Dante gnashed his teeth in anger as he watched Liam jump from one gathering array to another without proper focus for the past several hours. He clearly was not doing anything useful as he had not even been in any room for enough time to train properly. All the guy was doing was wasting his money left and right. Now he was once again back to the gambling den. Dante's emotions rose to the peak as he was once again reminded of the windfall the damn bastard had fallen ass first into.If he had this kind of luck…
As he was daydreaming, Liam first walked towards the mineral ore counter. His first plan was to use Violet to make some decent money in this department and amass as many rare materials as possible but now that was not going to happen.
However, Liam still decided to give it a go. Even if Violet was not there, he was still a proud partner of four other legendary rank beasts and one Luna. Surely, these guys might be able to sniff something out?
And thus it began. Liam did not hold back and let out all of his newly acquired beasts one after another. The group sprawled on the counter, some chirping and some slithering. Along with them, a tiny little fox also made its appearance.
The entire counter suddenly became a spectacle. After the beast egg counter, was it now the turn of the other counters? Onlookers gathered around, their eyes wide with wonder and envy. Whispers and murmurs filled the air. Even the store manager had the same question as he hurriedly walked over to the counter, sweating profusely. "Grandmaster, you are still here? Ha Ha Ha." The fairy laughed nervously.
"Yes, I would like to make some purchases. Show me what you have."
The store manager had a bad premonition. He pushed aside the fairy typically manning the counter and personally started showing Liam the wares. Ten huge mineral boulders appeared on the countertop the next second.
Liam waited for a second to see if any of the beasts would respond but none did. So he shook his head. "Next."
The store manager, now understanding what was going on became even more anxious. Though the system bans all kinds of inspection methods, some beasts still possessed an innate ability to sense materials they were attuned to.
He had had things like this happen before and every time he had made a huge loss. Not to mention, his store had already made a huge loss. He was still walking around at the moment thanks to the fact that the loss was partly recovered from the mad rush to buy all of the eggs. But this did not mean that he was ready to take another huge loss.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. Wait, could he? The store manager once again called back the fairy who was previously manning the counter to attend to Liam and started tapping away at his system interface.
Seeing the serious expression on the man's face, Liam knew that something was going to happen. So he hurried along with this selection. One after other rows of mineral chunks were sniffed, poked, and prodded by his beasts, and finally on the sixth display, Luna pointed to a boulder with her eyes shining as brightly as stars.
[Master, I want to eat this!]
"Got it!" Liam nodded and immediately purchased it. He went through the rest of the display as well with the phoenix and the wyrm making their own choices. The crowd loudly booed Liam and everyone shouted that this was cheating. Though no one knew what these mineral boulders might possibly contain, these were still items selected by legendary beasts so how could it be simple?
Unfortunately, it seemed that Liam was not in violation of any system rules. The store manager already knew this. He was not the first person to use this loophole and he wouldn't be the last. It was just that anyone who was rich enough to bond with a legendary beast generally did not waste their time on the gambling floor. So there was no reason for him to do anything about it.
Of course, except for this eccentric Grandmaster who acted as an exception. The store manager did not know what this sort of a person was still doing in a system shop or at least in his shop.
He sighed and continued working on something to put a stop once and for all to loopholes like this. He was going to apply to the system to change the very rules of the gambling den!
Meanwhile, Liam had already made his selections. With the help of the little baby monsters, he selected ten boulders and paid the money for them. Naturally, there was a public reveal feature for this counter too and Liam once again made the crowd bleed in envy as one S-rank material after another was revealed when the boulders were split apart in the system refiner.
There was even an SS-rank material in the mix, the one that Luna wanted to devour. Right in front of everyone's eyes, the little fox directly jumped onto the piping hot semi-liquid processed metal chunk and directly gulped down the whole thing.
The others were more obedient and waited for Liam's instructions. Liam casually tossed everyone back into his spatial artifact along with the processed materials and asked them to do whatever they wanted inside.
Every single person in the crowd stared daggers at Liam. If there was someone on the floor who did not hate Liam, now even that person seethed in anger and envy.
"Bro… we are not going to get out of here alive…" Rey inched closer to Liam afraid that one of these angry brutes would lose it and take it out on them. There were several bloodshot eyes staring at them with open hatred.
However, Liam remained calm. "It doesn't matter. We will never step out of the system shop."
