Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent

Chapter 81 Shopping Hustle and Bustle

***

The next day.

Tenth Floor City Inn.

Misa still couldn't understand Aaron's attitude. He had taken her to the slavery center for a specific reason, something she had never thought of.

At first, Misa thinks that Aaron would sell her like any other lowly woman. However, he was just protecting his identity.

'I have to be careful. Don't let me think of betraying him. I don't want to die because of the slave seal,' Misa said.

Because Aaron already felt safe with Misa's slave seal. He allowed Misa to take another room for her to sleep in, not the same room as Aaron. For the cost itself, Aaron would pay for it.

There was a knock on Aaron's bedroom door, Misa was right behind it. She asked about Aaron's condition that morning without daring to open the door.

Surprisingly, Aaron opened the door and stood right in front of Misa, complete with a t-shirt and jacket, and long pants full of pockets.

At first glance, Aaron's appearance with shades of black clothing made him seem so mysterious, as well as strong. However, the half-face mask was still on his face, preventing anyone from knowing Aaron's identity.

"Starting today, you have to call me Lewis. I don't want to take any risks."

"Yes, Mr. Lewis."

"Just Lewis."

Misa cleared her throat. She was ready with her own suit of clothes, shorts and a white T-shirt. A glimpse of it made her bras faintly exposed. Still, Aaron didn't care much about that.

Aaron took a step with Misa following close by. Aaron's purpose today was to visit some shops to buy or sell items. As he had always wanted, he wanted to buy a lot of MP Crystals to increase his MP capacity.

Rows of item shops began to open their goods. The shopkeepers and salesmen were calling out to the city people to trade in their shops, but Aaron was confused as to where he should visit.

"Do you want to buy items, Lewis?" asked Misa, Aaron cleared his throat in response.

"I know a good place for you. I have an acquaintance who owns an item shop. I think his items are pretty complete."

Aaron was quite helpful with Misa. He let Misa lead the way to the shop she was referring to, which was located right in the middle of a row of item shops. There, Aaron saw many people visiting the shop.

"Bernard!" greeted Misa, waving with a smile.

"Woah. How is it going, Misa? Did you come to buy more TP Elixir?" asked Bernard, the shop owner.

"I don't have the money to buy it right now."

"By the way, I came with my friend. He's Lewis and he's looking for a certain item. You have a full range of items, right?" asked Misa, confirming.

"Among the other merchants, only my shop sells the most complete items."

Aaron smiled, happy to hear the man's confidence. He walked past a few people who were looking at the other items displayed inside the glass table.

Arriving in front of Bernard, Aaron gasped at the sight of the MP Crystal displayed before him, neatly stored inside the glass table.

"What level is this?" asked Aaron, pointing at the MP crystal on the glass table.

"That's the third level."

"Do you have anything higher?" asked Aaron.

"I have Level four and five MP Crystals. But, the price is much higher than the third level."

"How much?"

"MP Crystals Lv. 4 is around 35000 RL, while Lv. 5 is 50000 RL."

Aaron nodded. He asked Bernard to bring the MP Crystals Lv. 4 and Lv. 5 to him. Bernard gladly did so.

In total, he had three pieces of Lv.4 MP Crystals and four pieces of Lv. 5. Bernard explained that one Level 4 MP Crystal was able to increase MP capacity by 15000 while a Level 5 MP Crystal added 25000 MP capacity.

'If I buy those seven MP Crystals, I'll probably get an additional 145000 MP capacity,' Aaron replied.

'I'm really lucky, the amount of RL I have is enough to buy all seven MP Crystals.'

"How's that? Are you interested in buying one of-"

"I'll buy them all," Aaron interrupted, startling Bernard into widening his eyes.

"All of them?"

Aaron also asked Bernard to provide five EXP Elixir level 4. The level 4 EXP elixir was able to increase the amount of EXP by 10000. Aaron needed 50000 exp to level up. When it happened, his MP capacity would increase until it was full.

"Alright. I'll provide everything."

The young man turned to the side, asking Misa about the TP elixir. Misa said she needed 10000 TP to level up. But, the Level 3 TP Elixir cost 15000 RL. Currently, she didn't have the money for it.

Without hesitation, Aaron passed the TP Elixir he got from the previous raid to Misa. It wasn't third-level TP Elixir, but second- and first-level. Even so, the amount was plenty enough that it could help Misa's talent gain Ascension.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Consider it as your reward for leading me to this shop," Aaron explained.

Misa's cheeks suddenly turned bright red. Shyly, she accepted the TP Elixirs and started drinking them one by one. A TP panel appeared in front of Misa, indicating that her TP talent was full, waiting for Ascension.

"Thank you, Lewis," Misa said softly.

Aaron nodded. Not long after, Bernard arrived with the items Aaron needed. He added up the total price of the items, then showed Aaron the total price.

"Alright. I'll buy them all."

As usual, Aaron stretched his hand forward to be scanned by the digital payment box. The successful transaction panel appeared in front of Aaron.

[Transaction Successful]

[Item:]

[3 MP Level 4 Crystal]

[4 MP Crystal Level 5]

[5 Elixir EXP Level 4]

[Price: 380000 RL]

[Buyer: Aaron]

"Thank you for your generosity," Bernard said.

Aaron cleared his throat. He crushed each MP Crystal that he had bought carefully. The notification panel of the additional MP capacity was displayed before Aaron, the amount matching his wish.

[MP Capacity +145000]

[Total MP Capacity: 76000/221000]

Misa gasped, not expecting Aaron to have such a large amount of MP capacity. Still, after she remembered Aaron's high rank talent, it was only natural for him to need a lot of MP capacity from the average adventurer.

Not only MP Crystals, but he also drained the EXP Elixir he had purchased. Again, a notification panel appeared to inform Aaron that he had leveled up.

[EXP +50000]

[DING! Congratulation on Leveling Up]

[Level 69 -> Level 70]

[DING! The Love Relationship feature has been unlocked] Enjoy exclusive content from empire

[Hosts can form official love relationships with other adventurers]

[Official couples can share inventory and house furniture]

[Both partners must be at level 70 or above to use the Love Relationship feature]

"Woah, congratulations on getting to level 70. That's an intermediate adventurer level."

"Thank you. But, seeing this feature, I was reminded of someone. She's far away from this place," Aaron replied.

Misa realized that Aaron had someone he was in love with, she threw away her thoughts of wishing she could be with Aaron forever.

"Really? I wish she could come up to this floor and meet you."

"Actually, she's in the Earth Core Tower. I don't know when I can meet her."

"What's that woman's name?"

"Natasha."
