Re: Evolution Online

Huff. Huff. Huff. Luna panted and rushed at top speed. At first, she had been extremely excited that she found a big mana core. Personally, she would have loved to nibble on it and swallow the yummy thing. 

However, her master reacted differently. He was happy in the beginning, but slowly his expression changed into a bad one. Now he was sitting on top of her without uttering a single word.

The little fox was very nervous. She could sense that something big was going to happen. 

Was her master going to make a move against the weird insects? She wondered what he was planning and flew forward without holding back as fast as she could.

The journey to the third hive hill might have taken around a couple of days when they first arrived here, but the journey back was way shorter. 

Luna made sure of it. She pushed herself to the extreme and brought Liam back to the base before the next day dawned. 

Her figure blurred and flashed at lightning speed non-stop, and in the end, she only used ten hours to get back to their guild's territory.

And the moment they entered the guild base, their first stop was none other than the magic shop. Liam rushed inside the familiar inconspicuous building that stood in front of him, from which a pillar of light ascended to the sky. 

"Get me Tilia." He did not stand on ceremony and immediately ordered one of the fairies in the shop.

Naturally, his arrival also did not go unnoticed. Without even the fairy taking a step inside, an ethereal being fluttered her wings casually and glided toward him.

"Hello, Mr. Liam. My, my, what an impatient man you are… Didn't we just meet, and you are looking for me already? Couldn't be without seeing me?" She coquettishly laughed and batted her long silvery eyelashes at Liam. 

The fairy seemed to be in an extremely good mood today. Particularly, she seemed to enjoy the aura of hatred and desperation coming out of Liam. 

The mirth in her eyes, the smirk on her lips, and the playful teasing her body exuded with every move she made, everything screamed a big 'I told you so!'

The last time they had met, Tilia had requested Liam several times to sell the world seed in his possession, but the arrogant man had ignored her. And now...

'I knew you would be back!'

Tilia leaned forward on the desk and lazily placed her palm on her cheeks, tilting her head to the side and revealing the top of her charming creamy white curves that seemed to sparkle every now and then magically.

She was also wearing an alluring dress that clung to her body, accentuating her figure and adding to her charm. Though she was not as seductive as Shen Yue or as burning hot as Alex, she had her own pure charm that could send countless men dizzy.

However, at the moment, no matter what she did, Liam's gaze remained cold and indifferent.

Tilia pouted on seeing this and continued talking with a giggle. "What, Mr. Liam? Having some trouble, are we? You are not talkative like usual. You seem very serious today." 

Though she was asking him this, she already knew the answer to her question, after all, who wasn't familiar with the isons in the myriad realms? 

They were nasty creatures that were a plague on any realm they invaded. They were tough and stubborn to get rid of, and if one failed to get rid of them, they had the ability to gobble up the entire realm. 

However, the true monstrosity of these isons lay in… 

Tilia smirked as she wondered if the human being in front of her had finally managed to discover their secret.

"Tell me, Mr. Liam. What can I do for you today? Please feel free to speak your mind, and don't hold back." She mockingly said.

"Hmmm…" Liam nodded, making up his mind. Naturally, he did not pay any attention to the vain efforts of the fairy to rile him up. He had far more important things on his mind.

All through the journey here, he thought about various ways that he could come out of this nightmarish doomsday that loomed over him and everyone he loved, but there really seemed to be only one path for him from here onward. 

It was an explosive option, but he decided to do it. 

Liam took a deep breath and calmly looked at the fairy. "Is there a teleportation portal in the magic shop that would allow me to go to another magic shop in a different territory?"

"Hmmm… Yes?"

"What would it take for me to use that teleportation portal?"

"Oh?" The fairy's lips curved upward. 

Now she understood why this human being was here. "Wait. Wait. Mr. Liam. I only said that such a teleportation portal was available. I didn't say that you would be able to use it."

Tilia giggled.

"Unfortunately, it is only available for store workers to use. We do make exceptions for our VIP customers. However, I am regretful to inform you that you are not yet our VIP customer."

'You want to solve your problem so easily? Dream on!' She laughed inwardly.

Liam, however, remained unfazed as he had already expected something like this. "Is there any other teleportation portal that I could use?"

"Of course. As I said, you could use the magic shop's teleportation channels once you have enough reputation with our shop. Besides that, you could also use guild teleportation channels and move from one guild to another."

"Guild teleportation channels?"

Tilia flashed a kind smile. She couldn't wait to explain things to him. "Mmmm… Unfortunately, Mr. Liam, I am afraid this option is also not possible. For a guild to have access to its own teleportation channels, they first need to be upgraded to the maximum basic grade." 

"But at this moment, there is not a single guild in this world that satisfies this condition. So once again, no teleportation portals for you." The fairy clicked her tongue sympathetically and smirked.

'Come on! Come on! Beg me for it!' She was pretty sure that the human being was desperate at the moment, so she really wanted to see him beg for her help.

On the other hand, Liam, surprisingly, was still calm. With his cold gaze fixated on the cheerful fairy in front of him, he reached into his pockets to take something out.

"I wish to make a trade."

"Ho Ho? Trade? Are you finally ready to shell out some Orichalcum? But Mr. Liam, you would have to trade several tons of Orichalcum just to-" 

Tilia batted her eyelashes and fully prepared to mock him, but the next second, she suddenly froze. She did not even finish her words as she stared unblinkingly at his hand.

This was because… the thing which Liam had taken out was not an Orichalcum metal chunk… it was a dungeon crystal?
