11 Being Rich Is Nice... (1/2)

*Clap*

''Thank you for saving my daughter, I'm truly thankful!'' Said Igrid while bowing 90 degrees.

''No, problem, it was a small matter'' Ashley was getting quite irritated, this has been ongoing for several minutes already.

She could see the father of Lily getting tears in his eyes and snot around his nose, it wasn't a pleasant sight to see.

''No, I'm truly grate-'' Before Igrid could continue Ashley already used her natural pressure to shut the damn mouth of him.

''I get it, so stop, damn'' Even though she was irritated, to get these moments in the apocalypse is quite rare if you hid from the outside where everybody can only barely see you.

''What is your name?'' Asked Ashley while at the same time removing her natural pressure.

''I-Igrid''

''Igrid it is? Take these'' Ashley threw him around twenty tier 2 crystals, taking anymore than that everyday will only give a slight headstart, but overtime the training efficiency will reduce, the effects of taking more crystals will reduce to a very low level.

Meaning, even if you ate 100 crystals the effect will only be the same as taking 5 crystals everyday. Though it didn't take very long for people to discover that.

''I-isn't this from those monsters? Isn't it very valuable?'' Igrid looked at the twenty glinstering crystals on the ground, he himself killed a few monsters and was able to retrieve some of those crystals, but he never knew what to do with it.

''You can call them valuable but it is a matter on how high tier your crystal is, the higher, the more valuable. If you want an example then a luxury villa of about 1 million dollars is equal to one of those crystals'' Said Ashley.

It's true that those tier 2 crystals are that much worth, but overtime the value will rapidly decrease, only those of tier 3 or higher will hold some value after the research was done on how to use crystals as a source of energy.

Killing a tier 2 monster at this stage and age will require a lot of man power, only those luckier ones will be able to kill one.

''Then how do you know which crystals are which tier? Every single one of them look similar to each other'' Igrid figured that if he continued to be thankful it will only further annoy her and she gave him twenty of these so called tier 2 crystals, she probably has a lot more.

''Feel the aura of it, you can sense the aura of the crystal whether it is tier 1 or 2. Also the color of the crystals will change at the 4th tier, 8th tier and 12th tier. Blue, yellow and red respectively

And how to sense the aura is a different story, but everyone can do it pretty quickly, it just take some time''

Ashley began to explain some basic things, weaknesses of certain monsters and types of powers, at last she asked a question.

''So, do you want to stay here or go out into the wilderness?''

Igrid held his breath for a moment before he exhaled it. She already did a lot for him, she saved his life and his daughter's life, the fact she explained all of this might be of her kindness or his daughter as he saw how she taught his daughter on how to use those strange powers.

To keep staying here might be rude, but surviving out there is even worse, the choice is obvious if the girl offered it.

''Then thank you for letting us stay here'' Igrid bowed again.

''Then let's start the training once again'' Said Ashley while Igrid looked confused a bit and Lily just nodded.

...

*Bam*

A bulky man with a bald head and huge scar on his bare chest slammed on the table which broke due the force.

''Those idiots died!? Did their bodies at least contain the stuff that those pieces of dogmeat stole from us!?'' Screamed the man.
