"Sir, how about joining our team? Just contribute ten bottles of recovery potion and sell them to members at a low price, and you'll qualify for membership. Joining our team grants you access to many resources and information. How about it?"
As Takeru sold his potions, he quickly drew attention. Some people directly approached, attempting to get something for nothing.
"Scram." Hearing their words, Takeru glanced at them calmly and spoke.
"You..." Seeing Takeru so unaccommodating, the man was somewhat angry.
"Sir, don't be so hasty. We're all Reincarnators here. It's inevitable we'll encounter each other in mission worlds. Having more friends is better than having more enemies, wouldn't you say?" At this moment, a man with a scar on his face behind him spoke with a light smile.
"Are you threatening me?" Hearing his words, Takeru raised his eyes and said calmly.
"No, I, Wild Wolf, simply cherish talent. I only wished to invite you to join the Wild Wolf Reincarnator Squad I founded." Hearing Takeru's words, the scarred man said with a light smile.
"Is that so? Thank you for your regard. If you wish to purchase recovery potions, you are welcome. If you are here to disturb my business, then I think you will regret it." Hearing his words, Takeru said unceremoniously.
"Interesting. You're the first to dare speak to me like this." Hearing Takeru's words, the scarred man's expression darkened.
"What's this? The illustrious Wild Wolf Squad can't even afford a bottle of recovery potion and resorts to robbery?" At this moment, another voice interjected.
"Niiyama Kazuki, do you intend to interfere in Wild Wolf's affairs?" Seeing the man, the scarred man showed a cautious expression.
"Hmph, I simply dislike certain people's methods." Hearing Wild Wolf's words, the man called Niiyama Kazuki spoke with righteous indignation.
"Tch, the pot calling the kettle black. You, Niiyama Kazuki, are no saint either." Hearing his words, Wild Wolf said mockingly.
"Is that so? At the very least, I don't force buy or sell, nor do I try to get something for nothing." Hearing his words, Kazuki shrugged.
"How many of these recovery potions are left? I'll take the rest." Saying this, Kazuki paid no further attention to Wild Wolf and directly addressed Takeru.
"Are you sure?" Hearing his words, Takeru showed a peculiar expression.
"Uh." Hearing Takeru's words, Kazuki had an ominous premonition.
"How about this: I'll purchase one hundred bottles." Thinking this, he quickly amended his offer.
"Thank you for your patronage. 50,000 points." Hearing his words, Takeru waved his hand, and one hundred bottles of recovery potion neatly appeared on the stall.
Seeing Takeru actually produce one hundred bottles of recovery potion, Kazuki swallowed hard. However, he could still afford 50,000 points.
Unlike Takeru, as a team leader, his point earnings didn't rely solely on himself.
"Can we be friends? If you have any good items in the future, feel free to contact me." After the transaction, Kazuki handed Takeru a business card.
"Okay." Observing Kazuki's conduct, although Takeru didn't know his true character behind the scenes, his current performance wasn't disagreeable. Moreover, he was a potential major customer.
After the transaction with Kazuki, seeing fewer people in the Reincarnation Space and Yukino and the others already having returned, Takeru chose to leave.
Half an hour of trading earned him 62,000 points, bringing Takeru's points to 646,600. Takeru was very satisfied.
Upon Takeru's return, he found Yukino and the others engaged in animated discussion.
Although everyone completed their missions at different times, their departure and return times were fixed. As Takeru returned, everyone's attention turned to him.
This time, everyone learned that Hachiman and Mio were in the same world as Takeru. Both achieved S- evaluations, which pleased them greatly.
"Takeru, what evaluation rank did you get this time?" As Takeru appeared, Ritsu looked at him expectantly.
"S+." Looking at the curious group, Takeru did not conceal it.
"As expected." Hearing Takeru's words, everyone nodded knowingly. However, through Mio's accounts, they had already learned something of Takeru's actions.
"What about you all?" Looking at everyone, Takeru was curious about their gains this time.
"I got A+ this time!" Sylphin, beside Takeru, was the first to speak.
"S-." Ui spoke softly.
"A+." Taihei stated his result.
After some inquiry, Takeru learned that everyone had achieved very high evaluations. The lowest was A-. Indeed, this mission wasn't particularly difficult for everyone. Monster levels were relatively low, and with the bonuses from numerous class changes, everyone achieved considerable improvement.
After brief discussion, time reached 10:30. Takeru then escorted everyone back to the castle.
The girls continued their discussions and headed toward the large bathhouse. With the mission complete, everyone prepared to soak and relax.
"Onii-chan, where did you go?" Takeru and the others' commotion naturally alerted Miu and the others. They came downstairs, curiously looking at Takeru.
"Yes, I handled some matters. Have you finished meditating?" Hearing Miu's words, Takeru directly changed the subject.
"Not yet." Hearing Takeru's words, Miu naturally understood he was changing the subject. Wisely, she didn't pursue it further.
"Onii-chan, is that a slime in your hand?" Soon, Miu noticed the monster Takeru was holding.
"Yes." Seeing Miu recognize it, Takeru was unsurprised. This world also had various anime and games. The image and abilities of slimes were deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.
Learning it was indeed a slime, Miu and Ai curiously came over to hold it. Both were quite curious about this game monster appearing in reality.
After bidding everyone goodnight, Takeru took Miu and Ai back to their rooms.
Handing the slime to the two and speaking briefly with them, Takeru went to the bathroom to wash up. Then, he created a clone and his main body entered the portable space.
Upon entering the portable space, Takeru found everything largely unchanged.
This relieved Takeru, confirming his speculation.
Spaces from different worlds were not interconnected. However, upon returning to the original world, previously developed spaces did not disappear.
Confirming no major changes in the portable space, Takeru took out the Paradise Rice and BB Corn he had purchased.
Selecting an empty plot, Takeru plucked the Paradise Rice seeds and planted them.
Takeru clearly understood that although legend said only one Paradise Rice stalk could be harvested per hectare, this referred to wild growth conditions, or that this rice required significant nutrients.
Takeru removed all the Paradise Rice grains from the entire stalk, planted them in the surrounding area, then sat down and began catalyzing the rice stalks with mana.
As his internal energy rapidly depleted, the Paradise Rice absorbed sufficient energy and quickly sprouted and grew. After about twenty minutes, Takeru had expended over 50,000 mana, completing the catalysis of this small plot of Paradise Rice.
Looking at the rice stalks, taller than a person, each laden with plump grains, Takeru smiled with satisfaction. Although he hadn't yet tasted it, Takeru believed it would not disappoint.
Thinking this, Takeru extended his Telekinesis Domain, rapidly harvesting the Paradise Rice. Keeping half as seeds, Takeru used telekinesis to husk the other half, revealing plump, translucent grains.
Storing them, Takeru prepared to enjoy them tomorrow. There was no rush to plant the remaining seeds. It would be more convenient to have Midori and the others plant them tomorrow.
Subsequently, Takeru dug a hole, dropped in the BB Corn, covered it with soil, and watered it. Then, he catalyzed again it.
As Takeru's internal energy rapidly converted into life energy and surged into the BB Corn kernel, it quickly sprouted. As time passed, it rapidly grew into a corn stalk twice the height of a person.
