Death... and me - Chapter 2909: More Pills
The twins’ registration was completed without any issues this time. Yet, Rean and Roan could feel with their souls that a few very strong Spiritual Senses were on them. Even though Glimmel said it was probably a problem with the system, the Gondel Clan still kept their eyes on them.
The twins didn’t mind that, though. It wasn’t like they intended to cause trouble for Gondel anyway. Besides, they don’t need to worry about their cultivation energies being blocked since the Control Orb is responsible for it.
In the end, Rean and Roan got separated rooms, although they were just besides each other. As much as they didn’t like the other’s company, it wouldn’t be a good idea to stay too far away either. The Control Orb was pretty much the only thing that fits in that spatial space at the moment, so the twins couldn’t use their old method of entering their Dimensional Realm to use the system’s abilities.
Before leaving, both Rean and Roan received a Communication Device each, very similar to the ones they saw the members of the Gondel Clan using so far.
‘This thing is quite impressive. The visual information works just like any other smartphone from Earth. However, it can also send the images directly into our minds through our Spiritual Sense,’ Rean commented. ‘It also has a much greater processing power and signal range. My communication badges back in Lisan Universe look more like some old relics compared to these beauties.’
Roan only took a quick look and put the CD away. Right after, he looked at the worker who helped them finish the registration of their rooms. “Sir, how can we earn Spiritual Stones for our cultivation?”
“Hahaha!” The worker immediately laughed out loud. “You aren’t even in the First Stage of the Body Transformation Realm, and yet you want Spiritual Stones? You are putting the cart before the horses, you know?”
He still explained, though. “You can find all the information in your CD. Well, simply put, there are many tasks you can get with to help the Gondel Clan. For kids like you who don’t even have cultivations yet, the best bet is to get the menial tasks, like simple deliveries around the clan or do some cleaning. A day of work can be rewarded with a Rank One Spiritual Stone.”
Rean and Roan immediately discarded that idea. Only a single Rank One Spiritual Stone was of no use for them. If Rean and Roan started to cultivate right here and right now, they would be able to absorb the same equivalent of Spiritual Energy from the environment in thirty minutes or so. “Is there any faster way of doing it?”
The worker shrugged. “If you were in the Energy Gathering Realm, you could get some simple missions to collect some herbs or weak Demon Beasts’ materials. Those ones would give you three to five Spiritual Stones in a day.”
Roan shook his head again. “Any other way to get even more in a short amount of time. I’m talking about at least a few hundred in a day. If they were Rank Two Spiritual Stones or higher, then even better.”
“A few… hundreds? Higher rank Spiritual Stones? You must be dreaming, right?” The worker asked, not finding it so funny anymore. He wondered if Roan had some problem in the head. “The only other way would be gambling or the arena.”
The twins’ eyes immediately lit up. “Thank you, sir.”
They quickly left the registration office after that while Rean checked the CD for information about the arena. It wasn’t hard to find. Their CD had pretty much everything related to the Gondel Clan and the Travil Region. It even had a connection to the rest of the country, so they could get a picture of the situation if they wanted.
Rean ignored that for now, though. ‘So, here’s what the arena is about. The guy mentioned gambling, too. In this gambling thing, you can bet on the outcome of battles in the arena. Simply put, we can fight and bet on ourselves.’
‘The problem would be the suspicion generated if we show our real abilities,’ Roan mentioned.
With their actual strength, Rean and Roan wouldn’t fear anyone below the Fifth Realm, Core and Soul Fusion. Their soul truly made up for this huge gap in cultivation even though they were only in the Energy Gathering, which was the second realm. But then again, if they went to the arena and began to trash Core Formation Realm opponents, any idiot would be able to tell that something wasn’t right about the twins. Besides, the twins were hiding their Energy Gathering Realm cultivation, so, in everyone’s eyes, they have no cultivation yet. How could they possibly be doing such a thing?
‘Hum…’ Rean continued looking into the CD’s information. ‘Energy Gathering Realm missions give Rank One Spiritual Stones. Surprisingly, you can already acquire Rank Two Spiritual Stones with Foundation Establishment Realm missions. Hum? Hey, I found something interesting…’
Rean and Roan immediately went to their rooms and closed themselves inside. They only came out once in a while to go eat or to perform the clan’s tasks that were obligatory for all new members, regardless of their age. Just as the worker mentioned, a day of tasks from the clan provided a single Rank One Spiritual Stone, which Rean and Roan put together. They purposely took those tasks even when there was no need, managing to gather ten Spiritual Stones in five days together.
By now, they released a little of the suppression on their cultivation, allowing the others to see they were in the First Stage of the Body Transformation Realm. Although that was very fast, it wasn’t anything unprecedented in the Gondel Clan.
After ten days went by, Rean and Roan had officially acquired twenty Rank One Spiritual Stones. No one would find it strange. Besides, twenty Spiritual Stones was exactly what they needed.
Finally, they went to the Gondel Clan market, following the directions Rean found in the Gondel Clan network. They entered a pill store and were received by the attendant there. “Hello, how can I help you?”
Rean quickly took their Spiritual Stones out. “I want two Low-Level Energy Breakthrough Pills.”
