After Nelsen left, SAAI's voice sounded again!

"Please choose whether you want to activate the Life Zone."
Jacob's eyes lit up as the higher star authority meant less annoyance and more access to the star network.
He instantly replied, "I'll keep my rewards!"
"Faceless Ancient, you have voided your one time right!"

"Please note that the fine of 100 million ZC has been deducted from your final rewards!
"The rewards have been transferred to your 3-Star Zodiac Account!"
Jacob's lips curled up as he didn't mind deduction; he had already earned what he wanted, and now it was time for what he had been preparing for.
"I can sell anything I want to, right?" Jacob questioned.
"Yes."
Without hesitation, Jacob takes out all the useless weapons, potions, talismans, pills, and so on that he had created all these years while practicing his craft.
Some of them were sold through the alchemy guild channels, but there were too many, and he also had the treasury of Witch Palace. There were many useless weapons he didn't want. But they were all high quality, and selling them to the epic plains would only empower his enemies. So, he wanted to sell them to SAAI.
The champion shop was an opportunity that was hard to come by, and unlike last time, he was ready to go all out and prepared for it.
Soon, a massive pile of shimmering items gathered in the white space.
"All right, tell me how much they are worth," Jacob said calmly after emptying almost all his space rings.
"Starting scan…"
SAAI's voice sounded before a red light shone over the pile, and a few minutes later…
"Scanning complete, begins calculation!
"The final tally is 4.19 Billion Zodiac Credit!
"Do you want to exchange?"
"Do it," Jacob confirmed. He had already guessed the amount was around this much.
The next moment, the massive pile was absorbed into the ground, and SAAI's voice rang.
"Exchange successful!
"4.19 Billion Zodiac Credit has been transferred to your 3-Star Zodiac Account!"
Jacob's star watch vibrates, and he instantly checks his new balance, which is now 19.39 Billion ZC!
'It's reaching the same amount I had in one of my accounts in my past life. But unlike before, this money is useful…' Jacob sighed with a hint of nostalgia. He knew money would lose value in his old world once you have everything, even the world.
But here, the more he had, the better.
Still, he wasn't done, as 28 space rings appeared in his hand. They were all locked with mystic signatures, and 9 of them were from A-0. Unless he had a mystic signature, they were useless to him, and he didn't know how long it would take to condense one. So, it was better to sell them.
"I want to sell these rings and contents within." Jacob impassively stated.
"Starting scan…"
A red light suddenly shone on the rings before vanishing.
"Scanning complete, begins calculation!
"The final tally is 6.06 Billion Zodiac Credit!
"Do you want to exchange?"
Jacob's eyes widened slightly, "Can you tell me what is inside?"
"10 Million ZC for appraisal."
"Do it!"
"Scanning result:
"Basic Epic Rank Items: 4,994,144 (Space Rings: 24, Weapons: 41, …, Life Crystals: 4,991,405)
"Intermediate Epic Rank Items: 1,844,414 (Space Rings: 3, …, Life Crystals: 800,739)
"Advanced Epic Rank Items: 476,100 (Space Ring: 1, …, Life Crystals: 419,990)
"Basic Unique Rank Items: 8 (Life Crystals: 8)"
"What?" Jacob was shocked when he heard so many life crystals were in those rings, and he suddenly thought about the nine rings of A-0!
Life crystals could only be harvested by the dark beings from the life essence of the living. He was pretty sure that the people he killed here didn't have those life essences. The dark beings he killed also didn't have any space rings.
"Are the life crystals in these nine rings?" Jacob quickly pointed toward the nine rings to confirm his guess.
"Yes."
Jacob frowned darkly as he thought about the Killer Skull Society and how desperate they were to get their hands on these rings. So, it was impossible for them not to know what was inside them.
But what he couldn't understand was how, in the world, A-0 had so many life crystals, all of which were epic ranks, and eight of them were unique. What the hell were they up to, and how did they get their hands on millions of life crystals?
"What are the uses of Life Crystals, and why are they so expensive?" Jacob had to ask this question to clearly understand what was going on.
Furthermore, SAAI was buying them, and their price was higher than all those items he had sold just now.
However, the answer from SAAI sent a chill down his spine- it wasn't what he expected!
"This information is classified as 4-Star. You don't have 4-Star Star Privilege!"
