As I scanned through the list, I was left speechless, unable to comprehend it. Much later, the words that burst from my mouth were a genuine lament.
“No, but, fuck, does this really make sense?”
How is it possible to spend 150 gold and not get a single 4-star or higher???
It’s not like I got a lot of 2-stars or 3-stars either.
I got one 2-star bow that I don’t even use. I got three 3-stars, but one is a potion, and another is a Spirit Herb.
Well. Since I’ve been forcibly imbued with the physique and knowledge to execute it till the later stages, I shouldn’t be weak.
However, if you ask whether I’d be stronger than now...that’s unlikely.
In the end, like with other Skills, I should prioritize combining them wisely.
“Thinking like this, the draws have been pretty good so far.”
There were no ceilings or pickups, yet only Skills that naturally fit the current combat style emerged.
Perhaps this too is the Goddess of Love exerting her power as usual.
“Alright. I’ll try this out the next time I enter the Labyrinth. First, I need to take the Spirit Herb.”
Thanks to stuffing it in my mouth, I found a rainbow-glimmering Magic Herb from the considerably reduced pile of Magic Herbs.
It’s much larger than a normal mana herb. It looks as fresh as if it were just plucked without drying.
“Sniff sniff.”
As I cautiously take a whiff, the refreshing scent is so clear it clears my head.
Overall, it feels like the Magic Herb has been condensed several tens or even hundreds of times. If I were to just eat it, it would probably taste that bitter...
“I’m glad I have the Gluttonous Stomach.”
No matter how bitter the medicine, once it enters the mouth, it should taste sweet.
It was so large that I couldn’t swallow it in one bite, so I cut it in half and put it in my mouth, releasing a cool scent. Amidst that, a sweetness arose...
“Mint chocolate?”
It was said that the Power would enhance and make everything taste delicious once in my mouth.
In other words, mint chocolate is officially delicious according to the God of Gluttony...!
Nodding in satisfaction, I briefly resumed rummaging through the pile of Magic Herbs.
Perhaps because I chewed and swallowed it directly, rather than storing it in my stomach. The effect of the radiant Magic Herb began to kick in.
My mana pool, which had expanded significantly upon acquiring a 3-star spell, noticeably grew, and although slight, the purity of my mana seems to have been refined.
The effect was palpable enough to feel like a true 3-star Spirit Herb.
At least now, using Explosive Flame won’t immediately put me into a mana-exhausted state, giving me some leeway.
“Next up is probably this.”
What I found this time was a small bottle containing a milky liquid. It must be a potion for enhancing aura.
Even though it’s the lowest grade, it carries two stars, indicating it’s quite a rare elixir.
It’ll be a pity that the lingering mint chocolate taste will go away, but as I gulp it down in one go, I taste coconut water.
“Not bad.”
It’s good for a palate cleanser.
As I nod my head, the effects kick in immediately since I swallowed it directly.
Something akin to my dantian heats up and swells.
However, it’s still just a 2-star. Being the lowest grade Enhancement Potion, the increase wasn’t significant.
Given how little aura I had to begin with, this much was a blessing.
Next up is the Advanced Healing Potion. But since there’s nothing hurting, I’ll just stash it on standby..
...It seems like I’ve stashed too many potions like this, but isn’t it a universal rule to save potions for emergencies, only to never use them in the end?
Still, there will surely be a time when potions will be really needed. Maybe not now, but certainly on the 6th or 7th Floor.
For now, I shoved it into my backpack and finally focused my mind on the information of the 1-star Power, the Sexy Wink.
With a sexy wink, one can attempt to charm anyone regardless of race.
Surprisingly, that’s it.
“Ah! Where on earth am I supposed to use this!”
At least the other Powers have some use, but no matter how I think about it, this beauty-related Power’s uses are too limited.
It’s not even that you can charm, but that you can attempt to charm.
Isn’t an attempt something you can do without Power???
Still, the amount of divine power increased a bit, and it became a bit purer. And being able to actively use eye contact when acting is nice, but...
“No matter how I think about it, it’s a bit sus.”
Am I actually being customized according to the Goddess of Love’s taste??
It was the moment when my long-standing question turned into certainty.
