Magic Planet.
Alex's second clone awakens as the Sun stands perpendicular to the sky.
Thanks to the help of the recovery potion that was forcibly given when he fainted, his recovery went smoothly.
He did not even feel any pain at all on the part that was seriously injured during the battle. The remains of the recovery potion after his body recovered were converted to become his empty mana reserves. And thanks to that, the depleted mana reserves during the meeting can be fully charged in just a few hours!
Looking at the entire room, he found no one but himself there. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Leon, Mr. Zeff has been waiting on the second floor."
Alex finds Elisha standing next to the door and tells Zeff that he wants to talk on the second floor.
'Was he told to wait for me to wake up?'
Alex thanks Elisa before leaving her for Zeff's room on the second floor.
In Zeff's study, Alex finds Zeff sitting in his chair with a transparent ball placed on the table.
"What is that, Mr Zeff?"
"This is an artifact of communication. I just contacted the headquarters about the mission. Even though the main goal of getting rid of the genius alchemists is failing, you will get five gold coins each for the success of destroying the hiding place of the Blood Star Church and getting rid of one of their blue priests."
There was originally no commission other than killing genius alchemists who produced something to create cursed creatures. But after Zeff told him about the many cursed creatures hiding inside the city of Xyras, as well as the one blue priest they managed to kill, the headquarters finally agreed to give a quarter of the mission prize.
"Thank you, Zeff."
"Don't tell me that, you've suffered a loss by using your artifact anyway."
Alex replied with a silent smile. Although the price he sold to Benzir was one gold coin per bullet, he used his already abundant dollars to buy the bullet. This certainly makes him not to bother about the use of bullets he uses during battle.
"What about the others? Are they okay?"
"They're fine. By the way Leon, I have something to talk to you about."
"What is Mr Zeff?"
"It's about your adventurer rank."
On each mission taken by adventurers, mission senders are also required to pay ten percent of the rewards offered by the mission as a guild administration fee.
Of course the guild also did not accept it for free. In addition to receiving monetary rewards, adventurers also received adventurer points awarded by the guild.
This adventurer point had the value of half of a copper coin. That is, if the administrative cost on a mission is ten copper coins, the guild will give five points if the adventurer completes the mission.
Although these adventurer points could not be exchanged back into money, many things could be exchanged for those points. One of them is food. The adventurers can use their points in guild restaurants usually located on every single floor of the guild branch, or exchange them for artifacts and other objects registered at the guild headquarters.
Unlike the city of Xyras which had few strong people, the adventurers in the other guild branches had to exchange their points to increase the rank. Of course after the minimum strength requirement is met.
Alex learned of this when they had a conversation at his first meeting with Zeff.
"As you know, your rank is instantly upgraded to silver with the condition that all points you earn in each mission will be used to cover your point debt."
Alex nodded. He accepted it when he first heard about it.
After all if he had to start from the wood rank, the mission he could take was only an e-level mission, which had a slight reward. Surely it would be a very long time before he could accumulate points to pay for his rank increase.
Despite being in debt, as a silver adventurer he can receive c-level missions that allow him to pay the entire debt of points in completing missions only a few times!
"On your great service in the assault this time, your previous point debt has been eliminated and you are also given an additional ten thousand adventurer points as a bonus. Decide for yourself what you'll use those points for."
In order to raise the adventurer rank from silver to gold, other than the minimum requirement of adventurers having to be at the mana embodiment level, adventurers would also have to accumulate ten thousand adventurer points in exchange for a rank increase.
The problem is Alex. Although they knew Alex was so powerful that he was able to kill a blue priest, they weren't sure if Alex would use all of those points to increase his adventurer ranking.
The higher the level of mission an adventurer takes, the greater the risk of his death. Hence, an adventurer usually exchanged adventurer points with recovery potions from the guild.
The price offered by the guild to adventurers was as high as five thousand adventurer points or about one gold coin if cashed. This price is certainly very cheap!
In Rod's village, Alex buys five bottles of recovery potions from Benzir for a fee of five gold coins.
When Benzir traveled to the Elf kingdom, he bought a number of recovery potions at the price of one gold coin per bottle. If plus the travel expenses where he hired adventurers as well as other expenses, of course he suffered losses from the trade.
But as his gratitude to Alex and for the sake of establishing cooperation in the future, he was willing to do that.
If in the city of Xyras which was close to the Elf kingdom alone Benzir sold one bottle of recovery potion at the price of one fifty silver gold coin, Alex did not want to think about how much it would cost him to buy recovery potions from a merchant, in the central continent or the far western continent of the Elf kingdom.
Unlike the merchants, adventurers could purchase recovery potions for five thousand points in each guild branch.
Guilds did not accept gold coins in every exchange of items they had. This is certainly a distinct advantage for adventurers who buy recovery herbs and sell them at market prices in the area.
Alex's thinking was different. "I want to use my points to increase my ranking to gold."
He could receive a level b mission that had a much larger reward. As for recovery potions, he was currently in Xyras city selling them at a cheap price. He was not worried even if Benzir did not give him any more discounts and sold him for one fifty silver gold coin.
"Hahahaha, great! Hand me your badge. I'll send it to the headquarters to upgrade. With this, your points will be reduced to zero."
Zeff laughed happily and accepted Alex's badge. Before leaving the room he continued, "get together with the others on the first floor. I want to tell all of you an important piece of information after handing over this badge!"
"Well, Mr. Zeff."
