Once Maxmillan thought that, he opened the System Menu and neurally clicked on the [Item Market/Purchase Store] Directory.

——————————————————————
Once [Purchase Store] displayed on the screen in his vision, Maxmillan saw that the sub-directory, [Mechanically-Enhanced Sentient Magical Pet] had been made available, essentially because of the awakened Magiwolf magical beast that he obtained at that mountainous valley that he destroyed.
'I will check how my pet is doing later.' He said within himself with a bright smile appearing in his face.
But, there was also something else that he noticed, which was the sub-directory; [Arcane Item-Fused/Artifact-Socketed Robotic Warrior Combat-Deployment]. Its name had changed and its status showed 'Currently being researched. Will be made available soon'.
There was also the [Magical Artifact-Embedded Weapon], a new sub-directory that had the same status as the [Arcane Item-Fused/Artifact-Socketed Robotic Warrior Combat-Deployment] and caused Maxmillan to be intensely amazed, since he didn't know when that appeared there.
'Hmm. I guess it's because of those crystallized magical cores that the Transmigrator Survival System obtained from those heaps of treasures that I found at that vault, including the glowing magical blades and magical artifacts that lacked owners and only slumbered in their dormant states. Well, I will keep checking to see if they are items that I can use, which I hope I truly can when they are ready.'
'As for those three powerful items that I took from the Sky Bridges Lord's room and dimensionally stored away, I hope the Transmigrator Survival System will have a need for them. And if it wouldn't, I will give them to my sisters once they become Astra Spellcraft Commanders. Only then, can they be really qualified to use such powerful items.'
After pondering about these things a few more times, he neurally clicked on [Weaponry].

As soon as Maxmillan saw the first item on the list, he produced a smile in his face and clicked on it.
Immediately he did that and was presented with full details about the weapon, he scrolled to the bottom of the page where he saw a command and 'Yes/No' options on which the command will act on.
"Yes." Maxmillan immediately said with a radiant smile emerging from his lips.

Immediately Maxmillan read through the whole thing, his eyes couldn't help but glitter in serious awe and unceasing astonishment.
'I am already touching upon things that should frighten gods. Haha.' Maxmillan said within himself and cackled delightedly.
'But wow. A really large amount of achievement score will be needed to unlock the remaining Power Modes. Ugh.' Maxmillan said further with deeply ponderous eyes and shook his head unhappily.
'Anyway, with the twenty tons that will be provided to the user, my overall strength will increase from twenty-one tons to forty-one tons. That should be high enough to face low-tier to average-tier Astra Spellcraft commanders. I think.'
Returning his attention back to the screen in his vision, Maxmillan said determinedly,' Yes!

'No.' Maxmillan said and immediately minimized the screen when Lylla suddenly regained awareness of her surrounding.
"You are done?" Maxmillan and Nailah both asked with surprise in their faces.
"Yesss!" Lylla cried out excitedly.
She then said further with great excitement in her face, "I am done. I have absorbed the whole thing. But wow, those skills, they are dark, evil and amazing. Can't wait to master everything and become an Astra Spellcraft Lord in no time!"
"Alright. But just be careful. Don't learn too many things at once. Or it will stagnate your progress." Maxmillan said worriedly.
"I understand. Don't be too worried about me. I actually know what to do." Lylla said when she saw the heavily concerned expression in Maxmillan's face.
"Alright." Maxmillan said with the nod of his head.
He then proceeded to collect the orb from Lylla which he wanted to return to Inventory, even if the Transmigrator Survival System hadn't mentioned it to be his item. He liked it and wanted it.
But just before he could do anything, a really weak knock was suddenly heard on their door.
Furrowing his brow, Maxmillan left the room to see who had knocked on their door. But he expected it to be his dad who had gone to his massive, faraway farmland days before he returned home with his mom.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure seated on the ground with great worry in his face.
"Dad? What happened? Why are you seated like this? Come in." Maxmillan said and bent to help his excessively fatigued dad stand to his feet.
When the others heard Maxmillan's puzzled and worried voice, they immediately came out of their rooms to see who he was talking to, including Lenna. Then they saw their dad seated on the couch with exceeding worry in his face.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Lylla asked with both concern and worry in her tone.
"It's my land. It has been snatched from me and sold to another person. I have been asked to evacuate the place in a week's time."
"The painful thing is most of the money on me have been spent in purchasing new seeds that I planted all over the farm, which I am beginning to see germinate just fine and may grow into good, high-yielding crops."
"But now that I have been asked to leave, since the land has been sold off to someone else due to the person being far richer than me, we could become destitute. I am really sad. I don't know what to do. Aii!" Taryell said in sadness and heavily sighed in sorrow at the end of his statement.
Maxmillan's eyes and the eyes of the others shone with anger.
Just before he could say anything, Lylla asked, "Dad, do you have an idea of who the land was sold to?"
"I think so." Taryell responded.
He then spoke further, "He is the son of a certain, rich Astra Spellcraft Commander in Shining Lake City. He is into acquisition of lands for purposes no one can tell, yet. Heard he has been buying lands here and there from the large amount of money he got from his highly prosperous parent who are both Astra Spellcraft Commanders and are well-connected within the city."
"There is no fighting such a person. I am sorry, everyone. I am sorry for letting all of you down. Now, we would become many times poorer. I am really sad. Our main source of livelihood has been snatched from us by those with great wealth and connection."
Maxmillan looked at his father and asked with a certain smile in his face, "Dad, your land, has it always been on rent? Or you bought it with a tremendous sum of money only for it to be illegally obtained from you and re-sold to someone else that offered them many times the amount of money you bought the farmland for?"
"Son, your dad is too poor to buy such a land. It has always been on rent, which I do fail sometimes in remitting money to them once the rent was due. I am sorry, everyone." Taryell said with a really sad and pained, helpless expression in his face.
"Alright dad. But it's actually nothing. You shouldn't be too worried about it." Maxmillan said with a radiant smile in his face and caused everyone to look at him with both shocked and puzzled expressions in their faces. Since from the way that he said it, he sounded like he already had a solution to the big problem at hand.
He then said further with a serious tone in his voice, "What if you return to those people that snatched your rented land from you and sold it to someone else with an enormous amount of money that they cannot turn their avaricious eyes away from, would you be willing to go? My plan is for you to recollect your land and entirely buy it off this time!"
