How did I turn the victim into Feng Aotian?

"I want to pay with the 'Balance of Things'."

“You even know this…”

Asmodeus sat back in the bamboo rocking chair. She raised her index finger and waved it, and the scales of objects on the shelf slowly floated down onto the table.

The appearance of this small and exquisite scale is an ancient dark brown, and it is a prop that can accurately control the value.

Shilok took out a bag from his ring, which was half the size of Shilok.

The bag has a certain magical space effect. All the crystals, crystal cores, and R coins and cash collected before, except for the items necessary for battle, are placed in it. It weighs at least 50 kilograms.

Insert one end of the scale.

The end where the bag was placed did not crush the scale or submerge it. Instead, it seemed as if an invisible hand was gently holding it up and suspending it.

The empty end showed purple-blue numbers—30, 42, 61....

"These figures will give the final value price, the unit is... 'ten thousand'."

"Ok, I know."

Although Asmodeus' tone was casual, Shilok knew she was not lying. He stared at the jumping numbers, like a stock trader who had bought all the stocks.

301.

"Wow wow wow... what we got is so valuable? Hill's view on money is a little shaken."

Hill exclaimed, his hands shaking.

"I still think the money I risked my life for is too little."

419.

"Brother, I think we can definitely help Dad pay off his mortgage in one go. Is this skill really that valuable?"

"some."

624.

Hill may have felt bored, so he went to chat with Asmodeus, while happily massaging Asmodeus' shoulders. Hillock remembered that it was a massage method to help his grandmother loosen up her tendons...

713.

"!"

The numbers stopped jumping and remained motionless.

Shilok's heart almost stopped beating.

"Big sister, it's too expensive, can you make it cheaper..."

Hill helped Asmodeus rock the chair, and Asmodeus took another puff of his cigarette with great enjoyment.

"This is the only skill in the store... No, this is the only skill in the entire dungeon."

"That's right..."

Asmodeus caught a glimpse of Hill's dejected expression, was silent for a while, then blew out three smoke rings and said calmly:

".....900 million."

"Eh?"

Hill sighed blankly.

"Let your brother figure out the rest. This is the final price."

Asmodeus closed his eyes and signaled that it was over. Hill continued to help Asmodeus massage here and there, while comparing wikis with Hillock with his eyes, and the massage strength of his hands was more careful.

My sister can reduce the price by 100 million just by saying a few words... With such bargaining skills, all the aunties who buy groceries would like to learn from her.

However, the money that should be taken out is still not enough.

The sooner you acquire this skill, the better, to avoid any further complications.

"Gu...I didn't want to use this trick."

Shilok had a humiliated expression on her face, like a female knight being captured and taken into a goblin's lair.

He slid open his watch, hesitated for a moment, and then made a call.

The phone rang no more than three times before the other party picked up.

"Hello, Cas? Yes, yes, this is Shilok. No, I'm not looking to borrow a BD from you, maybe next time. I'm calling to ask you for a favor... to borrow some money."

--------

Cass agreed readily, his tone like that of a grassroots employee who had worked hard for many years and had just closed his first big deal when he was promoted to chairman.

When Shilok used the teleport to return to the Explorer Hall and came to the driveway of the dungeon's commercial district, he saw their old butler Haider, who respectfully handed Shilok a box of money, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and said that Master Cass also had trustworthy friends, and that the child was too lonely, and so on and so forth talking about past memories.

So disgusting.

It should be said that it is inexplicable.

In short, Shilok collected enough money and used the function of the ring watch again to teleport to Asmodeus's shop.

Weird.

The other protagonists of Long Aotian are almost rich at this time, why am I so poor and in debt...

Give the money to Asmodeus, and Shilok gets the skill——

〈Alchemy〉

Acquiring powerful skills should be a happy thing, but Hellux was as calm as in the sage state.

Probably because he is now a “negative person” and has no money at all.

Forget it! I can earn money later.

You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you lose your life, it is really gone.

Shilok pulled himself together and crushed the crystal.

I opened the status bar of the ring meter and saw the words "Alchemy Technique", which made me feel relieved.

After doing this, he left with Hill.

"I will probably come back again, and I hope you will take good care of me then."

Shilok said goodbye with a smile.

"Really? You're my long-lost guests. I'll be lonely if you leave."

Asmodeus was quite nice and walked the two of them to the store entrance.

"If you want more customers, can't you just remove the barrier? Also, don't engage in fraudulent business."

"That's to protect myself. This is the only way I can avoid being disturbed by the goddess and do what I like in peace and quiet."

"Goddess? Big sister, you are obviously a devil, how dare you believe in God?"

Hill was stunned when he heard this.

Asmodeus smoked a cigarette and rubbed Hill's yellow hair.

Surprisingly, Hill did not resist and even wanted to touch Asmodeus' horns. Asmodeus readily agreed.

You two got along pretty quickly, didn't you?

Shilok fully appreciates his sister's social talent.

As for the later part, after killing the monsters, I was inexplicably dragged by my sister to go shopping (mainly to buy games), my sister treated me to a buffet (the kind with 4% off before pm), went to the movies (mainly action popcorn blockbusters), and wandered around the park until night. When I got home late and wanted to dye my hair, Hillock finally realized that it was Hill's trick to delay time, and insisted on dyeing it back, but Hill grabbed my body and begged me not to do it, but that's another story...

--------

From this day on, Cass, Shilok and his sister Hill, all carried out their respective activities in an orderly manner.

Exercise, attend classes, kill monsters, go home, and play games.

The peaceful days pass by one by one, but the uneasy heart feels more urgent as that day approaches.

Shilok also watches the news every day, and his father Claude complains at the dinner table that he is as old-fashioned as his grandfather.

Until this day, May 5th.

The day before the duel, the daily routine was disrupted.

99. Actual combat exercise

Thursday, March 5th.

The fresh air and the blue sky and white clouds complement each other, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Talos House.

The girl with orange hair and ponytail stepped on her own lawn, following the long-haired boy in front of her.

"A competition? Shilok, are you serious?

"Hmm - that's enough.....You are now at level 13, right?"

"Yes....but how did you know? Did I tell you?"

"Yes. Anyway, you will fight with Cliff tomorrow. Let's practice in a real fight. But it would be bad if you get hurt. Remember to wear protective gear."

"Oh—I have no objection."

Brid forgot her doubts about why Hillock said such a thing now, and couldn't help laughing.

Shilok led the way toward the back of the house.

Behind him, Brid could smell the scent of shampoo wafting from his long night hair, with a few strands of pure white hair mixed in that were hard to ignore.

The pressure is so great that I have gray hair.

While observing Hellock's walking posture, although his figure is still slim, the muscle lines can be trained to be more obvious, and his steps are stronger and firmer than before, but if you say that he hurts himself...

It's difficult.

"The question is, Shilok, are you really okay? You caught a cold before, so don't force yourself."

"Okay, that was two weeks ago. Let me show you the results of your guidance to me these days."

The Brid family's house covers a very large area, and on the west side there is a small but quite complete dojo.

It is usually used by her father Torna to teach his students. Now it is not yet time for the students to go to class, and Brid occasionally comes here to practice swordsmanship.

Brid and Shilok both entered barefoot. The entire dojo was well maintained, but even with the front and back doors and windows open, there was still a unique indoor stuffiness and the scent of bamboo grass.

Spring is coming to an end and summer is about to arrive.

The two of them bowed slightly, and then began to prepare.

The dojo provided protective gear. Soon, the two of them tied the ropes of their masks at the same time and faced each other in the center of the dojo.

Brid quickly stood up from her crouching position and used her bamboo sword to assume a mid-range stance. On the other hand, Hellock was——

"What is this action?"

Seeing the posture that Shilok took, Brid tilted her head in confusion.

The action can only be described as strange. He put his right foot in front and faced Brid diagonally, then sank his waist and lowered the tips of the bamboo swords in his left and right hands to the point where they almost touched the floor.

"Although I only taught you some basic combat theories and physical training methods, you are..."

"Don't worry about it. This is my original sword technique. Take it seriously."

"Oh."

Brid believed it, but she was quite disapproving in her heart. However, she still got ready again.

Hillock widened the distance between his feet and lowered his center of gravity downward.

Just as Brid was gathering strength to attack the half of Hillock's body that was exposed and preparing to rush forward, she felt something was wrong.

How did Hillock's messy posture suddenly become reasonable? Although he was full of flaws, it was difficult to launch an attack on him.

Brid smiled, she did feel it.

The aura formed by the tempering of the sword intent of Shilok.

He is also making progress in areas where I don't supervise him.

Just as Brid sighed inwardly——
