Chapter 33 - You Will Love the Name! (2/2)
Julies nodded, then Go Gao continued.
”It means that he should be back in at most a month for the practical exam, make sure to pay attention to when he comes, it's not because he has a month to study that it will take him that long to come back, after he undergoes the practical examination we can make a decision about this issue, if it turns out that all he has is a good control of the elements but no talent for alchemy, then we will simply ignore those results, the alchemist guild needs alchemists, not element manipulators.”
Julies agreed with Go Gao, they had seen people with great control over the elements before, in the end most of them didn't have the talent necessary for alchemy itself. It is better for them to wait and see what happens.
Julies then commented.
”It seems that a One Star alchemist of our guild is his friend, should we call him over?”
Supervisor Go shook his head.
”No, let it go, since he left straight away then it means that he doesn't want to be bothered, it's better for us to not scary him away.”
Julies didn't say anything else and just left.

Krune was back at the mercenary guild where he bumped at Yusa, she was clearly holding a grudge at him still.
”Ao Sulian already explained me that those are not good gifts to give to the others, so I would like to apologize, I won't buy them again.”
Yusa was still looking cold at him though.
Krune then pondered a bit and remembered something, he took out 50 Rank Three low quality spirit stones.
”These are yours if you let it go.”
Yusa's eyes moved a little, but she still didn't relent, Krune then took out an extra 50 spirit stones.
Yusa looked happier, but at the same time she didn't say anything.
Krune then gritted his teeth and took another 100 spirit stones, he now had 200 Rank Three low quality spirit stone in front of him.
”200 hundred! That's my limit, if you don't let it go, then forget it!”
Yusa finally showed a bright smile.
”Oh brother, look at you, there was no need for that, I know you had the best intentions when you bought those gifts for me!
Your sister here will accept them as a token of your sincerity then, let's look after each one in the future.”
She then put the spirit stones in her spatial ring and left, Krune was left behind feeling like crying again.
'Forget it, it was my fault for not having made a better research, I will just consider it another unlucky day, fortunately, I didn't use the sex shop guy advices.'
Krune then went back to his room, there were things thrown everywhere, he had spend quite sometime over the equipment of the human world, trying to understand how they work, all for the sake of knowledge, although he obviously can't make the electronics himself, he at least now understands how and why they worked, but he wasn't planing to delve further in this things, he just wanted to be able to use them efficiently.
He sat down on his bed and opened the studies file from the alchemist guild, he had to memorize all the files, they basically showed all the medicinal herbs available for new alchemists and their properties, although these are only the herbs for One Star alchemists, the list was enormous! Fortunately, Krune is a wisp! Wisps are innately intelligent, not to mention him who had his soul tempered several times and is already at the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was way to easy. Krune only had to read it once and if he willed, he wouldn't forget them anymore!
Night came and Krune stopped his studies, he had already memorized over half of the herbs, but night time was for cultivation, he won't forget who he is, time is what he needs most, so he can't stop cultivating no matter what.
The day came and Krune finished his cultivation, at least he doesn't have the need to sleep, it saves a lot of time for him.
'The way it is going it will take me around three months to reinforce my planet foundation enough for me to attack the 3rd stage, I will need to find a way to make it faster.'
He then remembered that the mercenary guild has a lot of items available for sale, he arrived at the sales room and opened the list of items available. Not long after he found what he was looking for.
'Five Elements paste, capable of help with the foundation progress, by consuming it the speed that one's foundation is reinforced is accelerated by 20% to 30% for a period of more or less 8 days.'
'Price: 900 Rank Two middle quality spirit stones.'
Krune was ecstatic, that was exactly the type of item he needed, he then took his Mercenary Badge out and tried to buy it, but then a message appeared on the screen.
'User doesn't have the necessary ranking points for the purchase, please put more effort during your missions and come back to try again.'
Krune was taken aback, then he looked at the bottom and sure enough, there was a specific number of ranking points necessary to unlock the item for sale.
Earth Rank Points Necessary: Not available
Sky Rank Points Necessary: 1200
Heaven Rank Points Necessary: 190
Krune was sad.
'Seems like that just lazily cultivating won't work.'
He then video called Yusa and Ao through the communicator.
”I want to buy an item from the mercenary store, but I don't have the necessary ranking points, are you interested in start a mission to make some points?”
Ao was the first to reply.
”It's good that you mentioned it, I'm at the peak of the 3rd stage, I want to buy a Three Stars Spiritual Explosion pill from the mercenary guild to help in my breakthrough, I went to the alchemist guild but the price they are asking is too high, it's cheaper to get it from the mercenary guild since they also have alchemists that are part of the guild too. I will need 650 Ranking points.”
Yusa then commented.
”I don't have anything I need at moment but those points will definitely come in hand in the future, it will also put us on the ranking system which might bring good jobs for us later, if we don't complete at least one mission, our team name won't appear on the list.”
Krune nodded, he doesn't want to catch more attention, fortunately, the rank system allows for the team members names to be hidden, he then thought about something and asked.
”By the way, what is our team name on the ranking system?”
He then saw Yusa giving a bright smile on the other side of the video call, he immediately had a foreboding feeling. Yusa then commented.
”You will love it, since you are the strongest member of our group I decided the register it as...”
”The Rainbow Team.”
