Chapter 58: Jobs Done

The Flower of Eve was glowing just like the time when I first saw it.

Both of them were silenced as their simply gaze upon the rare flower that I had been able to get in the dangerous field. Which was kinda easy actually... None of the monsters there proved to be a real threat.

I do know that I had a difficult time against the Rozett but all of that was because of Miya. If she wasn't being controlled, for sure I could just kill that Rozett in a blink of an eye. As I do have a 1% advantage over the Rozett, in terms of stats that is.

Well... I suppose it might be just that I am way too powerful because of my stats scaling skill. If not for that, I wouldn't think that I would be able to fight any of the monsters there. So I better be grateful to God that grants me the stats scaling skill.

I am aware that 1% isn't much but at least I know I still had a chance to win against any type of monster despite it was strong. But it might change in the future as in most of the light novels that I had read, the MC skill would get an upgrade at some point in the story.

So the same might happen with me as well... I just need to be patient and keep leveling up, for sure I will unlock something.

...

"Is this really the Flower of Eve?" Tim asked me.

"Yes, it's indeed the flower that you had requested me to pick up in that field... it even matches the picture given inside the book."

"I thought I was doomed but with this..." Tim paused as he then looked at me, "I am really grateful to you, Yei. You really saved me this time."

"Might I ask something? What's the sickness of the Earl's son?"

"Well I suppose to not tell anyone about it but because you had brought the flower, I guess there's nothing wrong with telling you..."

With that, Tim begins to explain why he needed the Flower of Eve in the first place. Of course, I already knew that it was for the son of the Earl but I don't know what it was for. But after listening to what Tim had said, I burst into laughter immediately...

"What!? Erectile dysfunction... that's it." I said while still laughing.

"Please don't say it out loud even if you don't like the earl son, you do know that both of us could get our head chopped if this matter goes out in public," Tim said.

To think that the Flower of Eve was a cure for that kind of thing... I thought the earl son has a rather serious illness that could risk one life... I never thought that it was Erectile dysfunction at all but again, who has thought of that.

Even all of the light novels or anime that I watch, never mention sickness like this at all. As it was all about curses and some rare disease. So it was rather unexpected when I heard that the earl son sickness was that thing.

But of course, as I used to be a man... I do understand how devastating it was for us to have that kind of disease.

"That is a good punishment for him to be honest..." Elina paused for a bit, "If the earl isn't threatening to close down your business Tim. I know for sure that you wouldn't help the earl as well."

"Surely... who would want to help that bastard." Tim replied.

"Could you care to explain who you're calling a bastard here?"

"Oh... I am sorry, you're new here so you might not know about this stuff. We're talking about the earl's son" Tim said towards me. "The earl's son was a womanizer... the reason he got that disease in the first place was that someone had put special concoction onto his stuff."

Really!? There's a potion for that... this world was more dangerous than I thought it would be all of the sudden. That kind of potion never existed in the game before. It does make me curious as well about who's the one that made that kind of potion, surely that person is a pretty skilled alchemist.

"I see... I kinda understand why you're calling him a bastard then."

"Let's not talk about that, there's still a lot of people waiting in line so let's wrap this up." Tim looked at me and said, "How much do you want me to pay you for your service?"

He's asking me? That's rather an odd way to do things, as I expected that he had already set how much gold he would be giving me. But I suppose this is a good opportunity for me, I can basically ask how much I want...

"100 gold coins? How's that..."

I simply said that, don't know whether Tim would give me that amount of money. As I believe that's a little too high for the job that I had done.

"A 100 is a bit too much, how about 75 gold? Is that good for you or you still wanted-"

I probably could survive with 75 gold only, the adventurer exam would only cost 50 gold. I doubt that clothes would be that expensive, surely I could find a cheap one in the marketplace.

My stay in the inn also wouldn't cost that much and the food there was relatively cheap as well. Besides, I am sure I would pass the adventurer exam with one try.

"No, I take it... 75 gold is enough for me."

With that, Tim then gave me a pouch that had the gold coins inside of it. We both shake hands as a sign of the job is done. I wished Tim well and told him to be careful when making the cure for the earl's son as there's only one Flower of Eve in the field.

After that, both Elina and I walk out of Tim's place...

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
ShovelingKnight

The author probably would lock the chapters in chapter 61. So with that, the author advises you guys to read it before it was lock. As it would be a waste for you guys to use the fast pass.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
