Walking towards the place with both my abilities activated, I hunted for zombies on my way there. I saw that the number of Lesser E-Grade was getting lesser and lesser. While at the start they were in abundance, now the number of E-Grade and Lesser E-Grade was more or less similar to each other.
'By the end of the year, I guess there would be no E-Grade left, or even D-Grade, to be honest. Most of them would be C-Grade and enhanced probably,' I thought as I wondered how I should approach this change.
While making people under my care strong is one of the things I should do, making them too powerful might create problems when I reverse the process. I need to be really careful about how to deal with this.
While I didn't have any ans to search for the other leaves, I still had that Plant Laboratory Dungeon to look at. Maybe it can provide with another clue to reverse the process. Hopefully…
'Hmmm I should look at [Second Space] as well. Since I upgraded it, the exchange increased to 36 hours.
Including the ti I spent in the laboratory, a total of… ummm… about 150ish hours might have passed within the [Second Space]. The Crona plant might have stored a few Cronas now…
'Hmmm… maybe I should first check that space out,' I thought before finding a nearby building and then
'How long before soone attacks , disturbs or does anything to ?'
[2 Days: 12 Hours: 12 Minutes]
All right.
[Second Space!]
Using the skill, I entered the white room once again as Rhea's face greeted .
"You have evolved your space, huh? Good. We should be able to get more ti now," was the first thing she spoke to before I moved towards the Crona plant.
[Tree of Crona(Uncommon)
Effects: Generates 15 Cronas per hour.
Current Stored amount: 2500 Cronas
Limitations: Can store only 2500 Cronas
Special: Evolvable(Require 50,000 Cronas to evolve)]
I saw that the Crona was filled up, and I imdiately took the Cronas before proceeding towards the [Dungeon] Screen at the corner of the room.
I browsed through it before finding that I still couldn't really salvage this dungeon. Looking at the whole set of options and stuff, I decided that it would be better to use [Dungeon] only after I have collected at least 20,000 Cronas.
This ti I kind of regretted selling that skill [Ti Snatcher]... never knew I would be needing Cronas this much. Even Rhea didn't hesitate in asking to sell it, so I thought maybe it wasn't that great of a skill.
'Though I am alive because of the club that I bought after selling the Skill only so I guess it wasn't really a bad investnt,' I thought before pondering and turning at Rhea as I asked,
"Hey Rhea, is there any way to get more Cronas? Or maybe faster?"
Hearing my words, she pondered a little before speaking,
"There are various ways of doing that but…. Hmmm… let's see… Okay, there are 2 ways which are suitable for you to get Cronas if you can put in a little extra effort. That is other than the ones which you already have."
A sudden surprised expression appeared on my face as I looked at her and she began explaining the ways,
"The first is selling things. While an object itself won't give you enough Cronas but let's say the handgun you have with you or the sharp knife, those would give you about 5 to 10 Cronas. So in a way, as long as you can keep supplying enough weapons and other stuff, you can get so extra Cronas."
Hearing her words, I realized that it did make sense. Even last ti I tried selling the shotgun there was a price tag on it. I guess the fact that it was so cheap that I didn't bother checking it again made forget about the whole thing.
Though…
"What other things can be sold?" I asked with an interested gaze, and she pondered before speaking.
"Anything that provides a plus point to survival, protection, evolution and reproduction of an organism, I guess. The more powerful it is, the more it will be sold for."
Hmmm…. I wonder how many things fall into that category and how much would they be worth?
"Hmmm. What's the other thing?" I asked and Rhea spoke,
"It's not really sothing that I suggest, but since you are desperate for Cronas and you have already evolved the [Second Space] so I guess this should give you an option too."
There was a bit of hesitation on her face as she looked at and I spoke,"what is it? Speak already."
She sighed before speaking,"Bring a living person and sell him or her to the [Shop]"
"..." For the next few monts, I just kept looking at her, wondering if what I heard was exactly the thing I heard.
"Umm… can you repeat that?" Just to make sure, I asked again.
"I said, bring a living person and sell him or her to the [Shop]," she said as she sighed and looked at .
"Sh*t," I looked at her before speaking,"you could have told that before," with a really regretful expression.
"You… don't feel bad about selling your own kind?" Though it was Rhea who was surprised with my behavior. Oi! Oi! It's you who suggested that. Don't make that expression now.
"No, I an… well.. I just killed soone… he was a r*pist and I kind of hate those kinds of scumbags and all. If I had known I could get Cronas by selling him, I would have given him to the [Shop] long ago. Actually, it's making regret not doing that now," I thought with a regretful expression.
Still… no worries…
A smile ford on my face as I realized that maybe I will find so more people there… though honestly… I should be wishing that I won't find any of them at all. But well… That's a fool's thought… at least given how this world is..
"Ah! Wait… what about the zombies? Will they be sold for sothing?" I asked, but Rhea shook her head as she spoke,"no. The zombies are more of a threat to almost everyone and, more or less, they are present everywhere in abundance now. No point in selling sothing that is already available."
It made a bit sad, but I guess I know what to do next.
"You have a really creepy smile on your face, Michael," spoke Rhea, looking at a bit horrified, but I just looked at her with a pondering expression as I spoke,
"Don't worry. I have my own rules and stuff when it cos to dealing with humans. Been doing that for quite so ti now. If they have a chance of redemption, I usually give one last push to save them just for the sake of it before moving to what I have planned. Keeps more humane than most humans."
I have seen so of them go beyond redemption. So down that even death would be a rcy to them.
"Hmmm… on that note, most of the humans… no, all humans are corrupted with Cessation Energy. Will that create any problem?" I asked again, and she shook her head as she spoke,"as long as they have so of their originality, it is fine."
"What about other races? If I co across another race and, well, let's say I end up selling them, will it create any problems?" I asked again with a curious expression. Though I don't think I will be that greedy to let a specin or more like such a precious source of information go just for Cronas, unless, of course, I don't have any other option.
"Not really. Though that depends and varies from race to race and planet to planet," Rhea spoke and I nodded as kind of understood what she ant by that.
"Hmmm, so I guess, I kind of know what to do now. This makes going to that high school all the more necessary now," I pondered a little bit more about it. Though despite needing Cronas, I guess I won't exactly be using this thod for a long ti, I suppose.
As soon as I start salvaging from the dungeon, I guess by that ti, I won't really be needing to sell people in the [Shop].
"All right then. Anything else?" Rhea asked, and I pondered the number of things that I needed to do here before I left.
"Hmmm… a few things, but I guess I will need Cronas for that, so for now… nothing I guess," I spoke before standing up and then looked at Rhea as I spoke,"et you tonight then. I guess I can practice for about 50 hours per day now," and then vanished from there as I saw Rhea nodding.
