Yellow-tier Monster Cores!

After making this final decision, Jake relaxed a little.

Either way, the task at hand was to save Badger.

For Nathaniel and his fellas... Sure. They could jump around for now. They didn't have much happy time left anyways.

Regarding the deal...

Take 50 materials for now. As mental health compensation.

After this operation, whether Badger was saved or not, demand 50 yellow-tier items as real compensation for his time.

If they refuse... Jake squinted his eyes. Maybe he'd need to file a complaint to the Artisan Guild. And maybe request a bronze-tier as back up or something.

Since when could artisans be pushed around? Especially by mere iron-tier guilds?

A moment later...

*Knock Knock*

"Come in."

The door was quietly pushed open. It's the mid-aged housekeeper.

"Master Collins, is everything going well for you?" Wearing a polite smile, the housekeeper walked in with a suitcase.

Wearing his blank expression, Jake handed over the tablet.

The housekeeper looked confused. However, he still scanned through the materials list.

As this mid-aged dude quickly flipped through the glossary, his expression quickly became stern and serious. "I will report this to the guildmaster."

Hearing this reply, Jake raised his brows.

'Did Nick Rogers guess this result from the beginning?'

'Nick Rogers predicted his older brother's move? Nick knew that I would be pushed to his side?' Jake couldn't be certain.

Either way, Jake doubted that informing Nick would change anything. After all, Nathaniel was the one in charge of this deal now.

"I'd appreciate it."

"If the glossary is like this, I'd like these materials."

Yep. During this time, Jake had already finished choosing. Some appetizer would be nice.

"We... Thank you for understanding master Collins." The housekeeper sincerely bowed. The mid-aged dude looked like he was touched by Jake's generosity again.

"Would you like a delivery for these materials? We can deliver these materials to your penthouse suite right now."

"No. It's fine. Bring it to the crafting room here." Jake's gaze became a little cold. It's time to absorb materials and level up his skills.

Nathaniel didn't want Badger to be saved? Jake would like to seriously contest this result now. Nick Rogers seemed like a more reliable business partner.

Other artisans can't help? It's a dead-end? It's hopeless?

Jake would question that.

The housekeeper clenched his fists. This mid-aged dude seemed really energetic and enthusiastic for some reason.

"Thank you master Collins!" The housekeeper's voice got a little louder in appreciation.

Bring the materials here. Jake had to be using those materials right? Even in his exhausted conditions, Jake was still trying his best!

By the looks of it, kindness... yep. Does pay back.

"As promised, I've brought three yellow-tier cores." The mid-aged housekeeper put the suitcase onto the coffee table.

"Please get some rest master Collins."

"We are counting on you."

The housekeeper seemed to have realized something. "Please excuse my loss of composure."

"The Iron Sparrow Guild and the Rogers family will never forget your helping hand."

"The materials will arrive in a moment." The housekeeper sincerely bowed and left.

Lightly shaking his head, Jake chuckled in his mind. By the looks of it, this housekeeper clearly misunderstood something.

Opening the suitcase, three jagged corn-yellow crystals came into view. About the size of a fist. Emitting a metallic luster. These were unrefined yellow-tier monster cores.

As expected, three collection quests popped up.

Apparently, these cores could be absorbed for 80, 85, and 81 Click Points respectively!

Jake's eyes brightened up.

This result was much higher than the 20 Click Points Jake had expected.

By the looks of it, yellow-tier items were worth much more than green-tier items.

'With yellow-tier cores, I can easily level thing up!'

'These cannot be found on the market though... So I can't buy these with money.'

'The drop rate of monster cores is not that high. It would take forever for me to collect these myself.'

'And I'm not interested in starting a guild either. Too much work. How troublesome...'

Most yellow-tier items were seen as tactical resources by big guilds. If a yellow-tier material was not that critical, Jake wouldn't need it either.

'If I could access Iron Sparrow's yellow-tier storage... I might be able to level up to max system capacity!'

Looking back at the suitcase, Jake took a deep breath. 'Well Nick, since I took your items, I'll try my best to solve your problem.'

*Knock Knock*

Jake closed the suitcase. "Come in."

A butler opened the door. "Master Collins, we have brought over your materials."

"Put them in the crafting room please. Thank you."

"Our pleasure." A stream of butlers quickly dropped off large plastic containers.

In a moment, these guys quickly left.

Jake lightly knitted his brows. 'Looks like Nick Rogers can't change anything.'

Nevertheless, even choosing from green-tier items, this appetizer was still not bad.

Jake selected all the mana gem fragments available (5 available). These were common drops from yellow-tier realms. All low-quality. Could be sold for 8 - 12 Click Points.

Then Jake filled his order with green-tier monster cores.

Very rare high-quality monster cores * 3 ( 3 click points each )

Still rare moderate-quality cores * 11 ( 2 click points each )

The rest were low-quality cores.

All in all, Jake gained 123 Click Points. Enough to level up a skill.

To earn these click points, all Jake did was staring at a mid-aged dude for a moment, then make 3 basic talismans.

High reward. Not that much effort. Terrible trade experience.

Putting the suitcase onto the crafting station, Jake thought through his plan one last time.

Jake quickly looked around in this crafting room. No surveillance camera found.

Though, even if people saw Jake's absorbing process, it's actually fine. In this magical world, nothing was unbelievable anymore.

There were plenty of people with secret meditation techniques.

Grabbing onto a yellow-tier core, Jake began his absorbing process.

A moment later...
