Chapter 462 : The White Tower’s Attention
Chapter 462: The White Tower’s Attention
“Good morning, Miss Tifa.”
Just like at White Coral Academy, the resource exchange office on the fourth floor of the White Tower was also constructed from a massive Magical Crystal Wall.
And as the “Guardian” of the fourth floor, the White Cat Tifa was currently sprawled across a levitating book, staring absentmindedly at the crowd before her.
“Hello, apprentice.”
Compared to the “enthusiasm” she had shown during their first meeting, Janna could clearly sense that White Cat Tifa’s demeanor had become far more indifferent this time.
“Cats really are creatures whose emotions are hard to grasp—”
After grumbling silently in her heart, Janna did what every other wizard apprentice did. She approached one of the Magical Crystal Walls and pressed her index finger against the fingerprint scanner.
“There are quite a lot of items.”
Once the Crystal Wall finished verifying Janna’s personal information, all available exchangeable resources appeared before her.
Among them were numerous apprentice-level witch tools, high-level witchcraft, alchemical items, and rare potions. Their quantity and quality were ten times stronger—if not more—than what White Coral Academy had offered.
But Janna was not concerned with these things at the moment. What she came here for was the section on the main page of the Crystal Wall labeled 【Source Power】.
“So expensive!?”
As soon as the 【Source Power】 section expanded before Janna, the information inside filled her vision.
What struck her most was the contribution points listed after each entry.
“A single portion of 【Earth Source】 requires one hundred thousand contribution points. Converted into Gold Surels, that’s one hundred thousand Gold Surels——”
Staring at the nearly unbelievable number following 【Earth Source】, Janna—who had thought herself to have stepped into the middle class—suddenly realized that her savings of just over a hundred thousand Gold Surels were nothing but a joke before such exorbitantly priced wizard resources.
“Even with such high prices, every type of 【Source Power】 is still marked as out of stock. It seems the White Tower really does have plenty of wealthy people.”
At that thought, Janna recalled the Dragon Vein Sorcerer she had seen yesterday on the first floor of the White Tower, as well as the Green Elf riding a Unicorn. Just looking at their appearances was enough to know they lacked no money.
“Have you decided what resource you want to claim?”
While Janna was still frowning in thought, Hela-Helheim, who had already completed her exchange, stood about a meter away and asked softly.
Claim a resource?
Janna had been about to answer “no” out of habit, but then a “keyword” from Hela-Helheim’s mouth caught her attention.
“Not yet. Did you claim something?”
“Yes, I claimed a portion of 【Purification Source】.”
【Purification Source】?
Upon hearing this, Janna instantly understood the implication and began operating her Crystal Wall interface.
Finally, after about twenty seconds, she found an entry under a section labeled “Personal Storage.” There, she saw a ticket that read: “Any Resource Free Exchange (Exclusive to Janna Roland)!”
“So it really does exist.”
Before arriving at the White Tower, Anthony-Rook had already told Janna that as the champion of the 【Andrew-Gamp Transfiguration Trial】 and a wizard apprentice in possession of four 【Law Fragments】, she would definitely receive special resource privileges from the White Tower.
At first, back when she knew nothing of 【Fallen Stars】, Janna had thought that such privileges only meant access to more spells or witch tools.
But now that she possessed her own 【Fallen Star】, she truly realized that for all apprentices of the White Tower, the most valuable resources were the “plane-level” ones that could be used to repair a 【Fallen Star】.
And such resources could only be obtained through top-tier wizard organizations like the White Tower, which were able to connect to different 【Star Domains】.
Collecting her thoughts, Janna refocused her gaze on the “exchange ticket” displayed on the Crystal Wall.
“It really worked!”
Even though the main page of the Crystal Wall showed all 【Source Powers】 as sold out, after seeing that Hela-Helheim had managed to exchange for a 【Purification Source】, Janna also attempted to exchange for 【Earth Source】.
Sure enough, the moment she made her decision, the “exchange ticket” in her “Personal Storage” vanished, replaced by a new entry labeled 【Earth Source】.
“It won’t arrive for three days—”
Although 【Earth Source】 had appeared in her “Personal Storage,” she could not claim it immediately and instead had to wait three days.
“I’ve finished as well. I claimed 【Earth Source】.”
Hearing Janna’s words, Hela-Helheim nodded.
“Don’t you think Miss Tifa’s red ribbon today is less cute than the pink one she wore yesterday?”
“Ribbon?”
Caught off guard by the sudden comment, Janna was briefly at a loss. But with her extensive social experience, she quickly replied naturally.
“I think both look nice, but the pink one does make her look a bit cuter——”
Thanks to her 【Exceptional Memory】, Janna instantly recalled that White Cat Tifa had indeed worn a pink ribbon yesterday when she received the apprentices.
However, Janna had never paid much attention to such details from the beginning.
“Do you have anything else you want to exchange?”
“No, I’ve more or less exchanged what I needed.”
Aside from the free 【Earth Source】, Janna had also exchanged for many spells she could currently learn, along with various elemental essences her contracted creatures could use—plus, a tutorial on harp playing.
That such a thing as a “harp tutorial” could even be found in the White Tower’s resource exchange surprised her greatly.
Not only that—sketching, sculpting, opera performance—these artistic courses beyond the extraordinary domain were also searchable through the Crystal Wall.
“Would you be interested in visiting the 【Star Domain Zone】?”
“The 【Star Domain Zone】?”
At Hela-Helheim’s words, Janna raised an eyebrow.
The White Tower, as a tall, forty-four-story structure, had different layouts on each floor.
For example, the Astrology Zone on the first floor, the dining hall on the second, the apprentice dormitories on the third, the resource exchange on the fourth—”
In addition, there were mission zones, public activity areas, magical plant cultivation zones, magical creature nurseries, wizard office zones, meditation areas, and more.
One could say the White Tower’s layout was similar to the Magic Tower of White Coral Academy.
The only difference was that within the White Tower, there was also an area called the 【Star Domain Zone】.
