Misty World: Start with SSS skill



3 hours had passed in the Void Space. Finally, the 'war' between Hikaru, Selvih, and Bryen also ended. The victory was of course in Hikaru's favor.

He let Selvih and Bryen continue to stay in the Void Space to rest, as even if they went out now, they wouldn't be able to walk.

After enough rest, Selvih asked: "What's wrong?"

Hearing her question, Hikaru knew what she was talking about: "Narita contacted me, saying that he met a rather interesting girl, however, her mind has a bit of a problem, and wants me to go to the Healing Hall to solve it."

"An interesting girl?" Selvih suddenly smiled mysteriously and greedily.

"Oi! Your thoughts are already on your face."

Hearing Hikaru's words, Selvih lay on top of him, letting the two soft mountains press against his chest until they deformed.

He felt Selvih's warm body, plus the heat from the two mountains pressing against his chest made him feel a little aroused.

"Hehehe… Kiki… I just wanted to help you…" Selvih whiny said.

Hikaru shook his head: "That's not helping me, it's harming me. I am already satisfied with the current number, there is no need to add more people."

"The more people, the less time I spend with you, do you think that's okay?"

Bryen also approached Hikaru, but she lay beside him, resting her head on his arm, while letting her body stick to his.

Hikaru gulped, she felt that Bryen and Selvih didn't seem to want to let him live, as they just wanted to drain his 'milk'.

Luckily he had a skill that could give him unlimited stamina when doing this, or else he would have turned into a dry corpse.

"Okay, next time we will keep playing, now it's time to get to work."

Hearing Hikaru's words, Selvih and Bryen both nodded. The three of them then exited the Void Space, changed into new clothes, and then Bryen suddenly spoke up.

"Master, I can help you with what you just said."

"Hm?! Bryen, can you do it?"

Hearing Hikaru's question, Bryen nodded. From the moment she came to this place and was cured by Hikaru, she considered him her master.

During her stay, Bryen also learned many things from many people, especially the women of Hikaru.

Because of that, she also understood well what Hikaru was doing and thinking.

Bryen is not a fool, she learnt everything very quickly, and she even learned Runes to the intermediate level.

Bryen nodded and said, "Um… I am also involved in the management of many things in this territory. I think I understand what you want, and I believe I can do this."

Hikaru nodded and said, "Um. If we can recruit that girl named Lily, then we don't have to worry about the epidemic and many other problems related to healing."

"Heh?!" At this moment, Selvih suddenly spoke: "Does she have such powerful abilities?"

Hikaru shook his head: "No, however, I can guide her, and let her unleash her potential."

"And that priest too, his name is Mojure, he is from the Saric Sanctuary. He is a level 4 king."

"Perhaps he won't threaten us, however, his mentality is a bit different from other priests, so we can use him."

"Kiki… you mean… you intend to use Mojure to build a church in our territory?"

As Hikaru heard what Selvih said he smiled and said: "Selvih, you are thinking more like me."

"Hehehe… since I am your woman, my thoughts and heart are always towards you."

Hikaru was happy as he heard Selvih's sweet words that seemed to melt his heart.

What man could stand up to the sweet words coming from such a beautiful girl?

"Okay, stop teasing me. Then Bryen will take care of this, you can go ahead, if you can't handle it, contact me."

"Yes!" Bryen bowed then left.

Selvih now came to Hikaru's side and said, "Kiki, when will you use the mixed-bloods."

"I was thinking…" Hikaru shook his head and said, "At first, I planned to let them live next to the official residential area, however, now I feel that it is not suitable."

"I plan to let them live in the western area and also towards  the northwest and west."

"It is an area close to the Murky forest, where they can easily hunt or perform tasks like gathering materials."

"Besides… that area is far from the official residential area and Player's area, so that can limit most of the possible trouble."

Selvih nodded: "Um, that's also a good thing. The murky Forest doesn't have too many monsters because Tsuraguki's army has eliminated them all, leaving only weak monsters."

"If you let the mixed-bloods live there, there's no need to worry about being attacked by monsters."

Hikaru shook his head: "The monsters attacking is not a big deal, anyway we have Misty Lamps and the wall is made from Faivern."

"What I am having a hard time deciding is whether to let the mixed-bloods participate in the construction of the territory or let them do normal jobs."

Selvih thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think it takes time for mixed-bloods to get used to living and the rules here."

"Then we will divide them into two groups, males and females. The males will do jobs like digging mines, and gathering materials outside the territory."

"Females will participate in production jobs at Mika's place or participate in lighter jobs."

Hikaru nodded: "Um… then, you should do what you feel is reasonable."

"Ah! One apartment building is too few, so we plan to build more apartment buildings. What do you mean?"

Hearing Hikaru's question, Selvih sat on the sofa, leaned back, puffed out her chest, she was purposely showing off her two huge mountains that looked like they wanted to escape the  clothes she was wearing.

Hikaru sighed, he felt that Selvih was growing bolder, as she was always trying to seduce him.

"Hm… Kiki, the apartment buildings you designed are amazing, there's nothing to complain about."

"However, I think it would be very difficult for us to build those buildings alone, and the people living in it would feel unappreciative of what they have."

"Therefore, I propose that the mixed-blood build the next apartment buildings under Darnag's supervision and guidance."

Hikaru also felt that it made sense to hear that.

"This way of doing things both allows the mixed-blooded people to easily integrate into our way of working."

"They will even know how much work it takes to build a building, which would help them appreciate what they have."

After Hikaru spoke, Selvih smiled and nodded: "That's right. Therefore, we have introduced a new policy. Even though we have a lot of resources that we can use to build right now, it won't boost the economy, and it won't get people to work."

"I intend to bring about 1,000 mixed-bloods to the resources that Bryen has entrusted to us to begin mining."

Hikaru nodded at that: "Um… it's time to start mining resources. Nor can we rely on resources coming from the System forever. We need to start mining resources."

"Ah! There is a question that I am still thinking about, is the wood from the trees growing inside the fog usable?"

Selvih heard that and smiled: "Kiki, those trees don't give you wood but only meat."

"Meat?"

"That's right, monster meat. Those trees have evolved to absorb nutrients from the mists and corpses of monsters."

"Because of that, their bodies have evolved to suit this condition, so when you cut down a tree, you don't get wood, you only get tree flesh."

"Heh?!" Hikaru, feeling confused, asked, "So... where do you guys get the wood from?"

"From the magic of wood-type magicians. They can accelerate the growth of plants. Because what feeds it is the mana of the magicians, the flesh inside the tree trunk hardens into wood."

"So… when that tree is grown with mana will it be like the green tree in our territory?"

Selvih heard Hikaru's words and shook her head: "No, its leaves would be black and they are more like traps."

"Traps?"

"That's right, they use it to trap small monsters in the mist. Then those leaves will secrete a liquid to decompose the monster and absorb."

Hikaru took a deep breath, it seemed… any creature or plant that lived in the fog had evolved to be able to eat meat, as they did not live by the methods he knew normally.

However, the same is true. The ground and the air were both poisoned by the mist, and they had lost all their nutrients, the only nutrients they could use were from other monsters.

Trees choose to evolve to survive rather than sit back and wait for death and extinction.

"So… the price of wood must be very high, right?"

Hearing Hikaru's question, Selvih smiled, took out a wooden block from the space bag, and gave it to him.

Hikaru held the small wooden block in his palm, and felt that the block was a bit… spongy.

That's right, it felt like a piece of foam rather than wood. He tried to grasp the block of wood in his hand, and it immediately deformed.

"As you can see, even if the wood is made up of trees that magicians nurture, it is not hard."

"In order to make it harder, they need to use elemental stones. Of course, because it has to go through many stages, its price is extremely high."

"The development process is too cumbersome, the cost is high, so few people want to develop and use wood."

Hikaru smiled when he heard that, he suddenly discovered an opportunity to develop the economy and attract merchants from all over the world.

…

At the Healing Hall, Bryen went to see three nurses standing around a girl covered in dirty clothes, their expressions extremely confused, as they didn't know what to do.

Narita who was standing nearby didn't say anything, as he just stared at the girl.

Bryen approached Narita and asked, "Haven't you solved the girl's problem yet?"

Seeing Bryen, Narita sighed and said, "I can't handle her. Where's Hikaru?"

Bryen shook his head: "Master is busy, I will take care of this matter for him."

"You?!"
