Scion of Time Gaming System! - Chapter 65

Marvin left the black market with the items necessary to create talismans stored in his spatial treasure. Celeste followed him with her eyes. It was only when he left the street and was no longer in view, did she move her gaze away. From her actions, one could see the respect and longing she held towards Marvin.

Celeste bent down to close down her rented stall. In her heart, she was afraid that words might have already reached the ears of the Gale family and that they have dispatched experts to come after her.

Therefore, she packed up whatever was left and left the black market as fast as possible.

In the black market, the city guards and police won’t do shit to help her but outside the black market, the same couldn’t be said. Even the people from the upper district don’t act wantonly in the lower-district in public. So how would people from the middle district dare to kidnap her in public?

After leaving the black market, Marvin came to a small alley. He dropped his blood on the pouch he got from Dale and became its owner. He excitedly poured his magic power to view the content inside the pouch but he found out that he has been played big time.

The shitty pouch was filled to the brims with various sex items. Some so unique that he hasn’t ever seen in his entire life take. He wasn’t gonna use second-hand sex toys as they carried a risk of inflicting sexual diseases so he tossed them all aside. Beneath the 10 or so sex toys, he saw various sets of luxurious bras, dresses, and sexy lingeries with price tags still on them.

Even the cheapest of them was worth 10000 fed cash.

“Dale must have bought these for his mistresses. Sadly for him, I get to benefit!” Marvine exclaimed in joy. He decided to gift these to his women and suitable ones to his sister and mother.

Beneath the lingerie and underwear, the real treasure laid. Noticing this, a smile appeared on Marvin’s face. There were at least 100000 Fed Cash. Moreover, he also saw a rank-10 Lava mice beast core. This could sell for 40000 to 50000 Fed Cash.

After storing the items in his spatial ring, he tossed the pouch in the gutter. Dale’s family might have a way to track this pouch and Marvin wasn’t taking any chances.

After cleaning up his track, he took off the mask, stored it inside his spatial ring, went around the corner, and he then took a cab and went to the other side of the city.

Buying items in the black market was extremely profitable but selling wasn’t. Although tax can be evaded by selling items in the black market, the price of the item itself is too low, and finding a golden chicken that will pay a handsome amount is too hard.

The competition of merchants in the black market was too fierce!

Seeling items there was a big loss. No doubt, Marvin wasn’t foolish enough to sell his rank-4 salamander core in the black market. Hence, he went to a legal store.

[Mystic Shop]

That was the name of the most honest magical item shop in the lower-district. The building was decorated with flowery luxurious patterns. That’s what a normal human will think. However, Marvin with his inspect ability found out that each of these flowery designs was defensive and offensive magical rune designs.

‘Once activated, even I would be put in danger. No… I’ll die!’ He thought while standing before the huge, round building.

Since barely a year ago, a store as big as this one existed in the middle of the Southern region of the lower-district and he had never visited it. The first rule of this store was, “If you order something, purchase it. If you have something good to sell, sell it. However, if you’re here to loiter around freely then get ready to regret it.”

The store does not allow people to loiter around freely. Those who do are blacklisted and thrown out of the store. That’s not all. If you want to sell something then it must be above 10k Fed Cash otherwise, you’ll be blacklisted. Similarly, if you want to buy something, the trade begins from 10k no less.

Rumors have it that it faced problems with many famous families because of these ridiculous rules yet each time it came out on top. Plus, the famous families actually had to bend their backs and apologize for troubling this shop.

No one knew who the owner of this shop was but everyone was certain that it was a man in power. Otherwise, how could the shop remain stable after hogging everyone’s business and having a face-off with influential families?

The store sells various magical items. Most are not found in other shops. Hence, it was the most popular shop in the lower district.

The Internet has it that this store even sells magical beasts as a pet but Marvin didn’t know as he never had met the requirements to enter this store. But now, he did.

Without any further adieu, he entered the Mystic Shop. The atmosphere of the shop was very comfy. With pleasant light colors and an enchanting yet simple design, the shop looked neither luxurious nor simple. It was bursting with an aura of mystery, and ambient music played in the background. He felt quite comfortable hearing it. He wasn’t the only one. The other customer and the thousands of magical beast shared the same feeling

‘It’s really true, there are beast’s inside the store. Hmm, the music is designed to calm the magical beasts,’ He thought with a mystified expression. It was very strange for him to see that a place like this existed within the lower district. The lower district was a haven for humans, a place where magical beast can’t enter but this store was actually housing hundreds of magical beast.

However, all of them were locked inside metallic cages and he could see that many safety measures were set in place.

He also noticed that the ambient music was suppressing the savage nature of the magical beast. It was also helping customers feel less afraid of the beast and more intimate with them. They were acting tamed, after all. They looked no different than cute cats and dogs.

Although this was a rare sight, he looked away the moment he saw the price tag. Even the weakest of them cost 50000 platinum. “I don’t have much to waste but later I’ll buy some as a guard for my family,” he thought before walking away.

Walking around the store for nature-type elemental heart blood, Marvin drew a lot of attention to himself. Other customers were impressed by his handsome appearance. Especially, his eyes. At first, they were kinda dull but after he started to use Time Halt, the color of his eyes has changed to silvery. They looked no different than jewels in the eyes of some customer.

“Young mistress, what has caught your attention?” A guard asked a small girl from the house of Twilight.

“Lin, if you get the chance then buy his eyes. They look lovely, just like the moon in the skies,” Estrecta said.

“Cough, young miss, I don’t think that person would be interested in the deal,” Lin replied.

He knew that Estrecta was kinda weird but didn’t mind it and served her with all his heart. She was like an innocent empty shell that lacks common sense.

“Go and give it a try. If he refuses to sell his eyes then maybe we can kidnap him?” Estrecta said before walking away to a nearby furry creature and then she sat before it and looked it in the eyes.

Lin rubbed the back of his head and walked to do what his young miss said.

Marvin didn’t mind this attention that came from the other customers who were impressed by his appearance. He already knew that he was getting more handsome by the day but the change in his eyes was the most mysterious.

However, it was nothing to worry about. Because of ability, a flame type ability user may have red eyes and red hair even if his parent has black hair and black eyes. Thus, no one will get suspicious because of his silvery eyes. They will just link it to him possessing an ice or special type ability.

As he was trying to locate and reach the elements heart blood section of the mystic shop, a beauty with plump breast, two cat ears, mesmerizing round and big eyes, a beautiful fluffy tail, nice legs covered by stockings, and a maid costume came before him and jovially said in an innocent voice, “Hello master, how can I help you?”

Believe it or not, the Internet has it that the owner of the Mystic Shop has a weird fetish, and every female sales worker in the shop dresses as a sexy maid, a woman on the beach, or an enticing servant with floral clothes. Similarly, male workers wear panda, bear, and other fluffy animals costume.

Peoples love it and this is one of the strategies that made the shop popular.

Certainly, Marvin didn’t have any such thoughts of witnessing this before he came here. He was a gentleman, after all.

“Umm, little cat sister, I am looking for nature-type elements heart blood ranging from rank-8 to rank-10,” Marvin said while calmly staring at her plumpy god gifted curves and slender body. Although she was an enticing catgirl, he was able to control his sexual desires.
