"That's great to hear. I guess I will be spending a lot of time in the library," Vincent said, mocking himself. Immediately after, he thought about this situation seriously, "Tomorrow, I will complete a mission, hunt some monsters, gain hundreds of purified life force and use a portion of it to easily learns dozens of books every day."

‹ Good! After comparing the characteristics of various magic herbs, plants, and other ingredients with the ones used to make this pill, there's a high chance I will be able to modify the recipe. However, the cost to create the modified body strengthening pill will be more than the unmodified one, as you will need to use ingredients with stronger medicinal effects ›

"There's no need to worry about the cost. I will do my best to earn enough contribution points to purchase the ingredients necessary to create a modified pill. The modified pill will sell for a greater price as it has never seen the markets before. I might gain three to ten times my amount of investment from selling a single such pill," Vincent said. He was feeling excited at the prospect of being able to earn a ton of contribution points in the future. "What other thing do I need to do?"

‹ I can compute the golden ratio of the mixing the medicinal essence of the ingredients, but I will need high-level energy such as mana to run my computing function ›

"I understand," Vincent nodded. "I will get a few mana stones near the end of this month. We can use that to run your computing function."

‹ Alright. Lastly, you will need to learn a technique to refine alchemical pills as the ninth didn't store an alchemy technique that human uses in my database. I only have alchemy technique used by the previous heads, and you will need to pass a trial to learn one ›

Vincent's eyes blinked as he checked up the prices of pill refining techniques and cooking techniques online by using his quantum card.

He thought that both professions would be helpful to him.

He will be able to create his pills after becoming an alchemist.

Similarly, he will be able to create magic dishes after becoming a magic chef.

Sometime later, once he scrolled through a lot of pages, Vincent's expression distorted. "Ugh, what a greedy world! Everything costs a lot of money. I can't afford techniques on alchemy and cooking for now. I need to make several hundred contribution points before I can purchase either of them. There are two perfect ways for me to earn money. Complete missions every week and earn contributions points. Use my capabilities as an inscriptionist and sell magic scrolls to stack contribution points. There might be more ways than these two, but I will need to look around."

Turns out, it will require around a thousand contribution points to purchase a single pill refining or a single cooking technique.

He didn't have that many.

However, he could earn them in a few days or so.

Vincent's current goals could be summarized into three points.

1: Complete missions and sell magic scrolls to earn money.

2: Learn alchemy to make money.

3: Learn cooking to create an evolution dish for himself.

"For now, I should increase my strength!"

As soon as he finalized everything he needed to do in the near future, he directly tossed the pill into his mouth.

The pill went down his throat, bursting into a stream of powerful energy that spread far and wide, seeping into every inch and corner of his body.

Vincent could feel a sense of mysticism erupting from his depth as the powerful energy integrated with bones, organs, veins, and every fiber of his being except for the skin.

‹ Your Strength has increased to 59 points ›

‹ Your Agility has increased to 67 points ›

‹ Your Stamina has increased to 52 points ›

‹ Your Constitution has increased to 63 points ›

‹ Your Battle Energy Capacity has increased to 63 points ›

"Wonderful!" Vincent said as his eyes brightened in glee.

The effect of the pill was simply too strong.

It only took a single pill for him to become a lot stronger than before while sitting around and doing nothing.

"With all that done, I should learn the magic power purifying technique."

Vincent took out the lower sun scripture heat purifying method from his spatial ring and started to read each page with a gaze of scrutiny.

The book only had ten pages, each page containing 13 hand signs.

He needed to learn all the hand signs mentioned in the book to utilize the heat purifying method to purify his magic power from impurities.

Sometime later, Vincent's eyes brightened up, and he said, "I have finally memorized the necessary 130 hand signs. Let's purify my magic power!"

While sitting down on the bed, Vincent crossed his legs and started to perform complex hand signs he just learned.

The magic power in his heart began to course through the different veins of his body each time he performed the complex and profound hand signs.

After performing the first 55th hand signs, Vincent could feel that the rate at which the magic power was flowing in his veins has started to increase.

At the 99th hand signs, the magic power flowing in his veins was so fast that he could feel his veins heating up. At the same time, the heat produced in his veins was being used to eliminate the impurities present in the magic power coursing through his veins.

At the last hand signs, Vincent could feel a new type of energy forming in his veins.

At that very moment, a notification bearing great news popped up in front of him.

‹ Congratulations! You've refined 10 units of magic power into 1 unit of mana ›

‹ Mana is a higher form of magic power. One unit of mana is equal to ten units of magic power. You can store 50 units of mana in your heart ›

That means that he will be able to store up to 500 units of magic power.

‹ Mana: 1 unit ›

‹ Magic power: 49 units ›
