My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Spark and the Ring of the Golden Sun Honey Core

After giving Otto a few instructions, Michael decided to take the mead back and enjoy it.

As for the brokerage fee, Michael simply told Otto to exchange it for money at Sam's place and keep it for himself; he only needed the two barrels of mead.

We can talk about the rest tomorrow after Otto finishes his class.

Seeing this, Otto didn't say anything more. After Michael left, he followed the rabbit doll toward the mansion and calculated his gains for the day.

According to Sam, a barrel of mead is worth about one silver Thorne, so two barrels would be worth two silver Thornes.

As for Otto, in addition to the thirty-six copper Thorns from the morning, plus Sam's forty copper Thorns and three beeswaxes, he had earned a reward of about one silver Thorn.

If Sam pays a generous enough brokerage fee tomorrow, he might be able to amass two silver Thorne's fortune.

However, all of this is without taking into account the sunstone and the honeycomb fragment.

According to Michael, Sunstones alone can be exchanged for several Silver Thorns.

Just as Otto was pondering this, the rabbit doll brought him to the guest room.

It is a spacious bedroom that looks very tidy.

The rabbit doll only asked Otto to bring out the materials and state the budget, promising to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Otto immediately took out the sunstone and the honeycomb fragment and handed them to the rabbit doll.

He didn't recognize the honeycomb fragments either, so he could only see if he could identify them by looking at the rabbit plushie.

Fortunately, the rabbit doll's core was the consciousness of that Una, so it easily discovered the strangeness of the situation.

"A small piece of sunstone and a few bee spirit crystals?"

They were able to barely gather the materials needed to make alchemy tools.

What is your budget?

Wu Na adheres to the principle of doing only what she is paid for, and has no intention of losing money in business.

As for Otto, after thinking for a while, he took out all the copper coins he had on him and also mentioned Sam.

"I think I can still raise some money with Sam."

Otto didn't dare to be too definitive, only saying that he would try his best to help improve the quality of the alchemical items.

However, for some reason, after Otto took out the Bronze Thorne, the rabbit puppet stopped moving.

Otto assumed the signal had been lost and gently patted its head, but Una's indifferent tone came through again.

"I'm just thinking."

As Una spoke, the Bronze Thorne and the materials were taken away by the rabbit doll.

"I'll try to resolve the commission by tomorrow morning."

After saying that, the rabbit doll left the room, leaving Otto alone.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Otto immediately prepared to begin the ritual of offering sacrifices to the goddess of light.

He now has beeswax in his hands, which should be considered a decent offering.

Just do it.

Otto immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, calling upon the name of the goddess of light.

The moment he lit the scented candle, Otto felt a lightness in his body, and his mind became somewhat dazed again.

He saw the familiar gray fog reappear around him and immediately realized he was dreaming again.

In a daze, he seemed to hear a soft laugh, and then he saw a black and white ball of light suddenly appear in the fog and rush towards him.

Before Otto could react, the black and white orb of light had already merged into his soul.

Otto suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that it was already morning.

"What is that ball of light?"

Otto never expected that his sacrificial ceremony would lead to such a change.

But just as Otto was pondering this, a kind of knowledge he had never encountered before suddenly appeared in his mind!

"Fire?"

Before Otto could even process the knowledge, the monkey had already helped him with a simple organization.

[Tier 1 - Transcendent: Spark (0/5)]

Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, it provides the employee with a five-point attribute bonus, enhancing Intelligence and Spirit, Agility and Stamina, and Cleverness!

[Class Trait: Provides you with some resistance to diseases, curses, and undead invasion.]

[Class Spell: Soul Purification Flame]

[Quality: One Ring]

【Effect: Burns low-level ghosts and purifies weak curses】

[Inauguration Ceremony: Summon the Goddess and accept Felicity's trial. Upon passing the trial, the Goddess will bestow upon you a spark. Absorb the spark to advance in rank.]

The monkey's evaluation was: Not bad.

Looking at the description of the extraordinary professions in front of him, Otto felt that something was increasingly wrong.

"Felicity's Trial?"

This was the first time Otto had seen such a prompt, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Let's ask Eileen when we get back to town."

Otto thought it best to be cautious, but his 'animal friends' thought he was too cowardly.

The brown bear thinks you lack courage, so just do it!

The monkey wants you to collect the experimental data as soon as possible; if that's not possible, then it can take over.

The black cat is very interested in the profession of "fire-starter" and is eager to try it out.

The eagle, on the other hand, is implying that you're slowing down their progress; how can you possibly follow them to accomplish great things if you're so timid?

The black sheep showed absolutely no interest in this pure and extraordinary profession, instead simply playing with the white dog, blowing bubbles.

"A bunch of traitors!"

Otto felt that his 'animal friends' had become increasingly wild since absorbing the goblin's bloodline mark.

Unlike his cautious self, this group of traitors seemed more inclined to bypass him and take up the job directly, without considering the possible consequences at all!

Just as Otto was about to defend himself and try to teach them what prudence was, the door to the room was pushed open.

"You're awake. Perfect timing, the alchemy tool is complete."

The rabbit doll walked up to Otto and handed him a ring.

This is a uniquely shaped ring. The setting is made of aged bronze and the pattern is carved into a bee motif that is entwined with sunflower vines. Set in the ring is the sunstone and a few tiny crystals that appear to emit a pale golden luster.

"Ring, Golden Yang Honey Core."

It can absorb sunlight and store it inside.

When needed, it can unleash a beam of light containing solar energy to strike the enemy.

The light cone has a chance to explode upon contact with an enemy.

It's a pretty good alchemy tool.

The rabbit doll is very satisfied with its creation.

However, during the explanation, the rabbit doll, or rather the will of Una contained within it, reminded Otto that this alchemical artifact was not without limitations.

"You provided too few sunstones."

Even with the replenishment of Bee Spirit Crystals, this ring can only be used once a day, and it can only be charged during the day. You need to remember this.

Una made her point very clearly.

It wasn't that she lacked ability, but rather that Otto provided too little material.

"Now that the task is complete, you should leave. Remember to take the contract to Sam and have him send the money over."

"By the way, if you send less than fifty copper Thorns later, I'll have Michael ask you for it."

The rabbit doll yawned, tossed the completed contract to Otto, and prepared to leave with him.

But just as he was about to set off, Otto received a strange message from the monkey!

The monkey discovered the true nature of this rabbit plush toy!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Emergency Commissions

With the monkey's analysis, Otto obtained a strange piece of information.

A cursed life whose soul resides within a puppet.

"Is the witch cursed?"

Otto squinted and followed silently behind the doll.

Come to think of it, a normal person wouldn't use a doll as a mouthpiece. The other party must have encountered some kind of misfortune to have no choice but to do so.

The black sheep, seemingly following the monkey's analysis, also noticed something amiss.

[The Black Sheep discovered that the curse seemed to contain the aura of evil.]

"Demon?"

Otto found it strange; he had never heard of any demon in Lot Village, nor was there any similar creature in the monster encyclopedia.

Otto's knowledge of demons was limited to the bizarre stories he had seen in his previous life, so he couldn't make a direct judgment.

However, he still kept this matter in mind to avoid any trouble in the future.

Just as Otto was pondering this, the will of Una, which was contained within the doll, seemed to remember something and once again gave the novice adventurer some instructions.

"I almost forgot, go back and tell Maika that the ancient artifact he's looking for has been found."

Tell him to prepare King Thorne and the team.

These words surprised Otto.

This rabbit plush toy seems to have a bad memory.

After all, Otto came with Michael last night. If there were any clues, he should have told them last night.

But besides that, Otto was even more curious about ancient artifacts.

"Miss Witch, what are ancient relics?"

Otto figured that anything that could interest Michael must be very important, and he needed to find out more about it.

However, the doll didn't seem to care much and just explained leisurely.

“Items that have absorbed the energy, will, and spirit of their surroundings and developed wondrous properties over time can be called ancient relics.”

However, the ancient artifact that Maika needs is rather special. Let your team leader explain the specifics to you.

After saying this, the rabbit doll immediately closed the door.

Seeing this, Otto had no choice but to go back and talk to Michael about the ancient artifacts again.

Otto speculated that the reason Michael was so eager to reorganize his team was likely because of that ancient artifact.

With that thought in mind, Otto immediately quickened his pace.

After touring the winery and handing the contract to Sam, Otto gave him a few instructions before heading towards Oaktown.

Unfortunately, Sam was only willing to provide a brokerage fee of sixty copper Thorns.

In the end, Sam took the fifty bronze Thorns to the witch to settle the debt, and Otto only received ten bronze Thorns.

"Adventure is indeed a money-burning industry."

Otto was quite emotional, realizing that he had indeed earned a lot recently, but he had also spent a lot more.

Otto hadn't even asked Michael how much it would cost to rent the Terror Bear Leather Armor yet, and it seemed unlikely that he could keep those ten copper Thorns.

However, the recent gains have been quite good.
