Lilim Heritage Online Chapter 143: A Gamer and Gold Diggers

Chapter 143 – A Gamer and Gold Diggers

Grandmother Min stared at the calculator in Dio's hand and mumbled to herself. She also operated her game menu to explore the universe gold price.

Gold was still a valuable ore in this era despite the countless mines and many resources plundered from other dimensions because it was the main ingredient of an artificial element, Feihonium, which had been discovered by a space traveler by the name, Feihong.

It was named after the person. However, Feihong mysteriously disappeared after he had published the mineral code and its potential usage to the mass. Many believed that the founder passed away in space, but none of them found his trace, corpse, spaceship, or managed to track his journey logs.

Still, Feihonium brought a scientific breakthrough in this century. This mysterious mineral could reinforce computers, spaceship components, psionic devices, and electronic applications.

This mineral was also one of the main ingredients of Li Engine, which had higher performance than psionic engines of old. Unlike the psionic ones which required an overmind or someone with a psionic skill to operate, a common esper could use Li Engine with 98% efficiency.

As a result, the demand for gold to synthesize Feihonium kept the gold price afloat. The MWG continued using the ancient trading system to acquire more materials from the mass and their insiders, VIP gamers.

"I thought it was 500 or 502 yesterday. Since when has it turned to 530?" Grandma still grumbled, regretted that she had not stocked gold before the price spiked.

Dio smiled, "The moment Lilith announced the changes. The government bought half of the gold in the market, and the price inflated. Actually, it went up to 579, but many VIP gamers sold all their gold to make some profits. You can guess what happened after that."

"Ah, I get the picture."

Meanwhile, Mia was dealing with his sisters.

"Can I have some of the money? How about a couple million, so you can help me restart my life?"

Sasha's face reddened in shame as she asked Mia.

Looking at his sisters acting bashful, Mia jested, "If you and Natalie become my second and third wife, I'll give you ten each."

Sasha froze on the spot. She glared at Mia in anger, "Do you think I'm a gold digger? Am I not your sister? Hell, why should I go out with you when you already have Shurka?"

"Chill, sister. I was just kidding. Don't take it too hard."

"If you want me that much, give me a billion. Then my body and my soul is yours."

"…"

Mia thought, 'That sounds wrong on many levels.'

"A genius gold digger," Natalie looked at Sasha in awe and astonishment. Inspired by her sister, Natalie also bargained, "I only need a hundred million, Mia. Want me as your bed warmer?"

*Mew!* (Holy cow! Too many cyka! Don't do it, Mia. One is enough. Trust me!)

"I trust you, Tama. You two, I was joking. Stop messing around."

Sasha grinned and hugged Mia's left arm, "I'm not joking, though."

Natalie wiped her drool while her eyes still glued at the gold. She gulped and hugged Mia's right arm.

"I change my mind. Take me. I'm giving myself for free!"

"You …"

At this moment, grandmother Min noticed the development and burst into laughter. On the other hand, Dio coughed.

Realizing the presence of the adults, the two girls separated from Mia, embarrassed.

"Would you like to convert the cash into diamonds, or would you like me to transfer all the money into your account right away?" Asked Dio.

"Put everything my bank, please. By the way, will I get a discount if I buy diamonds in bulk?"

Dio shook his head, "My deepest apologies. We're selling diamonds at a fixed price."

Mia bit his lower lips. With 4 billion worth of cash, he could only buy 4,000 diamonds. Combined with 3,373 others that he had in his inventory, he was still short by 2,627 from his goal 10,000.

Still, he was confident that Fluke Luckyaf would not allow his relative to get experimented by MWG, and he would do something about her game capsule. For now, he would return into the game and collect diamonds.

.

An hour later, Mia returned to his grandmother's spaceship. He bid farewell to everyone and rushed back to his game capsule like a game-addicted junkie.

Sasha and Natalie looked at parting Mia with a complicated expression. They had been with Mia for years, but now, they had to live a separate life.

Sasha turned to Min, "Will the other girls be alright, Miss Uriel?"

"Call me grandma, child."

"O-Okay, grandma."

"Well, I contacted someone who can deal with the fairy. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Who did you ask for help?"

"A lunatic that lost his daughter in-real-life and wanted to resurrect her in-game. Yet, he experimented on her to make her his perfect daughter, so she could be his wife later. A twisted bastard."

"…"

Sasha and Natalie did not understand whom Min had mentioned, but they were confident that they could rely on this person.

"Come, children. I need to take you back to your parents. They should have been worried sick by now."

Mentioned about their parents, they blinked and frowned in confusion. They attempted to recall their old memories, but they could not remember their parents' face.

Natalie shook her head in disappointment. Then, she recalled that Mia had not seen his parents yet.

"By the way, grandma. Where are Mia's parents?"

"My son-in-law and my daughter? They're working at the colony we had been just now."

"Why didn't you take him to them? Won't they worry about Mia, too?"

"… They do, but they can wait."

Mia got back into the game once more. Since the subscription was monthly, he could log out at any time within the month.

On Mia's game screen, the subscription timer revealed 29 days, 20 hours, and 14 minutes, which translated into 716 days, or almost 2 years in game-world time.

'At least, Lilith is kind enough to use the real world's time scale. If it's an in-game timer, I wouldn't be able to rescue the local mutants.'

While Mia was checking the change of his game menu, he noticed several unread messages.

Three days had passed since Mia's absent. As Shelter 88 was undergoing an expansion project, many reports piled onto Mia's logs. Most of them were construction reports, while the rest were the resource management, which Sebastian and Crystal handled them.

Not only the construction logs, but the game also summarized the performance of the expedition teams, and Mia received the boons of being their castellan.

'It feels like I'm playing an idle game. Log out for a few hours, and I got several levels without doing anything.'

A few of them were Shurka's messages. Since Mia had promised her that he would come back in a couple of days, she freaked out after the third day.

In a hurry, Mia messaged her in-game, so she would be relieved that he did not abandon her here.

Also, there was a peculiar message that caught Mia's attention. It came yesterday in-game.

Curious, Mia switched his game status menu to rankings.

1. Esper Private - Level 37 (137) – Pioneer King

2. Psychic Trainee - Level 131 – Dove

3. Hunter Division Trainee - Level 129 – Misha

4. Esper Private - Level 20 (120) – Homeless Billionaire

5. Esper Private - Level 19 (119) – DaVinci

.

Pioneer King and others had changed his combat class to a soldier with the rank of private. His level report was also different from others as he had the (137) after his level.

'The total level is 137? I guess he must have reached the max level of 100 and changed his class. But why is Dove level 131? Doesn't human's level capped at 100?'

Mia was surprised. Since only mutants could raise their level above 100, Dove might have mutated into something. Unfortunately, the game did not reveal which race the players had.

Even though his total level had been surpassed, Mia did not mind it. What mattered in this game was to overall status attributes and skills, not the superficial level.

Maou Mia cracked his fingers and gazed at his status attributes. It was time for a status boost, aka eating all the fire ants and green gels inside his inventory.

"Tama, can you cook?"

*Mrrr?* (Cook? What's that?)

"Never mind. Let's go to the kitchen. It's time to prepare for a feast."

*Nom-Nom!?* (Feast!? Is it food!?)

"Yeah, a lot of fire food."

*Nom-Nom!?* (Fire food!? Let's go!!)

.

.

.

Three hours later

Mia stared at the remaining fire ants in his inventory. These ants could give him more status attributes than he had expected.

One worker ant gave him 30 points.

A nurse ant granted him another 49.

A soldier ant gave 70.

A queen ant had 100.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

And the king ant blessed Mia 200 points.

Unfortunately, the game did not allow Mia to obtain the points indefinitely by eating more fire ants. He could only get a limited amount for each type of monsters. Furthermore, these bonuses increased his status randomly, so Mia had no control over the attribute adjustment.

Also, Mia ate every green gel he had in his inventory, so he could boost his skill caps to the maximum for his current race.

As for the free attributes, Mia assigned them all into DEX, so his muscle reflex could become a little faster.

Unlike Banana Mia, Maou had a better idea of how he could play the game efficiently. With many red gels, Mia exchanged them in the market to get green gels for his skill caps.

Now, every skill caps reached the ceiling that an inferno dragonewt could possess. From now on, it would be a long and arduous grinding.
