I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



Hye's body slightly trembled, looking at the one white crystal in his hand before adding in immense shock, "this is just a white grade crystal, and its effects are one hundred times more than normal ones… Damn! I need to hurry then!"

He didn't even check other crystals, as he was sure they'd give them much scarier results. He instantly took a large number of Holy Ones bones and started to let the Heart Crystal devour them.

The number of trees inside were in the tens of millions now. This was much more than the initial number of trees he planted at his first attempt. He feared that the already grown trees wouldn't get affected, but they absorbed the white mist madly, ending up raising the levels of their crystals and growing themselves a bit in size and height.

He didn't stop this time, kept adding more high end bones to the heart he held in his hands. The amount of power it absorbed was scary, devouring tens of thousands of bones by the end.

At some point, the heart in his hand stopped devouring any more. And Hye knew why. The trees inside grew by three folds in height, five folds in the size of their crowns. As for the number of crystals, he couldn't tell how much they increased, but was sure they increased by twenty folds at least, if not more.

The grade of all crystal puddings was now dark gold, showing a weird black lustre to them. He knew there were levels and colours beyond the dark gold one, but it seemed this was the limit of this heart.

"At least I'll gain a lot, hahahaha!" he laughed while taking higher grade crystals and started eating them.

[... You gained one thousand stat points…]

[... You gained thirty thousand stat points…]

[... You gained one hundred thousand stat points…]

He kept devouring his crystals, starting from green, then blue, silver, pale gold, and lastly the rare dark gold ones. Previously when he nourished the trees, he didn't overdo it, stopping midway. And now he was regretting this.

The dark gold one gave him one million stat points in one go! This was insane! Yet when he used his acquired stat points, he was frustrated by the crazy increase in the needed stats for higher levels.

"I'm now at level sixty-five…" he checked his interface, feeling like a merchant who got cheated on his most precious deal, "they told me I'll just need the same amount needed at the time of the apocalypse. But this… This is much more than what I consumed back then! And I'm halfway through!"

He was enraged by this. Yet when he thought about such a result, he knew other forces would also struggle to make a formidable force according to such rules.

He now knew why the higher forces were madly fighting over crystal mines. It was like a bottomless pit. After filling one's level, he'd have to start over, needing the same scary number of crystals to rise up!

Getting to level two or three? He realised how far-fetched and seemingly a long-term dream this was!

As this was a hurdle and a grand obstacle over everyone, he knew the old and mighty races and empires got better chances in solving and dealing with this.

"I got this treasure trove, and I plan to madly invest in it," he knew he wasn't like those tyrants, but he got his bones to support him. With his bones, he could turn this Crystal Heart into an endless mine that would bring him great results.

Just seeing such a grand harvest he'd have in one month or even slightly more made his heart palpitate. They were all dark gold crystals, higher grade than this even thanks to the weird black lustre they got. Not to mention they were surrounded by thick veins, almost covering the entire crystals up.

He knew he'd gain more than one million stat points from consuming these crystals. And to make sure how much stat points he needed to raise his warriors' level to reach level one, the estimated standard level of power of forces in the universe in his opinion, he started to consume crystals like crazy.

"Fifty million stat points to rise up to level one…" he felt the same weird feeling when he first entered the universe's lowest level of power, zero level in his eyes, "that means… I'll need fifty dark gold crystals, five hundred pale gold ones… That's not bad…"

He knew he couldn't make his warriors reach such a level by the current crystals he got. But in a few months, he will!

He didn't waste his crystals anymore, planted all in that heart. As he did so, he noticed that the trees growing from higher grade crystals were much bigger and had thicker crowns than other trees. Without even supporting these trees with his bones, they grew up fast, and reached the same level of growth as other trees he planted before.

When he supported the heart with his bones, the overall consumption rate skyrocketed. At the same time, the trees that grew from higher grade crystals started to make others look like dwarfs!

"I shall be patient, invest in these trees for the time being," he muttered to himself when he saw such a result. The new trees were indeed amazing, and he was sure the number of crystals harvested from them would be at least twenty folds the usual harvest from the normal trees.

As for the number of bones consumed, the amount needed to let these trees grow to the fullest and produce the small sized fruits of theirs took tons of them.

Hye pushed all trees to produce the highest crystals they could bring. The higher-grade trees seemed to have much power than other smaller trees, as their highest crystal fruits were much bigger in size, with more black appearing than golden colour.

He knew this would yield higher grade crystals. Yet the number of bones he spent made him realise this was going to be a bottomless pit.
