Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 228

228 Clue

Sylas' eyes shone with a bright light when he saw these three listings. He was also taken aback by the 'Secrets' tag on them. It was the first time he had seen such a thing.

In the end, he chose to exchange for [Introduction to Runes, Rune Patterns and Rune Geometry]. Although he could afford to exchange for World of Runes as well, he still wasn't sure if there was anything else he wanted to buy, and he also felt that though he was eager for improvement, biting off more than he could chew wasn't worthwhile.

Part of maximizing wealth was about not allowing it to sit idly. Sylas wasn't much of an economics major, but his parents ran a business, so he had soaked up a few things with his own almost obsessive attention to detail.

The 30 000 coins he saved now by not exchanging for World of Runes just yet would help him to better maximize his funds. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take him to finish going through the Introduction? If it took months, then he would have wasted that 30 000 coins for nothing.

Still, Sylas was satisfied with this purchase. This would teach him a lot about using his new Gene Talent.

What he didn't expect was that the moment he exchanged for it, the small booklet would vanish into motes of light that surged into his body. It was directly imprinted into his mind, and when he tried to pull out the information, it was like he was staring at a long road of locked doors.

That was when Sylas understood.

'It's like an online course… Whenever I want to practice, I can call it up in my mind and it will take me to this world… no wonder it's so expensive…'

After checking out a ton of items, Sylas found that most things in the Bronze Nexus were two to three thousand coins at most, with the vast majority being a few hundred.

Items that were more expensive than that were only in the top few percentile and not even all that easy to find.

It felt like part of the challenge of using the Nexus was actually finding all the items you wanted first.

Having come to this conclusion, Sylas changed gears. He looked through the rest of what he could find in the Professions, trying to see if he could maybe find something about telekinesis.

He had been entirely self-taught until now, and it would be nice if he could find something about it. But in the end, there was nothing.

'I should have expected this, honestly. It seems that my telekinesis only awakened thanks to Madness, which is an FFF Comprehension. Things related to it are unlikely to appear in a Bronze Nexus…'

Still, Sylas decided to give himself five more minutes of looking, and this time, he found something unexpected.
