Evolving My Undead Legion In A Game-Like World

Chapter 1129: Might Be Too Hot To Handle

Michael reached forward.

”I accept.”

His finger lightly pressed the [Yes] panel. The floating platform emitted a soft hum. The Frostleaf Grass slowly dissolved into countless tiny particles of light before disappearing completely.

At almost the same moment, another translucent panel materialized before him.

”So thatʼs it.”

Michael looked around instinctively but found nothing unusual.

”It really was sold…”

After a brief moment of thought, he dismissed the matter. The information simply wasnʼt available to him yet. With the selling process complete, his attention naturally shifted toward the other option.

”Buy.”

The moment he selected it, the Trade Table transformed. The previous interface dissolved before an entirely new one appeared.

Michael selected Universal Goods first.

Rows upon rows of items immediately appeared before him causing his eyes to widened.

”So many…”

The list was enormous. However, after scrolling for a while, he noticed something.

Every item displayed was rated between one and four stars. Nothing higher appeared.

Perhaps a Level One Universal Cornerstone simply wasnʼt permitted to trade for higher-rated goods.

In any case, Michael wasnʼt too disappointed. Even the first few pages already contained enough treasures to leave him stunned.

His gaze landed on one particular item.

Basic Elven Language

Evaluation: ★★★★

Price: 68,600 Origin Points

Michael couldnʼt help gasping.

”…Language?”

One could directly purchase a language? His curiosity immediately overwhelmed him. He opened the description.

Basic Elven Language Grants complete mastery over the spoken and written fundamentals of the Elven language.

Michael stared silently for several seconds.

”So knowledge itself can be traded…”

This alone completely overturned his expectations of the Trade Hub. He quickly continued browsing.

One item after another appeared before him.

Rare Grade herbs. Rare Grade ores. Extraordinary Grade monster materials. Extraordinary Grade weapons. Extraordinary Grade cultivation resources. Extraordinary Grade spell scrolls.

There were simply too many treasures.

Yet as Michaelʼs gaze shifted toward their prices, the excitement on his face slowly stiffened.

Tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands. Some even reaching Millions.

Michaelʼs eyelids twitched.

”…Iʼm so poor.”

There was simply no other way to describe it. His entire fortune consisted of a mere two hundred and thirty-nine Origin Points. Compared to the prices displayed before him, he might as well have been penniless.

Michael smiled bitterly before closing the Universal Goods section.

”Letʼs look somewhere more realistic.”

His attention shifted toward the final category.

Unique Goods.

According to the information provided by the Universal Cornerstone, these goods were exclusive to Universal Cornerstones based on their level. Michael selected the category.

The list before him immediately shrank to only a handful of items. But the very first entry caused his breathing to stop.

Basic Class Scroll

Evaluation: ★★★★★★★★★★

Price: 5,000,000

Description: Grants the user one random Basic Class at the cost of any existing foundation. No age limit.

Origin Points Unique Item Exclusive to Level One Universal Cornerstones.

Michaelʼs pupils contracted.

”A… class scroll?”

For several moments, he simply stared at the panel. His heartbeat accelerated.

Every awakener in the universe, including those who had awakened naturally, could be said to have done so through pure luck.

Even two powerful awakeners coming together to have a child didnʼt guarantee the child would awaken in the future.

No one truly understood the conditions behind it.

Talent could be inherited from parents and Bloodlines could influence potential. But awakening itself remained one of the greatest mysteries.

Yet now, a single scroll could grant someone a class.

Didnʼt that mean…

”This is practically a guaranteed awakening…”

Michael muttered in disbelief. Anyone without a class could potentially become an awakener simply by using this scroll. Its value was impossible to estimate.

No wonder it had received a ten-star evaluation. It also seemed the star evaluation system was more complex than he had initially imagined, since one would expect such an opportunity to be considered close to priceless.

In any case, if five million Origin Points was roughly equivalent to more than twenty thousand Rare Grade herbs, Michael doubted any great power would hesitate to purchase one if given the opportunity.

Suppressing his shock, he continued scrolling down the list. There were only four additional class scrolls.

Knight Class Scroll

Evaluation: ★★★★★★★★★★

Price: 7,000,000 Origin Points

Mage Class Scroll

Evaluation: ★★★★★★★★★★

Price: 12,000,000 Origin Points

Hunter Class Scroll

Evaluation: ★★★★★★★★★★

Price: 6,000,000 Origin Points

Archer Class Scroll

Evaluation: ★★★★★★★★★★

Price: 5,500,000 Origin Points

Michaelʼs eyes lingered on the Mage Class Scroll. It was the most expensive among the specialized classes.

Considering how powerful mages often became in the later stages of cultivation and awakening, the pricing wasnʼt entirely surprising.

Michael slowly leaned back, unable to hide the amazement in his eyes.

”So these… are the exclusive goods of a Level One Universal Cornerstone.”

Class scrolls. The mere existence of such treasures was enough to shake the foundation of countless worlds.

And yet they were only the exclusive items available at the lowest possible level of a Universal Cornerstone.

Michael suddenly found himself wondering what unimaginable treasures awaited him if he ever upgraded it to Level Two.

Suddenely an incredible chill ran up his spine.

”Heavens, I am so cooked.”

It was only now that the full weight of his situation settled on him.

If anyone leadned what the Universal Cornerstone was capable of, they wouldnʼt wait before knocking on his door with very unreasonable requests.

”I donʼt even think they need to know what it can do. Just knowing I have something valuable enough to be announced will be enough.”

Michael couldnʼt help feeling a trace of anxiety, though he wasnʼt frightened.

Given the Universal Cornerstoneʼs value, several ideas he had originally planned to pursue only after some time now felt like they needed to be pushed forward immediately.
