Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

“Oh girl, you’re up for a bunch of surprises then,” laughed Rita. “I wonder if we could give her a modified VR Headset and let her create an account and log-in into BNLO?”

“Hahah, maybe? But I don’t know if it would work though…” I said, rubbing my chin.

“BNLO? What’s that…?” Khione tilted her head. “I’ve always been… quite interested in the things humans make outside of our Realm… Brother Merlin is the only one that usually brings something but… well, he hasn’t brought anything in a long time…”

She flew around her room and brought a few things, such as books, and other old devices… the newest thing she had was a calculator.

“I have this that my brother gifted to me… I-I was wondering if you could fix this calculator? It… stopped working a few years ago,” she sighed, showing it to me.

“Hmm, I don’t really know if I can fix this…” I said. “But well, we could try with this?”

I took a Low-Rank Potential Cube, I had plenty stored from all the rewards from the quests in BNLO, so I quickly used it on the calculated.

FLAAASH!

Khione’s eyes widened as she saw the technological device absorb the power and then begin to work as normal, although it now exuded magical power, and a connection to another world.

“W-Wow! What’s this?!” she gasped in disbelief. “That cube… was that some sort of magical artifact?!”

“Yes, it was from Arcadia,” I nodded. “They’re called Potential Cubes, and they can grant Potential Bonuses to any item, we’ve tested them a lot, and it can turn even ordinary items into magical ones, giving them Bonus Abilities and Effects, the higher the rank the more they gain, this time I just used a little one… but look at our equipment and weapons, we’ve used those Potential Cubes to gain so much power.”

“Incredible…” Khione muttered. “Thank you… my calculator finally works… but I feel there’s something more…! That item you had… I… no, forget it…”

“What is it? Do you want one?” I asked her.

“W-Would you be willing to give me one? I’ll pay you, of course… do you wish more spirit cores or…” Khione became surprised, as she offered me stuff.

“Coins would be nice,” I said. “I have a Domain back home that has a special shop ability, it needs these coins to give me unique items it creates.”

“W-Wait, what? That’s something that can happen? A Domain with a shopping ability…” Khione was even more flabbergasted, looking at us with glowing eyes. “A-Amazing, you’re all so incredible…”

She really liked anything regarding the other world or things she didn’t know about, despite her age, she was as curious as a child, always trying to find out the truth behind everything, or things she didn’t know about beforehand, fascinated by them.

“Anyway, about the Cubes…” I said.

“Yes, how much would you like?” she wondered. “My treasury is quite vast… Seeing how valuable they are and how they can turn any ordinary object into an otherworldly magical device… How about a thousand Spirit Crystal Coins per Cube? Of course, if you give me higher quality ones, I can give you even more.

“A thousand… how many of that is in big coins?” Mark asked. “Ten?” This update is available on novèlfire.net

“Yeah,” I nodded. “I wish we could get a hundred per cube.”

“A hundred…” Khione made a slightly worried expression.

“Okay, okay, ten is fine,” I sighed, feeling slightly bad.

I could use my vast amounts of Gold to buy the low-quality potential cubes in the Player Market anyway, as they were the ones that Players usually resold all the time because they often wanted the higher quality ones to make equipment.

“Ten, could I purchase ten cubes?” she asked, offering me the coins through the Runic Spirit Coin Bank.

“Sure thing!” I nodded, giving her ten potential cubes as she gave me the coins.

“Are you sure this is fine?” Mark wondered.

“Yes, Khione is someone smart and also trustworthy, she’s kindhearted and knowledgeable,” I said. “I am sure she’s better than most people…”

“I will try to put these into use so I can strengthen my army,” said Khione. “Perhaps if my plans work, my army could become stronger and help better… then, I might end up buying in bulks of even a hundred cubes. If I can at least contact my father, if he offered his funds then…”

“Woah, woah! A hundred?! Calm down, we aren’t a potential cube production factory,” Rita said. “Those things are not too rare but still not that many, right?”

“Yeah, even if I purchased every single cube in the Player Market that still wouldn’t make a hundred,” I nodded. “So be careful how you use them, they aren’t too common of a resource, Khione.”

“O-Oh! I-I understand…” she nodded. “I might be able to build an elite with these ten though… hmm, I may keep a few.”

“I’m sorry for being late! I’m back young lady, I’ve cleansed the Spirit Heart Device, it was covered by a lot of dust…” Chloe stepped into the room, carrying with her a heart-shaped device.

The device which was indeed heart-shaped, seemed to be composed mostly or primarily out of spirit crystals of glowing colors, but had several wires of steel attached to it.

Chloe placed it over the floor, as Khione prompted it to activate it by infusing it with her Divine Spiritual Energy.

FLASH!

The thing glowed brightly, shooting glowing lasers everywhere, but then slowly went back to normal, although it never stopped glowing now.

“Ouch, my eyes…” Gabriel complained, who had been mostly snacking.

“Hahah, that was very big your majesty…” Katherine said. “W-What was that?”

“It’s a device…” Khione said. “I invented it to help people that is not a spirit to open their Spirit Gates… I was only able to test it on a human wife my father once had, and it worked… Not completely, she was not attuned with spirit energy, so it was only halfway done… and then she was unable to fully awaken spirit magic. And… my daddy got angry at me.”
