Mark's expression changed as he saw the system's offer.
*Ding! Attack Helicopter-EC 665 is the price.
Just a mont 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 sothing 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 sothing 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 co 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 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 anti.
As the glowed died down, Mark received the confirmation.
*Ding! Exoskeleton suit-VII has been successfully upgraded to Exoskeleton suit-VIII. Check out its details for the changes.
