Tohsaka Rin could hardly believe her eyes.
What had the newcomer just said?
Just from gaining some insights of dubious authenticity while using the skill, he wanted to put them up in the group store to sell for points?
Who would buy such things? Wasn't this too much of an underestimation of this chat group?
Even Kanae was at a loss for words, only speaking after over ten seconds.
[Kanae: "For consigning products, you just need to think about it mentally, and the chat group will automatically extract the corresponding knowledge."]
After first answering Ryuga's question, she then said very tactfully.
[Kanae: "However, to be recognized as a product, there are still certain requirements. If the insights aren't of high value, even if they can be consigned, they'd be difficult to sell."]
Let alone that the group store would most likely not even include them as products.
Actually, Kanae and Tohsaka Rin's reaction was understandable.
If this newcomer were some grand master from a magical world, then summarized insights might be useful.
But the newcomer Ryuga was just an ordinary person from an ordinary world, only now making first contact with magic. What use could such a pure beginner's insights have even if extracted?
The others basically had the same thoughts, feeling the newcomer was overly confident, but didn't say so.
"How embarrassing it would be to discover his insights don't qualify as products!"
Tohsaka Rin suddenly felt secondhand embarrassment.
While she was thinking about how to get through this awkward topic, Ryuga's reply appeared.
One sentence left everyone in different worlds completely stunned.
[Ryuga: "@Kanae, thanks! Already succeeded!"]
[Ryuga: "The chat group has automatically priced them. If anyone needs them, please purchase freely!"]
"What?"
Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened.
"How is that possible?"
Kanae also showed an extremely puzzled expression.
"Basic insights about mana cultivation can also be sold? That's impossible!"
Erica felt it even more incredible.
She had tested the chat group's product evaluation before - it absolutely wasn't a mechanism that could be fooled.
If Ryuga's so-called insights had no obvious help for mana extraction itself, they couldn't possibly be recognized as products.
[Madoka: "Big brother is amazing!"]
Only the most innocent Madoka was first to accept this fact.
Being very interested in magic and having also cultivated Erica's mana extraction method, she was first to open the group store and first to search for Ryuga's new products.
Then young Madoka was shocked.
[Madoka: "Big brother actually consigned three products at once?"]
[Madoka: "Didn't big brother just say he only had small insights?"]
Hearing Madoka's words, the others were immediately confused.
A newcomer who had just contacted magic having insights sufficient to be recognized as products by the chat group was already outrageous enough.
Now they were saying those insights were enough to form three products?
What was going on?
In shock, everyone also began checking Ryuga's three products for sale.
Seeing the three product names, Erica, most familiar with [Mana Extraction·Basic Version], was immediately stunned.
[Mana Extraction·Master Version],[Mana Extraction·Speed Version], [Greater Source Mana Extraction·Transcendent Version].
All were automatically named by the chat group, so there was no possibility of false advertising.
"Just from contacting the extraction method I provided, he summarized even stronger mana extraction methods?"
You know, as a genius and noble daughter, the mana extraction method Erica used was already the universal extraction method passed down through generations by their magical society.
In her impression, even her uncle - Saint Paolo, who was a Paladin - only used this method to extract mana, never changing it.
In other words, what even Paladins couldn't accomplish, an ordinary person from an ordinary world had achieved so quickly?
After being stunned for several seconds, Erica came to her senses and wanted to immediately purchase it to see what the mystery was.
When she saw the price prompted by the group store, she was directly stunned again.
"This Master Version actually costs 999 points?"
You know, her original version only cost 100 points!
Ryuga's insights were selling for more than her original product - was this reasonable?
Not being very short on points, she gritted her teeth and bought it directly.
She wanted to see if it was truly worth the price.
Meanwhile, others also discovered the pricing issue and found it incredible.
[Tohsaka Rin: "They're both mana extraction methods - why is this so expensive?"]
[Kanae: "According to the rules, product prices are automatically set by the chat group, which means the chat group considers this product to have this value?"]
[Madoka: "Even so, it's still really expensive!"]
[Madoka: "I've been saving points through check-ins for so long, and it's still not enough."]
Faced with the high price, several members who weren't very well-off in points were somewhat daunted.
Just as Tohsaka Rin was about to @Erica to ask for her opinion, Erica's messages came flooding out like spam.
[Erica: "Not expensive! Not expensive at all! It's practically a steal!"]
[Erica: "Truly worthy of being called the Master Version of mana extraction! Not only has efficiency improved several times, even mana response speed, conversion efficiency, and total storage capacity have all been greatly enhanced!"]
[Erica: "Using this mana extraction method, I feel like I could fight two or three of my previous selves! Liliana definitely won't be my match now!"]
[Erica: "Compared to this, the extraction method I used before was too crude - it's practically garbage!"]
[Erica: "I even suspect that it's because the basic version I provided was too crude and held it back, that the Master Version is priced below a thousand. Otherwise, this product should be able to reach ranked level."]
[Erica: "@Ryuga, newcomer - no! Ryuga-san... no, Master Ryuga! Your improved mana extraction method is incredibly useful! Thank you for your contribution!"]
Having tasted the benefits, Erica began frantically praising and flattering Ryuga.
That whole string of spam messages left Tohsaka Rin and the others stunned.
Having interacted for so long, they already knew that although Erica appeared cunning, she actually had a proud personality. Even facing Paladins or even legendary gods, she maintained an eager-to-challenge attitude.
So they never imagined that this fox would be so excited and low-postured in praising someone else.
Was the newcomer's insight really that amazing?
While everyone was feeling awed and beginning to shift Ryuga from newcomer to big shot status, Erica continued excitedly trying to get closer to the master.
[Erica: "Master Ryuga, the Speed Version is also priced at 999 points. This version must be as exceptional as the Master Version!"]
Seeing Erica say this, Ryuga shook his head slightly.
[Ryuga: "I don't recommend you purchase the Speed Version."]
[Erica: "Eh? Why?"]
The blonde knight was extremely puzzled. Everyone hoped their products would sell more, so why was Master Ryuga actually stopping her?
Could this be the so-called "the Dharma cannot be lightly transmitted"?
[Ryuga: "The Speed Version is for people who haven't been in contact with mana extraction long, to improve their mana extraction speed and help them quickly reach their current mana storage limit."]
Ordinary people needed at least several years, even decades, to reach their personal limits in mana extraction.
The Speed Version technique could compress this time to several days or even hours, depending on mastery level.
As the technique's creator, Ryuga naturally needed even less time.
[Ryuga: "I found mana extraction too slow earlier, so I casually developed this technique."]
[Ryuga: "For someone like you who has already reached your current limit, this technique is useless."]
Seeing Ryuga's statement, the group fell silent again.
Several seconds later came the exclamations.
[Erica: "Thank you for Master Ryuga's reminder, otherwise I would have over-purchased."]
[Erica: "But a divine technique that can greatly accelerate personal mana extraction speed was just something casually developed..."]
[Erica: "I can't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked."]
[Erica: "Perhaps this is the world of big shots!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Perhaps this is the world of big shots!"]
[Kanae: "Perhaps this is the world of big shots!"]
[Madoka: "Perhaps this is the world of big shots!"]
Under consecutive shocks, Tohsaka Rin and others no longer knew what to say to express their emotions, and could only become a group of repeaters.
To be continued...
