Chapter 21: Missing Out on a Treasure

“Ah!’

Eve’s scream behind Li Tianxiang pulled him away from this inexplicable violence.

Li Tianxiang realized that his breathing had become heavier, and his face felt abnormally hot.

Even the beating of his heart made him slightly frightened.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just angry that I was cheated.”

He saw that May and Lan had already arrived in front of him. They even looked a little worried.

Li Tianxiang forced out a smile and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he was just throwing a tantrum.

However, he knew that this was not as simple as losing his temper.

Otherwise, on the planet he was originally from, there would probably be countless evil incidents happening every morning in the market involving aunties who were bargaining, including his mother.

Fortunately, he was able to find the answers to all the questions in the system. Li Tianxiang soon saw a special status in his status bar.

[Heart of the Beast: The debuff after using the Power of 100 Beasts. Emotions will fluctuate greatly. Patience and willpower will decrease.]

Damn, it was because of this skill.

The corner of Li Tianxiang’s mouth twitched. When he saw the long cooldown for this skill, he thought that it was just a trick.

However, he did not think that there would be such a side effect. It changed his personality and made him as irritable as the orcs.

Moreover, the duration of this debuff lasted until the next time he could use the Power of 100 Beasts.

In other words, every time he used the Power of 100 Beasts, he would enter the state of the Heart of the Beast.

If he was farming on a farm, it wouldn’t matter. At most, he would just sleep for a day and rest. However, he was now in the alternate world of the Heavenly Market System.

Although the danger index of the Western Fantasy World wasn’t high, if he had to go to a place with a higher danger index, this state of mind reduction would be too terrible. It seemed like he had to use it less often.

As he silently placed the bald man on the ground, Li Tianxiang had another discovery. When did he become so strong?

When he was in university, he was a homebody who loved playing games. There were no problems with his body management as he did not like to eat meat.

However, it wasn’t wrong to say that he was weak. Now, he could actually lift someone up with one hand.

Could it be that the physiques of different individuals could not be treated equally? Could he pick up an adult when he was extremely angry?

Of course, this was just his imagination. It was only then that he noticed that in the Heavenly Market System, there was an additional number behind the location “Western Fantasy World” after signing the contract with Gordon.

[1%]

When his consciousness focused on this 1%, the system automatically explained the meaning of this number.

[After you sign a contract with the natives of this world, you can obtain the ability to adapt to this world. For example, in the Western Fantasy World, your strength, magic, affinity, and other combat-related abilities can be enhanced.]

In other words, if he signed more contracts, it was very likely that he could obtain the power of all the worlds. At that time, he would be like the god of this new world!

Just as Li Tianxiang was about to drool, the system ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

[The target of the contract must be determined by the system. Most natives cannot provide the contract service.]

Tsk. In other words, the purpose of this Heavenly Market System was to help Li Tianxiang find a “contract partner” in the world and sign a contract that would allow him to farm better.

Li Tianxiang’s mind was filled with thoughts of farming. After all, the basic system he had now was the Global Farming System.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Market System was only an accident he had discovered in the Global Farming System. Of course, as for its real purpose…

When Li Tianxiang discovered the real purpose of the Heavenly Market System, he would simply felt as if he had missed out on a great treasure and would scold himself for it.

“I hate it when people lie to me.”

Li Tianxiang found an excuse that he thought was very perfunctory. However, Lan kept nodding her head to indicate that she understood. Lan even wanted to guarantee him that her father would never lie to him.

On the other hand, May noticed the strange expression on Li Tianxiang’s face. However, she only covered her mouth and chuckled, not exposing him.

“Ahem.”

Li Tianxiang coughed and threw the half-melted mithril jar that was filled with impurities on the table.

“Since there’s nothing here, let’s go look elsewhere.”

Lan was elated when she heard this. She volunteered and said that she knew the most cost-effective alchemy workshop. Then, she was about to leave with Li Tianxiang.

“Don’t…”

A small hand grabbed Li Tianxiang’s trouser, causing Li Tianxiang to look down.

Eve was holding onto a bit of fabric in fear. Seeing him look over, Eve immediately let go.

“Our family really has mithril…”

However, Li Tianxiang shook his head, squatted down, and placed a gold coin in her palm.

“Trading requires fairness and integrity. Moreover, these two materials are extremely precious. Once they are used up, they are almost irreplaceable. Thus, even if he offers extremely pure and reasonably-priced mithril now, I will not buy it from here.”

“However, you did bring us to an alchemy workshop. Although it’s not a good place, you completed the mission we previously mentioned. Thus, you deserve this gold coin.”

Eve pinched the gold coin, bit her lower lip, and looked at Li Tianxiang with eyes full of gratitude.

Li Tianxiang patted her little head through her patched hat. Then, he stood up and followed May and Lan out of the shabby alchemy workshop.

After they left, a fierce argument broke out in the alchemy workshop room.

As Lan walked, she looked back after every three steps. It seemed as if she was worried about Eve.

“She should be fine, right…”

May asked Li Tianxiang in a low voice, but saw that he had no intention of turning back. Thus, she could only follow behind him and slowly leave.

“Wait! Wait!”

The three of them had just reached the corner of the street when they heard Eve panting and shouting behind them.

He turned around and saw a small figure running along the stone path. In a flash, she appeared behind everyone.

“This is for you.”

With that said, she placed a cloth bag into Li Tianxiang’s hands and left before she could refuse.

“What is it, what is it?”

Lan looked over with a curious expression.

Li Tianxiang opened the bag and poured a few things that looked like elemental crystals into his palm.

However, they were much smaller than elemental crystals and were only as large as the fingernail of his pinky. Furthermore, they were not the color of any elements. He did not see the cyclone that indicated the magic power of elemental crystals either.

“What is this?”

May also came over, but she didn’t recognize what Li Tianxiang was holding.

As for Li Tianxiang, he was stunned by the system notification..
