“Galaxy Glow?” Mingway pondered. A moment later, he slowly answered, “I’m sorry, I can’t promise you this. I do have the follow-up of the Galaxy Glow training methods but I don’t have the qualification to sell it. The right belongs to the Academies Union.”

“Not qualified?” Garen’s heart sank. If even the Honorable Noble was not qualified, then perhaps the only chance he had was with the Academies Union.

“The follow-up training methods of Galaxy Glow are very precious. It is not something that you can buy with money alone. If you need other training methods, then I can give you a full set. With the profit that you provided this time, I can offer you a full set of Level Five training methods. How about it?” Mingway tempted him.

“Level Five…quite low…” Garen shook his head although he did need a training method to outline the path that he could take.

If the Living Secret Technique could forcefully increase Willpower as a power source that could be manipulated, then training methods could draw out his direction and the way forward. Without it, he could not forcefully continue to upgrade the Level of his Willpower.

Originally, when he had come to this world, he had intended to mainly absorb and use the world’s local power system while using his own martial arts as a supplement.

“Quite low? Hehe…” Mingway could not help but laugh. The little guy in front of him only had Level One Willpower, yet he still thought that a Level Five training method was quite low? A lot of people could spend a lifetime training and yet be unable to reach Level Four Willpower. For a normal qualified pilot, a Level Five training method was already a godly training manual. If he was lucky enough to reach Level Five, then he could enter the ranks of top experts. As long as he did not meet those abnormal inheriting pilots, for everything else, it could be counted as a lifetime of abundant wealth.

“Let me tell you the truth. Count it as me giving Celine face, I’ll give you an in-depth explanation,” he stopped laughing.

Garen was not angry. He only looked at the face in the ball calmly.

“Level Five, in the Blackboard Region alone, which has hundreds of millions of people, there are fewer than two hundred people who have their hands on it. This ratio is one in a million. If you can reach Level Five in this lifetime, you would already be thanking gods, as this is the peak for normal people. Perhaps you’re comparing yourself to people like Celine, but the power they have behind them is beyond your imagination. It would be better for you to be humble and take a step at a time. Slow and steady wins the race, don’t bite off more than you can chew,” Mingway kindly explained and reminded him.

Garen’s expression remained the same and nodded lightly.

“It seems that I was too naive. Then let’s exchange for the full set of Level Five training methods but just that one is not enough.”

“Of course, I’ll let you pick two more things from my stash, how about it?” Mingway answered generously. “The treasures in the stash are at least worth tens of millions per piece. If you’re lucky and have good eyesight, you may even get treasures that are worth hundreds of millions and maybe even billions~” he gave a triumphant laughter.

“As expected of an Honorable Noble, you even dare to bring treasures that are worth billions around with you…”Garen said with a sigh.

“Honorable Nobles like us may still lack things, but money and antiques are just too much to count. To be honest, if what you offered was not a business of high-energy fuel powder, I wouldn’t even have bothered with you,” after this deal had been settled, Mingway’s voice became languid. “Alright, I have two of these full sets of training methods. There’re not many of these, and those that can be spread around without consequences are even fewer. So, I can only give you two choices.”

With a swish sound, a board of crystal rose out from the ground before Garen. There were several lines of words in there mixed with three-dimensional diagrams.

The first one was a diagram of a soaring black eagle followed by a text explanation.

‘Crouched Eagle Talon: Level Five training method, a training method that trains Willpower based around attacks using claws with high-speed charges. Every Level will increase the speed of the Mech by a level. A field of Willpower will appear to strengthen the hands of the Mech and greatly increase the hardness of defense.’

The second one was a pair of triangular silver pieces that were stacked together in a fragmented way.

‘Block Lock: Level Five Training Method, greatly increases compatibility with the Mech, a great number of parts can be applied to the Mech during maintenance. Every Level can increase the defensive performance level. Level Five can unlock the ability to analyze the weakness of enemy’s Mech.’

“There’re only these two?” Garen wrinkled his brows. At the top of each Level increase, there was a label. These were strictly classified in accordance with the standard set by the Mother Planet Federation.

The performance of Mechs from Level One until Level Five, each model of a new series of Mech that appeared would give out five levels of data of their theoretical best values.

Speed, Strength, Armor defense, Compatibility, Detection range and so on would all have their corresponding levels. To increase the value on top of the Mech’s original values by a level, this was a basic trait of the general training methods.

Both the training methods that Mingway gave out were very mediocre. Their saving grace was the high levels that prevented them from appearing on the market.

“If it’s only these two kinds, with a little bit of luck I would be able to get them from the Blackboard Academy. Don’t forget, I’m also a member of the Blue Narcissus,” Garen added.

“True, you can get Level Five training methods as long as you can meet the requirements of the Blackboard Academy and you’re also the academy’s prospective elite student. There is a great possibility. If it’s like that, this will really be a loss for you,” Mingway also felt a bit embarrassed, “Let’s do it this way, if you’re not afraid of trouble, I can give you other sets of the more troublesome training methods. These training methods were acquired through some not so legal means. Once someone finds out that you’re training these, you may get into trouble. Are you afraid?”

“The power?”

“Of course I won’t let you down.”

“Fine then, let me see first!” Garen answered decisively without any hesitation.

Mingway’s could not help but take a few more looks at him.

“What a personality, no wonder Celine praised and recommended you.”

With a swish sound, the crystal board in front of Garen change immediately. Three new training methods surfaced. There were no diagrams this time, only lines of words.

‘Yuri’s Kiss: Level Five training method. The basic version of the inherited training methods Yuri’s Kiss. Each Level will increase the practitioner’s speed and strength by 1.5 times. Side effects: The process can cause extreme pain, one practitioner fell into insanity while training it.’

‘Moonlight: Level Five training method, incomplete version, originally one of the nine training methods of the Moonlight Saintly Sect. Each level can theoretically increase speed by two levels. Side effects: twice the pressure on the body. A speed that is too fast can create a strong burden on the pilot; more than two times the pressure is put on normal pilots. Some practitioners had trained to a certain level but died abruptly due to their own physical deficiencies.’

‘Glowing Radiance: Level Five training method, one of the self-created training methods by a master from the west, a special training method that was designed to create Modulated Biochemical Pool for personal use. Each level of Modulated Biochemical Pool can enhance 0.5 level of armor enhancement. Side effect: The progress is very difficult.’

“What is this thing from the last one?” Garen asked. When he saw this Modulated Biochemical Pool, his mind clicked.

“The Modulated Biochemical Pool is a miniature factory used to create biochemical machine soldiers. This kind of technology has almost ceased to exist now because the training method is very difficult and the soldiers that are created from the biochemical pool are far less powerful than pilots. It belongs to the category of technology that has been eliminated but since it’s quite good to be used purely for research,” Mingway casually explained, “I collected it out of curiosity. I bet no one is training this sort of ancient and outdated training method now. You’re better off not using it.”

“So what’s the problem with this training method?” Garen was very interested in this. The use of the Biochemical Pool might be able to complement his current condition.

“The problem is that increasing the Level is hard,” Mingway answered. “I’d advise you not to think about it. There were once inheriting pilots that tried to train in it but that pilot did not even achieve Level Four.”

“I choose the previous Crouched Eagle Talon plus this Glowing Radiance, how about it?” Garen thought for a bit and simply said.

“No problem, the robot will take you to the stash. I have to deal with something now, so I’ll come back later,” Mingway readily agreed; these two were useless to him anyway. His own training method was the cutting-edge enhancement training method. In the beginning, there was not much difference between the training methods but later, the difference would become more obvious.

The voice went away and the ball also returned to its original state.

Garen waited for a while in the hall. Soon, a silvery white robot with wheels on its bottom half rolled over and led him to the right where an elevator slowly descended.

After getting into the elevator which went upwards for more than ten seconds, turned into another passage and moved forward for another ten seconds, it soon came to a halt.

“Destination arrived, please enter, this is the third stash of His Highness Mingway. You can choose any two things inside and no more,” the robot’s mechanical voice sounded. “Please transmit the cooperation agreement to me, I will check it and pass it on to His Highness.”

Garen lifted his Watch Terminal and transmitted the agreement that had been prepared earlier to the robot. At the same time, he transferred the first earnings over to it.

The robot’s red electronic eyes flashed a few times as it completed the transmission. It moved aside and it seemed as though it was checking the agreement.

Garen walked into the small black hall before him.

Inside, it was pitch black, but the moment he stepped into the small hall, lots of yellowish light brightened up his surroundings.

The small hall was circular in shape and a large stone-gray bird statue stood in the middle. This large bird’s posture was weird. Its wings were unfolded with one foot raised as though it was about to step forward. Its height was more than five meters, which was equivalent to that of a Mech.

He did not know whether it was an illusion, but from the moment Garen walked into the small hall, the large bird statue’s eyes seemed like they were staring at him.

Ignoring the large bird statue, Garen began to walk around the small hall.

The small hall was filled with icy-blue light balls the size of a human head. There were two white rings that were constantly circling around a sphere like satellite rings. Inside the rings were the so-called treasures.

Walking around, Garen took a look at every single one of them. Some were seemingly ordinary hats, some were small bottles holding transparent liquid, there were also some swimwear and underwear that had been worn by women. There were ancient-looking black metallic helmets, ancient knight’s armor and so on.

Garen was completely unclear of the value of these things. He only observed them along his way, intending to get a general idea of Honorable Noble Mingway’s collection. As for his choice, picking any two things would do.

When he walked until the back of the large bird, a strange cane suddenly caught Garen’s eye. The cane was very long and its upper half was capped by a ball of light. It was long, dark and smooth, seemingly made out of wood. The top was set with silver ornaments, and its white silver was carved into the shape of many thin roots that clutched an ovular crimson jewel.

“This cane…” a ripple occurred within Garen’s heart. A feeling that seemed familiar yet foreign slowly emerged inside his heart. He gently picked up the cane and savored the mysterious feeling inside his heart.

“That is Staff of Absolute Yin. Since you have picked it up, then it’s counted as the first thing you’ve chosen,” Honorable Noble Mingway’s voice sounded again. “What do you choose as the second item?”

“Staff of Absolute Yin? Can you explain what it does?”

“It’s an antique with a long history, and the material it’s made of is somewhat special. It was said that only the elders of the Mother Planet Federation are eligible to use it, but the federation had been divided for such a long time that this thing has already lost its symbolic identity. Now it’s just a pretty ornament with some collectible value,” Mingway laughed scornfully. “By the way, this thing’s value is only twenty million at most.”
