173 # 162 Freebie exchange and mysterious capsule.txt (1/2)

Apparently, the prize exchange is like choosing from a list.

Let's look at the contribution points first. It's a point zap! Come on, man!

I was on a roll, but as soon as I saw the list, I saw the item at the top and froze.

Capsule 100,000 pts.

This is... this is... obviously a request to use it, right? Capsules... what? You mean like the old messy mess? Is there a hit or miss? If it's an outlier, you're going to be pissed.

Here's the item underneath it.

Dragon's Egg 100,000 pts.

What the hell is a capsule worth as much as a dragon egg?

Anyway, if you can get a dragon, it's a dragon egg. But this dragon egg was only for fierce beast users and couldn't be obtained.

On the contrary, the capsule was for summoners only. I feel like I'm being told incessantly to exchange them.

Anyway, let's check the other stuff. A quick check shows that contribution points include materials, drop items, and tools for production. These were particularly high.

Magical Flame Furnace 80,000 pts.

Stone Kiln 60,000 pts.

Magic loom 60,000 pts.

Magical cultivator 60,000 pts.

Magic Chainsaw 60,000 pts.

I thought it was something that Ruin and the others would want. I'd like to trade the Demonic Flame Melting Furnace for Hephaistos, but it's too expensive.

The other expensive ones are demonic ice stones, sapphires, and icy stones. The guardian ice spirit drop material is expensive. There were other things I hadn't seen before... I don't think I'd want King Gorilla's fur and barbell. I'm curious to see how they work, though.

What I want is still the ice magic stone and various magic stones. There's an ice stone, so there's also a way to exchange the ice stone and make a rare ice magic stone. But here's an emergency. I checked my inventory and found no ice-producing stones.

I checked my inventory and found no ice-producing stone.　What's that?　It should have been there by the end!　...Oh.

So it should have been until the end. Then the only thing I can think of is Despena on his final return to death. But let's remember that the floating island despena was supposed to be a raft.

What happened to the raft in the boss fight? It was smashed when Astaroth and his crew arrived at the floating island. Naturally, there is no sign of the raft in the inventory.

'You lost the icy stone to Despena at the last minute...'

I wasn't expecting that... quite a bit of damage is coming...

”Tact?　Are you okay?

Lilly and the others look worried. It's no good. I don't have enough training to let Lily and the others look at me like that.

'Oh. It's okay. As long as we get the ice demon stone, we won't have any problems, right?

Yes! It can fail, and as long as you get the ice magic stone here, you're good to go!

The points are 10000 pts. this is all I can do. The other high magic stones are light and dark, both 5000. I'm worried about them.

If I buy the capsules, the capsules, ice magical stone, light magical stone, and dark magical stone will be 120,000, so there's only 13,600 left. There's only 13,600 left, what do we have left?

I was looking into it and found a good one. Intermediate blast furnace 3000, intermediate blacksmith's hammer 3000.

”Hephaistos. What do you think of the Intermediate Furnace and the Intermediate Blacksmith's Hammer I found?

'What?　I...that's...I'd like to have that, but I'm sure it would make a good weapon, and it would increase our success rate. But,

Okay. You're right.

That's very forceful... are you sure about this?

It's a win-win for us. It's not a problem.

So that's the decision. I have 7600 pts left, we'll figure out the rest at school. It seems we have a week to exchange them, so there's no need to rush to exchange them.

But the mysterious capsule I'm wondering about is the only exception. I'll pick it out immediately. What is it?

I select a capsule, perform the exchange, and a capsule containing a person from a sci-fi movie appears in front of me.

What...the capsule is that way!

Tact?　What's this?

Lily asks me, but I can only answer that it's a capsule.

It's not going to open up out of nowhere and jump out at me like an alien or something, is it? As I approached at maximum alert, I heard a sound from the capsule.

We have detected a human summoner. Please register as a master.

Ma, master registration? What do you want me to do?

”Please touch the panel on the right with your hand.

”The right panel... this one?　Touch this with your hand.

I touched the panel with my hand and the machine pinned my arm to it.

'Oi!　Wait, wait, what the hell is this?

I'm going to run a blood sample for master registration.
