White Night took it and scanned through the contents carefully.
Densely-packed names appeared in the notebook.
‘Grinding Peak, Elsie Peak, Snake Demon Peak, Two-Headed Snake Peak, Red Dragon Peak, Black Wolf Peak, Red Sand Peak, Icy Prison Peak.’ There were eight names in total that were listed there.

I arranged them according to difficulty from the easiest to the hardest to get quests. The last four are the grades that have higher rankings among the Two Hearted Peak Masters. It’s harder to get quests from them,
explained Short-haired Blondie while smiling.

Higher rankings?
White Night suddenly recalled the short fight he had witnessed in front of the automatic doors previously. Thoughts stirred in his mind faintly before he said,
The name of the Peak Master of Black Wolf Peak… is Garen?


Yes, the Black Wolf Peak Master does not usually appear personally as both of his helpers will negotiate on his behalf for all matters. He’s the type of person who trains himself painstakingly with great concentration. Royal families that came to visit from certain kingdoms were even obstructed and sent back. Rumor has it that he was merely a Level Three Energy Machinist when he first joined the sect five years ago but was able to achieve Level Four now within five years. He progressed really quickly.
Another one of his roommates continued and said,
White Night, are you planning to go to Black Wolf Peak to get an outsourced quest? Don’t say that I didn’t mention this but when I got this piece of intel, my older brother specifically reminded me that it was extremely difficult to get subcontracted quests from Icy Prison Peak and Black Wolf Peak. Both of those Peak Masters have very high expectations and their respective powers are ranked within the first fifty positions. Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.

His roommate also had short white hair and came from a family with good financial circumstances. He liked dressing up and shopping and had an appearance and physique that matched that of a handsome young man. He came here to enhance his social status and was not used to indifferent individuals like White Night. Therefore, his tone was not especially friendly when he spoke to him.
He sneered when he glanced at White Night who remained expressionless.

Each of these high ranking Peak Masters are individuals with extremely high expectations. If I were to say it bluntly, they’re basically unreasonably demanding. You’re in for a good time if you offend a Peak Master by being unable to complete one of their requests.


Don’t joke about that. Those Two Hearted Peak Masters belong to a whole different grade from us. We don’t even have the right to even think of offending them. They are the most exceptional elites in the pursuit of the Inherited Path. It would be good enough for us to merely achieve the grade of Level Four within our entire lifetime.
Short-haired Blondie sighed while shaking his head.
Within some of the smaller sects in the Northern Yu Province, Level Four Energy Machinists were the backbone of the peak elites who easily received millions in their yearly salary. They would be given the best treatment when they returned to their hometowns.
The distance between Level Three and Level Four resembled a pit. Many people were unable to break through to the next level throughout their entire lives. Those with Appraisals like Short-haired Blondie and his other roommate were only considered to be at the grade of normal people. They would need to spend a huge amount of time, energy, and resources to upgrade themselves to the next level.
It was already difficult enough for them to evolve to the third level because they merely belonged to the grade where their computing skills were considerably better. Although they were still considered to be first-rate in smaller areas like the Northern Yu Province, those without more than two points worth of computing powers in core places like the Scarlet Snow Sect did not even need to dream of entering Level Two or the Grade Four of the Scarlet Snow Technique.
The natural limits of computing powers made them extremely afraid of making unreasonable demands. Therefore, they would be satisfied with yearly incomes of a few hundred thousand to a million Universal Units. At their current grades, it would be simple for those desires to become reality as long as they achieved Level Three or Level Four grades.

I’ll spend four full years here before returning to carry on my mother’s company. After all, I’m not planning to make it big in a place like this. Despite being strong, there will always be someone who’s stronger than you in an awful place like this,
said the white-haired boy while shaking his head.
It’s a good thing that I came inside to experience it once. It has satisfied me for an entire lifetime. This is the greatest haven for Energy Machinists in the Northern Yu Province!


My only dream is to break through to Level Two within these four years before graduation!
sighed Short-haired Blondie emotionally.
Whatever, it’s pointless to overthink this because it’s still early now. Where are you guys planning to go tomorrow?


I’m going to Elsie Peak.


Going to Black Wolf Peak.
White Night answered in a low voice.
Just as he had finished speaking, the other two people glared at him silently.

I’m just going to try my luck.
White Night deadpanned while shrugging his shoulders.
I’m going back to bed.

He ignored the gazes of his two other companions and turned around before returning to his own bed.

Garen looked carefully at his own Attribute Pane after it had changed.
Only a few potential points remained there but new and completely different contents had appeared on his Genetic Pane clearly.
‘Blood Eagle Gene — Middle-level gene, current amplification speed: Level Two, limit is Level Three. Natural Ability: Blood Control.
The completion rate of the genetic chain is extremely high. Continuous enhancement will automatically select gene fragments that are currently in stronger states. There is a certain probability that it will enhance itself and revert to the Blood Eagle King.’

Blood control?

Garen clenched his fist before suddenly moving his hand towards the edge of the Biochemical Pool and raising it towards a blue colored Big Wolf there.
An invisible force enveloped the surface of the blue wolf’s body instantly. It let out a low roar suddenly and stood up to look around itself vigilantly as if it was slightly agitated and uneasy.

The effects aren’t half bad.
Although he was only using a small amount of force, Garen could feel that he could affect the speed of the blue wolf’s blood flow. If he were to release it fully, he could probably control its blood temporarily and make it stagnate. If he could use this temporary stagnation against his enemies, the effects during combat would be extremely amazing.
‘Master, Hillco is requesting to communicate.’ Suddenly, a voice echoed from the villa’s central control system.
Garen was currently trying out the state of his upgraded Blood Eagle. He exhaled slightly when he heard the noise.

Connect the line.

After a brief low ring, the voice of Hillco, who was one of the two main helpers, echoed over.

Senior Brother Garen, there’s a guest here for you. This person is a member of the Merci Kingdom’s royal family. They said that they were here to deliver something you needed.


The Merci Kingdom’s royal family? I don’t think I had any contact with them, right?
Garen furrowed his eyebrows and walked to the side. He put on the clothes that were hung up and fastened the buttons properly.

The person who arrived is Her Royal Highness, the Royal Princess of Merci but she has come with an extremely humble attitude. Do you want to see her?
asked Hillco quietly.

Did they say what they had brought with them?
asked Garen somewhat impatiently.

They said it’s one of the ores that you announced and asked to be found previously,
answered Hillco simply. This was due to her issues in being a slow learner hence she was mainly in charge of receiving and relaying important information, while the other person named Bainster was responsible on operational matters and actions going out.

One of the ores that I announced previously?

Garen’s mind stirred.

Let them wait in the hall. I’ll come over immediately after I’ve finished changing.


Yes.

Garen’s face remained unchanged. He moved quickly and tidied his clothes. He wore the Two Hearted pauldron that was supposed to be worn by Scarlet Snow Sect members to identify them before wearing the white cloak that was used during ceremonies. Only then did he take long strides out of the biochemical lab and walk forwards through the corridor. He reached the front of an elevator quickly. Once he stood inside, the elevator moved upwards rapidly.
Ding…
Half a minute later, the elevator stopped before Garen walked out of the two silver doors that had separated and opened.
A group of people were in the hall waiting for him.
The leader of this group was a golden-haired young woman with a noble disposition around her. She was not old and seemed to be only twenty-something years of age. Her long golden hair was coiled up high and she was wearing a pale blue, figure-hugging long dress while a black shawl hung from her shoulders. The most prominent thing about her was the exquisite white-gold ornamental crown on her head.

Your Highness the Royal Princess has traveled from afar to come here. Pardon me for making Your Highness wait such a long time.
Garen put on a subtle smile the moment he met them. He strode forward before lifting the Royal Princess’s hand and kissing it briefly and gently.

You’re too kind, Black Wolf Peak Master. You’re currently the twelfth ranking powerhouse in the snowy peaks and have a vast path ahead of you. My reputation is inferior compared to yours because I’m merely a princess. All of my friends call me Aine so you may just refer to me that way as well,
smiled the Royal Princess while speaking gently.

Your Highness Aine, I don’t think that I’ve had any direct contact with the Merci royal family before this? I’m not sure why you are here to visit me this time?
Garen signaled the other person to sit down before he sat at the main seat.
He gazed at Her Royal Highness carefully and sized her up. Princess Aine was rumored to be one of the famous beauties of the Merci Kingdom and it seemed that she looked just as brilliant in person now.
Her noble disposition was tinged with hints of an easy-going personality. She also had a perfect physique that comprised of an ample bosom and slim long legs while her skin was fine and smooth like a bright pearl. When she sat down gracefully, both of her thighs were pressed together tightly. However, there was a thin slit at the side of her long skirt that made it possible to faintly glimpse the secret place between her legs.

I heard that the Black Wolf Peak Master is currently looking for an ore called the Red Peacock Stone?
Princess Aine smiled faintly before motioning the maids and bodyguards beside her to bring a black box forward.
She took the box and opened the box gently, showing a red ore on a piece of black silk.
The ore was as glittering and translucent as a crystal. It revealed a naturally pure but indescribable qi faintly.

According to the laboratory tests, if you did not make any mistakes or omissions in the arrangement of the ore’s compositional table, I believe that this ore might be the thing you require.
Princess Aine knew very well that being concise was one of the keys to dealing with these Energy Machinists because they were research and training maniacs. Not only would she be unable to achieve her desired outcome if she ran around in circles while discussing over complicated details, she would also end up with a blunder from overreaching. Therefore, the best way to make dealings with them was to get straight to the point.
Garen narrowed his eyes and observed the ore inside the box carefully.
Would you mind if I take a look at it?


Of course not.

The Royal Princess passed the box to Garen.
Garen pinched the ore from the box gently. His face remained indifferent but large tides were faintly overturning in his mind.
Not only was this a Red Peacock Stone, it was also a Red Peacock Stone ore of the highest quality!!
This thing could only be discovered within the deepest cores of the mines. Its’ density and degree of purity were both shockingly high.
Garen had merely touched this ore but could already feel the desire in the Strands of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique in his fingertips that wanted to devour it insanely! This desire resembled a bone-corroding, numbing itch that was difficult for the mind to endure.
Garen forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart to devour it before raising his head and looking at the Princess.

It’s true that this is the ore that I need. However, how many more of these ores are there in the Kingdom?


That depends on how many more you need,
said Aine, smiling.
Garen knew that the other party was preparing to negotiate.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Within a reasonable range, I would need at least one tonne of them. Assuming that they are the same density and purity such as the one in your hand, I could buy all of them from you at a value that is slightly higher than the current market price.

He used a similarly vague indication to respond. Neither of them wanted to expose their own baselines now at this time.
Princess Aine smiled.

Frankly, my Merci Kingdom has a total of five mineral veins like this. To us, these ores are one of the raw materials to extract high-energy fuel. It’s a vital material that is wholly controlled by the kingdom’s nobles. Since your quantities and demands are slightly higher, I can only gather the total amount that you require if you give me a certain amount of support.


Support? As the Royal Princess and one of the top three figures within the Merci Kingdom, why would you need the support of a lowly Peak Master like me?
Garen smiled as he replied.
