Chapter 142: I Think I’ve Pollen

Adrian continued scribbling through the paper, changing its type from a consumable to equipment. He tried to erase the side-effect, but perhaps because a blue page wasn’t enough, the pesky side-effect would always return.

Adrian sighed. "No use."

"Is it not good enough?" Rayen asked, still expectant.

"It’s a good idea, but this blue page..."

Sigh.

"Should we just think of other things?"

Adrian didn’t respond right away. It took him a while before coming to a decision.

"I still think it’s a good suggestion," Adrian said. "Personally, I don’t want to abandon it."

"Then what do we do?" Yeo Haru also asked. He also liked Rayen’s concept.

"Let me think for a moment," Adrian responded, stroking his chin once to think.

A few moments later, his eyes gleamed before taking up the pen again.

"Instead of not feeling fatigue, how about something that would make our recovery faster?"

Rayen and the other two’s eyes gleamed in excitement. They nodded as Adrian wrote. Finally, the newly revised idea was presented before them.

[Resting Bracelet: "Are you tired? Why not rest for a moment?"

Sleep deprived, a certain cactus thought how he could make an equipment based on his favorite energy drink. Then, a wisteria wrote the page for the cactus because the cactus has no imagination.

Effects: The user that wears this will recover their physical and mental energy faster.]

Aside from the description that seemed to provoke Rayen’s patience, the contents were simple. The effects that Adrian had written initially weren’t even adjusted.

The three sighed in relief. It was good news that there wasn’t a side-effect added this time.

Although it seemed so similar to the Croissant and Granola Bar they could find in the cafeteria, those two consumables only healed the physical fatigue.

Besides, those two still cost MC while this equipment was only given for free. Croissants cost 10 MC each and the Granola Bars cost 100 MC each. Although they seemed cheap, once accumulated, it would still be a large expenditure.

More so with the instant recovery Revitalizing Drink. It costs 1,000 MC! If Rayen calculated his expenses just with the Revitalizing Drink alone, he’d probably quit indulging with it.

Making this bracelet was worth it. The others could also borrow it among themselves.

"Wait, let me add something more," Adrian said.

Instead of a vague description of "faster energy recovery," he included some conditions that made it clearer.

[Effect: Faster Energy Recovery - If the user sits down while wearing the Resting Bracelet, the recovery rate will be +100% faster than normal. Upon sleeping, the recovery rate will increase to 500%.]

Even after adjusting it, the book page didn’t light up. Seemingly not satisfied, Adrian once again tweaked the numbers until the book paged adjusted it back.

’So 200% and 500% was the limit.’

"Okay. This would do," Adrian said, finally satisfied.

After that, he signed the book page to confirm its completion.

’Two down!’

They still have 27 minutes left.

At the same time as the bracelet was finished, Iris also informed them that her work was done. The four gathered behind Iris to see what she had written.

[I Think I’ve Pollen: "Wow, aren’t you blooming? I think I’ve fallen in love..."

It’s not literal pollen. Just a face powder for the seven flowers (minus two).

Type: Cosmetics

Effects: Once applied, add 1 level to Visual until washed off. (If not washed off after eight hours, the user will experience acne break out.)]

Rayen wanted to laugh at the book page name.

’What’s with the dad joke? But an increase in visual stat with just a powder?! I thought at most, we would just get a visual charm increase.’

Considering this was a blue page, it was already OP for its tier. And the side-effects were bearable, as long as they were cautious and paid attention to time.

"Nice." Adrian nodded with a wistful smile.

With that, they now have three total pages. Only Ayumi and Xu Jiji were left writing on the table. Rayen decided to take a look at Xu Jiji, followed by Iris behind him.

The little kid’s face, though...

"What’s wrong?" Iris asked, concerned.

Xu Jiji’s face looked constipated as he stared hard at the still blank brown parchment. The others had already finished creating three pages, but Xu Jiji hadn’t written even a single line. Yeo Haru also noticed Xu Jiji’s struggle and approached him.

"Hey, kiddo. Want me to help you?" Yeo Haru asked.

Hearing the word "kiddo," Xu Jiji glared in his direction. "I’m not a kid."

"Yes, yes. But let me do it," Yeo Haru said.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Jiji eventually handed him the pen and made space for him. Yeo Haru wasn’t able to react for a moment.

Rayen snickered inwardly.

’Unlike you, Jiji’s more mature.’

Xu Jiji knew they were pressed for time, so he didn’t insist on writing it himself. Rayen also let Yeo Haru be. Even if this guy lacked imagination, it was just a green book page. After already acquiring three useful items, they could afford to let a mere green page go to waste.

Regaining his smile, Yeo Haru started scribbling on the parchment paper. Rayen didn’t pay him any more attention and instead looked toward Xu Jiji who had expended considerable energy despite not being able to write anything down.

Seeing Xu Jiji’s overly-fatigued face, Rayen approached Adrian who was observing Ayumi. "Hey, lend Xu Jiji the bracelet."

"Huh?" Adrian asked absent-mindedly, but soon realized.

He gave Rayen the bracelet, who also handed it to Xu Jiji. "Here. Wear this and try to nap. We’ll wake you up once it’s over."

"Eh?"

Xu Jiji observed the blue beaded bracelet that Rayen gave him, a cool sensation immediately surged inside him, slowly dribbling away his accumulated fatigue. After he realized what it was for, he leaned his head down to the table to snore away. The little kid eventually fell asleep.

’How can he sleep so fast?’

Rayen also sat to preserve his remaining energy. This challenge was too mentally draining. How could Adrian even stay energetic despite creating two book pages?

Right now, the usually lazy writer was suggesting something to Ayumi, who only nodded without any expression.

Sigh.

’Perks of being a writer, I guess.’

A few more minutes later — just five minutes away from the one hour time limit, Rayen heard Yeo Haru chuckle beside him. When he turned his head toward Yeo Haru, the petty dancer was laughing to himself while eyeing the book page in his hand.

"What are you laughing about?" Rayen asked.

"Hehe. I came up with something good."

Raising his brows, he looked at the contents on Yeo Haru’s page.
