Chapter 21: Acquiring Pills
According to the current situation that the city was facing, it was impossible for Samuel to be able to go out of the city. After all, if somebody saw him leaving the city at the moment, they would think that he was trying to abandon the city.
Of course, that was something that was going to lead to the city Lord taking action against him. Even though Samuel did not fear the city Lord at this moment, but he did not want any unnecessary conflicts.
As for explaining himself, that was not something that he was planning to do, at least for the time being. In any case, first of all, if he showed his strength at this moment, many people would definitely be surprised.
He had awakened not long ago, but he had already become a three star beast tamer? That was something that had never been recorded in the entire history of the human race.
Of course, it was inevitable that he was going to expose his strength during the time that the monster tide was going to attack. But that was going to be a different situation.
If he really did something like exposing his current strength at this point, it was inevitable that many people would think that he held a treasure with him. They might think that that treasure was what William had within his residence several days ago.
Well, it was true that the pill that he had been given by William was the reason why he had been able to reach such a power level in a very short period of time, but it was not going to be possible without the golden light that was within his body.
In fact, with that huge amount of energy from the pill, if he really consumed it directly, he might have ended up dying on the spot by exploding.
Regardless, Samuel believed that during the time that the monster tide was attacking, and the situation was tricky, he would finally be able to freely display his strength. At that time, nobody would actually pay much attention to how he had managed to reach his level.
It was just that after gaining the information about the current situation of the monster tide, Samuel understood one thing. It was the fact that considering that there were 23 three-star monsters, there was definitely one above them that was commanding them.
Monsters were usually territorial, in such a way that it was impossible for two or more two star rank monsters to be in the same area, unless there was another higher-ranking monster that was commanding them.
It was quite normal to experience a situation where a monster tide had several three star rank monsters, but that was always something quite rare. At most, there would only be two or three, three star monsters attacking the city.
But this time, the number had multiplied tremendously, indicating that this situation was definitely unusual. And, again, it was not just a single city that was being attacked, but several cities within the surrounding areas were going to be facing a siege of the monsters.
Regardless of what was going on, Samuel understood that he had to make enough preparations to face the monster tide. It was just that with the current financial situation, it was obviously impossible for him to be able to make the preparations that he wanted.
The only preparations that he could make were of course trying to increase his strength as much as possible. But that was something that was impossible for a very short period of time, unless he consumed things that contained a lot of energy.
Samuel had not considered asking William for anything more, considering that if he really did that, he might end up leading William into bankruptcy. William himself was not that rich, and the only reason why he had been able to reach the two star rank was simply because of what he had acquired on a trip out there.
If not for that, he would have just been like the other ordinary beast tamers within the city, who were still one star beast tamers even though they had already awakened several years ago.
But after thinking for quite a long time, Samuel could not help it. He thought, if he really got stronger, he would be able to harvest many monster cores during the tide. And at that time, he would be able to repay whatever William had spent, and they would even make a profit out of it.
So, he immediately went to look for William, who had been slightly stressed recently. After all, he had been planning of a metal that he was going to use in order to get the children out of the city during the monster tide, but he just could not find the solution.
Even if they really escaped the city, where were they supposed to go? Any nearby city was currently being besieged by a monster tide in the next few days. And according to the information that had already spread, it was clear that the monster tide this time was definitely way above ordinary.
In simple terms, it seemed that the monsters were capable of knowing the power of a city. And for that, the monsters that were going to attack each city exceeded the power of the city that they would be attacking.
And this time, after hearing what Samuel said, William could not help but be stunned once again.
For the beast tamers, it was impossible for them to be able to tell the level of another person, unless they were several levels above that person, or that person actively released their aura.
For that reason, ever since the day that Samuel had awakened, William had never been able to tell the exact level that Samuel was in. For the other kids, he could obviously tell that they were just at the mid stage one star level, but for Samuel, he could not tell at all.
"Sigh! I guess there is no reason for me to keep all the wealth that I have with me. Even though I have only been a beast tamer for a few years, I have managed to accumulate quite some wealth." William said with a sigh.
At this moment, he was thinking, there was no reason for him to continue keeping whatever he had, at least what he could not carry around with him. After all, the moment that the city was invaded by the monster tide, everything that he owned would be destroyed.
And considering that it seemed that Samuel wanted to use that money in order to increase his strength, it was better, rather than just leaving everything there to be wasted.
Just like the others, William did not believe that there was any possibility that the city was going to survive the monster tide. After all, how were they supposed to handle 23 three star rank monsters?
Even though Samuel knew that William had misunderstood him, he did not correct him. After all, his intention was already achieved, and William had immediately decided to take action.
During that day, William went around, trying to see if there was anyone who was willing to buy the properties that he owned, other than the one that the children and himself were currently staying at.
But it seemed that since the information about the monster tide approaching had already spread, not many people were willing to purchase any property at this point. After all, it was better for them to keep the money that they had, rather than spending it on something that was going to be ruined in the next few days.
As for those that were willing to make purchases, they offered prices way below the market price of the property that William wanted to sell. But left with no other choice, William decided to do it anyway. After all, it was better for him to get something small, rather than getting nothing at all.
He did not just sell the property that he held, but even other assets that he had outside. It was clear that a beast tamer was quite rich, as long as they could sell the monster cores.
After selling several things, all the money that he possessed was used in purchasing several pills. He visited one store after the other, purchasing all the pills that he could find.
It was Impossible for him to be able to acquire so many healing pills, considering that the other beast tamers had also taken action, to acquire those pills. They would be very useful during the monster tide.
Regardless, William did not care. After all, Samuel had informed him that any type of pill, as long as it was not poison, it was going to be useful. Even though he himself was doubtful if Samuel could actually use all these pills in just a short time, he decided to get them anyway.
He was thinking, he had to make sure that Samuel and the other children left the city. And if they left, those pills would definitely help them to develop.
The moment that Samuel acquired the pills, he could not help but feel a little exhilarated. He was not sure if those pills could help him to reach the four star rank, but still, it was good enough, capable of enabling him to be able to reach the peak of the three star rank.
Having acquired what he needed, Samuel immediately decided to take action at that moment. He locked himself into the room, and began consuming the pills crazily.
