Chapter 297: Definitely Not Hiding from the IRS
"Lumi, convert 15,000 Mana Crystals into System Points."
Lumi’s eyes sparkled brightly as she twirled energetically, swiftly responding with clear enthusiasm.
[Right away, Master!
Within seconds, a large portion of Mana Crystals vanished from the storage ring, instantly drawn into the Limitless System. Orion watched intently as the floating system panel flashed with rapidly updating numbers:
[1, 0.8, 1, 1.3, 0.9, 1, 0.7, 1...]
The numbers flickered constantly, reflecting each Mana Crystal’s individual mana content. He knew from past experience that high-grade Mana Crystals averaged around one System Point each, though it could vary depending on their quality.
Moments later, the rapid counting ceased. Lumi cheerfully announced the final conversion result with her characteristic upbeat tone:
[Master, the final count is... 15480 SP! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
Orion’s brows knitted slightly in mild disappointment, noticing the unexpectedly lower total. With curiosity, he asked Lumi, ’Why is it lower than usual, Lumi? I thought it would be closer to 17000 SP for this many Mana Crystals.’
Lumi’s bright expression dimmed just slightly as she explained patiently,
[Ah, Master, it’s because the Mana Crystals weren’t of exceptional quality this time. Most of them had around just 1 SP worth of mana, with many slightly below standard. If you get better-quality crystals next time, the SP yield will increase significantly!]
Orion nodded his head thoughtfully, inwardly wondering about the low quality of mana in the entire kingdom. Lightly shaking his head, he replied to Lumi, ’Alright, I understand. We’ll make do with this amount for now.’
