Chapter 67: The stone got from black market
Alex snorted.He only saw this type of people in animation.
Caelum stood rigid.
Ears slightly red.
But said nothing.
Just stared harder at the gauntlet.
Master Feng clapped Alex’s shoulder.
"Good luck, young man. Choose wisely."
Rose leaned close to Alex.
"That’s your competition in the future."
Whispered.
"International champion. ss-rank beast. Top university."
"How do you feel?"
Alex grinned.
"But I still got this chance way earlier than him, with a Slime."
Looked at the rows of treasures.
"I am 100times better."
Rose’s smile widened, touched Alex’s lower back.
"Look at your confidence~"
"Now go. You have thirty minutes."
Alex walked forward.
Into the vault.
Surrounded by power.
Surrounded by possibilities.
Behind him.
Caelum glanced over his shoulder.
Watching.
Eyes narrowed.
Alex walked deeper into the vault.
Eyes scanning everything.
Row after row.
Pedestals everywhere.
On his left—
A crimson egg.
Pulsing with heat.
Waves of warmth radiating.
Next to it—
A collar made of lightning.
Sparks dancing across its surface.
Further down—
A crystal vial.
Liquid inside glowing gold.
Alex’s eyes widened.
Holy shit.
They all look cool as hell!
He kept walking.
Passed a floating sword.
Blade humming with energy.
A shield that rippled like water.
A mask carved from dragon bone.
Then—
Something caught his eye.
A lace mask.
Black. Delicate.
Intricate patterns.
But the shape...
This is honier than the one he wore in the black market!
Man!
He moved on quickly.
Next pedestal—
Leather straps.
Thin. Adjustable.
A collar with a bell.
Cute at first glance.
Then you realize it’s something for adult.
Alex shook his head.
Who puts this stuff in a national treasury?!
He like them all!
He want to try them all!
But sadly, he only get to pick one, and he better pick something that boost his power.
So that he can level up to grade 8 and enjoy mutiple wives~
Suddenly—
Heat.
From his pocket.
No.
From his system bag.
Alex froze.
Reached into the invisible space.
Pulled out the colorful gemstone.
The one he bought at the black market.
Ten spirit stones.
It glowed now.
Bright.
Pulsing.
Colors swirling inside.
Red. Blue. Green. Gold.
All mixing together.
The light grew stronger.
Warmer.
"What the—"
Footsteps.
Fast.
Master Feng rushed over.
"What is that?!"
Rose followed.
Eyes wide.
"I’ve never seen anything like it."
She looked at Alex.
"Where did you get that?"
Caelum appeared.
For the first time.
Actually interested.
His cool facade cracked.
Eyes huge.
Staring at the gem.
"That person..."
His voice shaking.
"They said it was unique!"
Face twisted.
Angry.hat breaks when you breathe on it."
Alex stared at the pile.
Then at his gem.
Still glowing.
Still pulling toward the broken pieces.
"Why..."
His voice cracked.
"Why does my gem want this junk?!"
Caelum stepped forward.
Held up his gem.
It glowed too.
Exactly the same.
"Mine as well."
He frowned.
Crouched down.
Examining the pieces.
"There’s definitely a connection."
Alex stared at the broken pile.
At his gem.
Still pulsing.
Still insisting.
An idea hit him.
Stupid idea.
But...
What if?
He crouched.
Picked up the chest piece.
The largest fragment.
Found the circular indentation.
Still there.
Intact despite the cracks.
He held up his gem.
Compared sizes.
Perfect match.
"What are you doing?"
Rose asked.
Alex didn’t answer.
Pressed the gem into the indentation.
Click.
It fit.
Perfectly.
The gem sank in.
Flush with the surface.
For a moment—
Nothing.
Then—
FLASH.
