74 -68 I am Miss Miko’s Dog
Night fell.
A bowl of spicy winter meat soup, stewed with Tongue of Fire grass ground from the very life of Undead, coarse rock salt, and jackal wolf meat.
Served with bread made from ground thorns of mutant roots and stems.
“Ha!” The sight of Aluna’s slightly plumper cheeks told of how comfortable her recent days had been. freewёbnoνel.com
The two ladies who had recently joined the Star Dragon Ridge outpost did not hold back either; no one was shy about eating.
Lind looked at his bowl of “meat soup,” which was so filled with meat that he couldn’t see any broth, and said, “We don’t have any problems with food supply for the moment, not just here, but Prey Town can supply it as well.”
It wasn’t that he was overly generous, but that the Undead farming was a bit too zealous, leading to a surplus of food that they could barely finish.
The fields of the Mad Wise Ones’ village would likely be completely worn out before long.
Having taken control of Prey Town, Lind had to come up with a new currency policy, and Gold Badges definitely wouldn’t work.
Using Blessed Weapons as a printing press for currency seemed to him a complete waste, and shaking off the influence of the Ronin brothers was also crucial.
Reintroducing Rand’s Gold Coins was a good choice, and it was essential to separate the currency of the Undead and NPCs to ensure some Undead wouldn’t go to extremes.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
As the number of people slowly increased, the habit of eating together also needed to change; the room was not big enough to accommodate over a dozen people.
After the meal, the Blacksmith’s wife Lian kept casting significant glances at Lind, not bothering to hide her intentions.
Lind was also tempted; spending his days surrounded by men, did they really think he was some kind of saint?
If he had the choice, he would still envy Ronin’s decadent lifestyle.
But who could know that what really drove Lind forward was not a mission or honor but his greatest reliance at the moment…
the Undead players!
Therefore, he had to forcefully suppress his inner desires, arranging for Lian to stay with Aluna temporarily and then entering another room with Miss Miko, who carried a huge backpack.
The most important task was brewing Magic Potions!
“What Magic Potions do you have mastery over?” Lind’s gaze focused on the Bunny-toothed Witch’s silver-white hair, which seemed illusions, as though a touch of moonlight rested on her hair tips.
When his eyes landed there, the moonlight suddenly flitted away.
“Currently, I have five types!”
Miss Miko held up four delicate fingers and waved them in Lind’s face, “One is an enhancement potion, one is a healing potion, and another is an energy potion.”
Remembering the enhancement potion he had previously spent a lot of money on, Lind still hadn’t drunk it.
“What else?”
“The one you gave.”
Lind realized it was the advanced Magic Potion he had obtained from the Sun Church.
“The last one…” He noticed Miss Miko seemed reluctant to explain; could it be the Magic Potion she used to become a Witch?
“A Witch, Believer of Yuni,” she gestured to herself, “If not chosen by Yuni, one transforms into a monster, which is very dangerous.”
No one wants to create a competitor with the same powers as themselves.
Not just Miss Miko; even Lind, who wanted to train the Undead to fight for him, wouldn’t just hand over his Great Knight Magic Potion to the Undead.
If he suddenly had 60 additional Great Knights, to whom would Star Dragon Ridge belong?
Lind asked, “What about the Magic Potion formulas you received from Ronin?”
Miss Miko’s eyes widened, “What?
That’s mine!”
“I can’t brew Magic Potions, but I need them,” Lind emphasized, “We agreed on that before, didn’t we?”
“Indeed we did,” Miss Miko nodded with a face that suggested she felt cheated and misled.
“I can provide you with some materials as compensation, or Gold Badges or some other currency if you prefer.”
“Just materials!” she exclaimed immediately, fearful that Lind might offer compensation in some other form.
Only a fool would not agree; she was already managing to save a potion for herself, and now with Lind offering materials, wasn’t it just like earning three portions for every potion she brewed!
“Hmm,” Lind nodded.
He didn’t mind how much Miss Miko profited as long as the Undead didn’t feel exploited.
“Hey, we agreed!”
“Of course!” Lind nodded, “So what other Magic Potion formulas do you have?”
“The potion you gave me,” Miss Miko’s expression was a little displeased, “I knew I wasn’t wrong before, Ronin is indeed a Curse Witch!”
“A Curse Witch?”
“Heretics not recognized by Yuni, who deceive Yuni’s eyes with the power of Magic Potions and use Yuni’s powers.”
“How is that different from a Witch?” Lind pointed at her.
Miss Miko cleared her throat, “Of course, one can only use certain kinds of magic, and cannot hear Yuni’s voice.
They will never reach the Upper Rank in their lifetime!”
“So that’s how it is,” Lind nodded and asked, “Can you make this Magic Potion?”
Miss Mico gritted her teeth and glared with eyes wide, like an angry bunny, “That is heresy stealing Yuni’s power!
It’s an insult to the noble moon, a defilement!”
Lind looked at her, waiting for a response.
The next moment, Miss Mico, folding her arms, suddenly deflated and calmly said, “It’s going to cost extra!”
“Haha, alright!”
Money?
Materials?
They weren’t a problem at all.
“Anything else?” Lind felt that Miss Mico was definitely one of the most valuable NPCs he had lured to his side.
“Experience elixirs,” Miss Mico nodded, “I just got this Magic Potion formula from Lock, which can help one master their power faster and gain greater strength.”
“How long does it take to make a potion?
It can’t take all night every time, can it?”
That would be too slow.
“The first time is more time-consuming, and it’s not guaranteed to succeed.
Experimenting with new Magic Potion formulas must involve trials,” Miss Mico explained, “But if the first one is successful, afterwards I can brew up to a dozen batches of potions at once.”
Lind nodded, the efficiency sounded alright…
wait, something didn’t seem right.
The first time, trials?
“Huh,” he exhaled, “None of that is a problem.
Tell me what you need to make the potions, or you could go to the administration hall and post a quest there.”
“Post a quest?” She mulled over the phrase.
“I’ll take you to post one, and you’ll understand,” he said.
This time, Miss Mico nodded decisively, “Got it.”
“There’s one more thing,” Lind asked, “I’ve come across a head, can you reverse-engineer the potion from it?”
He described the situation with the Two-Headed People, and right now, Miss Mico was the only one who could help.
“Impossible!” She refused without a second thought, “Reverse-engineering potions isn’t hard, but in the few years since Magic Potion studies have flourished, there’s only been one method available for reverse-engineering: brute force!
In other words, it requires a lot of potions and a lot of life to be wasted in the process.”
“That…
shouldn’t be a problem either.”
Lind looked towards the closed door, his gaze seemingly piercing through it to the bustle of shadows outside.
Mico, “Ah?”
The person before her, could they be a Believer of the ‘Grim Reaper’ Za Za?
…
“New Quest!
Miss Mico’s Magic Potion Shop!”
“Build a Magic Potion Shop for Miss Mico to unlock the Magic Potion Store feature!”
Flawless Legs, standing at the entrance of the administration hall, shouted, “Come on, let’s get this quest done and the territory will get a major update!”
Miss Mico, standing beside Flawless Legs with a smile showing off her bunny teeth, looked at the faces of all shapes and sizes before her and said, “Thank you everyone for your hard work.
Once the Magic Potion Shop opens, you can come here to purchase various potions.
But before that, I need to talk about my requirements.”
She had been thinking of sleep and talking about housing tomorrow, but Lind directly brought her here to post a quest and told her that as long as her requests weren’t too ridiculous, her needs for the house would be met.
At first, she thought Lind was exaggerating, but seeing the enthusiastic crowd of Undead gathering, she realized she was wrong.
Perhaps Lind’s prestige at Star Dragon Ridge was truly unmatched.
“I need a two-story building, with an attic and a basement,” Miss Mico imagined her requirements, “And then, there are the rooms…”
She gestured, struggling to articulate.
“Is it like this?” A green-haired figure popped up.
Miss Mico inadvertently glanced at their face and got a fright.
She didn’t think anyone could be so ugly.
However, when she saw the paper in their hand, she was astonished and quickly nodded, “Yes, that’s it!
You draw really well!”
“Haha, just a bit of hand-drawing, no big deal~”
“But I might still want to make some changes here,” Miss Mico made full use of her charm and cuteness, finding that these people really liked her this way.
Without giving up anything, just a smile and a word of thanks were enough to reach her goal.
Could there be anything better in the world?
It wasn’t until an inopportune shout from the crowd that her smile faded.
“I am Miss Mico’s dog!!”
“Little legs, little legs, slurp-slurp~prprpr~”
It’s no wonder Lind had warned her that these Undead were a bit ‘off’ before.
Now she felt a strong urge to use her Witch-enchanted feet to kick their heads off.
