Chapter 994 Tamuka in the Human World
"Let's use prefabricated emergency materials for the flower petals," Xia Shou thought.

He reviewed the manual work he already owed and mentally calculated the time required to plant the flowers, confirming that it was a very troublesome and large project.

Planting flowers isn't difficult; even if it requires watering them with blood, it's nothing to Xia Shou.

The biggest obstacle here is perseverance.

He had to take meticulous care of these plants, flattering the flowers every day like a eunuch trying to please the emperor, before he could harvest a satisfactory finished product.

The perseverance required during this period is a tremendous test for Xia Shou, whose personal time is already very limited.

"I wonder if it can be interrupted. If there's an emergency, asking someone to take care of things for a day or two shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xia Shou thought to himself.

I really don't know how that flower grower turned into a vicious criminal.

This ceremony is so time-consuming and energy-intensive, it doesn't seem like it can be held frequently. The more I think about it, the more curious I become. Could it be that the other party has a simplified version?
However, even if there were a simplified version, there's no time to look for it now; we must reduce the number of skills first.

Currently, he possesses the following skills: Seeking Death, Reaching the Pinnacle, Three-Person Waltz, Superpower Bank, Mirror Demon's Information Scissors, Impermanent Eyes, Delayed Blade, Before the Rain of Wounds Falls, This Might Is Unrivaled.

It has a total of nine skills.

If we want to reduce the number to five or less, we can temporarily lend out two from the Superpower Bank.

Even if two are lent out, there are still seven left. They must be combined at least twice more to bring the quantity down to the passing grade.

With the Triple Ritual of the Golden Mandala, the result of the fusion is now controllable, but which two skills are better to combine?
Now we must be very careful about fusion, because he will have fewer opportunities to acquire skills in the future, and the upgraded Shadow will chew up corpses below LV5 into scraps.

It is foreseeable that the efficiency of acquiring skills will be greatly reduced in the future, but the advantage is that we will be able to consume some higher-level corpses.

The inability to consume low-level corpses weakens the Shadow's utility, but it's clear that the Shadow isn't limited to consuming high-level corpses.

After devouring Sprite, Xia Shou discovered that the skill the shadow had acquired this time was not an ordinary skill, but a "transformation skill" that he had never seen before. This skill could be completely transformed into one's own power through training, which should be one of the great benefits brought by the evolved shadow.

However, the fusion skills are still a headache. It would be great if the lending capacity of the Superpower Bank could be increased, which would give us more room to maneuver.

Perhaps we should use the remaining remnants to optimize the Superpower Bank?
Xia Shou read through the introduction to the Superpower Bank again, paying particular attention to the name Tamuka mentioned in it.

One of the costs of the Superpower Bank is stated as follows: You have taken over the ability of the lender chosen by "Tamuka". You need to work for Tamuka regularly, and Tamuka will reward you handsomely.

Xia Shou remembered that Edward had mentioned the name Tamuka last time, saying that someone had copied Tamuka's list of moneylenders and that his predecessor was An Gangxiongwu.

Since the name of this supposedly named being has been mentioned, this skill is no ordinary skill. Like the Delay Blade and the power of the Blood Demon, it is infused with an aura of a higher dimension.

However, so many months have passed and there has been no movement from this Tamuka, which shows that he is a very tolerant and kind person.

Since the price mentioned that the skill he took from An Gangxiongwu was chosen by Tamuka, and he also had the responsibility of being Tamuka's lender, then perhaps... finding Tamuka could improve the effectiveness of the Superpower Bank.

With this in mind, Xia Shou searched for information about Tamuka. He had also searched for Tamuka when he first acquired An Gangxiongwu's superpower, but there was too much information about Tamuka on the Bureau of Control's website, and much of it was completely irrelevant.

The name Tamuka is not a unique title; they were a wealthy merchant class, represented by the ancient Babylonian kingdom, and held an important legal position in the Code of Hammurabi.

These people were mainly engaged in commercial trade, land management and credit activities, and ransom captured soldiers with silver.

Therefore, similar names were used in many places, which made it impossible for Xia Shou to find the Tamuka he was looking for.

He also tried adding tags such as named, acting on behalf of, and deity to narrow down his search, but still couldn't find the information he wanted.

But now that his access privileges have been increased, he might be able to find the relevant information.

As Xia Shou pressed the search button, some highly confidential information appeared on the screen.

Xia Shou randomly clicked on one of them. The first page contained a confidentiality notice, followed by a reminder that if he needed to access the information, he should go to the reading room.

These are measures taken to prevent authorized personnel from reading confidential files anytime, anywhere, and to prevent unauthorized individuals from logging into authorized accounts to access them.

If you want to see classified information, you have to go to the Bureau of Control's reading room. That place is actually no different from an office; you can think of it as a private office with surveillance and listening capabilities.

Xia Shou took a number outside the consultation room, then walked into the consultation room, passing by the small cubicles with their doors tightly closed, and finally arrived at the one he had booked.

He went in, closed the door, and Xia Shou logged into the official website with practiced ease. He then opened the file he had seen before, but this time, instead of a confidentiality agreement, a red exclamation mark warning popped up.

[WARNING! The content you are about to read has been approved by Tamuka. Please abide by the confidentiality agreement and do not disseminate this information in any way that is not approved by the Control Bureau!]

【Tamuka】

Tamuka is a named person under the command of the Crescent Moon. He was promoted to named person in the past through his achievements in lending and exchanging.

In modern times, Tamuka's human form often appears in the style of intermediaries, salespeople, and bank employees from various countries and regions. He is a named individual who simultaneously possesses a large number of human forms and can walk in the present world.

Tamuka's human form has almost no combat ability and appears normal under monitoring, but it can indeed use extraordinary power. Researchers have tentatively attributed this phenomenon to the secret authority of the Crescent Moon.

The physical condition of Tamuka human beings varies, but they are generally in good health. They exercise and live like ordinary people, and may even form families and reproduce.

According to Tamuka's own account, babies born to human hosts are no different from human babies, and the current conclusion reached by the control bureau is indeed this.

Tamukas (representing all human beings) often engage in lending, brokerage, and intermediary work, and also possess the ability to lend and borrow inseparable supernatural powers.
