My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960: Chapter 958 Prove Myself

Now that 008 had picked up on Kisha’s determination to buy the blueprint at any cost, it felt a surge of energy. After all, a cut in sales meant points would be added to its ranking, and the more it sold, the higher its score climbed. Thrilled by the prospect, it immediately set to work hunting down the blueprint. Both Kisha and 008 were buzzing with excitement.

"Don’t worry, Host! I’ll find that blueprint!" 008 declared, invigorated and redoubling its efforts to locate the elusive Lightbrain blueprint. Before long, it succeeded.

"Host... it seems... since this comes from a higher civilization, a higher realm, the price isn’t exactly cheap..." 008 said, hesitating slightly.

"How much is the blueprint?" Kisha asked, a flicker of nervousness creeping into her voice. Earlier, she had sounded confident, but that was before she considered the reality: many things from beyond Earth were bound to be costly, and if it came from a higher realm, the price could be astronomical.

How expensive could it really be? She didn’t know. Her billions of points might not even be enough. After all, in the lower realm, things could be affordable, but that also made her like a frog in a well, unable to fully grasp what the higher realm offered or how it operated.

"Host... just the blueprint alone... it costs 500,000,000 system points..." 008’s voice dropped to a meek whisper. Even with billions of points at their disposal, who could predict the cost of other items from the higher realm?

One or two purchases like this, and their points could vanish in an instant. After spending so much time without system points, 008 felt the same fear as Kisha, the dread of being flat broke all over again. While buying it would boost its ranking and score, the joy might be fleeting, a brief happiness before hardship inevitably returned.

"But Host, look on the brighter side," 008 said, eager to justify the purchase. "Not all items from the higher realm are this expensive. The reason the Lightbrain blueprint costs so much is because it’s the newest model of its kind, one of humanity’s greatest and most useful creations."

"On top of that, it’s a closely guarded secret of the Federation of the higher civilization, which makes it extremely hard to obtain. That’s why the price is astronomical. Once we get it, though, we can make the absolute best use of it."

008 carefully laid out its reasoning. With the current state of communications in the apocalypse and the dangers lurking around them, acquiring this blueprint wasn’t just a luxury; it was essential for Kisha’s success and for their future operations.

The 500,000,000 system points felt like a wound in Kisha’s heart, one that kept bleeding no matter how she tried to ignore it. But it also ignited a determination in her, she needed to earn more system points.

To do that, she decided to raise the prices in her Sale’s Channel store. Her items weren’t just top quality; many were rare and hard to find elsewhere. That exclusivity gave her a little room to adjust the prices, enough to increase her earnings without angering her customers. This strategy would allow her to steadily accumulate more system points, giving her heart some measure of relief.

"Alright... buy it..." Kisha’s voice caught in her throat. Part of her wanted to back out, she couldn’t bear to watch her system points plummet so drastically.

"Alright... Host."

[Do you wish to purchase the Lightbrain Blueprint for 500,000,000 system points?]

[Yes] or [No]

Kisha’s finger trembled as she hovered over the [Yes] button. She closed her eyes, trying to tell herself, ’out of sight, out of mind.’ Yet even so, her heart fluttered with anxiety. After spending such an enormous amount, she felt a pang of guilt for a few moments, but gradually, the feeling eased. There was no turning back; no refunds. She forced herself to accept it.

Soon after, the blueprint appeared in her inventory. She immediately opened it and was met with a staggering array of detailed rolls. Each page was packed with intricate mechanical diagrams, technical jargon, and advanced knowledge so complex that even she struggled to comprehend what was written.

There were so many layers in the blueprint, each detailing how every part was built, even the smallest components. Since it was a bracelet, it was incredibly intricate, with multiple layers packed inside.

Kisha couldn’t help but wonder how all those components could possibly fit together. But she didn’t understand the technical details, so she decided to leave it to Engineer Steel to figure out; hopefully, they could decipher it, or else she’d have spent a fortune for nothing.

She returned the blueprint to her inventory and told Aston and Tristan to head back home and rest for the night. For now, she had given them their task, and Aston needed time alone to prepare for his awakening.
