Chapter 620: Profit Dividends |
About the Matter of Me Becoming a Witch and Doing Daily Quests
However, what Janna hadn’t expected was that for every witch in the Witch Sect, aside from the somewhat troublesome preparation of materials, most of them were extremely confident—甚至是有些“自负”——in their ability to refine the 【Advanced Blood Source Potion】.
It was as if the 【Advanced Blood Source Potion】 were nothing more than a trivial “beginner-level” potion. Not long after Janna posted the commission within the Witch Sect, she received several “order acceptance” notifications in quick succession.
However, the compensation each witch requested was not the usual Gold Surrel, but rather a portion of the 【Flesh Spores】 from the Flesh Meteor.
Of course, this proposed payment wasn’t much for Janna, who currently possessed eight complete Flesh Meteors. However, considering that the Flesh Meteors would later be used for the 【Prayer Summoning】 of the Demon God Gorgon–Medusa, Janna didn’t want others to know that she had a large quantity of Flesh Meteors.
“Summoning Medusa can be done not only with Flesh Meteors, but also by using 【Thread of Obsession】 as a substitute. So there’s no need for me to be overly frugal…”
Thinking this, Janna’s gaze fell upon her fair and smooth forearm.
The summoning contract she ultimately formed with the Demon God Medusa was not the conventional 【Prayer Summoning】, but rather the 【Ancient God Contract】 within Prayer Summoning.
After the contract was established under the power of the Ancient God Contract, a vertical eye-shaped totem pattern appeared on Janna’s forearm—one that would only manifest during summoning.
Although Janna had yet to master any 【Law Fragments】 related to contracts, through her exceptional comprehension and fortunate opportunities, she had already formed contracts with many powerful beings.
Not to mention the recently contracted Demon God Medusa—both the Seraph Lucifer and the Ocean Envoy Anna-Russell were “contract partners” whose strength far exceeded normal standards.
Not only that, during her time as a wizard apprentice, Janna had used income from part-time work to successfully cultivate the Celestial Sparrow and Flame Guardian into a Lower-Rank Angel and a Flame General with power comparable to formal wizards. At the same time, she had also cultivated Lightning Cloud, Thornflower Sprite, Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, and Radiant Dream Butterfly into formidable beings comparable to Third-Tier Wizard Apprentices.
Of course, Janna also admitted that her ability to contract entities like Seraph Lucifer and Demon God Medusa—beings comparable to gods—was entirely due to the lingering influence of Ivrecia–Twilight.
Even the appearance of the Celestial Sparrow was related to a certain promise she had once made to Ivrecia–Twilight.
However, setting those aside, when it came to contracting and nurturing other summoned creatures, Janna had relied entirely on her own strength.
For instance, the Ocean Envoy Anna-Russell, who possessed strength at the level of a formal wizard, became her contracted partner because Janna had once saved her—not because of Ivrecia–Twilight’s legacy.
“Thinking about it carefully, the reason I’ve been able to contract so many outstanding Contracted Creatures is also because the system’s Talent EXP allowed my B-rank 【Soul Projection】 to evolve into the A-rank 【Spirit Traverse】…”
“No matter how hard I worked, without the system’s support, I would always have remained just an ordinary wizard apprentice…”
“Just like in my previous life… if it weren’t for that car accident, I might have remained an ordinary office worker forever…”
Ordinary and weak, naive and mediocre.
As an ordinary person—or rather, an ordinary wizard apprentice—if born in a peaceful era, Janna could have lived a stable life. But the wizard world she now inhabited was a dangerous world watched by Outer Gods.
If disaster were to strike again, as an ordinary person, Janna would only be a pitiful pawn toyed with by fate—unable to control her destiny, and lacking the power to resist it.
But now, the inheritance left behind by Ivrecia–Twilight in the form of the “Daily Quest System” had given Janna the possibility to take control of her own fate.
Perhaps this “possibility” was still small, and filled with danger—but it allowed her to become a player in the game, rather than a mere “ordinary person” who wasn’t even qualified to be a chess piece.
“Luck… is also a part of strength.”
Having long understood that the rewards of the Daily Quest System came with immense “responsibility,” Janna had already come to terms with it internally—and had even begun to feel gratitude for this unseen “fortune.”
It was this fortune that allowed Janna, who had died in a car accident in her previous life, to live again.
And it was this fortune that allowed her, as an ordinary person, to witness the brilliance and wonder of the extraordinary world—allowing her life to bloom with unparalleled radiance once more…
“Sizzle—”
Just as Janna was about to stand up and put away the third notice on the workbench, the crackling sound of sparks suddenly came from the fireplace again.
“Don’t tell me it’s another emergency notice?”
Looking at the white envelope in the fireplace, Janna—who had been on edge lately—quickly used the Wizard’s Hand to retrieve it.
“So it’s a letter from the Nightingale Opera Troupe.”
When Janna saw the nightingale emblem in the lower-right corner of the envelope, the tension in her heart finally eased.
To be honest, what Janna feared most right now wasn’t being confined within the White Tower—but rather the possibility that one day, the White Tower would suddenly issue an order requiring all wizard apprentices to head to the frontlines.
And the so-called frontlines would most likely be the 【Upper Star Domain】—a place surrounded by Outer Gods.
Even with the protection of the Will of Fate and several Third-Tier Wizards, Janna still worried that a series of dense “accidents” might cause her to perish before she had fully grown.
“So right now, my top priority is to quickly comprehend the 【Law of Spring Order】, advance to a formal wizard, and strengthen my ability to survive…”
Having once again clarified her current goal, Janna opened the envelope sent by the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
“So it’s a letter from the troupe leader.”
After opening it, Janna saw the signature in the lower-right corner—it was Roman Roland, the leader of the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
“This is… profit dividends? There’s actually this much!?”
Looking at the seven-digit number written in the letter, Janna momentarily thought she was seeing things…
