The Village Head gathered his subordinates to conduct a meeting and announce that he would be gone for five days. He did not say why he needed to go or where he was going.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Back at Ran's place, he was looking at his hands with a trace of a smile that was playing at the corners of his mouth when he said.

" System I think its time to make a ton of money! " A new idea just recently struck him, and stir his imagination.

These past few days of constant experimentation produced a very fruitful comprehension about his System, not only that, because of his hard work the amount of his soul force increase dramatically. Before modifying the journal will take him 80% of his soul force just to make it durable as a metal but now, he can produce the same result by just 70%. That was a significant increase of 10%.

He was delighted about his overall improvement, but he knows that he has a long way to go. He needed to find a way for him to break the shackle of being a mortal into a cultivator. If only he knows that there was another function hidden at his system.

Today he has the plan to explore the market for a good weapon, this will be his first time strolling around the city alone, but before that, for him to buy a good weapon he needs a ton of money. A weapon is the most expensive item in the market depends on its class.

And the idea that struck him was to sell ore, this was one of the most popular ways to earn money on your own, adding the fact that, he doesn't need to explore a cave just to get some Ore, it is scattered around the forest of Manta Village.

One must have sufficient knowledge about the geography of the forest or else they might leave the safe zone and put in danger, but for Ran, it is way too easy, since childhood the previous owner of his body always have an urge to explore the forest, the experienced he accumulated give him confidence and safety.

Too bad for him it is night time and everyone was sleeping on their bed.

" I wish I could explore the woods at night but it is way too dangerous, not until I become a cultivator, I guess a walk in the cool evening isn't worth the risk of being eaten up by beasts is it? better to sleep first "

he came to his feet, stretching his body to its maximum height, then jump to his bed and sleep.

On the next morning, Stretching, he couldn't ever remember feeling so relaxed or deeply sated, his soul force had another increase and finally recovered to its maximum.

" I am ready to mine some Ore, let's go " He picked up the bag and smiled.

Getting the consent of his parents was the hardest part of his plan, but after he pleaded and promised that he would be safe for like eternity, finally his parents let him go. A quick lunch box was made by her mother and an ordinary ax was entrusted to him by his father.

A short walk to the woods uncovered Ran a small mining spot for the ore. He then starts pounding the spot until he accumulates one. To tell the truth, he can just modify the ax he was using to fasten the work but Ran wanted to save his soul force to execute his plan.

It takes him 2 hours just to mine a single Ore. And the value of the or depends on its class.

The class is divided into 4

Normal Ore - Normal Ore can be sold up to 100 bronze coins.

Rare Ore - A glowing emerald Ore that can be used for crafting rare pieces of equipment, the difference of the price is huge. Rare Ore can be sold for 10 Gold coins or 10,000 bronze.

Legendary Ore - A glowing diamond Ore with glowing tattoos on its body. In this continent, only kingdoms possess this kind of Ore.

Mystical Ore - An Ore with no physical body, There was no real record of that Ore in this continent, but according to the rumors, it is somewhat similar to a mini glowing portal and the size was similar to a normal Ore.

" Finally !!! " he shouted and pulled away the Ore.

Even though now he looked so fatigued, with dark circles under his eyes while sweating all over his body, at least he mined one. Although it was very pitiful to think, that the lowest price of equipment like a bow or a sword was at 1000 bronze or 1 gold, with his pace even he mine for an entire month its impossible for him to get one. But this time Ran has a plan.
