Conquering The Game's World - Chapter 142 Magnus Gloves!

Chapter 142  Magnus Gloves!

“I’m here to exchange! Can I see the catalogue?” Luis asked as he observed his surroundings and the items displayed on the shelves.

When the old man heard that Luis wanted to exchange, he nodded. Then gave him a deep look, still wondering why this student gave him a familiar feeling when it should be his first day in the academy.

He went to the counter and tapped on it twice. The next second, a hologram screen popped up, displaying an extensive list of items along with their images.

“Take your time to read it. If you need to ask anything, just call me. My name is Zeth.”

“Okay, Mr. Zeth,” Luis said while responding with a nod, and started browsing through the list.

A few minutes later, he sighed while thinking, ‘As expected of the Oracle Academy, they have a diverse range of items. However, the thing I want is not on this list and there are no expensive items over the price of 100k merit points.’

“Mr. Zeth!”

Luis called out, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seconds later, Zeth came towards him and asked, “Have you decided on your exchange?”

Luis shook his head and inquired. “Are these all the items here?”

Zeth paused for a moment. “… There is another catalogue. But the items in it are all the expensive ones. So, it’s very rare that someone exchanges from it.”

Luis’ eyes glinted. “Can I see it?”

Zeth nodded and placed his palm on the counter. Then another screen popped up in front of them. Luis didn’t waste any time and started browsing through it.

‘There it is!’ A faint smile appeared on his face when he found the item he was looking for.

“Mr. Zeth, I want to exchange my points for the Mephinin Metal.”

“Mephinin?” Zeth arched his eyebrows and, while pointing at the price, he said, “Just so you know, it’s 750k Merit Points.”

“I know, so can I exchange already?” Luis asked with some impatience.

‘Is he the top scorer of the entrance exam? I heard he achieved the hidden condition. No wonder he has enough points.’ Zeth thought in his mind and said with a business-like smile, “Please wait a moment. I’ll fetch it now.”

“Sure!”

Luis responded with a smile as he continued browsing through the catalogue.

A few minutes later, Zeth came out with a wooden container in his hand. Then Luis used his 750k points to exchange for it.

“Thanks for your purchase!”

Zeth smiled then, thinking of something, he asked, “Student, can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?”

“Was your father a student in this academy?”

“Yes, both my parents were.”

“Can you tell me your father’s name?”

“His name is Ronald Suarez.”

“Haha, no wonder I found you familiar! You look very much like your father.”

“Do you know him, Mr. Zeth?”

“Of course, I know him! When I just started working here, he often used to come here. Also, no need to be so formal. Just call me Uncle Zeth.”

Zeth was very enthusiastic about meeting his friend’s children. While Luis’ mind was somewhere else. He was eager to return to his dorm and start working on a project with the material he had just bought.

So, he gave his farewell to Zeth and made a promise to come here often. Swiftly leaving the exchange center, Luis returned to his dorm.

Back in his room, Alicia was still asleep. So, without disturbing her, he went inside his pocket space.

“Lily, start a new project. We will call it Magnus Gloves. Let’s aim to complete it before midnight.”

{Yes, Master~}

Luis opened the lid of the wooden container in his hand. Then, looking at the transparent liquid inside, a faint smile appeared on his face.

‘Mephinin Metal, also known as the transparent liquid metal. Finally, I can start working on it.’

When Luis remembered about Mephinin metal from the game and thought of his Lightning Element. One concept appeared in his mind to develop and further diversify his combat style. That was electromagnetism.

The next morning. Luis and Alicia were on their way to their class. When Alicia turned to look at Luis beside her and asked. “Until what time were you inside your Pocket Space?”

Last night when Alicia woke up, Lily told her that Luis was busy. She waited for him, but he didn’t even come out for dinner. In the end, she just took care of Ivy, and then after practicing for a while, she fell asleep again. This morning when she woke up, she found him sleeping beside her soundly.

Luis thought for a moment, then shaking his head, he said, “I don’t exactly remember the time, but it was quite late.”

“Oh? What were you doing, anyway? Is it another invention of yours?” Alicia asked with some curiosity.

When she saw him nod in affirmation. She immediately said, “Show me when you are done with it.”

“Well, it’s almost finished. I just need to do some tests and fine-tune it.”

“Then I am looking forward to it,” Alicia said with a smile as the two of them entered their classroom.

For the rest of the day, Luis was very bored sitting in his classroom. It’s not that he wasn’t interested in studying. The thing is, for the starting few days, it would only be introductory classes about different subjects. So that students could get a better understanding and make the choice most suitable for them.

After the classes were over, Luis along with Alicia and Diana were on their way to Professor Olivia’s office.

Diana looked at Alicia beside her in confusion and asked, “Why are you with us, Alicia? Did you also make some mistake?”

Alicia just gave a glance at her and said, “No reason.” Then she continued walking with an indifferent expression.

Diana was about to ask more questions when Luis slowed down his pace and said in a low voice. “She is just going to join in the fun and see me get punished.”

“Really? I didn’t know Alicia was such a naughty girl!” Diana exclaimed in disbelief.

Luis nodded with a chuckle and said, “Yes~ She is very naughty.”

Alicia, who was walking a little ahead, heard everything and her lips twitched in annoyance.
