Weapon seller in the world of magic

The crystal instantly disappeared from his hands after the confirmation and Allen became like a statue.

<strong>*Ding! The Android is absorbing the core energy from the Upgrade crystal.</strong>

<strong>*Ding! The Android goes into standby. Estimated time: 11 hours, 29 minutes, 42 seconds.</strong>

"Okay, 11 hours. Now, it's…" Mark took out his pocket watch and look at it. "4:21. So, I guess, by the time I wake up, it will be done."

Mark left Allen upstairs and came downstairs to open the shutter once again.

He then went to his seat to look at the new quest. "System, open Quest List."

"Hundred thousand gold?" Mark gasped in shock. The previous side quest was only completed quickly due to his luck in meeting Lin Xue. For the past 18 days, representing Lin Xue, Yao Ling continuously purchased the weapons according to the contract and Mark somehow managed to receive the upgrade crystal quicker than he thought.

But, a hundred thousand gold coins is a far bigger number. What if Lin Xue suddenly decided to stop sparring with Allen and end the contract? Then, no one can say how long it takes to accomplish the task.

Mark felt pressured by the quest. If the reward is any other firearm, he would have taken it easy but it was a graded weapon. He can't wait for years. So, Mark felt that he needed the sales to go up, which can only be possible by expanding the store.

Due to his increased share, Mark had about 2900 gold coins in his inventory. It was clear enough to buy two stores like these. But, the only issue here is, who will manage the store?

Due to the uniqueness of his weapons, Mark cannot trust someone and hand over the firearms. As for keeping Allen at the store, it was even more impossible for Mark to do that. It was then, something clicked in his mind.

"Wait a second. Instead of opening a store, how about I travel around like a merchant, sell the weapons in bulk to different stores and guilds? Hmm…" Mark thought it is a better idea but to implement that, he felt the modern weapons needed to become popular in public.

<strong>Jin Province, Eastern Yan, Phoenix Empire;</strong>

More than a thousand Spirit warriors ranging from 1-circle realm to 6-circle realm gathered at the camping ground, five kilometers away from the giant Red portal, filled with numerous cracks. It looked as if the portal will be destroyed at any moment.

Some of them are from guilds.

A part of them are representing the Jin clan, one of the 12 major noble clans of the Phoenix Empire and the rulers of Eastern Yan.

Some of them are from various minor clans within the region.

A few elites were sent by the Five Lakes sect, which is based in Jin Province.

More than a hundred soldiers came from the south following the second prince.

Another two hundred soldiers followed the General, who is in charge of the East.

And finally, hundreds of volunteers arrived, some to save their homeland while others to collect the corpses and make a fortune.

Everyone gathered at the place, mingling with each other while waiting for the orders.

In a tent, six-circle realm elites were having a meeting along with the lord of the region, Jin De.

"So, how many beasts are we expecting here?" Jin De asked the council formed by the elites.

A man with heavy armor from top to bottom spoke first, "Lord Jin, it is confirmed that this dungeon break is of Dragon grade, a threat to the whole Eastern Yan if it isn't stopped here."

Everyone turned their attention towards this man, Su Ling, also known as the General of the East.

Even though he's a commoner, his position is higher than most of them, except for Jin De. So, no one intercepted him while he was talking.

General Su Ling continued, "Considering the size of the portal, we can expect a seven-circle realm beast but it's already the fifth day and there's no appearance of the lower realm beasts. That states the Dungeon Overlord isn't just a simple 7-circle beast but is a beast king with intelligence."

"Beast King?" Everyone gasped in surprise upon hearing his words. They couldn't believe that they were going to face a mighty creature very soon. A couple of them regretted volunteering to attend this battle.

A beast in the wild or dungeon was divided into four categories based on the purity of the bloodline. First is an ordinary, second is Fierce, third is a King, and fourth is an Emperor.

Ordinary and Fierce beasts can be found anywhere. But, a Beast King is different. Because of over 80% purity in their bloodline, a beast king is not only a lot stronger compared to the beasts from the same realm but also can control the beasts of the lower realms around it with ease regardless of their species.

As for Beast Emperor, which has a hundred-percent pure bloodline, no one has even heard of them since three decades. And even if there's a Beast Emperor, the dungeon portal would be deep violet in color with a size of over a thousand meters.

Back to the meeting, General Su Ling informed about their estimation, "Usually, for a dungeon where Overlord is in seven-circle, there will be 3 to 5 Six-circle realm guardian protectors of the overlord, 12 to 20 Five-circle realm beasts, 60 to 100 Four-circle realm beasts, 240 to 400 Three-circle realm beasts, and 1200 to 2000 Two-circle realm beasts.

If the overlord is a beast king, we can expect the numbers on the peak side. And on our side, we indeed have good numbers if we concern the overall strength but if it's just 8 of us, then, I don't think it is sufficient to kill the overlord without making sacrifices."

A brief silence filled the room while Jin De was hit with a bitter reality. He was a vassal for the Emperor for nearly two decades and he was experienced enough to read the situation more clearly than others.

Jin De wasn't ready to lose the spirit warriors when these elites will focus on the overlord. He spoke to everyone, "If this beast king can control the beasts and decided to choose to wait until the last moment, then, we still have two days to spare. There's still time."

Turning his head towards the right, he then made a request to the Second Prince, "Your highness, can you send a letter to General Bai? If he faces the overlord, you eight can take care of the guardian protectors, and the remaining ones will be taken care of by our army."

Everyone also felt his suggestion is good. On the other hand, the Five Lake sect's two representatives were a bit displeased. Even though their sect leader is in the middle of cultivation and probably will not come, it would have still made them a bit happier if Jin De had asked about their Sect master instead of Bai Xun considering they are natives of this region.

On the other hand, the Second Prince's expression changed to that of a deep frown. "No, the Emperor has sent me personally to care of this problem. And so, I made a decision. I will face the overlord and hold him down until all of you take care of those guardian protectors."

"Alone?" Everyone was taken aback for sure but for some reason, they felt more at ease.

<strong>The next day morning;</strong>

<strong>Genesis store, Imperial city;</strong>

It was around dawn. Mark was sleeping soundly on his bed, not intending to open in the early morning hours before Yao Ling picks them up.

There was a holographic screen floating before him, where there's a notification popped up.

Allen was nowhere to be seen, either at home on the first floor or in the store on the ground floor.

*Trrrrrrrring* *Trrrrrrring*

All of a sudden, alarm sounds started to play in his head, continuously until he woke up only to see the blurry holographic screen. There were two lines on it, indicating two notifications.

"Hmm?" Mark rubbed his eyes and took a clear look.

<strong>*Ding! Allen Spencer has been upgraded successfully. Check its stats for details.</strong>

<strong>*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest: Dungeon Break.</strong>

Emergency Quest: Dungeon Break.
