Chapter 41: The system got fixed???
His mother had instantly noticed the ring on his finger the moment he walked into the house and asked about it.
Alex claimed that he had gotten it from a random roadside shop for five Zen. He said that the person said it was a storage device and was literally giving it away for the price of five Zen.
His mother shook her head after hearing this, thinking that her son had been scammed. She didn’t scold him and only warned him not to buy things from such places in the future, as the sellers were very dishonest and usually sold fake things.
She thought Alex would realise the truth soon after he discovered that he had been sold a normal ring.
After the short matter about the ring was cleared up, Alex went to his room to wash up before coming down to help set up the table for dinner.
His father came later that evening, and they all had dinner together. Alex was asked during dinner if there was anything he needed since he entered the Adept mage rank.
Although his parents were ordinary people and did not know much about mages, they knew that growing a mage required resources and a lot of money.
And they had experienced it before, during the process when Alex had newly awakened and entered the academy, it was also the reason why they had fallen into debt. They were just concerned that Alex hadn’t asked for anything since he made a breakthrough, not even a single mana core.
Alex was touched by their concern but shook his head in response, he really didn’t need anything. Even if he did, he could afford anything himself and just go kill more beasts if he was short on money.
His father stared at him so intently after Alex said that he didn’t need anything, it was as if his father suspected that he was lying and was trying to look into his soul.
He gave up in the end after Alex only looked back with a blank look on his face; he truly didn’t need anything.
