Chapter 379: Kevin the gambler ƒreewebɳovel.com

[Item: Qi Powerd handgun

Tier: Mortal

Level: C

Price: 3 Omni tokens]

Kevin checked the system prices for every handgun and found that they were slightly lower than the market price, as he had anticipated. Unlike other cultivation items, these guns were a bit better than normal firearms, so their prices weren't as inflated in the market. All ten guns ranged between two to five omni tokens, depending on their level.

"Now let's gamble a bit..." Kevin said with an excited smile. It wasn't exactly a gamble, given the 99 percent success rate, but the excitement was evident.

He picked up two guns and commanded, "Merge."

The two objects glowed and transformed into two light balls. The process was the same as when he first merged items, but this time the light wasn't as bright, seemingly due to their tier.

As the two lights merged into one, the larger light ball turned into a handgun. This one had more refined edges, a slimmer barrel, and a shinier finish. While the differences weren't dramatic, it was clear that it was no longer a mortal-grade weapon.

[Item: Qi Powerd handgun

Tier: Low-earth

Level: D

Price: 25 Omni tokens]

"Yes..." Kevin muttered with a wide smile, seeing the merged product's price. It was significantly lower than the market price but still higher than he had anticipated. The market price was around 6000 units, so Kevin was making a substantial profit. Now, he just hoped that the remaining four merged guns could be upgraded to mid or high earth grade, as each tier up had at least a 4000-unit difference in value.

But his luck didn't seem to be working in his favor. The next three merges resulted in low- earth grade weapons, each varying slightly in level. The prices ranged between 24 to 27 omni tokens, which was still profitable but not the significant gain Kevin had hoped for.

Frustration began to creep in as he glanced at the last two mortal-grade handguns on his desk. He had been optimistic about these final merges, saving the best for last. Both of these handguns were level A, and he had high hopes that they might produce a higher-tier weapon, possibly even mid-earth grade.

Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Kevin picked up the two handguns and held them firmly. "Please, at least be a mid-grade one..."

He activated the merging process, watching intently as the two handguns began to glow. The familiar light balls formed, but this time the glow seemed slightly more intense. Instead of looking at the product, Kevin checked its item description.

[Item: Qi-Powered Handgun

Tier: High-Earth

Level: -D

Price: 60 Omni tokens]

"Fucking yes..." Kevin exclaimed loudly with a wide smile. He had hit a small jackpot. Although it wouldn't make a huge difference in profit, the thrill of gambling had him overexcited. Realizing he had been selling things much pricier than this, he felt a bit embarrassed.

To his embarrassment, Amy walked in looking worried and asked, "What happened, Kevin?"

With a slight blush, Kevin shook his head and said, "Nothing..." Composing himself, he added, "Take these and put them on the shelves," gesturing at the five newly merged guns on his table.

Amy picked up the guns with curious eyes and went out. As she left, Sia walked in carrying another set of boxes, these much larger, about an arm's length on all sides. "Why is there so much stuff coming in today?" Sia asked, placing the boxes on his table. "There are a few more boxes outside."

"I just bought some new products," Kevin replied, opening the boxes and finding small wooden cases inside. They were long and slim, about an arm's length, so Kevin guessed they contained the long knives. "Bring the others too," he said.

Sia went to fetch the remaining boxes while Kevin excitedly opened each long knife box, checking their prices and levels, and placing them in pairs according to their levels.

Sia returned with the remaining boxes, these long and nearly as tall as she was, struggling slightly under their weight. She placed them on the table beside Kevin, who was already engrossed in examining the long knives. "There are more. Are all of them weapons?" she asked, catching her breath.

Kevin nodded, barely glancing up. "Yeah, those would be spears, and some swords should be coming too." His focus was entirely on the task at hand. He carefully opened each wooden case, revealing sleek, deadly blades that shimmered under the light. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he checked the system prices and levels for each knife.

Sia watched him for a moment, then asked, "Do you need any help other than bringing them in?"

Kevin looked up, momentarily distracted from his work. "Nah, I'm fine. Just checking their prices and stuff. Just bring them here when more come."

Sia nodded and left the room to bring in the remaining boxes. Kevin continued his work, carefully checking the prices and levels of each knife. He knew that only he could use the merging function of the system, a secret he kept from Sia and the others. They wouldn't be of any help with this part of the process, and he didn't want to reveal what he was doing.

Sia returned with more boxes, placing them on the table. She watched Kevin for a moment, her curiosity evident. "You sure you don't need any help? It seems like a lot of work." Kevin glanced up briefly, giving her a reassuring smile. "I'm good, Sia. This part is something only I can do. Just keep bringing the boxes in, and I'll handle the rest."

She nodded, still pondering the offer Kevin had made earlier. Personal training from someone strong was expensive, and even her above-average salary couldn't cover it. She could earn more money by hunting monsters like Kevin, but she was too weak. She didn't know how Kevin had gotten so strong, but two months of cultivating hadn't provided much of a boost to her power. She was stronger than normal humans-much stronger-but as a cultivator; she had only crossed the minimum threshold. And his offer may make her strong.
