Chapter 390: Becoming a member (3)
Hex didn’t know why the Oldest Store had a rule that forced people to visit the store three different times. And you couldn’t just exit and enter right after that.
He had to spend an entire day walking around and visiting the store before he managed to fulfill the quota of having visited it three times. Of course, the three visits weren’t without results.
Once Trid regained consciousness, his father was more than happy to pay all his dues. Not only did he pay the ’spy’ the one million coins, he also gave Hex a million. According to him, the one million would help him become a member – it wasn’t hard for him to know that Hex was aiming for that with his requirement of three visits – and leave him some to buy a few more stuff.
The two million pained him, that much was clear from the creases in his forehead, but he seemed to place the worth of his son above the money.
Gaining so much from a simple task, which started because of a simple visit to the Challenger Hall, Hex felt extremely motivated. In return, he had explained in depth how and who had poisoned Trid. Unsurprisingly, it was Coralaine. She had used a Technique that had altered her body and water elements.
How she knew about Trid’s Technique and the counter plan was something Hex had no interest in. Another benefit was that he managed to leave a good impression on the Elder, who promised him more requests and help if ever needed.
The issue was the Dryad. The guy, one of the few ’daughters of Wrixia’ was clingy, unlike anyone Hex had met. His wish to learn from Hex left him stalking and chasing Hex all day long. Hex had to activate the Veil of Death multiple times, just to get rid of the guy.
...
Hex admired his collection. After completing his third visit, he had to wait before entering the Oldest Store to request his membership. In his mind, he rated the service of the store as the worst. If the place didn’t have all the things he needed, plus a lot more, he would have never returned to the place.
