Buying Arts And resources.
2 days later, Alan was meditating inside his new training room. After breaking the news to his mother, he immediately took his family to view the house and hired a moving service.
The moment Lily and his mother entered the house, their eyes sparkled with happiness, and little Lily went on a rampage as she checked every corner of the house.
The first floor has the kitchen, living room, and a guest room; one storage room; and one more empty room that Alan converted to become his training area.
On the second floor, four bedrooms and two baths occupied all the space there.
Going back to Alan, who right now was meditating as he opened his eyes and looked at his own data reflected in his view.
Name: [Alan Ortex]
Stage: [1st stage] [19%]
He found out that by focusing on a single piece of information, he could find out more about the specific type of data, for example, his own stage, as he was in the first stage, crossing 19% of it.
From the moment he awakened, it has been many days till now, and yet according to his progress, he only progressed about 1 or 2% each day.
To break through to the second stage He would need at least 3 months, although that was already fast, as a normal individual might take 6 months to 1 year to break through from the first stage to the second stage. Of course, resources can greatly shorten this time.
Looking at Nova, who was having a meal near him, Alan was happy as Nova's progress is even faster than his.
Name: [Nova]
Stage: [1st stage] [54%]
The importance of resources was extremely evident as Nova had consumed multiple cores already, yet for him, who was meditating with the basic meditation technique, Not using any resources at all, that clear difference in progress is as clear as a person's reflection on a water body.
Alan immediately logged into his beast Tamer association account to purchase a much needed resource immediately.
Looking at his account that has over 20 million federation dollars He knew that with this much money he could buy a decent amount of resources.
First and foremost, Nova's resources, The last time he could only buy core shreds of the space attribute, today with his capital he intended to buy complete cores to feed Nova.
After searching for a while, he found a second stage and a third stage core with a space attribute that fit his needs.
Space attribute treasures and cores are always rare and always in demand, so the price reflects that.
For the second stage core, one core is worth around $500,000 federation dollars.
For the third stage score, one is worth 1 and 1/2 million federation dollars.
Alan already made his mind up and purchased 8 second stage cores and 2 third stage ones at 7 million federation dollars.
He also purchased 200 kg of first-stage beast meat and 50 kg of second-stage beast meat at the price of 500,000 Federation dollars.
For space-type treasures He couldn't find anyone that is in the range of his budget, as the cheapest one is worth 25 million federation dollars.
Having finished purchasing the resources needed for Nova for the time being. He shifted his focus to himself.
Beast tamers are not useless accessories that only let their tamed beasts fight for them.
In fact, in most cases the tamer fights alongside his own beast.
Alan already read the description of the arts the school provided, and he found them very basic; they will not adhere to his needs right now.
So he went in a search on the association website to find one defensive art and another offensive with movement art, plus the most important, which is the meditation art.
After almost an hour of scrolling down multiple pages on the website, he finally narrowed down his target and picked the four arts he needed.
Name: [the thousands palm wall art]
Class: [silver class art.]
Description: [A defensive art that uses the power of the palm to deflect incoming attacks, it is of the middle silver class. By employing the principle of absorbing and deflecting incoming attacks, it is one of the most impressive defensive arts for low- and middle-class beast tamers and Ena cultivators.]
Price: [2 million federation dollars.]
Name: [iron fist art]
Class: [silver class art.]
Description: [an offensive art that is focused on delivering the most amount of damage at a single point where a fist comes in contact with its target, it is of the high silver class art. The iron fist art is the preparatory art for the high-class art at the adamantite fist art.]
Price: [2.5 million federation dollars]
Name: [light feather movement art]
Class: [silver class art]
Description [is a movement technique that is focused on the light movement crossing the distance, riding the wind as lightly as a feather and as sharp as a sword. It's a low silver class movement art]
Price: [1.5 million federation dollars]
Name: [nature sublimation meditation art]
Class: [gold class art]
Description: [A meditation art that is attributeless, focused on assimilating oneself into nature and blending with them, and an extremely refined, hard-to-grasp meditation art of the high gold class art.]
Price: [5 million federation dollars].
All the arts were carefully selected by Alan to suit his needs right now, especially the meditation art, which can determine his cultivation speed, so he has spared no effort and money to buy it.
Heading to the last page to make his last purchase Alan purchased a small formation plate for $250,000 federation dollars. This formation plate is used to extract the Ena inside beast cores, as humans, unlike beasts, could not devour or eat beast cores directly, so the predecessors came up with the way to use the plate formation to extract the Ena inside it and increase the concentration of Ena around the plate in a specific area.
By cultivating near the plate, beast tamers can absorb the surrounding Ena much faster.
But this method has a high percentage of waste; in simple words, it is very wasteful.
According to the latest research, humans only absorb less than 5% of the Ena inside any given core.
After buying that formation plate, Alan also bought 15 second stage cores for himself to cultivate.
Bringing the total amount of what he had spent to 20,250,000 federation dollars. With less than 750,000 federation dollars left in his bank account.
Alan felt that becoming a millionaire was a mere dream that he had, although it made his heart ache, but all of these expenses were necessary, and he already knows just how much of a burning occupation it is to be a beast tamer.
It didn't take long before a drone delivered all the items to the backyard of his house.
After sorting out the beast meat inside the huge refrigerator that he bought yesterday, Alan focuses his attention on the rest of the items that he bought.
After moving the cores and the formation plate to his training room, Alan focused his attention on four crystal necklaces that looked extremely pleasing to the eye.
The crystal necklaces were called knowledge crystals; it can transfer any amount of knowledge from one person to another, immediately allowing the person using them to fully understand and comprehend the information inside, at least to a basic degree, cutting down the time needed to learn the art or the knowledge from scratch.
He immediately uses them one by one, learning the defensive and offensive arts with the movement technique, and the one with the most importance is his new meditation technique.
The amount he finishes using one crystal, it will collapse and disappear, as the knowledge crystal has many types. The most used is the single-use knowledge crystal.
Closing his eyes and entering a meditative state, almost 3 hours have passed; opening his eyes, a great deal of knowledge reflected in his mind.
Alan immediately started practicing the three arts to improve his defense and attack method.
As he said previously, having the power of a first-stage cultivator but not having the tool to exert it is like a child holding a hammer, swinging it and waiting to hurt himself.
Immersed in his practice Alan didn't notice that Nova headed toward the 3rd and 2nd space attribute cores while salivating. Nova swallowed one third-stage core and immediately closed her eyes and slept peacefully.
Late at night Alan exited the trance state he was in while practicing all the 3 arts, completely exhausted he saw that Nova was sleeping so he immediately put her in his sanctuary and went to take a bath and eat something.
It was late in the night, both his mother and sister were already fast asleep.
After he finished his light meal, he went back to his room, sitting cross-legged on the bed. He immediately operated his new meditation art, the nature sublimation arts. He was shocked to find that his efficiency had increased by at least 10 times from before. The difference between the basic art provided by the school and the one he bought from the association site is as vast as the difference between Earth and heaven.
Entering the meditative state Alan slowly went into another trance.
