"Increase!" He answered without hesitation, having just rejected the system.

In an instant, the gold coins in Guan Wen's money bag began to surge, increasing a hundredfold, from 1,900 gold coins to 159,000 gold coins.

The entire money bag instantly became bulging, larger than his body. The money bag itself was not made of good quality, so it was burst open instantly, and more than 100,000 gold coins fell to the floor with a clatter.

These gold coins are so shiny that even with the windows closed and little light around them, they still shine brightly and look very tempting.

A look of wild joy flashed in Guan Wen's eyes. If a hundred or so gold coins could be considered as a harvest for an ordinary mercenary in this market, then more than 10,000 gold coins were equivalent to more than a year's income for an elite mercenary. Some mercenaries could not even earn more than 10,000 gold coins in a year.

This amount of money was enough for him to go on a shopping spree in the market. Some caravans and merchants who traveled to various places probably didn't have tens of thousands of gold coins to take out when they arrived at each market.

Guan Wen put several hundred gold coins into his pocket, left the inn, went outside to buy several large money bags, then returned to his room, divided the gold coins into various money bags, hid some under the bed, and then put the rest in his waistband. He then left the room and headed straight for the town's market.

As a fire-based ability user, his cultivation system is completely different from the cultivation system of battle qi used by people in this world.

However, despite the differences in their systems, they are the same in some essential aspects. Although the people here cultivate battle qi, they actually transform battle qi into various kinds of power to unleash. For example, they can use battle qi to create flames, wind, and even ice to reduce heat.

This is exactly the same as that of other superhumans, except that they are born with superpowers and do not need to cultivate complicated battle qi. As soon as energy appears in their bodies, it will be automatically converted into the corresponding superpower.

Therefore, the cultivation resources in this world are also useful to him, and even certain types of battle qi are extremely useful to him.

After wandering around the market for a while, he found a spiritual item that would be useful to him.

Create fire crystals.

Fire crystals are a common item in the markets of this continent, somewhat similar to spirit stones as currency. They are a special spiritual substance that alchemists consume to enhance the power of the flames within their bodies, resulting in richer and more varied flames during alchemy, thus making the resulting pills more effective.

This thing is clearly used to stimulate battle qi and transform it into flames, so it is very useful for fire-type ability users like Guan Wen.

Fire crystals are very cheap because, although they are beneficial to alchemists, they are not crucial for alchemists on this continent. While a rich variety of flame levels can be helpful in refining good pills, they are not decisive. Therefore, this is something that alchemists keep at home, but it is a very common item.

He went into a shop and inquired about the prices, discovering that one gold coin could buy ten fire crystals.

Without hesitation, Guan Wen spent five thousand gold coins to purchase fifty thousand fire-making crystals.

The shop owner was quite astonished, almost mistaking Guan Wen for a rich young master who wanted to learn alchemy. He immediately dispatched his assistant with 50,000 fire-making crystals to deliver them to the inn.

The fifty thousand fire-generating crystals were brought into the hotel room, and the room was instantly filled with them.

Although the sheer number of fire-making scriptures in this world would cost a considerable amount of money, they weren't particularly valuable to them. Therefore, the innkeeper still had many customers. The guests, knowing Guan Wen had bought so many fire-making crystals, didn't seem to care much, instead treating him like a simple-minded rich kid.

After all, making fire crystals doesn't have any particularly practical use. Buying a few hundred is enough. Suddenly buying so many only highlights his ignorance. If he can't use them or sell them, he'll be the one who suffers.

Of course, no one knew that Guan Wen was not from this world at all, which is why they thought that way.

Guan Wen ignored what everyone was thinking. After returning to his room and sending the servants away, he looked at the fire-making crystals scattered on the floor, his face filled with ecstatic joy.

The initial training method for fire-based abilities is quite simple; all it takes is a large accumulation of resources to see tangible results.

Therefore, in the first few dozen levels, the power boost you can get from accumulating a large amount of resources is greater than the power boost you can get from having extraordinary comprehension.

Of course, after cultivating fire-based abilities to the later stages, one needs to gain some understanding of fire-based abilities; simply piling up a large amount of resources will not allow one to improve.

For Guan Wen at this moment, the pile of fire-making crystals in front of him was extremely important, enough to greatly enhance his fire-based abilities.

He arrived at the pile of fire-making crystals, reached out and picked up a fire-making crystal, and immediately heard a system notification in his brain.

"Ding! Fire-generating crystal detected. Would you like to perform a 100x amplification?"

"Amplification!" Guan Wen answered directly. In an instant, the Fire-Creating Crystal in his hand flashed with white light and turned into one hundred Fire-Creating Crystals.

He dared not instantly amplify all the fire-generating crystals, because an instant amplification of 50,000 fire-generating crystals would amount to 5 million fire-generating crystals, enough to burst the house. If the house burst, his secret would probably be lost.

This world is a fantasy world, not the orderly world he comes from. Here, everything is a dog-eat-dog world. If his secret is exposed, these fire-creating crystals may not be safe.

Even with the continuous increase in power, these fire-generating crystals are still enough for him to use.

He threw the hundred amplified crystals into his mouth one by one and swallowed them. As soon as these crystals entered his abdomen, they were instantly neutralized by the fire power within his body.

He was a fire-elemental user, and his body was naturally sensitive to things that were beneficial to fire. With the help of his will, the flames within his body flowed continuously, almost instantly digesting each crystal and fusing it into his body.

As the crystal was digested, the fire power within his body continued to increase.

This feeling is as if the body is filled with some kind of energy, and when a certain threshold is reached, the body will automatically generate a response.
