Chapter 47: Luis' Disappointment.
Pietro happily signed the contract, and the deal was made. He got the money and Luis got the mine. Normally, it shouldn't be possible for things to be this easy. But Luis was already prepared with his family's wide connections.
So Pietro just needed to sign, and the ownership was transferred to Luis as of this moment.
"Sorry that I couldn't give you much hospitality."
"Nah, it's fine. We were the ones who came unannounced." Luis said with a laugh. Now that the mine was in his hands, there was no need to act cold.
With some cordial words, they finally left the place. Pietro also happily came to send them off to the car. "Please come again next time."
Until the car was out of his sight, Pietro stood there waving happily. "Finally sold that damn mine."
***
Inside the car, looking at the contract, a smirk appeared on Luis' face. The contracts in this world are signed with magic ink and then injected with the individual's mana. Hence, they can't be forged. Otherwise, Luis wouldn't have gone through so much trouble. There are easy ways to handle it.
"Where to, Young Master?" Jack asked.
"To the Mine," Luis answered while keeping the contract inside his mana bracelet.
Although Jack didn't ask, from his look, it was easy to figure out that he was very curious at the moment. He wanted to know why would young master go through all that trouble to buy an empty mine. But he didn't dare ask anything.
Luis was aware of Jack's thoughts. Unfortunately, he had no intention of revealing it.
No matter how loyal Jack is to his family. Some things shouldn't be revealed and are better to be secret. That was the case for Omni Ore. This is a metal the Overlords would kill for.
As per the original story, Pietro didn't know about the Omni Ore. Due to its good mana conductivity, he just thought it was a better quality Irphine from his mine. If he had tested a little more, he would have understood what kind of treasure he was holding.
But Pietro at that time was already happy thinking that the energy inside his mine might have returned and it already started to form Ores. Looking at the Omni Ore, he thought the Irphine quality had also improved.
So he decided to make a magic sword as a gift for the protagonist who solved his trouble by defeating the monsters nesting inside his mine and bringing him such good news.
That was the birth of Omni Sword.
Although the sword was good. It was only made by tempering the ore by mixing it with some strong alloy and magic engineering to form magic veins in the sword to unleash magic attacks.
In simple words, the sword was just enough to be a low-grade magic weapon, but when such a great treasure, Omni Ore is used. How can it be simple? It became a magic sword of high quality.
But because of his inexperience and poor skill in handling such great material. He just downgraded the potential of the Omni Ore.
In his ignorance, he wasted a top-grade rare material to create a high-grade magic sword.
After the monsters were killed and the Omni Ore was removed. A mana vein was found inside the mine. The quality of Irphine Ores improved and another kind of material was found inside the mine, which was the start of Pietro's road to success. It was Mana Metal.
Although it's not a rare material, it is still a pricey and highly anticipated material in the industry.
And this is going to bring a lot of gains for the Suarez family.
Luis also had plans for which a lot of Mana Metal was needed in the future. Now that they will have an abundant supply of it. There won't be trouble finding a supplier for large quantities of Mana Metal.
While he was immersed in his thoughts, they were already out of the city and entered Servail Mountains.
Some time later, Jack's voice sounded.
"Young master, from here we have to walk on foot."
Luis nodded and got out of the car. Looking at the forest in front of him, Luis let out a relaxed sigh. As for encountering any dangerous monsters, he doesn't care. He has a strong guard with him.
"Let's hurry up," Luis said.
It took a 5-minute walk from there as they arrived at the entrance of the mine. Luis saw a wheeled cart near the entrance, probably used to carry the ores.
"So many Slimes are gathered here." Luis saw the Slimes snuggled together inside the cart. He looked at them curiously for some time, but then shook his head in disappointment.
"All of them are Common Slimes."
He generated a small orb of lightning and casually threw it inside the cart, then directly walked inside the Mine beside Jack.
*Boom*
All the Slimes alongside the cart were destroyed. If there was any Mutated Slime, he would have been interested. Common Slimes are useless.
They went further deep inside the mine. As he curiously looked around, Luis noticed that the only monsters present were all herbivores.
He was speechless. 'Is that the reason Adventures of Almast City doesn't even bother to clean this place?'
All the monsters are of G grade and the strongest one is F grade. Luis didn't even bother to kill them and asked Jack to clean them up.
As they went further inside the mine, he expected stronger monsters to appear, but he found nothing. The same herbivores.
'What's going on?' Luis was confused. In the game, although there were weak monsters but there was still one particularly strong one.
'Where is it?'
They have been walking for almost 30 minutes and they were already deep inside the mine.
'Is this different in reality?'
Putting the matter of the monster aside. Luis focused on searching for the Omni Ore.
Luis focused on using his Perception to find the flow of energy inside the mine.
If Pietro had thought of buying an energy-detecting artifact. He wouldn't have wasted the last 10 years.
