Tinder Warlord

'Shua'

Over five hundred spirit souls were displayed. Ariel Sebastian was shocked. Such massive wealth can intoxicate anyone. Half of the wealth will soon be hers. Ariel Sebastian embraced the wealth and chose three hundred spirit souls. She was also compensated with millions of Eden's crystals. Ariel Sebastian's overall wealth skyrocketed. When the whole Eden crystal is added up, the wealth becomes exaggerated for a new Evolver. There was one valour crystal, two million radiant crystals, three million unique crystals, and four million exotic crystals stored in a spirit soul pocket space. The trader was almost sobbing with anguish. This lesson was learned hard. He vowed to turn a new leaf.

Ariel Sebastian was pleased with her gains. She started having thoughts of amassing wealth with such a proven strategy.

"You can seek me out anytime. I will never say no to physical and emotional damages."

'Swoosh'

Ariel Sebastian disappeared into the environment. While the trader and the three evolvers were replaying her last message. Shaking their heads at such a terrifying joke. Only an idiot or daredevils will seek the grim reaper out.

They searched around and made sure the messenger of death was long gone. They rose to their feet and ran wildly. Every man to his device. Praying to all gods not to be followed. Although they won't be followed.

Unknown to the evolvers, Ariel Sebastian has forgotten their existence. She was joyfully returning to the citadel. Ariel Sebastian prefers to hide in her abode as she calculates her gains.

A few minutes went by.

Ariel Sebastian arrived at the gate of the Amazon citadel. With a single thought, she vanished and appeared at her abode. She was getting excited to check up on her gains. But a party popper ruined her expectations. A notification pops up.

[A new energy has been detected.]

[V01D requests to use up the Valour, Radiant, and Unique crystals.]

"What the hell? My hard-earned wealth. For what, V01D? I need a good reason."

[The crystals will hasten the completion of the V01D world within twenty-four hours. Locked features will be unlocked. V01D will upgrade to Level 1. Skipping Level 0. Military assets will be added. R&D will have new features. Ancient tower, Gems Altar, Divine Field - Angel's food {manna}, Fountain of Life, and so on.

Battle mechatronics—defense, attack, troop command, and machines of war controls—will be upgraded. V01D recruitment will be open. Gateway portals will be available for any locations (both Eden and dimensions at large).]

"Em! That's a good deal. A hell of a bargain. Use them up."

"Exotic crystals... In short, all the crystals I gained are within the care of both you and Arvina."

["Hihihi, my baby girl means business. Your crystals will be put to good use.]

[Request noted]

[Hastening upgrade of V01D world with Eden's crystals]

With just these few sentences, Ariel Sebastian watched millions of Eden's crystals vanish.

[The time to upgrade the V01D world is lessened. The upgrade of the V01D world will be completed in 23 hours: 59 minutes: 59 seconds. Please exercise patience.]

Having gone through the notification, Ariel Sebastian resumed browsing through her spirit souls. Three hundred and twenty-nine valuable spirit souls were selected by Ariel Sebastian. There were a total of two hundred exotic spirit souls. It ranged from battle gear, armor, pets, mounts, and accessories of different calibers. Seventy unique spirit souls. Just as your thoughts predicted, it also ranges from battle gear to accessories. A total of fifty radiant spirit souls. Of course, it ranges from battle gear to accessories.

Finally, after sorting and carefully arranging the spirit souls. Ariel Sebastian moved to the Valour Spirit Souls. They were nine Valour spirit souls. She picked up one of the spirit souls. An Eden notification pops up.

[Valour spirit soul gained: Enbarr - Manann's horse (capable of traversing land and sea) gained]

[Genetic memory gained: God Rider (capable of traversing all terrains, places, and many more. As far as you can see, the place. Skills to ride such places will be known to you.) - Hint: An external factor forcefully elevated the skill.]

"Hahaha, this is a jackpot. Whatever external factors, you are doing a great job. Please continue." Ariel Sebastian happily said this to no one.

She picked up another spirit soul. The same Eden's notification, which she can never get irritated with, sounded.

[Valour spirit soul gained: Gold-digging ant gained]

"Huh! What is this gold shiny ant", the puzzled Ariel Sebastian asked no one in particular.

["This is a treasure sweetie. A TREASURE"]

"How is it a treasure?", the skeptical Ariel Sebastian looked at Arvina. Waiting for clarification.

["All fortune is now yours, babe. The crystals, rare materials, herbs... Just name them. The gold Ant will find them all"]

"So, this is a magical version of a modern-day treasure compass"

["Yeah dear"]

"Hahaha, now I understand. This must be the treasure the trader used early on to sniff out my nightmare dagger. It is now mine. Mine, mine."

["You get the gist now. Prepare for treasure hunting across Garden of Eden."]

Ariel Sebastian picked up another spirit soul. The notification rang again.

[Valour spirit soul gained: Kraken whip gained]

This time, there was no genetic memory gained. But the purple whip became the newest interesting toy for Ariel Sebastian. She asked V01D if there was training that required a whip. Her request was granted, and training for whip was devised.

Ariel Sebastian picked up the rest of the spirit souls. They were just battle gear that didn't suit her fighting style. She gave Arvina custody of all the spirit souls. Arvina will decide what to do with the surplus spirit souls. Whether she auctions, sells, or reserves for Ariel Sebastian's future subordinates, this decision is entirely up to Arvina.

Before Ariel Sebastian left Eden, she checked her status and was satisfied. She had so much to tell her friends that she was excited about. She unconsciously thought of the teleport gateway. She wished to return to Federation territories.

...

Ariel Sebastian left her room. She slowly made her way to the Federation portal. The hectic task of walking from the citadel to the gateway portal must be completed. It is a MUST-walk for all of the Amazon citadel's inhabitants. When such parades are completed. Exits back to Federation territories are essentially completed.

Ariel Sebastian appeared at the gateway. She walked through the portal and teleported back to her class.

She slowly opened her eyes because she had not gotten used to the bright light accompanying any teleportation. Ariel Sebastian's eyes met the curious gaze of her beautiful class teacher, Miss April Angela.

"You exit so early, dear. Were you bullied and forced to exit Eden ahead of the planned schedule?" the caring class teacher asked Ariel Sebastian.

"No-no, Miss April... I had a good time. I was teleported to the Amazon citadel. My abode was a lovely place. I successfully hunted an exotic baby Yali beast.", Ariel Sebastian could not get a hold of herself, and she summarized her adventure.

"Whoa! That is a lot of adventure on your first day. You also got lucky to be teleported to one of the best citadels. The spirit Yali beast carcass—do you wish to sell it? I can be your client," Miss April Angela advertised herself.

Meanwhile, a notification rang in Ariel Sebastian's mind as she was having a conversation with her class teacher. Was it a notification? Nope! It is a mission.

[System Alert: FIRST RECRUITMENT

An impressive potential candidate has been met. Successfully recruit the candidate in 2 years.

----

Punishment: Lose a powerful future ally.

Reward: 100, 000 v01d credits.

----]

'Hahaha. This is fabulous. I have been interested in Miss April's strength for a long time. Now, I just have to be shameless to rope her in.'

["Em, should I add a shameless live pack to your training."]

'I know you are shameless. Goddess of shamelessness! Your student pays her respect. Please, teach me,' Ariel Sebastian mentally made a mad respect for Arvina.

["Eh! Was that a compliment? Why do I feel it is an insult... YOU LITTLE RASCAL?!!!"]

"Miss April, I accept your offer. But I have other deals. Is there a quiet place? I got huge business deals. I don't know if you can swallow it up." Ariel Sebastian said this to Miss April Angela.

"Are you looking down on me, silly girl? Whatever business deals you got, I am confident enough to swallow them up." Miss April Angela flicks the head of Ariel Sebastian.

Making a gesture for Ariel Sebastian to follow her to her office, she says, "Come, my office is safe."

As the two ladies were heading to the class teacher's office. The status stat of Miss April Angela appeared in Ariel Sebastian's mind.

[STATUS

Name: April Angela

Age: 22 years

Marital Status: Single

Sex: Female

Evolution: Elite]

[Expand][Compress]

'Whohoo! Jackpot! I know Miss April Angela is a genius. A one-in-a-billion genius. At 22 years old, she has already evolved to the Elite realm.'

["Sweetie, this is a must-catch. You must recruit her before she reaches the Ascender realm. If you fail and she ascends, finding her in the upper dimension will be like finding a needle in a haystack."]

'I know, I know... I will use this business deal to warm my way into her heart.'

'Please select the not-so-valuable spirit souls for the deals.' Ariel Sebastian mentally expressed this to Arvina.
