I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 430 - 430 Fuck!

430 Fuck!

Now that he had read the contents of the black scroll. He finally had directions he had to take and make various plans based on the information.

First of all, the information on the scroll was divided into five sections. The first section is essentially the story of how a witch massacred the Smith family, and only Gregory survived. Based on the scroll, the head of the Smith Family, Russell Smith, is an A-rank peak degu user that had an amazing talent for exploration. He was known as the greatest to ever explored ancient relics and dangerous tombs. Russel was also a great scholar of archeology and a warrior with a unique fighting style.

The Smith Family is a degu user family that was quite known to the San Fernando country at its peak. The average rank of their family members is at least D rank, then there are a few C ranks, and one A rank, which was the family head. It was worth mentioning that C ranks are already fearsome in the degu circle in San Fernando country and other small cities.

Ironically, it was his profession that brought upon his death and disaster to the smith family. He once explored a crooked and extreme tombstone filled with various traps and dangerous mechanisms. The mortality rate of explorers is 96%! Almost all the great explorers and archeologists with loud names on their fields died! Only three luckily survive because they didn’t go deeper. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Even after knowing the danger, it was said that Russell Smith still entered the tomb with the spirit of a true explorer. He was ready to die for the sake of his passion. It was not known if it was a blessing or a curse. He managed to come out alive with a red gemstone in his hand. The news about Russel’s successful exploration shocked the entire explorer’s community and even the powerful kingdoms. Unfortunately, the Smith Family had been eradicated the next day after the news circulated.

‘They thought no one had survived, but the captain managed to live up until now with a curse in his body.’ Fein finally knew what really happened and he couldn’t help but feel that his captain’s life was really tragic. Though, he managed to bloom in the end and make various achievements on his own.

Fein didn’t know how to describe Russell. He couldn’t call the other party stupid. Since Fein had great respect for explorers who values their passion that they even disregarded their life for it. He had to say it was stupid, but noble at the same time. Unfortunately, his family got implicated because of it. It’s not wrong to pursue a passion, but he has to make sure that he has strong strength!

‘So the witch targeted the Smith Family because of the red gemstone? Or the witch might have something to do with the tombstone and didn’t want any information leaks? So he cut off Russell and any potential source of info leak?’

If that was the latter, Fein could understand it. As for the former, he didn’t have enough information about the red gemstone.

.....

After he understood his captain’s background story. Fein switched his attention to the second, it happened that it was about the red gemstone!

Fein became thoughtful and entered a state of concentration. ‘So in the end it was the red gemstone huh... What is this red gemstone that the witch had to eradicate the entire Smith Family? And finally, is it useful for the witch or the Laughing Phantom?’

After all, it’s possible that one of the members of the Laughing Phantom only instructed the culprit to take the stone. He knew that he had to collect information about Laughing Phantom sooner or later.

After he thought of this, he stared at the information regarding the red gemstone that he was most curious about. In the first place, how did the witch know the red gemstone when no one had even managed to get deeper into the tombstone except for Russell? He had a lot of doubts in his mind but he has too little information so he could only make do with the information that he currently possessed and draw inferences from them.

The red gemstone is called ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ according to the second section of the scroll. And it only had one function. It. It is an artifact that can turn inexpensive metals into gold or create an elixir that would make humans younger, thus delaying death.

Fein had only one word in his mind. ‘Fuck!’

Isn’t it similar to harry potter or the full metal alchemist in his past life? The legendary philosopher’s stone! He didn’t expect that it would also exist in this world. What does this mean? Anyone who obtains that philosopher’s stone is bound to become the wealthiest man in the world and obtain immortality at the same time as long as one kept extending his lifespan! Now, he doesn’t wonder why the killer would massacre an entire family with the philosopher’s stone involvement.

The human heart is unpredictable, and, in human history, wealth or even the slightest things could cause conflict. Humans fought wars for resources that caused bloodshed everywhere. What about a philosopher’s stone? It was a no-brainer!

The witch thought that he had already uprooted the entire family of Smith, but he didn’t know that one had escaped the net and survived!

Fein’s eyes suddenly lit up. ‘It seems there’s a change of plans! I will kill the witch, collect information about the laughing phantom, and collect the philosopher’s stone, by the way.’

The second point is important because the laughing phantom was in the dark. The first who managed to collect the information and took the initiative would obtain a massive advantage in the fight.

As for the last goal... Well, if he could obtain the philosopher’s stone, he doesn’t have to worry about money even if he doesn’t work. Then he also doesn’t have to worry that he would die of old age as long as the philosopher’s stone was in his hand.

Of course, the premise was that the philosopher’s stone really had that kind of power. And Fein only treated it as a temporary means. Because he doesn’t want to rely on external means. In the end, internal means or your personal power is more reliable! External items can be lost. But only personal power won’t disappear because it’s your power! Fein wants to become immortal by himself, which is more reliable rather than relying on a stone forever.
