"What you ask is not impossible, but currently, it's not possible to get the recipe for Mimirconium ore as you do not have the required privilege to do so," Luna answered dejectedly.
I was surprised to see Luna and Anna not mock
after hearing
claim that if I had its production recipe, I could modify the mimirconium ore. The mimirconium ore's current state is achieved after many seasoned researchers optimized it with their best capabilities.
Blatantly saying that I could achieve sothing which many veteran researchers and academicians couldn't achieve would be considered arrogant on my part, but Luna and Anna did not seem to look at it that way. Them agreeing to the idea of
getting the recipe was already proof enough that they believed I could achieve what I promised.
I knew I wasn't boasting because I had soul pupils to solve the mystery of objects based on their soul pathways and arrangent, sothing like modifying a recipe of a racked tal was not a big deal for . But Anna and Luna did not know this yet. Instead of mocking my boastful claims, they chose to support it and help to their best capabilities. I do not know what they are thinking, but It is better this way, I could achieve my goals faster.
"What my privilege level is not enough? I created the silver milk powder, giving mortals a way of supplenting their active soul control and awakening into a card apprentice. My achievents in society are trendous enough already. Shouldn't my privilege level be high enough to get a recipe for an artificial ore?" I couldn't help but ask as I thought after I made silver milk powder public, my social standing should have risen in ranks. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Privilege level is sothing that one can get only by contributing to society. Low-level privilege is easy to reach by amassing enough fortune and creating many jobs for the mortals and low-level card apprentices. Whiteburn family, Bright Family, Elliot's company, and Daina's Fine gold are the best examples of low-level privilege.
But at higher levels, fortune and small social work are no longer enough to raise your privilege level. To advance to the upper level, you need to earn high rits in Way beyond by killing the hostile forces or reclaiming the lost land from the supre being's forces. Military rits are only one of the ways there are other ways, too, like making discoveries and inventions. And my discovery of silver milk powder is the best example.
"About that, people are still debating whether silver milk powder is real or just a malicious rumor." Anna replied, scratching the back of her head, avoiding my eyes.
"What do you an by malicious rumors? Isn't the silver milk powder patent under my na proof enough? How can there be people still stupid enough to claim that silver milk powder is just a myth?" I risked my life and decided to file a patent in order to make my debut in this new world. But now you are saying more than half of the world is still not sure where soone like silver milk powder exists. You must be kidding , right?
"Hehe, about that…." Anna continued to avoid making eye contact with . Anna's actions could not be more suspicious.
"Tell , what did you do? Nope, what did your mother do? Is your family planning on double-crossing ?" The only reason more than half of the world would still be doubtful and debate over the existence of the silver milk powder and its capabilities even after seeing my patent is because the Heatsend family is up to sothing.
"Hold your horse. My Heatsend royal family has nothing to do with this. You can't just point fingers at not knowing what actually happened." I listened to Anna's words carefully. She defended her family but not her mother. This ant that it had sothing to do with her mother.
"What did your mother do? I swear to God if your mother double-crossed , I will not leave it at this." Except for making threats of repercussions for their betrayal, I regretted becoming complacent.
'Fock!' I should have sent a calamity daughter gem to submit my patent at the central region patent commission office in the capital city after the patent for silver milk powder was successfully filed in the southern region patent commission office.
That way, the Heatsend royal family could not flex their power to ddle with my affairs. The southern region was Heatsend Royal families domain, but in the central region, it was a different story. I should have known that they could easily limit my patent using their power in the southern region. I let my guard down because of the existence of the soul contract between Anna and .
The Soul contract only made sure that Anna would stand by her term for the patent of silver milk powder while protecting
and my friends and family. But the soul contract did not ntion anything about the Heatsend royal family deliberately controlling and manipulating the patent.
What I did not understand was what could the Heatsend family gain by making half of the world doubt the existence of the silver milk powder and its capability. No matter what, they had to pay my royalty out of the profits they made. So why go through all the trouble from surprising the hype of silver milk powder and making the world think it's just another scam?
Just because I could not think of a reason did not an that Anna's mother's invention for doing so was clean.
From what I know about business, when you have a product with 200% guaranteed success of making it big, you do not suppress the hype but fuel it. And attract potential investors and partners. What Anna's mother was doing right now was the total opposite of this. Why do this?
