Bab 102: 102 The Market Center
As Ryan was looking at his new mana core, he can feel it pulsing and releasing energy into his body. His body was tightening up like he is extremely full of energy every time his core pulsed.
It wasn't a painful feeling, but oddly soothing and relaxing. Even though he feels like he is to full of energy, but he can feel something else in his body getting slowly squeezed out as the energy enters his body.
That is what was actually making it feel good, and Ryan knows exactly what is happening. His mana core is cleansing and strengthening his body. When he form his core this had happened too but he was unconscious and to injured to had notice.
After sitting there an hour or 2 and enjoying the soothing feeling, his mana core had stopped pulsing so frequently.
As the excitement from ranking up starts to die down, he remember he is in a expensive room doing nothing. Knowing that his core and body still needs more time to stabilize he got up to leave.
Just as he was about to walk towards the exit, he remembered his ring he had thrown. He mentally retraced his steps and thought back to what direction he had thrown the ring while using the exit of the room as the center point.
It was easy to find out what direction he thrown it, because he didn't do much after entering. He walk towards the direction he thrown it and started to think about how he was acting from the Demonic apple mental persuasion.
The demonic apple mental persuasion was stronger than last time and it had felt like his body was not in his control. The first time he had experience eating the demonic apple it was just a strong convincing thought to eat another demonic apple.
He was still aware of what he was doing, it was just it felt like he had agreed deep down to go eat the fruit. Unlike now it felt like he was being forced to eat it after a few tines of failing at convincing himself to eat it. His memory of the event was blurry and it had felt like he wasn't actually in control of his own body the whole time he spent searching for his ring.
He just glad that he apparently can't have no complex thoughts while he is effected. He didn't stop his aura from weighing himself down, or was able to think of how to find the direction of the ring. He remember there was no logic to the way he was searching, he was just wandering around looking to stumble into it.
Now that he had thought more about it, its seems like it took control over his body not his mind.
As he was lost in his thoughts thinking about what this could mean he noticed his ring in the distance on the ground. He picked it up and walked towards the exit.
Since he knows nothing about demonic apples and mental attacks, he has chosen to stop eating the demonic apples. He have a gut feeling there are more to these demonic apples and he is worried that the mental persuasion attack will get stronger with every apple he eat.
The thought of what might happen if he ate all of them scared him enough to be more cautious with them. He tap his skynet on the door to leave and He had felt slight heart ache at losing so much merit points, leaving him with close to 400 merit points left.
Ryan did spend a good amount of merit points yesterday too, even though he just sold a demonic apple the other day he only have 400 merit points left.
Ryan went to get food to waste time for his core and body to stabilize. He can't wait to try out his new strength in the training room, he can already tell he much stronger than before and his core is still giving out energy every so often.
Ryan decided to take a break from all the training he was doing and walk around the academy. There are places he still haven't been and he heard of a interesting place to go recently. He had over heard some students talk about the Market center and Ryan went to go check it out, since he have some free time.
It didn't take much time to get there after looking for direction with his skynet, and to his surprise the Market center was prosperous and bustling.
He wasn't sure what to expect but he sure it wasn't this. The market center, was exactly how it sounded. The center of a market.
From a station opened by beast tamers where one could buy a beast. The beasts that was in cages looked completely harmless but there was a sign saying selling powerful beast in the dungeon.
To a flower stores opened by plant element user which sold all sorts of plants. From beautiful aeth flowers to useful herbs.
There were also exotic fruit and vegetable shops, restaurants, arenas, places that sold formation, Alchemy pills, forge equipment, and even a shop that sold random things that came from the dungeon. There were all sorts of stores that dazzled the eyes, and many unknown rare things that Ryan had never seen in his life being sold.
Ryan was truly captivated by everything, and he had noticed there was only low talent grade students working the shops. From the time he spent observing, he feels like this is a place where any students could sell there goods.
From how busy it is compared to the Exchange center, he guess everything here is slightly cheaper. They had almost everything there, even uncertitfide spells but no martial arts techniques sadly.
Ryan was slightly disappointed by that but he kept exploring and examining the price of things. If he do fine something useful, it would be good to have an idea how much it could be worth.
After a couple hours there, he had left and head back to a training room. His core wasn't done stabilizing but he had gotten bored there. Plus he remember he only have 3 days before he have to head in the dungeon. Today and tomorrow is the only free days he will have to get used to his new strength.
