Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

Chapter 160 Gambler?

Although Matthew and Rowling had once competed for the allocation of space fragments during the Wizard Advancement Trials at the Peak Voice, Matthew and Rowling did not develop any real enmity.

Therefore, he did not harbor much malice towards the other party.

Matthew nodded noncommittally and asked Paul, "What are they doing?"

Upon hearing the question, Rowling breathed a sigh of relief: "They're opening the magic pod."

"Open the magic pod?"

'

Seeing Matthew's puzzled expression, Roland continued to explain, "You've probably heard of Rock Tree Crystal Cores, right?"

Matthew nodded. Although he wasn't very proficient in magic, he had read about it in books.

"The elemental core is extracted from the magic pod."

The magic pod is a thick insulator.

They are born with the ability to isolate mental energy, rendering conventional detection spells completely ineffective.

Therefore, no one knows the purity of the rock tree crystals inside the magic pod.

Therefore, opening a magic pod becomes a high-risk, high-reward gamble.

Perhaps because Matthew killed Angela and Leon, and both of them came from the same of the four major schools, Rowling explained quite enthusiastically.

"I see."

Although Matthew had heard of rock crystal cores, he only knew the uses of this alchemical material.

He had no idea that the rock crystal cores were extracted in this way.

You're really ignorant.

As Matthew listened to Rowling's explanation, he had already walked to the back of the crowd.

His gaze passed over the shoulders of the two apprentices in front of him and fell upon a long table covered with hundreds of unremarkable fruits.

Each of these fruits is about the size of a human head and is dark gray in color.

Its exterior is thick and covered with bumps, like the burl of some kind of demonic tree; it looks like this is the demon pod.

Although spiritual power could not penetrate them, each of these magic pods exuded vitality.

It gives you the feeling that there's something good inside.

Gray stood in front of the table, scanning the magic pods back and forth with his own light.

He hesitated for a moment before pointing to one of the magic pods and saying to the man with the mohawk, "Quinn, I want to open this one."

After saying that, Gray took out three hundred magic stone fragments from his spatial artifact and slammed them onto the table with a "thud".

The man named Quinn smiled and put away the magic stone fragments: "Good, good, good."

"Is this it?"

'

He picked up the magic pod that Gray had pointed to with one hand and a small witchcraft knife on the table with the other.

The onlookers focused their attention on the magic pod that was about to be opened.

"I feel that magic pod is a bit unusual; I estimate it might yield good items."

66

"Tch, you say that to everyone."

"It's open, it's open."

Matthew also witnessed this scene, but he didn't seem to care as much as the others.

Because he already knew the outcome.

【Name: Magic Pod】

[Note: This type of magical pod was artificially and excessively stimulated, resulting in developmental defects.]

Gray clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the magic pod that was being torn apart bit by bit.

At that moment, a golden light emanated from the cracks on the magic pod.

Gray's face lit up with joy: "I've got it!"

'

However, the golden light quickly dimmed in the next second, the magic pod cracked open, and a thumb-sized elemental crystal core fell out.

Its size clearly indicates that this magic pod is underdeveloped, and the crystal core inside is dark brown, indicating that it is of extremely poor quality.

Gray's smile froze: "How could this happen?"

Quinn's face showed regret, and his tone was sympathetic: "What a pity."

"The moment I broke open the magic pod, I almost thought there was something good inside."

"However, although this method is less effective, it is not entirely useless."

66

Everyone took it as a consolation, thinking that only a ghost would want a rock tree crystal core of that quality.

Quinn then asked, "How is it? Do we still need to open the magic pod?"

66

Upon hearing this, Gray's expression turned crazed.

He found these magic pods novel and wanted to open one to play with.

Unexpectedly, the first one I opened yielded a high-quality Rock Tree Crystal Core.

He felt the vibrant magic pod on the table and thought he was sure to make a fortune today.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

Apart from the first one, which yielded a decent quality Rock Tree Crystal Core, the quality of the remaining crystal cores decreased with each subsequent opening.

Gray thus became increasingly entangled, and more and more magic pods opened.

He opened more than thirty magic pods, and even after deducting the good quality elemental crystal core from the beginning, he is still at a loss of more than 10,000 magic stone fragments.

Just as Gray, his eyes red with tears, was about to continue, he touched his storage ring and discovered that he could no longer gather three hundred magic stone fragments.

There are no more magic stone fragments!

66

With red eyes, Gray glanced at the magic pods on the table, then at the storage ring on Quinn's hand, and suddenly a wicked thought arose: "Why don't we overturn this table and take all the magic stone fragments and magic pods!"

But when Gray met Quinn's eyes, which were narrowed to slits, he suddenly woke up.

Although they were not from the same school of thought, they came from the northern region of the Gold Coast and were participating in the same wizard advancement trial.

Therefore, Gray was well aware of Quinn's strength; Quinn was the strongest apprentice in their area.

The idea of ​​flipping the table vanished instantly, and Gray was immediately deflated, so he had no choice but to leave the long table dejectedly.

Quinn sneered inwardly. Luckily, the kid knew what was good for him, otherwise he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"Does anyone else want to open a magic pod?"

66

"The cruise ship should be arriving soon."

"If no one opens the table, I'll put it away."

66

His gaze swept across the crowd again, and he suddenly spotted a new face.

He smiled and said, "Want to open one?"

Following Quinn's words, everyone turned their gazes to Matthew.

Seeing this, Luo Lin advised, "Opening a magic pod is very risky. One wrong move and you can lose everything. That person just now is an example."

66

"Matthew, I advise you not to try it."

However, Matthew didn't seem to care: "Okay, let's open one then."

Quinn's eyes lit up. He had only asked tentatively, but he didn't expect the other party to actually agree.

He acquired these magic pods from a shady merchant.

When Quinn saw the vibrant life on these magic pods, he assumed they must be a good batch.

But unexpectedly, these magic pods were extremely deceptive.

After taking them back and opening several, they all turned out to be extremely poor-quality rock tree crystal cores.

Quinn felt like he'd been tricked and didn't dare risk continuing to drive.

Just as he was about to confront the unscrupulous merchant, the man had already vanished.

So he came up with this idea to shift the losses onto others.

Finally, another fish has taken the bait!

Quinn smiled and said to Matthew, "Three hundred magic stones for one opening."

"No matter what the quality is like after it's opened, there's no going back!"

Which one do you want to drive?
