Cursed Immortality

At this moment, the virtual projection changed, and the list of magic cores appeared in front of Jacob.

There were all kinds of element cores ranging from 1-star to 9-star, and the rarer the element, the more they cost.

At the top of the list were Light and Dark Magic Cores, which started from 500 ZC for a 1-star magic core and went all the way to the 9-star magic core, costing 50,000 ZC!

Seeing all those prices, his eyes shimmered before he took out multiple magic cores he had collected while hunting, some of which were of the basic elements; they were extras.

"I want to sell all these magic cores," Jacob stated.

Thereafter, SAAI started to scan the magic cores one after another.

After a minute, SAAI's emotionless voice rang, "23,500 ZC for all the magic cores. Will you accept the trade?"

Jacob found this price fair since there were 22 magic cores, all of which were between 1-star and 3-star, and only six were of rare elements like poison. So, he didn't hesitate and sold them, increasing his balance from 150,002 ZC to 173,502 ZC.

Afterward, a black hole appeared below the magic cores and gobbled them before vanishing in front of Jacob's astonished eyes.

Jacob inhaled sharply as he thought, 'Just what kind of technology this place had?'

Keeping his thought, he started to buy the magic cores without hesitation.

Thereupon, SAAI's voice rang after Jacob was done with his selection,

"Three 9-Star Magic Cores of Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost; 30,000 ZC.

"Four 8-Star Magic Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost: 36,000 ZC.

"Four 7-Star Magic Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost: 32,000 ZC.

"Four 6-Star Magic Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost: 28,000 ZC.

"Four 5-Star Magic Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost: 24,000 ZC.

"Four 4-Star Magic Cores of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Elements, total cost: 20,000 ZC.

"After deducting the 2% discount, the Final Cost is; 166,600 ZC

"Will you continue?"

Jacob's expression was somewhat dark as he heard the final price because he was still planning to buy the languages and needed a new star watch.

'Should I exclude four and 5-star magic cores and collect them myself? No, it would take unknown time to track all four element magic cores myself, and after the protection was lifted, it would be mayhem out there.

'My strength is not enough. It would be over if I encountered someone like that dark being and more than one. Surprise attacks won't work every single time, especially if there are multiple enemies….' Jacob thought grimly before he inhaled deeply and nodded while saying, "I will continue."

166,600 ZC instantly vanished from his balance states, leaving him with only 6,902 ZC.

Thereafter, another black hole appeared in front of Jacob before colorful and glimmering cores started to pour out one after another.

With shimmering eyes, Jacob collects all the 23 magic cores with a hint of excitement in his eyes. A feeling of relief washed over him when he saw all the magic cores in his pendant. He had taken another step closer to Immortality.

Jacob also felt extremely calm as all his greed for those things in the store also quelled, and peace returned to his mind.

'Nothing is compared to Immortality. I can get as many of these toys as long as I have everlasting life and even more…' Jacob thought with a peaceful expression.

The next moment, he took off his star watch and Livia's, his almost destroyed titan swords, and the silver sword. He even took off ragged armor as well as the extra ones in his storage, and he wore his usual dark attire.

He wasn't done; he took out half of Fire Wyvern's scaly hide, two gallons of Fire Wiener blood, and lastly, the Titan Rifle, which was completely tranquil, and there was no recoil to speak off despite Jacob being ready to receive it.

This made Jacob somewhat happy. He almost emptied all the pendant space as he only kept what he deemed important and took out anything extra or something he could make again, like the titan rifle and swords.

"Tell me which of these things can be sold and how much will I get?" He emotionlessly said while looking at the pile of things in front.

He knew this was his only chance to get whatever he needed from this place, or he had to complete another trial to get such a chance again. So, he stopped hesitating and decided to sell these things which were expendable.

Especially the titan rifle, which he had high hope that he would get a high price for it. He had spent over 600 ZC previously, including bullets, to make it, and he could do it again.

Furthermore, he didn't forget about his free weapon, so he didn't need those swords for now, and they were not enough for him anyway.

SAAI scan every item one by one before stating, "Intermediate-Type-0 Star Watches price: 200 ZC

"Broken Swords made with Basic-Type-1 materials, price: 25

"Broken set of armor, two complete sets of male and female armor set, price: 43 ZC

"Infant Fire Wyvern Hide (Incomplete), price: 21,000 ZC

"Two gallons of Infant Fire Wiener blood, price: 100,200 ZC

"Basic-Type-2 projectile weapon and components, price: 1 Million

"Basic-Type-2 bullets, prices: 5,000 per bullet, total bullets 13, total price: 65 000 ZC.

"Finale Price: 1,186,468 ZC

"Will you accept this trade?"

'Now we're talking!' Jacob's lips curled up.

He expected nothing less from his creation. In contrast, the revelation about the Wyvern being only an infant made him astonished and bitter.

"I accept." He said without hesitation.

He now knows that the gun business was as profitable as he remembered it to be, and he knew what he needed to do after getting out of there as well.

All the things vanished before Jacob, but his eyes were fixed on the new balance, which was 1,193,370 ZC!

Without hesitation, he first commanded to change the list into star watches, and he bought the first one on the list, which was an Advance-Type-1 Star Watch with a price tag of 100,000!

He knew these watches had many valuable functions, and in zodiac plains, if one didn't have a star watch, then they were as good as beasts.

Furthermore, he needed a high-level star watch to gain access to the alliance shop's magic-related features, so he knew it was worth the price.

A black Star Watch with like a wristband appeared as it looked extremely ordinary, like a typical rubble wristband. But when Jacob wore it an active it, it suddenly covered his arm like a liquid substance, and it was as thin as paper and looked just like black skin.

Jacob was astonished when try moving his arm. He was even more surprised as he felt no resistance at all. It was like he was really wearing a thin layer of skin over his arm.

Afterward, it got active; all the backup data in his account and his old star watch were downloaded within a few seconds as it shone over his arm.

Jacob found many functions. He could even activate it while wearing clothes over it through the 'projection screen function' just like the projection list in front of him.

Jacob decided to get familiar with it after he left here since there were some extremely unbelievable functions on it.

He then opened the language list again and bought the Type-1 Rune Language, Type-1 Magic Rune Encyclopedia, Type-1 Philosopher Language and even the Language of Dead since it would come in handy if he ever decided to infiltrate the undead army again.

This purchase cost him 61,100 ZC, and he received virtual copies of these languages in his star watch, which were bonded to his star ID. He can't sell them or send them to anyone else, or it would be akin to a felony.

As for physically spreading it, there was no warning about it. Even if there was any, Jacob wasn't planning to share it with anyone.

Then Jacob opened the weapon list, which was divided into Mech Weapons, and Magic Weapons which made his eyes shine. He didn't even look in the mech weapon section as he was only interested in magic weapons in the type-1 category now.

Since his titan rifle was a basic-type-2 weapon, it should fall into the mech weapon category. However, he knew there should be intermediate and advanced ranks above it.

This means type-2 weapons had firepower like titan sniper and were even more terrifying; this will also make those weapons unusable for Jacob.

He didn't know how they measure a weapon's rank here, but he was pretty sure that the weapons he had never dared to publicize in his old world were common, like vegetables here.

So, he wasn't afraid of standing out because of his creations anymore. He even wanted to learn more about this world's weapon technology, especially this magic weapon technology!
