Napsia Empire, Danafu City-State.

Somewhere outside the Rococo Manor.

A few maids were serving beside a man.

A blond youth, who was deep in thought, was standing in front. 

The name of this youth was Mike. From the moment Mike opened his eyes, he had already arrived at this strange world with swords and magic. It was a world with wizards and mages. 

After a few hours, Mike had accepted his new identity and integrated into it.

At this time, a coachman passing by in a carriage saw the noble viscount and took off his hat to salute him.

"Viscount, how is everything?"

Mike also smiled and nodded at the coachman. "Everything is fine. Monroe, send my regards to the noble count."

At this time, the man called Monroe got off the carriage and began to chat with Mike.

"The count is playing chess with the king. Haha."

"By the way, Mike, I have a batch of crystals in my hands. Are you interested? Maybe you have the courage to find a wizard and sell them. You can also make a lot of fortune."

As Monroe spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket. The bag was full. He then pulled out one crystal, and sure enough, an amethyst came into view. Thereafter, he immediately put the crystal back.

Amethyst could be used by wizards, mages, and alchemists. However, amethyst was less useful to mages and alchemists, so they could only make more money by selling it to wizards.

However, based on Mike's experience in his previous life, wherever wizards were, monsters would follow.

In order to make money, Mike had to risk his life. Selling amethyst would not be a long-term solution.

Mike looked at this assortment of things and frowned. Monroe must have thought the same, so he asked someone else to sell it for him.

After thinking for a while, Mike shook his head.

Monroe saw that Mike didn't know what was good for him, so he grumbled unhappily, "Humph! If it weren't for the recent war in the north and the struggle of Count Manhelik's family, this batch of amethyst wouldn't have fallen into the hands of humans. Don't regret it if you miss this."

Originally, Monroe's goal today was to find the area where alchemists would frequent. These alchemists were very difficult to deal with and had strange temperaments. Usually, those aloof and divine beings could not be seen, so it would be a bit troublesome to find them. It was also not good to offend them either.

Monroe had just passed by Mike and wanted to sell the crystals to him. But then, a down-and-out noble like Mike should be eager to have such a way to make money. This time, however, Mike actually rejected him.

This made Monroe a little angry, but when he thought of the sun setting, finding alchemists would become even harder.

Seeing this, Monroe did not waste any more words. He immediately put away the amethyst and got on the carriage to rush to the area where alchemists would go.

As the count's personal butler, Monroe helped him to buy and sell these things in his spare time. The count was the king of gemstones in the city-state. He could be considered rich, and his time was much more precious than other people.

As for the reason why Mike was introduced to such a dangerous business like buying and selling amethysts…

Mike himself was very adept.

After all, as the son of an impoverished viscount, Mike still had some wealth in the Imperial City.

However, Mike didn't think that the count was aware of the fact that Mike's father never actually left anything to him. His inheritance in the Imperial City had already been sold because he had to pay off his debts.

Anyway, this news had only happened recently, so it was understandable that the count did not know.

As for the matter of reselling the crystals...

It was probably because the count had investigated and found out that their family had a magic mineral vein. Hence, the count dared to come to them for a more private negotiation.

Unfortunately, there would always be a day when the resources in the mining industry would be exhausted. That magic mineral vein had only been maintained for less than 60 years. When it was finally passed down to the original owner of Mike's current body, the family was already declining. It would be difficult to change the extravagant lifestyle from before. As a result, the assets were not enough to make ends meet in the midst of the decline.

Just a few years ago, the previous owner's father died from a serious illness. The father even directly handed over the burden of the household to the original owner…..

Hence, Mike guessed that Monroe had also seen through this and handed over the task of selling amethysts to him.

However, resorting to buying and selling amethysts would not cut it in the long run.

If Mike continued to rely on the magic ore, which was almost depleted, he would not be able to make ends meet in a few years.

Thinking of this, Mike frowned. He had to ponder it carefully.

Could it be that Mike can only try his luck in the outside world?

According to the memories of this original body, Danafu City was the richest central city in the kingdom. All kinds of nobles, powerhouses, and even the king, lived here. However, the magical beasts and neighboring countries did not know what had happened in the past few years. The strength of the city simply increased greatly.

Beyond the Danafu City, the outside world was very dangerous, and the incident of Count Manhelik mentioned by Monroe had a great background.

Count Manhelik was a noble from a regime of monarchs who had jurisdiction over the border areas. He was equivalent to the commander of a kingdom's border defense region and was the kingdom's first line of defense against external invasion.

Throughout the years of war and chaos, they had always relied on the knights-errant who had guarded the border for generations to maintain this line of defense. The battle achievements of the Manhelik family had a history of 300 years. It became the subject of the most heartfelt songs played by bards within a hundred miles.

And recently, the strongest knight-errant of their family had been seriously injured.

If such an incomparably powerful family could actually end up seriously injured in a battle against demon dwellers, then what about the ordinary people?

Moreover, in this world, amidst the current era, bandits, monsters, diseases, and natural disasters wantonly ran rampant. The transportation system was not as developed as the modern world. This was clearly apparent when people got sick or suffered any injuries on the way out.

More importantly, according to the memories of the body that Mike had transmigrated into, the previous owner was mostly reliant on his father. His measly funds were spent on eating, drinking, and having fun.

The previous owner could not carry a sword, and he was not proficient in magic. Even after spending a few years in the Gnardon Church of Magic School, the original body only learned how to perform tricks to tease girls.

Outside Danafu City, the border between the northern nomads and southern farmers could be located a few hundred kilometers to the west. This was a no man's land. It consisted of a vast forest where unknown wild beasts and ferocious magical beasts lived. These creatures were all active in this area.

Given such, the area could be considered the dividing line between civilization and wilderness.

In spite of that, if Mike adopted the way of living of the previous lord, he thought that even if he held the title of an old aristocrat, he would probably be no different from a commoner in a few years. In fact, his situation might even be a little worse.

Mike's brain had no choice but to work quickly.

At this moment, something suddenly occurred.

[Ding! Detected the host's consciousness. Binding it to the invincible gym system.]

[The host will be upgraded simultaneously if others train in the gym. The higher the number of people who train and the more powerful they are, the stronger the host will become. At the same time, people who train in the gym will also be able to gain additional fitness effects.]

[Your gym is in the center of the city. Quickly go and take a look.]

Hearing this notification, Mike felt a wave of confusion.
