Wallis had achieved his purpose for this visit and was eager to return to the main city to sell those items. Without hesitation, he said his goodbyes.
Watching Wallis’s caravan leave, Ebe looked at the few cups of milk tea and biscuits in his bag and turned to head towards the mercenary group. He still didn’t know what effect these items might have and decided to find a few people to test them out.
Upon arriving at the Star Constellation Mercenary Group, he instructed to gather several individuals with different abilities to try them.
First, he handed over a cup of the extremely expensive milk tea to his brother who had lost an arm.
Eren glanced at it and drank without hesitation.
The moment the liquid touched his tongue, his face stiffened and turned pale. Holding back the urge to swallow, Eren exclaimed with a tearful face, “This is way too sweet!”
Ebe felt nervous upon hearing this and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, playfully knocking Eren on the head.
Eren had been drinking for a while, but there was no sign of any effect. It seemed that drinking it was just like drinking sugary water; nothing changed at all.
After pondering for a while, Ebe decided to continue the tests and gave the drink to an ordinary person.
The person was Eren’s brother, who lacked a magical core and couldn’t absorb magical energy; he was someone without any combat talent.
Previously, Ebe had let him try cola, but unfortunately, it elicited no reaction.
They concluded that these items could only take effect when consumed by warriors.
After giving the ordinary person a cup of milk tea, Ebe didn’t pay much attention to his reaction and turned his focus to another item: the so-called iron biscuit.
The biscuit was hard and indeed difficult to bite, but upon closer inspection, one could see it was not as hard as iron; at least a low-level warrior could crush it.
Just as he was about to take a bite of the biscuit, a muffled sound came from in front of him.
Ebe’s hand trembled, and the biscuit nearly fell to the ground. Looking up, he saw the person who had just drunk the milk tea slumped on the floor, moaning in pain.
He rushed forward, furrowing his brow as he examined the situation, channeling magical energy to find out what was wrong.
When the energy reached the heart area, he suddenly froze, re-examining it countless times.
No, this is impossible…
He abruptly looked up at the person’s face; it was indeed the ordinary person without a magical core.
But… there was a vast power within him, sustaining his magical core in the process of transformation, which had already started crystallizing. Perhaps soon he would convert his magical core and officially become a warrior.
Nothing in this world had ever allowed an ordinary person to possess a magical core or become a warrior or a mage.
Ebe cut off the flow of magical energy, stunned in place. He realized this would be world-shaking news.
Eren anxiously held his brother’s hand, asking Ebe, “Captain, what’s wrong with my brother? Is he okay?!”
“No, this is a good thing,” Ebe murmured.
Suddenly remembering something, he stood up abruptly, took two or three steps to grab the iron biscuit and handed it to Eren.
“Eat this.”
Not long after the biscuit was swallowed, Eren felt a slight itch at the site of his lost arm, as if he were actually growing a new arm out of thin air.
Ebe finally couldn’t suppress his smile any longer and burst out laughing, giving Eren a hearty pat on the chest while murmuring, “You should thank that person. He has brought hope to the world.”
Chapter 12
The waves brought about by the new products didn’t stop there. On his way to the main city of Kaldra, Wallis received a letter from Ebe.
At that moment, he was sitting in the carriage, traveling briskly, when one of his subordinates softly called him and handed a letter to him.
Wallis opened the letter and scanned it with wide eyes, his expression turning grave.
After finishing the letter, he slapped it down on the table and stood up, pacing anxiously in the carriage.
Suddenly thinking of something, Wallis quickly turned to his subordinate and said urgently, “You, go find an ordinary person without a magical core!”
Taking out a cup of taro bubble tea, he poured some into a cup. The milky white liquid, mixed with some dense granular solids, looked unremarkable, just like everything else from that shop, without any magical energy fluctuations.
After calling in an ordinary person, he had him drink the milk tea, confirming that what Ebe had said was true.
In this world, there actually existed items that could change a person’s talents!
The generation of a magical core was predetermined; it decided the path one could take in life from birth.
Wallis could almost envision the immense uproar these items would cause among the nobles.
For nobles who had money but no purpose, a hundred gold coins were hardly a concern.
Moreover, some nobles were without magical cores themselves, and just to become a warrior or a mage, they would never hesitate to spend gold coins.
Wallis lifted the carriage curtain and shouted to the driver, “Increase the speed, don’t stop along the way; let’s expedite our journey to Kaldra.”

The Abyss.
Lu Si pressed the button to close the main door; it was eight o’clock, and the shop had already closed for the night.
He walked up to his room, glancing curiously towards the third floor.
This was a three-story small villa, but currently, the third floor remained closed and sealed off.
“What’s on the third floor, and how do I unlock it?”
The system hesitated for a moment, sounding somewhat shy. “Master, I’m not entirely sure… But it should unlock when you enter the next world.”
Lu Si didn’t dwell on that topic too much and went to the kitchen to prepare a few simple dishes.
