Strange Worlds-Chapter 246: Trade (2)

"That’s the White Family, right?"

"Yes, I didn’t expect they’re so rich."

"Don’t you know that many stores belonged to the White Family? It’s not surprising for them to have a lot of money. But why do they give so many magic cores to the young lady of the White Family?"

"Looking at the trading list, the cheapest is still at the price of rank 3 magic cores..."

These people were discussing and Aya walked out, ignoring them. As long as they were not close to her, they would not be able to see what she bought.

The only person who knew is Silas.

Silas looked at Aya thoughtfully. The White Family and the Black Family were indeed richer than other families in Wansu City. After all, they were engaged in various businesses in Wansu City. But no matter how rich they were, it would be impossible for them to get so many rank 5 magic cores.

Most of the magic warriors in these cities were only rank 4.

In order to reach rank 5, they had to accumulate far more mana and then learned the rank 5 magic spell. Not many magic warriors were capable of doing that.

At least, publicly, not many people are willing to admit that they were already rank 5.

Some of them did that but some others chose to hide it and only showed the power of a rank 4. Because if they reached rank 5, they would be assigned even more difficult task from the Fourth Head.

After all, a rank 5 were already at the forefront.

When Silas himself reached rank 5, he chose to hide it and after he reached rank 6, he didn’t want to show it either. In the end, he kept on hiding until he reached rank 7 and on the surface, he was stuck in the rank 4 for a long time.

Thankfully, no one was suspicious.

Because there were indeed people who had stuck in rank 4 for decades and could not advance again. The amount of mana they could increase as time passed would decrease and this caused them to be unable to reach rank 5 in their entire life.

Anyway, because of the lack of higher ranked magic warriors, there were not many people who could hunt rank 5 magic beasts. Silas knew that Nathan had taken some mission related to hunting rank 5 magic beasts in the past, which showed his strength.

But afterwards, Nathan told him that he had to use the magic core to trade for resources.

Since Nathan couldn’t use those magic cores directly, he could only exchange it for some other resources that he needed more.

And in Wansu City alone, the number of magic cores in circulation was limited. free𝑤ebnovel.com

One of the people who collected these magic cores was naturally the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. He wanted to use these magic cores to help the few alchemists in Wansu City and other profession masters to grow. After all, the resources they needed included these magic cores.

Silas knew because Nathan said that he directly exchanged for resources from the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

The strength of the White Family and the Black Family were actually quite similar.

At least, they used to be quite similar many years ago when they jointly formed Wansu City so that they could also get more resources.

The business of these two families also didn’t really overlap with each other.

They had their own.

But from what Silas knew, it would still be hard for them to buy rank 5 magic cores. 10 rank 5 magic cores were not that easy to buy and would the stingy White Family Patriarch willing to give so many valuable magic cores to his daughter?

Silas doubted it.

"It seems that my student is quite rich," Silas said slowly. "But she still likes to pit her teacher to buy her food."

*cough*

Aya looked away.

"Am I right?" Silas teased.

"That’s different!" Aya complained. She was indeed quite rich but the valuable things in her hands were these magic cores that she couldn’t show easily.

If she suddenly came up with a rank 7 magic core, then people would start questioning where she got it.

Aya didn’t want to tell them that she had reached rank 7, okay!

"What’s the difference?" Silas rolled his eyes, amused by Aya’s behavior. This little girl is really something.

"I can’t use them," Aya mumbled in a low voice, feeling a bit depressed. If she had a stable source of magic cores that she could tell others, she would have already exposed it. Unfortunately, Aya couldn’t do that and could only try her best to hide it.

Besides, she didn’t really need money that much.

These money were mostly exchanged for more resources for Aya. And eating these ordinary foods was no longer that satisfying for Aya. She needed the food that contained more mana.

So eating these foods were mostly only for her taste buds.

Of course, Aya would still maintain eating a lot since she has always been eating a lot in the past. Why should she change it now?

The only problem was that her wallet was crying.

Silas chuckled when he saw Aya’s resentful look. It seemed that she couldn’t use these magic cores too much.

Hmm, wait...

How did Aya get them in the first place?

If Aya were to go out of Wansu City, there would be many people who knew about this. He himself would definitely be informed that his students were not present. But he had never heard of Aya coming out of Wansu City.

The White Family might not treasure Aya that much, but the White Family Patriarch would not let his daughter face danger so easily. So if Aya were to go out of Wansu City, she would have to be accompanied by many other magic warriors.

But Aya was able to come up with these magic cores.

Did she trick the elders in the White Family to give her some of the resources.

...or she got them by herself?
