Adrian continued scribbling through the paper, changing its type from a consumable to equipnt. He tried to erase the side-effect, but perhaps because a blue page wasn’t enough, the pesky side-effect would always return.
Adrian sighed. "No use."
"Is it not good enough?" Rayen asked, still expectant.
"It’s a good idea, but this blue page..."
Sigh.
"Should we just think of other things?"
Adrian didn’t respond right away. It took him a while before coming to a decision.
"I still think it’s a good suggestion," Adrian said. "Personally, I don’t want to abandon it."
"Then what do we do?" Yeo Haru also asked. He also liked Rayen’s concept.
"Let think for a mont," Adrian responded, stroking his chin once to think.
A few monts later, his eyes glead before taking up the pen again.
"Instead of not feeling fatigue, how about sothing that would make our recovery faster?"
Rayen and the other two’s eyes glead in excitent. They nodded as Adrian wrote. Finally, the newly revised idea was presented before them.
[Resting Bracelet: "Are you tired? Why not rest for a mont?"
Sleep deprived, a certain cactus thought how he could make an equipnt based on his favorite energy drink. Then, a wisteria wrote the page for the cactus because the cactus has no imagination.
Effects: The user that wears this will recover their physical and ntal energy faster.]
Aside from the description that seed to provoke Rayen’s patience, the contents were simple. The effects that Adrian had written initially weren’t even adjusted.
The three sighed in relief. It was good news that there wasn’t a side-effect added this ti.
Although it seed so similar to the Croissant and Granola Bar they could find in the cafeteria, those two consumables only healed the physical fatigue.
Besides, those two still cost MC while this equipnt was only given for free. Croissants cost 10 MC each and the Granola Bars cost 100 MC each. Although they seed cheap, once accumulated, it would still be a large expenditure.
More so with the instant recovery Revitalizing Drink. It costs 1,000 MC! If Rayen calculated his expenses just with the Revitalizing Drink alone, he’d probably quit indulging with it.
Making this bracelet was worth it. The others could also borrow it among themselves.
"Wait, let add sothing more," Adrian said.
Instead of a vague description of "faster energy recovery," he included so conditions that made it clearer.
[Effect: Faster Energy Recovery - If the user sits down while wearing the Resting Bracelet, the recovery rate will be 100% faster than normal. Upon sleeping, the recovery rate will increase to 500%.]
Even after adjusting it, the book page didn’t light up. Seemingly not satisfied, Adrian once again tweaked the numbers until the book paged adjusted it back.
’So 200% and 500% was the limit.’
"Okay. This would do," Adrian said, finally satisfied.
After that, he signed the book page to confirm its completion.
’Two down!’
They still have 27 minutes left.
At the sa ti as the bracelet was finished, Iris also inford them that her work was done. The four gathered behind Iris to see what she had written.
[I Think I’ve Pollen: "Wow, aren’t you blooming? I think I’ve fallen in love..."
It’s not literal pollen. Just a face powder for the seven flowers (minus two).
Type: Costics
Effects: Once applied, add 1 level to Visual until washed off. (If not washed off after eight hours, the user will experience acne break out.)]
Rayen wanted to laugh at the book page na.
’What’s with the dad joke? But an increase in visual stat with just a powder?! I thought at most, we would just get a visual charm increase.’
Considering this was a blue page, it was already OP for its tier. And the side-effects were bearable, as long as they were cautious and paid attention to ti.
"Nice." Adrian nodded with a wistful smile.
With that, they now have three total pages. Only Ayumi and Xu Jiji were left writing on the table. Rayen decided to take a look at Xu Jiji, followed by Iris behind him.
The little kid’s face, though...
"What’s wrong?" Iris asked, concerned.
Xu Jiji’s face looked constipated as he stared hard at the still blank brown parchnt. The others had already finished creating three pages, but Xu Jiji hadn’t written even a single line. Yeo Haru also noticed Xu Jiji’s struggle and approached him.
"Hey, kiddo. Want to help you?" Yeo Haru asked.
Hearing the word "kiddo," Xu Jiji glared in his direction. "I’m not a kid."
"Yes, yes. But let do it," Yeo Haru said.
After hesitating for a mont, Xu Jiji eventually handed him the pen and made space for him. Yeo Haru wasn’t able to react for a mont.
Rayen snickered inwardly.
’Unlike you, Jiji’s more mature.’
Xu Jiji knew they were pressed for ti, so he didn’t insist on writing it himself. Rayen also let Yeo Haru be. Even if this guy lacked imagination, it was just a green book page. After already acquiring three useful items, they could afford to let a re green page go to waste.
Regaining his smile, Yeo Haru started scribbling on the parchnt paper. Rayen didn’t pay him any more attention and instead looked toward Xu Jiji who had expended considerable energy despite not being able to write anything down.
Seeing Xu Jiji’s overly-fatigued face, Rayen approached Adrian who was observing Ayumi. "Hey, lend Xu Jiji the bracelet."
"Huh?" Adrian asked absent-mindedly, but soon realized.
He gave Rayen the bracelet, who also handed it to Xu Jiji. "Here. Wear this and try to nap. We’ll wake you up once it’s over."
"Eh?"
Xu Jiji observed the blue beaded bracelet that Rayen gave him, a cool sensation imdiately surged inside him, slowly dribbling away his accumulated fatigue. After he realized what it was for, he leaned his head down to the table to snore away. The little kid eventually fell asleep.
’How can he sleep so fast?’
Rayen also sat to preserve his remaining energy. This challenge was too ntally draining. How could Adrian even stay energetic despite creating two book pages?
Right now, the usually lazy writer was suggesting sothing to Ayumi, who only nodded without any expression.
Sigh.
’Perks of being a writer, I guess.’
A few more minutes later — just five minutes away from the one hour ti limit, Rayen heard Yeo Haru chuckle beside him. When he turned his head toward Yeo Haru, the petty dancer was laughing to himself while eyeing the book page in his hand.
"What are you laughing about?" Rayen asked.
"Hehe. I ca up with sothing good."
Raising his brows, he looked at the contents on Yeo Haru’s page.
