Aaron stared blankly at the five Magic Crystals on the table—white, green, blue, red, and yellow—each radiating a different elemental energy, and a hint of regret rose in his heart.
Elemental Crystals, a premium materials pack representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Each one cost three hundred Magic Points. Five of them came to fifteen hundred Magic Points.
He had thought his luck had exploded and that he had pulled the legendary Light-and-Shadow Stones. He had even been preparing to make the Five Elements Armor.
But could someone tell him what the hell these five diamond-shaped crystals, each about the size of a finger, were? The gap between expectation and reality was way too huge!
"System, I need an explanation."
"What explanation?" the system asked, confused. "Are these five Elemental Crystals not worth fifteen hundred Magic Points?"
"They are, but they're a little different from what I expected."
"That has nothing to do with this system."
Aaron paused, then gritted his teeth. "I do need these five Magic Crystals, just not right now. They're too expensive, so could you..."
"Goods sold are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
However, considering that the host spent over ten thousand this time, they may be repurchased at a low price.
The repurchase price is one thousand Magic Points. Does the host accept?"
Aaron nearly choked. "You win."
"This price is already very fair, and this is a one-time offer."
"Heh! No need." Aaron snorted, then opened his personal panel.
