After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

But this doesn't exist at all with him!

He can monitor the slave's data at any time. Once the slave's risk of betrayal drops to "never betraying," he can confidently help her escape!

[Ding! The overall risk level of the high-value slave "Vera" has been downgraded from 'High' to 'Medium'!]

As a reward for achieving this for the first time, you will receive one chance to spin the 'Mystery Wheel'!

Lowering the risk level of slaves, and there are achievement rewards?

Mu Qiu was overjoyed.

In other words, he should wait until Vera's risk level drops to its lowest point before finding an opportunity for her to escape on her own, so as to maximize the reward!

[Spin ​​the mystery wheel now?]

"Yes!"

Mu Qiu spoke without hesitation.

The next second, a huge turntable appeared in front of him.

Above the spinning wheel, there are more than twenty different rewards.

The most generous reward is "one million system funds," which occupies less than 0.1% of the area.

The remaining portion, comprising about 50% of the area, consists of personal wealth, ranging from "five thousand gold coins" to "five hundred thousand gold coins".

In addition, there are some strange and unusual potions and magic scrolls, which take up about 40% of the grid area.

The last ten percent consisted of a few detailed maps documenting slave markets in different regions.

Just as Mu Qiu was about to draw a prize, the voice of the AI ​​guidance sounded again.

[Host, is this your first time participating in a lottery?]

Ok?

Mu Qiu's heart stirred slightly.

He remembered this question... He had asked it once when the intelligent guidance function was first turned on!

That time, it asked him if this was his first time buying slaves, and he answered yes, then it activated a detection function for him!

That being said...

"Yes! This is my first time participating in a lottery!"

Mu Qiu gave a decisive answer.

【Then I suppose you haven't won a big prize yet, host. I'll replace your mystery wheel with a grand prize wheel for free!】

The next second, Mu Qiu saw a flash of golden light on the mysterious spinning wheel, and it seemed that all the prizes had changed.

"Has the system increased the rewards for spinning the wheel?"

Mu Qiu looked closely and gazed at it expectantly.

The once dazzling array of prizes on the roulette wheel is now reduced to a single grand prize, radiating golden light and occupying 100% of the wheel's surface.

And this golden prize was none other than the "one million system funds" that had only occupied a small area earlier.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won the rare golden prize—one million system funds—by drawing from the mystery wheel!]

"..."

Seeing his system funds, which had just fallen to 889 million gold coins, return to 989 million gold coins, Mu Qiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Shouldn't I have spent a lot of system funds?"

"How come I bought so much stuff, and now... after using up 10 million system funds, I still only have 9.89 million gold coins left?"

Mu Qiu frowned slightly.

The system keeps sending him system funds, and it seems that the difficulty of going completely bankrupt is a little higher than I imagined.

On the bright side, the system has more funds, so wouldn't he get even more personal wealth after going bankrupt?

Spend money on slaves, isn't that simple? Making money is hard, but going bankrupt is even harder.

“——Buzz!”

Just as Mu Qiu closed the system interface, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from Vera's body!

Mu Qiu gazed intently and saw the silvery moonlight gathering around her as if it were a tangible substance. The meditating elf girl's brows were slightly furrowed, and her body trembled slightly, as if she were at a crucial moment in her breakthrough!

"Are you about to break through?"

Mu Qiu stared wide-eyed, his gaze fixed on Vera's direction.

The next moment, the girl's delicate body trembled suddenly, a flush appeared on her fair face, and her cherry-like lips parted slightly, emitting a series of rapid, muffled breaths:

"Oh...oh ho ho ho ho ho...it's going to break...!"

Mu Qiu: "?"

Did your elves make this kind of sound when they broke through to the next level?

Chapter Nineteen is gone forever; there's no going back.

"Wow... so this is what it feels like to advance by drinking magic potions!"

Vera squinted her emerald green eyes and stretched lazily with a contented expression.

After using thirty bottles of Moon Dew Essence, she broke through from the early Silver stage to the early Gold stage, becoming a fourth-tier mage!

If you rely solely on your own efforts, it would take an unknown amount of time to advance from the early Silver rank to the peak Silver rank.

Elves have a longer lifespan than humans, but it also takes them longer to become stronger.

Moreover, she discovered that the potion Moon Dew Essence seemed to have a very high compatibility with her. Normally, even if an ordinary person drinks thirty bottles of potions, it would take at least three to five days to slowly absorb it before they could raise their magic power to the peak of the Silver level.

However, she absorbed all the pure magic in less than an hour and broke through to the early stage of the Gold Realm in one go.

"This potion is called Moon Dew Essence. Was it originally created specifically for elves?"

Vera thought to herself.

It is not uncommon for many masters of other races to develop new potions specifically for their own races, which eventually end up on the human potion market.

Because the largest potion market is right here among humans, the ultimate goal of developing potion recipes is to make more money.

It's such a waste to only sell potions to your own people when you have a foreign trade market that's ten or even a hundred times larger than your own.

Aside from a few rare potions with special effects and high-level ones that are kept by their respective races and forbidden from being leaked, the vast majority of low- and mid-level potions will inevitably end up in the human market.

Some of them will undergo localization and modification after entering the human market, resulting in the development of potions that are more suitable for humans.

Another portion will not be modified; it will still be refined according to the original formula and sold to humankind.

There are often many reasons for this.

For example, some potions are developed because the production capacity of a certain material is overflowing, or because a raw material required by other potions of the same type is too scarce, so a mass-producible substitute is needed.

Replacing the original ingredients in order to improve the formula would be counterproductive.

Or perhaps it's because too few people buy it, making it not worthwhile to invest heavily in optimizing the formula.

Like the essence of moon dew, it might have been a potion originally developed for elves.

Because this medicine is of a relatively high grade and its sales are average, it's not surprising that no one would make special localization improvements for the human market.

Elves can use thirty bottles of Moon Dew Essence to break through from the early Silver stage to the early Gold stage, but humans can only reach the peak Silver stage.

"Did he know that this potion would be more effective for us elves, so he bought it specifically for me?"

Vera squinted and secretly peeked at Mu Qiu, who was sitting behind the middle table, and then she saw that there were several more bottles of different colored potions on the table.

"I really want to drink another bottle."

Vera unconsciously swallowed. In the past, she had gradually become stronger through her own efforts, but after drinking thirty bottles of magic potions and advancing from the early Silver stage to the early Gold stage, she found that she could never go back to those bitter days of sitting and meditating every day.

There are no side effects; you only need to drink the potion to absorb this purest magic power. The efficiency of this magic power enhancement is far beyond what meditation can achieve...

"I didn't even notice when Master took out the potion."

"Because I was meditating and breaking through, Master had time to add something to the potion. If you drink it again, you might... you might be..."

Vera hesitated.

After all, he was just an ordinary elf. Buying her such an extravagant potion would inevitably make people suspect that this guy had other motives.

If her master only wants her to make a "hoarse" sound, she can't resist anyway. But if her master wants to use a magic potion to lower her guard, pry open her mouth, and make her reveal the whereabouts of the forbidden book, then things will be troublesome.

"But... but I really want to drink another bottle."

"There's no going back. The days of sitting and meditating alone are gone forever. I want to drink potions, I want to drink my master's potions, the sticky potions from my master... Anyway, lewd humans probably wouldn't have any thoughts other than doing this or that."

Vera bit her finger, staring at the row of potions on the table, her eyes becoming unfocused.

She got up and walked in the direction of Mu Qiu.

Just as Mu Qiu thought she was about to pick up the potion on the table, he saw her grab his arm and press her body against his shoulder.

"Master, I can't go back anymore. Please satisfy me with this sticky potion!"

"Don't describe potions as such strange things!"

Mu Qiu complained and tried to struggle, but Vera was surprisingly strong. Not only did she not let go, she hugged him tighter and tighter.

"Don't leave! You gave me the potion just to do that kind of thing, so just stay here and wait for my body to get hot."

"No one would think that way! Only a filthy elf like you would think that way!"

"Hmph... Humans are clearly the most despicable creatures. The proof is that only humans enslave elves, while we elves do not!"

Vera picked up the potion on the table and gulped it down.

Since it's unknown whether the potion might have any other effects, if the master intends to take this opportunity to pry open her mouth and ask her about the forbidden book, then let's turn this interrogation into an adult event.

If the master gets into the mood and something happens, then she won't reveal the secret about the forbidden book, right?

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly tense.

Outside the inn, Ilúviel was looking towards the second floor of the inn with a conflicted expression.

"Ilúvier! What are you waiting for! Your sister just made those strange noises!"

Fiona planted her longsword in the ground, looking at the voluptuous elven woman beside her with a look of utter disappointment: "They've already arrived at the inn, and there's no one else here. We can kill that human and rescue your sister without alerting anyone. How long are you going to wait?"

Ilúvier shook her head, keeping her eyes fixed on the third floor, and said in a low voice, "We can wait a little longer. Rushing in like this will leave traces. To be on the safe side, I think we should approach him disguised as a waiter. It will be safer to make our move that way."

"Fiona, you stay down here and support me. I'll go up alone disguised as a waiter to check the situation..."

Just then, a voice that Ilúvier was extremely familiar with came from a room on the third floor of the inn.

"Oh, oh, so sweet!"

"Vera!"

Ilúvier's expression suddenly changed, her black robe trembled violently, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Hey, Ilúvier! Didn't you just say we couldn't just rush in? Honestly, if you're going to do it, just do it already!"

Without a second thought, Fiona pulled the longsword stuck in the ground, then stomped her right foot hard on the ground. With a muffled crack, the hard stone floor was shattered by her foot, and spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere.

She bent her knees slightly and shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the window on the third floor of the hotel.

Chapter Twenty: So that shameless fellow wasn't human, but an elf?!

boom--!

With a piercing cracking sound, the entire window shattered into countless glittering fragments!
