God's Eyes

Looking inside the parcel Jason began to smile.

There were a few long ropes, some yellow potion, a syringe with some green liquid inside, an

miniature cage with a red button on it, a few dozen arrows,an ungraded bow and a weird looking quiver.

Taking out the bow he tried to pull the string.

It was difficult but Jason would be able to pull the string back a few times in a row.

The bow wasn't made by a craftsman master rather an apprentice but it was still fine as long as it did its job and when he purchased the bow it was certified as an ungraded bow able to penetrate three-star wild beast defenses and its price range was 8.000 credits which was fine.

This was more than enough for his plan and looking at the other materials like the ungraded ropes, enlarging miniature cage and the yellow ungraded paralysis potion followed by the green syringe, Jason thought that he was extremely smart.

While the potions were already expensive, the most expensive was the enlarging miniature cage with an equal price to the bow he bought.

The arrows in the parcel were simply made and nothing special so Jason stored them away immediately.

Looking at the other items for some time he stored them away and decided to go to the archery centrum in the city with a shuttle.

Using 10 out of his remaining 12 Credits he entered his shooting range where he could train his archery skills for 2 hours.

It was early in the morning and nobody trained one's archery skill at 2 am which was also the cause for the cheap renting price.

Taking out his bow and arrows Jason had to get a feeling for his bow.

The target was 20 meters away and it shouldn't be a problem for him to hit it.

Or so he thought…

Jason took more than four shots to hit the target for his first time even if it were the outer circles but after that he began to get a feeling for the distance and the amount he had to pull back.

After every five to ten shoots Jason had to stop for a moment to regain some stamina as it was harder to pull the string back each time.

2 hours passed without notice and Jason was notified to leave the shooting range.

It was 4:30 am and Jason wanted to leave for the plains wild zone when he noticed that he couldn't even afford a shuttle right now.

Thinking about a solution Jason thought about the beast corpses he had and he decided to go to the merchant shops which were only a short walk away from the archery centrum.

Walking for 30 minutes, Jason saw a big, luxurious looking skyscraper with a golden koi as a sign.

It was the 'Golden Koi' Shop which mainly purchased beast carcasses to sell certain parts to butchers, artisans,restaurants, craftsmen and so on.

Entering the building through the large automatic front doors Jason was in a huge hall made out of marble and other exquisite materials.

The hall was at least ten meters high and a few hundred square meters in size while four big pillars were situated in a square around the elevator which stood in the middle.

Between each pillar was a reception and a large, weird-looking machine with a big holographic screen in front of it.

Two options could be seen on the holographic screen, one labeled with `Sell` and another one with the label `Purchase`.

Standing in front of the machine, Jason only knew roughly what to do as he had never done something like that before.

Clicking on the sell option another few options appeared with the different ranks of beasts, from wild beast to evolved beast.

Everyday a few thousand beasts carcasses would be sold at the golden koi shop and they invented this weird looking machine for the hunter without much time.

Operated by an AI the price for common beasts was integrated into the data and on rare beasts at the evolved stage could be more expensive than the registered price from the company.

Jason clicked on wild beasts and a message appeared on the beast dealer he called it himself.

It had a different name but Jason didn't like High technology BetraMa(Beast trading Machine) V.3.7.

Inserting the beast carcasses in small groups of five into the big mouth of the machine, they landed on a small table where they were scanned by the AI.

The Holographic screen calculated the credits for each beast and it took around 10 minutes until Jason had inserted every beast carcass

Because it was only 5am the whole hall was empty without any workers as the usual working hours began at 7am and Jason had enough time so he didn't feel pressured by the crowds of humans which were normally inside this main hall.

Jason was still relatively uncomfortable with huge crowds of people but he became better with small groups thanks to Greg and Malia.

He was comfortable with them and Greg was also the one who told Jason that he could enter some shops before the regular opening hours to sell his carcasses.

Looking at the list of beasts he noticed that there were more beasts carcasses than he thought.

153x ★★ Wild beasts corpse→ 3 Credits/carcass

67x ★★★ Wild beasts corpse→ 7 Credits/carcass

24x ★★★★ Wild beasts corpse→ 14 Credits/carcass

4x ★★★★★ Wild beasts corpse→ 21 Credits/carcass

1x ★★★★★ (Wind)Elemental mutated black horned bull corpse→ 100 Credits

Putting his arm with the quantum bracelet inside the opening port on the holographic screen appeared a message again.

[Transaction of 1448 Credits can be done immediately.

Execute transaction? `Yes/No`]

Jason was astonished but clicked yes and he got a notification on his bracelet that the transaction was done.

He had never thought that he had hunted so many beasts but thinking about it, he hunted inside the plains wild zone for over three weeks around 12 hours a day.

Thinking about his loot he took a look at his spatial storage and how many Beast cores he had left.

There were no two and three-star cores, only a few four-star cores left behind while even the five star cores were used up.

Pondering if he should already purchase Beast cores, Jason decided to wait until the evening after looking if his plan worked or not.

Calling a shuttle with his new fortune Jason was in front of the plains wild zone less than an hour later.

Looking at his messenger he hoped that Greg or Malia messaged him about their parents' homecoming but there was nothing.

Jason hoped that their parents would be home soon as he had to partly rely on them to execute his plan without exposing his secret but it didn't matter at the moment.

Entering the plains wild zone with the first sunlight he was expectant.

With a bow in one hand and the quiver with the dagger secured at his belt while the dagger was inside a ugly looking scabbard, Jason strolled around the wild zone.

The quiver was filled with his arrows and they were coated with the paralysis potion.

This paralysing potion wasn't strong but effective against weak wild beasts and Jason bought it exactly for this reason.

Hours passed and Jason hasn´t hunted a single beast until he sighted something in the afternoon.

A grin appeared on Jason´s face

`Found you`
