Like This Cute One, I Have Two More at Home

Racial Core [Evolution].

He obtained this item from the Orchard of Orchardist, and it can be attached to Equipment, props, or Skill to cause a qualitative change in them.

--In a way, this stuff is a universal additive.

Do you still have any of this? I'll buy them all!

After taking the Racial Core with some initial doubt and looking at them for a while, Withered Heart's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to ask him questions.

"Where did you get this kind of all-purpose, Special Material?!"

"This is the only one that drops from this Dungeon."

Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.

"How about it, is it going to work?"

"This Special Material is a super versatile additive; it'll definitely work with books!!"

As if she were holding a precious treasure, Withered Heart looked at it with obvious affection.

"No Crafter could remain indifferent to such a versatile material. It's just Perfect -Level Equipment, right? Leave it to me!!"

"So what's the success rate now?"

40%!

"So you're saying it only increased the success rate by 30%?"

Looking at the Young Girl in front of him with an expression that said "this time it's all settled, "Bai Zhi suddenly felt a toothache.

"What do you know? The first 10% is the highest probability, and this 40% is the lowest probability. How can you compare the two?"

Withered Heart glared at him with slight displeasure.

"Nothing is ever foolproof. I can only say that I will do my best. If I answered with a 100% probability, that would be irresponsible, okay?"

"How much is it in total?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded in approval.

"This one is 10,000, and the others are 3,000 each, totaling 19,000 Game Coins. I'll give you a 9.9% discount, so I'll charge you 18,810. Because of this universal material, I'll deduct another 3,000, making it 15,810 Game Coins in total."

When it comes to important matters like money, the Puppet Girl's calculation speed is incredibly fast.

Finally, she added an extra sentence.

"Don't think it's expensive. I've already given you the lowest price. If you can provide me with a large number of Achievement Point, the price can be lowered further."

"Since we're already acquaintances, how about we round it down to zero?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi started to negotiate.

"Okay, then 15800 it is."

As she put the Extraordinary Material on the table into her Inventory, Withered Heart nodded generously.

"Besides that, what Type of Equipment do you want to make? Offensive, defensive, utility, specialized—roughly these four Type. Which one do you choose? It would be even better if there were relevant Equipment templates."

"The rounding down I was talking about isn't this kind of rounding down... Never mind, I'm just teasing you."

With a slight smirk, Bai Zhi pulled out [Radiance] from his Inventory and handed it over.

"Let's go for the offensive type, the more aggressive the better, and the other three can be defensive or supportive. How long will it take approximately?"

"About three to four days... Do you still want this?"

Picking up the Radiance and glancing at its attributes, Withered Heart waved it in his direction.

"If you don't want it, I can use it as a material to incorporate into that piece of Equipment, which will slightly reduce the Equipment requirements and also has a chance to inherit related attribute effects."

"What? You can put finished products into those materials?"

As he transferred the 15,800 Game Coins to the other party, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly after hearing their inquiry.

"We can't add any more; adding one more item is the limit."

Shaking her head, Withered Heart stood up from the Sofa.

"As my first major client, leave me your address or phone number, and I'll deliver it to you once it's finished."

"You only offered a 9.9% discount to your first big client? How dare you even say that..."

Looking up at the Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.

"Don't you know that talking about money hurts feelings?"

"But talking about feelings costs money!!"

One of the Young Girl gave a rather decisive answer.

"I've never seen anyone as despicable as you."

After Withered Heart left the Reception Hall in a hurry, and after running to lock the door to prevent the arrival of the next uninvited guest, Fireworks of Romance glared at Bai Zhi with great dissatisfaction.

"Having lived on Earth for so long, have you ever considered going back to Mars?"

"How can you call this stealing? This stuff isn't very tasty for Tong, so I just ate it for her. It was nothing, nothing to brag about."

Bai Zhi waved his hand modestly.

Without a sense of smell and taste, everything tastes like cardboard to Tong.

"Is her name Hitomi? Bai Tong?"

She glared at Bai Zhi with obvious disdain, then focused all her attention on Tong Fireworks of Romance, who was hiding behind Bai Zhi.

"You deliberately brought her to a place like this, is your sister also Player?"

"Oh, no, it's because she wanted to go out and have fun, so I brought her along."

Bai Zhi calmly spoke.

"Isn't it cute?"

Fireworks of Romance: "..."

"... Getting back to the point, are you really not considering joining my very promising Player Guild?"

Suppressing the urge to complain, and seeing that Tong still showed no intention of showing herself from behind someone, Fireworks of Romance steered the conversation back to the main topic, her words carrying a hint of unwavering determination.

"I'm still short of a Vice Guild Master, and I think you'd be perfect for the role. Plus, there are several girls in the team. Aren't you really interested?"

"Excuse me, I'm already in the Player Guild. I came here specifically to learn from you about books."

Bai Zhi spread his hands and shrugged slightly.

"Could you please answer my questions briefly? For example, what should a guild Guild Master be aware of?"

"You're planning to start your own guild?"

As soon as Bai Zhi asked that question, Fireworks of Romance realized what was happening and immediately became flustered.

"No way! Building a guild is exhausting. Look at me, I'm already overwhelmed with just six people. Wouldn't it be better to join another guild? Here's what we'll do: if you're willing to join my guild, and you fancy anyone in it, I'll personally match you up. I guarantee it'll be a perfect match! You can't possibly have that many pretty girls in your own guild, can you?"

"Speaking of which, why were you always thinking of dragging me in here?"

Looking at the Fireworks of Romance before him, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"There's always a reason behind unusual behavior..."

"Hook up with someone's coattails."

With his head held high and chest puffed out, the president of the Guild Master looked utterly self-righteous.

"Bringing Big Shot into the group, isn't that a common tactic?"

"... I'm sorry, I don't have those worldly desires."

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

"By the way, you were in a meeting just now, right? Excuse Yay!! Are you there? I need to talk to her about something."

"Her? How could she possibly be here with me at this time? She doesn't exist."

Fireworks of Romance curled her lip.

"She is currently experiencing the most painful thing in the world. It's so horrible to watch, not just in terms of how horrible it is, but in a truly inhumane way."

"What is it?"

Thinking of the twelve high-difficulty Dungeon that remain, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Oh, going to school."

"..."
