Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 150 How Rumors Arise
At night, a legend began to circulate in the temporary camp of the Holy Magic Academy.

"Have you heard? The Saintess Squad killed over a hundred monsters in one go, and their loot piled up like a small mountain, earning them over a hundred points!"

"Have you heard? The Saintess Squad ventured deep into the ruins, killed two hundred monsters, and their spoils are piled up like mountains!"

"Have you heard? The legendary Saintess Squad entered the Lighthouse, killed a thousand monsters, and their loot is so plentiful it can't even fit at the registration desk!"

"Have you heard? The Saintess Squad almost cleared the Lighthouse..."

……

"???"

Hearing the increasingly outrageous rumors, Celia was filled with questions.

"This is getting more and more outrageous! Don't they have anything better to do?!"

At this moment, Celia was preparing to go to the mercenary market to continue yesterday's business.

She carried a small bag containing a folding stool, a folding table, a wooden sign, several scrolls, and various tools for modifying runes.

I had just passed by a place where many students were resting and gathered when I heard outrageous rumors about their battle that day.

Fortunately, none of these people had actually seen her; they only knew of this Saintess Squad through hearsay that they had done amazing things.

Ross laughed: "It's a good thing your Protoss network isn't very developed. Although you have video calls, you don't have the function or platform to freely upload short videos, otherwise the scene of you counting your spoils would have been posted on the Protoss network long ago."

Celia said, "It seems that the school's Protoss Wall supports uploading the video recorded by Yesterday's Replay, but the process is very troublesome. You have to go to the Protoss network administrator who manages the Protoss Wall."

"The Protoss Network relies too much on magic and is not mature enough. It will be interesting when it is mature. At that time, your every move will be exposed to the eyes of the whole world."

"Oh? How scary."

The thought of that scene sent chills down Celia's spine.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

The gold coins are more important right now.

The girl arrived at the stall from last night.

There were no seats available, but the owner of the puppet heart shop was very hospitable and offered her a seat, even bringing out the folding stool from last night.

Celia declined the other party's folding stool, took out her own folding stool, set up a small table, placed the carving knife and scrolls on it, stuck the sign on the ground to the side, and began to open for business.

Seeing that she had everything ready, the shopkeeper next to her immediately said in a fawning manner, "Hello, esteemed lady, my name is Karl, and I am a traveling merchant. May I ask your name?"

Celia glanced at him and said, "Celia."

"So it's the renowned Lady Celia, your name is legendary, bards sing of your greatness..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Celia interrupted the compliment, feeling goosebumps all over.

"As a token of my appreciation for reserving a stall spot, I can upgrade two of your connection devices for 50 silver coins."

"Two...that's fine too, thank you, great Ms. Celia."

"If you keep praising it like that, the price will go up to one gold coin, okay?"

"Ahem...then I'll leave it to Miss Celia."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over two Magic Puppet Hearts.

In a temporary camp like this, the Puppet Heart is probably the hardest thing to sell, just like selling graphics cards in a vegetable market. Celia doesn't know why this shopkeeper is so insistent on selling Puppet Hearts here.

Of course, according to Ross's own words, her behavior was like applying a screen protector at a market.

If he hadn't helped out last night, he probably would have been laughed at by Carl, who was also struggling to cook, when he got back.

Celia took the Puppet Heart, skillfully disassembled it, and began modifying the runes on the linking device.

Not long after she started working, several mercenaries approached from a distance. "Yes, that's her!"

After a faint voice was heard, the mercenaries immediately came over and surrounded Celia's stall.

"Shh, don't disturb their work. If they get angry, all of us won't be enough to beat them up."

The surroundings fell silent again.

There were still sounds, but everyone was speaking in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing her.

Although Celia heard the sound, she didn't pay any attention to it.

Engraving runes in a bustling market can also be considered a way to train concentration.

Because of the foundation laid yesterday, and with practice today, Celia upgraded Karl's two linking devices in about fifteen minutes, then reinstalled them onto the Puppet Heart before returning them to him.

Karl waved his hand: "Just leave them on your desk. It seems you don't have any Puppet Hearts to demonstrate today. You can use and demonstrate these two as you please, free of charge."

Celia chuckled.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

However, as he said, it would be better to have a display piece.

So Celia placed the two puppets in the upper left corner of the table and looked up at the people surrounding her.

She saw Adonis in the crowd and recognized him as one of the two mercenaries she had rescued that day, and also one of the two mercenaries who had visited her for the first time yesterday.

Celia smiled and said, "Welcome. Link device upgrade, 60 silver coins per person."

A mercenary asked, "Can I fight second-tier monsters after leveling up?"

"Complete crushing!"

Another mercenary asked, "Can I do a backflip after upgrading?"

"Even spiraling upwards is possible!"

"Can I use her as a wife after the upgrade?"

"Sure, would you like me to increase the vibration frequency?"

"..."

Once the mercenaries found that Celia was easy to talk to, all sorts of strange questions followed.

Fortunately, they didn't just ask without paying; they asked out of boredom while waiting in line for Celia to upgrade her link device.

Today, Celia's proficiency is higher than yesterday; she draws runes more efficiently and can even answer questions while drawing.

By the time she closed up shop at 10 PM, she had upgraded a total of 20 link devices, including Carl's two. Her stall attracted quite a few people who came to watch, though they were skeptical about the results.

Everything is getting better.

Even Karl, who was standing next to her, took the opportunity to sell a Puppet Heart, which was one of the upgrade links for Celia.

When it was sold, Karl's face was beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum, which made Celia very unhappy.

"He works hard all day, but he doesn't even sell as many as one of those things. How infuriating!"

Celia wasn't entirely sure about the profit margin of the Puppet Heart, but based on the one she sold yesterday, it was at least 100%.

He can earn 10 gold coins from a 20-gold-coin Puppet Heart, which is roughly equivalent to Celia's earnings from a hard day's work.

Back in her dormitory, Celia shook out all the silver coins and placed them on the table to start counting them.

Soon, the total of 1180 silver coins was counted. The original amount was 1200 silver coins, but 20 silver coins were lost because of the discount given to Karl.

"Finally, no one's shortchanging me, huh!"
