Chapter 285: Shopping, Coincidence
"Stop holding back."
*Pat....*
"Mhfff...Haaah..."
Erix pushed aside Elina who was above him, and got up.
After cleaning himself, he left the room and met up with Rin, Lilith, and Aria one hundred kilometers away at a deep gorge with a raging river below.
There were other people there, but not alive.
"They sent eleven people this time?" Erix was startled upon seeing the number of dead bodies.
"One Empyrean-order for me," Lilith rolled her eyes. "As if that could be enough, especially after I just got a direct boost in my soul."
"Haha, I doubt they will send more hunters anymore," Rin chuckled. "It's not like they got a factory that can produce Empyrean-order hunters."
"But they didn't hold back on Royal-order hunters," Aria pursed her lips, softly sighing. "They so badly want to kill us."
"And too bad they can't," Lilith smiled. "Alright, let's go. Our break time is small, so let's finish the shopping. I also got a message from that staff lady. It seems that the guy who brought those pearls is going to sell them back."
"So the only thing left is to leave and get a Death Root?" Erix grinned. "Great."
"Come, let's directly teleport to the city, haha. I can easily do that now," Erix snapped his finger, marking Lilith, Rin, and Aria before they vanished and directly appeared at the city's silver square plaza.
"I can mark a location and directly teleport there. I don't know the limit of the range, but as you can see, 100 kilometers is easy."
"But it costs more Prana for longer distance as usual. This teleportation cost me 1000 Prana," Erix added.
"If you can properly utilize this application of space and turn it into a bonafide skill, it would cost less Prana and have more effectiveness," Lilith smiled.
"Yep. I'll create one later when we start focusing on creating skills."
...
First, everyone went to a prominent skill store and bought passive skills.
Rin, Erix, and Aria bought five Tier-5 passive skills each, overhauling their previous set.
Although they still bought the passive skills that granted them raw stats as they wanted, the Tier-4 and Tier-5 passive skills were also inherently different.
Each of the Tier-5 passive skills that gave raw stats also gave a passive effect related to 'stats' due to Prana and advanced magic.
One of them was Strength Mass. This passive skill increased Erix's Strength stat by 300, along with the effect of giving more condensed mass to his muscles.
Rin and Erix couldn't hold back their laughter.
Erix walked towards him and patted his shoulder while holding back his laughter, but a smile was still present on his face as he said, "Forget about Runia. She is not good for health."
"You two are pretty famous," Hamsimp grunted and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rin and Erix, "I've forgotten about Runia. If you want these pearls, I'll sell them to you at the current market price."
"I only want one," Erix said and laughed. "Also, how about you take a better name?"
"What's wrong with my name?" Hamsimp frowned.
"Eh, nothing wrong, but Hamson sounds better. What do you say?" Erix grinned.
"That does sound better, and I also wanted to change my name after leaving," Hamsimp muttered. Shaking his head, he wryly said, "Whatever. Give me the money and take the pearl."
After saying that, he turned to the manager, "Here, the rest of the pearls. Let's go with your deal, but give me a bonus according to you."
"Good decision, sir."
After buying the Vibrant Virisal Pearl, the group left.
"Why did that name make you laugh?" Aria curiously asked.
"Is it related to another term in your world like sugar mommy?" Lilith asked with a chuckle.
"The word is Simp. As for its meaning, that guy was a live example of it," Rin said.
"He was trying too hard to get her attention and affection, despite knowing deep down she would reject him."
"Oh..."
Lilith and Aria understood.
Meanwhile, Hamsimp returned to the mansion and returned the money to his elder brother.
"I am leaving. I probably won't ever return here because I want to start a new life. I'll also leave Abyss on my own."
"What? Are you serious?!"
"I am serious. And one more thing. My name will be Hamson from now on. Tell father and mother about this because I don't want to say farewell to them."
"Uh, it's fine. I want to see how long it takes them to notice that you're gone."
"Fuck you. I am leaving."
"Have a good journey, brother."
