I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1676  An Interesting Offer

Hye had to keep feeding these trees energy, until they'd give him crystals in return. After that, he'd assess the entire process and determine if it was this heaven defying or not.

As he decided to go all out, he took the highest-grade bones he had, the Holy Ones bones. He took ten thousand of them, in batches of one thousand after one thousand.

Each time he took one batch out, the mist would explode inside, trees would grow slightly taller and would become thicker and more lavish. They'd grow more fruits, and yet all the fruits remained in pudding stage.

"What's wrong?" after spending this amount, he decided to stop. Something felt amiss here, and he felt like he was missing something.

Hye spent enough bones to grow up one hundred folds of the crystals he threw inside that heart. Yet he didn't get a single crystal out of any tree.

What made him doubt there was a catch to this treasure was the fact that even with all these bones, not a single tree grew up any fruit. All grew up puddings at the same size and shape.

The only difference was in colour. There was a myriad of colours ranging from white all the way to pale gold. He felt like this was related to the degree of the crystals produced from the trees, something that made him recall the previous talk about this heart with the princess and Uncle Lam.

He was glad these trees were growing in grade, ending up yielding much higher crystals than the ones he threw inside. But what made him unsettled was the long time it seemed for these trees to take to grow up.

He wanted to ask someone, but he doubted any would help. They must have known about this defect of this treasure before selling it, so they'd not expose such a thing to him.

"I have to wait then," he decided to store the Crystal Heart away and wait for few days before inspecting it again. As he did so, he examined the list of remaining items, found nothing special that might interest him.

[There are lots of messages from many valuable customers, wanting to offer you different items for sale. Will you accept?]

Just before he'd close the interface, a message suddenly popped up with a soft female voice that rang in his ears. He looked at the interface then at the list of people who were there. "That's interesting… Let me see what they want to sell…"

Hye knew these customers must have approached the merchant family here and convinced them to let their message through. This must have come for a certain price, and he'd not be surprised if they ended up having part of the grand loot these customers would gain.

He knew how valuable and extremely rare his bones were. As they were the ones to approach him, he accepted their messages and started to read them one by one.

When he got such message at first, he thought the content of their offers wouldn't interest him greatly. Or else why would the merchant family running this auction would let these message reach him.

Out of curiosity he accepted their offer and started to read their messages. But just from the first message and he got extremely shocked, even stood slowly off his sofa, with widened eyes out of his disbelief.

[I have a group of many unused crystal mines to offer for you. These mines are located at XY coordinates in the universe. They are rich in crystals, but the general situation there isn't that good. These mines are located near the border of our universe, close to the outer battlefield. Many battles erupt there frequently, and I couldn't keep the mining process running…]

The first message he got was something that was out of his wildest expectations. Someone was offering him a group of crystal mines, the most precious thing in the entire universe as he understood, the thing he deeply and desperately craved to have.

This man offered him such mines without even batting an eye. He was even sincere in describing the hardships he faced to keep these mines running, ending up suffering more losses than gains. He closed these mines, offered them for sale, but no one ever agreed.

No one wanted a piece of such hot cake, not in such dangerous spot of the universe. Unlike them, Hye didn't care about any of that.

Slowly his plans that were set into motion were already connected with such offer. Hye examined the price this man offered, and he found out that he asked for one hundred million of his silver grade bones.

Hye saw this price to be quite cheap, and that made him doubt the number of crystal mines offered. [How many do you offer?] he had to ask, [And from what race you are from?]

[I'm Lanster, from the Silver Giants] the man responded almost instantly, as if he was sitting on the respond window, [As for the number… I have around one hundred small sized mines, and almost fifteen medium grade mines. I have also one high grade mine, the one that's responsible for all this…]

This man was indeed quite talkative, quite straightforward and sincere. He kept speaking about how that high grade mine released energy in dense amount, reaching far and wide, reaching places away from these mines.

Thanks to such rich energy, it seemed the forces from the other universe got crazy about. They kept trying to control the mines, ending up attracting tons of forces from the outer battlefield from both universes, turning the mine area into a bloodbath field.

Hye thought about this, before he tried to reach for anyone from this merchant family.

[How may I help you, esteemed sir?] another soft girl's voice appeared with a message that responded to his inquiry.

[I want to ask about this… Lanster… Is he someone trustable? Not one of those fake guys…] Hye was worried this would be all scams. But from the answer he got from this lady, he knew Lanster had a fine reputation.
