"Six Kids vs Carnivore Tree of Pitaya - 3" " °•○●
Ren took a few covers from his ring for the sleeping children and covered them. And for his wounds, he took out the medical supplies he had received from the Arc a few hours ago. Since there were no open physical wounds, he simply pulled it out of a liquid that prevented internal damage and accelerated healing. This liquid was extremely expensive, and Ren was very careful when spending it. Just a few drops in everyone's mouth.
The three children did not resist the drug and even went to sleep with satisfaction and confidence when they saw Ren. The white-haired boy, who was fourth, did not immediately go back to sleep, as if a few minutes' rest were enough. He looked around at Ren, the other stalker boy, and the sky before closing his eyes. He tried to memorize this scene. He even tried to get up after a few seconds, feeling energized.
He looked at Ren as if he was trying to memorize his face.
He was willing not to forget the help he had received that day.
Despite being two watchers, Ren took a few ingredients out of his robe pocket and turned around to prepare a mix. When he needed other supplies, he would usually put her hands in her big pockets and pull out meaningless items.
The children were so tired at that moment that no one noticed the huge boxes or half-meter leaves that Ren had pulled out of his pocket.
..
While everyone was resting, sitting or sleeping, Ren found himself a small stone and placed it in front of him. he arranged the things he didn't want to get dirty in the soil on the stone he used as a small table.
Then he poured a colorless liquid into a small wooden bowl and the petals he had taken from her ring. In a few seconds, he mixed the muddy slime he had obtained with another liquid that had the same effect as gunpowder.
But what he got in the end was of a different consistency, as he used another material instead of gunpowder. Ren quickly poured his mixture into tiny glass containers. He had seen this new method in a book he was reading. It was both faster and safer. This liquid was more difficult to explode in its current state, but on the good side, it would create a more powerful explosion. If a certain condition is met..
The liquid explosive that he was currently squeezing into the glass bottles in his hand was something that could hardly explode and was equal in strength to his old bomb. But from what Ren read in the book, there were several ingredients that strengthened this mix. Ren didn't even know what most of these ingredients were.
But the orange... The orange was game changing.
While holding the caps of the glass bottles ready in his hand, Ren threw tiny orange peels into them and closed the caps as soon as he put them in.
These orange peels were creating a great pressure inside for an unknown reason. And if the glass was thrown from afar, it wouldn't explode unless the glass broke. The condition for the explosion of this bomb was the shattering of the glass.
And boom! Ren now had an explosive that was at least twice as powerful as he had a minute ago. And this is called the new "Second Model Bomb".
..
Wondering what he was doing behind him, the two pairs of eyes turned and smiled.
"I'm interested in alchemy and wanted to take my free time. Nothing to worry about."
The white-haired boy was stunned. "So he understands alchemy. He's also a third-level wizard. Despite his young age, he has a lot of potential."
Ren wasn't too slow when making bombs. He had spent five to ten minutes at least. But in that time he had created only six tiny second-model explosives. While those behind him were resting for a while, he looked at the distant tree from time to time and increased the number of explosives in front of him.
When at last forty minutes passed, Ren had exactly 51 bombs in his ring!
When he woke the children behind him and gave him some of the dried meat and dried bread he had cut into pieces, they all had gratitude in their eyes. They were uneducated and small, brought to school by their parents. Ren's gestures were the kind that a family member or childhood friend would do.
Next to these kids, Ren was like a wolf that could turn the business world upside down.
No one spoke first.
Ren waited. He understood the power of waiting for the right moment.. And he just waited.
After a while, when suddenly the white-haired boy started to thank, they all fell out one by one. It took several minutes before they thanked Ren for coming after them for help, knowing and warning the tree, and protecting them.
...
Half an hour had passed and phrases such as "I have to hang out with you from now on, Ren. I owe you my life and I can count on-" began to be heard. The white-haired boy was someone who spoke his mind directly. Just because of this habit, his family got very angry with him and they told him to talk less while he was at school. But that day he decided to make an exception and say what was on his mind.
"Ren, how did you know these trees could be dangerous, I wondered?"
"Oh. I learned it in my clan."
"Your clan? what kind of clan teaches trees to a little boy like you. It's weird."
Just as Ren was about to say that he came from a commercial clan, seeing the children's curious gazes, he decided to lie.
"I come from a clandestine clan. We teach complex training in childhood and are expected to take care of ourselves in the outside world until we are adults. One day, when I turn 23, I will be able to return to my clan and family. Until then, I need to be as strong as possible and deserve a top position in my clan."
Because there are so many different environments, creatures, and customs on this planet, the children immediately believed that there could be a clan like Ren described.
The sorceress even whispered curiously towards Ren. "What else have you learned from Magic and Botany?"
He continued his lies, remembering the books and categories he had read on the Ren ring. "I received very complex training. I studied not only magic but also economics, commerce, mathematics, alchemy and science. I'm good at botany and alchemy, as well as mediocre at carpentry and craftsmanship. And the only thing I'm bad at is taming animals, but I work at it too." Ren realized that he had lied too wildly at the last moment and said something that was bad to be realistic. He had seen books on animal domestication and acquired a spell from Nuren.
He didn't know if it was good or bad.
"You're amazing. I only learned how to use a sword from my parents. They didn't put my sword in school either. It was bullshit! I've wasted my whole life on something that won't work for me."
What the white-haired boy told was funny, but no one dared to laugh at the boy's angry expression.
"So what's your plan?" The muscular boy who had come here with Ren asked. Although he wanted to get out of this forest as soon as possible, he liked the way the conversation was going.
Ren nodded. "My plan huh..."
Ren stared into the wizard girl's eyes for a moment before standing up and calling out to the five people sitting on the ground. He could see that the girl's eyes were not like Nuren or Ezra. Relieved, he began his plan.
"I am a person with very big dreams. And I will need power, money, knowledge and other things like that to make my dreams come true. I hadn't thought of this before but if you want to join me I need all the help. You seem reliable.
I need people I can trust for my plans that I mentioned and haven't mentioned yet.. Can you help me? I know this offer is very fast. But since it's an offer where you don't lose anything, I'm not shamelessly restraining myself.
In fact, as long as you stay with me, I say that you will be my closest people and make a huge profit. I don't even know your names, but something tells me it's important that we meet."
Ren lied profusely, trying to create an air of strength and mystery, as he had heard from his father. He was also moving, squeezing a little bit of truth into each lie. They were never outright lies, but things were added to make Ren look better. And Ren came to the most important part of the speech, the punchy finale.
In advance, I want to tell you that your fee is 1 energy pill per week, whether you make a profit or not."
His words had a lightning effect on the listeners. One energy pill a week! Let me tell you what a big fee it is. One energy pill equals one tablet. One tablet is equal to 10 dings. 10 Ding is equal to 100 Lianga and 100 Liang is also equal to 1000(thousand) gold!
Technically, Ren was talking about an offer of 4,000 gold a month.
And the beating hearts of those sitting on the ground came to a standstill from shock when they realized that they had a great opportunity. It was impossible to get such a good opportunity even by working outside of this school. As they were all about to nod in agreement, Ren continued.
"Every month, 5% of the profit we make will be saved for future projects, while the remainder will be divided into six and evenly distributed between us. I don't intend to be the boss or anything. No! I offer you a reliable partnership and friendship group."
Ren was using what Diana had used on herself a year or so ago.
He was putting in the minds of these children, who did not know as much about a subject he was talking about, as dreams that would not normally come true, and goals that were actually very difficult to reach.
For Ren, it was a big deal. It was a commercial world for children. And worst of all, Ren did it without feeling guilty. He was ready to do everything if he get what he wants today.
In fact, at the very end of his speech, Ren pulled out one of the second-pattern explosives he had made in the last hour. He held the bottle of liquid in his hand for a few seconds. Then suddenly, he quickly turned his arm around and threw the bottle into the carnivorous tree!
"BOOM!"
