Chapter 377 – Sudden Advancements Pt.2

Suo Jia returned to the auction house, back to his work room. Although he was in desperate need to earn the remaining amount of money to reach one trillion, he also knew that strength was the ultimate priority. In other words, he needed to continue practicing the Exhaustion Training Method.

After a while, Suo Jia recovered his energy. Sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, he carefully evaluated his new magic power and spirit power levels….and immediately grew shocked.

Suo Jia remembered that when he had first used the Exhaustion Training Method, he had managed to boost his maximum energy limit by 20%, and then each time he used the method afterwards, its effect would gradually decrease.

However, nearly ten years later, Suo Jia was now shocked to discover that his energy had been boosted 20% once more. What did this mean?

It meant that Suo Jia’s prediction years ago was right. If one used this method over and over for a long period of time, the body and spirit would develop something like a resistance. But if this training method wasn’t used for a while, the resistance would go down, and pretty much disappear!

Suo Jia wouldn’t have dared to completely believe this kind of conjecture in the past. But now, it seemed that it was correct. He could gain 100% of the benefits, and every decade or so, his resistance would die back down. Although the resistance wouldn’t entirely disappear, the effects would pretty much be restored to the point where a weak resistance would have little impact.

Suo Jia regathered his resolve and spent the next few hours using up all the magic power and spirit power in his body once more. After continuing this kind of training for a while, he finally left his training room to begin work.

Obviously, Suo Jia was suffering a lot; under such exhaustion, he was still trying his hardest to focus his energy and concentration on work. If Suo Jia had been resting instead, the Exhaustion Training Method wouldn’t show results. Instead, his strength would greatly be reduced.

Time crawled by. Finally, when Suo Jia had enhanced all the equipment to rank ten, he had managed to gather a trillion coins. With his filled merchant card in hand, Suo Jia trudged to the president’s office.

He threw the card onto the president’s desk and tiredly declared, “Alright, President, I’ve already gathered a trillion here. Now…I’ll be purchasing that Death God’s Cloak!”

“What?!” The head looked at Suo Jia in complete shock and asked in disbelief, “You actually managed to earn that much in such a short amount of time? Impossible!”

Suo Jia chuckled and shook his head. “It wasn’t in that short of a time, it’s been nearly four months. Moreover, I didn’t earn all of it, a large portion was lent to me by my teammates. After all, the only thing that can be purchased with money within what I can afford is this Death God’s Cloak!”

The president sighed in amazement and shook his head. “I don’t care how you got the money, as long as you’re giving it to me, I’ll definitely sell this equipment to you. There’s no reason for me to refuse this offer. Hehe…with this transaction completed, I’ll definitely get promoted!”

Suo Jia smiled and lazily replied, “Then I must congratulate you. I only hope that after being promoted, you won’t forget the little me. If you end up with any good things to sell, you must come looking for me!”

“Haha…” The president nodded, “Of course! Absolutely…you’re my most valuable customer after all. Ever since I met you, my assets have gone up several fold, and are still continuing to rise. There’s no way I could possibly forget a friend like you!”

With this, he swiftly inserted Suo Jia’s merchant card into the appropriate slot in his desk to withdraw a trillion. As he passed the card back to its owner, the president said, “Alright, from today onwards, the Death God’s Cloak is yours. Hehe, it seems like you’ve become penniless once again though!”

“That’s…” Suo Jia glanced at the president in disbelief, and then down at his merchant card. He still had four hundred million remaining on it, how could that count as penniless? But thinking about it now, compared to the president that now possessed many times more wealth and his previous self that had owned a trillion, penniless couldn’t be a better fitting word to describe his current four hundred million in asset.

Suo Jia shook his head bitterly and after saying goodbye, rushed back to his room with the Death God’s Cloak still in his interspatial ring. He couldn’t wait to give it a try!

Suo Jia reached out to pull off the Legendary-ranked black cloak he’d been wearing this whole time and immediately, the entire room suddenly lit up with a bright light. It looked like Suo Jia had become a god!

It wasn’t that he looked like a god in grandeur or anything, but because of the overall effect of his complete equipment set. At the moment, Suo Jia’s entire body was enveloped with a layer of multicolored light, especially the rainbow halo behind his head, which made him look especially extraordinary!

He had an old-fashioned, Western-style crown on his head, and a shining, deep blue armor that had flowing lines of energy stretching all over his body. With his back tall and straight, his face cool and handsome, it could be said that his manner was as refined as a god’s. No matter what angle one looked at him from, his appearance wasn’t one that a human should possess!

Suo Jia also wasn’t ugly. As a mage that controlled water, he also possessed unrivalled ability in beautification. If he could make so many people good-looking, why would he hold back on himself? At the very least, Suo Jia himself believed his image was perfect. Any imperfect part could just be fixed, something missing could be added and something excessive could be removed. It was that simple.

Right now, as Suo Jia stood in the middle of the room tall and straight, the divine-like, rainbow glow that covered his body seemed like it could purify the entire world. Under the gorgeous light, Suo Jia seemed like a figure from a dream.

However, Suo Jia didn’t really care about these things right now; he’d already seen this sight countless times. At the moment, Suo Jia just wanted to know what exactly the Death God’s Cloak’s ability to make things disappear was!
