Mixed Blessing System



"Unbelievable!" Lothur muttered as he walked out of that cave, seeing the stone walls of that place crumbling, leaving aside the meat of those creatures.

Unfortunately, he had completely destroyed those bodies and could not use them for much. The only use would be to save it to make some kind of food, but Lothur didn't like it, nor did he know how to cook it.

As much as he liked good food, cooking was not for him.

But this was a revelatory experience for him!

'My abilities have increased greatly in power!' He thought to himself, noting that part of that destructive power of the winds was a consequence of his advancement in terms of Soul power.

Not only was the skill awe-inspiring, but he now had far superior characteristics than before. He had not even needed to use his Platinum-grade weapon and had eliminated 2 Supreme Saints without much effort.

Thinking of this, Lothur smiled in satisfaction, already flying towards Petha Empire.

Now that he had absorbed this bone, it was time for him to continue his journey searching for Mathias' family with Verna!

Due to his new powers, particularly his speed, which had increased by 50%, Lothur soon reached an area of the Petha Empire where he knew that if he continued traveling in a northeasterly direction, he would reach human cities.

He then stopped in a large forest and activated his skill, One With Nature, looking for tribes and small villages where Ancestral Folk hybrids lived.

His ability was much stronger now that he was a Supreme Saint, so Lothur could now investigate a much larger space than before.

But on this first attempt in Petha Empire, he got nothing.

Lothur moved again after that failure, now traveling north, following the border of that state with the Ancestral Region.

...

Three more days passed...

While Lothur was investigating the area further west of the Petha Empire, his women were doing very well in Linn Province.

Almost all of Lothur's women had advanced in levels in the last few days, reaching the 4th stage in at least one of their cultivations.

All of them were at level 19 of body cultivation right now, while only Rebecca was at level 18 of soul cultivation.

Also, Elke was at the peak of level 19 soul cultivation and, in a few days, could reach level 20!

With the resources left by Lothur for them to cultivate, but also the great advantage they had by having bodies very resistant to training, they could train much more than others. Not only that, their training always yielded results, as their abilities and potential were unbalanced.

In general, a cultivator would have as a limiter their body. To become stronger, they had to raise either their spiritual understanding or their stamina to train harder.

But when one had a body much stronger than all the other characteristics of oneself, then training became easy, and it was a mere job of trying to raise their other characteristics to the same level as their body.

Precisely because of their Constitutions, these four women were advancing smoothly, still far behind where Lothur had left their bodies when he left.

But they were fast approaching the day when they would have more or less similar physical attributes.

In the meantime, they led the forces of the province, in particular the Ritter Motor Company.

After the last few days since Elke and Annaliese's breakthrough, when they had absorbed their new Soul Bones, much had happened locally.

Yet another Ritter Motor Company factory had been completed and started operating. At the same time, the factory stores and driving schools in the six cities around the empire had also been completed.

They had not yet opened their doors, as there was still work to be done internally in those cities, but also, the roads were far from reaching the level needed for cars to be delivered there.

But with a new plant, the number of vehicles delivered per day in Peters City had increased once again.

With that, another 3,000 vehicles had been delivered in the last few days since Elke's breakthrough to level 19, generating over 2 million gold coins of profit in just a few days.

But things were improving frantic in Peters City, and tomorrow, another new factory would start its operations.

With already more than 500 kilometers of roads in the province, all the major cities in the area were now connected to Peters City.

With them, toll service came into operation, along with the start of bus routes and intercity transportation service.

...

In Peters City, Annaliese and Elke were still in seclusion to raise their soul cultivations.

Rebecca was also focused on improving her strength at the Ritter family headquarters, as she was the weakest of the Lothur women.

In the midst of this, Viktoria was the only one who was dealing with the partners of her family's company.

Of all of them, her advancement had been the least ridiculous, as she had the best talent and the strongest Soul force without considering the ridiculous advancements of Elke and Annaliese. So when she became a Saint days ago, many people already expected it to happen.

Since then, she had continued to operate the Ritter Motor Company, trying to give her harem sisters space to grow and strengthen themselves with the crystals she had been supplying them with.

Just at this moment, she was at the Ritter Motor Company headquarters in downtown Peters City, where several of the partners from outside the empire were there for talks.

In that business room on the top floor of the headquarters, an Origin Saint asked Viktoria. "Where are the other ladies? I heard that even though they are not Lothur Ritter's actual wives, they have the same rights as you..."

Viktoria looked at the person she knew who had been trying to influence the company's partners not to side with her and said, "They are in seclusion. The company has great potential, so the dangers ahead will be challenging.

To prepare us for potential problems, they are focused on raising their cultivation forces."

"Is that so? I understand the ladies' desire to become stronger. It is commendable. But the company comes first. If they're not willing to focus on the company, they should let other people take up their duties." This person said. "This cannot harm us, partners."

"Oh?" Viktoria made a dismissive expression. "Mr. Gale, the company has made a profit of 4 million gold coins in the last month. And with each passing week, the volume of our profits increases.

Do you think this is bad? By the company's estimates, we will pay 140,000 gold coins for each fraction of the company in a few weeks.

If that figure holds for the next year, that means we will pay about 300,000 gold coins a year for every 1% of the company.

That's without considering the new factories' effects on our bottom line. Do you really think the company has been mismanaged?"
