[Add talent rank to Additional Talent]

[Yes] [No]

’Clones? Half my power?" Arthur asked.

Arthur’s current total level was 325. If half the power was objectively based, then the clone level of Arthur would be at level 162, which, if a line was drawn according to the mage tier, Arthur’s clone would be in the Great Wizard tier —Level range 151-250.

Usually, mages with the Great Wizard mage tier were on high floors, between the 40-50th floors. Yet, Arthur was already able to reach a higher tier thanks to his mass killing on the 10th floor.

’My clone is stronger than the average mage on the lower floors. This will come in handy,’ Arthur explained.

After thinking for a while, Arthur pressed the confirmation menu, making another panel pop up before his eyes.

The panel explained that Arthur had received the Clone Manipulation, and the talent was fully his.

[DING! Congratulations on getting another talent]

At first glance, Arthur saw the names of the sub-talents displayed clearly on the panel before him. Yet, the five sub-talents were not explained, just like the previous ones.

’Looks like I’ll have to find out what the five sub talents are for now,’ Arthur said.

He deactivated the system panel and stepped out of the equipment store. The beautiful, big-breasted woman in the dress didn’t want to miss the rare moment Arthur became the first customer in her shop to successfully obtain the SS talent rank using the Talent Slip Rank.

"W-Wait, sir. Shall we talk for a moment?" the woman asked.

"I don’t have time."

"It won’t take long. I’m going to hold another auction event. If you’re interested in more money, you can keep the A or S rank talent slip for me," said the woman, trying to hug Arthur’s body intimately and seductively.

Arthur clicked his tongue, clenching his right fist tightly to form a powerful wave of purple magic that pushed the woman far away until she hit the shop wall. Items fell onto her body.

"I don’t like how you approached me!" threatened Arthur.

"F-Forgive me, sir. I promise I won’t do that again."

The big-breasted woman crawled towards Arthur with an injured body. Several female staff tried approaching her, getting her manager to stand up and negotiate with Arthur normally.

Their superior was known as a bitchy, stingy, and greedy woman. Many mages hated her for that, but because of her enchantment talent, capable of captivating many people, she managed to dispel the hatred and turn it into admiration and lust.

Still, she did not use her enchantment talent to impress Arthur. That’s really strange. Could she be avoiding something harmful? Considering Arthur’s ability was very high.

"I promised to give my friend the S rank talent slip, but you can sell all my A rank talent slips," Arthur said.

He swung his hand to the side, bringing up 340 rank A talent slips stacked on each other to a height of 3.5 m/11.4 ft.

The heads of the woman and her three servants looked up, mouths gaping wide with eyes bulging. They didn’t expect Arthur to have so many rank-A slip talents.

Although S rank slip talents were numerous, the high price made it difficult for many poor mages to buy them.

Their choice fell to rank A talent slip. Besides being cheap, the chance for Ascension to rank S was open, as if they were purchasing the seeds of rank S talent.

Even though everyone knew that pure S talent from gacha or born was far stronger than rank S talent as a result of ascension from A rank talent.

They didn’t care. As long as they get S-rank talent, they will be satisfied.

"How much are you going to sell this one for?" asked the woman, holding up a slip of rank A talent that was still intact and unused.

"I’m selling it for 25000."

The woman nodded. The price of 25000 was definitely the standard selling price for rank A slip talent items. But, because there were many of them, the woman didn’t know if she could buy them all.

The total RL the big-breasted woman had to pay to buy all the items was 8500000 RL, which is a lot of money for sure.

"I don’t have that much money," explained the woman.

"How about upgrading your rank A talent slip to a rank S talent slip?" the woman asked, making Arthur’s eyes glaze over.

’Wait, they can do that?’ Arthur asked.

Aerith smiled. She said clearly that if one wanted to increase the rank of a slip talent, then high crafting skills were needed. Luckily for Arthur, he had a friend with the maximum craft level.

’You can. You only need 100 rank A slip talents to upgrade to rank S slip talents,’ Aerith explained.

’And you need at least 50 rank S talent slips to upgrade it to one rank SS talent slip,’ Aerith added.

’Finally, you need 25 SS rank talent slips to upgrade to one SSS rank talent slip,’ Aerith said.

’Then, what else do I need besides talent rank slips?" Arthur asked.

’You need three main materials from three different elements; you can choose any of the elements. But I suggest light, water, and earth due to their softness,’ said Aerith.

Arthur understood completely. He said he would look for those primary materials to upgrade the talent rank slip.

Aerith would certainly help Arthur. Still, Arthur needed to convince himself of what talent ranks would be upgraded.

’Even though one’s crafting skill is high, the percentage of failure is still there. So, you must be prepared for the worst, Aaron,’ Aerith said.

’I’m already prepared for that.’

The big-breasted woman said she could only buy 10 of Arthur’s A-rank talent slips. Arthur sighed, took back the talent slips, and handed her ten.

The transaction took place between them. Arthur got 250000 RL while the woman got 10 rank A talent slips. With materials like that, he was pretty excited to do another auction event later.

"Thank you for trading with us, sir."

Arthur cleared his throat indifferently, leaving the place to go to the city center, the meeting point again for him with Sara and the others.

The woman in the red dress began closing the shop, relieved that the mysterious man had left.

"Why didn’t you use your charm, Lady?" asked the servant.

"That man is even more powerful than the supreme leaders of the three major groups in Lilith City. I shouldn’t intimidate him," replied the lady, completely understood by the three servant girls.

She ordered one of the maids to go to the district trade office to register their shop for the auction event next week. The maid understood and left the premises.

Arthur and Karen continued walking towards the city center, near the teleportation light stone. There, Arthur saw a woman in all black sitting near the light stone with a hood over her head, strangely mysterious.

The man spread his arms to the sides, guarding Karen from the threat of the mysterious woman.

"Your powers are interesting, sir. There’s something we need to talk about," the woman explained, surprisingly and without warning, summoning purple magic in her palm, which is similar to Arthur’s dark magic power.

’A mage with the element of darkness? What does she want?’
