Chapter 793 Millionaire!

"Then I will go ahead and register you as a necromancer. From here onwards, you will receive a 5% discount on all materials purchased in the store, and you will be able to accept quests issued by the store."
The fairy then started explaining the rules of the store. "You can only accept a new quest after finishing the previous quest. Every quest has a deadline and must be completed before the deadline expires."
"You can also register your secondary professions to receive specific profession quests. Rewards are paid out after submission of the quest."
"For certain quests, raw materials are provided by the store, and in case of failure, these raw materials must be returned intact."
"Failure to do so would result in a permanent ban from the store as well as confiscation of something equally valuable."
While Liam silently listened, the fairy continued spelling out all the rules of the store. He was already aware of these rules, but he listened to them nevertheless. After all, this was the main reason why he had bothered to come here and register in the first place.
The list of rules was long, and it went on for a few minutes. At the end of it, Manager Tilia did not forget to add a familiar disclaimer. "Please note that all the rewards are only monetary. The store cannot issue any quests which will directly impact your strength."
Liam sneered inwardly. Why don't you say exactly what this meant? Why sugarcoat it?
In his last life, disaster struck when the second wave of monsters arrived, mainly because of this shop. Everyone had been so engrossed in finishing quests provided by the shop that they forgot that they had to train in combat as well.
This was simply a time-wasting endeavour for most people, and that was what the disclaimer really meant.
For Liam, on the other hand, the same did not hold true. So he was rather interested in these quests and, more importantly, in the rewards of these quests, which were essentially nothing but mana cores.
One needed mana cores to buy anything from this shop, and considering the mysterious nature of this shop, Liam was sure that it held many items of interest, specifically skills books.
Skill books existed not just in the tutorial world but also in the real world. However, obtaining them was an entirely different issue.
The ones sold in the store were extremely expensive, something that no one could afford even if they worked for days together, burning the midnight oil day and night.
And the ones that dropped from the creatures that were not native to earth had an abysmal drop rate.
How was one even supposed to hunt down hundreds and thousands of these creatures without the said skills in the first place? The entire thing was simply a vicious cycle of failure.
This was one of the main reasons why everyone became obsessed with the shop and grinding the quests.
After listening to the rules, Liam continued patiently waiting for the next topic, the biggest reason he was here and also why he raced before everyone else to get here.
And finally, the fairy came to this point.
"Now that we are done with the class registration, Mr. Liam I would like to inform you that your store card is ready." Tilia smiled and handed Liam a simple black card.
"Since you are our first customer, the store has rewarded you with 1,000,000 low-grade mana cores." She flashed another teasing smile.
Liam nodded and accepted the card. This was what he was aiming for. In his last life, Gu family's young master received this bonus gift, and he did not stop bragging about it.
But the idiot used the mana cores to purchase a basic skill and wasted the whole thing. Liam was not planning to do the same. He had a better plan.
He also intended to buy a skill, but it would be something that couldn't simply be learned naturally. There were many unique skills like that, the most important one being…
"I would like to make a purchase." Liam immediately said.
Tilia grinned as if she knew this was coming. "Sure, Mr. Liam. Here is our list of available skills. Please feel free to make your selection."
The next second, a panel flashed in front of Liam. Several skills were listed on it, ranging from common to uncommon, and the cost of each skill was ridiculously high.
The common ones cost about a million, while the uncommon ones were even more expensive. Liam's gaze lingered on the list for a while, but then he directly went for the one he had his eye on.
[Inspect]: 1,000,000 mana cores
"This one." Liam clicked on it. He tapped his card on the screen, and immediately all of his mana cores emptied out. At the same time, a rune appeared in his mind, along with a notification.

[Inspect: You gain special insight on the object of interest; Can be upgraded]
Liam closed the notification. He got what he wanted.
"That is a very good choice, Sir Liam. Anything else on your mind?" Tilia asked. She was also tapping away at some system notifications.
Liam nodded and got up from the chair. He wanted to have another conversation with this fairy in front of him, but now was not the time for it. He first needed to attend to some business.
"Thank you for everything. I will take my leave, Miss Tilia."
"Until next time, Mr. Liam." The fairy, too, waved him goodbye without getting out of her chair this time.
Both parties seemed to be engrossed in their own thoughts as Liam left the room and returned to the rest of the store, which was quite lively at the moment.
By now, the rest of the guild had also arrived at the building, and from the looks of it, everyone was shocked at the ridiculous prices listed for the store's products.
"Hey Liam, I got some mana cores as a reward." Alex was the first to notice him and walked over from the side, waving her black card at him. "What do I do with this?"
"Right." Liam absent-mindedly replied. "Do you know how many people got this reward and how many mana cores we have in total?"
Meanwhile, he opened his status screen to distribute his new stats and take another look at his newly acquired skill.
His status screen flashed in front of him, and unexpectedly, something new was written on it.
Name: Liam
Class: Dual Class - Necromancer, Soulmancer (Sealed)
