One-Eyed Monster

The Spirit Book felt it had pinpointed the crucial detail and now it was Igor’s turn to dig deeper into it.

This in-depth interpretation had already exhausted a lot of its Spirit Power, and now it needed to rest again...

The Spirit Book was a bit unwilling, as it had intended to give Igor a heavy blow to let him know that it was truly the ultimate cheat...

But unexpectedly, its Spirit Power had fallen short once more, and it was going to fall into slumber again. This was really frustrating. It had been holding back a lot of energy, but now it felt powerless. It didn’t understand why it always felt tired after exerting a little energy, nor did it understand why it could never see Igor’s astonished expression...

It really wanted to see Igor’s shocked face!

To be honest, at first, it felt its fate was quite miserable. As an unknown Spirit Book, it finally awaited its owner and was thoroughly awakened. It intended to serve well, only to find that the owner was just a child, a child who really knew nothing.

This child was also quite brutal, attempting to dismantle it several times, making it feel quite uncomfortable.

But that was all in the past, and the Spirit Book didn’t want to dwell on it too much at this moment.

The only thing it couldn’t understand was why Igor always looked down on it...

After all, it was a Spirit Book, and it knew much more than Igor did. Yet, Igor didn’t take it seriously and always deemed it unreliable, which was something it couldn’t tolerate.

A little brat, acting all high and mighty without even considering his own stature, daring to challenge the Spirit Book, truly unaware of the vastness of the world...

The Spirit Book was a bit too proud, which had led it to overlook a very important thing, a thing that was also the reason for the current tense relationship between it and Igor.

The Spirit Book didn’t realize that it always fell asleep right after interpreting something, as if it could never get enough sleep. This drowsiness made Igor feel like he didn’t really have a Spirit Book with him, making him think it was just a sleeping entity that knew nothing of sharing burdens and joys with people. This made Igor feel that the Spirit Book wasn’t reliable.

In fact, it came down to these two never sitting down for a proper conversation. Every interaction was a prelude to quarreling, one mocking, the other fuming, wasting a lot of time!

Now Igor was still foolishly digging into Perkins’ story himself, while Perkins was like a bottomless pit, continuously spouting his experiences. Having roamed the world for so many years, the stories were endless. Even a short path leading to Yonder Travel Academy wouldn’t be enough time to tell them all…

Igor grinned and grimaced with delight, feeling his brain was about to explode. He wasn’t even considering seeking help from the Spirit Book at this moment, thinking he could handle it all, all just a matter of time.

Igor was quite miserable now...

The Spirit Book didn’t feel too comfortable either at this moment. It really wanted to tell Igor about this key point it had discovered, but thinking about Igor’s bad temper was displeasing, so it thought of letting Igor suffer a bit more instead.

But ultimately, the Spirit Book decided to compromise. After all, Igor was currently its master, and it needed Igor’s Spirit Power to survive. So if Igor fried his brain too much, affecting his Spirit Power, it would be a loss in the end.

So the Spirit Book had to brace itself, to highlight a key point to Igor before it fell back into slumber.

As for what Igor would do afterward, that was up to him. Anyway, it was about to sleep and wouldn’t know what happened next.

So it decided to quickly convey the message, to save Igor from whining about it later...

”I can’t bear to watch anymore, so here’s a hint: The Tree Spirit and the matter of dining with him. Just ask about that.” After saying this, the Spirit Book went to sleep without caring about how Igor might react.

Igor was naturally shocked—this Spirit Book was still so unreliable, only giving hints after he’d exhausted his brain, not achieving anything efficient, hardly appearing like an ultimate cheat!

This was simply bullying!

However, Igor wasn’t too angry as he had long been familiar with this partner. He had experienced its unreliability many times and didn’t care anymore. Igor never disregarded the Spirit Book’s suggestions; he knew that despite its unreliable appearance, it was still Lord Soron’s creation and must contain valuable content.

Igor understood that the unreliability was merely about the way the Spirit Book did things; in terms of answers, it was sometimes quite effective. But because the Spirit Book always arrived late with answers, the solutions were often delayed...

Now overwhelmed by his extensive research, Igor thought that if the Spirit Book had given him a tip sooner, he wouldn’t have needed to rack his brains, nor would Perkins have needed to shower him with words!

”Uh, about that...” Igor felt even talking was becoming tiring now.

”Huh, what?” Fortunately, Perkins did hear him and stopped his babbling.

”Doesn’t your mouth get sore from talking so much?” Igor cheekily asked, although he originally intended to ask about the Tree Spirit, he couldn’t help himself because Perkins’ mouth had been going nonstop, which was a wonder in itself.

”It doesn’t. To prove it to you, I could talk even more without getting tired.” In fact, Perkins’ throat was already a bit hoarse, probably from speaking too fast without pause, leading his voice to become hoarse.

”Alright, alright, I have a question to ask.” Igor was increasingly persuaded by Perkins’ sincerity, no longer doubting whether he was a fraud, meaning that his internal skepticism about Perkins being an Adventurer with Class was dispelled by Perkins’ conduct.

He couldn’t help it; he was just that kind of person, naïve to a fault.

”Uh, let’s hear it, what’s the question?” Perkins asked, his voice already very hoarse.

”Your countless adventures are really too long; I have to emphasize some key points. Try to recall these important experiences as detailed as possible.”

”What important points?”

”The ones worth staying on and reflecting upon!” Igor didn’t expect Perkins to get so hung up at this moment, so he had to explain to Perkins once more what he meant by ’key points.’
