Chapter 72 - Purchasing in Large Quantities (2/2)

Roland’s father contemplated quietly for a while and said, “You’re an adult now, it’s normal to have your own thoughts, so it’s settled. Remember, two years’ time.”

“Okay.”

Roland smiled. He a.s.sumed that it would take quite a bit of effort to persuade them, but unexpectedly, his father had agreed so easily.

It was probably the bank balance that played a big part in this.

After speaking with his parents for a little while longer, Roland returned to his own room, opened the forums, and discovered that topics regarding him were still in discussion.

At the same time, many players expressed that in the future, they would find ways to discover bugs.

After all, if one found a bug, they’d be rich and famous—which youngster didn’t like that?

Perhaps only some of the truly rich would be able to view this matter with equanimity.

At night, Roland punctually lay down inside the immersive cabin.

Right when he logged on, he received a system notification.

“You’ve learned a unique specialty: Roland’s Zeal (True).”

Roland opened the specialty panel to discover that this specialty truly had its effects doubled.

Then, he went down to the fifth floor to carry out some tests.

He released over twenty consecutive spells, almost emptying all his mental power.

Because there was a special magic array that suppressed the power of spells on this floor, Roland’s spells didn’t cause any damage.

Once he almost emptied all his mental power, he sat down to the side and read a book while waiting for his mental power to naturally regenerate.

During this process, he could sense that there were large amounts of magical elements in the air replenis.h.i.+ng his body. Before, he wouldn’t have sensed this so clearly.

After roughly two hours, Roland felt that his mental power had been fully replenished.

One hour and fifty-seven minutes… since I had some leftover mental power, it’s two hours to completely regenerate all magic power?

Since I have double the effect, the other Mages will take roughly four hours to completely regenerate magic power?

This was pretty good. If he had equipment that sped up magic regeneration, this time would shorten even more.

Even without double the effects, Roland’s Zeal was an extremely practical specialty, not to mention the psychological spell resistance it brought.

Because under normal circ.u.mstances, the majority of Mages had to wait for at least over ten hours for magic power to naturally regenerate.

People with poor resistance attributes would probably take even longer.

With this specialty, the Mages’ problem of endurance could completely be resolved.

In the future, when selecting Mage equipment, he could simply consider just the number of attributes on it, or focus on strengthening his defensive power.

At this time, Vivian walked up to this floor. Her eyes lit up when she saw Roland, and she walked over and said, “Deputy Chairman, there’s a Golden Son looking for you outside.”

Roland a.s.sumed it was Betta. In the end, he found Hawk when he went down.

Roland brought him to his study and asked him to sit. Meanwhile, Vivian promptly served up pastries and fruit wine.

Hawk watched Vivian leave, and then with an envious look on his face, said, “The secretary takes care of everything, and when there’s nothing… You’re living quite the life.”

Roland rolled his eyes helplessly at him. “Can your thoughts not be that filthy? Talk, what matters bring you here personally? Did you encounter troubles with the plan to gather beggars?”

“It’s a little related.” Under Roland’s somewhat puzzled gaze, Hawk continued, “I told this matter to the guild leader, and the leader thinks it has potential, but to gather and establish a force of beggars, a large amount of funds is needed in the early stages. That’s why the guild leader wants to establish long-term cooperation with you!”

Roland asked curiously, “What sort of cooperation?”

“We purchase your gold coins in bulk at market price. However much you’re willing to offer is however much we’re willing to buy!”
