10 Chapter 10
"How long before I see them?" Quickstep asked the system after five minutes of flight in the air.
"The nearest would get you 1,584,537 years of airtime. The other about 2,048,624 years of travel time at your current speed," the system answered Quickstep.
"Bouncing balls! That long?!" Quickstep said to the system.
"Affirmative, host," the system replied to Quickstep.
"Bouncing balls! I want to get there sooner than those many many years!" Quickstep argued to the system.
"You can be there faster if you acquire higher existences to transmogrify, host," the system apathetically said to Quickstep.
"How high?" Quickstep queried to the system.
"At least Tier D Rare Existence, host," the system informed Quickstep.
"Bouncing balls!" Quickstep bellowed as he checked the price of a rare existence in the system shop. The most affordable ones were at 15,000 shop points.
"Think! Think! There has got to be some way I haven't yet thought of," Quickstep was forcing his little bird brain to function more than it should as its neurons were working nonstop. He landed on a giant sequoia tree to focus on finding a solution for his dilemma.
"Hahaha! I got it! I'm so smart! I may even be more intelligent than those humans! Hehehe!" Quickstep was thrilled when suddenly thought of something he had neglected before.
"How many existences can I transmogrify into?" Quickstep asked the system after an hour of thinking atop the giant sequoia tree.
"270 existences and creations, host," the system answered Quickstep.
"If I sell them all for shop points, how much would I get?" Quickstep immediately said his second question to the system.
"304,500 shop points host," the system told Quickstep.
"Hahaha! I knew it! I'm the best! Who's the best?! Quickstep is the best! Hehehe!" Quickstep was jubilant as he sang and danced in his Peregrine Falcon body. He somersaulted and did back flips in his unusual performance.
"Deduct the stone, tree and this bird I'm using now. How much shop points do I have left?" Quickstep enquired to the system. He was a wise ant and thus, saw the importance of the three. The stone could make him not feel pain. The Peregrine Falcon could let him fly like a ruler of the sky.
Lastly, he retained the tree for sentimental reasons as he had become one for a hundred years. Selling it would be akin to selling himself to the shop. Quickstep did not feel right about that thought.
"300,500 shop points, host," the system answered Quicktep.
"Good. Show me the S Tier Mythical Existences. I want those who have natural healing abilities or have healing magic." Quickstep instructed the system.
The cheapest mythical existence can be bought at 250,000 shop points while above that is the SS Tier Legendary Existences which costs 500,000 shop points for its lowest priced beings.
He specifically wanted those who can heal themselves because he had learned his lesson the hard way before. Being in constant pain without the possibility to mend his wounds or wait a century for a full recovery was not on Quickstep's agenda ever again.
He went through those inconveniences once and he had had enough. He will never give another chance for its reoccurrence.
"Affirmative, host," the system responded to Quickstep.
