END Initiated...

The other maids echoed out in agreement with each other. Kiel could even tell how excited they were from their voices.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no treasure at all. They were simply there for the beast core. 

'Sigh! What a disappointment! I thought that they are after some treasures and I can be the fisherman for once, grabbing the treasure at the most opportune moment and running away like those pros in novels. Sigh! But looks like I overestimated these kids!'

Lamenting at his lost opportunity, Kiel seemed to have neglected the fact that a level 1 beast core sells for 10-50 silvers. 

The green-eyed snake that he caught previously in the Virakali mountain range was only at the lower end of the spectrum. And it didn't even form its beast core. That's why he only got 1 silver in return. Otherwise, how could a little kid hunt it? It was only enough to show off to the villagers. In the towns and cities, the beasts without beast cores lose their values pretty easily.

Only when a beast forms its beast core can it be considered a real threat.

{A/N: Green-eyed snake is the level 1 beast that Kiel caught for a silver when he was about to travel to Raai. If you forgot it don't! Concentrate on the story!!!}

Also, in the cities, there were no copper transactions. Trades and commerce were actually executed by silver and gold coins. And for high-end transactions, they were carried out in platinum coins. As 1 white gold coin equalled to 10000 gold coins. Why so much difference regarding other coins? Hehe, white gold coins were only used to signify status and wealth.

{A/N:  if you have forgotten

1oo copper coins= 1 silver coin

1000 silver coins = 1 gold coin

10000 gold coins = 1 white gold coin}

Sometimes even gems were used in transactions. But the value of gems varied greatly. So they were only considered in some special occasions. 

But coins are only worldly possessions. For a practitioner, coins lose their values. That what they taught him in the class. But they teach many things in the classes. Do we follow everything?

'Most protagonists would find such treasures like picking up cabbages. But here I am looking at four s.e.xy maids ravaging a beast! Looks like I am not suitable to be the main character… '

Kiel sneered off at his bad luck. But although he was talking bullsh*t, he had already arrived at his destination. The fight was still going on, so he only needed popcorn to enjoy the free show.

'I even over speculated about the reasons behind the beast not going away. It was mainly because of an array. If I could only use my mana sight… A pity that I have exhausted my mental capacities.'

If those girls could hear him speak now, they would definitely through the magic arrows to him instead.

"Dude do you actually know how much a beast core is? And what do you think, if it was a treasure only we four would be here? And are treasures like roadside mushrooms? You could pick one at your will?"

Kiel could not even afford one beast core even if he wanted, and he was the one to talk. Even the base price for a level 2 beast core was 1 gold coin.

Let's not talk about the beast variant which was at the verge of breaking through to level 3. 

"Or maybe they could even die due to excessive blood loss from anger! That would be good. I can take all their treasures and run then!"

[Beeeeeep! Host have you gone mad talking to yourself now?]

As Kiel was being immersed in his delusion of being a fisherman, suddenly a high-intensity beep sounded inside his head! 

For a moment Kiel felt like his veins popping open and he was about to shout his lungs off. But luckily he had a good mental capacity. Otherwise, instead of fighting among themselves, he would be the first to be torn apart. 

Coming back to his senses, he was drenched in cold sweat all over. 

"Phew, luckily I am mentally sound! Otherwise, I would be dead from the noise itself. But what was that?"

Kiel wanted to know where the mysterious beep came from, but he quickly realised that he had been so engrossed in the fight ahead that he forgot about his system. And by the vigour of the sound attack, he was sure that she had gone mad from anger!

"Bloody hell! System is that you? Are you angry with me?"

[Host must be delusion! I am merely a system without any emotions. How could I be even angry for being ignored for such a long time! I am definitely not angry! Definitely not]

He was now even more drenched in cold sweat. From the looks of it, he was not going to be forgiven anytime soon. The grumpy voice of the system was definitely proof. But now he could definitely need some extra help.

If he could not get any treasure, he could at least go for the most opportune moment to help the iron girls group, to build a good relationship. It may help sometime in the future. 

Or maybe some gold coins. He could then start his industrial revolution! Also, he remembered hearing a few beeping notifications in his mind earlier. So the thing he needed the least now was the system ignoring him.

So he took the dare and pursed his lips

"System! Sorry, it was my fault. I… I… will never do it again!"

[...]

"System?" 

Seeing that his efforts were in vain Kiel's head drooped down. And no he was not acting. 

Although he was an old man by his mental age, after getting his new body, various hormones and other chemicals from the new body were still influencing him. So he was upset for real. Upset for forgetting someone close to him. 

But what could he do, it was his habit. If he was immersed in something, he would easily forget everything else. He definitely couldn't tell it to the system. Wait system sounds kinda bad! Maybe he should give her a name!

Kiel was no good in persuading, patching up with or pursuing girls. In his previous life too, he just had to say yes and there would be a long line of girls. But he never cared about them as all it mattered to him was his work. But not now. He was a kid now. Although the system was not a human, it still acted like a girl.

Note-

We got to the 50th chapter. Great. Maybe 1 more chapter today? but don't worry! From now onwards, there will be chapters every day. There will be a minimum of 7chapters in a week. And I will increase the rate more after I become habituated with writing daily!
