Cursed Immortality

Chapter 211 Rewards Of Rare Plains Trial (2)

In reply, the static voice stated, ”The Rare Plain Shop is only available for one-time use only for the Champion/s of a trial. In Rare Plain Shop, everything will be available as long as it exists in the Rare Plains!”

The next moment thereafter, a virtual projection appeared in front of Jacob.

In the top-left corner were his Star ID name and his current balance, which was 150,003 ZC combined with the 3 ZC he previously had.

Below was a list, and Jacobʼs eyes constricted because the very first thing on the list was under the category of Level-1 Rare Authority, and there were only three items.

ʼ1. Rare Storage Ring

ʼSize: 10 Cubic Meters

ʼDescription: A special ring with 10 Cubic Meters of Space embedded within and stored any non-living object in the embedded space.

ʼPrice: 10,000 ZC

ʼ2. Life Zone Scroll (Rare Plains)

ʼDescription: Create a 20X20 Life Zone anywhere in the Rare Plains, and no Dark Being will be able to enter.

ʼLimitation: Only Useable in Rare Plains.

ʼDuration: 10 Years

ʼPrice: 50,000 ZC

ʼ3. Life Limit Breaker (1-level)

ʼDescription: Break the Power level limit on the Rare Plain by One level for every Life Being. While active, any living being with the same level can enter the rare plains.

ʼDuration: 500 Years

ʼPrice: 150,000 ZCʼ

(AN: The 2nd and 3rd items will have reverse descriptions for the Champion of Dark Beings.)

Seeing the storage ring description, lighting struck in his head, ʼDonʼt tell me the ring I picked up was also this Rare Storage Ring?!ʼ

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was the case because Wight Minister had taken his sword out of thin air. Before, he thought it was just a type of magic, but now that he discovered the Storage Ringʼs existence, he no longer thought that way.

When he combined the sudden emergence of the emerald crystals at the end, he knew the ring he got was most likely the storage ring.

A tingle of regret flashed past his eyes when he thought about the bone-hilt sword of Wight Minister, which he forgot to pick up in a hurry. But that sword was likely buried under that rubble, so even if he had remembered, he wouldnʼt take a chance with a mere sword.

Jacob then took out the black ring with red patterns from his pendant. He was no longer afraid of hiding this storage ability since his pendant could also be taken as a storage pendant.

He was about to ask whether this ring was a storage ring. When he remembered something crucial, he didnʼt even ask who he was speaking with all this time!

Wouldnʼt the other party think he knew who it was beforehand?

He quickly corrected his mistake with an embarrassing smile, ”Umm, forgive my rudeness, but how should I address you?”

The static voice replied without any emotions, ”You may call me Star Administrator Artificial Intelligence of Rare Plains, SAAI in short!”

ʼSo, it is an AI.ʼ Jacob was relieved since this also meant this wasnʼt the Zodiac Will.

He then pointed toward the black ring and asked, ”SAAI, what is this object?”

SAAI replied emotionlessly, ”1 ZC for Appraisal.ʼ

Jacob cocked an eyebrow since he didnʼt expect it to work, but the price of 1 billion gold coins was not a small sum either.

Still, 1 ZC was not a big deal, so he nodded, ”Alright, appraise it.”

The 1 ZC from his current balance vanished before a white ray suddenly shone over the black ring in Jacobʼs hand, startling him for a moment. It started to scan the ring before it vanished after a quick scan.

SAAIʼs emotionless voice rang again, ”A Rare Storage Ring.”

Jacobʼs lips curled up when he heard the answer, and he was ecstatic, ”How should I open it?” He asked quickly since this ring had to have a wealth of that terrifying Dark Being!

”Magic Energy is needed to open a Rare Storage Ring,” SAAI revealed.

Jacobʼs face instantly fell the moment he heard that since he had no Magic Energy to speak of, all the happiness of gaining the Wight Ministerʼs wealth vanished in smoke.

He then suddenly thought of something as he asked with cold eyes, ”What if I destroy it? Will the items inside also be destroyed?”

”Yes. Any item below Type-1 will be destroyed if a Rare Storage Ring explodes.”

It was a simple answer which made Jacob grimace. Nevertheless, he would have Magic Power eventually, so he stowed it away.

Then he thought of something and took out three items, a gray tatter cover book, a parchment made of beast skin, and a gray metallic cylinder.

These were things he had found in the dark ruins, and he was planning to examine them when he learned the rune language. But now that he could get the answer without wasting time, he was more than happy to use that option. Especially the gray metallic cylinder.

”I want to appraise these three items.” Jacob declared his intention while placing them on the white floor.

SAAI didnʼt immediately reply this time but first scanned the objects in front of Jacob, which made him frown slightly, but he didnʼt speak.

After the white scanning light was gone, SAAIʼs emotionless voice rang again, ”The book and parchment will cost you 500 ZC each, and the cylinder will cost 10,000 ZC. Do you want to continue with the appraisal?”

Jacobʼs eyes widened slightly when he heard the ridiculous price, especially the cylinder.

ʼJust what the hell is this Cylinder which will cost me 10,000 ZC just to appraise? These two things are also quite expensive since a storage ring only costs me 1 ZC. It seemed the appraisal price depended on the rarity. Well, Iʼll ask that damn book once I leave here. It will surely know what this Cylinder is.ʼ

However, before he could say anything, SAAI spoke again, ”You also have the option to sell items for ZC.”

Jacobʼs expression changed ever so slightly, and he asked, ”How much will I get for these three items?”

”20,000 ZC for the book and parchment and 1 Million ZC for the Cylinder.” SAAI emotionlessly replied.

ʼ1 Million for this Cylinder?!ʼ Now Jacob was sure that this thing was really precious, and those two items were as precious as a storage ring.

He would be a fool to let go of such items without knowing if they were helpful for him or not, so he quickly stowed them away.

Jacob thought for a moment before he questioned, ”How much does the Rune Language cost?”

ʼIt is a far better option to buy the rune language instead of wasting 1,000 ZC on appraisal. Iʼm planning to learn these damn languages anyway.ʼ

He sighed in aggravation when he thought about how his lack of language haunted him in Dark Ruins, so he wasnʼt planning on experiencing it anymore.

As for the other two items, he didnʼt even think of buying them since they had no use for him. The Life Zone Scroll could only protect him from dark beings, not both, and it only works in rare plains, so it was a waste of ZC.

Lastly, the Life Limit Breaker was even more worthless in his eyes since it had no use for him at all.

Instead of SAAI, the list in front of Jacob suddenly changed, which made Jacob astonished because a language section appeared, and there were seven languages on the list.

”1. Rune Language: Type-0

”Price: 10 ZC

”2. Rune Language: Type-1 (Type-0 Included)

”Price: 1,000 ZC

”3. Magic Rune Encyclopedia: Type-0

”Price: 25,000 ZC

”4. Magic Rune Encyclopedia: Type-1 (Type-0 Included)

”Price: 50,000 ZC

”5. Philosopherʼs Language: Type-0

”Price: 100 ZC

”6. Philosopher Language: Type-1 (Type-0 Included)

”Prince: 10,000 ZC

”7. Language of Dead

”Description: Language spoken by Dark Beings

”Price: 100 ZC”

Jacob was flabbergasted when he saw the prices of Rune and Philosopherʼs Languages which were simply off the charts for someone like him who had only 150,000 ZC.

The feeling of being rich also vanished at this moment, and he understood just how poor he was.

He didnʼt buy anything, nor dared to look for anything anymore because he knew he needed almost everything in that shop, so he decided to look for what he required the most.

Only then will he think about buying another else if he left with ZC, that is.

Jacob took a deep breath and said, ”I want to buy Magic Cores.”

This was the real purpose of him coming here and clearing the dark ruins, the reaming magic cores for the last level of Cursed Heart Emergence!

Jacob had already collected 3-star magic cores of all four elements from zombie hunting, and he also had a 9-star fire core which was simply a fluke. He was only missing three 9-star cores and all the 4-star magic cores.

At this moment, the virtual projection changed, and the list of magic cores appeared in front of Jacob!
