Billion Dollar Player

Chapter 8: Blessed with money!

Raven glanced at the sixty seconds remaining on the timer. Even though he didn't know anything about the Sword, it felt special since it could only be bought in this place. Moreover, with its cost, it was definitely the best item that was available for him to buy.

Without a second thought, he pressed on the Nameless Sword.

[Error. Conditions not satisfied. You can't buy the Item]

A new screen appeared before him, showing him the conditions available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To purchase the selected item, certain minimum criteria must be met.

• Twenty Million Coins in reserve (Satisfied)

• Successfully completing the three hidden stages in the Bloodline Trial (Pending)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raven was caught off guard when he saw the minimum requirements. He had just started his journey and was only on the first hidden stage. He wasn't even sure if he could successfully complete this stage, let alone discovering other hidden stages to acquire the sword.

[00:51]

[00:50]

In the end, he could only select other items with only fifty seconds remaining in the timer.

He opted to choose the second best weapon among the available choices of weapons, the Burning Sword of Hephaestus, that had captured his interest.

{Exclusive Skill 001 Limitless has been activated}

As Raven contemplated abandoning his pursuit of the elusive Nameless Sword, a familiar voice echoed in his mind. It was the very same voice that had spoken to him when he had broken through the recharge limit!

{Minimum Criteria Limit on the selected item has been removed}

At that moment, the Minimum Criteria screen vanished and was replaced by another screen indicating a successful purchase.

At first, the Mysterious Merchant felt disappointed as he observed Raven's futile attempts. Despite Raven's efforts to purchase the sword, he was unable to do so.

Although he was not informed of the reason for the purchase failure, he assumed that the young man did not have enough money, which was a reasonable explanation.

With only thirty-five seconds left on the timer, he was about to recommend that the young man choose a different item. However, before he could even utter the words of advice, his expression suddenly became vacant.

The transaction was a success! The coveted Sword that all Bloodline Trial participants yearned for had been sold!

His face was filled with confusion. Raven had just entered Hellfire. He didn't even reach the stage where he could meet the other Players in the Bloodline Trial! So how did he have twenty million coins?

To his surprise, Raven continued to make purchases even as time was running out. He went on to buy additional items in a matter of seconds.

[00:25]

[Congratulations. You have purchased the Phoenix Armor]

[00:21]

[Congratulations. You have purchased Boots of Wind's Blessing]

....

It was as if Raven was at a race against time, buying as many items as he needed! What was even more surprising was that all the items he bought were the most expensive items in the store.

As the Dwarf observed, his astonishment only grew. It dawned on him that the Manager of the First Floor might have given some extra money to Raven in secret. How else can a newcomer have such a significant amount of coins?

He couldn't help but wonder if Raven was some illegitimate child of a god or something.

Excitement could clearly be seen on Dwerg's face! In the last two minutes, he had managed to sell items worth more than he sold in the last one month combined! He was only a Level Two Merchant in Hellfire.

There were a total of nine levels of Godly Merchants in Hellfire. While level one was the weakest, level nine was the strongest grade a merchant could get! There were only two Level Nine Merchants in this world, having access to Mythical Items of the Merchant Association Storage!

Dwerg's aspiration was to attain that level which he deemed as his personal and fervent dream.

As Raven's figure came into view, something shifted inside him. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but it was as though a glimmer of hope had been ignited within his heart. There was a sense of unwavering certainty that Raven was the one who could guide him towards becoming a level nine godly merchant.

As the countdown timer reached its final five seconds, Raven hastily completed his shopping, ensuring that he had everything he needed.

Raven now sported an exquisite silver armor on his chest with a stunning Phoenix Symbol at its center. This Armor was a high-grade item, and the finest among all that one could obtain in the realm of Bloodline Trials. One couldn't help but be mesmerized by its beauty. Nevertheless, Raven had much more to showcase.

Every finger on his hand was adorned with a high-tier ring, providing him with an array of benefits. Some boosted his stamina, while others accelerated his healing time or enhanced his speed and strength.

In addition, there were a few uncommon rings that enhanced certain stats that were typically difficult to boost, including the elusive Ring of Luck that granted a slight increase in luck.

In addition to the ten rings, Raven also wore a blue pendant that enhanced his mana and magical abilities. Despite not having any knowledge of magic, he made the purchase.

He also purchased a luxurious robe with a flowing fabric that seemed to have a mind of its own. Although he didn't have much opportunity to examine it closely, he noticed the quality and elegance of the garment, along with its high defensive stats.

On his feet, he wore the Shoes of Wind's Blessing, which granted him the ability to walk in the air for a few seconds.

At least that's what it was supposed to be like since the Shoes had a cooldown time of an hour after each use, but even Raven was stunned to find out that he didn't have to worry about Cooldowns!

The ability of Limitless was truly extraordinary and surpassed all expectations. Even the usual restrictions of cooldown periods were eliminated, which allowed him to effortlessly walk in the air for an unlimited period of time while donning the shoes.

Unfortunately, the height he could walk on was limited to only a few meters.

He had only one concern - the fact that [Limitless] was passive in nature, which meant he could not activate it at will. He didn't even know what made it activate at times, since the cooldown of most of the items wasn't removed. He also didn't know what its limitations were.

He wanted to find more about his Exclusive Skill.

[00:00]

While Raven was thinking about his exclusive Skill, the countdown timer reached its end!
