First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 297

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! (★ω★)/]

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.’

Putting aside the storage ring, Orion carefully retrieved the Silent Hall Cube from his inventory.

It was an intriguing cube-shaped treasure, covered in intricate runes and mysterious patterns he had previously obtained from a Gacha draw.

Its dark metallic surface shimmered subtly under the dim glow of his room’s lighting, evoking a sense of enigmatic allure.

’Lumi,’ Orion requested calmly, ’I want to analyze this treasure with the Eye of Revelation feature. How much would it cost?’

Lumi paused briefly, her screen flickering as she calculated. Then she responded, slightly hesitant.

[Master... Using Eye of Revelation on this treasure will cost approximately... 2000 SP. ( •᷄ὤ•᷅)]

Orion’s lips immediately twitched in disbelief. ’What? Two thousand System Points just to identify it? Why is it so damn expensive?’

Lumi replied earnestly, slightly embarrassed at the exorbitant cost.

[Master, the reason is simple—the Silent Hall Cube is a treasure beyond Tier 9, far above your current cultivation level. Analyzing it thoroughly requires enormous energy due to the difference in tier. The system set this cost accordingly.]

Orion shook his head gently, sighing quietly. ’Forget it then. I’ll just see if I can figure something out myself.’

For the next few minutes, Orion carefully examined the mysterious cube, gently pressing runes and experimenting with small pulses of mana.

Eventually, after probing and testing, Orion discovered a cleverly hidden slot that perfectly matched the shape of a Mana Crystal.

"Ah, so this requires Mana Crystals to activate," he murmured softly in realization.

Without hesitation, Orion inserted a few hundred Mana Crystals into the cube’s hidden compartment.

Instantly, the Silent Hall Cube surged with a vibrant glow, runes flaring brilliantly in synchronization. A gentle wave of energy radiated outward, swiftly enveloping the entire room.

For a brief moment, Orion felt a strange sensation, as if the world had momentarily slipped away. But a heartbeat later, everything returned to normal, as though nothing had changed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
