Chapter 326: Conceptual Secret Toxin, Dealing with the Miracle
Scorching Soul Essence Elixir: Each highly effective soul releases a little bit of scorching soul essence when it dissipates. Consuming this elixir can considerably heal the soul, and a Golden Soul will totally get better inside seven days. Moreover, spellforce absorption within the Digital Realm is elevated by 10% throughout this era. What sort of individual, and in what sort of place, may so simply acquire a bottle of Scorching Soul Essence Elixir?
Zealous Potion: The person turns into extra sincere and passionate, actively expressing their feelings with a robust want to deepen intimate relationships, and their sense of disgrace is vastly lowered. The bond enchancment pace of operators is elevated by 100%, lasting for in the future.
Ashe drew 9 bottles of Pure Luminescence Elixir and, with another bottle saved within the warehouse, used the Alchemist’s Refining Bottle to refine them in pairs. He succeeded 4 occasions, leading to three bottles of Superior Scorching Soul Essence Elixir and one mutated Zealous Potion.
Undoubtedly, Ashe had met his primary purpose. With these three bottles of Superior Scorching Soul Essence Elixir, each he and the Sword Princess Witch may totally heal their soul accidents earlier than the subsequent spherical on the Spider Tower.
As for the Zealous Potion… whereas its results appeared promising, it additionally felt prefer it may result in some main information. If Ashe have been to present the Zealous Potion to the Witch, inflicting her to extend her intimacy with him, resulting in clinginess, affection, and embraces, simply the considered it was exhilarating.
However the Sword Princess was watching.
Ashe had already exhausted his workplace politics abilities simply to get the Sword Princess to simply accept the Witch into the group. Now, seeing the Witch probably heading in the direction of changing into a secretary, the jealous and hot-tempered redhead would undoubtedly throw a match.
So, ought to he give the Zealous Potion to the Sword Princess?
However that will flip it into of venture: if Ashe and the Sword Princess reached a brand new stage of their bond throughout the day, Ashe would win the guess; if not, the Sword Princess would certainly be livid as soon as she realized, and whereas he may not die, life would definitely be much less nice…
In addition to contemplating the Sword Princess’s emotions, Ashe additionally wanted to take the Witch’s opinion into consideration.
In any case, the interactions within the Amnesia Cabin might need already precipitated the Witch to misconceive. If she noticed Ashe and the Sword Princess immediately getting nearer, she would possibly suppose she belonged below the automotive reasonably than in it…
Furthermore… the Witch may not be misunderstanding in any respect.
Interested by this, Ashe couldn’t assist however sigh.
As somebody who had labored as a company slave, he knew that there have been sure taboos within the workplace for good motive. Colleagues may turn out to be good mates, however they need to stay simply that—good mates.
Crossing that line not solely had a detrimental influence on others however wasn’t good for oneself both. You go to work to earn cash and fulfill your materials wants, to not get pleasure from a non secular life. A group is a group, and a household is a household. The previous requires clear rewards and punishments and focuses on pursuits; the latter is about mutual tolerance and emotional bonds.
The 2 ought to by no means be confused.
Though Ashe had by no means labored for a small firm, he had heard from classmates that those that failed to differentiate between group and household in small firms typically ended up contributing to the owner’s lease earlier than finishing their historic mission.
Though it was solely a three-person group, Ashe was aware of his position as a frontrunner. He knew {that a} three-person group wouldn’t be the top. And even when it remained simply the three of them, he needed to discover a option to handle their relationships effectively. “Two individuals changing into nearer, inflicting the third to really feel alienated” was a standard pitfall in startups, as ubiquitous as baldness amongst metropolis dwellers.
For each emotional and logical causes, Ashe needed to steadiness the scales of their relationships. Due to this fact, he couldn’t give the Zealous Potion to the Sword Princess.
As for the concept of kicking out both the Witch or the Sword Princess for a day after which giving the potion to the remaining one—that was much more unacceptable. Put your self of their sneakers: should you returned from a break and noticed your boss colluding with a colleague, you’d certainly really feel excluded and begin doubting the corporate’s system.
So, the Zealous Potion needed to be saved for now.
However Ashe didn’t plan to discard it.
In any case, changing into shut with just one individual would result in many ideas for the opposite. So… what if he deepened his relationship with each of them on the identical time?
If Ashe may get one other bottle of Zealous Potion sooner or later, he may use each bottles concurrently on the Witch and the Sword Princess. This would possibly create a harmonious bond amongst all three of them, advancing their relationships to a brand new stage!
Although there could be a tad little bit of selfishness concerned, Ashe felt his thought was fairly rational and aimed toward a greater future for the group—apart from the slight private acquire.
In any case, Ashe needed to face the unknown Weaving Competition in actuality and the pursuit within the Spider Tower within the Digital Realm. Their group’s interpersonal relationships couldn’t afford any extra upheavals.Fôll0w present novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
This was certainly a important second of life and loss of life!
Because the saying goes, “One thinks of want solely after their abdomen is full.” He wanted to make sure his materials security earlier than considering his non secular life.
Nonetheless, interested by what occurred within the Amnesia Cabin, Ashe couldn’t assist however chuckle.
O(∩_∩)O Haha, he undoubtedly needed to recount the Sword Princess’s coquettish remarks throughout a much less harmful battle spherical. Such good ammunition shouldn’t go to waste!
Having accomplished the fundamental purpose of the cardboard draw—securing his materials wants—Ashe now seemed ahead to the thrilling “want” part. Since his intentions had allowed him to attract the Pure Luminescence Elixir, they need to additionally assist him pull a Golden Legend!
He wished to attract a brand new operator!
He wished to get extra helpful Digital Realm gadgets!
He wished to search out miraculous gadgets that might enhance his sect expertise even whereas operators rested!
“Water Sect: Silver Degree”
“Information Secret Toxin: Bronze Dragon Secret Toxin”
The concealment stage of the Witch had decreased, from 93% beforehand to 85% now. Since Witch’s Taboo solely counts those that know in the true world, it should imply another person has found one thing about her. This was fairly careless!
Nonetheless, this Bond resonance… Final time, it was stated that Ashe and the Sword Princess had a resonance of “Insatiable Greed.” However this time, how may he have a resonance of “Enjoying with Folks’s Hearts” with the Witch?
When had he ever performed with somebody’s coronary heart?
Maybe this was only a preset for gamers, Ashe thought, not giving it rather more consideration.
He casually used the Scorching Soul Essence Elixir on the Witch after which navigated to the Sword Princess’s operator interface. Instantly, he seen one thing unusual—
Information Secret Toxin: Golden Fish Secret Toxin, Vortex Secret Toxin, Expel Secret Toxin, Bronze Dragon Secret Toxin, Conceptual Secret Toxin
Why did the Sword Princess have an extra toxin?
Was she secretly getting stronger behind his again?
Nonetheless, this explicit toxin may very well be straight clicked to view, which meant… he already had the information to entry this toxin?
“Conceptual Secret Toxin”
“Toxin Particulars: Within the Digital Realm, sure summary ideas can, for particular causes, acquire bodily type and manifest as conceptual incarnations. While you possess a conceptual incarnation, you acquire the best precedence enhancement results. When a conceptual incarnation is destroyed, it means the Digital Realm quickly loses this idea, and all spirits associated to this idea will probably be straight annihilated and can’t be reborn till the idea is regenerated by the Digital Realm.”
“Variety of Secret Toxin Infections: 79”
“Secret Toxin Energy: 79%”
“Present Results of the Secret Toxin: Often, you’ll witness traces of all miracles (enhancement impact at 50% energy, massive detrimental impact at 100% energy).”
Ashe was momentarily confused—wasn’t with the ability to see the traces of miracles an enhancement?
Nonetheless, when Ashe lifted his head, the whole world reworked.
The lamp, partitions, ceiling, carpet, and blanket—every part in his room immediately reworked into post-modern artwork product of spider silk.
Feeling one thing, Ashe instinctively turned to have a look at Vamora exterior the window.
At this second, the bustling cityscape had vanished, changed by a spider’s nest entangled with numerous layers of internet. Within the sky, an enormous internet prolonged to the horizon, infinite and impenetrable.
On the streets shrouded in white mist, spiders have been strolling, with each creature related by dozens of silk threads. They didn’t appear to be transferring on their very own however have been reasonably being pulled alongside by the threads, like puppets strolling by means of varied nests.
Terrified, Ashe stood up, however his palms felt sticky. Wanting down, he discovered himself coated in numerous spider threads. The mattress he was simply sitting on had was a cocoon storing meals. He now resembled an insect caught in a spider internet, his pores and skin utterly coated in sticky white liquid. Threads gave the impression to be crawling into his mouth and eyes, attempting to seal his mouth, blind his eyes, and grasp his coronary heart—
Within the subsequent second, the world returned to regular.
The room was only a room, the town was only a metropolis, and the white sheets have been neatly unfold on the mattress.
Ashe touched his face, clean and tender, with none sticky residue.
This was the second toxin he had that introduced detrimental results.
The opposite one was the Vortex Secret Toxin, which made him averse to water. Nonetheless, Ashe had largely overcome the Vortex Secret Toxin’s affect. So long as he didn’t straight have a look at the water and satisfied himself that he was soaking in cola throughout baths, he may keep away from triggering the toxin—this was a life hack taught to him by the Sword Princess.
In comparison with the Vortex Secret Toxin, the affect of the Conceptual Secret Toxin could be a lot higher.
For weaklings like them, ignorance was certainly their camouflage.
Ashe was not unaware that Gospel was omnipresent, like air, however presenting the horrors of Gospel on this means would inevitably plunge individuals into hysterical worry and despair.
In any case, should you hate water, you may nonetheless drink cola or milk. But when even the air, the land, and the meals make you are feeling worry, the place are you able to escape?
“…This ought to be the primary time since I got here to Gospel that I begin to miss the Blood Moon Kingdom.”
