"sit down."
Hearing the sound, Tsubakihara Mira closed the door, looked around the huge living room curiously, took note of the sofa and refrigerator on the side, then walked over to Luo Shu and sat down.
Seeing Tsubakihara Mira looking around, Luo Shu immediately explained with a smile:
“I’m sorry, because this is a start-up organization, there are very few supporting facilities here.”
"I understand." Tsubakihara Mira nodded, then looked at Luo Shu's face and asked curiously, "How should I awaken my abilities?"
"Just sit there, it will be fine soon."
As Luo Shu said this, he opened the system with his mind and approved the contract that had been signed previously.
The system responded quickly, and awakening occurred almost simultaneously after the contract was approved.
['Request' received, energy collection device activated, bestowal ceremony initiated. 】
The complicated ritual formation that Luo Shu had seen twice before rose up.
And for Mira Tsubakihara, who was seeing the ritual formation for the first time, everything was so magical that she slightly opened her lips and looked dazed, honest and cute.
[Congratulations to the host's family member 'Tsubakihara Mira' for awakening the normal ability 'Enhanced Understanding'. 】
Luo Shu frowned when he saw the prompt. While he was still wondering what kind of ability this was, he saw a new prompt.
[Congratulations to the host's family member 'Tsubakihara Mira' for awakening the normal ability 'Skillful Hands'. 】
Seeing this, Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked the system:
"Can this first awakening of abilities awaken multiple abilities?"
[Answer: If a clan has the potential for a special ability, but the potential is not enough to support the manifestation of that ability, the ability will be downgraded and split.]
Seeing the explanation, Luo Shu was surprised. How should he explain this situation?
'You have a talent for this, but the talent is a little lacking?'
Is this lucky or unlucky?
'What is Miss Mira's talent?'
[Answer: The elite skill 'Alchemy' is composed of the elite skill 'Deconstruction', the elite skill 'Manufacturer', and the elite skill 'Scholar'.]
[Currently, the family member 'Tsubakihara Mira' lacks the talent for 'analysis'. It is recommended to purchase the common ability material 'Observer Dust' to obtain this talent. ]
"Alchemy's inferior ability, lack of analytical talent..."
When Luo Shu saw these contents, he looked at the natural beauty in front of him with a very subtle expression.
It would be fine if I just saved someone and she became the heroine, but she actually has the talent of an alchemist?
Is this how the heroine is favored? Is the woman who is the goddess of fate a lesbian?
At this moment, after the ceremony was completed, Mira Tsubakihara opened her eyes again, and felt that everything in her vision seemed to have changed.
“I always feel that the world is a little different.”
When Luo Shu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he explained with a smile:
"According to past practice, after the ability is awakened, the body will evolve to match the ability within 1-3 days, so there is no need to worry about the body. The current changes are normal."
"I understand, Mr. Spirit." Tsubakihara Mira gave Luo Shu a mischievous smile: "Thank you for your answer."
"Is it necessary to transfer knowledge after becoming a member of the clan..." Luo Shu looked somewhat helpless when he saw Mira Tsubakihara teasing him.
How can he be considered a god now? If we really have to count, he is probably only as good as the eight million monsters in the island country. It's so embarrassing to say it out loud.
But as a fun relationship with a beautiful girl, it’s okay... Luo Shu added softly in his heart.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new clan and gaining 10000 points. The monthly points will increase to 3000 points. ]
Seeing the prompt popped up by the system, Luo Shu felt a little better. He looked up at Tsubakihara Mira and asked:
"What do you understand now about your abilities?"
"Luo Shu-kun, are you referring to the lower level of alchemy ability?" Tsubakihara Mira was confused for a moment, but soon understood the current situation from the necessary knowledge of the clan: "Are you referring to the 'analysis' ability talent that I lack?"
"Yes."
As Luo Shu spoke, he exchanged the "Observer Dust" in the system and materialized a glass cup in the station:
"This is Observer Dust, the material for obtaining the talent of analysis. Don't refuse it. Just think of it as an investment from me in you."
Fortunately, the price of observer dust is not high, only 1000 points, and the ability obtained is the ordinary level of "observation".
Luo Shu, who had just obtained 1 points from Mira Tsubakihara, was naturally willing to make this investment.
Moreover, from the Demon's Heart and Lucky Wallet obtained previously, we can see the importance of an alchemist to an organization.
He is the core figure who can elevate the secret organization's use and exploration of abyssal items from the 'barbaric state' to the 'industrial age'.
So even though it was a bit unfair to Shiyu and Eriri, Luo Shu still took the initiative to spend money to ensure that Mira Tsubakihara supplemented her skill talents.
In fact, if his current points were not only 16983, which was less than 3, Luo Shu would really like to try what kind of benefits could be generated after improving Tsubakihara Mira's three skills to excellent.
But because of insufficient points, Luo Shu had to give up this idea.
“Treating it as an investment?”
Tsubakihara Mira murmured to herself, and then smiled at Luo Shu:
"As a follower of the gods, I have no choice but to accept Luo Shujun's investment~~"
(Activity time: January 1 to February 21)
Chapter 38: Opinions of the 'Prop Expert'
Mira Tsubakihara, who has a 'capitalist' background, understands the significance of investment very well, but to her, what Luo Shu calls 'investment' now is more like a 'sophistry'.
Perhaps there is hope of gaining benefits from abilities, but Mira Tsubakihara feels that what Luo Shu covets may not only be abilities. After looking up at Luo Shu, Mira Tsubakihara picked up the 'Observer Dust' that appeared on the table, thought about it, and had another cup in her hand.
In terms of providing common items, the system in the base is simply a universal elf, able to provide almost all functions that facilitate life in society, provided that the value of those functions does not exceed 1 point.
Luo Shu, who knew this, was not surprised at all when Mira Tsubakihara produced the cup.
At this time, Tsubakihara Mira had already poured the dust into the cup, shook it under Luo Shu's gaze, then closed her eyes and drank it directly as if she was drinking Chinese medicine.
Luo Shu, who was sitting opposite, could clearly see the pulsation in Miss Mira's neck. He watched Mira swallow the observer's dust, waited for five or six seconds, and asked:
"How about it?"
Tsubakihara Mira frowned and said uncomfortably: "I don't think there has been much change... Well, perhaps, I need something suitable to trigger it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu immediately spent 300 points from the system to exchange for a fake 'Devil's Heart', and then placed it in front of Miss Mira:
"Look at this."
"'Devil's Heart'?"
Tsubakihara Mira looked at Luo Shu in confusion, then picked up the ring Luo Shu had placed in front of her, squinted her eyes and looked at it, and said in a daze:
"Huh? Why do I feel like, if I'm given enough time and materials, I can create something that looks like 'Devil's Heart'..."
Such a discovery surprised Mira Tsubakihara, but her intuition was particularly strong. She could even clearly "see" what kind of materials were needed to make the Demon's Heart.
'10ml of diluted succubus blood' '3 carats of ruby' '30 grams of silver'... After reading the materials and even deducing the specific quantities, Tsubakihara Mira raised her head and stared at Luo Shu blankly:
"I always feel like I'm going to have no home."
At this moment, Mira Tsubakihara realized the significant contribution her ability would make to her family's business, and also realized the risks that this ability brought.
Even though Mira Tsubakihara believes in her family, she believes in their "capital sense" more, and understands that family affection is the thing she can least afford to gamble with in this world.
Once her family knew that she could now copy abyss items like the 'Devil's Heart', even her doting grandfather would probably not be able to suppress the pursuit of 'benefits' by other family members.
When Luo Shu heard Tsubakihara Mira say that she "would have no home", he was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed the worry in the other person's heart.
Facing this situation for the first time, Luo Shu didn't know how to comfort her, and could only say in a repetitive manner:
"If confidentiality is done well, there shouldn't be too much to worry about."
After Luo Shu finished speaking, he felt that this statement was not convincing, so he added:
"This ring is not actually the Devil's Heart. It is a fake I got. The cost is about 200th of the original one, and its function is also highly degraded. So your worries are unlikely to occur now."
Luo Shu did not lie about this value, because it was the pricing within the system.
There is obviously a huge gap in ability between the alchemists who make elite props and the alchemists who make inferior imitations.
So, although Mira Tsubakihara's worries still exist, at least they are not as risky as she imagined.
"Fake?"
Tsubakihara Mira was startled for a moment, then carefully observed the ring on her hand, deduced its function based on the material it was made of, and said in surprise:
"It can only charm one creature, and it can only charm one person. The command can only take effect on one person, and it lasts for 5 minutes. It is ineffective against individuals with strong mental strength and those who are extremely resistant to commands... It is indeed a degraded product."
Mira Tsubakihara thought about the 'Devil's Heart' she had touched yesterday and was keenly aware of the difference.
Even if it was the real thing, she didn't know how to fight it even with her awakened abilities. But as for the fake, she felt that she could use her mental power to defeat the fake's commands at any time. Moreover, her mental power seemed to be growing rapidly and was far from reaching the lower limit of the 'normal state'.
Realizing this, Tsubakihara Mira breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like I'm worrying too much."
When Tsubakihara Mira was observing just now, Luo Shu, who was sitting opposite her, could clearly see the faint blue patterns appearing in Miss Mira's pupils when she was serious.
Is this the phenomenon of the lower-level ability of "Analysis" being activated? Luo Shu thought to himself, while looking at the system and scanning the prompts.
[Family member 'Tsubakihara Mira' gains the normal ability 'Observation'. 】
[The talent of the family member 'Tsubakihara Mira' has been supplemented, the normal skill 'Observation', the normal skill 'Strengthening Comprehension', and the normal skill 'Skillful Hands' have formed a stable structure, and the excellent skill 'Prop Making' has been obtained. ]
Seeing this, Luo Shu immediately understood Tsubakihara Mira's current condition and deduced that the other party should have also improved her rank.
According to the three excellent-level skills he acquired yesterday, his individual status has been raised to 'excellent'. Mira Tsubakihara's current status should be at the 'ordinary' level.
Of course, this so-called ordinary is not the ordinary of ordinary people, but the "ordinary" in the life level of those who have entered the realm of capable people.
Compared to the general public who are not included in the evaluation, this kind of "ordinary" is already a crushing victory.
"However, a skill composed of three ordinary skills can be rated one level higher and become an excellent skill, but 'Alchemy' composed of three elite skills is still at the elite level. Is it because the hero stage is very special? A further evolution of life?"
"And my three excellent abilities are not complementary, so they are three separate skills instead of forming a stronger skill?"
While Luo Shu was thinking this, Tsubakihara Mira had already taken off the ring, put it back on the table, and said:
"Are you planning to hand this fake over to SDS, Luo Shujun?"
Luo Shu shook his head and denied it, "No, Director Ju didn't ask me to hand it over. He asked me to keep it for use. This fake is only used to deal with inspections."
"You were asked to keep it for use?" Mira Tsubakihara was stunned for a moment, then she remembered something and said with understanding, "Leave the Abyss Items inside SDS? It seems that Director Tachibana is planning to help her friend make further progress in Zeus Industries."
Luo Shu only listened and took note of the intrigues of the large arms dealers. If he was really about to get into big trouble, Luo Shu would probably fake his death and run away, or throw himself under the spell of Miss Mira.
After all, he joined SDS just to get through the initial period when he was unfamiliar with the world, not to risk his life for the benefit of certain people.
Of course, this kind of behavior of taking advantage and running away is very despicable, but working does not mean risking one's life, and Luo Shu's life is not that cheap.
Therefore, 'slacking off at work' and 'an ordinary person among the elites' were his subsequent 'labels' in SDS.
For this tag, powerful abyssal items are naturally not necessary, so the effect of the fake "Devil's Heart" is just right:
"How about it? This thing should be able to fool the research team of Zeus Industries, right?"
Although the opponent, Mira Tsubakihara, had just acquired an ability, Luo Shu would not underestimate the power of skills, so he naturally asked Miss Mira Tsubakihara, who had just become an "equipment expert".
Hearing this, Tsubakihara Mira thought about it for a moment.
Although she was not in charge of work related to abyss props at home, her aunt who was in charge of that work did tell her some basic knowledge in order to help her guard against these dangerous props.
This also made Mira Tsubakihara's understanding of abyss props surpass that of anyone else in the astronomy club.
"According to my understanding, the existing technology cannot fully analyze the composition of abyssal items, especially powerful abyssal items. Even if a lot of information is analyzed, they will not believe that this information is the complete content."
"So if nothing unexpected happens, the experts at Zeus Industries won't notice any problems. Even if they do, they will just think that the Devil's Heart is just like that."
“So there’s no problem with safety, right?”
When Luo Shu said this, he picked up the "fake" on the table, tossed it up gently, caught it in mid-air, and smiled:
"That way, things will be simple."
