While they were eating, Myne's mother, Eva, returned from shopping. Seeing Myne eating, she was startled. "Myne, what are you eating?! Sir, I'm sorry to have troubled you. How much is this? I'll pay for it."
"..." Myne suddenly felt a little choked up. A piece of paper costs five silver coins, and this cake costs more than five silver coins! How am I supposed to get the money?! She could see herself getting a beating in the future.
“Madam, don’t worry about it. This is a gift for her,” Thousand Hands waved his hand casually as he looked at the anxious Eva. “Myne is a capable person. You should take good care of her. I’ll go buy some things now.”
"Ability?" Myne was puzzled for a moment, then her eyes lit up. Could she become a magician? In many novels she had read, the protagonists would become magicians after going to another world. Could she be one too? Great! She could turn her life around! A little voice inside Myne was cheering and jumping for joy.
"Thank you for taking care of me," Eva said, pulling Myne along as they bowed to Senju. After watching Senju walk away, she began to admonish her daughter, "Myne, you can't just eat other people's food in the future."
“But this is really delicious, Mom, you should try it,” Myne broke off half a bread and handed it to Eva. The aroma and sweetness made her mouth water. After taking a bite, she looked happy, then realized, “No, we should take this home and eat it together.”
"There's another one here!" Myne proudly showed off, but the outer piece of paper was hidden. Eva carefully wrapped the bread in the package before carrying her daughter home.
Meanwhile, Senju is out shopping. The vegetables here are pretty good, and Senju has bought quite a few fresh products. However, the meat is not so good. He frowned as he looked at the meat that had a bad smell. It seems he will have to go out and hunt some game.
After leaving the market, Senju headed towards the south gate. The forest was just beyond the south gate. One of the guards there was Myne's father, but Senju didn't say anything to him.
After leaving the city gate, he walked into the forest for a while, then summoned Pegasus and headed into the depths of the forest. After flying for more than ten miles, he landed and then used a slight magical power to sweep over the surrounding area for several kilometers, sensing the creatures everywhere. What abundant biological resources!
With his wand in hand, Thousand Hands walked forward, occasionally firing a few magic needles that killed several pheasants, rabbits, and the like by the roadside. After being skinned and bled by Thousand Hands, he summoned water to wash them, and they were turned into chunks of meat and put away.
He continued wandering around, killing three deer and two wild boars. After processing them, he obtained several tons of meat. The meat in his spatial bag wouldn't spoil, and he could fit more in. However, the animal entrails and blood he threw outside attracted many carnivores.
Incidentally, they were also quite interested in the Thousand Hands, but unfortunately, the Thousand Hands didn't need meat anymore. So, he adjusted his monster-hunting method, applying the template's power to the beasts over there. In this state, killing them would drop money, raw materials, and equipment; of course, meat and hides would be lost.
There were unexpected events. Once, his magic bullet hit the ground, and a bunch of seedlings suddenly appeared there. They grew really fast. In no time, they turned from seedlings into big trees. Not only did the surrounding land dry up instantly, but the surrounding trees also withered instantly, as if their life force had been taken away.
Chapter 1950 The Most Embarrassing Transmigrator
"What a powerful tree! But it's growing too fast, plundering the surrounding nutrients and disrupting the natural balance. It should just die." Looking at the dry and reddening soil, Senju tried to cut down the three-meter-tall sapling with a magic blade, but the tree absorbed the magic instead and grew to ten meters tall, baring its teeth and claws at Senju.
"Absorb magic power?" With that, Senju took out an iron sword, the equipment he had just acquired, and began to swing it rapidly. The writhing branches were instantly cut off. Then, Senju continued forward, his rapidly swinging sword severing all the branches. Finally, Senju reached the tree trunk, concentrated his power, and chopped the tree in half with a single strike. Instantly, all the branches stiffened, becoming like normal trees that do not move on their own.
"These are really good materials." Looking at the several large trees, Senju thought he could make some magical items like wands. After cleaning them up a bit, Senju put a few tree trunks into his storage bag, then some branches, and finally a bunch of twigs and leaves. Senju thought for a moment, then used his papermaking skill and obtained a pile of high-grade magic paper. This tree is really a good thing.
After searching carefully around, he found the seed of this tree, a red fruit shaped like a pomegranate. With a little magic input, it would become hot. He then tried to draw on Senju's magic to grow, but Senju controlled his magic very well. After the seed sprouted a few buds, it withered in Senju's hands without receiving any replenishment.
"No wonder there are no magical beasts here," Senju shook his head, looking at the withered seedling in his hand. Any magical beast that touched this plant would be devoured in no time. He casually placed an item on it, and then Senju Pine...
He sighed. This seed wasn't so powerful that it could even absorb the magic power from the props.
“What a pity,” Thousand Hands shook his head, collected some fruits, and prepared to take them back as samples. Then he searched for other things around him, and also found some edible wild vegetables, wild fruits and all kinds of small flowers, which he put into his space bag before riding his Pegasus back.
He landed a kilometer outside the city and wandered around the forest for a while. He caught three pheasants and a few strange little animals, but they were a bit troublesome to deal with. The little animals were also a bit odd, so Senju gave them to a few children who were chopping wood nearby. They looked familiar, and Senju recognized some of the children as the sons of a carpenter.
The children were quite happy, but Senju went home empty-handed. Reflecting on his day, he took out a piece of paper and began to record his changing feelings. After writing for a while, he looked at it and slowly began to understand. A firm will, ah, that's really not easy to grasp.
Senju sensed Myne's feelings over there. Well, she had a fever again, but she was still clinging tightly to that piece of paper. Senju couldn't help but sigh at her terrifying obsession with books, which could even overwhelm the backlash of magic.
However, Myne had a fever, and Senju couldn't sense the changes in her will since she was asleep. Bored, Senju just wrote a book—a book written to eliminate the stench in the city.
This book has little scientific content and is instead full of religious overtones. The gist of it is that when humans harvest crops from the land, they are drawing away the earth's power and diminishing the power of the earth god, causing the soil to become barren. To compensate for this, animal products (excrement) need to be purified through a special ritual (composting) and returned to the earth so that the soil can regain its fertility and allow crops to grow better.
After scribbling away for a while, Senju looked at the finished book and was speechless. It seemed like no commoner could understand this stuff, and nobles probably wouldn't care about such things either. Was this project going to be abandoned just like that? That wouldn't do. For the sake of clean air, there must be a way!
Then he thought of the baron he had enslaved—I think it was a baron—and had an eagle carry the book over. Thousand Hands instructed him to conduct experiments on his fiefdom. The baron was quite respectful after reading it and then sent people to conduct experiments on his land. Unfortunately, it was almost winter, so the fertilization experiment couldn't be carried out. Moreover, even with normal experiments, it would take several years for people to understand the truth.
A few days later, Myne recovered. Senju sensed Myne's mood and then stepped back to an observer's perspective. Myne's scalp was itchy, but there was no shampoo available.
Myne was also very troubled, tying her family to work while trying to find a way to deal with her itchy scalp. After several days, she finally came up with a solution. That day, her sister Dolly came home. She had been collecting fruits in the forest recently to prepare for winter. Myne looked at the basket for a while and then excitedly asked for a fruit. It was called a Liya fruit, which Senju had also eaten. It tasted pretty good and was a common fruit for pressing oil here.
Myne was delighted with the fruit. She placed it on the table, picked up a wooden hammer, and then Senju was speechless. She directly used the wooden hammer to hit the fruit? What kind of operation is this? It seems that Myne's soul has become childish. With one swing of the hammer, a bunch of juice splashed out, not only affecting herself but also soaking her sister next to her.
"..." Dolly, caught in the crossfire, was speechless for a moment. She wiped the juice off her face and gave a 'peaceful' smile. "Hey, Myne, what are you doing?"
"I...I just want some oil," Myne said, looking at her sister with teary eyes, as if she had done something wrong. Dolly sighed helplessly and looked at her sickly sister. It seemed that her sister was not only physically weak but also not very bright. "There is a proper way to extract oil. This won't do."
Myne was still teary-eyed. Dolly shook her head helplessly and then started cleaning up the mess caused by her sister's careless knocking on the fruit. After that, Eva returned, and Myne got a good scolding.
From an observer's perspective, Senju was speechless. He wanted to lift Myne's head to see what was inside! She was a transmigrator, after all; this method of extracting oil seemed completely wrong! And the papyrus from before seemed like wishful thinking—separating plant fibers and weaving them into paper? What's the difference between that and linen? Linen is obviously easier to obtain and preserve.
Moreover, Senju recalled the information about papyrus. It was made by weaving wide white grass stems into a flat surface similar to a straw mat. Only 'paper' woven that way could easily obtain a large writing surface. After that, it had to go through several months of steaming, pressing, and air-drying. It was not as simple as Myne had said. It seems that although Myne's soul in her previous life liked to read, it was 'not seeking to understand deeply'.
Chapter 1951 DIY
Looking at Myne's recent performance, Senju wondered if she had chosen the wrong place. Myne's performance was less than satisfactory. Transmigrators should be doing more, not to mention someone like her with a will that transcends life and death. But now Myne is just acting cute every day!
"Let's see how it goes for a year," Senju said, rubbing his forehead. He made up his mind, feeling that his current life was a kind of training. Of course, he knew that compared to ordinary people, his life was nothing of a training, but it was an attitude. Although he hadn't done anything these past few days...
People come to the door.
However, he didn't slack off. He copied a lot of books here, mainly poems and stories, which were most likely to be appreciated by nobles and were of little use. He could copy them with ease. Now there are dozens of books in the shop, all displayed on the shelves behind the counter, but they are not locked.
Of course, these books were very cheap. Qian Shou, who had "studied the market," priced each book at five small gold coins. However, he was speechless because no one came to his door. Perhaps this was related to the fact that he often closed his door and went out to paint.
Moreover, there are rumors circulating that some guys tried to sneak in and steal things while Senju was out, but they couldn't open the door at all. It was as if there was an invisible wall. If they tried too hard, they would get an electric shock. After that, no one went to steal anything. But the rumors that it was very strange spread.
Bored, Senju sat behind the counter and watched as Myne started 'oil extraction' again. This time it was much more normal. Instead of a wooden table, there was a metal table. The fruit was placed in a cloth bag, which was then crushed. After twisting the bag, the juice could be obtained, which contained a lot of vegetable oil.
However, Myne's physical strength was pitifully weak. She twisted the bag for a long time but couldn't squeeze out a single drop of juice. She could only look at her sister with teary eyes. Dolly sighed helplessly and helped to reprocess it. Myne hadn't properly cracked the fruit earlier!
With Dolly's help, Myne obtained a small bowl of vegetable oil, or rather, a juice with a high oil content. Then she started adding various herbs to it. Dolly, who was next to her, didn't quite understand, but some of the herbs she had just added didn't taste good. She wanted to use the oil to cook before it went bad, but Myne held on tightly, saying, "Dolly, no!"
"It'll go bad if you don't eat it quickly!"
"You can't eat it!"
No matter what Dolly said, Myne kept shaking her head while holding the small basin, and her mother on the other side also got angry, "Myne! Those are Dolly's! Don't be willful!"
"It's not being willful! I'll give it to Dori!" Myne shouted like a child. The two people beside her were helpless when they saw this stubborn child. Fortunately, it was only a Liya fruit, so they let her play with it.
Afterwards, Myne asked for hot water, then added salt to the small basin of plums, mixed it together, and then, to Dolly's extremely regretful look, poured the oil into the hot water and stirred it there.
Watching her actions, Senju was speechless. He knew Myne was making shampoo to relieve itchy scalp, but could this really be made into shampoo? He was extremely skeptical. But Myne then used the mixed water to wash her hair, and after washing and drying it, her hair was actually shiny. Not only was Dolly dumbfounded, but Senju was also dumbfounded. Where was the science? Where was the science?
Then, Dolly next to her was also encouraged to wash her hair, and Dolly's hair became very smooth. Seeing this result, Senju also wanted to try it.
Raising her hand, a Riya fruit appeared before her. With a small whirlwind, the fruit was chopped into small pieces. Then, a heavy pressure compressed the pulp, and drops of juice fell into the wooden bowl below. Next, Senju took out some herbs, crushed them to extract the juice, mixed them together, added salt, and then heated and evaporated the mixture.
"Does this really work?" Looking at the finished green, viscous liquid, Senju felt that it was very similar to a ready-made shampoo. Because of the vanilla, it smelled nice, but Senju wasn't sure if it could actually be used to wash hair. After all, the ingredients were a bit too simple. She dipped her finger in it, rubbed it slightly, and smelled it. It smelled good, but it didn't seem to have any cleansing function.
Puzzled, Senju casually summoned a husky and experimented with its tail. However, the result was disappointing; the dog's fur didn't become smooth. This puzzled him. He had clearly done a more refined job, so why didn't it work? Seeing the husky looking at him with resentment, Senju waved his hand and sent it away.
"Something must have gone wrong," Senju scratched his head. He couldn't do many things because of his self-imposed restrictions. However, looking at the green liquid in the small bowl, Senju waved it away. But Myne's actions gave Senju a hint: he could make everyday items like soap and toothpaste. Although he didn't use them himself, he could practice what he knew.
Then Qianzhe went out to buy some caustic soda and the like. Unfortunately, although there were many chemicals here, such as dyes and glues, he didn't see any caustic soda. However, he did see some soap.
The women washing clothes by the well were using a gray, lumpy substance. However, it smelled rather foul. After asking around, they learned that it was made from butter and wood ash. Although it had a washing function, the smell was quite strong.
After looking around for a while, Qian Shou continued shopping. He found a lot of cleaning products in the shops along the road. Of course, the products in these shops were all 'high-end'. They were soaps, but these were sweet-smelling soaps with a pure color. The prices were also very high-end. A bar of soap the size of a mobile phone cost a large silver coin. After looking at it, Qian Shou was too lazy to buy it. It would be so much easier to just make it at home.
Back home, Senju took out salt, water, and various glasswares. First, she electrolyzed the salt water to obtain sodium hydroxide solution and chlorine gas. The chlorine gas reacted with water and, under light, turned into hydrochloric acid. This was how she obtained basic chemical raw materials. Of course, this was...
It can only be done safely with the help of magic; in actual operation, it is very dangerous.
He then extracted the vegetable oil and heated it with sodium hydroxide solution, finally obtaining a beaker of yellow viscous liquid, which should be soap. Thinking about it, Senju added some vanilla or something. Next, it seemed like all he had to do was wait for it to solidify, but a ray of ice struck it, and it solidified immediately.
Looking at the solids in the beaker, Senju was speechless for a moment. Perhaps it hadn't undergone sedimentation, because the changes inside were a bit unusual. There were two solids and one liquid. After looking at it for a while, Senju finally realized that it was soap, ice, and glycerin!
Chapter 1952 Guests and Native Magic
Using magic to suspend the solid, a hot wind blew by, and only the light yellow, translucent, honeycomb-shaped solid remained floating in the air. However, the next step was very simple. Whether it was high-heat compression or melting and recasting, it was easy to obtain a cube of soap.
After using magic, Senju obtained two bars of soap. He then put them in two wooden boxes next to the wooden basin where he washed his hands. He then started making other items. With the help of magic, he easily made various modern items. However, after making them, Senju lost interest and wrote a book there, feeling bored. It was just too boring here, and Senju couldn't keep watching Myne's life.
Just when things were getting boring, a guest finally arrived. However, Senju wasn't in the mood to entertain the guest. Instead, she was thinking about finding a helper to clean the place and do some chores.
The customer was dressed very neatly and presentably. He looked at the items on the shelves, then at the price tags, and then at the Thousand Hands who was staring blankly over there. "Excuse me, why are these jewelry and weapons so expensive?"
"These are all magical items, so they are naturally precious." Seeing that the visitor was respectable but had no magic power, Thousand Hands casually shook his head and waved his hand. A scroll floated out from the shelf behind him. "Guest, I recommend this to you: a job change scroll. It costs 100,000 gold coins and can give you the magic power that only nobles have."
"Well, hahaha, how could I dare to hope for that!" Looking at the scroll floating in the air, the customer swallowed hard and chuckled dryly. He looked at the props shelf outside. He had also learned from the guild president that there were high-end goods here and wanted to buy some nice things to please a certain nobleman, but the things here were too expensive!
But the person sitting there was actually a mage, meaning he was also a nobleman. But why would a nobleman come to the commoners' district?! Suppressing her astonishment, after looking at the shelves for a while, she couldn't help but ask Thousand Hands, "Are these really magic props? There are no magic stones on them. They can't be fake, can they? Counterfeiting goods is severely punished."
"Magic stones?" Senju seemed slightly intrigued. He hadn't paid attention to the magic here. In fact, he was bored anyway, so studying this might be a good idea. "My items don't use magic stones, but the effects are still quite good. Let's try this lightning strike ring."
With a wave of his hand, a magnificent sky-blue ring floated in front of the guest. Looking at the ring and then at the price tag of '15 large gold coins', the guest quickly declined, "Um, I'm not a nobleman, I don't have magic power, I can't use these items."
“I know, but this can be used even without magic,” Senju said, surprising the customer. The customer, for some reason, immediately panicked and said, “Um, I just remembered I have something to do, goodbye!”
"Tsk," Senju rolled his eyes as he watched the customer run away. It seemed that his sales skills and the location of his shop were both wrong. However, opening a shop was not his original purpose. His original purpose was to observe Myne.
With a light snap of his fingers, a magic circle appeared, from which floated a level 60 succubus maid. She was dressed quite seriously and conveyed her intentions briefly. The succubus, named Belle, then folded her wings and tail and began to diligently clean the house, while Thousand Hands went out.
However, he didn't come to the street from the main gate, but went to the rooftop, summoned a griffin, and rode it towards the inner city. There were no restrictions on flying mounts here, and Thousand Hands easily entered the city again.
Since magic belongs to the nobles, let's go to the inner city and ask the baron I enslaved. After a brief conversation, Thousand Hands learned that the selection of nobles here is actually quite strict. Noble children have to go to the Noble Academy when they are ten years old. Only when they successfully control magic can they graduate and be recognized as nobles, instead of just inheriting their bloodline.
In addition, graduating from the Noble Academy will grant you a graduation certificate—a glowing baton called 'Shtap'. Senju saw the baron's graduation certificate and discovered that it was an instrument that absorbed magic power from the body and then released it. He then explained the magic here to Senju.
It was then that Thousand Hands realized that the flying beasts he had seen were created from magic stones and imagination, not natural creatures. Afterwards, the Baron told Thousand Hands how to use the magic stones: by infusing them with magic, they could grow larger; by infusing them with imagination, they could transform them. They could transform not only inanimate objects but also living things.
Senju picked up a magic stone and experimented with it, watching it change shape at will. He felt that such a substance should exist in his world. After studying some magic materials, he also mastered many new spells, all related to magic stones. Without magic stones, the people here...
Even nobles are waiting to die.
Of all those spells, the most interesting is creation magic, which involves pulverizing matter and then reconstructing it into a new object according to one's imagination. The temple in this city was made using that kind of magic. Not only can one walk out of the magnificent temple, but one can also set restrictions on who can enter and exit. Unfortunately, it seems that only the lord and his offspring can learn this. The baron only recorded a little information here, but with this little information, Thousand Hands deduced the same magic.
In addition, the text mentioned a lord's unique magic for executing rebels, but unfortunately, even this baron was unaware of that. Thousand Hands couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that even nobles experience hierarchical oppression.
Unfortunately, Senju has no intention of helping them relieve their oppression. He lacks productivity, knowledge, and strength. After reviewing the magic materials, he left under the cover of night.
When she got home, she saw that her maid, Belle, had cleaned the shop very well and prepared a rest room for her. She had also cooked a sumptuous dinner. While eating, Senju realized that she should take out the ingredients from her spatial bag.
After making a magical refrigerator in the kitchen, Senju filled it with a huge amount of food. As he put the food in, Senju sighed, "As expected, it's impossible for me to give up my power." He shuddered at the thought of living the same life as everyone else outside.
Well, on second thought, Senju understood the origin of this feeling. Security and the life one desires are two basic human instincts. The thought of losing these things naturally makes one feel bad. And how much are humans willing to pay for these two things? That should be considered willpower. Senju just doesn't have the obsession to increase power even at the cost of death.
Chapter 1953 Mei Yin Learning to Read
Casually thinking, Senju jotted down her thoughts before going to eat dinner. Speaking of which, Bailey's cooking skills were quite good. Senju was very satisfied with the various dishes and then slowly began to eat.
After finishing their meal, Senju tested out the magic she had just acquired. The magic stones here were truly excellent materials; they could be freely infused and released with magic power, and could even change according to one's imagination. In addition, they could be combined with various magic circles to achieve numerous functions, and could also be used with herbs to make potions. It was simply incredibly powerful.
With a little magic infusion, the magic stone in his hand instantly transformed into a magnificent golden sword, then a shield, then armor, then a husky, a fish, a pigeon, a fire dragon, and a phoenix, before finally returning to a magic stone. He casually infused magic to multiply the magic stone, and soon, Thousand Hands had a pile of magic stones. By the way, the people here don't have this kind of technology; their magic stones are obtained by killing magical beasts. That's right, there are magical beasts here too.
Looking at the pile of magic stones in front of him, Senju thought for a moment, then took out his wand and fused the magic stone to it. That way, when he casts a spell in the future, everyone will think he is a real magician. He also forged the graduation certificate of the Noble Academy and the glowing baton 'Shutterp,' then made a box, put it under the counter.
The next day, Senju was making magical props with local characteristics. The shape didn't matter; what mattered was the magic stone and the magic circle. So Senju made a bunch of lightsabers, each shaped like a 20-centimeter-long, 4-centimeter-diameter metal cylinder. A magic stone was placed at one end of the cylinder, and a stabilizing magic circle was etched around it.
In this way, as long as magic power is input, a stable lightsaber will appear at the front end. It will not interfere with the deformation of the magic stone due to imagination. This visible spatial blade formed by distorted magic power is extremely powerful. Priced at 100 large gold coins, it's not a big deal. Well, no one will buy it anyway.
After casually making a few, Senju tossed the sword hilts onto the counter behind him and began eating the breakfast Belle had made. This succubus truly lived up to her reputation as someone who summoned according to her own ideas; she was aloof, had a perfect appearance, excellent housekeeping and cooking skills, and was also quite good at combat. She even knew how to read the room.
The maid had nothing to do and was writing a book. Senju glanced at her and was speechless. She was writing about hell magic. But whatever, there was no problem anyway. Senju told her to write a hell encyclopedia or something when she was bored.
However, standing by the window looking outside, Senju felt that he should make a magic air conditioner. The weather was getting colder and colder. But as he was looking, he saw Myne pass by outside. No, she was being carried by a red-haired boy, with her sister Dori, a pink-haired boy, and a blond-haired boy by her side.
