The Chief's Needs (Some Plot Details from the Previous Chapter Revised)
"Of course, Miss Justice."
Luther and the Hanged Man exchanged a glance and nodded.
With the power of M and that sea, he can use the "Spectator" Pathway ability and does not need the props made with the "Psychiatrist" Characteristic. He originally planned to resell them, and it would be even better if he could sell them to a reliable person in the Gray Fog.
That's great.
Audrey said happily.
Actually, she had another option: to directly purchase the Psychiatrist's Beyonder Characteristic. She was almost finished with the Sequence 8 "Telepathist" Potion and needed Potion materials for the next Sequence. However, she had already made contact with the Psychology Alchemists, so obtaining the Pathway materials wouldn't be a problem; it would only cost her a little money.
In comparison, this Beyonder Characteristic is more appealing when made into an object.
After all, I don't have any Beyonder Item of my own yet.
She thought to herself happily.
Klein manipulated the [World] puppet, looked around, and spoke in a hoarse, somber voice, "Continue to help me find the Characteristic of the Human Skin Shadow."
He lingered on Luther for a moment.
Don't look at me, I can't help you until I get in touch with Sharron.
Luther thought to himself.
I'll keep an eye on it.
"Justice," Audrey said confidently. Now that she had joined the Psychology Alchemists, she had gained a new avenue for advancement.
"I'll give it a try."
"[The Magician] Fors spoke cautiously."
In fact, she recently crossed paths with a man Dorian Gray, a descendant of the Abraham Family. This family, which controlled the Apprentice Pathway, was once one of the world's top families, but is now on the verge of extinction due to a strange Curse.
Dorian Gray has high hopes for Fors and is trying to become her Teacher in the extraordinary realm. If a mentor-student relationship is established, Miss Salted Fish will have a powerful backer, becoming a "channel" for providing assistance.
"I can give it a try too."
[Sun] Derrick replied, "Um, I've been out of surveillance for a while now, and Elder Lovia hasn't bothered me."
That's because she's also wary of you.
Luther thought to himself.
After a brief silence, Alger the Hanged Man spoke, "Help me find the recipe for the Potion 'Wind-blessed'."
"I have."
Luther immediately replied, "Potion and Beyonder Characteristic are available."
One Lamb Mr. A's Grazing is Wind-blessed, and as for the Potion recipe, he only needs to slightly Spirit Channeling the Lamb's soul to know it.
Above the Gray Fog, everyone was taken aback.
Another Sequence 6 Beyonder Characteristic?
This feature wasn't among the Characteristic he mentioned he was selling!
No wonder he's Shepherd; he's managed to control so many resources!
"."
Alger, the Hanged Man, paused briefly before asking in a strange tone, "How much money do I need to get all of this?" He hadn't expected it to come so easily; he had thought it would take a lot of effort. While this was good news, the bad news was that he probably didn't have enough cash prepared for it.
"Sequence 6 Potion recipe, with a market price below 2000 pounds, and its Beyonder Characteristic includes two Main Ingredient, each costing 1500 pounds, totaling 3000 pounds."
As Luther spoke, he did the math, "The total comes to less than 5,000 pounds. But since we're all under Mr. Fool's watchful eye, I can give you a discount; 4,500 pounds in total will do."
"I understand, Mr. [Temperance], thank you for your generosity."
Alger nodded, his heart burning with both excitement and anxiety. [Temperance] had indeed given him a great deal, saving him several hundred pounds, but he still had a shortfall of at least 1,000 pounds. The feeling of being able to obtain what he desired so soon, yet having to wait because of the Pound restriction, was truly unbearable.
We need to find a way to make money.
He thought to himself that he wished he could leave the Gray Fog right now and return to the Real World to get things done.
After that, no one raised the need for a transaction Tarot Club, and everyone naturally moved on to the third part, which was the free exchange session.
"Would it be convenient for us to chat for a bit?"
Luther looked up at the tall figure beside him.
". OK."
[Sun] replied with a caution that seemed disproportionate to his physique.
"The Black Knight's Potion recipe now belongs to your chief, right?"
Strictly speaking, it's a public warehouse belonging to City of Silver.
"These details aren't important; the final decision rests with your chief."
Luther interrupted abruptly, "I've heard you mention City of Silver's contribution system before. Can I assume that as long as the contribution is valuable enough, I can exchange it for something from the warehouse?"
"Uh, about the same?"
[The Sun] pondered for a moment and then replied.
At this point in their conversation, everyone on the Gray Fog understood the meaning of "[Temperance]" and guessed what his next question would be.
"So what do you think we should offer to impress your chief and obtain the recipe for the 'Black Knight' Potion?"
As expected, Luther's words did not surprise them.
"This."
[Sun] Derrick was taken aback.
Impress the Chief Executive?
The image of Colin Iliad, the Colin of City of Silver, involuntarily appeared in his mind. The stern old man was over a hundred years old, with gray hair and a tall stature. He was Sequence 4 Demigod of the Warrior Pathway, Demon Hunter.
What does a chief executive officer need?
Derrick couldn't fathom the thoughts of that stern-faced chief; he always seemed to be working tirelessly for City of Silver, silently shouldering everything.
"Sorry, I don't know either."
He answered honestly.
"Then just go ask him directly."
Luther said, "Consider it a favor."
"Ask the chief directly?"
Derrick was dumbfounded and almost didn't believe what Luther said.
"Yes."
Luther said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, your chief already knows you have something special about you and will maintain a certain understanding with you. Just treat this as a normal transaction; act as my middleman and ask about the price. Of course, I'll pay you for it."
For the chief of City of Silver, Derrick represents another possible hope for escape, and the chief should take his words seriously.
"Please allow me to think about it."
Derrick hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Give me a reply as soon as possible.
Luther said.
That concludes their conversation.
Mr. [Temperance] is so proactive! It's obvious he's extremely eager to become Demigod.
Audrey thought to herself.
Then, she looked at Luther and said, "I heard that Mr. A of the Aurora Order is still holding gatherings as usual."
She was testing Luther to confirm whether what she had seen was indeed [Temperance].
The previous chapter has been revised to include some plot points, removing Audrey's deduction that Luther knew about and possessed Rosellean.
