Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 72 --The Umbra Club Invitation

"So in the end... you’re still not giving me a single coin, huh?"

A trace of gloom flickered across Caelan’s face.

Across from him, Talia covered her mouth and giggled. Her pale little feet swung back and forth—she looked to be in an excellent mood.

"Well, it’s not completely ’not a single coin.’ At the very least, your dear daddy and mommy did leave you a few things."

"And I think it’s about time I handed them all over to you."

After saying that, Talia reached into her storage space, took out a cube-shaped crystal, and held it out to Caelan.

"Put it away. With a spatial crystal, your storage space can expand its capacity by a hundred times!"

Caelan froze for a second.

So this [spatial crystal]... was the inheritance his parents left behind?

He took the [spatial crystal], but hesitated.

The value of a spatial crystal went without saying—anything involving space was never cheap. Every single one of them was priceless and impossible to find on the open market.

To put it simply: the spatial crystal in Caelan’s hand couldn’t be bought without at least ten or twenty billion.

So...

Should he sell it?

If he sold it, Caelan could practically max out every skill he had.

The temptation of learning all skills had a lethal pull on him.

But gradually, Caelan calmed down.

Putting other things aside—just looking at the skills he currently had—

Whether it was magical damage, physical damage, or various buff-type enhancements, he wasn’t exactly lacking.

And his summoning line had even gained an Awakening Skill. When [Divine Dragon] showed up, even an eight-star awakener had to step aside.

So did Caelan lack skills?

Yes... and also no.

Even if he learned everything currently unlocked, it wouldn’t matter much. Most of them were redundant, without any truly special effects.

Compared to that, expanding his storage space was genuinely important.

After all, the more Instances he cleared in the future, the more annoying it would be to keep running back to the Instance Control Center just to sell loot. That wasted time.

With that in mind, Caelan decisively stored the [spatial crystal].

But on the surface, he put on a helpless expression and complained,

"Seriously... why didn’t they leave me some gold coins? I’m so poor right now..."

Hearing that, Talia couldn’t help glaring at him.

"Brat, have a conscience when you speak. Look at the giant villa in the Upper District—are you still not satisfied?!"

"And all that money you wasted on sword blanks—why don’t you mention that?!"

Caelan gave an awkward grin and nodded.

Talia continued, "Oh, right. I still have some things to deal with on the Ironclad Legion side."

"After I’m done, you need to come back to the family with me."

"Now that you’ve awakened a class and become an awakener, it’s necessary for you to go back once."

After she finished speaking, Talia yawned weakly.

Looks like those comfortable, lazy days were going to get fewer and fewer.

Her bratty cousin had grown up. He was stronger now.

But the troubles waiting ahead would only multiply.

Thinking of that, Talia sighed softly.

"Brat... you have to be well, okay? Understand?"

...

Caelan returned to his room and flopped onto his big bed, absentmindedly staring at his storage space.

There was nothing else to do anyway. Might as well use the [spatial crystal] right now.

Otherwise, leaving it there would just make him itch with greed—and get annoyed.

So he immediately used the [spatial crystal].

In the next instant, his storage space expanded by more than a hundredfold, reaching a colossal 100,000 cubic meters!

What the—?!

Caelan went completely blank. He hadn’t expected the storage space to expand by that much!

This had to be way more than "a hundred times," right?!

Just then, he noticed something—

Far off in the expanded space, there was a strange "layer," a special spatial compartment.

Its appearance was bizarre, almost like it was deliberately designed to catch someone’s attention.

Could there be some secret hidden inside?

With that thought, Caelan used his mind power to pry the compartment open.

What he saw made him inhale sharply—

A huge stash of precious potions, and two sealed items.

Caelan blinked. [Eye of Insight] activated:

[Dwarven Blacksmith’s Token (legendary-grade)]

[Restriction: Only awakeners of 4-star or above may use]

[Description: With this token, you may invite any dwarven blacksmith who has reached legendary-grade to forge one piece of equipment for you. Materials must be provided by yourself.]

Holy—?!

Caelan was stunned speechless, his eyes filled with shock.

In this world, there were more than a million races.

But one thing every race agreed on was this: the dwarves possessed the finest blacksmiths in existence.

Because of that, no matter how powerful a race was, they treated the dwarves with exceptional friendliness.

It was exactly this that led to the dwarves’ transcendent status.

Only in the last few thousand years did the human race develop assembly-line techniques that could rapidly synthesize ordinary equipment.

After that, the dwarves remained important... but their income took a brutal hit.

Cutting off someone’s livelihood was like killing their parents.

Humans and dwarves hadn’t reached the point of never speaking again—

But whenever there was action targeting humans, the dwarves would often be the first to charge in!

Caelan shook his head and stored the [Dwarven Blacksmith’s Token (legendary-grade)] away.

One step at a time. It might come in handy later.

Thinking that, Caelan shifted his attention to the second item.

[Umbra Club Invitation]

[Restriction: Only awakeners of 5-star or above may use]

[Description: An invitation to a highly secretive club that exists only within Umbra. It is said to be extremely mysterious, and that within it, you can enjoy things that are difficult to describe with words.]

No way... even this exists?!

A look of disbelief flashed through Caelan’s eyes.

Because he never expected the Umbra Club to be real.

For as long as anyone could remember, there had been countless legends about subspaces—and among them were the stories of the [Umbra] realm!

As one of the legendary spaces, [Umbra] was spoken of in the same breath as [Purgatory], both belonging to a higher tier of subspace.

As a result, [Umbra] had always existed only in ancient myths.

And yet the Umbra Club not only existed... he had actually obtained an invitation!

Caelan’s eyes gleamed with wonder.

If he could enter [Umbra], that would be a huge opportunity for him!

According to legend, subspaces contained countless powerful monsters, as well as precious materials, equipment of all types...

"Damn... I’ve really struck it rich this time!"
