Overlord Journey of Tima, the Creator God

Although Aya could endure it as best she could at Aya's request, Aya still couldn't bear the sight of all those blue-faced expressions.

After all, they had been summoned by mid-tier or higher skills, and with her series of buffs, their base stats were extremely high.

There was no helping it. Beginner-level summons simply had no bovine magical beasts—no, there were some, but they were all humanoid, namely the so-called minotaurs. They clearly weren't suitable for plowing fields.

"So exhausting." Lying on the lap of the mage girl Preya—whose full name was now "Preya Tiamat"—Aya remained troubled.

"Camellia's thighs are fleshier and softer, but Preya's are slimmer and firmer." Her thoughts drifted without her noticing as Preya combed Aya's hair.

"If your legs go numb, you have to tell me, okay?" Aya didn't forget to remind Preya of that. She wasn't a bad mother who abused children.

"They won't, Mother. I have resistance to abnormal statuses," Preya replied gracefully. "Mother, have you still not found suitable plow oxen?"

"Not yet. Oxen, oxen..." Aya muttered as she reconsidered the stats of those bovine magical beasts in her mind.

"What if you changed your approach and used horse-type magical beasts, other creatures, or even golems instead?" Preya suggested.

"Change my approach... oxen, horses, golems... That's it!" Aya cried out. "Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses!"

A product of YGGDRASIL's collaboration with a historical animated series that had been popular at the time: the mechanism technique, Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses.

They could be made from all kinds of materials, from wood to Audman Steel. They were tank-type summoned creatures ranging from level 45 to level 80, possessing the traits "Fortitude" and "Taunt."

When it was first released, it sparked widespread discussion. Most opinions were along the lines of, "These trash developers don't understand history at all!"

"What the hell did they make? Isn't this just a wooden cow?"

"Riding someone else's popularity is disgusting!"

"I think Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses are pretty good. The best part is that they have one less undead attribute than Death Knights."

"Zhuge XX is going to call the police!"

There were also opinions like "trash developers," "trash developers," and "trash developers."

Of course, after it received an upgrade—especially when Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses above level 70 were given the skill "Transfer" to match their original role as transporters—the public opinion probably became things like, "Praise the developers," and "Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses are so useful."

Naturally, it later went through several rounds of nerfs, and once the collaboration anime's popularity faded, it eventually disappeared from the players' sight.

But thinking about it now, this might have been the most suitable "plow ox" at the moment. It didn't consume food, never grew tired, was strong and obedient, and Aya was very glad she had specifically learned this skill.

"Preya, you're really smart." Aya happily said as she reached out and hugged Preya around the neck.

"Huh? Really?" The mage girl's face visibly reddened, and Aya immediately noticed.

Preya looked down at Aya lying on her lap from above.

Oh no, my head is going to catch fire. The girl thought so, but the thought lasted only three seconds.

"If it's Preya, I can see her face. But with Camellia, I can't see it from this angle," Aya casually remarked.

Crack. It was the sound of a heart breaking—the heart beneath that flat chest shattered.

"Mother."

"Mm-hm?"

"Let's clean your ears." Preya plucked out one of her hairs and gently blew on it. The silvery-white strand turned into an ear pick.
