Misty World: Start with SSS skill

Two days later, Hikaru finally arrived at the Pharmacist Tower.

It only took a day to actually reach the Pharmacist Tower, but during the trip, Selvih and Anno said they wanted to show Hikaru a bit of the scenery that they found beautiful.

However, after visiting places that Selvih and Anno consider "beautiful," Hikaru was thoroughly disappointed.

All he saw were just lakes and remnants of a certain race or kingdom.

Compared to Selvih's cave, it was like heaven and earth. However, thanks to that, Hikaru also knew that the people of this world were pitiful and that they had never seen the true beauty of nature.

However, Hikaru had it the worst, as he had not slept well in the past two days. Selvih would sleep on one side of him and Anno on the other.

Hikaru, who was in between the two of them, had to restrain himself so much that he started to doubt his gender. Now that he had reached the pharmacist tower, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

In the carriage, Selvih suddenly took out a card and gave it to Hikaru.

The card was about the same size as a bank card, and it was made of some unknown material that Hikaru didn't know about. It was as transparent as glass, and there were yellow patterns around the edges, and on top of it was a display of Hikaru's information like an electronic board.

"It's a personal identification card." Selvih said. "You just need to put a drop of blood inside to be able to use it. You need that card to enter or exit any castle in the world."

When Hikaru heard this, he did not respond. Selvih saw Hikaru frown, and she explained: "Don't worry. All the information on the card is confidential. Even if someone else steals your ID card, they won't be able to see the information inside."

Hikaru nodded at that; however, he didn't drip blood on the card but used another method.

A notice board from the system appeared in front of him.

[Ding! You have received an ID card; do you want to sync the information?

"Yes!"

[Ding! Synchronization is successful.]

Above the card, some basic information appeared, such as the following: name, level, stats, etc. In addition, the card also had an information item that showed the number of soul points contained in the card, and there were 2 billion soul points in the card.

Seeing this number, Hikaru thought he was mistaken. Suddenly, Selvih sat next to him, and the enticing scent once again hit his nose. Selvih's soft body, which was almost touching him, startled him.

Although over the past two days Selvih and Anno had many "intimate" acts with Hikaru, Hikaru was still not used to it.

Selvih smiled, a little amused at the shy Hikaru. She said: "Inside are 2 billion soul points; you can use them as you wish."

"This…" Hikaru took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said: "I didn't do anything; I can't receive this soul point."

Like the players, the people of this world used soul points as the currency for transactions.

Naturally, soul points were only available to those who were able to use mana to trade. while ordinary people used gold coins to trade.

However, at the Pharmacist Tower, Hikaru was seriously lacking in soul points, not only for leveling up and evolving skills but also for many other purposes.

Although using the Maximum Evolution skill had a higher effect on him than the normal leveling method, the resources needed to level up or evolve were also enormous.

Therefore, no matter how many resources Hikaru had, it was not enough.

The wagon stopped in front of a wall more than ten meters high made of an unknown material. However, Hikaru felt that the bricks that made up that wall were not ordinary bricks.

A lot of misty lamps were hung to dispel the fog. However, those Misty Lamps were a bit special; they were not like the Misty Lamp or the Misty Compass. Its illumination range was also not higher than that of the Misty Compass.

Suddenly, a man in a black robe approached the car. Selvih, Anno, and Hikaru got off the bus. What surprised Hikaru a bit was that Selvih didn't use magic to create a layer of mist around her and cover her face.

However, Hikaru thought again—maybe this was the arrangement of the world's will. If the main character does not see Selvih's beautiful face, how will he notice her?

Following the man's instructions, he went to an altar. The circular altar had an area of about 100 square meters. And there was a pillar. It was about five meters high, and it emitted a purple aura.

On those pillars were strange characters; however, Hikaru had seen those characters before. Yes, those were the characters that Darnag used to fortify the walls of his domain.

Following the instructions of the man in the black robe, Hikaru, Anno, and Selvih stepped onto the altar and stood in the middle. Seeing that Hikaru was a little confused, Anno explained: "This is a teleportation magic circle. The city wall has covered the entire Pharmacist Tower; there is no other entrance other than the teleportation gate."

"This is the best way to prevent unauthorized people from entering the pharmacy tower." Anyone who wants to go inside needs an invitation.

Hikaru nodded and asked, "So what about those who want to take the pharmacist or nervous exam?" "Do they need an invitation card?"

Anno shook her head: "No need. Because they are contestants, they only need to present their ID cards."

"ID card? Is that the card the Queen just gave me?" Hikaru asked.

Anno nodded: "That's right. After the gatekeeper checks the contestant's identity, he or she will be teleported to another place to confirm the identity again. Finally, if there are no other problems, they can enter the pharmacy tower. "We have invitations, so my mother can bring anyone she wants."

After everyone stood up to the altar, the four pillars immediately shone. As soon as they saw that light, they disappeared and appeared in a very luxurious room.

This room was extremely large, and it had four bedrooms and a living room. Hikaru estimated this room to be about 100 square meters, and every item and piece of furniture in the room was also arranged in a very delicate way.

However, what attracted Hikaru the most was the balcony. While Anno and Selvih were talking to each other, he went to the balcony and looked outside.

His eyes were met with a scene that probably only appeared in a fantasy anime or the Harry Potter movies that he had ever seen.

Outside the balcony, countless towers were floating, and they were connected by countless stairs. The stairs were all over 4 meters wide, so even if there were many people walking on them, it would not feel cramped.

In the middle of the towers, all the surrounding stairs connected to a path created by floating rocks. That path was more than 20 meters wide, and at the end of the path was a giant tower.

"That is the Pharmacist Tower Main Building."

Selvih's voice came from behind Hikaru, as she explained: "This place is the room for those with invitations." Anyone who stands in this place can see the whole view inside the pharmacy tower. On the far side is the main building of the Pharmacist Tower, which is also where the two competitions I talked about will take place.

Hikaru nodded. He felt a little tired in his heart. If he hadn't known about the appearance of the main character in this place, Hikaru would probably have toured around and tried to participate in the other two competitions.

Selvih continued: "I need to meet a few people; I will leave Anno to you. In this place, you cannot use violence and also don't peek into other people's information, so be careful."

Hikaru silently nodded and remembered what Selvih had told him.

Seeing Anno immediately approach Hikaru and embrace his hand, Selvih felt a little uneasy. But that feeling was like a gust of wind, which immediately disappeared.

Selvih shook her head, sighed, and then disappeared.

…

Outside, Anno and Hikaru walked around; Anno also guided him around the pharmacy tower.

Hikaru knew that this place was called the Pharmacist Tower for many reasons.

First, the floating towers on either side of the street were the homes of pharmacist enchanters, or, to be more precise, their stores.

The products of the pharmacist enchanter were sold inside. However, not only were there products from pharmacist enchanters, but there were also other stores that sold products from many other types of enchanters.

As Hikaru understood, this place was like a giant magic supermarket.

Although it was extremely difficult for one person to enter this place, that does not make this place less crowded. On the contrary, the number of people in this place was extremely large. Hikaru also saw all kinds of races walking on the same road.

Hikaru had seen on the world chat channel that there were many players who met the locals and tried to contact them. But those players all ended up being attacked and killed by the natives.

There were a few people who were still alive and had reported this incident on the world chat channel, and because of that, the players all made the judgment that the natives of this world were their enemies.

Hikaru thought that perhaps there were players who had successfully made contact with the natives; however, perhaps they saw the potential of this so they kept quiet.

Hikaru shook his head and decided not to think about these things anymore. Then he and Anno entered a monster card shop together.

The inside was arranged quite similarly to the phone shops on Earth. There were glass cabinets throughout the store, inside of which were monster cards or item cards.

Seeing this scene, Hikaru immediately rejoiced. He didn't even know how to get more monster cards, and anyway, the Hell Lotus was like a factory now, which required energy to work.

Now, seeing that this place sold so many monster cards, not only could he buy the monster cards as a source of energy for the Hell Lotus, but he could also pick out monsters with high potential to use.

[Master, there is a monster card with high potential. It's on the left side, second row.]
