BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 Am Finally Not Poor Again
Am finally not poor again.
[Ace POV],
After entering the garage, I looked around and discovered that it was mostly empty except for a few pieces of furniture and some items.
Because there was no power source or anything, I did what Adara and the people in the mansion did to light up the building.
Use a candle.
Taking four candles from my storage ring, I placed them in four directions in the garage and lit them with my mana-created flame.
After doing that, the garage was finally lit without my having to create a source to light it myself.
After that was done, I sat cross-legged on the ground and pulled multiple corpses from my storage ring, placing them in front of me as I called out my status and went to the store section.
Even if I wanted to practice Alchemy, I needed materials.
And the items I currently have on hand are too high-end for me to use due to my level in alchemy and lack of money.
After all, I am still poor.
And, if my assumption is correct, monster corpses will be a source of income for me to gain coins.
I focused on the panel in front of me as I considered these things.
[Store],
[General], [Knowledge], [Item], [Exchange], [Shop], [Auction],
I came to the store section because of the Exchange sub-option.
According to the primordial chronicle, as long as the item is valuable, it can be exchanged for coins, and in this scenario, I will see if I can do so with these corpses.
When I selected the Exchange sub-option in the store, the words on the panel in front of me changed and a new scene appeared.
With my attention still focused on the panel, I noticed a large line shaped like a square like a box appear on it with nothing else.
Apart from the part where the total amount of coins appears in the store section, nothing else appeared except the for a square-like box.
When I saw this, I was perplexed because I didn\'t know which way to go.
I tried focusing my gaze on one of the corpses in front of me at first, but nothing happened.
It wasn\'t until I touched the corpse of a level 1 monster that something happened.
The square line box that was previously present on the panel now contained an image of a monster.
And the image of the monster in the box resembled the monster whose corpse I was still touching, and beneath the image was a line of text.
[Exchange a level 1 Crocotta dog for 5 bronze coins?],
When I saw this, I knew my thoughts were correct this time, and when I looked at the number of corpses in front of me and counted the ones I still had in my storage ring, I knew I was finally getting out of my poor status.
What was still perplexing me was the price for which the monster\'s corpse could be exchanged.
\'Is it because the monster is only level one, or is it because of its race?\' I thought, but I dismissed it and chose yes to exchange.
When I chose to exchange the corpse for 5 bronze coins, a weak white light appeared, just like when I used my free item ticket to exchange for an item in the store.
The difference between that and this is that this dim light took the corpse without dropping anything, whereas the other one did, but I noticed a change on my panel immediately after the corpse vanished.
[Total coins: 5 Bronze coins],
When I saw the total amount of coins I currently have on the bottommost part of the store section, I knew it was time to get out of poverty, so I began exchanging the monster corpse in my hand for coins.
....
After a while, I finished exchanging all of the monster corpses I had on hand for coins and noticed a pattern.
The amount of coins gained from a specific monster is determined by the type of monster exchanged and its level.
According to my recent experience, a level 1 monster exchanged for 5 bronze coins, a level 2 for 10 bronze coins, and a level 3 for 15 bronze coins.
From level 11, the coin pattern increases to ten.
That is, if a level 10 monster is worth 50 bronze coins, a level 11 monster corpse is worth 60 bronze coins, and a level 12 monster corpse is worth 70 bronze coins.
This is why I said the coins obtained depend on the level of the monster.
And the reason I said it depends on the type of monster exchanged is because when I exchanged the eagle corpse that Anna Crows killed, I received 71 bronze coins but only received 60 bronze coins when I exchanged for a mutated cat corpse that was at the same level as the eagle.
There was a time when the bronze coins I received were even lower than the level of the monster.
However, in the end, I was able to receive a reasonable level of wealth.
[Total coins: 5 Silver coins; 27 Bronze coins],
The silver coin appeared when the total amount of bronze coins had reached 100.
Following this logic, a 100 bronze coin equals a silver coin, and a 100 silver coin equals a gold coin.
But, given the number of monsters I exchanged, it will take some time for the total number of silver coins in my hand to even reach 50, let alone the 100 silver coins required for a single gold coin.
When I considered this, I remembered that the Basic Alchemy Knowledge I exchanged for was worth 250 Gold coins.
If I were to compare myself to the monster I sold, I would only be worth about 120 bronze coins.
That is one silver coin and twenty bronze coins.
That means that even if I sell myself, I won\'t even reach 10% of the required coins.
I was about to leave the exchange area as I was considering these things when I suddenly had a thought.
I pulled out the DMX-367 DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN, the Normal Grade Hunter Recurve Bow and Quiver, and the inferior grade steel sword with a thought from my storage ring.
These weapons are useless to me because they cannot keep up and are even lower in level.
The Normal Grade Hunter Recurve Bow and Quiver is the best of them, but even that is useless to me.
While I was thinking about these things, I decided to see if I could exchange items given by the primordial chronicle.
I decided to start with the Inferior grade steel sword, and to my surprise, it worked when I tried to exchange it.
[Exchange Inferior grade steel sword for 2 silver?],
I was taken aback when I saw this.
I never expected the inferior steel sword to be rated higher than the monster corpse I exchanged for.
If I am correct in my previous assumption, the weapon I looked down on will exchange for more coins than me.
This....
As I was thinking about these things, I exchanged the inferior-grade steel sword for silver coins and did the same with the other two.
The DMX-367 DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN was worth 14 silver coins, while the Normal Grade Hunter Recurve Bow and Quiver was worth 34.
It was higher than I expected.
I then looked at the total number of coins I now have.
[Total coins: 55 Silver coins; 27 Bronze coins],
55 silver coins.
It\'s more than half a gold coin, in a manner.
To the current me, the value and wealth are still the same.
The main reason is because of the items I exchanged.
If the monster corpses I exchanged were not ordinary, I might have gotten the same amount of coins.
I\'m not one to talk since I don\'t know if they\'re ordinary, and this is just my viewpoint.
There\'s also the fact that I\'ve never met an unreasonable strong monster beyond its level, and I don\'t want to meet one.
Even if I did meet one, it would have to be a dead one.
A higher-level zombie was enough to clean me up, it\'s no question what an unreasonable strong monster would do.
Or maybe it\'s because we\'re just some unranked creatures to the primordial chronicle.
I left the exchange section since I had nothing else to do there and chose the general sub-option in the store section while I was thinking about these things.
It\'s time to buy some materials now that I have some coins.
