Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 147: I am rich! Part2

Tang Yue wiggled her butt on the feathered bed and curiously retrieved the pieces of jewels one by one from her space pearl.

There were three shiny rings, each made of a crystal clear ruby gem. 

These gems were especially suitable for rune crafting and were a common material for crafting space pouches.

Other than the rings, there were also a couple of earring sets and one amulet chain. 

These were fitted with emerald and amethyst gems, also used as common runic materials, but not for space pouches.

These were actually solely used for mana enhancing engravings and mana barrier engravings.

[Ho Ho Ho. It looks like you have got some good items there, little snake!] The elder chimed in.

Tang Yue indignantly scoffed and asked the old man. 

"Can you tell me what are these and what special properties do they have?"

[Of course, not. Do you think that I am as jobless as you? Hmph.]

Tang Yue shook her head and moved on. 

Asking this old goat anything extra was useless, but suddenly an idea popped up in her mind.

"He He." The snake wickedly grinned. "Maybe because my mental strength is high now, I have suddenly become so smart!"

She hummed and quickly started equipping the two sets of earrings and the amulet.

Even though the jewelry style was very small and simple, a typical style suited for men, it fit her perfectly and enhanced the beauty of her features.

But more importantly, Tang Yue was interested in its functionality.

She quickly flicked open her status screen and observed her new stats.

"Aha!" The snake beamed in delight.

Just like she had expected, the enhancement runes placed on the jewelry were clearly outlined in her system interface.

The stupid old man was half the time misleading her! He couldn't have pointed her to such an easy solution?

Hmph. She scoffed at the illusionary elder again and busied herself with the details.

______________

Items Equipped:

Emerald Earring: High grade; Mana regeneration: +5000mp/hr

Amethyst Earring: High grade; Mana regeneration: +5000mp/hr

Emerald Amulet: High-grade; Able to withstand three attacks from a Saint realm expert.

______________

"Ah!" She gasped in surprise.

Her opened mouth slowly became wider and wider and she let out a loud scream.

5000mp/hr????

Her entire mana core only had a pitiful 500 mana points. But now, with these two high-grade items, she will literally never run out of mana, at least using the current spells in her wheelhouse!

"Fuck! This is awesome." Tang Yue pinched herself. The rich really knew how to be prepared!

These were no longer mere enhancement items! These were treasures! 

HIGH-GRADE TREASURES!

Tang Yue had never in her life had the privilege of wearing such extravagant items.

These few additions directly boosted her combat strength quite a bit.

Now that she had them, she felt as if these were a must for any combat expert stepping out of the settlement into the beast territories.

With these, she could have easily taught those crocodiles who is the boss.

Not only that but the amulet was a top-tier defense artifact! 

Capable enough to withstand an attack from a Saint realm expert? 

That was something that could truly come in handy. 

After all, her enemies were everywhere on the streets of Eldoria, waiting patiently for her to take a step outside so that they could finish her off.

"He He He. Having a sugar daddy is not too shabby!" The snake grinned and closed her system interface.

She then quickly picked up the three ruby rings. Unlike the earrings and the amulet, these were simply storage pouches.

Well if you can call them that!

Tang Yue was already happy with her haul, but now she looked scared senseless as she peeped inside these pouches one by one.

Heaps and heaps of multicolored sparkling gems were littered on the vast surface of the spatial pouch.

In all three of them!

"Did he just give me the entire wealth of Eldoria or what??"

"Just how rich are these stinking elves??"

Her tongue lifelessly coiled around her silver fang, as the snake started panicking inwardly.

She had never seen so many gems at the same time! What an obscene amount of wealth!

Once the entire picture slowly hit her on the face, the snake then suddenly remembered something else or rather someone else!

Particularly, the person who had casually tossed her these few things!

"He He just gave me all of these??" Tang Yue stammered.

No man could ever be this generous without expecting anything in return! 

Uh oh! Her thoughts went wild and her mind started thinking of crazy amorous scenarios.

"Does he expect me to?"

She gulped subconsciously as her thoughts flitted around the different lewd services that might be expected of her

The snake remembered the man's chiseled muscular frame, his unique flattering scent, and the taste of his tongue invading her mouth.

Even his crimson eyes had a sort of cruel charm to them.

"It It might not be too bad?"

"Fuck! What the hell am I thinking about??"

Tang Yue slapped her forehead and shook her head like a maniac. "Focus. Focus. Damn it!"

She quickly freshened up, picked up Little Blue and the duo went for a walk followed by Lotte.

Since there were only two more days for the contest, Tang Yue didn't want to confuse herself with the Lucky wheel or any new techniques she might potentially learn.

"Everything can wait after the contest." She decided.

Her plans might have taken a stroll, but somehow they were all right back on track.

She got the money she needed and now it was time to upgrade everything like crazy! More treasures the better!

"Mid-grade sword? Meh. Only a High-grade or Rare-grade sword suited someone awesome like me!"

"Potions? I am going to buy a million of them!

"He He He." The snake grinned and happily set out on a shopping spree.

"I am finally rich, damn it!" Tears of joy dripped from her enchanting emerald eyes.
