"Ahh! Don't! Lilly! Don't lick me!"
The huge shadow turned out to be a large white tiger, which opened its mouth and licked Amy's face into a slobbering mess.
"Argh…Lilly! Didn't I tell you not to lick me!? Now I have to take another bath…"
The three people froze as they looked at the young woman scolding the white tigress over thrice her size, and unexpectedly, the huge figure actually hung its head low as if sincerely accepting the reprimands!
"This…" (Max)
"Amy, what…" (Emilia)
"Big Sister, are you alright…?" (Adeline)
Amy blinked before laughing lightly.
"Right, let me introduce you to Lilly. I found her floating on the ocean, dying. And my Talent just so happened to be able to save her by making a contract between the two of us, so I did." (Amy)
"Contract…so like, she's your pet?" (Emilia)
"More like a familiar. And she's really strong you know? You should have seen that announcement about me killing a Tier 1 right? That wasn't me, that was Lilly hunting for food to recover from her injuries. Although the contract saved her life, she was still weak." (Amy)
"She could hunt Tier 1 monsters when weak? Then again, I don't know how strong a Tier 1 is exactly…" (Adeline)
"Well, the fish I caught were all Tier 0, but we're Tier 0 too so I guess it depends on their species?" (Max)
Max looked at the fish and muttered softly, but Emilia managed to catch the key point.
"Wait! You caught fish!? How!? I've been sitting here with my fishing rod like an idiot for over half an hour now! And mine is even an F Grade Fishing Rod!" (Emilia)
"F Grade Fishing Rod? How did you get that big sister? Did you get an F Grade design too?" (Adeline)
"Oh, that, it's my Talent. Wait, let me share it with you…", Emilia answered as she operated the interface, and soon enough, a pic of her Status appeared before them.
. . . . . .
[Emilia Riggs]
Race : Human
Age : 24 years
Sex : Female
Tier : 0
Strength : G (0/1)
Physique : G (0/1)
Agility : G (0/1)
Spirit : G (0/1)
Talent : [Tenfold(G)]
Skills : [None]
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
Tenfold(G) : When an item at or below Grade G is obtained, choose 1) Increase quantity to 10* the original quantity or 2) Increase the Grade by 1
. . . . . .
"This…this is incredible."
The three people who looked at the description of the Talent felt rather speechless.
"Wait, what qualifies as 'obtained'?" (Max)
Max immediately thought of something and initiated a transfer.
((Player [Max Riggs] offers you a Trade {[Fishing Rod(G)] - - [None]}. Accept?))
"Ok?", Emilia blinked in confusion fusion, but then seemed to have thought of something as she quickly accepted the Trade.
And indeed, the next moment, she got a prompt.
. . . . . .
Obtained [FishingRod(G)]. Choose
1) 10*[Fishing Rod(G)]
2) 1*[Fishing Rod(F)]
. . . . . . .
"Did you get it?", Max asked when he saw Emilia's expression brighten.
"I did." (Emilia)
"Choose to increase the quantity first. Then give each of us 1."
Emilia subconsciously nodded her head before frowning.
"Hey! Don't order me!" (Emilia)
Nonetheless, she obeyed as he choose the first option, and all four of them watched in excitement as the one [Fishing Rod(G)] in her hand changed into a shining white sphere, splitting into ten parts which strangely remained the same size and then transformed into ten [Fishing Rod(G)]s.
((Player [Emilia Riggs] offers you a Trade {[Fishing Rod(G)] - - [None]}. Accept?))
Three fishing rods disappeared, and the three accepted the trades, making the fishing rods appear before them.
((Player [Max Riggs] offers you a Trade {[Fishing Rod(G)] - - [None]}. Accept?))
Just like before, Emilia accepted the trade, but this time,
"…" (Emilia)
"Nothing?" (Max)
"Nope. Looks like it won't work on something it worked on once already."
Max nodded, before thinking of something and looking initiating another trade, but this time to Amy.
"Trade the same thing amongst ourselves. Maybe it'll work if the object is traded to other people."
The group's eyes brightened as Amy accepted the fishing rod, and then traded it to Emilia.
"Nothing." (Emilia)
This time, Amy traded her fishing rod to Adeline, who traded it to Max, who traded it to Emilia.
"Still nothing." (Emilia)
"…"
For the next few minutes, the group tried every combination they could, but even after 10 separate trades, it didn't work.
"Well, guess we can't be too greedy.", Max ultimately shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe it'll change after my Tier increases." (Emilia)
The others nodded, before Amy posted something in the group.
"This is my Talent. The rest of my Status is the same as Emi's though."
. . . . . .
Fairy Contract(G) : Greatly increase affinity with Fairies, and increase affinity with all other races. Can make contract with individuals at or below Tier 1, turning them into your familiars. Familiars have absolute loyalty towards the contractor. If individuals of higher Tier make a contract with you, their Tiers and Parameters would be suppressed. Sub-abilities will be added with increase in Grade and Tier.
— Cleansing : When contract is made, all curses, negative buffs, diseases, etc… will be cleansed.
. . . . . .
"This is a pretty good one. Especially the clause about loyalty. With it, we wouldn't have to worry about being abandoned again." (Emilia)
Max could only smile bitterly hearing Emilia's words. It was obvious who they were meant for.
"Alright, don't say anymore big sister.", Adeline defended Max, earning a grateful smile from him which made her chuckle as she shared her own talent.
"Mine is a little different, and it depends mostly on luck." (Adeline)
. . . . . .
Sign In(G) : Once a day, sign in to obtain a random reward at or below Grade G.
. . . . . .
"Very simple isn't it? I got this when I signed in today.", Adeline said as she showed a sheet of paper while posting its details.
. . . . . .
Wooden Cabin Design(G) : When used, unlocks [Wooden Cabin(G)] in the 'Build' Function.
. . . . . .
"Wow, as expected of my little sister! You have such good luck.", Emilia praise her unabashedly while accepting the trade, getting one [Wooden Cabin Design(G)] and changing it into 10 before distributing it to the three.
But when the four used it…
"It requires 30 units of Wooden Plank(G) and 5 units of Rope(G)." (Amy)
The four looked at each other and sighed.
"The ropes are ok, but wooden planks…since big brother already used his, all out wooden planks together would only count to 29." (Adeline)
"Wait, what about your Talent, brother?" (Amy)
Amy's words caused the three women's eyes to fall on Max, who shrugged as he shared his Status and Talent description with them.
"This…max level skills? Although the 100% bonus seems pretty good…" (Amy)
"Er, I'm sure it'll be useful! After all, none of us even have skills…" (Adeline)
Unlike Amy and Adeline, however, Emilia burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Look at you, seems your Talent is the worst among us four!" (Emilia)
Max merely shook his head with a smile.
'My talent is the worst? Hehe.'
He didn't bother replying as he only chuckled on the inside.
