Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!-Chapter 639 Scrolls

?[A/N: I'm considering switching between releasing more chapters (short tho) and sometimes fewer chapters (long tho) both to experiment and for my mental health. I've been slogging for 3 years without any proper breaks. I've been writing a lot while I was on vacation as well – meaning I didn't rest properly even then. That should change. Writing is important to me but so is my health. So don't be surprised when I release only 1 chapter a day from time to time, or 3 chapters when I feel like it. #TimeToExperiment #MentalHealthTopPriority]

"Is that intentional?" Kraft Viton asked, raising a small teacup to his lips. He took a sip from the Camille tea and placed the teacup back onto the office table that separated the old man and Michael.

Michael had retrieved roughly 200 Scrolls, placing them on the office table before he resumed smiling innocently.

"I'm not sure if I can follow you." (f)reewe(b)novel

"You throw one surprise after another at me. Are you a gift box, or something like that?" Kraft Viton wasn't angry. If anything, he was amused that Michael managed to continue surprising him at this point.

Michael had surprised him so often that he should have gotten used to it. That was now the case.

"It's only one Sharpshooter Scroll, one Enchanter Scroll, one Great Warrior Scroll, one Warlord Scroll, and 195 Mythic Scrolls. I have 16,363 Agriculture-type blueprints, and 1524 Artifacts to sell as well. Some of them Are 4-Star Artifacts. I even got a 5-Star Tier-1 Artifact, though it's customized by none other than Michael Fang."

He joked a little, but Kraft Viton's smile froze.

"Stop trying to act humble. That doesn't suit you."

Michael merely nodded.

"Why are you not using the Scrolls for your territory?" Kraft Viton changed the topic, his attention lingering on the 3-Star Warlord Scroll.

Kraft Viton had heard about Michael's territory fights from Rebecca Zauber. She had been a little bit worried about the army of the Native Empire. However, Michael seemed to have solved that greatly. The only downside was that too many combatants died on the battlefield.

Michael needed more, stronger, combatants. A Sharpshooter, Great Warrior, and Warlord would be perfect for him.

"You are the one who told me to use Insert on Ordinary Scrolls and the like. Can't you remember?"

Kraft Viton's expression remained unchanged for a few seconds, but his facial features distorted upon realizing the meaning behind Michael's words.

"Those are all made from Ordinary Scrolls?!?"

"The Named Scrolls are made from Ordinary Scrolls, yeah. But I can create Mythic Scrolls with Ordinary Scrolls, Scroll Fragments, to be precise, for quite a while already," Michael pointed out, "You know that I can extract Soultraits and the Fragments to upgrade Soultraits from Awakened, right?"

Kraft Viton nodded, recalling his last chat with his student.

"I've always been able to extract Scroll Fragments in addition to Ordinary Scrolls from my enemies as well. That's also why I requested to exchange Mythic Scrolls with Ordinary Scrolls. I can create an infinite cycle like this."

Kraft Viton's eyes widened in surprise, and he had to pinch the back of his hand to get back to his senses.

He cleared his throat and glanced at the Scrolls spread out across the office table.

"So, you want to exchange the Scrolls with Ordinary Scrolls again to create more Mythic Scrolls to trade with Ordinary Scrolls again while also…creating Named Scrolls with higher star rating. That is pretty smart."

Michael could create an infinite cycle with the creation of Mythic Scrolls. If he used this opportunity properly, he shouldn't have an issue creating countless Named Scrolls in the following months.

"You should have told me earlier about this. I would have pressured the traders to give you even better quotes for the Mythic Scrolls you've given me earlier."

Kraft Viton spread out his energy to stockpile the Named Scrolls and Mythic Scrolls in front of him. A moment later, a mountain of Ordinary Scrolls manifested behind Michael.

"The quote is not bad with an average of 15,550 Ordinary Scrolls for every Mythic Scroll you've requested. The little mountain behind you should contain 730,850 Ordinary Scrolls," The old man pointed at the mountain of Scrolls, "I don't know how expensive the creation of Mythic Scrolls is, or how arduous it is to create 2-Star Named Scrolls. But I'm pretty sure that everyone with more than two brain cells will be willing to toss a fortune at you. Of course, the same applies to the other 2-Star Named Scrolls, especially the Enchanter Scroll."

Michael agreed with Kraft Viton's statement. The only issue was that Michael had to use Extract on the Ordinary Scrolls to procure Scroll Fragments. Since the Scrolls bought from shops weren't procured by Michael or his people and were usually in the shops' warehouses for a while already, Michael would receive an average of 1.5 Scroll Fragments for every extracted Scroll.

That was not a lot.

Fortunately, Michael learned about Insert's ability to combine Ordinary Scrolls and fuse them into Named Scrolls. He could use Named Scrolls to increase their star rating as well. That could save him lots of losses, which he would have sustained with Extraction.

"Do you think rare 2-Star Named Scrolls will be as valuable as Mythic Scrolls, or do you think I should focus on Mythic Scrolls for the anonymous trades?"

"I think Mythic Scrolls will do better. Many might favor purchasing rare 2-Star Named Scrolls, but the funds you can earn from 2-Star Named Scrolls is much lower than a Mythic Scroll. After all, 2-Star Named Scrolls summon 2-Star Summons. Mythic Scrolls have a high probability of summoning 3-Star Summons and even 4-Star Summons if you're lucky. The gacha effect is more addicting," Kraft Viton thought hard about Michael's question.

"But then again, if you're lucky enough to create rare 2-Star Named Scrolls that cannot be summoned through Mythic Scrolls, you can ask for a huge surcharge. It all depends on how likely you are to create rare Named Scrolls and your expenses. If it's cheaper to create 2-Star Named Scrolls en masse you might be able to earn more that way. You should keep in mind that the demand for Mythic Scrolls exists everywhere. I'm pretty sure that I can strike some nice deals with some Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs to exchange the 195 Mythic Scrolls for 20,000 Ordinary Scrolls each."

Michael acknowledged slowly.

"Alright. I think I know what I'm going to do," He said.

Michael stored the 730,850 Ordinary Scrolls in his War Rune. He considered turning the Scrolls into Mythic Scrolls right away but decided against it. Michael had yet to rebuild the Untamed Army. 730,850 Ordinary Scrolls would be enough to accomplish that.

Instead of wasting more time talking about the Scrolls, Michael retrieved the Agriculture-type blueprints and Artifacts. He considered bartering them for Ordinary Scrolls as well, but there were a few things he had to purchase.

He conjured two lists in his palms and handed them over.

"One of the list has some items I'll need to beat the shit out of some Alliance of 106 Lords. There is a Pseudo-Legendary Tier-3 Artifacts mentioned on the list as well. I'm not sure if I have enough funds to acquisition it, but I saw it in the Bartholomew catalog, but I was curious about the Artifact. It should help me bargain more damage to those idiotic Lords in the Savannah," Michael uttered lightly.

His nonchalant attitude was enough reason for Kraft Viton to chuckle lightly.

"You are probably the biggest oddball I know."

He shook his head, not sure how the Bartholomew Corporation ended up with someone like Michael.

"But you shouldn't have to worry about money. You were probably too busy to inspect your finances on the Bartholomew Account."

Hmm?

Michael raised his head. First, he was confused for a second, until he recollected something.

"The Agriculture Project!" 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝓮𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Kraft Viton broke into a smile. Michael checked his finances at once, his jaw dropping to the ground a mere moment later.

"Wait! Am I rich?!?"

[A/N#2: I know that I've been asking this way too often these days, but what do you think is missing about the story? Are there any major mistakes you've noticed, or things that should be mentioned more in the chapters? Your honest critique will help me improve the story going forward.

P.S Keep in mind that honest critique doesn't mean that I'll allow y'all to be rude. Hehe]
