NOVEL WEB Chapter 432: SP Points
"Are you saying that your currency is called SP-points?" — said Milica, when the couple explained to everyone how this mysterious store works.
"Yes, it is," Arabel replied. After thinking a little and discussing through a mental link, Idan and Arabel decided to reduce the System Points to just SP points.
"And the only way to get those SP points is to sell things to a mysterious store? Did we get it right?"— Milica continued to clarify after listening to the couple's explanations.
"Yes, this is probably the easiest and most accessible way for you to help us," Idan confirmed. "But Belle and I have another way to earn SP points, which, unfortunately, is not available to you."
"And what is it, if it's not a secret?" asked Sierra.
"Completing the tasks provided by the Mysterious Store," Idan slightly distorted the truth, presenting the task of the System as a task issued by the Mysterious Store. "These tasks can be very different, from simply killing Beasts to rescuing abducted awakened ones."
"Wait a minute, so you went to another world because of the assignment of this mysterious store?" Milica quickly realized, catching something in Idan's words that caught her attention.
"Yes and no," Idan replied quickly. "The mysterious store is adapting to our actions to some extent. It issues tasks based on our aspirations and actions. These tasks can be considered as additional requirements for our actions. For successful completion of such tasks, we receive SP points, and sometimes the items themselves."
Idan realized that he had almost let it slip that they had gone to the world of Darkness and Light because of the System's task. They really had a choice: to go there or not. There was no penalty or obligation. There was only a reward in case of success, and in case of failure there was no danger.
Idan decided to quickly change the subject, giving an example of the cost of selling animal carcasses in this mysterious store to give an idea to all the women. He and Arabel had already worked out an approximate price based on their little experience.
--------------------------

_Rank 1 – Bronze – (0-5)
_Rank 2 – Silver – (5-10)
_Rank 3 – Golden – (10-50)
_Rank 4 – Platinum – (50-100)
_Rank 5 – Daimond – (100-500)
--------------------------
Without thinking twice, the couple gave an example of the cost of buying items in a mysterious store to demonstrate the difference between selling goods to this store and buying them from there.

SP Points (Buy)
_Rank 1 – Bronze – (50-100)
_Rank 2 – Silver – (100-150)
_Rank 3 – Golden – (150-500)
_Rank 4 – Platinum – (500-1000)
_Rank 5 – Daimond – (1000-5000)
--------------------------
All the women began to carefully study the cost of items in the store, as did a couple who noticed a tenfold difference between the sale and the purchase.
"Little sister, was that potion you gave me back then bought from that mysterious store?" asked Sierra, suddenly remembering the potion that helped her ease her flaw.
"Yes, big sister," Arabel admitted. "Do you remember what we asked for in return?"
"The essence of blood… Wait, did you really take my blood essence to sell it?" Sierra quickly guessed.
Arabel looked slightly embarrassed, but nodded, confirming her guess.
"We didn't have any SP points at all at that time, so in order to help you and conclude a contract with you, we decided to demand the essence of the blood of a creature of Legendary rank from you," Arabel said, explaining the details.
"Unlike buying, we are not limited by rank in the sale, so your blood essence was worth a decent amount of SP points," Arabel added.
"How much?" — Sierra asked curiously, not feeling any anger in Arabel and Idan's actions.
"6,000 SP points, — Arabel replied. "The cost of the potion was 1,000 SP points."
"Oh!" exclaimed Sierra and the others, expressing their surprise.
"What about my blood essence?" asked Lucinda. "You also took my blood essence, no?"
"500 SP points for one vial. A total of 1,000 SP points is obtained for two vials," Arabel honestly admitted. She still hadn't sold Lucinda's blood essence, deciding to keep it for the future. Once she reaches Platinum Rank, she plans to concoct bloodline enhancement potions and upgrade her own Valkyrie bloodline to Diamond Rank.
"Only 500?" said Lucinda with some disappointment.
"Haha, what did you expect? You just have a Diamond Rank, and the maximum selling price that our little sister and Idan announced is 500 SP points," Sierra said with a slight smile.
"I wonder how much mine will cost?" Milica, as a creature of Epic rank (Rank 7), wondered how much her blood essence would cost.
"We don't know, but definitely more than 1,000 SP points," Idan replied. "After all, there's also a Rare rank between Diamond and Epic, which is likely to be between 500 and 1,000 SP points."
"And mine is a maximum of 100," Eulalia said softly, but everyone, of course, heard her. Apart from Idan and Arabel, she had the lowest platinum rank.
Idan and Arabel exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and turned to Eulalia.
"Eulalia, — Arabel addressed her. "Do you want to replace your bloodline?"
"Huh? What?" — Eulalia was stunned by Arabel's unexpected suggestion.
"We want to know if you would like to replace your low elf bloodline with a high elf bloodline?" This question from Arabel only confused Eulalia more, and she did not know what to answer.
She immediately turned to Milica, her master, seeking advice. For Eulalia, Milica was her idol and the one she wanted to follow.
Milica, knowing her oldest student very well, understood that Eulalia expected from her not only advice, but also approval. So she nodded at her with a smile.
Eulalia, a little nervous, turned to Arabel and expressed her wish.:
"I want... I want this."
Arabel, after receiving Eulalia's reply, smilingly bought a High Elf bloodline change potion, which she had previously found in the "Trade" function, for 750 System Points.
"Then here's my and Idan's gift to you, Eulalia, for everything you've done for us so far. For teaching us the basics of magic, for your support, and for the resources you've obtained for us," Arabel said, handing her the bloodline change potions.
"And we hope that you will continue to support us," she added at the end.
Eulalia, barely holding back tears, took the potions in her hands. For her, a low elf, it was just a dream that she thought would never come true. Even if she had somehow managed to establish a connection with the Bloodline Domain and break through to the highest realm, she would hardly have been able to reach the highest ranks.
But this gift from her younger comrades radically changes the situation. With it help, her dream will no longer remain just a dream.
