SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Frost Crystal Vein.

Bang!

A Yeti was smashed into smithereens before it even had the chance to understand what had happened. Its massive body burst apart beneath Kael’s fist, chunks of flesh and shattered bones scattering across the thick layer of snow as the force of the impact carved a shallow crater into the ground.

Kael stood over what remained of the creature, his expression completely indifferent.

A translucent notification screen hovered before his eyes.

[You have killed a Level 41 Frost Yeti.]

[Experience gained.]

[Infinite Reward Multiplier — Activated!]

[Multiplier: x53]

Kael stared at the notification for a moment before sighing.

"How weak."

It had already been several hours since the exploration began, yet the only monsters his team had encountered were a handful of weak Yetis. None of them had been capable of putting up even the slightest resistance against him.

He had expected something more from this rift.

At the very least, he had expected to encounter monsters that could force his team to take the exploration seriously. Instead, he had spent the last few hours walking through the frozen landscape and casually slaughtering anything that happened to cross their path.

Kael sighed again before shaking his head.

"Well, I shouldn’t jinx it."

Having weak monsters around wasn’t exactly a bad thing. It meant less danger for him and his team. There was no reason to complain about an exploration that was going smoothly.

He was just beginning to turn away from the Yeti’s remains when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Crunch.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The sound of boots pressing into thick snow gradually became clearer. Kael turned his head and soon spotted Oswald walking toward him.

Since the incident earlier, the green-haired hunter had become considerably more obedient. The hard-headed attitude he had displayed at the beginning of the exploration had disappeared almost entirely, replaced by a cautious restraint whenever Kael was around.

The moment Oswald noticed Kael’s gaze falling upon him, his head immediately lowered slightly.

Kael stared at the change in behavior for a moment before speaking.

"Report."

Oswald straightened.

"The analysis team has discovered a rich Frost Crystal vein. Based on their initial estimates, the entire vein should be worth around ten billion credits. They’re requesting permission to set up camp and begin mining it."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"I’ve also scouted the surrounding area. I didn’t sense any powerful beasts that could pose a threat to the team."

Kael didn’t immediately respond.

Frost Crystals weren’t particularly valuable to someone like him. Compared to resources such as Mythril, they were far less precious. However, that didn’t mean they were useless.

Frost Crystals were important materials for enchanting. They could be used to imbue equipment with cold-related properties and enhance spells associated with ice and frost. High-quality Frost Crystals could also be used in various magical formations and specialized equipment.

For the members of his team, discovering a vein worth ten billion credits was undoubtedly a considerable opportunity.

"How long are they asking for?" Kael asked.

"Thirty minutes."

Kael nodded.

"Sure. Let’s go meet them."

Oswald immediately turned around and led the way.

The two soon returned to where the rest of the exploration team had gathered. The main team was still maintaining their defensive formation, their members spread out around the specialists while remaining vigilant toward their surroundings.

At the center of the formation, the specialists had gathered together, many of them huddled beneath their protective equipment in an attempt to shield themselves from the freezing environment.

As Kael approached, one of the men immediately stepped forward.

He appeared to be in his forties, with a calm and gentle expression that contrasted sharply with the stern attitudes of some of the hunters. He was Sean, the head of the specialist team.

"Team Leader Kael."

Sean approached respectfully.

Kael nodded.

"I heard you guys found a Frost Crystal vein."

"Yes."

Sean pointed toward a distant section of the frozen landscape.

"Our machine is picking up the strongest signal from over there."

Kael didn’t even bother looking in the direction he pointed.
