System's POV

Chapter 61 He’s A Good Kid, Just A Shameless One

"Alright, now, off you go," Theodore stated. "All of you only have one hour to choose the items that you want. Once you make your decision, just tell me what you want, and my two assistants will accommodate you."

There were two other adults in the Treasury, who were both of the Grandmaster Rank.

He didn't want to intimidate the kids too much, so he only asked two Grandmasters to accompany him in the treasury to watch over them.

Mikhail followed behind his little brother as they browsed the items that were on display.

The two didn't even bother to look at the weapons section, and only focused on the things that their father couldn't produce and that was Avatars.

The Wanderers who fought against the monsters in Solterra had a small chance to get their Avatars.

These would be directly sent into their own spatial inventory, which would become readily available to them during their First Wandering.

All Items, including Weapons, Artifacts, and Avatars, that they gained in Solterra would be sent to this spatial inventory.

The only things that couldn't be placed inside it were Monster Cores, which had to be stored in other storage devices like storage rings, storage bags, and similar artifacts.

Since Thirteen was confident that he and his father could craft any kind of equipment they desired, they just focused on getting what they couldn't craft and that was Avatars.

"You can pick one that you like, Brother," Thirteen said. "I'll pick the remaining two."

"Okay," Mikhail nodded and wandered off to the Rank 4 Shelf, where the strongest Avatars in the Outer Treasury of the Remington Family were located.

Thirteen only smiled at his Brother's choice because it was very typical of children his age.

Since he wanted the strongest, it was only normal to choose Rank 4 Avatars, which he would be able to use in his Third Wandering.

For the time being, these Avatars would be transferred over to their father or mother because they were the only ones in the family who could summon them.

'I better ask Grandma to help me get some Avatars from the Leventis Family, too,' Thirteen thought. 'Preferably those that specialize in the Fire Element so it can help Pops with his crafting needs.'

Blacksmiths usually look for Fire Elemental Jinns or Majins to help them melt High-Ranking Metals, as well as Monster Parts.

The only reason why his Father was able to make Mythical-Ranked Equipment was due to the fact that Thirteen had modified his forge using Rune Magic, to make the flames hotter, and more powerful.

His father's current forge didn't have this kind of boost because he wanted Gerald to build a solid foundation.

They were desperate for money years ago, so Thirteen had no choice but to supplement what they were lacking with Rune Magic.

After two years of being a Blacksmith, Thirteen deemed that his father was now ready to use Fire Elementals to help him in his craft.

Also, he thought that it was also about time that he taught his mother the Divine-Ranked Martial Technique, Ten Thousand Concoctions, making her an Alchemist.

'Mother also needs a Fire Elemental, but since she is a beginner, I need to look for something that she could work with until she becomes proficient. A Fire Fox would be the optimum choice because it is a very reliable helper, as well as a gentle partner.'

Fire Foxes were only Rank 3 Monsters, so they weren't hard to find. However, getting their avatars wasn't a simple task.

They lived in groups of five or more, so if someone was planning to hunt them, they must be prepared to deal with many Rank 3 Monsters at once.

Of course, High-Ranking Humans could easily do this. But, that didn't guarantee that they would get their Avatars.

In fact, the higher the Rank, the less chances that they would get anything from lower-ranked Monsters.

Those who had the Rank of Master and above had a very small, to almost non-existent, chance of getting anything from these Monsters, so they no longer actively hunted them.

The One made sure that stronger people wouldn't be able to farm low-ranking Avatars, that they could pass on to the younger generation.

Fortunately, the Remington Family had a Fire Fox in their collection, so Thirteen asked one of the Grandmasters to add it to the rewards that were to be given to his brother.

Since Mikhail was in agreement, the staff collected the Avatar, which was in the form of a miniature crystallized Fire Fox.

This was how people traded their avatars in the world.

They would transform their Avatars into their miniature crystal forms, and hand them over for trade, or auction.

Theodore was paying extra attention to Mikhail and Thirteen, who went straight to the Avatar Section, ignoring everything else.

He wanted to know what the two children were planning to get and, so far, their choices intrigued him.

Mikhail had chosen a Rank 4 Great Eagle, which were commonly used as Flying Mounts.

Thirteen on the other hand chose a Rank 3 Fire Fox and a Rank 3 Ice Fox.

One was known to breathe out fire, while the latter was known to breathe out an icy breath.

After the staff gave Mikhail these three Avatars, Thirteen walked up toward Theodore and looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Mister, can I also get an Avatar of my own?" Thirteen asked shamelessly, making the corner of Theodore's lips twitch.

The Top 6 up to the Top 10, looked at the country bumpkin in disdain because they felt that the brat was going too far.

They had to fight strong monsters in order to be invited to the Remington Clan's Outer Treasury.

Meanwhile, the seven-year-old just tagged along with his brother, and was asking for a treasure as well?

Simply shameless!

"I'm sorry, but only those that have managed to do the challenges can get a treasure from our treasury," Theodore replied.

"But, Mister, I'm not really asking for a treasure," Thirteen blinked his eyes innocently.

"What do you mean?" Theodore frowned. "Didn't you just ask for an Avatar of your own?"

Thirteen nodded. "I did. But, I only plan on getting one of those normal Rank 1 Avatars. I want the Fluffy White Cat Avatar as a gift for my little sister. I'm sure that she will love it."

Theodore's frown eased up after hearing Thirteen's request.

The Fluffy White Cat Avatar wasn't really a Rank 1 Monster.

In fact, it was just one of the common Monsters that wasn't even strong enough to reach Rank 1.

Since there were no classifications lower than Rank 1, they simply labeled it a Rank 1 Monster.

However, it was very common to make the Fluffy White Cat a pet, instead of a Fighting Monster.

Aside from looking cute, it was basically harmless.

"Fine," Theodore replied. "You can get a Fluffy White Cat. Treat it as a gift from the Remington Family."

The other children, who heard Thirteen's choice, no longer felt that the latter was taking advantage of the Remington Family's kindness.

Since he only asked for a Common Monster as an Avatar, it wouldn't really matter because it was simply a house pet for the rich families to play with.

When the staff handed thirteen the crystallized statue of the Fluffy White Cat, he thanked Theodore for his generosity.

He knew that asking for more would just make Theodore look down on him, so he took the safest route and got a pet for his sisters, Shasha and Remi, to play with.

The Fire Fox and the Ice Fox would be given to his mother, allowing her to practice pill crafting.

As for his Father, he planned to visit the Leventis Family and ask his Grandpa to give them one.

He was certain that Arthur wouldn't disagree because he was also looking forward to Gerald crafting more Mythical Rank Equipment that would be added to their Leventis Family's collection.

Currently, the Five Monarchs and the Nine Thrones of Pangea still didn't know that Arthur and Lady Callista were both in possession of two pieces of Mythical Equipment each.

If they knew, it would cause a commotion that would make the Leventis Family the hotest topic in private discussions within the powerful families of the world.

Having gotten what they needed from the treasury, Theodore led the children back to the party where their Guardians were waiting for them.

Half a day later, the party came to an end.

After promising Elijah and Vivian to have another meet up, this time with Alessia, they were escorted back home in the same helicopter that brought them to the Remington Clan's Residence.

However, before they left, Thirteen asked his Uncle if he could keep the Helicopter as a gift, which the latter readily refused.

"That Godson of ours sure is troublesome," Vivian shook her head helplessly as she looked at the helicopter that was growing smaller and smaller in the distance.

"Indeed." Elijah sighed. "But, he's a good kid. Just a shameless one."

Vivian covered her lips with her hand and giggled. "Agreed."

When the Helicopter could no longer be seen, the couple returned inside the residence, and rested for the night.

It was way past midnight, and their children were already asleep.

Even so, meeting Gerald's children was a pleasant surprise.

They also made sure to remind their son and daughter to get along with Mikhail and Thirteen once they entered Solterra, where almost everyone, including one's own family, was an enemy… until proven otherwise.
