Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

[Rael's POV]

What a bunch of pushovers. Rael scoffed.

Their names were stupid, but at the very least, he could get some money from them.

The first one was definitely a gacha addict. As for the second, he seemed like some old man.

Nonetheless, he had to get them to leave somehow.

"Enjoy the item. Remember, you can come and purchase the same lootbox as many times as you want. The quality will vary," Rael said, shooing them away.

But Crouching Tiger seemed to be an idiot.

"W-Wait a second... Sir Rael Sutekh, could you give me some work to do? I'd be happy even if it isn't paid. I just want to get to know you better."

Rael looked at him coldly. "I'm sorry, but I don't swing that way. You can take your fetishes and get out."

"Sir, how about we get a discount on the next thing we buy if we advertise the store to, let's say... 10 people?" Sausage Handler offered. "That way, you get more customers, and we get a currency called experience."

"If you can advertise the store to 100 people, then I might consider giving you some chores to do," Rael replied, shooting their attempt down.

He could probably give them a quest, but what was the fun in that?

If the players became too overleveled, who would buy his gear?

"100 people? Do you promise to consider us then?" Sausage Handler asked, a sparkle in his eye.

"Yeah, yeah, get out," Rael said, and finally, they began leaving.

However, as they approached the door, Crouching Tiger suddenly reached for one of his crystal constructs.

The moment he did, Rael stood up, appearing right behind him.

"One pat is 500 Trell."

"..." Crouching Tiger speechlessly took his hand back and finally left alongside his friend.

As for Rael, he was pretty happy.

An hour in, he had already made 9,000 Trell.

But of course, he still had around 1,347 sets left to sell, adding up to slightly over 6 million Trell in total.

Safe to say, if he could sell everything within 20 days, he would be rich.

However, this was very boring.

In fact, it was so boring, Rael decided to get a replacement.

<Crystal Genesis>

Available MP: [222,800/222,800]

<Miscellaneous (Uncommon ~ Epic) 100,000 ~ 10,000,000 MP>

Like before, he pressed it and typed in something slightly different.

<Receptionist Construct>

He selected everything necessary, but this time, instead of pouring in the bare minimum of his mana, Rael put in all 100%.

[MP -222,800/222,800 (Crystal Genesis)]

<Xavier the Almighty (Uncommon) has been crafted!>

<Configuration saved automatically!>

<Crafting Successful! +1,500 Skill Experience>

Immediately, a neat-looking crystal construct appeared, resembling the others a tiny bit.

But of course, this one served a different purpose, so Rael naturally gave it a goofier name.

Name: Xavier the Almighty

Race: Summoned Crystal Construct

Level: 45

Health Points (HP): [2,500/2,500]

Mana Points (MP): [2,500/2,500]

Strength: 50

Agility: 50

Constitution: 250

Intelligence: 250

Wisdom: 1

Charisma: 500

—Special Effect: Haggling (Common)

If stationed as a receptionist, the construct has a 1% chance to successfully raise the asking price by up to 10%.

A scamming robot, perfect. Rael nodded in satisfaction and commanded him to stand by the desk.

And of course, a little trick he had found out.

<Would you like to transfer partial ownership to selected crystal construct: Xavier the Almighty?>

<Yes/No>

He pressed "Yes," and now, Xavier could deal with basic shop operations and sales.

Of course, stealing was close to impossible, as all the guards nearby were much higher level than the players.

Not to mention, he was the king.

Nonetheless, his automation was done, and with that, he headed outside, breathing in some fresh air before sending Zafira a message.

<Rael Sutekh: Need me for anything? If not, I'm going to head out for a while.>

Tapping his feet on the ground impatiently, he soon received a reply.

<Zafira Sutekh: On the contrary, you're perfect. Do you want to be a part of an envoy heading to Yrgon? That's where you were thinking of going, right?>

How did she...? Rael's eyes widened.

<Rael Sutekh: Yes... I want to give the travelers a reason to come to Celestara. Also, I suggest you consider taxing those who enter the city—the travelers, I mean.>

It would give them money, and the players wouldn't exactly mind.

If they saw something locked behind a paywall, they would naturally be curious about what was behind it.

<Zafira Sutekh: I've already done that. There's no entrance cost, but there's now a cost for leaving, which is 500 Trell. If they can't pay up, we employ them until they can pay it off.>

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Rael let out a loud laugh, startling the passersby.

<Rael Sutekh: You're amazing, Zafira. Talk to you later, or whenever you have the information regarding the envoy. I'm going to head out for a bit to a dungeon—I need to test some stuff out.>

His damage had increased massively, and now what he needed most were levels.

If he could reach level 50, Rael could become a Vice-General class boss.

A lot of traveling opportunities would open up, as his stats, with all the equipment combined, had long reached the level 100 threshold, and with the Vice-General class buff, it would be even greater.

But it seemed like Zafira's reaction wasn't that calm.

<Zafira Sutekh: A king going inside a dungeon? Rael, are you joking? There are some dungeons under the royal palace, just go there and warm up if you want. There's no need to risk your life.>

Sorry, Zafira. No can do, Rael thought with a sigh before closing the interface, leaving her on read.

With that, he went to the adventurer's guild, and along the way, finally finished his quests.

<Quest: Slay 50 Boars | Progress: 50/50 - Complete!>

—<Would you like to end the quest here? Yes/No>

Yep.

<Quest Complete! Rewards: +500 Trell>

Bruh.

<Quest: Clear The Skeleton Maze Dungeon | Difficulty: Level 10-20>

—<Reward: 2,500 Trell - Available to Claim!>

He pressed on it, and like the last quest, he received the money.

<Quest Complete! Rewards: +2,500 Trell>

The payout was a joke, but either way, he finally arrived at the adventurer's guild. After a few moments of looking around, he picked out the perfect quest.

<Quest: Clear the Wolf Den Dungeon | Difficulty: Level 50-60>

—<Reward: 15,000 Trell>

Rael accepted it without hesitation, waving innocently at the people gathered around, staring at him in awe.

He pressed a few more buttons, and soon, a compass appeared, pointing west.

The players would only truly start arriving a day or two later, so during that time...

I need to catch up on some long-awaited grinding.
