Chương 12: Rich Woman, I'm Hungry, I Need Food

Roland was stunned when he saw the alchemy cauldron that Kaliel had taken out.

Although she hadn't learned the Appraisal spell, she had seen it in strategy guides.

This is the core equipment of the alchemy school, called the [Resurrection Furnace].

Its main function is to speed up the potion-making process and reduce the difficulty of potion-making.

The surrounding vines are a special living enchantment that can increase potion production.

In the game, you need to build a good relationship with Kalil first and raise her affection level to two stars.

It will cost another 10, 000 gold coins to buy it.

Its true value should be over 30, 000 gold coins.

It's just being given away for free?

Caryl enthusiastically introduced the [Resurrection Forge] potion cauldron.

To her, this mid-quality potion pot was no different from scrap metal.

However, for Roland, who is only at the apprentice level, it is absolutely the most perfect equipment.

She hadn't expected that the little guy she had her eye on would have a talent for potions, so she had no choice but to invest in him.

Moreover, she absolutely could not let Roland slip away from her.

As for the cooperation with the Fifth Prince?

Hmph, if she weren't so badly injured right now, she wouldn't even give such a minor character a second glance.

As Caryl was pondering, Roland swiftly took the [Revival Furnace] and then dumped the remaining three bottles of milk into Caryl's arms.

"Deal! From now on, I'll save a bottle of milk for you every day!"

Roland, no longer shy, said happily.

A cricket's sense of shame is nothing compared to a rich woman's financial offensive.

Moreover, milk production already exceeds the demand for potions.

Even with an unlimited supply of other materials, her energy and magic could not sustain it.

From this perspective, it would be better to sell the excess to Caryl, which would also allow me to further cultivate a good relationship with the wealthy woman.

Caryl took the milk, looked at Roland's changed expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air, and the milk was placed inside.

Roland felt a pang of envy again.

Space items are extremely expensive in this world.

The small ones can only be made by intermediate-level mages with difficulty, while the large ones require advanced-level mages.

Kalil looks like a very high-end brand.

Caryl naturally noticed Roland's envious gaze and teased him.

"What's wrong? Do you want this too?"

Roland nodded subconsciously.

This is a spatial artifact, a must-have for protagonists in novels to show off, like storage rings or fleeting bracelets.

He's incredibly handsome... How could she not be envious?

Kalil chuckled softly.

"Sure, as long as you can afford the price!"

"Huh? I can really buy it?"

"It's possible here, but it's very expensive. However, Little Lauren can afford it."

Roland's eyes widened. How come she didn't know she was so rich?

Caryl lifted Roland's chin.

"The price is yourself, you know. How about it? Want to sell yourself to me?"

Roland's face darkened.

So this succubus is teasing people again.

……

Twenty minutes later.

Roland prepared to take a bath, and after repeatedly declining Caryl's invitation to bathe together, she went into the church bathroom alone.

The church's bathroom is actually very large, like a hot spring hotel in a tourist area.

After washing up, Roland comfortably soaked in a small pool.

She adapted to the transformation very quickly and had already gotten used to her female body.

The only worry is her increasingly large frontal armor.

It seems that with each shipment, the size and capacity of the factory will increase further.

Furthermore, there are the side effects of the "Desire Imprint".

But she didn't have any solutions, so she could only take it one step at a time.

On the one hand, he firmly believed in his own belief that he was a true and upright man.

"Phew... finally done, that was a hassle."

Roland picked up the fresh potion ingredients and put them in the basket beside her, then washed away the sweat that had seeped from her body again.

After that, she dried herself off and put on a thin bathrobe.

As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Caryl standing in front of the door.

Staring at me with bloodshot pink eyes.

"Oh my god! You scared me to death! What are you doing standing here at the door? It's weird."

Roland patted her chest in fright, causing Kalil's eyes to dart up and down.

"It's all because of you! You didn't want to shower with your sister, it really hurt her feelings."

"Even though we're both girls."

Roland ignored this comment, placing the dirty clothes on the shelf while instructing:

"Remember to put your dirty clothes here later; I'll wash them tomorrow."

Feeling refreshed after her shower, she leisurely went upstairs.

……

What she didn't know was that, as a witch of love and desire, Caryl's five senses far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Her eyes were red because she heard strange, suppressed yet ecstatic breathing coming from the bathroom.

This made her tail stand up restlessly.

However, she had a high degree of self-control over her desires and quickly calmed down before going into the bathroom.

After washing up, Kalil lay comfortably in the same small pool and sighed.

"Hmm~ Although the place is a bit small and simple, it's still very comfortable to soak in."

"Huh~ There's milk too, little Loran really knows how to enjoy life~ No wonder I smelled milk on her just now."

Caryl took a bottle of milk, pulled out the cork, and drank it.

It must have been sitting in the bathroom for a while, so it was a little warm, but it still had a unique flavor, like freshly "baked" milk from a pasture.

……

Meanwhile, Roland sat at her worktable, checking the system while Caryl took a shower.

Each level of alchemy skill comes with a variety of potion recipes for players to unlock.

She was trying to find a way to deal with the magical corruption within it.

Upon closer inspection, a special potion belonging to the [Milk Alchemy] category came into her view.

That is the [Apprentice-level Stabilizer], a special magical potion from the system that has never appeared in this world before.

[Apprentice-level Stabilizer: Reduces elemental conflicts by inertizing magical reactions, increasing the success rate of alchemy, forging, and enchanting by 5%.] In the game, this is a rather useless potion.

After all, a 5% success rate is almost meaningless for a single-player eroge (adult game).

Perhaps if it were shown to the audience in "The City on Earth and the Wronged Ones," the elder brother would have a higher opinion of it.

Of course, what attracted Roland was not the increased success rate.

Instead, the description mentions "inert magic" and "reducing elemental conflicts."

What is magic pollution?

That's because when a living being is contaminated by chaotic elemental forces, it pollutes its own magical energy cycle, causing abnormalities in its body.

Therefore, inertize the chaotic elemental forces and reduce their activity.

Is it possible to re-establish the magical cycle for ordinary people?

Roland thought it was worth a try.
