Patty woke up to a new day with a very happy smile. After all, why wouldn't he? He's a millionaire now. The first thing he did was order a new top-of-the-line phone from the internet.
It was one of those phones that had a crystallizer built-in, and he could transfer small objects to other people, or maybe he could materialize food right in front of him.
If only the internet was a safe place, he would use the crystallizer to transfer the Kores to Leonard without any hassle at all.
However, there were a lot of talented hackers in the world who could intercept his delivery the moment it was sent out on the internet. Once they saw that it was high-quality Kores, those sharks would immediately pounce at the opportunity.
Even though the phone cost about 100,000 Chains, it didn't have enough built-in security to defend against those hackers.
That was just the way of the world.
There were always going to be people whose dream was to become thieves, and they got so good at it that no one could ever catch them anymore.
That was why it was so much more important to deliver things by hand. It was the reason why Leonard entrusted Patty to transfer the Kores to his laboratory safely.
But for some reason, Leonard believed that Patty was a part of some organization called Aezure company that had the manpower available to have it delivered.
Of course, Patty wasn't part of any company at all. So, he didn't know how he was going to deliver the Kores to Leonard. He wished there was some sort of delivery service he could trust, if so then he wouldn't be having this problem.
However, since his Kores weren't officially sanctioned as his property, if people stole it, then Patty couldn't complain to the police.
The worst-case scenario would be that Patty had to deliver these Kores to Leonard himself. He was dreading it.
To make himself feel better, he looked back to his system screen
[Summon Scrolls: 45]
By the end of the day yesterday, Patty successfully saved enough energy to buy 19 more summon scrolls!
To keep this amazing momentum going, Patty decided to spend all of his Yi Power and power up his body even more.
[Earth Aura: 772/1000]
[Water Aura: 208/1000]
[Fire Aura: 208/1000]
[Air Aura: 207/1000]
[Light Aura: 207/1000]
[Dark Aura: 207/1000]
From what he experienced the other day, Auras made him more sensitive to the Teqx powers of others. When he was observing a Teqx power, he sometimes felt that he could seize control of it, but only sometimes. He realized that some Teqx powers had a majority of Earth Aura, some had Water, and some had Fire.
Since Patty's Earth Aura was highest and near the maximum, he was able to be more attuned to Teqx powers that had a lot of Earth Aura.
Now that he upgraded all of his Auras to a decent amount, he expected to be able to be more attuned with a lot more Teqx. Even though it wouldn't be handy right now, it would be extremely useful when he faced another opponent that he was too lazy to deal with.
He could make their powers useless. Oh, you want to hit me with boiling lava? No, I'll just reflect it away from me. Oh, you want to deprive all of the oxygen away from my body? No, I'll just control the air better than you and give myself air to breathe.
Patty also decided to deplete his Minion Growth Crystals to upgrade his minions.
The first minion he upgraded was the Muscava Cyclo, the minion that had saved his life so many times before. This little minion that constantly buzzed in his ears whenever he was in trouble was due to have an upgrade sooner rather than later. The more 'slowed time' he had, the better he could be lazy in fights!
He spent a total of 5950 MGCs to level it up to 35.
[A-class Muscava Cyclo]
[Level: 35/70]
[Growth Crystal Required for Level Up: 660]
[Ability: slow time for 35 seconds]
Then, he also decided to level up the Interdimensional Merchant to level 35 using 7415 MGcs.
[A-class Interdimensional Mechant]
[Level: 35/70]
[Growth Crystal Required for Level Up: 660]
[Ability: 17.5% Discount on Markets]
Why would Patty waste all of his MGCs on this minion, you ask? Well, that was because the discount ability improved his quality of life. How, you ask? The answer was simple: Summon Scrolls!
Now, if Patty wanted to buy 19x summon scrolls, then instead of paying 190 energy for it, with the discount, he would only pay 156.75 energy! That meant he could potentially buy a total of 23 summon scrolls each day with 190 energy!
That was a big bargain!
If he had more Minion Growth Crystals, he would max out the minion so that he'd get even more discounts, which means more summon scrolls for him!
[Minion Growth Crystal: 240]
Unfortunately, he only had a few MGCs left. It didn't matter though, because he would get another 3200 MGCs tomorrow and he could use all of it again to level up the Interdimensional Merchant.
Now, it was time for Patty's favorite part of the day: the summoning binge! Now that he had enough backup scrolls, he could summon a lot of minions again!
KNOCK KNOCK
However, just as he was about to press the summon button, there was a knock on his door. He wasn't expecting anyone today. Sam was busy with school and trying to find an internship he liked, Grammo was in the Atlas Records school annoying his new classmates with his singing, and Leonard was in his laboratory.
He didn't know who would be coming here.
KNOCK KNOCK
The visitor knocked again since no one answered.
"Come in. I'm not going to open the door for you," Patty shouted to the visitor.
"Umm," the guy said on the other side of the door. "Grammo said that I should come meet you."
Grammo? He hadn't talked to that guy since they parted ways because he would be very busy in his transition to a new singing school. What did that guy do now?
"Okay…open the door, I'm not going to get up from my bed."
"My name is Andres! And I really want your help! Please!"
"Dude…open the door, man."
"Oh."
Andres then opened the door and looked over at Patty. He wasn't expecting to see such a messy room. When Grammo said that this person could help him, he was expected to see an old hermit living in a cave in the forest.
He didn't expect to see a youth about the same age as him, whose room was extremely messy and littered. How could he live with cracker crumbs on his bed? He doubted whether this was the right guy who could help him with his problem.
Andres walked over closer to Patty. He tried to find a seat, but couldn't find any. This place was extremely made only for one person to live in. There was no couch to accommodate visitors and there wasn't any welcoming vibe in the room, as if the guy who designed it wanted everyone to leave him alone.
"Uh, so my problem is that…" Andres fidgeted while standing.
"Uh huh…" Patty was barely listening. He was lying on his side and only paid attention to the television.
"So, the Ruobber company…" Andres' eyes looked at his feet. He was standing near junk food wrappers.
"Yeah, so?"
"Umm…before I say what I want, I only have one request. Can I please clean your room?" Andres was a tidy guy. There was a reason why his superiors in the Ruobber company always gave him cleaning duties.
It wasn't that he liked doing it, he only liked cleanliness.
Patty's room was anything but clean. He couldn't concentrate at all, as if the junk food wrappers and cup noodles were looking at him and taunting him.
It was extremely rude for an unknown stranger to just ask to clean another person's room, but Andres couldn't take it anymore. Before he did anything else, he wanted to scrub the whole place clean with hydrochloric acid and clean out the mess that had been festering in the room for years and years.
"You want to clean my room?"
"Yes. I'm sorry, but I'm a bit of a clean freak. I know that I'm weirding you out, so–"
"Sure! Who am I to refuse a free clean?"
"Really?! It'll just take a few minutes, and your house will be squeaky clean!"
Patty watched as the guy swept the floor and got rid of all the plastic wrappers and put them in one big container called a 'garbage can', which Patty had never seen before.
Andres even dusted the top of the television and the refrigerator. He never even knew that dust could be cleaned! He thought that was just decoration!
By the end of the cleaning session, all of Patty's utensils were cleaned and put back in the drawer, his floor was showing the marble designs, and his room looked like a room. Patty didn't dislike the cleanliness, he was just too lazy to clean.
So, wouldn't it be good if he had a cleaner?
"Say, Andres was it? Do you want a job?"
