Chapter 559: Chapter 264: Mission Rewards, 40,000 Gold Coins

For other Adventurers, this was an amount they might not earn even in a month. It was enough for them to get a new set of equipment, with plenty of money left over to live lavishly for a while.

The two groups chatted for a while longer before it was time to part ways.

Just as Lin Mo had guessed, Deke and his group were going to take a long break.

They had also been invited to enroll at the Kingdom National Academy. However, the Royal Capital and Fajade City were very close, so they would likely travel between the two cities often. Furthermore, the upcoming Hunting Competition would also be held in Fajade City, so they would probably have a chance to meet again.

After they finished the tea they had ordered at the Association, Lin Mo first took Shefilya back to the inn.

There was no rush to head to the Royal Capital. After such a major mission, it was fine to rest for a few days. For one, they needed to mentally reset. For another, it was an opportunity to help Ali and the others grow stronger.

They had also just received a large sum of money, which naturally needed to be converted into Combat Power as much as possible.

When they returned to the inn, Ali was still asleep and drowsy. The moment Lin Mo called her name, she hugged his leg, acting cute.

Her behavior showed that she was well-rested; after all, her Physique Attribute was quite high now.

Lin Mo lifted the pouting, clingy girl from the bed. Meanwhile, Shefilya threw back Feney’s covers and pulled the drowsy girl to her feet.

If they didn’t get up soon, it would be almost noon.

After they all washed up, it was just in time for lunch. Once she had eaten, Ali finally perked up and became her lively self again.

It was a good time to go for a walk and buy a few things.

Of course, Lin Mo also distributed some "spending money" to everyone as they had previously agreed.

He took the leftover 1,645 gold coins and split it among them.

The remaining 40,000 gold coins would serve as the team’s fund for purchasing necessary supplies.

Lin Mo quickly drew up a list.

’First, for myself, I need to buy Skill Scrolls for the Knight Profession. That shouldn’t cost too much. Other than that... I don’t need to replace my equipment for now. I’ve already bought Magic Stones, so buying more would be pointless. I’ll just get some Elemental Reagents.’

’So far, except for the Fire Element, I’ve only consumed the basic versions of all other Elemental Reagents. But going from a Basic Elemental Reagent to an Intermediate Elemental Reagent, even accounting for diminishing returns, should still give me about a 13% boost.’

’That’s a pretty significant improvement. It’s important to remember that this boosts Elemental Affinity, which isn’t just a simple increase in power. It also affects the efficiency of resonating with an element, the casting speed of Skills, and other aspects.’

’For a single Element, the impact is even greater than a 13% increase to my Magic Attribute.’

’However, Elemental Reagents are extremely expensive. An Intermediate Elemental Reagent starts at over 5,000 gold coins, and that’s the price in small or medium-sized regions. In major cities like the Royal Capital and Fajade City, the price is often upwards of 6,000 gold coins.’

’If I want one of slightly better quality, the price can climb to 7,000 to 8,000 gold coins.’

’So even though I just got 40,000 gold coins, I can’t buy too many.’

He considered his options carefully and ultimately decided to focus on two Elements: Ice and Thunder.

The choice of the Ice Element was obvious, as it was already one of the Elements Lin Mo used most frequently. As for the Thunder Element, it was one he planned to focus on developing next. Compared to the more utility-focused Water, Wind, and Earth Elements, the Thunder Element was undoubtedly superior in terms of offensive capability—even stronger than the Fire Element.

Besides, Lin Mo happened to have two Thunder Element Skills that were in dire need of improvement, so investing in the Thunder Element was definitely a worthwhile decision.

’Next, for the other members of the team. I can buy an Intermediate Light Element Reagent for Feney in advance. She’s already reached Level 4, and with her talent, plus my help down the line, it shouldn’t take her long to reach Level 5.’

’As for Shefilya, I’m planning to get her a better piece of Armor.’

’Many people think that for an Assassin Professional, the most important thing is speed... and that’s true, for the most part. But with my help, Shefilya isn’t exactly a conventional Assassin anymore. A typical Assassin Professional doesn’t have her immense Strength and Physique Attribute.’

’Given that, if I get her a good piece of armor-type equipment, her defensive capabilities could surpass a Warrior’s, maybe even approach the level of a Knight Professional.’

’To put it simply: she’d be a tanky damage dealer.’

’Finally, there’s Ali. Before we left Fajade City, Lady Beixila gave her an Epic piece of equipment—the "Blood Tiger Hide Boots." The weapon she’s using is the "Steel Splitting Sword," which I gave her after I replaced it. Her equipment is already pretty good.’

’What she needs—or rather, what I can afford that will immediately boost her power—is also an Elemental Reagent.’

’I already bought her a Basic Elemental Reagent before, and based on its effects in actual combat, the improvement for Ali was significant. After consuming the Elemental Reagent, the Skill Power of her "Frost Slash" increased considerably, and she could execute it faster and more smoothly.’
