The branch president didn't let Eryi wait too long.
"Is there something special going on today?" Ever since Eryi helped the Sunset City Adventurers Guild clear out some of the old magic cores, the branch leader had grown fond of her. This was enough for him to brag about at the annual Adventurers Guild meeting.
"Still about the acquisition of magic cores. Do you still have magic cores like the last time?"
Not counting the deposits provided by the magicians for the storage devices, Eryi now had over 1,500 magic coins. If she successfully acquired the magic core and converted these coins into energy, she would be able to obtain 2.7 million energy points.
Combined with the 2.3 million energy points in the account now, it is enough to upgrade all skills that are effective against viruses. The extra energy points can also be used to purchase several more skill spreaders worth 300,000 energy points.
She also needs to buy a few more self-service savings machines. In order to be able to respond to the virus outbreak in a timely manner, she needs to stock up enough full-level soothing techniques in advance.
"How much do you need this time?" The branch president felt even happier when he heard Eryi's request.
Eryi had purchased about two hundred gold coins last time. She estimated in her mind, "If possible, I'd like to buy about twenty times as much as last time."
The branch leader quickly calculated in his mind. These mismatched magic cores were, after all, a minority. The amount Eryi had purchased last time was already half of their current inventory. The supply of these magic cores wouldn't increase significantly anytime soon, but that didn't matter.
"Do you need it urgently?" The branch president leaned forward, as he had a good idea.
"It's urgent. Ideally, I can get the amount I need within seven days." The next wave of limb regeneration patients could be scheduled for treatment in six days. Qiao Li found several familiar names on the patient list. Their owners were wealthy, and they would receive even more coins.
"No problem, give me two days." The branch president agreed immediately, with an unprecedentedly sincere smile on his face.
"I have another request." Eryi took out a box from the storage space: "I want to sell this."
"This is……"
The Adventurer's Guild Empire Headquarters.
"President." A well-mannered man placed a letter on the desk in the president's office. "Letter from the Sunset City branch."
"What kind of letter is this, sent at such an inopportune time? It's definitely not good news." The president was sitting in the rocking chair by the window, not wanting to get up. In his hand was a new work of Dunba that he had asked someone to buy in Sunset City.
"Or should I read it to you?"
"Forget it." The president reluctantly got up from the rocking chair, walked to the desk, and cut open the envelope with a paper cutter: "Let me see what bad luck is..."
The president's expression changed from relaxed to cheerful, and finally to solemn.
"Let me think about it." He began to pace back and forth, frowning. Finally, he stopped and asked the man waiting beside him, "How many low-level magic cores do our branches have in reserve? Ideally, level one or two."
"That's not necessarily true. Can I get last quarter's report?"
"Forget it, I'll go check it myself." The president held the letter in his hand and hurried to the door of the president's office. Before leaving, he said, "Prepare an emergency contact for me. Connect with the Sunset City branch and have their branch president come over immediately to reimburse the transmission fee."
He had reason to suspect that the Sunset City branch president was mentally ill.
The president of the Adventure Guild Headquarters and the president of the Sunset City branch were sitting in the magic carriage.
They had just come out of the Temple of Light in the royal capital.
"I told you," the branch president said seriously, "there's nothing wrong with my mental health."
"Okay, now I know you're fine." The president didn't want to dwell on this matter any further. "Is the dragon crystal thing true? Are you sure it's authentic?"
"Yes, I swear to the God of Light." The branch president lowered his voice and said, "We went to the Magic Guild and the Believers' Guild for appraisal, and there was no problem."
"Where does the item come from?" Something like Dragon Crystal is definitely not easy to obtain.
"This is the payment given to her by the S-rank adventurer as consultation fee. I believe you have heard about the previous incident involving Lilith and Gallop."
The president rested his palms on his knees and tapped his legs lightly with his index fingers from time to time.
"That's true... Dragon Crystal isn't very useful to most people. It's better to get some coins, but..." The guild leader changed the subject: "She didn't ask for coins."
"Yes, after discussion, we decided to purchase it with 30,000 magic coins, of which at least 10,000 magic coins will be paid with low-level crystal cores, which is just right for our situation." In fact, Eryi originally requested that all expenses be deducted with magic cores.
But a rough calculation suggests a minimum of 200,000 to 300,000 pieces are needed. Magic cores are in high demand, with buyers everywhere. Even with a high circulation volume, inventory is limited.
The Adventure Guild doesn't have that many magic cores in stock, but if the branches pool their resources, they can still get some low-level magic cores worth 10,000 magic coins.
If you lose low-level magic cores, you can collect them again; if you lose coins, you can earn them again, but it is different with dragon crystals.
Although the value of dragon crystal has declined in peacetime, 30,000 magic coins is definitely a suitable price. If Eryi was not in a hurry to sell it and wanted to exchange it for a large number of magic cores, the value would be even higher.
"Even those old magic cores are needed. What on earth needs so many magic cores?" The president said this in confusion, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
"These old magic cores can also be used to deduct coins. We can give them all to her." The branch president was very enthusiastic.
This time, he accomplished two such big things for the Adventure Guild at once, and the achievement was enough to be recorded in his personal file.
These things may seem insignificant now, at most they'll earn you some bonuses, but once the president of the Empire Headquarters steps down...
A remote town.
A red-beaked bird with fluffy feathers flew into the dilapidated adventurer's guild.
"Poor thing," the receptionist said, pulling out a paper cutter from the desk. "One, two... five, how many letters are you sending? Is something serious happening again?"
A letter was taken off its feet, and the red-billed bird quickly flew away from the Adventure Guild.
"Let me see... Magic core delivery, all of them?"
A certain city.
The pharmacist apprentice went to the Adventurer's Guild as usual. As soon as he entered, he greeted the familiar receptionist: "Same old story, I need some magic cores. Wow, why are you so busy?"
"Sorry, the magic core you need is currently out of stock. Please come back in a few days."
"Ah?" What he wanted was not a rare item. It was a first-level water magic core, which was everywhere in the nearby woods. Adventurers could easily get some.
"Hey, we've suddenly received a notice to hand in all our low-level magic cores." The receptionist was busy taking inventory in the record book. Each branch maintained its own separate ledger, and receiving such a sudden order had them a bit flustered. They needed to leave behind the minimum number of magic cores required for the commission.
"Why?"
The receptionist shrugged. "Who knows? It's not difficult to acquire these magic cores anyway. They should be available in a few days."
The pharmacist apprentice thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd better post a commissioned task. You can't cancel it if I post it." If you cancel it, he will have to pay a penalty.
A small town in the border area.
A magic apprentice in a border mage tower went to the Adventurer's Guild to buy magic cores.
"The low-level magic cores are gone?" He was a little surprised. He had successfully purchased the third-level magic cores that his mentor needed, but the low-level magic cores that were usually available for purchase were unusually sold out. "Forget it, I'll go kill some monsters myself and find me some adventurers who are good at obtaining magic cores."
On this day, adventurer guilds across the empire received letters from headquarters, ordering all first- and second-level magic cores, as well as outdated magic cores, to be sent to the Sunset City branch.
The Adventurer's Guild branch is located in a small town in a remote area. The Adventurer's Guild branches with teleportation arrays send people to collect magic cores and centrally transport items.
It is not always easy to block the news, and the news that the Adventure Guild is transferring low-level magic cores on a large scale began to spread.
The fact that Eryi was the culprit behind all this naturally didn't stop those interested from investigating. However, none of this had anything to do with Eryi. After receiving the first batch of magic cores, she successfully raised the energy reserve in the mall to five million and reduced her outings.
The magic acquisition business could no longer bring her more benefits, and the magic acquisition trips to Dark Lake City were changed from once every other day to once a week.
The magic apprentices in Anze City were not surprised by this result. They had long known that such simple income would not last long and had been prepared.
They didn't spend all the coins they had earned from selling magic power, but instead used them carefully to learn magic. This improved their combat effectiveness as adventurers.

Original plane, Z City Airport.
A man with frizzy light blond hair that had obviously been bleached and dyed multiple times was wearing sunglasses and holding a lollipop in his mouth. He was scratching his short hair constantly.
"This is such a crappy system! Not only did you let me travel around the world to livestream and earn energy, but you actually left my body alone in the house with no one to manage it. When I came back, my hair was covered in lice! My image is ruined, how are you going to compensate me?"
"Is the information about that person you mentioned correct? Why is her phone always turned off when I call it so many times?"
[Replying to the host, to prevent the virus outbreak in your plane, you must contact the owner of this plane's healing station system and provide her with all your assistance.]
“Tsk.”
"No," the blond man put down his phone. "We all have systems. Can't your systems communicate directly with each other?"
【……】
[Unfortunately, I had some unpleasant experiences with her system.]
