Mark's expression changed as he saw the system's offer.

*Ding! Attack Helicopter-EC 665 is the price.

Just a moment ago, he thought that the system changed after the update. It was becoming nicer and stopped becoming an opportunist.

But, the new reply from the system made him wonder whether he was wrong.

As a result, he didn't rush as he did with Allen's repair. Instead, he tried to negotiate. "Attack Helicopter is something that I need for my family to fly around and will be useful for my research. I'll pay you in credits instead."

Adding to the cursed ring, he possessed four divine-grade weapons, one of which was given to Allen. The remaining three could be traded for credits. Hence, he wouldn't be lacking credits even if he spent a hefty sum for Alina's resurrection.

Too bad for him the system also had the knowledge of it. Hence, it didn't ask for the credits as in its view of the law of exchange, a precious thing can only be exchanged for another precious thing.

Now that credits are no longer precious for Mark, the system decided to use something else that is worth a lot.

However, Mark wasn't ready to give up the helicopter despite knowing the fact that it would bring Alina back.

So, what should the system do?

Ask for the divine-grade weapons? Give him a difficult mission?

The system made a quick analysis and gave him the best offer it can.

*Ding! The price to complete the host's request has been changed.

*Ding! Your side quest has been changed.

Side Quest-III: Spend a total of 100,000,000 credits in the system store.

Reward: Staff of Blessing, the lamp of wishes.

The lamp of wishes

Grade: N/A

Description: The lamp of wishes can be used to make a request to the system that bypasses the law of exchange. Whatever the host asks, the system is obliged to fulfill it.

Note 1: God-grade items and the ones that don't exist within the system's database cannot be granted.

Note 2: can only be used once every 180 days.

"So, this is like a genie's lamp?" Mark had this thought come to his mind as soon as he read the description. His eyes then shifted to the quest itself and mumbled, "The original 50 million credits have been raised to 100 million credits in the side quest and another reward was added. To get 500 million gold coins, I might have to rob all the empires.

Let's see what I have got first.

Prior to my departure, I had over 21 million gold coins including the 10 million given by the Imperial Palace as a part of our deal.

I had 26.2 million credits. Now, adding the new rewards, now, I had a total of 33.6 million credits. If I convert all the gold to credits, I'll have another 4 million.

To reach 100 million, I would still need over 62 million credits. Trading Jade pipa and this cursed ring of Chiyou will net me another 50 million. That leaves 12 million credits to be earned. Hmm… I wonder how much I can earn if I sell all the semi-divine items I got from the Wuji sect…

But, is this really the right thing to do?"

Perhaps, it is because Mark was relaxed knowing that Alina's resurrection is possible as long as he earned enough money. He was having second thoughts about trading every treasure he had to complete the side quest.

Instead, he could take it slow and focus more on becoming stronger. Adding on top of that, it was Alina's fault in the place that she ended up like this.

If she had only listened to Allen's opinion and waited for a few days until the system gets online to contact him, none of this would have happened.

If one should receive a reward for doing the right thing, then, they should also be punished for becoming reckless.

Mark doesn't know what his exact feelings were. Was he angry with Alina or was he angry with himself? Or whether he suddenly thinks her life isn't as important as wasting away 100 million credits in hurry…

Whatever the case, for now, he just convinced himself to not hurry the resurrection of Alina and put his priority on exploring the functions of the system instead.

But, before that, he would have to check out the new items in inventory that he missed due to coming in a hurry

"Open Inventory"

He first clicked on the rainbow-colored stone. A new window opened up with its image and the details.

Upgrade stone (Superior)

Grade: N/A

Description: Can be used on items and upgrade their grade as long as the item is Celestial or below grade.

"So, this cannot be used to upgrade to the god grade huh? Well, it doesn't matter anyways. I have already decided on the item which I will use this on."

He took out the stone and then the fist-sized box with a big red button on top of it. Mark touched the stone to the compressed exo suit.

Just like with the android, the box glowed as soon as it was touched by the upgrade stone. The latter disappeared into the box in the meantime.

As the glowed died down, Mark received the confirmation.

OTHER FEATURES:

Flight, underwater breath, enhanced vision, night vision, Resistance (9 points), and Neural link.

Description: The exoskeleton suit-VII is a durable armor made out of Mithril (42%), Adamantium (48%), and other materials. It is capable of blocking every type of attack under the 9-circle realm and powerful enough to hurt enemies under mid-rank-9 physique (9.5-str) with simple fists and kicks.

SKILLS:

Active:

Nullification: The suit absorbs all types of attacks for five seconds as long as they are below the level of 11-circle (<11 str/int). Cost: 20% ether energy. CD: 180 seconds.

Energy barrier: The suit creates a defensive shield for 10 minutes, which reduces the attack power of an energy-based attack by 30%. Cost: 50% ether energy. CD: 6 hours.

Stealth mode: The user can turn invisible for 30 seconds and attack enemies from far away. However, the mode will get canceled with physical contact with anyone. Cost: 10% ether energy. CD: 5 minutes.

Passive/Toggle:

Flight: The user could fly like a bird in the sky with just 1 ether point/second of consumption.

Underwater breath: With the suit having the ability to automatically extract oxygen from water, the user could swim underwater without any breathing issues as long as the mask is kept on. No cost is required.

Neural Link: The user could operate the suit remotely by connecting his mind with the suit's core. Cost: Depends on the distance and time. Note: Once the suit is disconnected, it needed to be collected in person. Hence, there's a risk of losing it.

Enhanced vision: Through the inbuilt scope function in the helmet, the user can see the objects more clearly with 20x zoom. No cost is required.

Night vision: The user can see in the darkness as clearly as in the day. No cost is required.

"Damn, the improvements are too big. I guess I did the right thing to upgrade it after all. Anyways, there are others to check out for. Let's put this away."

Placing the exo suit back in his inventory, Mark proceeded to click on the rest of the rewards. He clicked on the unique skill ticket with a question mark.

The ticket disappeared from the inventory, giving him a skill.

*Ding! Metal Armor skill (unique) had been added to the skills list.

Metal Armor (Lv-9): The user can gather magic energy and turn his body into steel, increasing strength and defense stats by 2 points for ten minutes (Max: 10.9) Cost: 50% Ether energy. CD: 6 hours.

"Well, the skill isn't exceptional but isn't bad either. It might become useful in the future…"

Mark didn't like the skill that much as he was expecting an offensive type. He felt like he had enough protective measures already and didn't need another defensive skill. But then again, it is not like he paid for it. So, he was cool to have an extra one.

Closing down the window, he went on to click on the image of the next slot that coincidentally has a part of his name included.
