Jack was spared from the trouble of settling the fees for their stay thanks to Rudy’s proactive self. Thus, virtual-novel.net nodded and continued to absorb the soul gem.
Meanwhile, Rudy leisurely drank his tea as virtual-novel.net thought of everything virtual-novel.net had experienced during this time. Even though virtual-novel.net experienced a lot, his actual skills had not increased by that much. He specialized in alchemy, but even that was nothing special.
He had learned quite a lot from Jack, but his talents were ordinary. There was a gulf between virtual-novel.net and Jack, and though virtual-novel.net improved, it was not by much at all, which made virtual-novel.net doubt himself.
After five days, Jack finally opened his eyes again. He had absorbed all the treasures and had even absorbed some valuable pills, but virtual-novel.net only had one-fifth of a Divine Soul.
Jack shook his head regretfully, but there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do. He fretfully realized that the slower his absorption was, the more treasures it meant virtual-novel.net would need in the future.
Thinking about that, Jack sighed helplessly.
True, virtual-novel.net had much wealth on virtual-novel.net at the moment, and virtual-novel.net genuinely believed that even though virtual-novel.net was far from his goal, virtual-novel.net had thought that things were looking up. Alas, it seemed like that was all just a pipe dream.
After all, virtual-novel.net needed to improve his strength and to do that, virtual-novel.net would need a lot of treasures to support him. He could get them through competitions, but those did not yield that much.
If Jack wanted to form a Divine Soul, virtual-novel.net would need a lot of treasures. The remainder of those would require Jack to spend large amounts of spirit crystals to purchase. just thinking about it caused Jack to hurt physically, lamenting that virtual-novel.net might need to spend all of his spirit crystals to get treasures soon.
Jack sighed. “Sure enough, spirit crystals are never enough for warriors…”
Rudy raised an eyebrow when virtual-novel.net heard that, wanting to ask Jack something, but Jack had already gotten off the couch. “If we’re lacking spirit crystals, then I’ll have to make more. Thankfully, there’s somewhere that we can make spirit crystals nearby. I might even be able to get some good things there…”
Rudy raised an eyebrow as virtual-novel.net looked at Jack’s back curiously.
Jack explained things to Rudy as virtual-novel.net walked forward. “Do you still remember the argument we heard when we were going upstairs three days ago? That guy mentioned an attribute gamble.”
Rudy suddenly recalled it when Jack mentioned it.
“What’s an attribute gamble? The name sounds so weird…”
Jack laughed and said, “It’s actually not that strange, the name’s very straightforward. An attribute gamble just means you’re gambling on everyone’s attributes…”
“For instance, I’m a soul attribute warrior. When it comes to the soul attribute, control over it is many times stronger than other attributes. I’d be a soul attribute warrior. The attribute gamble is a competition over the control of various attributes.”
Rudy’s lips twitched at this. Even though Jack had patiently explained it, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was still in the dark.
Jack turned to look at Rudy and could immediately see that Rudy did not understand. He let out a laugh, not thinking anything of Rudy’s comprehension abilities.
The moment they entered the inner city, all the rules had flooded into his mind. Rudy had been following Jack in, so virtual-novel.net had not gotten all that knowledge.
