Re: Evolution Online

"How do you have two dungeon crystals in your possession?" 

"You… are you a rune grandmaster by any chance? No. No. No. That is not possible. For someone born from a lower realm, it is impossible to learn the runic arts!"

"Then did you find them somewhere on earth? But something like that also should not be possible?" 

Tilia started blurting out random things as her mind raced in a frenzy to somehow make sense of the impossible scenario in front of her. But no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't digest it. The hateful guy in front of her was also not helping.

"Can you, for once, just openly explain everything?"

Without answering her, Liam, once again, reached into his pocket, and this time, he did not just take out another single dungeon crystal. Instead, he took out 10!

"First, make the trade, and then we can talk leisurely. I am sure that this is more than enough payment for what I am asking." He calmly said.

It might look like Liam had done this impulsively, but in truth, he had thought a lot about this. In fact, it was a no-brainer. 

Was he going overboard? Was he attracting a lot of attention to himself?

Yes! 

But their entire planet was on the verge of complete annihilation. 

In just a matter of days, the whole was going to be swarming with possibly Level 200s or Level 300s, monsters that would be completely out of his reach.

So it was time to take matters to the extreme. It was either go big or get slaughtered!

When pushed into a corner, even a nobody, especially a nobody who has nothing to lose, can become extremely dangerous. Liam wanted to teach the divine temple priestess this lesson.

He might have been dealt a shitty hand of cards, but he still had his trump card left, and he was going to go all in with that trump card.

The only problem was… using this hand required him to get another turn, just one more turn, and then victory would be his!

Liam coldly gazed at the fairy, wondering what her decision would be. Exactly for this reason, he went above and beyond and offered something that she couldn't refuse. 

He could have possibly got this done with even five dungeon crystals, but that would be rolling a die and taking a chance. He did not have that luxury at the moment. 

He needed to make the play that was 100% going to win!

Meanwhile, the other party looked like she actually suffered a minor heart attack. Tilia dazedly blinked, her gaze still on Liam's hand.

She watched him walk over to a nearby desk. 

He took out the ten whole dungeon crystals and placed them one after another on the desk.

The fairy followed him as if she was hypnotized.

"One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten." Her trembling lips counted out loud each dungeon crystal, and her eyes nervously darted from start to finish, once again going back to the beginning all over again. 

She then started counting all over again.

Her crystal blue eyes twinkled as she gazed at the precious items in front of her, even forgetting to take a breath. She had never seen so many precious items at the same time in her entire life.

She did belong to a traditional merchant fairy clan, but her status in her family was far from being able to access so much wealth.

Thanks to certain people, she was closer to being forgotten and pushed aside. It was also because of them that she was currently in this lower realm, doing something that was never going to amount to anything and only get her a bad name.

However… all of that was before today.

Tilia gasped several times as she looked at the neatly lined dungeon cores that were going to blow up her life completely. It was yet to be seen whether this would be in a good way or a bad way.

But no matter what, she was not going to let this opportunity slip by. This was once in a lifetime jackpot, and she was determined to grab onto it and come out on top.

She stared at the dungeon cores for some more time as several plans formed in her head. She then looked up at Liam with a new light in her eyes.

Tilia bit her trembling lips and opened her mouth. This was it. She made her decision. "I will make the trade happen." She said.

The risk she was taking here was immense, and she probably would be subjected to severe scrutiny and a lot of unwanted attention, but in the end, it would all be worth it.

The dungeon crystal cores alone would compensate for every damn thing.

But it was not just that. Tilia's gaze flickered as she studied the human being standing in front of her. This man was not ordinary.

She already knew it in her heart. 

She knew it when he had stepped into the magic shop as a Level 80 evolved human with a fully formed mana core.

She knew it when she had suffered an unreasonable loss in something as common as a guild battle.

She knew it when she had witnessed his special skill that could summon soul entities.

If anything, today's event was just another reminder of the same thing. This person standing in front of her was definitely not ordinary.

This person could single-handedly change everything. The world that was doomed to be destroyed by this wave of isons might not end up with that fate.

In a way, helping him right now might even be worth more than the dungeon crystals in the future.

Thinking about these things, Tilia did not hesitate any longer. She confidently approved and signed the deal. "Good luck, you crazy bastard. You are going to need it."
