The tremors subsided... and the radiance within the black stone walls began to dim...

A few breaths later.

The madman's old legacy has been completely restored to normal, returning to its former appearance as a simple, unadorned black stone.

Seeing this, Sett breathed a sigh of relief.

Put it back in the equipment slot and open its artifact information.

Nothing has changed.

At the very bottom are still three boxes.

[Location of Old Heritage], [Old Heritage Investigation Team], [???]

But after nearly exploding just now, he dared not click the third box again.

So Sett clicked the first box instead.

Soon, the information page about the magical artifact in front of them changed, turning into a semi-transparent, simplified map of Japan.

At the very top, there is a line of text:

[Searching for the nearest heritage... Estimated time: 47 hours and 33 minutes...]

"I understand... This is the treasure-hunting and location function of this artifact. After the waiting time is over, it should show the specific location of the Mad Scientist's Legacy on the map for me to explore," Sett thought.

So he turned it off.

Then click on the second box.

This time, what appeared before my eyes was a completely black page.

The text at the top is:

[Matching members for the Ancient Legacy Investigation Team... Estimated time: 30 seconds...]

Sett stood barefoot in the alley, waiting patiently.

30 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Two white dots suddenly appeared on the completely black page.

Each point of light has related text written next to it:

Left-side light spot: [Based on calculations, adding her to the team will increase the success rate of legacy exploration by 70%]

The glowing spot on the right: [Based on calculations, adding him to the team will increase the success rate of legacy exploration by 40%]

[The team can now accept two new members. Shall we send out invitations?]

Looking at these words.

Sett fell into deep thought.

"Is this what 'The journey to find treasure is inevitably lonely' means? It directly matched me with two helpers?"

"But how is this success rate calculated? One is 70% and the other is 40%. If you recruit both, wouldn't that be 110%? Then there's no way it could fail!"

“And I should be the so-called dog pack leader now…” Sett thought.

So he immediately clicked:

[Send an invitation!]

After the invitation is successfully sent.

The two points of light disappeared immediately.

The entire page returned to its original black state, with a pure white avatar in the center, above which was written the following text:

[Wrist]

There's also a five-pointed star next to it.

"Is this the group owner's badge? It really looks like a chat group," Sett commented.

After waiting a while and finding that neither of his two group members immediately accepted the invitation and that he needed to wait patiently, Sett simply closed the group chat.

The bathwater Mom left over is getting cold.

Go home and take a bath!

...

After helping Mom tidy up the underwear she had left behind, Sett gave herself a quick rinse.

He jumped into the bathtub with a splash.

I could smell the faint, lingering fragrance.

Sett lay back in the warm bathwater, relaxing his muscles that had been tense all day... Gradually, Sett frowned.

He discovered:

The feeling of relaxation and comfort that used to come from bathing is gone!

"Is it because of the upgrade?" Sett guessed.

But he didn't dwell on it for long, because... the black stone in his equipment slot suddenly bounced twice more.

Sett reopened the information about his artifact.

The page for transferring the old heritage investigation team.

The page, now dominated by a black background, features two additional pure white icons on either side of the central [Sett] avatar, each with the following text:

【The Ever-Changing Witch】and 【Hero - Zero】

What a weird name... Sett thought to himself.

at the same time.

Sett discovered that as the dog pack leader, he could click on the two people's avatars and expel them from the Old Legacy Investigation Team at any time.

They possess the supreme right to kick people.

After a short while, following the initial silence...

The ever-changing witch contributed the first message to this group.

【Ever-Changing Witch】: "Muxi Muxi, is anyone there? Is this the Tokyo hookup (mythical beast) P app?"

...One sentence silenced Sett.

Is this how you greet someone? Are Tokyoites getting this creative with their greetings now?

The other "hero - Zero" also remained silent.

soon.

The ever-changing witch continued:

"Why is no one talking... But I have high standards for my partner. I need to be over 185cm tall, handsome, preferably 18cm tall and 20cm tall, and it would be even better if he had eight-pack abs."

Sett looked down while soaking in the bathtub and realized that he perfectly met the other person's requirements.

Just as Sett was about to reply with, "Give me your room number,"

Another person sent a message.

[Hero - Zero]: "No wonder I had to come in personally. I never expected this to be such a despicable place. I am utterly ashamed. Where can I report this?"

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "Uh...Are you sick?"

[Hero - Zero]: "You're the one who's sick! I'm a hero, a champion of justice, the embodiment of light. I can't tolerate this filth! I'm leaving!!"

【Cardcaptor Sakura】: "I get it, you're from the Hero Association, right?"

[Hero - Zero]: "!! How did you guess?? Did you install a camera next to me? Come out here right now!"

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "( ̄€€ ̄)......I can tell at a glance..."

[Hero - Zero]: "Damn it, is it really that obvious? My senior clearly told me to hide my identity."

"Is this guy some kind of idiot?" Sett thought to himself, needing to vent his frustration.

Then he buried his head in the bathtub and continued to dive in, peeking at the screen.

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "By the way, are you 185cm tall?"

[Hero - Zero]: "185? This hero... of course not."

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "Tch, please stop talking to me, I'm not interested."

[Hero - Zero]: "How tall are you?"

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "161cm, what's wrong?"

[Hero - Zero]: "You're only 161cm, how dare you complain about how short I am?"

【The Ever-Changing Witch】: "I have E!"

A level 161 E-rank powerhouse? Sett's brow twitched.

In Tokyo, a place where B-rank experts are generally less powerful, it is truly rare to see an E-rank expert.

[Hero - Zero]: "E...what does that mean? Is it a level of superpower?"
