Chapter 151: Let\'s Get Rich!
He looked down on the Giganto Zilla in front of him, which lay on the ground unmoving and lifeless.
[You have Cleared the Quest: “Serolia’s Apex Predator”!]
[Two Skill Points have been awarded!]
The last of the energy obtained by being struck by lightning slowly fizzled away.
‘I did let the Tsero damage and tire him out though… Hm.’ The Paru chuckled, amused by his own thoughts. ‘It wouldn’t have mattered anyways. I’ve already beaten a Giganto Zilla 1-on-1 after all.’
The Paru crouched and reached for the Giganto Zilla’s head, separating its jaws and checking its fangs.
‘Using the terrain… What surrounds us… Or who surrounds… That’s just another part of fighting. I can’t take risks and fight emotionally like I did against that Wizzos’ Alpha. Go for the kill right away, like Roka does.’ The Paru nodded to himself. ‘Still getting used to having that much energy within me… My muscles, my nerves, my cells, my brain… Everything goes into overdrive, and it feels ecstatic. Staying focused and calm in that state isn’t easy.’
The Paru scratched his chin.“Anyways, time to eat.”

‘A couple of Skills got stronger. Good.’ The Paru nodded to himself. ‘My Stats have also increased nicely. But…’
He turned away from the System Window, gazing at the area surrounding him.
“Dozens of them remain.” The Paru scratched his head as he clicked his tongue. “I can either eat them all, or…”
There was only one alternative.
“Oh! There you are…” He muttered and started walking towards the Tsero Crystal that he had tossed high into the air earlier. “As expected, not a crack.”
The Paru stared at that Tsero Crystal for a moment, before letting out a sigh and playing it inside one of the many duffle bags he had taken with him.
‘This one is too useful. I can unleash the same attack as I did earlier, bringing complete chaos to the area below it. Plus…’ And most importantly. ‘With this, Liz, Roka, and all the others become much stronger. The Plasma Ray shot by their weapons would react the same way as mine or a Giganto Zilla does with the Tsero Crystal. The problem is if the ray comes back to them…’ The Paru thought while Devouring the closest Tsero he found. ‘Well, they’ll just have to shoot from very far away. The further you are, the less likely you are to get it.’ He nodded to himself as he gulped. ‘Now, just like Giganto Zillas, Plasma weapons can’t hurt me… Well, as long as I react quickly enough. I wonder if that will freak them out…Meh. I doubt it.’
The Paru cursed a moment for not having talked to Raya for a bit longer.
‘I should have asked which Crystals were most valuable after the Tsero Crystals… Those on a Tsero’s back? On a Giganto Zilla’s? The Crystals found here?’
The bag had been brought to collect valuable crystals and sell them later on.
‘I’ll just have to think about their uses and go from there to estimate their values. Tsero Crystals duplicate energy, so there’s nothing more valuable than that… The Tsero stock and attract energy… The Giganto Zilla’s store and expel… Those red ones have the highest rate of energy absorption, but they require physical contact…’
The Paru walked around the area at the peak of the mountain, Devouring Tsero, collecting Crystals, and filling up the duffel bags.
‘I’ll take a bit of everything just in case, then focus on getting a lot of those I think might be the more valuable ones. This whole area is a lot larger than I first thought. I can see more Tsero in the distance. I don’t need to Devour any more of them, but getting more Tsero Crystals would be amazing.’
There was no doubt in the Paru’s mind that Tsero Crystals might be the most valuable thing in the world.
‘Firstly, because the Worka couldn’t buy it. This alone means that it’s extremely scarce… Except if those selling them simply refused to sell one to the Worka. Mm…’
He remembered Roka telling him that he had saved billions of people, and that, thanks to him, they would be able to live freely.
‘Live freely… If billions couldn’t rally and buy one, then there are none to buy. Or the price proposed is too high to pay. If I had something that could save a whole civilization… Billions… A whole Planet…’ The Paru scratched his chin. ‘A perpetual payment plan? Since they need it THAT much, then you could increase the price… Since their survival depends on it, then you might make them pay for it… Forever.’
The Paru thought silently and curiously as he wandered towards the Tsero he could see in the distance.
“Some kind of slavery-like contract. Everything you produce or obtain, from now to forever, I get fifty percent of it… Since your people wouldn’t survive without me. I could see something like that happening.” The Paru nodded to himself as he whispered. “Or something worse, to be honest.”
The Paru found another large herd of hundreds of Tsero.
‘I’ll let these ones live peacefully. The Tsero Crystal is all I need… Though they might die without it? Who knows.’
The more he filled his bag with incredibly valuable materials, the more excited the Paru got.
‘Let’s get rich as fuck!’
