Chapter 192 189-I Just Wanted to Waste Money, But You Guys Want to Use It to Level Up?!
Watching the bunny trot back once again, Velen sighed and waved his hand.
"Go find Clinton. Have him give you guys a spellbeast-only section."
"Master, you're too kind to me!"
"I swear, I regret not being a female bunny—if I were, I'd give you a whole litter of little bunnies!"
The bunny's ears stood straight up with excitement, his little paws rubbing together like the world's most shameless flatterer.
WHAM!
Velen raised a foot and kicked him flying again.
Too shameless!
He deeply regretted ever giving the bunny that speech-enhancement potion.
A perfectly normal rabbit—how did it end up like this?
The No. 1 Rabbit in the Universe.
The only comfort Velen had was that he hadn't picked the wrong direction to train him—this bunny was truly a "sword" through and through.
Not far away, seeing the bunny scampering off to find Clinton to change the blueprints, Ironback Centipede's eyes filled with tears of emotion.
That's my Bunny Bro.
One shout of "Bunny Bro," and all is right in the world!
By the afternoon, under Velen's direction, the Starry Toilet, now gleaming under the sunlight, was finally complete.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on spending all of today's Special Products! Reward: 1,000 Luxury Points and 1× Starry Underwear!
Starry Underwear: Women's undergarment made from Starry Stone. Warm in winter, cool in summer, soft, comfortable, and possesses indestructible defense!
…An underwear?
Velen immediately took out the item.
What the—
???!
He stared at the system reward in total disbelief.
Screw this Starry Underwear!
It's literally just a few straps woven out of Starry Stone. If Anastasia sees this, she'll kill me!
Indestructible? So what!
What the hell is it even supposed to block?!
"System, isn't this reward a little too… random?"
Ding! Based on testing, this inner armor can block all physical and magical attacks below Tier-9. Comfort rating: SSS rank. Aesthetic rating—
"Stop!" Velen held his head. "Fine, I surrender."
There's no way I'm giving this to Anastasia. She'd kill me on the spot!
He decided to set this hot potato aside for now.
It wasn't a Special Product anyway—worst case, he'd just find a chance to secretly toss it…
Ding! New Quest: Deliver the Starry Underwear to Fortress Lord Anastasia.
Reward: 10 million Luxury Points.
Failure has no penalty. Quest can be declined.
What the hell?!
Velen cursed aloud.
"System, are you freaking kidding me?!"
Ding! Last quest reward was 500,000 Luxury Points. This one is 10 million. Fully within system regulations.
Heh.
Velen let out a bitter laugh.
Back when the reward was 500k, what was his strength? Now?
He was already Titan Rank Level 9.
To reach Hero Rank Level 1, he needed 10 million Luxury Points.
To reach Hero Rank Level 9? A whopping 90 million!
"…To hell with it!"
For the sake of Luxury Points!
Gritting his teeth, Velen walked toward Anastasia.
"Anastasia, I've got something made of Starry Stone I want to give you!"
As he handed over a spatial ring, he made sure to highlight the material.
Starry Stone?
Anastasia recalled the outerwear she received previously and had a sudden sense of dread.
Taking a deep breath, she used her mind power to scan the contents of the ring.
"…This is…"
Her first glance at the Starry Underwear left her confused—she didn't quite register what it was.
Once it clicked, a flush instantly spread across her cheeks.
"Don't get mad."
"Absolutely don't get mad at this spoiled brat."
"He's definitely doing this on purpose to provoke me. I won't fall for it!"
"As a saintess, I must not be shaken by a money-burning maniac!"
Anastasia kept hypnotizing herself internally, trying her best to suppress the urge to beat the crap out of Velen.
After some deep breathing, she forced a smile and said sweetly,
"Since it's a gift from you… I'll accept it."
Ding! Quest Complete. Reward: 10 million Luxury Points!
…What?!
Hearing her response, Velen was completely dumbfounded.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go!
Shocked, aren't you?
Seeing Velen's stunned face, Anastasia flashed a triumphant smile—after being tormented for so long, she finally got a win!
"Velen, come here quick!"
Suddenly, William's anxious voice called out from a distance.
"Grand Senator, what's wrong?" Velen hurried over.
"I'm ready to face the sixth Thunder Tide—but the sky's completely silent. Isn't that strange?"
"In a place like this fortress, something's off. Any idea why?"
Whenever something weird happened, William's first instinct was to ask Velen.
"It's because that one-eyed guy is still here!"
"Didn't you see how he scared off the Thunder Tide with just one shout last time?"
"With him around, Thunder Tide wouldn't even dare to show up!"
Velen continued, "Grand Senator, you don't need to tank the Thunder Tide. I've got God-Rank Potions—just drink four bottles and you can skip four Thunder Tides and jump straight to Ascended Rank peak!"
"No side effects. Instant upgrade!"
"No!"
Unexpectedly, William refused without hesitation, leaving Velen utterly baffled.
Anastasia going off-script was one thing.
But now even Senator William was going rogue?
Velen had no idea where things went wrong—why was everyone acting in reverse now?
"What kind of garbage potion is that?!"
"I've waited so long for the Starry Toilet! Now that it's finally built, I'm going to take a proper crap through this disaster, and make my legend echo across the entire universe!"
William silently vowed to himself:
The first dump in the Starry Toilet must be mine. Not even Jesus could stop me. I said it!
"Senator William, are you sure you're ready?"
"You really don't want the potion? You're going to tank the Thunder Tide?"
Velen asked again, just to be sure.
If something went wrong with the hut and a bolt of lightning struck William while he was on the toilet…
Velen couldn't even imagine that disaster of a scene.
"Velen, my decision is final. But first, please ask that one-eyed… err, the honorable one-eyed gentleman to step aside for a while."
Remembering how that one-eyed man had terrified the Thunder Calamity with just one swing of his scythe, William quickly swallowed back the word maniac, and respectfully switched to honorable one.
If that guy heard, he might very well throw down right then and there.
"Red-Hair, go take a walk. If Senator William can't hold out, then you can step in."
Seeing William's resolve, Velen gave the command.
"As you wish, Master."
As the one-eyed man disappeared into a flash of blood-red light, the sky instantly rumbled with thunder and gathered dark clouds. The Thunder Calamity began to take form!
"Brothers, I'll go test the waters first!"
With that, William charged into the luxurious Starry Toilet, his face full of excitement.
Hahahahahaha!
Here I come!
Seeing William's wild charge, Velen was completely stunned.
What the hell?!
William's going to weather a Thunder Tide… in a toilet shack?!
I just wanted to blow some cash…
And now you guys are using my toilet to LEVEL UP?!
No wonder they were so enthusiastic about building the Starry Toilet!
I thought I was just flexing and wasting money, but you all were actually plotting to ascend?!
Realizing that Starry Stone absorbs thunder, Velen nearly lost his mind.
This was supposed to be a monument to luxury—
not a Thunder Tide-leveling farming machine!
What do you think?
