Moreover, after obtaining the system, she didn't frantically do missions, but continued to live a normal life. However, she is now a level 7 tailor and a level 5 maid. Well, the tailor's ability is to improve her handicraft skills, and the maid's ability, in addition to improving her housework skills, can also improve her combat power.
Dolly has actually made a few magical items, but they are all still level one, such as a vine shield and a cloth robe. The magic on them is not perceptible. However, due to the change in the base, they are now magical items and can increase one or two points of attributes. Dolly currently has three of them: a grass bracelet, a cloth bag, and a polished necklace. Dolly has not yet found a way to get started with equipment above that level.
These three items were made with great difficulty by Dolly. Wearing them would increase one's strength (10kg), physique, and intelligence. She also made a set for Myne, but how should I put it, Myne's magic power was too strong. Just when she got excited, the magic circle on the item was shattered, leaving the expectant Dolly disappointed for a long time.
However, Senju remembered that he had prepared a Druid class for her. Once she created real equipment, she wouldn't have to worry about magic attacks. He told the system to help Dolly get a job as soon as possible and to collect items and sell raw materials. With Myne's papermaking, a new storm was about to arrive. In the end, Myne still didn't see the true nature of the world. A child carrying gold in the market is simply courting death.
Shaking his head, Thousand Hands sensed his own state of mind. Although the ever-changing flow of water was good, once he lost interest, his mind became a stagnant pool. Thousand Hands was quite speechless about this. It was clearly said that it could cope with many changes, but he only lost interest, and the technique backfired. It was really beyond words. As soon as his heart fire flared up, the flow of water was directly burned away.
Speechless for a moment, Thousand Hands lost interest in mental cultivation techniques and took out a pile of books, trying to create a cultivation method suitable for himself. Well, in reality, it was an energy circulation system. All his current forms of power expression relied on the existing power system.
Creating a cultivation technique was quite troublesome. After more than a month, Thousand Hands finally managed to create a technique that integrated all of his own power. He tested it and found that it could mobilize 50% of his power. Damn! It was better not to use a technique at all.
Chapter 1979 Teasing the Child
Senju became even more bored after discovering that the techniques were ineffective against him. In this world, apart from watching Myne play house, there was nothing else interesting. Senju had no interest in the grudges and feuds among the nobles. Could it be that this boring world was a test for him?
Senju adjusted her mindset and reflected on her journey here.
His first resolution was to make the stinky city less smelly. With that in mind, he contacted Baron Bain to inquire about the experimental fields. Baron Bain said that after applying farmyard manure, the crops in the fields were much more vigorous than normal, and next year, it should be possible to promote it on a larger scale.
Hearing this was quite encouraging, but Thousand Hands was certain that it would take more than a decade to expand this method, and they might even face intervention from the temples along the way. After all, farmyard manure was taking away their livelihood, and they could easily eliminate it under the guise of blasphemy and filth, so that everyone (well, excluding nobles, temple members, etc.) could continue to live happily in the smelly city!
Just as Senju was pondering how to handle the situation, he heard Myne shouting from afar, "Luz! Luz!"
With a frown, Thousand Hands teleported over and saw a bunch of Tornado Tree saplings growing rapidly on the side, while Myne was shouting loudly. However, in just one month, Myne had acquired several pieces of equipment: the Guardian's Bluestone Hairpin, a level 3 item that grants +2 Intelligence; the Guardian's Apron, a level 5 item that grants +3 Constitution; the Guardian's Bracelet... Myne seemed to have a set of equipment, as her Constitution and strength had increased significantly, making it no problem for her to beat up a few children.
However, even this same Myne, screaming for help at the rapidly growing saplings, didn't even notice the appearance of Senju. Then, Lutz ran over from the side, giving Senju a wary look before glancing to the side. "Tornado Wood?! Whoosh~"
Lutz immediately started whistling and shouted to Myne, "Myne, get out of here quickly and run to the other side of the river."
"Uncle, come and help! Letting these tornado trees grow is going to be a real hassle!" Lutz shouted to Senju. Senju shrugged. "They're just tornado trees, no need to make a fuss. I'll make my move when they've built a 30-meter-long boardwalk!"
Lutz glared at Thousand Hands, then chopped at the sapling with his axe. Several boys ran out of the nearby woods and, seeing what was happening, pounced on the rapidly growing sapling, hacking at it indiscriminately. In no time, the Tornado Tree, which had only grown to a little over a meter tall, was torn to pieces by the boys.
"What a pity, what a pity," Senju sighed from the side. Several children glared at him angrily. "Did you do this tornado wood? Do you know how dangerous it is?! If it grows, this forest will be finished!"
"I didn't do this," Senju said casually, waving her hand. She looked at Myne, who had run to the riverbank. If she wasn't mistaken, Myne must have picked up the seed of the Tornado Tree—the Lulu Fruit—and had her magic power absorbed, which caused the Tornado Tree to grow. "Myne, do you have anything to say about this?"
"Ah, it's you, you untrustworthy uncle!" Myne was still full of resentment and didn't pay any attention to Senju's words. Senju was there, laughing and waving his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not crazy today, I'm still very trustworthy."
"Uh, gone mad..." Myne was so frightened that she almost fell back into the water. The bookstore manager who looked so refined was actually a madman?! Senju was still explaining, "Our school's training method is to constantly acquire identities and then form power clones. The more identities you have, the more magic power you have. However, sometimes you can't handle the conflicts between identities, and that's when you occasionally go mad."
“Uh,” Myne was speechless. The clay board in her mind also gave a prompt: “Detected the opponent’s fundamental technique: A thousand people, one face; a thousand faces, one person; forging millions of personalities; achieving the path of gods. 50 points to exchange.”
"I won't exchange it! I don't want to go insane!" Myne shook her head frantically. Her friends were completely baffled. "Myne, what just happened? How did these tornado trees appear?"
"Ah, these... they appeared suddenly, Lutz. What are those? They've grown so fast!" Myne was very curious. The children breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it wasn't Senju who did it. However, they were too lazy to apologize to Senju for his 'failure to eliminate the threat' attitude. After saying goodbye to Lutz, they went back to chopping wood.
Lutz explained, "That's a Tornado Tree. If it grows too big, the soil will become barren. Hmm, the surroundings don't seem to have changed. Anyway, it's very dangerous. If it grows too big, the Knights will have to be dispatched to subdue it."
“Is that so? Newly sprouted seedlings,” Maine said, looking at a pile of Tornado wood branches beside her. “By the way, let’s try making paper from these Tornado wood branches.”
“That makes sense,” Lutz nodded, while Senju watched speechlessly. The two completely ignored Senju, set up a pot and steamer by the river, put branches inside to steam, and even talked about their job-hunting experiences. These two children are only six years old!
Senju looked around boredly, then raised his hand, and a stove appeared, with a large pot and a steamer on it. Then, Senju drew a ball of water from the river and threw it into the pot. "Hmm, we're still missing some raw materials."
The two people beside him were dumbfounded by Senju's actions. Then they saw Senju take out a Lulu Fruit, throw it aside, and a sapling of Tornado Tree appeared. Lucci was extremely shocked, "Llu Fruit? Tornado Tree? How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Senju infused more magic power, and the Tornado Tree grew very quickly, reaching two meters in just a few seconds. However, it was then cut in half by Senju's sword. "The Lulu Fruit is originally the seed of the Tornado Tree. Hmm, it's a bit too long. I'll cut it again."
a few
After that, the Tornado Tree seedlings turned into sections of 20-centimeter-long sticks, which Senju then threw into a steamer to start steaming. As for the fire? Senju simply used fireballs, which were placed at the bottom of the pot as an inexhaustible power source.
"..." Lutz was somewhat lost in thought. The Lulu Fruit, which was so common in the forest, was actually such a dangerous thing? It was clearly just a toy! However, Myne, watching Senju's actions, was indignant. "Uncle, don't plagiarize like that! This is a trade secret!"
"Don't be so stingy," Senju said with a smile, looking at the sulking Myne. "At worst, I'll steam some Tornadowood for you to eat."
Chapter 1980 Making Paper and Cooking
"This isn't for eating!" Myne was getting a little frantic, while Lutz beside her was also a bit flustered. "Myne, this isn't the time to talk about this! We have to tell everyone quickly that the Lulu Fruit is the seed of the Tornado Tree. It's everywhere in the forest, and if it all sprouts, the town will be destroyed!"
“That won’t happen anymore,” Thousand Hands said casually, tasting the Tornado Wood. “If it were that easy to sprout, this forest would have disappeared long ago.”
“That makes sense,” Lutz said with a sigh of relief, then asked with some doubt, “But why don’t so many fruits sprout?”
“It’s very simple. From Lulu seedling to Lulu fruit, and then to Tornado tree seedling, it takes several years to accumulate power. However, most of the Lulu fruits rot in the middle, and some are consumed by you as toys,” Senju chewed on Tornado wood, then shook his head repeatedly. “It’s really not tasty, but if you process it, it should taste good.”
"I see," Lutz also remembered. During the festival, everyone liked to hit people with Lulu. And normally, the Lulu in the forest were only the size of a thumb. It took a long time for them to grow into mature spheres. After they were discovered, everyone collected them to use as prank props at the festival. So that's how the dangerous Tornado Tree seeds were used up. Myne next to him asked curiously, "How did this happen?"
Lutz was rambling on about the dangers of the Tornado Tree and the Lulu Fruit, while Myne looked completely bewildered. She didn't understand at all; she had only come to the forest this spring and knew nothing about it.
Lutz was explaining when Senju took out the Lulu Fruit and steamed it in a steamer. He wondered if the water-ball-like fruit would taste good. Unfortunately, after steaming for a while, he heard a 'pop' sound and the Lulu Fruit exploded.
"What a pity," I opened the steamer and saw that there was only one layer of skin left. I dipped my finger in the juice to test it. It wasn't sticky and didn't have any special taste, which meant there was no sugar inside. I took one out, collected a cup of juice, and tasted it. Hmm, it was just water. If only this could be grown in the desert.
After thinking for a moment, he forced the growth of extremely tender Tornado Tree seedlings, then poured on some sauce and other condiments. He tasted them, and they were incredibly delicious. "Hey, you two, want to try some? Fresh Tornado Tree seedlings taste amazing!"
"He actually ate it!" Myne was dumbfounded. She had thought the other person was spying on papermaking, but now he was actually eating it?! Was he crazy? Well, come to think of it, he did seem to be a schizophrenic. But smelling the various sauces, Myne swallowed hard. What should she do? Over there, she smelled soy sauce!
"I don't want to eat it!" Although her mouth was watering, Myne was still principled; she only drooled a little. Senju, holding chopsticks, exclaimed loudly, then took out an iced coconut to drink the juice, "Mmm~ This is so wonderful~"
"I'm not envious at all, hmph~" Myne snorted and continued to focus on the steamer, while Lutz was a little curious, "Myne, he's really strange, he actually eats with a wooden stick."
"Eating with sticks? Isn't that common?" Myne said casually, then suddenly stood up. Wait, who here eats with chopsticks?! The only one who does is someone who loves to lie! Only! Why didn't she notice?!
Myne strode over aggressively, then asked cautiously, "Uncle, do you know anything about Earth?"
"Earth? How would I know?" Senju lied through her teeth, then casually picked up a 'sapling' with her chopsticks and stuffed it into Myne's mouth. "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
"Mmm~" Myne's eyes widened, then her face was filled with ecstasy. This was so delicious! She had never tasted anything so good in her previous life. After all, this was made by the god-level chef, Senju. Myne was lost in a long period of bliss. Lutz came over nervously and saw her looking so ecstatic. "Myne, what's wrong? Wake up!"
"It's so delicious, oh my gosh~" Myne, who had been shaken vigorously, finally came to her senses after a while, then shook her head vigorously, "Wait, Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Senju whistled, looked at Myne with an expectant look on her face, and then held up a finger. "Well, who knows? If you don't mind, let me see your memories. Maybe I'll know what you mean by Earth."
"No way," Myne said, protecting her head as she stepped back, then looked at Senju with extreme suspicion. Senju, meanwhile, ate casually, meeting her gaze without fear. "Want another bite?"
"Never mind," Senju said.
Seeing that the other party was completely unmoved, Myne gave up. She felt like she had been thoroughly played with, but the other party stubbornly refused to admit it, which left her feeling utterly helpless! She could only run to the side and watch the steamer steam.
"..." Lutz watched all these changes in confusion. Looking at Senju, he felt as if he had lost something important, but then he shook his head and ran to Myne's side.
"Tsk, kids are so easily teased," Senju said with amusement, looking at the sulking Myne. "But the saplings—no, I should call them sprouts—are really delicious. Lulu fruits must have some special uses too. Maybe they're some kind of magical ingredient." Senju slowly explored the possibilities using his culinary skills. Meanwhile, Myne, feeling that the branches were steamed well, started peeling them.
"Why peel the bark?" Senju asked curiously from the side. Myne glanced at Senju, huffing and puffing without answering. Senju pointed to his pot, and the branches inside flew out and floated in a row in front of him. Then Senju drew his sword and slashed a few times, peeling off all the bark. "Speaking of which, this should be a pretty good side dish."
"It's not about cooking! And you're so heartless, Uncle!" Myne couldn't help but retort. Looking at Thousand Hands with tree bark in his mouth, Myne was pounding the ground. Why did this mentally unstable guy have such convenient magic? But touching the tree bark, Myne was extremely happy again. "This color, this feel, it's so great. Maybe this is a good material for making paper."
“But Tornado Tree…” Lutz said, looking at Senju. Although he knew that Tornado Tree grew from Lulu Fruit, based on his experience of traversing the forest for three or four years, Lulu Fruit wouldn’t turn into Tornado Tree for no reason. Only the person on the other side knew the secret.
Chapter 1981 A Shattered Mindset
Actually, Myne had also thought about the raw materials, and quickly went from being sullen to smiling, "Uncle, how did the tornado wood appear just now? Can you tell me?"
“You know,” Senju held up a glass of juice, then poured magic into it. The calm juice quickly heated up and boiled, turning ordinary 'water' into a red potion brimming with life force. “Think back, how did the Tornado Wood appear before?”
"Pick it up, it heats up, you throw it, it explodes, and then it sprouts," Myne remembered. She had picked up a red fruit, then some of its magic was absorbed, and the fruit heated up. She threw it away, and then the Tornado Tree appeared. "I understand, thank you, Uncle!"
"Be careful, don't plant them randomly. Tornado trees are very dangerous magical trees," Thousand Hands reminded her gently. Myne nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Then she painstakingly peeled the skins again, while Senju watched curiously. "Speaking of which, Myne, what are you making? Steaming and then peeling, it looks so troublesome."
"Can't you tell? It's for making paper!" Myne was much calmer now, but there was a hint of pride in her voice. "After a complex process, tree bark can be turned into paper. By the way, Uncle, how do you make the magical paper you mentioned before? Can I see it?"
“Magic papermaking, huh? Great,” Senju nodded, and his wand appeared from the void. He then flicked it at a large tree beside him, and the tree instantly turned into white, flying powder, which then formed a stack of paper in front of Senju. “Something like this.”
"..." Seeing this relaxed scene, Myne felt she needed to go to bed for a while. Ahhh, this was too much of a blow! She felt like she was about to explode with jealousy! Why didn't she have such magic?! Myne's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, but the clay board vibrated, reminding her that there was such magic on it too, but she had to actually make paper first to get points to exchange for that magic.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Myne's ever-changing expression, Senju flicked her forehead, which startled her awake. Myne, rubbing her forehead, showed that she wasn't envious at all. "Nothing, I'll definitely make paper for you to see!"
"Oh, good luck!" Senju clapped from the side, then pointed to the tree bark floating in the air, "By the way, what's the next step with these?"
"I won't tell you~" Myne made a face at Senju and continued to work hard. Lutz was also helping out. Senju watched with amusement, then waved his hand and began to process the papers on the side. These papers, after being soaked in Magic Lulu juice, would be good magical materials.
However, Myne was heartbroken to see this. The other person was polluting the paper; all the clean white sheets of paper had turned red. She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what are you doing? Wasting paper like that will be punished by the heavens!"
"How is that possible?" Senju rolled his eyes, then waved his hand, and the liquid in the cup had perfectly blended into the paper. Senju picked up a sheet, scribbled a few times on it, and a mysterious pattern appeared on it. "Watch closely, an explosion mark!"
She crumpled the paper into a ball and then threw it out. The paper ball flew dozens of meters before landing and exploding with a loud bang, creating a small crater of five or six centimeters in the ground. "See? Magic is powerful, isn't it?"
"..." Myne was heartbroken. How could magic compare to a book! Explosives could achieve the same effect, so why use paper?! Hmm, she seemed to remember a kind of explosive related to paper, was it called nitrocellulose or nitroglycerin?
In short, it's very dangerous and a huge waste!
"Wow, that's amazing!" Lutz was taken aback, but then Myne gave him a good talking-to. "Lutz, we're making paper, not fighting and killing. We're preparing to make books!"
“Oh,” Lutz nodded and continued to help. However, time passed quickly. After peeling the bark, the two cleaned up the steamer and pot, putting the peeled bark into the pot as if they were about to leave. Senju was a little curious, “Are you going back?”
"Well, that's enough for today. Lutz and I are both exhausted," Myne said weakly. She felt not only physically tired but also mentally exhausted. There was a shameless old man next to her showing off and bullying the children. Myne not only had to endure envy, jealousy, and hatred but also had to be wary of the old man suddenly going crazy. He was so elegant when she first met him, how did he become like this?!
Watching the two leave, Senju shrugged and then teleported back into the small building. He didn't bother with the stove anymore, figuring no one would take it away anyway.
The next day, Myne and Lutz came again, but this time they were there to dry the bark. Although Senju knew they were making paper, what was with all the steaming and drying? Senju remembered that the first step in papermaking was soaking the bark in alkaline water (lime water or wood ash soaking solution) for a long time to remove the gum between the fibers, leaving only loose fibers. Hmm, steaming is also an option. Let's wait and see.
Of course, after pressing down the bark with stones, Myne and Lutz went to collect firewood, mushrooms, and fruit. However, half of the mushrooms Myne picked were poisonous. After Lutz picked them out one by one, he gave Myne a good scolding, and Myne looked like she was about to cry.
"How about I have these mushrooms?" Looking at the poisonous mushrooms, Thousand Hands suddenly remembered something, "These can be used to make delicious soup."
"No, no, no," Myne shook her head frantically, "These are poisonous mushrooms, you can't eat them, right?"
"Why can't you eat it? I felt great after I ate it last time. The surroundings became very beautiful, and I felt like I was flying. You should try it too," Senju said earnestly. Myne started sweating and quickly stopped him, "Um, uncle, you're having mushroom poisoning and hallucinating! You really can't eat this!"
"Tch, stingy, I'll go find it myself," Senju rolled his eyes and said, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he stared at Myne's basket. Myne was super vigilant. "Uncle, you're not trying to steal a child's things, are you?!"
"Haha, how could that be? I'm not a demon," Thousand Hands chuckled dryly, then waved his hand, and the poisonous mushrooms flew to his side. "At most, I just picked up some things."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not really going to eat that?! That's poisonous!" Seeing Senju examining a bunch of poisonous mushrooms, Myne couldn't help but shout. Senju shook her head slightly, "They're just poisonous mushrooms, nothing compared to Tornado Trees or Paro Trees. You don't think I'm an idiot, do you?"
Chapter 1982 Treating the Virtuous and Talented with Respect
“Toxin extraction,” she muttered softly, and a bunch of bright powder flew off the mushroom and landed on a piece of paper. Thousand fingers pointed to the pile of toxins. “These are great seasonings, Myne. Want to try some?”
"What seasoning?! You just said poison!" Myne shouted. Senju shook his head helplessly. "Really, it won't kill you. Don't make such a fuss. These mushrooms are great magical ingredients, and they taste delicious too."
“(ーー゛)” Myne gave Senju a pair of dead fish eyes. Magicians are really scary. Ignoring him, Myne looked at the dried bark on the ground. “Next, these need to soak for a whole day. Where should we put them? If we leave them here, they might be stolen.”
"Hey, hey, hey, just say what you want to say, why are you looking at me? I wouldn't steal your bark," Senju shouted at Myne's expression. After glancing at Senju, Myne was still worried. "Even if the strange old man doesn't have bad intentions, it's hard to guarantee that thieves won't steal these as treasures."
“It’s impossible,” Lutz waved his hand helplessly. In the end, everyone decided to surround the river with stones and soak the bark in it. However, during this process, Myne looked at Senju warily. Senju shrugged, pointed to one side of the river, and a ring of iron netting immediately rose from the bottom of the river. “Don’t worry, I’m soaking in it too.”
As she spoke, Senju threw her dried tree bark into the container. Myne, standing to the side, stomped her feet in anger. If she hadn't recovered considerably, or if Senju hadn't been accompanied by her domain, she felt she would have fainted from anger. However, her face was flushed with anger. After soaking the tree bark, she stormed off in a huff.
"Life is too comfortable after all," Senju shook his head slightly as he looked at the tree bark soaking in the water. He glanced at the poison powder on the side, made some adjustments, and then took out Lulu Fruit and Paru Fruit to make a pink drink. "Smells, not bad. It seems my mixing skills haven't deteriorated. But poison is also a kind of seasoning."
Shaking her head, Senju walked through the forest with her cup in hand. These trees were just ordinary trees, and there were no monsters around. Come to think of it, there were no adventurers' guilds or adventurers in this world. After all, magic here was controlled by nobles. Even if ordinary people had magic, they would eventually die because they didn't know how to control it.
