Chapter 14 GETTING A WEAPON I

[DAILY QUEST UPDATED]

Roshan was greeted by that message immediately after he opened his eyes.

'Darn system...' he thought as he read through the message.

[The system is only trying to help the user]

"Did this thing just reply to me?" Roshan jumped up from the bed as he heard that.

But no answer came this time. Instead,

[Daily Quest: Walk 5000 steps]

[Steps: [0/5000]]

"Hmmmmm. At least it sounds easy enough."

Roshan went down on his hands and started his physical training. Even though he had a system that could easily... scratch that, that could give him strength, as his system never really gave him anything easily, he knew not to rely too much on it.

After two hours of exercises, he jumped into the bathroom and took a shower before heading out.

"Master Fyi, good morning to you. I'll be back before lunch," he said and dashed out before the old man could say anything.

Fyi looked at the back of the boy as he disappeared before grumbling,

"That's what you said yesterday." He looked away and continued with his tea.

Roshan walked into the market. He still had that Level 3 Beast Gem from the Gotou Beast, and he planned to sell it.

Looking around, he saw different shops, some filled with beast weapons, some filled with jewellery, some containing technological equipment like the training bot he fought with, while others contained food and snacks.

What he needed right now was just a few minutes' walk away from him.

He walked over to a shop where different Beast Gems were being sold.

He examined every one of them with his eyes, and he could feel the intense energy from each one.

Before he could even speak,

"Ohhhh, a handsome customer. Welcome! What do you want to buy? Tell me what you desire. I'm sure I have one to suit your taste and requirements, or perhaps you want to give one to a young maiden. She must be very beautiful if you have decided to get one for her, and I have just the right one... hohoho," the man chuckled when he saw Roshan's face brighten red, thinking he was blushing.

Little did he know that Roshan was fuming with anger.

'I just arrived, and he didn't let me speak before saying utter nonsense,' he scrunched his face before calming down.

"No, sir. I wouldn't like to buy anything. I just want to discuss something with you," he spoke up as he saw the man searching fervently for something.

"You don't want to buy anything? Then leave here. I don't like to waste my time." The man's character immediately changed as if someone had pressed a button on him.

"But I wanted to give you something." Roshan immediately brought out the gem and placed it in front of the man.

The green gem glowed as it was brought to light.

"Ohoho... what do we have here?" The shopkeeper ignored Roshan and brought out his tools as he began to inspect the gem.

"A Level 3 Gem... I see. How much do you want for it?" the man said as he eyed Roshan.

The weak child must have stolen the gem. It doesn't look like he could kill a Level 3 Beast. I could just give him some little change.

"A thousand credits," Roshan said immediately without blinking his eyes. He knew how much these gems were worth, and he wouldn't let anyone dupe him.

"A thousand credits? Boy, don't play with me." The shopkeeper said, looking at Roshan before moving his eyes to the gem.

"This thing is probably worth five hundred credits," he said as he took another look at the boy.

"If you don't want it, I can sell it to someone else for a far better price." Roshan took his gem immediately and was about to go when the man suddenly called his name.

"Alright, wait. I'll give you eight hundred, and that's all I have," the man said as he eyed the gem again.

In this kind of little town, gems like these were in huge demand because no one had the courage to go and hunt except a few. That was why the man thought the boy had actually stolen it.

"Alright." Roshan grinned and brought out his card.

The man brought out his own card, which was blue in colour, totally different from Roshan's, which was white.

The white card meant only 0-1000 credits were placed on it. If the amount of credits increased, the cards would change colour.

The next level of card was the 1000-5000 credits card, which was green, followed by the blue-coloured card, which contained 5000-15000 credits.

In this era, getting credits was a lot harder as a lot of things were destroyed by the Daegis. Still, humans worked hard to ensure things could at least return to normal.
