Chapter 33 Worries

What Jiang Xiao had been worrying about finally happened.

Before this, Jiang Xiao had always had a concern in his heart: how uncomfortable would it be if his Star Power level couldn't keep up with his Star Technique level?

Now, Jiang Xiao clearly felt how powerful the Silver-quality Green Glow ability was and how much Star Power it consumed.

Just that one punch had consumed a small section of his entire Star Power reserve.

So, now the question arises: White Ghosts are the most common Other Dimension creatures in the North River region. Upgrading the quality of Green Glow to Gold isn't an impossible task for Jiang Xiao, but would upgrading the quality again be more beneficial or detrimental to him?

What if he could only use it three times before his body was completely drained?

Wouldn't Jiang Xiao be crying himself to death?

To put it more dramatically, what if his total Star Power wasn't enough and he couldn't even use it?

I have a divine skill! It truly exists within my Star Slots,

But no one has ever seen it!

Because I've never used it!

It's not that I'm afraid you can't handle this move, but because I can't use it...

Fortunately, Xia Yan sensed Jiang Xiao's unhappiness and gave him some comfort.

She said Jiang Xiao was being a bit pessimistic. For a child who had only awakened for a little over two months, the total amount of Star Power in his body was at a normal level.

With the start of their high school careers, in the coming years, the total Star Power of this group of awakened children would steadily and rapidly increase.

After all, 15 and 16-year-olds are not yet adults and are still growing, which is the age of explosive growth.

But unfortunately, Jiang Xiao's upper limit in terms of Star Techniques was simply too high.

Imperceptibly, this raised the requirements for Jiang Xiao's Star Power and objectively increased the demands on his physical fitness.

Jiang Xiao carefully looked at the Silver-quality Green Glow after it was upgraded and discovered that the upgrade requirements had changed.

Green Glow, Silver quality Lv.1 (Upgradeable).

Upgrade Requirements: White Ghost Star Bead (10) or Skill Points (10).

Originally, 10 White Ghost Star Beads could upgrade the quality, but now 10 White Ghost Star Beads could only upgrade it by one small level?

Multiply by ten each time?

Then, if the Gold quality were to be upgraded to Platinum quality, wouldn't it require 100 Star Beads to upgrade by one small level, and 1000 Star Beads to upgrade the quality?

It seems... not unacceptable.

Jiang Xiao's Star Technique quality had improved, and Xia Yan was equally happy. For her, if it could be solved with money, it wasn't a problem.

Of course, it was only because this was a Bronze quality White Ghost Witch Star Bead that Xia Yan dared to make such guarantees.

If Jiang Xiao wanted to upgrade a rare Gold quality Star Technique, even if Xia Yan's family had some wealth, it wouldn't be enough to handle it.

There are many ways to obtain Star Beads.

If you become an Awakened and enter a regular school, the state will regularly distribute Star Beads to you, and Star Beads will also be used as rewards in various assessments to encourage Awakened children to improve.

For those wealthy Awakened teams who are qualified to enter officially opened Other Dimension spaces, the Star Beads acquired in the Other Dimension can be internally digested. If they are really bored, they can also sell them to the government or commercial banks.

Generally, commercial banks offer higher prices for Star Beads than the government's recycling price. Of course, people like Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao, who enter the Snow Plains in their parents' names without spending money, should try their best to sell their spoils to the government for recycling.

Don't care about those few hundred dollars, after all, you will have to enter the Snow Plains again next time.

Moreover, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue don't even have enough Star Beads for their own use, how could they sell them to anyone?

In the North River region, the most common Other Dimension creature is the White Ghost, while in the volcano region, the more common Other Dimension creature is the Lava Ghost.

Therefore, the prices of these two types of Other Dimension creature Star Beads are relatively stable.

The market price of a White Ghost Star Bead fluctuates between 500 and 800 yuan, and the market price of a Lava Ghost Star Bead is around 3,000 yuan.

And the price of a White Ghost Witch Star Bead has been炒 (chao - speculated) up to 200,000 yuan, and even the final transaction amount is higher.

The reason why White Ghost Witch Star Beads are so expensive is partly because of the rarity of the White Ghost Witch.

On the other hand, the appearance of the White Ghost Witch is generally accompanied by a large group of White Ghosts, so the difficulty of obtaining White Ghost Witch Star Beads is very high.

Of course, the most essential reason is that it contains healing-type Star Techniques.

This is why even the lowest-level, lowest-quality Star Bead can sell for such a sky-high price.

When Jiang Xiao learned that a White Ghost Witch Star Bead was worth 200,000 yuan, or even more, his heart was bleeding.

Damn it, it really is "poor in letters, rich in martial arts," it really burns money.

And the real problem is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. White Ghost Witch Star Beads have always been scarce, with demand exceeding supply.

But this is also good news for Jiang Xiao. If he really needs money in the future, he can kill more White Ghosts and sell them to make up for his tuition fees.

It's just that the official acquisition price is indeed a bit dark. The recycling price of a White Ghost corpse can be sold for 200 yuan, while the recycling price of a White Ghost Star Bead is only a meager 300. The price sold to commercial banks can be higher, but at most, it's only a few dozen yuan higher.

Anyone with a brain knows that once a basic medical Star Technique is activated, as long as your luck isn't too bad and your aptitude isn't too poor, your future can be said to be limitless.

Even if you go bankrupt for a White Ghost Witch Star Bead, as long as you bet right and succeed, schools, clubs, and folk organizations will come to you one after another, and the so-called opportunities and resources will be readily available.

Just like the college entrance examination, a child from a mountain village can instantly complete the transformation of a carp leaping over the dragon gate, come to a university in a big city to study, and the resources and possible opportunities they obtain will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Of course, leaping over the dragon gate is a hurdle, and whether you can truly become a dragon depends on your creation.

Not all those who come out of universities are elites, that's a fact, and there's nothing to criticize.

200,000 yuan is an astronomical figure for Jiang Xiao.

But for Xia Yan, it's not a big deal.

If it were 2 million yuan for one Star Bead, Xia Yan might have to think carefully, but 200,000 yuan for one Star Bead?

Buy, buy, buy!

Buy ten first, and then consider it...

The Xia family is just a family, although they have some wealth, they are not a huge, powerful, and influential family.

In Jiang Xiao's eyes, Xia Yan is very rich, after all, there's still a 911 thrown in the garage, but compared to those really rich people, Xia Yan is as poor as Jiang Xiao.

The logic is the same as Jiang Xiao looking at NBA stars and Bill Gates. Shaquille O'Neal and Bill Gates are both rich people to Jiang Xiao, after all, O'Neal can earn tens of millions of dollars a year.

But for Bill Gates, O'Neal is really poor.

Xia Yan's mother, He Zeyun, is a female entrepreneur and an ordinary person, she can only be considered to have some "small money."

His father, Xia Shanhai, has also retired from the Pioneering Group due to injury, and his status and influence are vastly different from before.

For this kind of precious Star Bead in short supply, it's really difficult to buy without looking for connections.

Xia Yan plans to prepare on both fronts. On the one hand, she will ask her mother to ask her friends with her father.

On the other hand, Xia Yan feels that her team can obtain White Ghost Witch Star Beads on their own.

If time wasn't tight, Xia Yan really wouldn't want to trouble her family.

She hopes to upgrade Jiang Xiao's Blessing Star Technique to Silver quality within ten days, which will be extremely beneficial for Jiang Xiao to join her team as an exception, which is definitely a bonus.

Since this is the decision, they must race against time. Xia Yan decisively urged Jiang Xiao to leave the Snow Plains immediately and return to Jiannan Village.

As soon as she returned to Earth, Xia Yan called her mother, and then, Xia Yan called Han Jiangxue and found the main damage dealer in the team.

Only these three can participate in this action, otherwise, it will only add a lot of trouble.

Jiang Xiao watched Xia Yan blankly the whole time, and an idea popped up in his mind: Am I being taken care of!?

Am I... being taken care of based on my own ability?
