This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 475 - : BS Leader ×· BS Tycoon √

With all the mana ores and skill stones sorted, Rita finally pulled out the real prize—Snowfield Pact.

She gave B80234615 a light tap.

"So, how do I use this? Just ignite it near the Golden Tree?

If I manage to get a Golden Tree Withered Leaf, will this upgrade it into something better?"

B80234615: "Yes, but if you want to maximize its value, I suggest using it on Golden Tree Buds.

This Snowfield Pact can make ten buds bloom.

At the very least, use it on Golden Tree Leaves…

Otherwise, it'd be a complete waste."

Rita frowned. She had only ever obtained withered leaves.

"So, where do Withered Leaves rank compared to buds? Are they directly below?"

B80234615: "Withered Leaf → Withered Branch → Tree Leaf → Bud → Blossom → Fruit."

"The highest possible reward is a Golden Tree Seed."

"With enough resources, you could cultivate your own Golden Tree.

So far, only three players have ever achieved it."

Buds, huh…

That's two full tiers above what she had.

She only got her withered leaf thanks to a perfect combination of timing, opportunity, and effort.

If she wanted to leap two entire tiers up to a bud…

B80234615: "Also, each Snowfield Pact expires after 266 days.

After that, the snow fragrance will fully dissipate within a single Starsea day."

Nivalis: "WHAT?! It has a time limit?!"

B80234615: "Yes.

Snowfield Pact was never meant to exist permanently.

The Moon God accidentally created it in memory of an old friend.

It can only last for 266 days."

But that wasn't the worst part.

B80234615 did a quick scan of the glass containing the Snowfield Pact.

"The one in your hand only has 157 days left."

Rita's expression finally shifted.

266 days? That was fine.

But 157?

World Battlegrounds opened twice a month—on the 1st and 15th.

Even if she participated every single time, she could only enter ten more Divine Games before it expired.

Meaning…

If she wanted to fully utilize the Snowfield Pact,

she would need to obtain an event reward two tiers higher in just ten games.

Rita shoved the Snowfield Pact into Magician's Wisdom Tooth and sighed.

She needed to rethink her entire strategy.

After spending the night at Dragon Island, Rita returned home.

She still had 78 remaining mana ores that didn't contain skill stones.

She had already confirmed with B80234615—

Their main value was in skill stones.

But different worlds had their own ways of using them.

She decided to sell 60 of them to Eclipse Vanguard and keep 18 for Apache.

The former would give her gold or resources, while the latter wasn't a loss either—

Apache treated her like a true student.

If he discovered any valuable alchemy recipes from these ores, he'd definitely teach her.

With those affairs handled, her next goal was Lania Kaia.

She was going to go all-in on collecting World Graveyards.

And this time, she wasn't picky.

She'd even buy from Eclipse Vanguard if needed.

The more World Graveyards she had, the safer she'd be—

Next time she died, she wanted enough spares to avoid losing her key.

When Shadow.Q arrived at the restaurant's private room, she wasn't alone.

She brought along two special Divine Gift players.

As soon as they entered, their eyes locked onto Nivalis—but Rita could feel it.

They weren't just looking at the dragon.

They were secretly searching for something.

They were looking for her second pet.

Shadow.Q discreetly scanned the room.

Just as she was about to give up, she noticed something floating near Rita's ear.

A tiny, glowing cube.

At first glance, it looked transparent—but it emitted a cold blue light.

It actually… matched Nivalis pretty well.

Shadow.Q, as blunt as ever, pointed at it.

"Is this your new pet?"

Rita absentmindedly scratched B80234615 with her finger.

"Yeah."

Shadow.Q: "Selling it?"

Rita was about to immediately refuse—

But then she hesitated.

Wait a minute.

This is a business opportunity.

Instead of answering, she placed 60 mana ores on the table.

"Check these out first. Let me think."

While Shadow.Q and the two players began inspecting the goods,

Rita spoke to B80234615 in her mind.

"Can you convert other players' accessory slots into pet slots?"

B80234615: "Of course. You already did it. That's what the skill [Shatter & Reconstruct] is for."

Rita quickly pulled up her skill list.

She had already reviewed the strongest skills before.

How did she miss this?

[Shatter & Reconstruct] (S-Rank):

All things are just programs. Use this skill to shatter and reassemble equipment slots, accessory slots, or pet slots.

Conversion Ratio: 4 equipment slots = 2 accessory slots = 1 pet slot Each player can only convert once No cooldown

It works.

While the players were still evaluating the ores, Rita turned to Shadow.Q.

"It's possible.

Two equipment slots can become one accessory slot.

Two accessory slots can become one pet slot."

Shadow.Q immediately pulled out her phone.

She was already sending the info to Eclipse Vanguard's strategy team.

At first glance, pet slots were superior.

But in practice—

Pets were expensive.

A second pet meant more upkeep, which would slow down a player's overall progression.

Finding a good pet wasn't easy.

And even if you found one, you had to afford it.

Just look at Nivalis—

Rita never let her go without food, entertainment, or luxuries.

Even at the bare minimum, her monthly expenses exceeded 1,000 gold.

And that didn't even include allowance.

Plus, pet contracts were expensive.

Accessories, on the other hand, could be swapped at will and resold when they weren't needed.

Pets? Not so much.

But that didn't mean this business wasn't worth pursuing.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

The second pet slot was a luxury meant for top-tier players.

And high-level players had no problem exchanging legendary accessories for rare artifacts.

It wouldn't affect them much.

In short—

This was a perfect business for whales.

So when Shadow.Q casually suggested,

"666 gold per conversion?"

Rita flatly countered.

"Triple it."

Shadow.Q: "What happened to being BS's leader?"

Rita: "Not interested.

I just want to be BS's richest player."

Shadow.Q: "That's disgusting."

Rita: "So are you buying?"

Shadow.Q: "…Of course."

Rita: "…"

You had the guts to offer me 666 gold?!
