Novel Bin Chapter 93 - 93
Unbeknownst to Clark, a beautiful avenger of justice has come alive to fly into a long crusade just to deliver judgment on our bored gamer\'s ass.
Because even at this very moment, our protagonist was still in innocent bliss while handpicking the next set of skills for his war arsenal.
"I want to purchase Summon Mastery, Corpse Detonation, Death Knight Sephtis and Legendary Mount Mariana, Nancy." Clark decided after a time.
He would have totally skipped Corpse Detonation but it was the requirement to get The Legendary Mount Mariana also. In the end, it really can\'t be helped at all.
"Affirmative, host. You only have 1 skill point left. Please choose wisely on how to spend it." Nancy announced. Clark nodded and inspected his character sheet with but a thought\'s command.

"I know, Nancy. I know. But thank you." Clark whispered and took another minute of complete silence.
\'Let that single point remain in case I need to pick an emergency skill in the future.\'
\'And it\'s also better that i could save my skill points once more before spending them all in one go the next time i reached the next tier of talent tree skills.\'
\'It\'s about time that I go to the next part of the plan.\' Clark nodded in approval.
"How many spirit stones do i have in my inventory, Nancy?"
"You have 5,129,797 spirit stones, host."
"Damn! Still short to buy one legendary technique or manual!" Clark cursed audibly.
To get one of the best products on the system shop, he would have to accumulate at least 10,000,000 spirit stones and let it all be converted into 1,000,000 shop points.
Other than this kind of trading, there was really no other way but to wish for the star and hope for shop points to rain from the heavens.
\'Tough luck! I don\'t think my solitary audience will allow a miraculous thing like that to happen right under his nose!\'
\'I think winning the lottery would be a lot simpler than all that.\' Clark shook his head and thought of a plan out of his predicament. He took only a minute or so before determining a fresh route to take.
"Can\'t I sell my items and loots directly to you, Nancy?" Clark asked.
"You need a system update for that, host." Nancy answered.
\'Just like always.\' Clark sighed.
"How much, Nancy?"
"A hundred thousand shop points, host."
\'FUCK ME! That\'s like a huge chunk of my spirit stones! One million of them in fact!\'
Clark wanted to cry in pain. But it did not take him long to consider that this was a worthy sacrifice that he needed to take.
"Do it, Nancy! Give me the upgrade!" Clark commanded more harsher than he would have liked but he was way too hurt to notice it. Not like the unfeeling system could feel anything in its current state.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy responded happily instead.
"System Upgrading...
1%
16%
89%
98%
100%
System successfully upgraded...
Sell Function is now available, host. You only have a remaining spirit stones of 4,129,797." Nancy completed with her notifications after merely 60 breaths of wait.
"Good. Now sell everything for me, Nancy. Leave only 1 sword, 1 bow, and 1 shield for my use." Clark said excitedly.
He knew that he was going to strike it rich today since magical beasts at Golden Core Realms would drop priceless beast cores that were truly very helpful for cultivation.
This beast core was filled with pure energy and he did not believe that the system would cheat him out of this indelible truth.
"Affirmative, host.
Selling Azure Wisps Corpses x99
Desert Draugr Corpses x99
Scaled Sirens Corpses x99
.
..
...
The system listed each corpse by batch of 99. Same happened to the loots of miscellaneous items like low grade weapons and armors that were confiscated from the city of Cresa.
Even the treasures brought about by the Monster Brigade were not rescued from our bored gamer\'s meticulous looting.
After more than 5 minutes of monotonous beeps, Nancy has finally stopped to give a verdict.
"You have gained 369,818 shop points from the exchange, host. Congratulations and please continue on working hard to reach your dreams and wishes!"
Nancy dutifully encouraged and the smile on her voice was pretty unmistakable.
"Thank you, Nancy! I couldn\'t have reached this far without you!" Clark threw a harmless praise away and smiled abundantly in place. He immediately checked his current shop points.

Shop Points: 369, 968

"Nice! The race for my first million is almost over! Hehehe! I will be unstoppable in this xianxia world after that!" Clark rejoiced loudly in the confines of his room.
He did not of course forget an important treasure from his recently emptied out inventory.
"Please convert my 4,129,797 spirit stones to shop points, Nancy." Clark instructed as he licked his lips in anticipation.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy promptly heeded Clark\'s orders.
"FLASH!" the screen before our good gamer\'s eyes refreshed to input new numbers from its recent stale form. It blurred but then cleared a second later to give this fresh set of data.

Shop Points: 782, 947

"Almost there. I\'m almost there." Clark intoned and there was a crazy look in his face for a moment.
The negative compulsion inside wished to escape the confines of his control even after experiencing nothing but the happiness of the present.
"SHIT! There it goes again!" Clark woke up from this extreme temptation and bit his lips until he drew blood from the force of his bite.
"CRACK!"
"CRACK!"
"CRACK!" Two fists clenched tightly and it announced a great deal of tension from the force that was made from this simple action alone.
"SIGH!"
"It\'s really hard to live with demons inside me!"
"And i thought that i had it safely caged before." Clark was dismayed as he contemplated the hidden silent impulses within his heart and soul.
One solid example of his grip breaking free was how he had dealt with the five members of the Monster Brigade.
\'In normal circumstances, i would have taken only their hearts out but... at that time, i don\'t think that they can be found in one portion alone at their makeshift burial grounds.\'
\'But at least I paid my faults when I resurrected them anew.\'
\'Still, from now on... all i could ever promise to my enemies is for them to rest in pieces.\' Clark took a deep breath as he realized the implications of these changes.
Although he could control the dark whispers of his mind when in stationary calm but the same could not be applied while he was engaged in battle.
He suspected that he would eventually lose his sanity if a fight were to occur for far too long than he would have liked.
\'Guess I should end it quickly rather than toy with my opponents next time.\' Clark ended with these thoughts because he knew that there was an incoming visitor right by his doorsteps.
"KNOCK!"
"KNOCK!"
"KNOCK!" The closed doors announced a life from beyond its gates.
"What is it, Lai Peng?" Clark asked out loud. There was no need to stand up and open the doors for himself because his predecessor, the poor Lu Chen, usually did this treatment towards the old man.
And besides, our bored gamer was also too lazy to entertain his good slave at the moment.
Especially after the presence of something evil and uncontrollably strong still lingered evidently at the back of his mind.
"I just want to inform you, master, that Mistress Wan Fei and Princess Ning Xi have gone out of the residence. They said that they wanted to know the lay of the land here in Nexus City. I tried to stop them but... I failed, master." Old Peng apologized from behind the double doors of Clark\'s room.
"The fault is not in you, Lai Peng. I expected that they would do that after they got here also." Clark mollified the feelings of disappointment out of his loyal servant.
"Did you send someone with them?" he asked thereafter.
"Yes, master. Two of your maidservants are with them." Old Peng replied. There was an evident relief that could be heard from his words.
It could be perceived from this alone that Clark was indeed successful in his aim.
"I see. Let me know once they\'ve returned, Lai Peng." Clark ended the conversation right here.
"Yes, master!" Old Peng responded and left at once to do what was asked of him.
There was no need to worry about the girls because they could handle themselves just fine. In fact, aside from Clark, Wan Fei was perhaps the strongest cultivator in the city right now.
"Now where was I in my Witcher game?" Clark quickly forgot about Wan Fei and Ning Xi altogether in order to spend some more hours in leisure.

"Hey, bitch! How much do I have to pay to ride you for one night?"
