Death… And Me Chapter 1580 The Upgrades

Chapter 1580 The Upgrades

When Roan arrived at the alchemy workshop, he noticed a new box placed near one of the corners. As he got closer to it, he went ahead and read the name written on it. "Recovery box?"

After that, Roan opened the box, but it was basically empty. "Sister Orb, did the upgrade fail?"

[Of course not! The upgrade worked as it should have.]

"Then, what is this recovery box?" Roan asked, confused.

[Hehehe! Lo and behold! The recovery box will give you a 50-50 chance of not losing any materials when you fail your concoctions! If you fail your concoction and the perk activates, this box will be filled with all the items used in that concoction. Amazing, right?!]

Roan had to admit it was definitely useful. "I don't know the trick behind this, but I'm quite happy with this upgrade. This is the ultimate item for the times I need to train new pill formulas." Roan was very good at concocting. That was true. However, he was far, far from being flawless. When he tried new pills, especially difficult ones, he would fail many more times than succeed.

Roan then turned around to leave, saying, "Well, the upgrade is good, but I guess there's nothing for me to do here now. I'll check it next time when I start using World Essence with my pills."

He then went to the Circuitry Formations' Repository, where Rean and Havek seemed to have isolated themselves. "You two. You can play with your formations another time. We need to think about the people, demon beasts, and spirits we plan to take in."

Rean looked at Roan and asked, "Already? What do you plan to do?"

Roan then told Rean about the army he planned to build.

Naturally, that took Rean and Havek by surprise. "That's quite the ambitious goal."

"We have a lot of free time with Destiny Avoidance Mode being on," Roan said in response. "We can use some of it to carefully select the members that'll join our side."

Rean pondered over it for a bit before saying, "In that case, we might as well build a new sect once again. If we tell others that what they're joining is a new sect, then they'll take it more seriously. Both you and I are at the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm, which is already the realm for a lot of small sect leaders."

Roan nodded in response. "That works. In that case, let's head out and check the city for materials to start building the sect in the Dimensional Realm as well. Remember, this sect won't only benefit me but you two as well. After all, you'll be able to ask the disciples to do the work you usually wouldn't have time to do. Since you two will spend a lot of time with these new formations, that will definitely come in handy."

Havek agreed with Roan straight away. "He's right. The sect I took charge of back in the Upside Down World was really useful. Most of the materials I needed were procured by the members there. We might lose some time taking care of everything at the start, but the prospects in the long run will make it worth it."

With that said, Rean and Roan exited the Dimensional Realm with Havek before they went to the city.

Roan also took the chance to go check on Luan. After all, he had set many tasks for Luan to complete to gain experience. Although this continent wasn't Treavin, that didn't mean everyone was nice. In fact, he had already spent quite a few days running around.

During those days, Luan got fooled, hunted, and betrayed, as all kinds of misfortunes befell the boy. Of course, the twins had specifically picked tasks where such things would most likely happen. But at the same time, it didn't mean everyone was like that. Luan was able to make a few real friends as well.

Luan came from Treavin, so he knew what it felt like to be poor. The friends he ended up making were people pretty much in the same situation he was in before. Had no parents, relied on robbery, things like that. Of course, compared to the cities in Treavin, the number of kids Luan found in this kind of situation wasn't even a hundredth of what one could find back there. In any case, he formed a small group with the few kids he could find so that they could work on Roan's tasks together. It's just that other than Luan, everyone else in his group were kids in the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Realm.

Roan, of course, watched as all of that happened. Having others to take care of would also help with Luan's mental development. He didn't intervene at all and kept a very far distance from Luan. That way, Luan's eyes wouldn't be able to detect him. Since Roan's cultivation was much higher, Luan's group also couldn't feel his Divine Sense.

Eventually, Luan finished the tasks Roan asked for and returned to the meeting point. "Dad, I got all the things you asked."

Roan already knew that but received them anyway. "Good. Prepare to depart. We were just waiting for you to finish the a.s.signments we gave you before we teleport to the next city."

"We're leaving already?!" Luan was taken aback. He didn't bring the kids he got acquainted with to meet Roan. From the looks of it, he didn't want to leave them behind. "Can't we stay for a while longer? I'm helping some kids in the city at the moment."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he asked, "You do know they most likely stuck to you because of your strength and your wealth, right?"

Luan was still young, but he had lived in Treavin before, so he replied, "Yes... but still, I can't just let them go. They remind me of the time I was alone before meeting you, dad."

Rean then came out after hearing that and suggested, "Well, why don't we start with these kids, Roan? It's just four or five, right? It'll be a good thing if we can build their loyalty from an early age."

Luan was confused by Rean's words. After all, he still didn't know what happened to the Dimensional Realm.
