Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 252 The Promotion of the Drug-Testing Maid and the Daydreaming Dog
The Queen.

Audrey, who was about to leave Backlund, hid in her chemistry lab, with the great dream dog Susie squatting beside her.

Audrey held a bottle in each hand, containing the potion that Mr. Fool had given her as a sacrifice a few hours earlier.

"Building block maker" and "armed archaeologist".

She first brought over a dog bowl and poured the "Armed Archaeologist" potion into it all at once.

I glanced at Susie, the golden retriever, and imagined what she would look like as a muscular, fierce dog.

Susie looked somewhat bewildered by Audrey's complicated gaze, tilted her head, and uttered a single syllable.

"Wang."

A transparent, colorless, jelly-like potion was poured into Susie's dog bowl, and Audrey moved a chair over and sat down beside her.

"Drink up, Susie."

Without hesitation, Susie leaned over, sniffed the potion, and then opened her mouth to suck the entire potion into her mouth.

The next second, Susie's muscles began to bulge, her body suddenly expanded, and even through her hair, one could feel the explosive power.

However, Susie had already digested the potion half a month ago, and Audrey had also purchased the main ingredients from Serres, thus promoting Susie to "psychologist" early on.

The trial maids' promotion speed was far too slow, so the impatient daydreamer chose to sneak out early.

As soon as her emotions began to surge, Susie immediately adjusted her mindset, using her ability to "soothe" to calm her rising emotions. Her swollen body also shrank back to its original size.

"How was it? How was it?" Audrey asked curiously as soon as she saw that Susie had finished taking the potion.

"Well... how should I put it? I feel like I've mastered a lot of fighting skills and weapon usage techniques..." Susie said.

It looked down at its paws, unsure of what words to use to describe its current feelings.

What a useless ability...

Audrey clearly had the same thought in mind, and she tried to comfort her: "It's okay, Susie, maybe... you can become a human someday?"

Susie looked up at Audrey, puzzled: "But Audrey, why do I have to become human?"

"I've been reading a lot of fantasy novels lately, and in them, magical beasts transform into human form after growing to a certain level. But... wouldn't that be inconvenient and uncomfortable?"

"And... those magical beasts in novels that fall in love with humans. Hmm... Audrey, if you became a very, very powerful Extraordinary Being, an angel, and could change your appearance, would you fall in love with a curly-haired baboon?"

“Um…” Audrey couldn’t answer any of these questions. “Perhaps… it’s because these stories were written by humans.”

Susie happily wagged her tail: "Then I want to write a novel about dogs in the future, and I'll call it... 'Pot Comes'."

"Okay, then you have to do your best." Audrey smiled and nodded, not wanting to dampen Susie's spirits.

She composed herself, picked up the "Bricklayer" potion from the side, and drank it down.

Backlund, Joe Wood District.

Fors, who was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep and unwilling to get up, turned over and faced the desk in the room.

Seeing the notebook filled with inspirations and several manuscripts spread out on top, I flipped back out, feeling both bored and annoyed.

I don't want to see them at all.

She lay in bed thinking about her promotion, lost in thought.

The next step after "Candle Scholar" is "Armed Archaeologist." I have absolutely no interest in that sequence. Besides, I'm still far from mastering my Sequence Nine potions; there's no need to rush right now...

Feeling the potion being digested within his body, Fowles rolled around in distress a few times.

As a writer, she has researched a lot of information and learned about the customs and scenery of many places. Every time she writes, she exercises her memory.

This meant that she had already been playing the role of a "candle-and-ink scholar" for several years.

Recently, the system has been pushing her to write, and it has been making her understand the "memories" from various places again and again, deepening her own "memories" time and time again.

Her Candle Scholar potion had long since been digested.

Hmm... I don't have enough money to buy two potions at once... Fowles comforted himself. So he'd better start with "Master of Tricks" first.

Having found an excuse, Fowles closed his eyes contentedly, but then opened them again, plunging into a new brainstorming session.

Ah, I don't even know what the corresponding Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 are called, I only know that Sequence 7 is 'astrologer'.

so annoying……

Sure enough, the thought of writing gives me a headache.

Just then, she heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching and receding into the distance, finally turning into the clanging of the door.

“Hugh’s out again. She’s so busy,” Fors said idly. “If it weren’t for the 400 pounds she owes Viscount Grylls, we’d be on holiday in Dixie Bay right now…”

At that moment, the system panel appeared before her eyes.

Because of your faith in the god of poverty, your plans for a vacation in Dixi Bay have been ruined. This is a huge blow to someone as adventurous as you.

“I’m not into adventure; I’m perfectly fine just lying here,” Fowles replied nonchalantly.

She had long since stopped caring about the inexplicable slander that occasionally appeared in the system.

So you decide to add some excitement to your life.

[Trigger Task: Show your story, "The Wild Roses of the Five Seas and the Untold Stories of Three Pirate Generals," to "Mr. World" at the Tarot meeting.]

[Successfully obtained a mysterious reward that can save your life; failure has no penalty.]

"Show it to Mr. World!"

I thought of Mr. World, whose voice was hoarse and whose demeanor was profound, during the tarot reading, and then I thought of the romance novel I wrote based on him.

Fowles covered his face and let out a shameful scream.

…………

The pale blue potion was cool and refreshing, making Audrey feel like she was enjoying delicious ice cream. She then took a sip of champagne.

Tiny bubbles rose continuously, their silent bursts bringing a tingling sensation. A faint electric arc danced on the tip of her tongue, giving Audrey a numbing, tingling feeling.

Her hearing suddenly expanded, and she could even hear the conversation between the two maids at the end of the corridor, lamenting that they hadn't had the chance to visit the Hall family castle and manor in East Chestershire.

At that moment, Audrey felt as if she had suddenly become a supercomputer, able to analyze the surrounding environment perfectly, understand the operating principles of various machines and objects, and feel that she could easily create something even better.

The ability of [intelligence] subtly merged with the "audience" in an instant, and her vision changed. Everything she saw was unusually smooth, becoming an alternative mirror that reflected her current appearance.

Beneath the beauty described by words like pure, exquisite, grand, and lively, her exposed skin was slowly growing something like iron plates, upon which the numbers 0 and 1, which she had previously seen in the Binary Empire, flickered back and forth.

Its emerald green eyes narrowed, taking on a pale gold and pale blue luster, with the numerical codes of 0 and 1 flowing rapidly within them.

The surrounding world was also split apart, instantly transforming into a binary ocean.

She suddenly felt like an omniscient and omnipotent being, becoming a non-human being.

Seeing herself like this, Audrey suddenly felt a deep-seated fear. She didn't want to become a non-human being, nor did she want to become a computer.

Actually, I was too hasty; I should have taken some more time to process things...

Such a thought crossed her mind.

With a soft thud, her mind began to blur, merging with her surroundings.

But soon, a thought flashed through my mind: golden irises blooming in the surrounding air.

A pure, beautiful light flowed around her, and gentle energy flowed through her entire body. Audrey instantly regained consciousness.

Audrey regained her composure and tried her best to get into the "audience" mode.

Her fluctuating emotions quickly subsided, and her spirit seemed to detach from her body, looking down at herself like an audience member.

Audrey saw the shimmering light on her body surface fade significantly, and her emerald-like eyes return to normal.

Before long, she regained control of her body.
