Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1210: Little Negotiations



After the negotiations with my mom were done, the robots immediately started working. The contract did say she would be paying upfront a part of the payment, although it was rather ambiguous how much she would pay upfront.

And although she had ready a big amount of ores to pay the robots, which she did, she told me she wanted to at least pay them 30% upfront. And yes, the robots actually wanted all the payment on raw ores, any ore, as long as they were ten tons of it. Mixed ores I suppose.

That's why my mother just offered me yet another contract, to me of course.

"Wait, huh?"

"This is a contract to buy you the required amount of ores we need."

"Wait mom, but I don't know if there are enough down there yet!"

"We can go check! If there are, then you can sign the contract."

"Eeeh.. Okay then." I shrugged. "But you're being a bit pushy about this, you know?"

"Haha, sorry, sorry." She giggled. "I'll be paying you at least. I am not shameless enough to just ask you to give them off for free just because we're family. Your grandfather and I will be paying the ores we'll buy from you."

"Ugh, okay, got it." I nodded. "Anyways, let's go check on the fifth floor then."

We moved to the fifth floor after seeing the robots beginning to work happily. I guess that's what they love to do, and my mother knows that. She also knows they're golems that don't get tired and can work infinitely so she is giving them tons of work they don't mind at all.

I don't know if this would be called exploitation or not, because the robots are very different than any living being out there, are they even alive? Even Sphynxiette's race gets tired after doing a lot, and they need to absorb sunlight to keep themselves strong, and also eat a lot of ores.

But these robots just need some oil and electricity, and they can go on forever. So I suppose they are so bored they would gladly do abusive jobs, which for them would be even more fun to have.

Wait, electricity?

With that new Skill I got from evolving Crafting; can't I make some sources that could produce electricity? Maybe if I use it to enchant or evolve something into a Divine Thunder Armament.

Wait, can't I also transform the robots themselves? Maybe.

Wait! Can't I do that with Nephilim? She's also like... a bit like them, right?

Hmmm, I'll see what I can do with that later.

For now.

"Here we are, pretty beautiful, isn't it?" I showed my family the snowy landscape.

The peaks in the distance, and all the other different types of creatures and monsters roaming the lands. Giant flying ice wyverns and even frost fairy monsters in the distance.

"T-This is breathtaking." My father said. "It kind of reminds me of where my family lives. I guess there's not snow all year round, but the winters were always particularly harsh like this."

"Is that so?" I wondered. "I would love to hear more of that dad, you've never really opened too much about the family..."

"A-Ah, sorry. I just feel a bit embarrassed to talk about that. And in all these years, there wasn't much of a need I suppose." My father sighed. "But yeah... I guess we can eventually visit that place, once we're done with your classes with the Blue Mountain Witch, remember that I'll be accompanying you, so you're not really going alone. Also Celeste and Celica are coming with you too."

"Oh, right, yeah." I nodded. "Fine, will I stay with her for just a year then?"

"Yeah, probably a year and a half maybe." My mother said. "Depending how quick you learn and everything."

"And what about Aquarina?" I asked my mother about my girlfriend's training.

"Oh, that one I am not so sure." My mother said. "It happened to us too, when everyone was younger but needed to get stronger, we spent two years separated, everyone went their separate ways. I am not so sure, but her mother spent over a year there, maybe the whole two years. She said it was a very harsh trial."

"O-Oh..." I felt slightly sad. "I-I see..."

"Taking into consideration that Aquarina's affinity for her mother's elements hasn't awakened fully, it might take her... Even longer." My mother said.

"Aahh... I hope not..." I sighed.

"Hmm, haha! Don't worry!" Aquarina smiled. "I'll get it done within a year and then go visit you when you're with the witch!" She winked at me.

"Don't make promises like that! I don't want you to overexert yourself, okay? It's not like I am going to die or something, so please take your time doing all of that, okay?" I told her.

"Sylphy..." She muttered, looking a bit sad but also moved. "Okay... Fine."

"Good, anyways." I said. "Let's go to the mines! There's a lot to see down there."

As we walked through the flower gardens, I unpacked some snacks, mostly small cream puffs and tea for everyone as we made our way there. Aquarina quickly cheered up after I gave her a big burger with three patties and extra cheese I had prepared for her.

"Hmm, I like this one! What's the meat?" she asked.

"The Swamp Drake's leg meat, I minced it into patties." I told her. "Also with goat cheese and your favorite spicy barbeque sauce."

"You know me too well already, Sylphyyy-" Aquarina giggled, quickly kissing my cheek after swallowing another bite. "You're the perfect wife already~"

"H-Hey, not in front of my parents!" I felt a bit embarrassed as I saw my parents smile gently as they saw Aquarina pampering me.

Once we reached a large cave entrance, we walked down slowly, being greeted by a huge underground forest of giant, glowing blue colored mushrooms.

There were all kinds of little critters roaming everywhere, but we ignored them as we jumped from mushroom cap to the other.

Until we finally reached it, a huge section of labyrinthian caves, where all walls were covered

to the brim with all kinds of basic ores and spirit crystals...

"We're here... Wow, a lot has grown already." I gasped.

"I-It sure has!" My mother said. "Impressive, alright, sign that contract Sylphy, I believe this is more than enough!"
