Gacha Sovereign
chapter-927

"Interesting." Alex smiled as if he planned something. It was an easy way for him to earn points this way, but he needed to see whether it was worth it to spend his money on. He also often killed unnecessary monsters during his mission. If he could sell them this way, it would be a kind of bonus for him.

Nonetheless, he felt there would be a huge use of this market, so he wanted to observe it first before making his decision.

"You can see there is a huge number of requests per day, and there is a chance that you take a mission that someone has unintentionally finished during their own mission and so on. I don't have anything to say other than saying my condolences, so yeah, good luck on that." Melvie shrugged.

She was concerned about Aria, but with Alex beside her, she should have no problem in getting a mission. Alex wasn't a fool to begin with, so they might be stronger if they fought together.

"Do we have a quota or something? Like we need to get a certain number of missions in a period of time."

"Nope. You are completely free. Just make sure that if you are taking too long, you won't be able to upgrade your status from inner disciple to core disciple. After all, the sect will only provide resources this way. Unless you have a huge backing behind you that is capable of forking out millions of Spirit Crystal, I doubt you can reach God Stage that easily."

"Fair enough." Alex nodded with a serious expression. To boost his cultivation speed, he had already forked out tens of millions of Spirit Crystal. And there were Sherry and the others, so he was completely broke when he was in Moose World.

In fact, he was pretty poor when coming here. Unless he took the Spirit Crystals inside Encore, he wouldn't have the capital to buy something expensive. That was the reason he used the advantage of a newbie to buy some expensive medicinal herbs.

"Well, there is also a special mission. Peak Masters are the ones released such a mission to a specific person. At that time, they are usually coming to you guys personally to discuss the place. Although most won't reject the mission, there are some who like to kill their own disciples, so there were some who rejected it in the past. We have no one rejected the mission yet just for your information."

Alex and Aria exchanged looks as if thinking the same thing. It was obvious that Melvie was trying to tell that the Sword Blossom Peak wasn't a bad guy. Either way, they would only see whether it was such a thing.

"There is also one more prior warning to you guys," Melvie warned them one last thing that came from her experience. "Since you have suddenly appeared as an Inner Disciple, many will look at you with scorn until they realize your strength. Although Peak Master prohibits you from using your strength continuously, I think it's fine to show yours every now and then. This way, not only can people understand a little bit of your strength and power, but they will also stop bothering you guys."

"But won't there be troublemakers?" Aria asked.

"They can't force you into a challenge in the sect."

"I understand." Aria nodded while Alex kept furrowing his eyebrows as he seemed to have felt something was amiss.

"Anyway, you have everything here, so all you need to do is to show your talent and think it through. You need both talent and brain to reach the top in this sect because the sect won't babysit you."

"There is one thing I would like to know. What if we meet other sects that create trouble for us?" Alex asked.

"Well, this is my personal advice. You know that the Memory Crystal can record anything, right?"

"Ah! I see." Alex nodded. "You want me to record everything… No, I should say that I need to start recording when I meet people. In that case, this recording will be my defense."

"Yes. But unlike us who are utilizing the Favorite Disciple system, they have personal disciples and such, so there must be a few people who are off-limits. I really suggest you guys not to really pick a fight against them, but dead men tell no tales."

Aria furrowed her eyebrows as she understood her meaning. If something happened and the other party wanted to kill them, they just needed to fight back and kill them. If no one knew they killed them, they would be fine. Suppose someone knew. In that case, you can only get a punishment from the sect or flee from here.

"We understand." Aria nodded before glancing at Alex, wondering if he had any other questions. After he saw Alex shaking his head, she continued. "I think that's all. We know where to practice and where to get points."

"In that case, should we go to your house now? Or do you want to visit another place?"

"Actually, I have one person that I want to meet before this… But I don't know if I can."

Alex shrugged as he didn't really care about this and decided to tag along. It wasn't like they were wasting a day or two just for this visit.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to visit my brother."

"Ah! The one that Elder Gian brings in…I guess you can. I will help you with the process." Melvie nodded. "Elder's peak is that way."

They nodded and flew again.

After another thirty minutes, they had arrived at the peak. Alex found something far different than their own peak. It was that there was a giant array enveloping this peak.

When he scanned it, he realized it was an array that had the ability to increase gravity.

"This is Mountain Strength Peak. They are focusing on offensive power, including their own body. In terms of offensive power, they might be the second strongest in the sect, only second to the first peak that has been reigning as a champion this whole time."

A few disciples then rose to the air and greeted Melvie.

"May we know is there a reason for Senior Sister Melvie to visit this peak?" They asked politely.

"Peak Master Gian brought a disciple yesterday, right? His sister wants to meet him, so I brought her here. Can you pass the message to him?"

"They are still having a conversation about his training…So, I guess it's impossible to meet him right now."

"Then can you pass the message to the peak master instead? I believe he will give some time for them to meet." She smiled.

"Uhm… Alright." The disciples agreed to it because of Melvie's reputation. Unlike the others that were cold and aloof, Melvie was one of the few disciples that were easy-going, so people like her more than most of the other Favorite Disciples. When she asked them like this, they had no choice other than to do it.

A few minutes later, Adrian suddenly flew out of the peak and shouted. "Sister!"

"Adrian." She glanced toward Adrian and smiled before opening her hands.

However, Adrian suddenly stopped right in front of her and looked away embarrassedly. "What are you doing, Sister? Are you going to embarrass me? We are grown up, so don't treat me like a kid."

"…" Aria fell silent for a while before awkwardly pulled back her hands.

"I guess it's fine then." Her voice was filled with sadness, but it seemed she indeed needed to stop treating him like this. "Well, I only want to check you, and I am glad that you are doing fine."

"Uhm, yes. Thank you for Sister's assistance in the test. I would have nothing to gain if it's not for Sister."

She then took out a sword and handed it to him. "This is your sword. I might not be able to visit you for the time being, so I want to give you this sword first. At the very least, this will protect you better than me."

"Ugh…" Now he felt bad for not receiving his sister's hug. He thought for a moment and said, "That bastard is in the peak next to me. Since Sister is a bit far away, you don't need to care about him because I will be his opponent."

"Is that so? You have become so dependable."

"Your dream is to become an expert, right? So, you should just aim at your goal and don't think about anything else. I will take care of everything for you… This is my duty as your brother and the next patriarch of our Cypress Family. It's also my own way to redeem the bad thing I have done to you, sister…" He bowed his head.

"Hehe. I am glad that you have changed. If mother were here, she will surely be proud of you. May fortune bless you with its presence, Adrian."

"Yes, Sister. Thank you very much. I will treasure this sword and use it to cut our enemies."

"In that case, I think it's worth it to come here. Before you do anything, make sure to reach 1-Star Martial Saint first, alright?"

"Yes. Peak Master said the same thing."

"Then, we are leaving now."

"Yes. Take care, sister." He nodded before glancing at Alex and bowing his head again without saying anything.

After that, they flew back to the Sword Blossom Peak. Adrian saw them off until he couldn't see their back and returned straight to the building on top of the peak. He saw an old man waiting for him and waved his hand.

"Have you finished your business?"

"Peak Master… You promised to train me, right?"

"Of course. There are two reasons. First, I can show my superiority to that Illevis if I can train the brother of her favorite disciple and show her that he is stronger than his sister. Second, you also have a lot of talent yourself. The blazing fire in your heart might dim down, but I can feel that it has become even more stable than ever. That's why I am going to train you to be the strongest."

"I understand. I shall do it. No matter how hard it's, I will endure every training you give. If my sister walks ten steps, I will walk one hundred. I will use this sword that she gives to show her that I am the head of my family."

"Not a perfect determination for me, but I guess that's enough. Shall we start?" He smirked evilly.

"Please take care of me, Peak Master." He bowed with a solemn expression.

…

Meanwhile, Alex and Aria had arrived in front of their house after two hours of flying. To their surprise, Melvie only showed them this house and said, "This is your house. Yep, you are staying under one roof. Ahem, you are a man and a woman, so there might be an accident…Ahem, whatever, it's not like there will be someone spying on you or listening to your m.o.a.ns. Anyway, this is the key and goodbye."

"…" Alex and Aria were speechless. This might be the reason why she wanted to show them the other places first. She misunderstood that Alex and Aria were a couple, and they would be having s*x every now and then and chose to retreat as soon as she handed the key.

The house itself was not so big. Definitely not as big as Alex's house in the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, the field behind the house was far bigger than Aria's mansion.

It seemed the disciple could use that big field for all kinds of training. They could create a small pound and pour water or make practice dummies. Or even a fight against someone.

This house would be perfect for people to go training. He looked at this not decorated wooden house and checked it using his Spirit Eyes.

After finding there was nothing suspicious inside, he exchanged looks with Aria.

"You have a problem with this?" Alex asked.

"You are interested in me?"

"Nope."

"Then, is there a need to ask? Not that I don't mind if an accident does happen though. After all, I will be the biggest winner according to the Sword God."

"…" Alex was speechless and immediately walked inside the house, wondering. 'What kind of bullsh*t that guy said to her?'
