”I am not dumb, you grandma,” irritated Aba yelled taunting Asong by calling her grandma when in the past she was repeatedly warned by Asong not to call her as such.

”You, each card slot and star rating is important for a card apprentice in their grimoire. Especially when they are in dangerous areas like a dungeon or Way Beyond. What are you if not dumb when you plan on wasting an active card slot and a chunk of your star ratings by equipping an occupational card? Besides only a dumb person will require a card to do something as basic as grilling,” Asong was not pissed at Aba for lashing out at her. After all, she was indeed being hard on her. However, she had a reason for what she was doing.

With her congenital disease solved by her origin card, Asong had regained her ambition in her political career. These last few days she tried to do her best to pave her way to gain more authority and power in the government only to find out a shocking secret, the central government was not what it was portrayed as.

Asong had stumbled upon something huge, otherwise, it was not easy for someone as stubborn as her to take a complete U-

turn on her ambitions. Instead of trying to pave the way for herself, she decided to pave the way for the future generation and Aba had been her choice from the very beginning. Learning that Aba had taken an interest in the VR universe she had her family pay a huge price to get her hands on a VR Slime card.

Still, this did not mean Asong completely gave up on her political ambitions rather this was her plan B in case she was swallowed by her plan A. Being cured and regaining the ability to cultivate her active soul control percentage, Asong thought she would not require a plan B but little did she know that the waters in the Central Capital were a lot deeper than than she knew.

Until now these high tides had not reached Asong because they did not want to bother with the dying woman fearing her selfless retaliation but now that Asong was no longer the woman with nothing to lose, those tides were threatening to swallow her if she did not learn her place soon.

Now that Asong was finally free of the chronic disease that troubled her for most of her life, she did not want it all to end so soon. Therefore, though she had not given up completely she was threading lightly and not as hard-headed as before. As now she could afford to play the long game and make each move bidding her time.

”...” Aba wanted to argue but she could not think of a valid point to make against what Asong just said.

Seeing Aba stuck, Asong shook her head in disappointment, and looking at Agatha she said, ”If I have not been clear before, I blame you for this.”

”You right to do so, madam,” Agatha could only bow her head and take the blame.

Seeing Agatha was being scolded because of her, Aba who still had a little fight in her finally gave up, yelling, ”Shut up, grandma. Itʼs just grilling monster meat, I will learn it in an hour.”

”Big talk coming from someone who does not know how to fan the fire,” Asong sneered. She knew that pressing Aba to do or learn something would not work unless you pressed the right buttons. Which was why she kept blaming Agatha for all of Abaʼs shortcomings.

At first, Agatha thought she knew what Asong was up to and played along but after being scolded for days she started to feel that she might have dropped the ball when it came to Abaʼs survival training. That girl had the instinct of a rock, she would not survive a single day in a dungeon. This was becoming more and more obvious to not just Agatha but Laura and their guide.

”I will learn grilling monster meat in an hour, just watch me,” provoked by Asongʼs taunting Aba declared. Then turning to Laura who was fanning the fire with her soul energy, she said, ”Laura teach me how to grill monster meat in the wild under an hour.”

”This…” Laura was conflicted, she loved Abaʼs enthusiasm but after trying to teach her sword arts for the last few days she did not want to teach Aba anything ever again let alone teach her how to grill monster meat in the wild under one hour.

”Grilled meat this early in the morning, you guys know how to enjoy life,” Wyatt said appearing behind Aba.

Since eating in the VR universe felt the same as eating in the real world except for weight gain, many have been using the VR universe as a hack to satisfy their food cravings. Especially female card apprentices. So Wyatt was not surprised to see that the girls were having a grilled feast early in the morning in the middle of a mountain. These girls knew how to enjoy life. Wyatt tried to recall the last time he had anything to eat let alone go out camping.

”Wyatt, how did you get here?” Agatha was the first to react. What surprised her most was she could not sense Wyattʼs presence until he revealed himself. Though the VR Universe was great for most things when it comes to the power difference between players it was fair for the low-level card apprentice, but for the high-level card apprentice, it was nowhere near fair.

”Wyatt!” Aba exclaimed, after turning to find Wyatt behind her.

”Hello, I wanted to meet you guys. But I did not expect to meet Madam Asong here,” Wyatt answered truthfully while nodding at Asong who nodded back.

”How did you find us? We had to hire a native guide to come to this location,” Aba asked in confusion.

”I created this whole virtual reality so it was not hard to find you guys.”
