Damon looked at the giant mana shards and exhaled deeply. Right now, mana cores and even these mana shards might seem pretty much useless for most of the players except for people who chose alchemy or smithing, but all of that was going to change now.
Today, people dismissed them as crafting scraps; tomorrow, they would be the currency of power. Once a person reached C rank, leveling became a lot more complicated. It wouldn’t be simple monster farming anymore.
At that time one needed a huge amount of resources make any progress. An inevitable bottleneck would strangle even so-called geniuses when they finally hit that wall.
When that time comes, a lot was required just to take a small step forward and along with that a shit ton of mana cores were also needed.
As he thought about it, Damon realized he had been far too one-track-minded. He needed to hit the auction house more and purchase things which were currently sold at a ridiculously cheap price and would later on shoot up in value when their correct use was discovered.
There were a few more things he could do like that like purchasing lands and shops and so on. All of this was extremely bothersome and would waste quite a bit of his time but the returns would be tremendous.
He at least needed to pawn this work off to someone else and somehow get it done. Otherwise, he would be scrap picking like this for money everytime something important popped up. He needed a constant source of revenue.
Damon’s brain raced with many thoughts as he asked Azuna. "Any chance you could also absorb this whole mine into your world and nurture it? Maybe even pop out some mana shards for me every now and then?"
Azuna remained silent for a moment and then slowly shook her head. "I am sorry, Master. I understand your wishes but right now such a thing is not possible for me. Perhaps if I could obtain just one more item for my domain stabilization, I could definitely do something like this and even a lot more than grow a simple mine."
Damon nodded. He had kind of already expected this. "Another item, huh? Then I’ll find it for you."
If Azuna could stabilize her world enough to store mines, and who knows what else, then the possibilities were endless. He wouldn’t just be farming loot, he’d own the damn production line. However, that needed some seed funding which he couldn’t afford right now. It had to wait.
"Please forgive me, Master." Azuna looked a little sad.
Damon smiled and patted her head. "It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. You have already done a lot for me. Take care of that idiot tree or plant for me. That’s enough for now. I will feed you with good stuff soon. I promise."
Azuna lowered her gaze shyly, crimson hair cascading like a curtain of blood. "With that... my world would become strong enough to sustain entire domains. Whatever you place inside, I could reshape, refine, and even multiply. It would be yours, Master. All yours."
