Chapter 513 Excited Anna
[Ryser's tear: The Ryser, a mystical race, is renowned throughout the cosmos for their seemingly infinite wisdom. Their tears contain mystical powers. When consumed, it boosts the user's concentration, deduction and comprehension ability beyond their limit.]
[Price: 10,000 SPs]
As he read the description, he was surprised that such mystical races existed in the universe. However, when he saw the price, his expression stiffened.
'System, isn't there something… more affordable in the system shop?' He asked.
[No, host. As stated before, the items in the system shop are premium items and this price is already the lowest possible.] The system responded.
Max didn't respond and opened his status.
[Lust Points: 24,000]
[Kill Points: 17,000]
[Shop Points: 9,000]
Taking a breath, he said, 'Covert all Kill points into SPs and put all LPs into intelligence. I believe I would need better senses and mana control in the upcoming days.'
Swoosh!
[It's done, host.]
The system promptly replied, and his stats changed.
[Intelligence: 155 --> 179]
[Lust Points: 0]
[Kill Points: 0]
[Shop Points: 10,700]
'Good.' Max said, closing his eyes to check how much his sense had enhanced and was satisfied by the results.
'Now… buy the item.' He said and as he watched 10,000 SPs vanish, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
'It's alright. It's for the better.' Consoling himself, he waited for the system's notification, which sounded in the next moment.
[Ding! Purchase successful! The item has been stored in your inventory.]
…
After half an hour, Emily and others were done choosing their spells. Rima didn't need to, since she already had what she needed.
Among them, Belen seemed pretty excited while Leticia had a pout.
"You didn't find anything suitable?" He asked her.
"No, I did, but just a movement technique. All offensive and defensive spells here are nothing extraordinary." She said, which made the nearby people give her odd looks.
Belen shook her head. "They are very good. But if you assess them by your bloodline ability's standard, I doubt you would find any good spell anywhere."
"You… are not wrong. But I hope I would find something good here." Leticia clicked her tongue.
Max looked at Leticia, and said, "I still haven't seen what kind of bloodline ability you have awakened."
After he rescued them from the demons, she had told him she had awakened an awesome bloodline ability, but she hadn't shown what it was because it was the kind of ability that could only be used once every half a month.
Leticia's face drooped when she heard him and then said with a pout, "If you wait for a few days, I'll show you. But you don't. Humph! And you also aren't taking me with you."
Max only smiled at this. From the moment she found out he was leaving the city and not taking her, she had complained about this at least 10 times.
Leticia stomped her foot when she saw his reaction but didn't say anything.
Max then glanced at Emily. "Did you find something suitable?"
"Yes." Emily nodded, not bothering to explain.
Max didn't mind it, since he would see them in action.
'Too bad I don't have more SPs to buy a Kyser's tear for her. It would've helped her a lot in comprehending her new spells.' He thought, sighing at his poverty. However, he didn't know she was going to give him a nice surprise in a few days and he would realize he didn't need to feel regretful about not being able to give her a Ryser's tear.
"Let's go. Anna and Maria must have finished choosing their spells, too." He said and lead them downstairs.
As he said, Anna and Maria were already waiting for them to come down.
As soon as Anna saw them, she hopped toward them like an excited child and asked, "Hehe, did you find something good?"
"Yeah, what about you?" Max nodded, not bothering to explain what he got because he could see she didn't want to hear it and dying to tell them about her findings.
Sure enough, she bobbed her head up and down, trying to contain her excitement. "Good, good. I also got something amazing." After saying this, she stared at him, clearly waiting for him to ask what she got. Max chuckled at this and asked, "What did you get?"
Hearing this, Anna waved her hand, causing an old, tattered book to appear in her hand. "I got this." She proudly and excitedly declared.
"What is this?" Max asked, taking the book in his hand and read the title.
[Way of martial arts: A guide to becoming unmatched in close combat.]
'No wonder she liked it. Just the name is enough to make her excited.' He thought and shuffled through a few pages. Initially indifferent, he grew increasingly surprised as continued to flip the page after page.
Seeing this, Anna giggled, "Isn't this book great? With this, I won't be any weaker to you guys, even if I don't have a bloodline or don't awaken any element."
Closing the book, he looked at her with a strange look and asked, "You can read it?"
"Mm? Of course I can. You can't?" She asked, frowning in confusion.
"I can, but as I read further, the words get blurry." Max said, which made everyone raise their brows in surprise.
"Show me." Emily said, extending her hand toward him. Max nodded and give it to her and as she flipped pages, her brows knitted tightly.
"It's the same for me." She said, handing the book over to Leticia. "You try."
The result was the same. Leticia also couldn't read more than a few lines. The same was true for Belen and Amara.
Just then, a voice sounded in their heads. It was the voice of the old woman on the third floor.
[Only those who have an affinity with it can read it. Others can't. So, don't be surprised. And congratulations, little girl. Try not to die anytime soon. I want to see what can you achieve with that book. Now, get out. Your time in the library is up.]
As soon as the voice stopped, they found themselves out of the library.
"This… this was spatial teleportation?" Leticia uttered in shocked surprise.
