Chapter 49: 49. Questions and Answers
"Ahhh. What are you? Who are you?" The bald monk Lin Bai asked the fairy.
"I'm Sera. And I will be your guide in the tower." She said with a smile as she flung her white hair backwards.
"What about him?" Natasha pointed towards Dexter who sat at a corner.
"He is annoying and impatient." The fairy snorted.
Dexter then looked at one side and saw a staircase leading up and he stood up before walking towards it.
As he got close he felt stares and the fairy and the three people were looking at him curiously.
He ignored them before stretching his hand forward and then a blue barrier stopped him from advancing.
"So impulsive, hmph. You're the last person I'll attend to." The fairy then began to attend to the three new individuals.
...
"So it works like this. This is amazing." The monk said as they walked around to pick techniques.
"Brother Quan. What do you think?" The monk said as he picked out an orb and summoned a golden staff.
"Amazing." Quan said with a smile.
"Yeah. We never thought things like this would happen." Natasha chimed in.
The monk Lin Bai suddenly looked towards Dexter's position and saw that his eyes were closed and he was quiet.
"That guy fell asleep." The monk mumbled and the others turned to see Dexter and Quan snorted.
"He'll probably die tomorrow or the next with that behavior of his. People like him don't survive in this apocalypse." Quan said before walking towards another shelf.
Meanwhile...
'The effect of the second version of lightning bullet spear was great. But one thing is still a problem, spirit energy.' Dexter thought.
Hearing the newbies speak about him like that he just breathed out.
'I'll not survive yet its my second time here. Weaklings.' He thought and ignored their voices.
"Come on let's go."
Hearing the fairy's voice he opened his eyes to see her fly past him and then passed the barrier, deactivating it.
"Hey!! Why is he going up?!" The monk shouted from a distance.
"Because it's his second time." The fairy said and took Dexter upstairs and the others were shocked.
"Second time?" The monk repeated. "She means that he has been here before. But how?"
The monk raised a brow in confusion while Quan just furrowed his brows in anger.
"He must be at a high level and still allowed me to say that he would die." Quan felt like he was treated like a fool.
"Just let it slide." Natasha said and Quan then sighed before nodding.
...
Upon getting upstairs Dexter was marveled as the upper floor was even more grandiose that the floor below them.
"Listen to my instructions and obey them. If you annoy me one more time I'll ban you." The fairy warned.
"Ah. No no no, I'm not annoying you anymore ma'am." Dexter bowed a little and the fairy nodded in satisfaction.
"So you reached level ten. Quite fast. Even if you weren't the first to reach level 10, amongst humans, you are currently the strongest amongst them." The fairy said. "But don't let it get to your head."
"Oh. Before we start there are some questions I have about some things." Dexter said and the fairy looked at him with a raised brow.
"Five."
"Hm?" Dexter was confused.
"I will answer five questions of yours. That's it." The fairy folded her arms and Dexter began to think about the questions he would ask.
"First things first. I am the only vampire on earth, right? At least that's what I think." He said and she chuckled.
"Hehe. No, you're not. Next question."
"Ah. That answer is not satisfactory." Dexter complained but the fairy didn't say anything.
"What is the second phase of the tiran impact about?" He asked.
"The second stage of the tiran impact is the, evolution stage. When this happens, not just humans will evolve, everything will." She explained.
"Wait, everything?"
"Yes. Everything with life." She said and Dexter nodded in satisfaction.
"About spirit energy. It seems like it regenerates on its own but very slowly. Is there a faster way to regenerate it?" Dexter asked.
The fairy didn't say anything and just waved her hand. A golden, glowing orb appeared in front of her and she threw it towards Dexter.
He caught it luckily and it's details then began appearing in front of him.
[Technique - Spirit cultivation technique.]
[Description - You can cultivate your spirit energy without waiting for hours before it automatically regenerates.
The higher the level of the person, the faster they recover spirit energy.]
[Cost - 1500 Heaven's tower points]
'Damn. A whole 1500 points for this. Wait, it's a technique!' His eyes widened.
"And I have another question. I got a technique from killing a monster zombie and it's Unranked. Can you explain techniques and differentiate them from skills."
The fairy unfolded her arms in shock.
"You got a technique?" She was shocked to hear this.
"W... what rank is it?" She asked nervously.
"That's one of the problems, it's Unranked." Dexter said and Sera was even more shocked.
"A rankless technique at the earlier stages of the tiran impact. Normally techniques start showing up at the second phase." The fairy mumbled but then she suddenly realized something and looked at him.
"But you can't learn it because of the element." She said.
Dexter furrowed his brows, "How did you know?"
"Hmph. I'm the guardian of the tower. There are thousands of skills and techniques in this place since the tower has every single technique ever made." She snorted.
"One more question." Dexter said and the fairy looked at him with a smirk.
"You have asked five questions already." She said and he furrowed his brows as she started counting.
"Being the only vampire on earth, about the second phase of the tiran impact, everything with life will evolve, spirit energy and lastly, technique." She mentioned the questions and Dexter realized that he wasn't careful enough.
"Go ahead and pick out totems that you want." The fairy said before flying down the stairs.
She slowed down halfway as she furrowed her brows in confusion.
"So he is the phoenix's chosen one. But he's a vampire." She mumbled as she put a hand on her chin.
'Well. Whatever it wants is up to it. But I'm not sure he can use the technique even if he survives.' She thought as she then went to the newbies downstairs.
