Chapter 23: Monster Market

"Uhmm..." Aldric could not help but clear his throat at his words.

This man had told him a lot of things, so he was a bit uncomfortable if he didn't give him the Honey of Life.

Considering he had sold 900 bottles, one would guess that he still had quite a lot. After all, there was no way he would sell them all.

If he didn't give Eliot the Honey of Life, there was a possibility of their friendship cracking.

Even if the man seemed to assure him he wouldn't reveal his identity, a fractured friendship could lead to many other problems.

Finally, Aldric decided to take out one bottle.

"I still have a few bottles, it's my fault for selling too many. Take it, no need to pay for it. After all, you've helped me quite a lot," he said as he handed the bottle to him.

"Are you sure, bro?" This time, it was Eliot who looked doubtful.

"I have some Level 10 Monster Cores, I can pay you," he said.

"Don't worry, I have too many Level 10 Monster Cores right now," Aldric replied, forcing him to take the bottle.

Forced by him, Eliot couldn't refuse.

He smiled wryly as he said, "Thanks, bro. I owe you a favor. With this Honey of Life, I can recover faster. Otherwise, it will take a long time since I have some internal injuries."

"No, no, don't consider yourself indebted," Aldric replied.

"The monster market is about to open!" Someone in the distance suddenly shouted.

That attracted the attention of many people who immediately looked at the person who shouted.

"Really, hurry, hurry, we need to get there right away."

Those people seemed very enthusiastic, leaving in a hurry.

"Brother Eliot, what's the monster market like?" Aldric asked Eliot.

Although he could tell right away that it was a market that sold monsters, he still wanted to know the details, such as what kind of monsters they sold, what their prices were, and the like.

"It's a market that sells monster slaves where they obey their boss one hundred percent," Eliot replied.

"Bro, don't you have a lot of Level 10 Monster Cores, you can buy powerful monster slaves, are you interested?"

Aldric had been interested from the start because he thought that if he had powerful monster slaves, he could carry out his plan without the help of other players.

"Sure, let's see," he said.

"Let's go..."

Eliot immediately led the way.

As he walked, he started drinking the Honey of Life straight from the bottle.

For a moment he seemed surprised by the taste but he was more surprised by the effect.

"I can feel my internal wounds starting to heal, this one bottle really seems to be enough to heal all my internal wounds," he said.

He continued to drink the honey under Aldric's gaze.

In just a few minutes, he had almost finished the honey.

After it was gone, he looked very refreshed even though he still had a messy appearance.

"Bro, I really have to thank you. If you have more Honey of Life next time, please sell me some."

The man looked pleading when he said that.

However, Aldric smiled wryly as he responded.

"I'm not sure that luck will come again," he said.

Although it was certain that he would get new stock, he did not want to reveal the secret to anyone.

He pretended that it was just luck that might not come again.

"I'm sure it will come to you again, bro..." Eliot replied.

This time, Aldric just smiled without saying anything else.

The place they were heading to was on the outskirts of the city.

There was a building that looked like a soccer stadium but bigger, maybe five times bigger with a large courtyard.

Currently the courtyard was filled with many people as they scrambled to get into the building.

The night that should have been quieter had such a crowded place.

"Brother Eliot, why does this market only open at night?" asked Aldric.

"This is so that the transfer of masters between the monster slaves goes smoothly. The process may be a bit difficult, during the day, the monsters are in top form while at night, they are tired and calmer because during the day, they are made tired. Basically, it's just to facilitate the transaction." Eliot explained.

"Ohhh..." Aldric finally understood.

Fortunately, the building had many doors so the queue to enter was not long.

Arriving inside, Aldric was immediately amazed by the spacious room that was very bright even though it was night.

His experience in meeting monsters was still minimal, he had only ever met low-level monsters.

Here, he saw many monsters of enormous size, locked up in giant cages where their feet and hands were bound with chains.

He saw gorillas up to eight meters tall, with black fur with some gold, sitting leaning against their cages with their eyes closed.

On each cage, there was a board containing a description of the monsters inside them including the price they were sold for.

Aldric stared at the board on the gorilla cage, immediately shocked.

(Ancient Gorilla, Level 9, price 50 Level 10 Monster Cores, stronger than most Level 10 Monsters!)

"So expensive!"

Aldric was shocked by the price of the gorilla.

It was only Level 9, but one practically had to kill 50 Level 10 Monsters to kill it. Aldric felt that this was ridiculous.

"Some monsters are very expensive because not only do they have combat power far above their level, but because their bodies have many unique features," Eliot replied.

"This gorilla for example, it has very strong bones. If he is killed, his bones can be used to make powerful weapons. Their value might even exceed that of the gorilla itself. This doesn't include its soul, which is extraordinary enough to be the Genesis Core."

"So the price is indeed comparable." Aldric finally understood.

He watched the gorilla for a while longer but then he smiled strangely.

His instincts suddenly told him that even if he was at the Ninth Stage, he could easily suppress the gorilla.

If he became a monster, how much would it be worth?

"Jeez, bro, I gotta log out, my mom woke me up," Eliot said suddenly.

When Aldric looked at him, the man had already started to disappear.

He seemed to be in a hurry.

"Well..." Aldric had no problem being in this place alone.

He continued his pace, observing the monsters that had the largest size.

With a budget of over 400 Level 10 Monster Cores, he naturally wanted to purchase a truly outstanding monster slave.
