[Hey Nan Tian. Can I ask you for something first?] "Oh? Little Snow's asking me for something? Well this is pretty unusual." Nan Tian said. Shiro pulled a slightly annoyed face. "Alright alright. Sure, tell me what you want and if it's simple enough I should be able to get it." He chuckled as he knew he shouldn't push her buttons too much. As cute as her annoyed face was, he knew he would be in trouble if he went too far. [I'm asking about an item. Medicine type. I don't know the name but the effects should be something like a rebirth of the whole body.] "Expand on 'rebirth of the whole body.'" Nan Tian asked. There were multiple types of rebirth medicine but each effect is slightly different. There were rebirths as in change races, reset their level, change genders etc… He didn't know all of them and 'whole body' was a rather vague term to be working with. [Something like washing the body and revitalising it. Repairing any hidden injuries no matter how serious and purging the impurities within the body.] "Ah, you're talking about the Phoenix Rebirth type pills. Why do you want to know about them?" 'Seems like he's not suspicious.' Shiro thought with slight relief. [Because cleansing the body should increase a person's potential along with their stats, right? So, a lot of people should want the pill.] Shiro replied. "Hmm… I suppose. But you should know that a full rebirth would be extremely painful and mostly fatal. People would normally choose a 1 to 5% rebirth." Nan Tian said with a shake of his head. [I see. I wanted to increase my potential since it's a little limited right now.] Shiro sighed. "Little Snow, as a monster, shouldn't you have the 'monster' title? Why didn't you kill more people to level it up? That should help you increase your potential." Nan Tian said. 'How did he know...' Shiro thought with narrowed eyes. "It's pretty easy to guess. Especially since I know that you killed two people now. One in the raid and one for the item." [True. But, I'm not going to go around killing low level innocent people who've never crossed paths with me. I would go for criminals or bandits, but seems like the government is doing a good job of keeping them at bay.] Shiro shrugged. "Hou~… why do you seem more humane than some humans? I'm pretty sure that over 70% of people would go kill poor and under levelled people just to level up their title. And yet you're almost like a saint compared to them. And you're a monster too." [First, NEVER EVER Call me a goddamn saint. I refuse to have any connection with the likes of some bullshit being known as god. Second, I'm not doing it because it is against my code of conduct.] Shiro typed out with a serious and almost angry face. Nan Tian paused seeing how much repulsion Shiro had just at the mention of her being a saint. 'Seems like anything related to the church is a no go for her.' Nan Tian thought. "Alright. Then can I call you little snow then?" [As if you're going to change just because I said so.] Shiro rolled her eyes. "Hahaha, true. But following the topic from before, what is your code of conduct? I am rather curious." [It's simple. I help people who I find interesting. Ignore people who I don't find interesting. And if they attack me first with the intent to kill, I naturally kill them in return. I don't bother with that whole, return kindness with 100 times the kindness and return pain with 100 times the pain.] [100 times is rather vague. Just say repay kindness with kindness and pain with pain.] Shiro ranted slightly. "Hahaha, seems like you read a few books? Eastern fantasies tend to include that a lot." Nan Tian laughed. [I just found a few extracts when I was browsing on the net.] She shrugged. Follow current on novelenglish.net
"Hmm, do feel free to pay me back with 100 times the kindness though~" [You sure it isn't 100 times the pain for all the times you stalked me?] Shiro replied. "Ah, I never hurt you though. So it'll be 100 times the stalking. This branch master feels happy that you're taking so much of your time out to hang out with me." Nan Tian said shamelessly. [As if. I got better things to do than stalking a stalker. But back on the topic of the Phoenix Rebirth Type pills, do you have any on you?] Shiro asked. "I don't have any on me as of this moment. I can probably get one sent over, but it'll only be a 1% to 2% rebirth pill." Nan Tian replied. [What do I have to pay?] "Nothing. Just join my branch and that'll serve as payment." "…" Looking at her unamused face, Nan Tian coughed lightly. "Fine. Normally a 1 to 2% rebirth pill would cost around 5 large Silver Erin's. Which in dollar terms are around a few trillion give or take? I'm not too sure." Nan Tian shrugged. [Erin? You don't use dollars?] "No. With the amount of dollars the monsters are dropping, it gets a little out of hand. Therefore, Erin Smith made the premium currency, Erin Coins. These coins are made using a special type of process that only a few people know. "I don't know what happened exactly since this was a long time ago, but now the higher-level adventurers all use Erin Coins as the main currency. Dollars are only used for lower level adventurers." [Then what's the lowest exchange rate for Erin?] Shiro asked, curious about this new currency. "The lowest Erin coin is bronze. Followed by silver, large silver, gold, large gold, Platinum and so on. A billion dollars equate to 1 bronze Erin coin so 5 large silver Erin's would be around 50 trillion dollars then." '50 Trillion?!' Shiro thought. She had never expected a single pill to cost her 50 trillion. [Then your potential awaken stone from before, how much would it cost in terms of Erin?] Shiro asked. "In terms of Erin… probably a Platinum Erin Coins." Nan Tian said. 'Platinum?!' [And you thought it was a good idea to put it on sale?] "How else was I going to attract the level 50's away for you to get the Awakening Stone?" Nan Tian gestured at her. [True.] '50 Trillion… How do I even pay that…' Shiro thought seriously. 50 trillion was indeed a large sum. However, it was a small price to pay to fix her broken links. Even if it only fixed her links by 1%, it was worth it. [What exactly do I have to do in your sect branch?] Shiro asked. "Nothing. The sect is just a place to nurture talents. Outside of the times where the sect is in danger, you don't need to do anything." [But what is in it for the sect? Helping out people with just the demand of assisting when it is in danger seems too good to be true.] Shiro narrowed her eyes. "Ah you see, I had the same thought when I first joined. But it's the truth. From what I've seen, in the many years I have been in the sect, the sect master just honestly wants to nurture talents." Nan Tian Shrugged. [Seems a little off though.] "How about I cut you some slack then? You'll be something like a mysterious sect member that I recruited. You can use the disguise skill that you have to hide your identity. All I ask is that you help me out every so often if you can." Nan Tian said with open arms. Follow current on novel-online.com
[How often?] "Let's say it depends on what you can do. If I have a task within the area you are in, you can help me out a little. Naturally, I wouldn't ask you if the task is too hard for you. "But whether you agree or not, I'll still get you the phoenix rebirth pill." Nan Tian said as his body flickered away. "!!!" Shiro paused in shock seeing how fast he left. '#######!!!!' Cursing at him mentally, Shiro frowned. 'He seems serious about getting the pill. How do I pay him back…' She thought whilst furrowing her brows. *BANG! Smashing her hand against the table, Shiro gritted her teeth in annoyance. There wasn't a way she could pay him back unless she joined his faction or give him some data on advanced technology. The first was a no go for her since it meant that he could order her around whenever he liked. The second was also a no go since there was no way she could protect herself if the advanced technology was tracked back to her. "GODDAMNIT!" Shiro cursed. "Little Yin! We're going to the dungeon!" Shiro stood up. Walking out her room, Shiro didn't pause and dashed into a level 35 dungeon. 'Who pissed her off?!' Was the thought of people who saw Shiro's expression and realised her identity. Entering the dungeon, Shiro stomped down and reached her hand out. Metal and lightning sparked violently as a spear was constructed along with some gauntlets. The gauntlets were decorated with a few holes near the hand and elbows. On top of the metal plating, there were a few neon blue circuit-like patterns that turn red the moment Shiro grasped the spear. Pulling back her arm, Shiro gritted her teeth and gathered mana into the gauntlet. *KISHHH!!! The holes on the gauntlets lit up as they revealed themselves to be mini rocket propellers. "HAAAA!!!!" She shouted out the moment she threw the spear. *Kish Kach! Parts of the spear broke off as more rockets revealed themselves. The rockets caused the spear to rotate, becoming a drill of sorts, smashing through the dungeon walls and into the next room. *BOOOMMMM!!!! *KSHH! Steam blasted out from the gauntlet as the rockets turned themselves off. "Sorry, this miss is a little pissed." She said while her eyes glowed with a blue colour. With the newly opened hole in the wall, the monsters started to bunch up together as they charged at her with anger. Slamming her palm down on the ground, a giant magic circle erupted outward with a mix of neon blue and yellow. "Die." She said coldly. A blizzard appeared with lightning striking around the blizzard. While the spell raged on, Shiro created a nanotech bow along with a few arrows. *BOOM BOOM BOOM Follow current on storynovel.net
Each of the arrows were explosive types with each explosion ripping a limb off the monster. ### Sitting in front of the obelisk for the boss room, Shiro sighed at the fact that she didn't level up even though she had cleared everything in the first and second floor of the dungeon. Unfortunately, Yin didn't class up either. Looking at the bird resting on her shoulders, Shiro sighed slightly. 'What kind of requirements does Yin even need to fulfil…' Shiro thought with a shake of her head. However, a good piece of news would be the fact that she managed to collect all of the D ranked mana stones she needed to star up. Smiling at the fact that she was pretty lucky with the amount of mana stones she managed to collect, Shiro tapped the star up icon. Ice started to spread out from where she sat. *Krrrrrr A thin layer of ice was formed on the top of her skin as Shiro could feel the changes occurring to her body. *Kin~ A soft shattering sound could be heard. Looking at her body, she sighed in disappointment seeing as though she barely grew. 'While my body hasn't changed much it seems like my hair did.' Shiro thought. Looking at her hair, which lacked any hints of midnight blue, it was instead replaced with a baby blue blended colour into a white near the tips. Scratching her head slightly, Shiro sighed seeing the changes her body goes through with each star up. 'What kind of change would I get for my level 50 class up I wonder…' Shiro thought with slight feelings of anticipation. 'Perhaps I might even get a decent body figure. Large b.r.e.a.s.ts are a no go since it'll throw my balance off. Not to mention huge b.r.e.a.s.ts are such a pain. Probably medium sized b.r.e.a.s.ts? Yeah. Medium sized b.r.e.a.s.ts seems about right.' Shiro thought to herself. Looking at the benefits of [Snow Girl ★★★] , Shiro smiled to herself since the benefits she received increased by quite a bit. First benefit was 30 more points to allocate per level up. This brought her points per level up to 250 free attributes. Second benefit was a 1% increase to her ability effectiveness. While this may be a small percentage compared to her other bonuses, 1% would eventually become a huge amount the higher her level was. And the third and last bonus was one that she extremely adored. [Ice Field Affinity – Passive (Tier 1)] When the user is exposed to a cold environment, natural healing plus MP regen is increased. EXP gained is also increased. Effectiveness depends on how cold the environment is along with the tier of the skill. Every monster would have a preferred area they liked to fight in. Example being if a fire dragon was in a volcano, their abilities would gain a substantial increase in power. With her being able to create an ice environment and be able to reduce her MP usage, she'd be able to fight longer and harder. Stretching her body, Shiro walked towards the obelisk and teleported to the boss room. The boss room was a simple room. Four main pillars that supported the room along with a huge chandelier that hung off the ceiling. The walls were decorated with some simple engravings In the centre of the room, was an elongated squid-like figure. It had no skin and muscles could be seen stretched along its entire body. No legs as what was there was just a mass of tentacles. Its arms were eerily long with densely packed mouths visible to the eye. Its face was covered with a tightly stretched layer of grey skin. No eyes, no nose, no ears. Just a single opening for a mouth. [Otherworldly Caster – LVL 35 BOSS] HP: 500,000/500,000 MP: 1,000,000/1,000,000
