What treasure chest monster? Call me the Mysterious Merchant!

It was already bright outside, and in front of me was the familiar ceiling.

Isn't this the alchemy workshop on the second floor of Fang Qi's house?

So it turns out he wasn't dreaming, but rather that Little Dragon Girl had no connection to it?

"What a waste..." Luo Xi jumped off the bed, yawning, and raised her hands high, doing a near 90-degree extreme backward stretch.

His flexibility is almost only slightly worse than his!

Fang Qi's skull can only be opened to a little over ninety degrees!

Feeling good after winning in some inexplicable way, he greeted, "Good morning! What were you talking about wasting time earlier?"

"What a waste of money! Those dragons are so lazy, the gold coins are practically moldy, and they're just sitting there unused!" Rosie fumed at the mention of it.

"If I had that many gold coins, the experiment would have succeeded long ago!"

"Aren't you a dragon too?" Fang Qi felt that Luo Xi was an anomaly, out of place with the common perception of dragons in this world.

What dragon is there that owes money everywhere and has to work to pay it off?

"Probably not? Anyway, I haven't seen any others like me," Luo Xi pouted, touching the little horn on her head, her tone somewhat troubled:

"I can't transform, I just have these two horns, and they're different from the Scarlet Horn Clan's. I have to hide them all the time, it's such a hassle, I don't even know what they're good for..."

She put on her mage hat: "By the way, Mr. Box asked me to keep this a secret. If others see it, they'll keep asking me, which is a bit annoying!"

"Hmm," Fang Qi replied casually, "Have you ever thought about going back to your hometown?"

"Is this the Sky Plains? That's not my hometown. To be honest, I don't even know where I come from, but that floating island in my dreams that I keep having feels familiar..."

After putting on his mage robes and smoothing out the Talosia Guard insignia, Loshi pondered, "But after this exam, I might go to the Azure Plains for a look."

She hopped to the corner of the room, jumped up, and patted the magic vending machine's head: "Mr. Box, would you like to come with me?"

She found the vending machine in the lobby on the first floor yesterday. It looked a lot like Mr. Box's new design, so she moved it up to her room.

It's strange to talk to thin air all day.

As for the invitation to travel together, it's simply because the lab is so useful that she can't bear to leave it.

"Okay, let's tentatively set that as our destination for the year after next." Fang Qi really wanted to visit the homeland of the alien race.

In fact, he wanted to visit not only the homelands of the dragon girls in the Azure Sky Plains, but also the homelands of other races such as cat girls, sausages, elves, and dwarves.

There's no way around it, we're short of Palu... we're short of staff.

Based on my experience playing games in my previous life, different races must have their own unique talents.

If more troubled children like Rosie came in, wouldn't our circular corridor become more lively?

Others might be worried about something going wrong, but Fang Qi wasn't. With the trading terminal, optimizing keywords was a minor issue!

Moreover, he is preparing to do this now.

Loshi has always been diligent and hardworking, and has a good personality; he is a good Palu.

Fang Qi happened to have some extra money and planned to give her some employee benefits, which would also help improve employee work efficiency.

I skillfully opened Rosie's panel, and the system, which was originally incredibly smooth, suddenly froze for a moment and a new prompt popped up.

[Changes detected in the asset list; revaluation in progress...]

[A new category, "Common Assets," has been added. Please check it out yourself.]

"The speculative stock has appreciated?" This was Fang Qi's first reaction.

The four core assets remain the same, but a new section has been added at the bottom.

[List of Target Common Assets:]

[Echoes of a Dream in the Clouds, Class B, Mental Type, Dormant Characteristics.]

In unconscious sleep, the target resonated spiritually with an ancient settlement high in the sky, and a transformation from its very bloodline was taking place.

Fang Qi couldn't understand it, but he could deduce that it was probably related to Luo Xi's dreams.

The description is vague, but overall it seems like a good thing.

"Don't do anything rash for now, just observe it for a while."

His gaze shifted to the core asset's "powder keg" nature. He had been displeased with this one for a long time, and this was the perfect opportunity to replace it and eliminate any future troubles!

[Would you like to consume 11000 points to permanently unlock the "Dynamite Barrel Physique"?]

[Warning: Core assets constitute the target's self-awareness and basic personality. Forcibly modifying them may lead to a sudden change or collapse of the target's personality. Are you sure?]

Fang Qi looked like he'd seen a ghost and slammed the entire page shut.

How could that possibly be changed?!

He wants employees with a keen mind and the ability to conduct research and development, with the goal of creating the "strongest alchemy Palu"!

If he accidentally clicks "modify," he might suffer a personality breakdown and become a puppet. Then, how can he continue to do his core business?

However, ordinary assets can be touched.

A few days ago, when Roxi was working overtime to prepare medicine, he complained that he had been doing odd jobs lately and had no time to do research.

Fang Qi could understand it this way: if you can't free your hands, it's simply because you don't have enough hands!

He kept thinking about giving her two more hands.

I found some resonant soft gel at the bottom of the lake, ate one piece myself, and had one left over, which will come in handy.

"Extract." Fang Qi began the operation.

Items and props can be digested or extracted. Digestion breaks down items and props into asset indices or waste, while extraction extracts their significant characteristics while retaining the physical entity.

[Extractable properties: mental assimilation, telekinesis, water resonance, spiciness resistance]

The spiciness resistance is a bit laughable, and mental assimilation and water resonance are useless.

He clicked on the description of the telekinetic whiskers:

[It can project its spirit outwards, forming translucent tentacles used to grasp and manipulate objects.]

"This is it!" Fang Qi selected and clicked "Extract".

As the points were consumed, a transparent sphere of light slowly floated out.

The blue-red gel, as if it had been kneaded countless times, suddenly lost all its color, and with a "splat," it lost its elasticity and lay sprawled on the ground.

[Resonant soft gel, Class D waste.]

It was thrown directly into the waste storage area.

On the second floor, Rose was simultaneously operating two frying pans and a steamer, her hands flailing and sparks flying everywhere.

Flames shot into the sky, literally meaning a scene of bustling activity.

Ever since Fang Qi revealed his explosion response methods, for some reason, the experiments that Little Dragon Girl has been conducting have become more and more sensational every day.

He was afraid that one day, if Rose made a mistake and he didn't have time to activate his shield, he would blow her up and prevent her from working.

We still need to strengthen it as soon as possible, just to be on the safe side!

After waiting a moment and the fire subsiding slightly, Fang Qi quickly spoke up, "Luo Xi, I have something good here, do you want it?"

Rose kept working, saying, "Almost done!"

Three minutes later, after recording the experimental data, she turned around and asked, "What good stuff is this? Let me see?"

"It's definitely a good thing, it'll help you increase your experiment success rate!" Fang Qi kept it a secret, not revealing the truth:

"Stand still and don't move. It'll be over soon."
