God of Tricksters

Agata realized Theo might find someone with an order back in Thersland other than Ava's mother, so she immediately stepped back. There was no need to pry that information.

Meanwhile, Maya was so focused on the Blue Star Crystal that she didn't care about her injury anymore.

"Theo, what do you mean by Blue Star Crystal?"

"We found a place like that underground. The little guy actually found them and led us to it. From what we could see, we can stack all those crystals and create four Cubicar worth…" She pointed at the Cubicar behind them.

"!!!" Maya widened her eyes and gulped down. "Where?"

"Down there." Agata shrugged.

"Down… there…" Maya took a peek of the hole and fell silent. She couldn't help but say, "I don't know why but when I'm with you, it seems that my fate is miserable… I mean, the hidden monster of the Arkahan Volcano. Then, there was also the witch. Last but not least, we found a King Class Monster.

"On the other hand, I could say that they weren't that bad. Our original mission was to acquire the flower, and the hidden monster was the risk. Then, the witch was something like a bonus since the weapons were numerous.

"Then, there's the Blue Star Crystal… I guess I should say that when I'm with you, it'll always be a high-risk, high-return situation." She looked at Theo. "Well, you have a clone, your brain, and Ava. These three big points are what differentiate you from normal people… I guess this kind of result should be expected."

"…" Theo remained silent, not bothering to even reply to her useless remark. He simply summoned his clone and jumped to the hole. "Drop your armor and follow me."

Ava and Agata followed him while Maya glanced at Clone Theo, who seemed to be guarding the Cubicar. After making sure that no monster was around, she put down her armor and leaped to the bottom.

Theo caught her with his Telekinesis.

After that, he led Maya toward the previous room.

On the way, Agata couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what is this Blue Star Crystal?"

"We usually grind that crystal as a replacement of either gunpowder or Diaroite, which is the advanced version of the crystal. The Blue Star Crystal is another level of Diaroite.

"For example, most of the bullets I have use Diaroite. Only a small portion of them use Blue Star Crystal, as they are pretty rare.

"At the same time, extracting such a thing is hard because not only do we need to be wary about monsters, we also need to look for them.

"The worst part is… The King Class Monster can come to that place and eliminate every single one of you. And there's even a chance of a World Class Monster getting involved.

"Hence, we usually seek Diaroite or Blue Star Crystal first before investigating the whole region. We need to either discuss this matter with the King Class Monster or kill them directly.

"Still, it's hard for us to kill King Class Monsters… Not only do they control all the monsters in that region, but they are also pretty hard to find to begin with.

"That's why even though these two minerals are pretty useful, the supply is simply lacking in the market.

"Normally, we seek some replacement from fire type monsters. They can be bred, but in the end, it's pretty hard to get a huge amount.

"That's why bullets that we usually use are pretty expensive. That's also why guns are not that popular right now. They are too expensive. Meanwhile, if you use other weapons, you can just train your body and get stronger… Not that big of a deal."

Theo listened to her explanation and nodded in understanding. "As expected of the CEO of the Starry Group."

"Heh." She made a grin, staring at his face. "Impressed? Want to join?"

"Haha." Theo chuckled and said, "Anyway, I wonder how much will you pay for this finding?"

"But I was supposed to find it if I were going down."

"That's pretty hard. Since the little guy was the one who found it."

"…" Maya fell silent, understanding what Theo said.

"Also, without me, the Dark Order wouldn't give it to you." Theo smirked.

"Well…" Maya certainly couldn't retort this one. After all, it was clear that the black knight did everything because of Theo. His son contributed to it, but the Dark Order seemed to give Theo something special.

So, Theo was the one who contributed to this one.

"Let me calculate everything first. The danger of the Arkhana Volcano has increased the value of the flower, so your contribution is also pretty high for that one. Then, the witch and the weapons in that place along with the information about the place…

"I need to add the Blue Star Crystal worth…" Maya scratched the back of her head, feeling troubled. "Let me calculate everything first."

"Sure thing." Theo nodded.

Little did she know, what she was about to find would soon shock her again.

"By the way, how do you even turn the Blue Crystal into gunpowder?"

"We grind it. I have the equipment of course."

Suddenly, Maya saw a light at the end of the tunnel and opened her mouth. "That…"

"Yeah." Theo nodded.

Without hesitation, she sped up as she couldn't wait to see the place.

When she reached there, Maya dropped her jaw in disbelief.

As soon as Theo, Agata, and Ava caught up, they tried to shake Maya's body to wake her up.

But the first thing she did after waking up was to take a walk around the room with a serious expression as though she was calculating the mineral.

Theo and the others remained silent and let her do whatever she needed to do for the time being.

It didn't take too long for her to come back. And her first action stunned all of them.

"You're my lucky star!" Maya leaped toward Theo and circled her hand around his neck.. Her momentum pushed him down as they both fell to the ground. "You're truly my lucky star, Theo!"
