This would also increase his strength and foundation tremendously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that came at a price. Once something was extremely clean, it was very easy to dirty it. So there would be a lot of limitations on what he could put into his body after that treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, he decided to put it off for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached Level 50, it would be an entirely different ball game with several things in the mix. For instance, players would be able to form mana core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like recipes and skill scrolls, the methods of forming mana cores would also drop from elites and dungeon bosses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at that time, it would be best to take care of this foundation cleansing and start fresh so that he could form the best mana core possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam roughly thought about these numerous objectives in his mind as he mechanically concocted the potion that he was familiar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mana control had also increased tremendously since last time so doing this was a breeze for him and might as well be a form of relaxation after hours and hours of continuous combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he whistled contently and poured the sparkly orange liquid in one glass bottle after another, he couldn't help but look at the other person present in the room along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam smiled helplessly and comforted the poor thing who had been sulking for quite a while now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you want to start immediately, but you need to wait and be more patient. We should find out more details about that gemstone first, Luna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyuuuu. The fox whined in place, without looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's yours. I promise. Just wait a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyuuuu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam smiled with a soft sigh and continued doing his work. Unlike her, he had many responsibilities so he had to think through each and every small detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first needed to get that gemstone inspected. It seemed to be part of a unique quest, at least from the little information that he had managed to gather from Gu Zui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there could be many things associated with it. He might even find a clue to another special quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had a lot of knowledge about the nice things in the game, his knowledge was far from being exhaustive. It was always best to approach new things with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the fact that the ape managed to form a partial mana core with this gemstone was also a huge hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after this, if he ignored the gemstone, he could only be called an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, items such as that were also typically gold sinks, so grinding for more money came first. How could he possibly explain these things to the little fox?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he gave up and decided to coax her later with some good food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam spent a few more hours in the high-end alchemy room before finally finishing everything that he had on his to-do list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inventory space was already filled to the brim so he had to take the last few items in an actual bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lugging everything along with him and also taking the sulking fox under his arms, he then made his way to the auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with his clothes and the way he was hauling a huge ass bag around, he stood out like a sore thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the players who were covered with sparkly equipment and dazzling ornaments, studded with gemstones, he looked like a beggar who couldn't even afford inventory space purchases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people gave him disdainful looks as he neared the posh huge building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the most crowded areas in the city so people did not appreciate players who came that way just to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the way he acted, everyone could tell with one glance that he belonged to that category. Moreover, he had his face covered. Who was he trying to fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sneered at him in contempt and then went back to minding their own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they could only look down upon the poor and the naive, they couldn't really ban these idiots from mingling in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam as well was too busy to notice anyone around him. He leisurely sat down at an empty spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine to even sit right next to someone else. They won't be able to see another player's interface and the transactions would remain a secret, only visible to self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ok. Let's start then.\" Liam first took out 5 Fire-Resistance potions from his inventory space and put them up for auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one single act instantly created a stir amidst the gathered crowd as if suddenly someone had dropped a few hundred dollar notes on a crowded dance floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone started contacting their guild and messaging the higher-ups, trying to gather as much funds as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is such a villain! He has once again put the fucking potions on a 2 hours bid without a buyout option! Just how greedy can he be!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking bitch. He can only enjoy this spotlight as long as this stupid dungeon is relevant. Let's see what he is doing after that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ya. you are right. What an idiot! He has a golden goose but he doesn't know how to use it properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it was me, I would have used this chance to make friendly relations with a lot of top guilds, instead of antagonizing everyone like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area fell into an uproar and several people started complaining and cursing loudly at the mysterious anonymous person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the player sitting next to Liam let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be grateful that you don't have any money and suck at this game. Top players like us are suffering right now.\" He lamented out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the corner of his eyes, he could see that the noob dressed in scraps was not paying attention to his words at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know… I am in a good mood today. What item do you want? I can help you buy it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled while sneering inwardly, anticipating how the noob's attitude was going to take a 180 now. Not paying attention to me, now we will see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a couple of seconds passed and his neighbor was still unresponsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck. Even this little bitch is ignoring me. Just what I needed today. Why am I even talking to idiots.\" The player angrily grumbled and he also went back to his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Liam's hands were very busy. They were moving non-stop plotting his next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting up the potions for sale in the auction house, he sent a message to Abraki. \"Is any of you guild members near Yleka city auction house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, he received a reply. \"I will be right there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Open a trade window when you are here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Abraki curtly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For two players to trade their goods, they only needed to be in the vicinity. It was not required for them to be face to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This added a level of protection against any sneak attacks, especially in a crowded place like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever he does, he does it perfectly without any loopholes.\" Abraki sighed. Dealing with Liam was a pain in his ass. In this aspect, the informant hadn't been wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single interaction he had with him made him feel like he was being played around by a cunning mastermind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unfortunately, he still had to continue dealing with him. In the case of people like this, it was better to be friends than enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he expected any help from. He would probably never get something like that out of him. But it was still good to be not on the bad side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abraki soon arrived and opened his trade window, simultaneously contacting Liam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promptly, a stack of 20 Fire-Resistance potions appeared in his window without any other reply from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"20 potions?\" Abraki's eyes went wide. \"Damn it. This confirms it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy can concoct the Fire-Resistance potion. He would not have been able to obtain these many potions otherwise.\" He lamented to his guild member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is he charging you?\" His friend asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly Abraki realized something…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did not mention a price.\" He smiled bitterly. This meant that he had to suggest a price and the other party will either accept it or reject it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he suggested something too high, then he will lose out. If he suggested something too low, then this bridge he was trying to create was as good as burnt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was another set of potions being auctioned right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he sell these to him, instead of auctioning everything for the same high price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abraki's head hurt. He had a feeling that he was once again being played with.. This person was very troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>",1715,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.730Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a1752d94ded353f5ef1544d230a3cc1d6876b679e2270f2b595aabfaf8d5dd5","re-evolution-online-chapter-195","re-evolution-online-chapter-246",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
