131 Important Decision 131 (1/2)

After placing in his storage the remainings of the three Met-3, Shu Himo thought, 'Shop! The fragmented legendary myriad of ways cultivation technique!'

[Opening the shop…]

[Fragmented Legendary Myriad of Ways(8th string) Dantian Core Formation realm cultivation technique. Cost: 450 BS points.]

[Fragmented Legendary Myriad of Ways(9th string) Dantian Core Formation realm cultivation technique. Cost: 500 BS points.]

[Fragmented Legendary Myriad of Ways(1q-Starting Soul) Nascent Soul realm cultivation technique. Cost: 1000BS points.]

Seeing the last one, Shu Himo's eyes widened in shock, 'System! What's wrong with these prices?'

The reason he never checked before the prices of the next fragments was simply that he never had the courage to do so… and seeing the price for the 1q-Starting Soul fragment he finally knew that he was right.

If the increase from the 9th string to the 1q-Starting Soul was of 500 BS points… just how pricey will the rest of the fragments be?

[The system is fair and just, there is no problem with those prices.]

Sighing in dismay, Shu Himo knew that the system was too greedy to reduce the prices, so he could only give up, 'I will buy the fragment for the 8th string.'

[Detracting 450 BS points…]

[Thanks for your patronage!]

[You now have 199 BS points!]

Feeling the string of information enter his mind, Shu Himo's heart was in pain for the loss of BS points. A moment later, he noticed that Aura Azusa and Phylia were walking closer, and Aura Azusa had a puzzled expression.

”How did you knew that there was a gem here?” Unlike Phylia, she did not know the existence of the system, so it was natural that she was puzzled about it.

Her question startled Shu Himo, should he explain to her or use an excuse?

Pondering about it, he realized that the worst choice he could make was lying to her, she was not stupid and would soon or later realize the truth, which would destroy the trust they possessed toward each other, or at best would force him to reveal the existence of the system anyway.

While he did not yet learn about her past, he noticed that sometimes she appeared hesitating over something, and believing someday she would talk about it he decided to not ask her, wanting to wait until she made the decision by herself.

If it was another person, he would not even consider risking anything by exposing the system and simply reply with an excuse instead, but she was different, being someone who he deeply trusted.

Considered all of this, he decided to reveal the existence of the system, even if only a part of it.

Having decided to not lie, he had to find a solution.

[Allowed.]

Having the approval from the system, Shu Himo smiled, with the help from the contract, there was no risk for information about the system being known by others, while at the same time he could refrain from lying.
