When he casually picked up a beast core, the system inexplicably gave off a notification tone.

What's going on?

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining a gold-attribute beast core. Do you wish to consume it?"

"Huh? A gold-attribute beast core?"

Maxwell was a bit startled, and his mind was slow to react to this situation. He then mumbled: "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth... A gold-attribute beast core? Holy crap, it's really a beast core of the five elements! And I received it in such a simple fashion?"

This gave him quite a fright!

He almost peed his pants from it! This was simply too inconceivable.

Maxwell never imagined that an extremely hard-to-get beast core of the five elements would so easily drop out of the little squirt's body. This was way too out of the blue, right?

Beast cores that contain those five attributes were the rarest amongst all cores.

It was extremely hard to obtain them.

Maxwell had killed hundreds to thousands of Silver and Gold-ranked spawned beasts. Not to mention the beast cores of the five elements, there weren't any cores with special properties at all. They were all just ordinary ones. After spending such a long time in Eden, Maxwell had become thoroughly disappointed in it. Apart from the Raging Fire Bull and the Walking Dead Lord, he had lost hope with the rest. Even the above gold rank Lava Beast was the same disappointment.

Having an ancient scroll in his possession and being unable to unseal it was extremely painful to him.

In order to unseal the ancient scroll and find out the treasure behind it, he had to crack the array inscribed on it first. The beast cores of the five elements were a necessary component to destroying that array.

Killing Godfrey resulted in a fire attributed to the beast core.

Killing Ferris resulted in an earth-attribute beast core.

Those two beast cores were gained through a difficult process. One could even say that Maxwell had to put his life on the line before he was able to gain those items. But now that the gold-attribute beast core came into his possession in such an easy manner, this happiness had arrived too suddenly for him, and Maxwell almost couldn't grasp the situation properly.

Suddenly, Maxwell quickly swept up the remaining beast cores on the ground to examine them. His brows scrunched up as an incomparable shocked expression appeared on his face.

The rest of the beast cores all had special properties.

Wind attribute, electric, thunder...

The only regret was that there wasn't another beast core of the five elements.

A little Gnome actually possessed so many beast cores with special properties? One needs to know that any one of these beast cores would cost a million gold currency or more. This Gnome was practically a walking treasure trove!

Maxwell stopped smacking the Gnome's butt and started smiling. He gently placed him down and started smoothing out the Gnome's wrinkled clothes. Maxwell revealed an amiable and kind smile before asking: "Hey! Do you have any more beast cores?"

Maxwell's expression was quite disgusting and despicable right now.

It almost looked like the character from a movie in his past life.

The Gnome's sphincter tightened. He looked at Maxwell and asked in a scared tone: "What are you planning on doing?"

Maxwell once again smoothed out the shirt on the Gnome and smiled charmingly: "I'm not doing anything. I just want to ask if you have any more beast cores. A kind and gentle person like me is not going to do anything bad to you."

Maxwell was trying to look like a little obedient grandson.

This was the first time in his two lives.

Even Adam and Lilith, off to the side, were staring in a dumbfounded manner.

Maxwell was wildly arrogant in front of Ferris, yet acted humbly and subservient to a Gnome like he was dealing with his grandparents. What on earth was going on?

The Gnome's eyes shifted slightly around.

When he determined Maxwell seemed to be begging him for an answer, his disdainful looks were restored while he haughtily shouted: "An ugly ass human like you dares to beat me? Do you know who I am? I'm afraid you'd die of fright if I told you!"

Maxwell maintained his subservient look.

Beast cores of the five elements were too important.

The main thing he had to do now was to get the earth and water beast cores, and then unseal the ancient scroll's array. Then he can find the treasure trove and gain the ancient magic. He'd then sweep through the world, step on the Capital City, and beat Peter Wesley until he crawls like a dog.

"Humph! I would never have an ugly ass looking little brother like you."

The Gnome then announced with disdain, "I am the Prince of the Real Gnome race, and others have given me the nickname of Mr Pimp. I am the cool but reserved, one in a million, the earth-shattering handsome, Fernando Muiz!"

"Huh?"

"Fernando Muiz!"

Maxwell didn't hold back and directly gave a thumbs-up. He then praised: "Fernando Muiz! What an awesome and stunning name. Your parents are simply too talented to come up with that. I really can't help but admire their handiwork. Don't offend them for a short time; you might as well offend them long and as despicably as possible. It's definitely not your ordinary despicableness."

A few seconds later, Lilith and Adam realised the wordplay and started grunting while trying to hold back their laughter.

"Humph!"

"You finally realise how powerful I am now, huh?"

The Gnome couldn't tell that Maxwell had changed the word into despicable, and thought they all feared him. He then revealed an arrogant look and said, "Now you're afraid, huh? Humph! You guys better leave now, or else I won't be polite to you all."

Speaking up to this point, the Gnome's voice changed as he pointed at Maxwell's forehead and said: "Especially you. You are so ugly that I feel like throwing up at the sight of you. It's best to leave now. As for you..."

The Gnome then looked at Lilith while his saliva almost dripped out. He was especially focused on Lilith's large chest as he revealed a perverted expression. He then chuckled: "This girl isn't too bad; she would be useful in warming my bed."

Lilith's eyes widened as she fiercely glared at the Gnome.

Maxwell maintained his subservient look. Since this Gnome's status wasn't ordinary, he must have more beast cores of the five elements. Maxwell's expression became even more disgusting-looking as he said, "Prince Fernando, do you have any more beast cores of the five elements?"

The Gnome glared at Maxwell and shouted, "Didn't you hear me tell you to leave now? You damn ugly ass..."

"Hey..."

"Hey... What are you trying to do? I am the Gnome race's prince, I am..."

Maxwell had become angry.

He lifted the Gnome up and unceremoniously started spanking his butt while cursing: "You damn despicable bastard!"

He continued spanking him in the air.

After several slaps, the Gnome turned into a child again and started crying.

His expression no longer had the previous arrogant look.

"Speak!"

"Do you have any more beast cores of the five elements?" Maxwell then angrily lectured: "If I don't show you some power, you really think I'm a vegetarian, huh? I gave you face, and you didn't appreciate it. No wonder your father gave you the name Fernando Muiz; you really are a despicable thing!"

It was only now that the Gnome heard the difference between the despicable in his name.

But he was no longer acting temperamental because his butt was hurting like he was about to die. The Gnome then begged for mercy: "Stop hitting, stop it! I have it, I have it, I have as many beast cores as you want. There's a mountain of beast cores in my home, so you can take as many as you want."

A mountain of beast cores!

How many beast cores are required to be called a mountain of them?

This means I've discovered a fortune!
