Chapter 1068 - Master And Disciple
After finis.h.i.+ng his punishment, Alex went to the castle, finding Lin Xingzhi and Ragi first.
They set up a meeting in a room, where Ragi began his explanation.
"First of all, I have gotten the information from my father, saying that there is a promised place where you, my father, and the others will meet. Unlike a normal Divine World, this world is ruled by monsters instead. Of course, they are not like your typical monsters.
"Despite having a frozen surface, the planet"s core could be considered as one of the highest ones, so I think this will be a perfect place for you to train."
"Can I know what kind of place that is?" Alex asked with a serious expression.
"The world is filled with volcanoes that kept erupting every now and then, creating a layer of smoke in the air, making the surface temperature drop significantly. That"s the reason why this world is freezing outside but warm inside."
"I see." Alex nodded in understanding. He learned this knowledge back on Earth and people called this phenomenon Ice Age. Earth had undergone this process in the past, so he could understand this world perfectly. "Any survivor?"
"No. There are no humans or whatsoever. Only monsters. The ten beasts are waiting for you on the planet because the ashes of that planet are suitable for their cultivation. With them being so familiar with the G.o.dly Pure Fire, they believe that you can reach Rank 5 G.o.d quickly.
"Of course, I know that you wish to have a vacation with your wives. After several considerations, I think this place can be it, especially if you think it"s covered by snow instead of volcanic ashes. Besides, it will be a new experience for your excellency."
"Fair enough. If it"s not suitable, I can simply ask them to go somewhere else." Alex nodded.
"I have asked them, and they all agreed to it." Lin Xingzhi finally opened her mouth.
"Really?" Alex widened his eyes, never expecting them to agree that easily.
"Rose said that she could practice targeting the ashes. They are perfect to practice her control while enjoying the world. Evelyn has Fire Element, so this will be a beneficial trip for her. The same applies to Letizia. The world is freezing, so as long as she gets a nice cover, her cultivation will increase faster. As for Silvia…Volcanic ashes are a kind of medicine. As for Axis, her student, I have asked her, but he decides to stay here for the time being and ask permission to enter the library. For now, he can only read anything about normal knowledge, not considering our famous Martial Arts and the likes."
Alex nodded. "Since they all have agreed, I won"t reject it. Let"s go then."
"I know you said that." Lin Xingzhi smiled and waved her hands. It turned out that they were already waiting outside this whole time.
"Yes. We are going for a vacation." Rose raised both hands while jumping with that smiling face. "I am going to dip down in the so-called hot spring."
"Right. The concentration of volcanic ashes determines its quality, so with this kind of world, I feel like I can get Rank 9 Volcanic Ashes. It won"t be at the level of White Ash Tree, but it is not that far." Silvia smirked as she planned to harvest the ashes in a huge amount.
"I am just going there to open the umbrella for Master…" Letizia looked down.
"What? I know what you are planning." Evelyn pouted while narrowing her eyes. "You must want to use that time to flirt with him. I mean, the umbrella won"t be able to cover one more person, so you will have him for yourself."
Letizia blushed and looked away while saying embarra.s.sedly. "I am just doing my job as a maid."
Evelyn"s fingers wiggled around as she raised both hands vulgarly as if she stared at Letizia"s chest. "How about telling the truth?"
Letizia covered her chest and took one step back. "I"ve told the truth."
"But you don"t say your real intention." Evelyn leaped toward her before her movement was halted as Alex grabbed her collar. "Alright. That"s enough."
"Fine." Evelyn pouted.
"Anyway, since you all don"t have problems, I don"t have any problem. Let"s go then." Alex nodded with a smile.
"I think I will be going too." Lin Xingzhi suddenly raised her hand.
Everyone looked at her with a surprised face, but only Alex understood her real concern. "I understand."
Since the others didn"t understand her motive, she explained. "You can"t expect me to trust them that easily, right? I know that Phitrus was your mentor. I would have no problem in trusting Phitrus, but I don"t have the same opinion to his G.o.d Beasts no matter what you say."
Ragi acknowledged her concern and said, "I will be worried if my sister in your situation, so I don"t have any problem."
"When are we leaving?" Rose asked.
"That"s a good question. Any of you have something that you need to finish before leaving?"
None of them nodded their heads, so Alex continued. "We will go tomorrow then."
"Then, I will be spending this day with my student." Silvia was the first to leave as she hurriedly walked to the library.
Ragi also took off somewhere after saying, "I will say my goodbye to Leka and Heilo."
Ragi seemed to have gotten along with them, so Alex didn"t really mind about this and let him do so.
"I am going to bully her." Evelyn smirked and pointed her finger at Letizia as both of them began their game of tag.
"Master. Can I spend time with you?" Rose asked politely since she didn"t know whether Alex had the time or not.
"Sure." Alex smiled and patted her head before turning to Lin Xingzhi.
"I will be asking Anna or Anya to take over my job. And I think it"s better for you to open the Gacha first. I have adjusted the entire system too."
Alex suddenly remembered and opened his gacha.
[Gacha Point: 75097]
[Gacha Coin: 905]
[Spirit Crystal Harvested: 3,225,797]
"Oh. There is a new option."
"Yes. Due to the last world where you only planted your dungeon, I believe that I need to create one parameter to allow you to know how much you have made. Of course, the number is too low at the moment, considering that you only have one main world and one secondary world.
"The main world is focused on the Spirit Crystal while the secondary world is the one focused on the point and coin."
"I understand." Alex nodded with a serious expression. "Is there a limit to how many dungeons I can make?"
"I am not sure, but I think one hundred worlds is the limit. You can get a few billion Spirit Crystals every year if you fill eighty percent of them with the main world."
"I will pay attention to it."
"Alright. Have fun with your Gacha. You only have one chance. Make sure to treasure it." She smiled before she disappeared, heading to Anna and Anya.
Alex turned to Rose and found that she was staring at Alex"s stat.
"Master. Can I open one? Pretty please?" She begged him with eyes wide open and pouted, trying to act as cute as possible.
"It seems that you have gotten the sickness."
"I just want to open more Gacha, considering that I only have two types of Gacha. After knowing that you have several types previously, I just want to test it myself."
"No, no. I am talking about your addiction to open Gacha when you don"t get a good item." Alex patted her head while laughing.
Rose looked away embarra.s.sedly as she couldn"t refute him.
"Fine, fine. You can open it. Treasure this chance because even I haven"t opened this one yet." Alex smiled.
"Master is the best." Rose leaped and hugged him for a moment before she turned around, still clinging on him, and saw that the Coin wasn"t enough. "Are you saying that because you know you can"t open it yet, Master? Bad Master."
"You naughty child. Look how fast you change." Alex shook his head helplessly while saying, "Exchange every point to coins."
[Processing.]
[Gacha Point: 97]
[Gacha Coin: 1655]
[Spirit Crystal Harvested: 3,225,797]
"There, you can open it now." Alex sighed.
"Hehe, Master is the best. Rose lied just now." She playfully stuck her tongue out and pressed the b.u.t.ton.
[Processing.]
Suddenly, a box appeared on the screen. It had a golden cover with many white dots on it. Above its head was tied into a ribbon like that of a present.
The lid raised forty-five degrees as between the lid and the box appeared another screen like his slot machine.
However, Alex could recognize them. They were all the exclusive items from the Gacha System: Weapons Mastery Cards, Elemental Orbs, and many other random things.]
Surprisingly, the spin ended after it hit the Sword Mastery.
"Is this a legendary newbie luck again?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"What newbie? This is my luck." She pouted. However, her eyes told him otherwise as her eyes glazed. "Why would I get this lucky even though I wasn"t lucky this whole time."
"There…There…" Alex stroked her hair gently as he smiled at the reward.
[Sword Mastery Card Acquired.]
"Now, I am wondering whether to give this to Evelyn or Letizia because they both need it." Alex fell into deep thought.
"I think you should give it to Sister Evelyn. She uses it more than Sister Letizia. After all, the latter has Pure Ice Element."
"True enough. I will give it to her later." Alex nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Rose."
"Uhm." Rose was still clinging to him as she buried her face on his chest. "Master…When was the last time we had a time alone? Now, I don"t even get time alone with Master…Even training is fine."
"Do you not like the others?"
"No, no. I like… I love them. However, sometimes, I feel like I want to have alone time with you. Even a day is fine."
Alex closed his eyes and smiled. "You know what, there was a little game I love to play back when I was a child. Do you want to try it?"
"Is this for a child?"
"Not really. Even adults enjoyed it if they wanted to relax." Alex smiled.
"Then, I want to try." Rose made a big smile as she released him.
"Let"s go to the garden then. We have a big tree over there, so it"s perfect." Alex smiled as he led her to the garden where they found a ten meters tall tree.
Alex tied a wooden plank into the branches with ropes. Yeah, he made a swing.
"This is it." Alex presented the swing. "Sit here."
Rose followed his instruction.
As soon as she sat down, Alex gently pushed her back as she began swinging back and forth.
Feeling the small breeze and peaceful time, she couldn"t help but smile. "This is indeed enjoyable."
