Chapter 149: Dark Demon, King of Good Fortune
Dark was not particularly skilled at rejecting things.
Moreover, he was also interested in this himself, so he followed the shop attendant back into the secret room.
This time, the room had clearly been tidied up. The unfinished products that were only meant for testing reactions had been sent back to the factory for repair, leaving only a few finished products still kept here.
Among them, the most eye-catching was still that goldfish grass that seemed to have come straight from the underworld!
But next to the goldfish grass, there was an incredibly adorable creature that instantly captured Dark’s full attention!
“Is this a fennec fox?” asked Dark, feeling extremely surprised.
The shop attendant saw that the reaction was good and said proudly, “That’s right, this is one kind of fox-eared grass!—the fennec fox grass!”
The fennec fox is one of the smallest canine species on Earth. They have developed particularly cute large ears through long-term natural selection. Their fur ranges from milky white to light yellow, and the tip of their tails is usually black.
The fennec fox in front of him was a very standard type, but its tiny size could be compared to the small kitten in Dark’s dorm room. Dark almost fell in love with it at first sight!
Originally, “Bliss” went well with “foxes.” Maybe if luck was on his side, he could even conjure up something like Daji?
While thinking about it, Dark asked, “How many credits does this pot of fox-eared grass cost?”
The shop attendant replied, “Fox-eared grass hasn’t been mass-produced yet, so the price is a bit higher. At least a hundred credits per pot.”
Dark said, “Fine. Does this pot of fox-eared grass require special cat juice?”
The shop attendant answered, “No, it doesn’t. It can use the same cat juice as ordinary cat grass.”
…
Not long after.
Dark left the “Cat Grass Shop” with the fox-eared grass.
Then he spent some time on the street, buying everything needed for the fox-eared grass.
With this pot of fox-eared grass, he felt that his research was about to make a big breakthrough.
…
Previously, he was still hesitating between continuing to cultivate “Bliss Fruit” or storing “Bliss” to develop “Bliss IV.”
Now he didn’t have to hesitate anymore.
The amount of “Bliss” required for “Bliss IV” was still undetermined.
But now he already had the new fox-eared grass.
He didn’t need to hesitate at all.
…
Back in his dorm, Dark didn’t rush to cultivate the “Bliss Fruit.”
He planned to spend a day or two cultivating a bond with this fox-eared grass.
In any case, he had another sleeping basket by his bed…
Until Saturday night.
He finally took out the mana dropper and used the “Dragonfly Drip Technique” again to extract the overflowing “Bliss” from his brain.
Thus,
The 5 points of “Bliss” stored last month, plus the 1.5 points from yesterday, and another 1.5 points from today, added up to a total of 8 points!
At this point, the “Bliss” indicator dropped from 109 to 106, entering a safe range.
Next, he didn’t plan to risk increasing “Bliss” further; instead, he wanted to reduce “Pride” first.
But that was something to consider later.
…
After extracting enough “Bliss,” Dark confined the cat grass in the bedroom, taking only the fox-eared grass to the balcony. Then he opened the worm tree’s protective barrier and injected 1/3 of today’s “Bliss” into one of the worm branches.
Thus, one of the worm branches on the worm tree now contained 3 points of “Bliss,” while two others each held 2 points.
Dark picked up the fox-eared grass, allowing it to absorb the “Bliss.”
The effect was immediate and unchanged by the season.
First, the emblem of “Bliss” appeared above the fox-eared grass, then it sprouted buds, formed flower buds, bloomed under the moonlight, and finally bore fruit.
It was a fruit rich in “Bliss”!
Next, Dark injected the remaining 1 point of “Bliss” into the worm branch for continued storage, then he remembered to close the protective barrier and brought the hungry fox-eared grass back to the bedroom.
As the weather turned colder, Dark had already moved the cow-grass hut to a corner of the bedroom.
Now, all three “cat grasses” lived indoors. The dairy cow grass was quiet, the cat grass was active, and the fox-eared grass was unusually clingy.
Dark placed the crying fox-eared grass in the sleeping basket and began the experiment.
The steps of the experiment were familiar to him.
First, he summoned “Huhu.”
Then he placed the “Bliss Fruit” inside Huhu’s shell, waiting for the fruit to dissolve and ferment.
The fermentation time was about half an hour.
Half an hour later, he obtained a cup of “Bliss Fruit” juice.
Next, he used the basic conjure method “Avian-beast Kin-General System” for the conjuring.
He used a blank mana card worth 50 credits.
The core material was the “Bliss Fruit.”
As for the final result of the conjuring, it was entirely up to fate.
…
This was a conjuring with no specific direction.
Even the attribute selection of the conjuring method could produce other attributes, such as the “General System.”
This made the randomness of the experiment greater and increased the possibility of failure.
…
However, when Dark conjured mana spirit cards, he always seemed to have good fortune.
The entire experimental process was unusually smooth.
Even after activating the first conjuring array, since a single “Bliss Fruit” juice wasn’t sufficient to complete the conjuring, he solved the problem by adding additional materials at the last moment!
Besides the “Bliss Fruit,” Dark eventually added the “Andersen potion” he received from Sister Carrian!
Green potions and Andersen potions, one targeting illusions, the other targeting brainwashing.
Dark chose the Andersen potion, which could remove most curses and mental manipulations affecting the brain.
Originally, he wanted to turn the Andersen potion into a mana potion card, but as his knowledge accumulated, he realized that with his current level, it was impossible to turn such a high-level mana potion into a card, so he put it aside.
When he added the materials, he poured all three tubes of Andersen potion into the mix!
Only then did the light of the first conjuring array reach its peak, and the process of making the mana spirit card advanced to the final melting step.
-The mana card transformed into a light cocoon.
…
Dark reached out gently, continuously pouring mana into the light cocoon.
Similar to when he made the “Big Milk Jar,” the mana inside the cocoon fluctuated constantly, and various materials continued to melt. It took about five minutes before stabilizing.
At this point, Dark’s anticipation for the mana spirit card reached its peak.
He was very curious about what kind of mana spirit would be conjured without any deliberate direction?!
So he quickly took a mercury knife and carefully cut open the light cocoon.
From the slit came a dreamlike pink glow.
It was the color of “Bliss,” and also the color of fairies.
Dark was slightly enchanted by it!
