Chen Miao's request was naturally granted.
Before long, the paper-offering man brought everything he needed, and Chen Miao buried himself in his work.
This time, making the Six Livestock Dolls came a little more easily.
Last night, he had examined the Puppeteer's memories and gained a new status.
[Status: Manual Dexterity]
This status required no activation. It was a permanent passive effect that increased the flexibility of his wrists and fingers.
In the Puppeteer's memories, he had spent over twenty years training those hands.
Aside from a few unusual events, most of his memories were scenes of him practicing.
And now, in just one night, Chen Miao had acquired most of what the Puppeteer had spent twenty years mastering.
With the boost from manual dexterity, Chen Miao could split souls with even greater ease.
That day, Chen Miao worked from eight in the morning until eight at night, using fifty Ghost Cubes to make twenty Six Livestock Dolls.
His success rate in making Six Livestock Dolls had actually improved, but he had not let it show.
As a result, he pocketed more ghosts.
With fifty Ghost Cubes, Chen Miao could have pocketed twelve yesterday, taking a cut of roughly twenty-five percent.
But today, Chen Miao pocketed a full twenty ghosts-a forty-percent cut!
Today alone, he gained two taels of yin virtue!
Most importantly, taking his cut had not affected his output of Six Livestock Dolls.
Seven yesterday, twenty today.
Judging by the progress in the book, he should use up all the ghosts Elder Bamboo had in another two days.
By that calculation, Elder Bamboo must have had over two hundred ghosts on hand.
How did he get so many ghosts?
Did he stockpile them in advance, or does he have a way to produce ghosts in bulk?
