Free Web NovelChapter 58: Discount
"Take good care of him. Find out what he needs, fulfill his requests as quickly as possible, and don’t keep him waiting."
After introducing Rios properly, Old Anz turned to him.
"Young sir, Miss Sally will take care of all your needs, so you can rest assured. She’s one of our finest employees."
After reassuring Rios, Old Anz turned to Sally.
"Give the young sir a fifty percent discount on everything he purchases. It will come out of my personal account. I’ll speak to the president myself, so don’t worry."
He spoke to Sally in a serious tone before turning back to Rios once more.
"You may shop without worry now, young sir. Consider this small discount a humble gift from us to celebrate our first transaction."
"I’ll gladly accept your humble gift... Lord Anz."
Rios nodded happily and accepted the offer without hesitation.
He wasn’t the type of person to turn down such a gift so easily.
"Then I must excuse myself, young sir. I can no longer accompany you, as I have matters of my own that require my attention."
"Please don’t concern yourself with me, Lord Anz. It has been a pleasure doing business with a good man like you."
Rios nodded politely.
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr....?"
Old Anz extended his hand toward Rios.
"Ozir."
Rios shook his hand, looked him in the eyes with a confident smile, and said,
"You can call me Ozir."
When Old Anz heard Rios’s name, his eyes lit up and he smiled warmly.
"Then thank you for choosing to do business with us, Mr. Ozir."
After finishing the conversation, Old Anz left to attend to his own affairs, leaving Rios alone with Sally.
"Since you’ve been so generous and given me such a huge discount, it would be a crime not to make full use of it."
Rios sat down before Sally’s desk and thought to himself.
"Welcome, Lord Ozir. How may I assist you?"
Sally smiled gently and confidently. There wasn’t the slightest trace of nervousness on her face, unlike the expressions most people wore when facing an important figure.
"Actually, I came looking for Law Comprehension Skills. My Golden Assistant recommended your organization, so I decided to come here."
Rios observed Sally’s calm expression and gave her an initial evaluation. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
It seems that Anz wasn’t exaggerating about this girl.
"Ooh... It’s truly an honor to be recommended by a Golden Assistant."
Sally gasped softly, her eyes widening slightly as she covered her mouth, before smiling again.
"Please tell me what you’re looking for, Lord Ozir. Which law do you need a comprehension skill for? I’ll do everything I can to satisfy your request."
"I’m looking for comprehension skills related to the Laws of Life, Derivation, Stars, Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Wind, Wood, and Lightning."
Rios smiled as he listed the laws he wanted.
Originally, he only intended to buy skills for the Laws of Life and Derivation for himself, as well as one for the Law of Stars for his wife, Elena.
But now that he had received such an excellent discount, he also wanted to purchase skills related to the Elves’ natural laws to make them stronger.
Even if they couldn’t break through to Wis (4), simply comprehending laws would make them several times stronger than ordinary third-level cultivators.
After hearing the long list of laws, Sally narrowed her eyes thoughtfully for a moment before tapping the desk.
The instant she did, a red screen filled with strange symbols and data appeared before her.
About a minute later, she finished browsing through it and looked at Rios.
"Lord Ozir, we have many Basic-grade Law Comprehension manuals for the elemental laws—Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Wind, Wood, and Lightning—from Wis (4) up to Wis (6)."
"I’ll display them for you right away. You may choose whichever ones you like."
Sally tapped the red screen once more before waving toward Rios.
Several icons, resembling the message icons of modern applications, floated over and stopped before him.
Rios tapped one of them, causing another red screen filled with numerous files to appear.
However, instead of browsing through them himself like anyone else would have done, he turned toward Lily.
"Lily, can you identify the flaws, rank these skills, and choose the most suitable ones?"
"Of course, Sir. If you trust me, I can classify all of these skills within a few seconds and select the most suitable ones according to your requirements."
Lily patted her chest with her usual confidence.
"Good. Then leave it to you. Prioritize skills that are free of flaws, comprehensive, and quick to cultivate... especially the quick ones."
Rios gave his instructions and entrusted the entire task to Lily.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to choose.
He simply wasn’t qualified to.
Rios was completely ignorant when it came to laws, and he had no intention of gambling his future on something as delicate and dangerous as choosing Law Comprehension Skills.
Especially since making a mistake while cultivating this type of skill could, at best, lead to flawed comprehension, resulting in an unstable foundation and the destruction of one’s future.
At worst...
It could cause one’s energy to deviate, resulting in an internal explosion—and death.
Fortunately, he could rely on one of the most advanced AIs in the universe—Lily—to analyze this entire collection of skills and select the most suitable ones for him.
After hearing Rios’s approval, Lily stood up straight, placed one hand on her waist and the other in a military salute, then bounced excitedly several times in the air.
"Aye aye, Captain!"
She then gently landed on Rios’s shoulder, and the red screen before him disappeared.
When Sally witnessed the scene, she couldn’t help feeling deeply envious.
I really wish I had an assistant like her.
After entrusting that task to Lily, Rios turned back toward Sally.
"Now then... what about the other three laws?"
Upon hearing Rios’s voice, Sally immediately regained her focus, and her expression quickly returned to its usual calm.
If this had been the real world, Rios would have seen Sally’s face turn crimson with embarrassment.
"As for the three Cosmic Laws..."
