Protects User from attacks from any opponent with lower Celestial energy... 100% toxic, magic, physical, mind, and soul damage resistance... Note: The opponent’s celestial energy must be lower than Master’s... God-rank skill.}

{Blood Link description: Links your blood to any target... Transfers 50% damage the target receives to User, and the User permanently gains a 10% increase in Attack... Max targets: 100... God-rank skill.}

{Grand Class Celestial Gemstone: Can increase the rank of anyone who uses it... The higher the class of the gemstone, the more benefits received... Has a 10% chance of permanently increasing Celestial energy... Note: Useless to Master.}

{Personal Bank: For any Galaxy Crystals spent through quests, Master gains 10% of the total amount... Note: Master must complete the quest before gaining the 10% personal money... Personal money won’t disappear even if the System shuts down.}

{Grand Class Celestial Potion: Increases Celestial energy by 10,000.}

Sunny was absolutely flabbergasted. Each of these rewards was a rare treasure, and he’d just received them all from a single quest.

’Super quest... System, do I receive a God-rank skill in all super quests?’

{No Master... You have a 50% chance of gaining one God-rank skill. A 20% chance of gaining two; a 0.99% chance of gaining three.}

’0.99% chance? Gosh, it seems I’m lucky.’ He thought, his gaze lingering on the Personal Bank.

’I’m more relieved about this bank; even if the system shuts down, I’ll still have money... So I have to complete more quests to increase it.’ He nodded.

’Absolute Defense, what a God-rank skill... My celestial energy is higher than 70% of people in this galaxy... I’m clearly untouchable... And with the celestial potion... Wait, show me my Celestial energy.’

{Celestial Energy: 3,000 (+25,000).}

’28,000! Wow! That’s high... I should give this potion to someone else... Josephine will need it.’ He then turned his attention to the second God-rank skill.

’This is stupid! I receive 50% damage and only gain a 10% increase in attack!... Show me my attack.’

{Attack: 300 (+10,000).}

’Only a 10% increase... That’s low... But that 50% reduction in damage can save someone’s life; but what about my life? What if I’m injured and still receive 50% of someone else’s attack? Won’t I die?’ He sighed, rubbing his temple.

"Are you okay, Love?" Josephine, who was sitting beside him, whispered.

He nodded at her.

’Who can I link it with?’

{Current number of target: 1.}

{Josephine Hel.}

{Reasons: Both Master and target have drunk each other’s blood.}

’Oh...? I bit her last time, so I already tasted her blood and gave her my blood to resurrect her... So... I can only link people who drank my blood and I drank theirs.’ He turned his gaze to Ellen.

’She hasn’t taken mine, so she wasn’t included in the target... If I have to link with Josephine, I won’t mind, we already share the same soul...’

He made his decision.

’I pick Josephine.’

{Are you sure, Master?}

’Yes.’

{Starting Process.}

{Done.}

’So fast?’

He turned to Josephine with a confused expression. "Did you feel anything?"

"No... Why?" Josephine asked back.

"Nothing." Sunny shook his head with a small smile.

Josephine stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded her head.

’I have Josephine, Ellen, Jinx, Nicolas, Blood Eye, Star, and Nioh... Each one of them can receive the Celestial Energy Gem... It remains me, three of them... it’s useless to me... I will keep it for now.’

"God Wolf."

Sunny looked up at the Dwarven king, then moved his gaze to his group... All of them staring at him.

Before he could say something, a voice sounded from the door:

"I am back!!"

Everyone turned to the double doors, seeing Jinx walking towards them with four bags, filled with jewels in both hands.

"....?!!!"

The whole room was dumbfounded.

Jinx walked towards them and placed the bags on the long table, right between Ellen and Sunny.

"This?"

Ellen’s eyes widened, seeing all the gold jewelry and gems inside the bag.

"What is all this?" Star asked in mild confusion.

"These are for the people!" She yelled, clearly ecstatic.

"For the people? So much? Wait, how are you even planning on sharing it?" Nioh asked with a frown.

"We will host a competition; the winner gains the rewards... I also bought countless treasures and potions... It’s too bad the Dwarves ran out of things to sell."

"...?!!"

All eyes turned to the Dwarven king with a stunned gaze. Upon hearing her last words, they all turned to Sunny... While Josephine asked:

"How much money did you spend?"

"Hmm..." Jinx held her jaw, lost in thought.

"I don’t know, I forgot... But I’m sure it’s above 200 billion."

PIFFF!!

The Dwarven king spurted out the wine he had just drunk and looked up at Jinx:

"200 Billion?!!"

"Yep!"

Jinx nodded and pulled out Sunny’s card, handing it back to him.

"I think I spent more than that." She said.

Sunny took the card and kept it in the system storage.

"I’m disappointed." He said.

"....?!"

Everyone turned to him in confusion.

"Why?" Jinx asked; "Did... Did I spend too much?"

"No... I’m disappointed because you didn’t spend more."

"WHAT?!!!"

".....?!!!!!!"

A deadly silence fell upon the room.
