Chapter 122 Cheap Change For A God Like Me
Mulling over the information he had received, Ryan concluded, 'Once I take over the Kheaweth Empire, I might be able to take over the Dawn Pavilion. If that were the case, I would truly have the resources to conquer Ravier.'
The thought of him being the ruler of a planet gave Ryan orgasmic pleasure, making him shudder in delight.
But he still had to do it and at least finish conquering the human empire within the first ten years.
'Stupid me and my loud mouth,' Ryan thought, thinking about his oath.
Ryan decided his next goal should be to gain strength and research the Dawn Pavilion. 'What better way than to check out the BCN?'
Concluding his thoughts, Ryan decided to fill in Velmuuth on everything that had happened since they parted ways.
"You mean that you somehow ended up on a portal world with a testing sight for an inheritance?" Velmuuth asked, shocked.
"That isn't even the most frightening part. I also got a clan of cat people who agreed to become my servants. Oh, that reminds me, say this oath."
[Velmuuth Knight]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Bonus: A Knights Honor]
Ryan had been shocked by a few loyalty levels, but he felt this one made sense. 'Velmuuth takes her word very seriously. If she didn't want to serve me, she wouldn't have sworn an oath.'
"Like I told my other servants, knights, and harem members. Anyone with a loyalty level of 100 or higher can be promoted when I receive other ranks in my specialty. Also, anyone with a loyalty level of 125 or higher can take Emerald as their last name, receiving the prestige it will one day bring," Ryan said, sharing the [Loyalty: 100] prompt with Velmuuth.
"Wow, this is an exceedingly rare ability!" Velmuuth exclaimed. "I've only heard of three people possessing such abilities, and they were all killed for fear of them becoming too strong."
"Is it that good?" Ryan asked, scratching his head. 'This isn't even in my top 5.'
Velmuuth nodded emphatically. "Yes! According to our ranking system, this is classified as an S-Rank ability."
"Abilities have ranks?"
"Yes and no," Velmuuth said. "They don't have official ranks but unofficial ones, at least on Ravier."
"What is the highest rank for abilities on Ravier?"
"It's the same as cultivation, SSS-Rank, but no one has achieved either in cultivation or in an official or unifacial ability/specialty rank."
"Good to know," Ryan said, mentally shouting, 'Who's the best? Ryan! Who's the coolest? Ryan! Who has the only SSS-Rank ability? You do!'
Coughing Ryan broke out of his self-reverie once he started coughing from holding back laughter. He had just realized that he was still a nobody and hadn't even taken the first step to dominating the human empire, let alone the Multiverse. 'Just you wait; I'll show everyone who they're messing with.'
"Are you alright, my Lord?" Velmuuth asked in concern.
'Hm, yes, I'm fine. But, say Velmuuth, I'll take a trip to the Dawn Pavilion shortly, but you can relax and train inside my palace. Oh, you haven't been inside. Let me show you," Ryan said, ignoring her question, eager to get off the topic.
===
After spending an hour showing Velmuuth the training tower, which she reacted to like a kid in a candy store, Ryan decided he needed to buy something to disguise his appearance and aura before going to the Dawn Pavilion.
'I'm glad classes were canceled since most of the enhancers died in the portal realm, so I don't have to wait to go to the Dawn Pavilion and can spend a good amount of time training in the BCN and tower,' Ryan thought.
Ryan desperately needed to get stronger before the wedding since he still didn't know if he was helpful to the human empire or would be killed directly after the wedding.
'As long as I can't go against an empire alone, I need to train every spare second.'
He also had to somehow orchestrate the downfall of what Ryan slowly realized was the most powerful empire on Ravier, all within ten years.
Heading to the campus store, Ryan meandered through the isles, frowning. 'None of these do jackshit!'
Finally, Ryan asked an attendant, "Do you have anything better?"
"What do you mean by better, sir?" the young woman asked in confusion.
"Better than this shit! These cloaks don't even hide aura's from an F-Rank!"
"Why would you need to hide an aura, sir?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Blinking, Ryan remembered that he was a man on a planet that didn't have female cultivators. 'Being around those cat servant warriors made me lose focus,' Ryan thought, shaking his head.
"It's for a friend, miss," Ryan said, putting on a fake smile.
"Oh, of course, Sir, apologies," the attendant replied, bowing deeply. "Please come to the back for our exclusive collection. However, they are all bought in Heavenly Credits... I don't know if-" the attendant drawled, looking at Ryan with a raised brow.
"Yes, that's fine," Ryan said, nodding. 'Not like I have that many campus credits anyway.'
Venturing into the back of the store, Ryan saw an extravagant selection of clothes, including several black cloaks and hoods.
The quality looked impressive too, and the craftsmanship seemed exceptionally well done.
"These are some of the best items we offer, sir."
"Thank you," Ryan said, picking out three different cloaks in various sizes, one pair of gloves, four pairs of shoes, a bag, and a weapon belt to go over it all.
'Might as well stock up while I'm here,' Ryan thought, seeing these cloaks could hide auras from anyone A-Rank or below.'
"Sir, those are our most expensive items. I'm not sure you can afford those," the attendant commented. "Oh, but there is this cloak which is more affordable."
Ryan frowned, noticing that the attendant had brought him the least expensive item.
"You know what? I'll take two more cloaks," Ryan said, watching the attendant's face twitch.
"Okay, sir," the woman said, smiling smugly. "That will be a total of 1.25 Heavenly Credits."
"I'm sorry, how much?" Ryan asked, thinking he had heard wrong.
"I knew it. You're just a poser. A loser who pretends to have money but nothing to back it up," she spat.
"1.25, is it? Here take your money and be gone, filthy beast!" Ryan said, accepting the prompt he had gotten when he touched the clothes.
Hearing the *Ding* of a successful purchase, the woman's face went white, and she stuttered, "H-How?!"
Exiting the store, Ryan didn't bother turning around, saying, "Cheap change for a god like me."
Dawning the cloak, Ryan also purchases a new flying sword, although not one that is all that flashy since he wants to avoid standing out. 'I want to... fly under the radar,' Ryan chuckled.
Heading to the administration building, Ryan applied for a two-week leave from campus. The people there were skeptical but couldn't refuse him since all leaves were allowed for enhancers while classes were canceled.
Stepping out of the campus grounds, Ryan paused and used his bloodline to check for any people following him.
Sensing no one, Ryan began his journey toward the Dawn Pavilion and the BCN.
