God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-52

Gabriella turned to Jason saying

"You can sleep in the guestroom today because we´ll depart before the sun arises."

Before Jason could say anything, Greg cried out in joy while Malia´s face remained as calm as possible.

Mark gripped Greg to calm him down and turned to Jason with a serious face.

"To prevent any problems, I would like to purchase the lesser elemental beast cubs from you before we set off tomorrow.

I already counted them.

Because you've stated your requirement, we will set up a proper contract, so you won't need to be worried about anything."

In front of Jason appeared a contract and Jason had only to sign it.

The contract itself was pretty simple and the same as every beast contract, only a single requirement was stated from Jason, and the credits he would receive were also written on it.

While Jason looked shocked, Greg whistled in amazement.

Jason knew that he would gain many credits, because the number of these lesser elemental fox cubs was high, they were also relatively rare to find, small in number, and their high natural powerful elemental ability caused the price to increase by a large margin, but this much was astonishing.

Mark counted 164 fox cubs and each of them was roughly worth 100.000 Credits in his opinion…

´16.4 million credits` >O.o<

`I´m rich!!!!` Jason thought

But when Gabriella saw the price she frowned slightly….

"HONEY" an eerie feeling permeated the living room

"I think you forgot that Jason is almost a part of our family?!"

Gabriella was obviously displeased with the price and she continued, while Jason looked at her with shock

`almost part of our family??`

"Concluding the age of the low strength and soul energy with their futuristic growth to a low to mid awakened beast, adding their rarity and outstanding elemental ability, I don't think these lesser elemental foxes are only worth 100.000 credits, RIGHT? Only their outstanding elemental ability is worth that much for above-average families who can afford it and let's not start talking about hunter families, upper-class families, clans, big families, companies who provide their employees with soulbonds after a certain amount of time, and so on…"

Gabriella´s eyes were fiery and she was heated… If her husband rebuked her one time, she would throw a fit and Mark knew that.

Greg looked proud at his mother while Malia felt slightly complicated by her mother's heated reaction and commentary.

Jason understood completely where Malia had her temper from and smiled faintly.

He didn't mind getting paid less than he should from the Fler´s, but he had to note that Mark was more than a little bit greedy.

"OK...honey… please calm down. I´ll change it immediately."

The holographic screen disappeared from Jason´s view and Mark tipped in new number before showing them to his wife who was still displeased but not as much as before"

`164 fox cubs for 130.000 each`

`Over 20 Million!!

Or more accurately 21.320.000 million credits…. WOAH!!!` A radiating smile appeared on Jason´s face as he looked at the Fler´s

Jason signed immediately and even if Mark was a little bit displeased because he would make less income… he was still happy.

With the right customers, many companies, families, hunters, and so on would purchase these beasts for high prices as the first soulbond for their children, even if he had to avoid a few families.

Each fox cub was probably worth more than 200.000 credits in his opinion and if he was honest, he hadn't done anything until now to deserve a single credit profit.

Considering the fact that a soulbond would live with one for a whole lifetime, the price of 200.000+ didn´t seem that high compared to equipment which had to be replaced after a while.

It was all Jason´s luck because most birthing places were somewhere in wild zones, deeply hidden and covered to prevent intruders from finding them.

Even if he himself were to search for these cubs in the one-star wild zone, he would probably not find them as he couldn´t sense so feeble mana fluctuations through the ground.

Who was even able to do something like that?!

Mark would never praise Jason for his luck but he was amazed about it, which he acknowledged.

After business was finished, Mark opened a few shops to make online purchases and Greg showed Jason the room he could stay inside.

Looking at his bank account, it was once again filled with a huge number with many figures and he smiled naively.

Entering the guestroom, Jason was shocked about its size.

It was probably larger than his whole apartment which wasn't that difficult but there wasn't much inside.

It looked kinda lonely and sad seeing such an empty room with almost no furniture.

But Jason didn't bother about that and he tried to remain calm because he was way too thrilled right now.

He felt really good that he could earn credits while doing something good.

Jason was sure that if he hadn't done anything, the fox cubs would already dead by now because of the greater horned wolf and other possible predators.

And with him selling the lesser elemental fox cubs and his requirement to Mark and Gabriella, they had a good chance to live a good life, or at least it would be better than dying.

If Jason had to be honest, he wasn't sure what to do with over 20 million credits and he had to think really hard about it.

But looking at the online shops, he noticed that 20 million were nothing…

Thinking about credits, Jason asked himself how much he would need to compare himself to his future classmates...or was he already close to them?

Looking through the shops he saw many high-graded weapons with amazing names and special effects they provided but the price was ridiculous...some of them were only able to trade against objects or materials he had never heard about.

Purchasing mana weapons or soul weapons? Nice joke….one would at most be able to purchase the lowest, gradeless mana weapons with his money...but thinking about it, this mana weapon would probably still be better than his grade-1 weapons.

But he wouldn't waste his credits for something like that.

Before he would purchase things for himself, Jason would always think about Artemis first.

She was in desperate need of more cores as the ones he provided were too low in grade for her and she nagged him all the time.

She wanted to receive five-star wild beast cores at the worst.

Thinking about that, he decided to use some of his credits to purchase beast cores in bulk.

Jason wasn't sure how much the difference between wild-beast cores and awakened cores were and if he was somehow able to trick out the system.

Searching through the official federation websites, he found a useful thread.

The question which results after seeing this information is: `Why should you buy an awakened core if wild beast cores are much cheaper?` And the answer isn't that difficult to figure out.

To operate some machines, we need mana and the amount needed in most factories is certainly large… Through long-term testing with certain machines, it was found out that mana-operated machines and devices empowered by wild beast cores break faster and errors happen more often.

Why is that so? Because the purity of mana is also an important factor for almost everything.

The fewer impurities a core has, the better is the mana inside it, and once a beast core is used up, the impurities within are comparable to glue, sticking to the mana vessel, destroying them slowly.

This is also the reason why for most expensive mana-operated machines mana stones are used to prevent the stagnation of these machines and to prolong their lifespan.

I hope my thread was helpful for most of you and don´t waste your money by purchasing wild beast cores. They will only accelerate the destruction of your expensive mana-devices.

BYE

Jason was interested in this thread and liked it.

After reading the comments and a few other threads that came out with the same result, he purchased a huge bulk of five-star wild beast cores.

He asked himself if the ratio of 5 to 1 was the same for Artemis or not….

Maybe Artemis would be annoyed by his decision but he didn't care about it.

Jason didn't want to waste much money in the beginning, because he wasn't sure what kinds of expenditures might come to him.

And even if. There were only 5000 five-star wild beast cores for 2 credits per core. There wasn´t much he could do wrong.

Five five star wild beast cores were thus 10 Credits and a single awakened beast wild core was priced from 30 Credits up to a few hundred.

Thinking about the difference Jason was tempted to purchase more wild beast cores but he could do that later on if his stock was coming to its end.

Furthermore, Jason decided to purchase mana stones worth 1 million credits and 300 low-awakened ranked cores for 32 credits per core.

He wanted to make a few tests with Artemis and he himself also wanted to improve his level and mana stones were the easiest way to enhance his mana core level.

There were many other things he purchased for emergencies like a portable tent, long-lasting food, water, many clothes, including boots, kerosene, many potions, ropes, and so on.

It was 10 pm when he finished everything and Jason went into bed after practicing the Heaven's Hell technique.
