DESTINY GAMES

She is a woman, her ability is an alpha, and she is beautiful. It was a trifecta of qualities designed to make her expensive. The fact that she can share her ability with others increased the price even further.

She can bestow her mental shields on others so she can be used as a bodyguard of sorts. This shields will be weaker and she can only bestow one on others, but it still made her worth a hefty 10 million dollars.

She was an expensive slave. If not for the fact that her ability was so strong, he wouldn't have considered her. There's others the fact that others would look down on her because she was unranked, so she would be a very weak bodyguard. This made her price still manageable.

Apart from power ratings, she was also not the one with the strongest mental resistance ability. There was a man who could reflect mental attacks back to the source. There was another woman who could devour mental attacks to replenish her focus.

These two cost more than 50 million dollars. But they still weren't the most expensive. There was another woman who could create a mental connection with someone and could absorb every mental attack for them. She cost 100 million dollars.

There was also the option to pay for them with energy stones. The rate was 1 million dollars for one low-quality energy stone containing 100 units of energy. If he had that, he would only need to use 10 of them to get the lady he selected.

It made him grumble, "Dollar is indeed not worth much."

He wanted to buy a null, but he thought it was better to get them outside where they will be cheaper. But he was interested in getting abilities that wouldn't be easy to acquire outside.

One of those abilities was mind communication. With it, he would be able to communicate with a target across any distance. It was a psychic class ability belonging to a guy.

His sex, average handsomeness, and the fact that the ability could only work with one person and that there were better alternatives in the form of mobile phones made his ability obsolete and cheap. He only cost 5 million dollars.

The third slave he found was a null. He had promised himself not to acquire a null, but he couldn't take his eyes off of this lady because her ability enabled her to nullify and resist special tracking abilities.

She cost a hefty 20 million dollars, but he couldn't let her go. He said to himself as he added her to his cart, "It is alright. It will save me time and game points. There is nothing more precious than game points."

His heart ached due to the cost, but he convinced himself to go through with it since the ability was exactly what he needed. There were other abilities that could hide him, but he felt that a null ability would work well with the other null abilities he intended to acquire in the future, so he stuck with the decision.

He felt it was worth it to buy her, but Wrath wasn't so sure. She asked, "Are you sure it is a good idea to spend so much money on a single item?"

He replied with certainty, "It is for my safety, so it is worth it. Besides, an ability like this would be difficult to acquire outside since its wielder will be hard to find."

Wrath nodded and became silent. The last thing he was tempted to buy was a slave with the ability to see the power ratings and abilities of others.

She can't see the temporary or permanent destiny, and she can't see the other abilities awakened by someone. The only thing she could see was their total power ratings and the first ability that they awakened.

He felt that her ability would be useful for noticing dangerous individuals and making better choices, such as not trying to assassinate someone who is stronger than they appear.

Someone like the information broker came to mind when he considered the usefulness of the ability. Unfortunately, by his calculations, he wouldn't have the game points needed to steal her destiny after he was done with the mind shield, mind communication, black mantis, and the null's abilities.

Kelvin approached Astro, who had been waiting patiently for him. The bot didn't look at him in a strange way because of how he had been acting in the past few minutes.

He asked the bot, "Why are your goods so expensive? Are you ripping your customers off?"

"Certainly now, honored guest. The price of the available product is dependent on the quality of the product and the quality of service we offer along with it. We use a wide cocktail of methods to maintain control of the product, which is expensive to create and maintain."

"We also offer tracking and retrieval services free of charge for the first five years. It is our product guarantee that you will enjoy whatever you buy from us."

Kelvin was not impressed. He could imagine that others would appreciate the extra services they offer and the guarantee, but those are just a waste to him. But he couldn't complain about that lest he clue them into his true motive for slaves.

Besides, he doesn't buy their explanation, and he doesn't think his complaint will change anything. He could only move on.

He handed the tablet to Astro and said, "I have made my selection. I noticed that there were no items with omega abilities. Why is that?"

Astro replied, "I am sorry for that inconvenience, honored guest. But it is company policy not to deal with items with omega abilities at all."

The reply took him aback. He asked, "Why?"

Astro was quick to reply, "They are too troublesome to deal with. There is also the fact that the Yggdrasil council of God kings has banned the commercial enslavement and sale of humans with Omega abilities. It is an offense punishable with eternal slavery."
