Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

Chapter 587: Offense or defense?

One by one, Michael popped the cork out of the vials and began pouring it onto his Drone. His endorphins ran high as he saw the translucent drops of Soo become absorbed into his Mithril Artifact.

Finally, he had five drops for himself. He couldn’t wait to spend them all upgrading his weapon into something even more powerful than it was now.

He already had an idea about what he was going to prioritize first, but as usual, he was going to take his time thinking about it. He didn’t know when or where he would be able to get drops again.

“I can see that you’re very happy with your drops, Michael. I’m glad to see it!” Barnaby beamed with pride. This was one of the reasons why he started this business in the first place.

“By the way, congratulations are in order. I’m seeing a lot of people considering you and your Reborn company as the new top spot in the Rising Six. I’m guessing that they have to change the name now that you’re there.”

This was good news for him because it would only put more visibility on their company, leading to more profits and having more people recognize the Reborn brand.

“Everyone’s talking about your talents and your weapons. Who would have thought that you had a lot of Mithril Artifacts under your care? Haha, do you want to share with me the tomb where you found all of that? Maybe you have a few left in store that you need selling. I’m sure that it will be another hot topic in next year’s auction.”

Barnaby’s words were definitely in a joking manner. He knew that a treasure like Mithril Artifacts were almost priceless, given how few there were in the world.

“I mean, sure. I’ll have a few of them ready to sell next year if you want,” Michael said with a smile.

“HAHA! I will look forward to the day that comes!” Barnaby laughed, winking at Michael. He thought that he wasn’t serious. “Anyways, I have to leave now. The next phase of the auction is about to commence. And in my opinion, it’s the most exciting part.”

There were only two items left: the automobile and the 15 Soo drops. These products were so valuable that Barnaby expected their prices to reach sky high, so much so that only the Major Factions could afford them.

Barnaby soon left Michael’s VIP suite and arrived at the bottom of the stage just a second later. The chubby man was that fast.

Meanwhile, Michael stayed in the room and contemplated how to best use his new drops.

ChatJK4, can I get the Drone upgrade list again?

[….]

There was no response.

Right. I forgot about the software update.

He had spent his whole life hearing ChatJK4’s voice and got used to it so much that now it felt like there was a part of him missing.

Oh well, looks like I’ll have to check it myself.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on what he wanted to find. And lo and behold, the list magically appeared in his mind just a second later.
