Chapter 243: 10,000 Origin Credits a Day! The Dream of Passive Income, Ancient Ruin Reward
[You have obtained a special reward for completing the Ancient Ruin.]
[1. MP Increment Card (Transcendent)]
[2. 20,000 Origin Credits]
"Oh?" Caelus became elated. 10,000 Origin Credits. That was $100!
The rewards they both received were relatively the same. But Caelus decided to give her his MP Increment Card, which surprisingly gave 7 points per use. Right now, Sylvia was the one who needed MP the most. She did not have a default way to get MP or other stats like he did with his aura.
With his and Sylvia’s Origin Credits combined, they had 43,000 Origin Credits, which was $430. The extra 3,000 came from Sylvia. Getting $430 from just one place without using all their monster cores was great. They were moving up in the world! He could now afford more things.
Then, more notifications arrived. They were related to the achievement.
[You reached the top 1 spot on the leaderboard of the Misty Wood Ancient Ruin.]
[You have obtained +1 Reputation Point.]
[You have obtained Furry Slayer III.]
[Status Update]
[Reputation Points: 30]
[Achievements: 3]
[Furry Slayer III: When fighting a furry beast like a rabbit or a ferocious furry beast, you deal +6 damage.]
[Ding! You are the King and Queen of the Ancient Ruin.]
[Starting today, you will receive 10,000 Origin Credits from the ancient ruin as long as you remain at top 1.]
Ignoring the reputation, Furry Slayer III, and the achievement, Caelus’s eyes lit up in shock.
"10,000 Origin Credits a day without doing anything?" Caelus breathed heavily as he stared at the window in disbelief.
Combining that with Sylvia’s reward, it was 20,000 Origin Credits! That was equivalent to his entire grind on his first day here!
"Does this mean as long as I am alive... I can get $100 for free?"
$100 per day? Was that not the dream of many? Sit back, be unemployed, and make money for free. Maybe it was finally time he bought a TV.
"Calm down, Caelus." Sylvia’s lips twitched seeing him act like this.
But she was pleasantly surprised too. Without a new source of income, getting $100 per day was good.
"This is good," Caelus smiled. "It is great that we came here. Thank god I did not miss this place."
[Ding! You have received today’s Ancient Ruin Blessing: 10,000 Origin Credits.]
[Origin Credits: 30,000]
Sylvia, on the other hand, had 33,000.
Of course, he did not plan on taking it from her. He would never do that. He wanted to treat Sylvia like a princess. Having this money was just one step toward that goal. He would thrive in this world with his endless extraction. Those who stood in his way would be eradicated.
"Let us get out, Sylvia." Caelus turned to Sylvia. He smiled warmly as he caressed her face.
The monster core of the Transcendent Rock Rabbit was acquired. At the same time, he removed his mask setting. People had been looking at Sylvia too much. It was time to put the people who thought they were more worthy of having her in their place. In fact, if he had done this from the beginning, the players outside would not have made such a fuss.
"Let us get out of here."
Sylvia nodded. They both saw a portal appear as they prepared to leave. Their figures flickered as they landed back in the burning city area.
By now, all the players, including Fernando, were eagerly waiting for Caelus and Sylvia to come out.
"Look, they are out!" one of the players shouted.
Light descended as two figures became visible. Except this time, Caelus’s face was completely revealed to the masses.
Everyone paused seeing his face.
He was extremely handsome. The girls in the area were immediately stunned seeing him. Pairing him with Sylvia Reign, they looked like a match made in heaven.
No one dared to speak as they stared at Sylvia and Caelus. The two continued walking as if the crowd did not exist. The players who blocked the path naturally made way for them.
Fernando wanted to say something, but he stopped. Caelus glanced at him once, and that was enough to stop him in his tracks.
Once they left the area, they found a portal back to the towns and went to the market. Since Sylvia was originally in another market, it took some time of waiting before he could find her again.
Once they reunited, they went to find Mason. He formally introduced Mason to Sylvia.
"Hello, miss. As a first meet-up gesture, how about rolling the gambling wheel and testing your luck?" Mason asked with a smile.
"That was the plan," Caelus said with a smile. "Do you take dollars?" Caelus asked with a grin.
It was a test. If his theories were right, putting dollars into it would change the logo on the wheel. That would reveal whether this was an ordinary wheel or a talent that Mason possessed. It was not an item since he did not see any inspect option on it.
Mason’s face stiffened. Then, just as quickly, he shook his head. "I am afraid not."
"Well, we will do 200 Origin Credits this time." Caelus turned to Sylvia. "Can you use your 200 Origin Credits?"
He asked because he did not want to break the symmetry of his Origin Credit balance of 30,000. If he used 200, it would turn into 29,800. It would break his small heart.
Sylvia’s lips twitched as she swiftly gave 200 Origin Credits. The wheel began rolling and landed on a 1x rebate.
"Congratulations, you two. You got a 1x rebate!"
Caelus immediately cheered. "See, Sylvia? Gambling is so fun. We got our money back!"
"But it is just the money we gave." Sylvia was speechless.
Every small win counted. Small wins were the foundation of a good and successful life.
Every small win counted toward something bigger, as they say.
Maybe she should take this as a small win and forget about it.
Once that was over, they spoke with Mason a bit more before Caelus and Sylvia went to the Golden Chamber.
There, the old assistant was in the front, already greeting them. She saw Caelus’s appearance but did not comment on it because she somehow earned a glare from the beauty next to him for no reason.
Soon, they went inside to see Chad with his new party members.
"Yo, Chad!" Caelus immediately went to greet him.
Chad seemed to have a deep frown on his face as he talked with his party members.
