Although Dark greatly desired [ Ⅲ], after careful calculation, he found that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to gather the 10 points of [Greed] needed to craft [Greed Ⅲ] by this month.

So he decided to first collect [] to more than 7 points before moving on to collect [Greed].

As such, he had made eight extractions this month, leaving only two more chances remaining.

But in truth, Dark’s index was falling into short supply.

There were only 96 points of [Pride] left, while [Greed] had long since dropped to the passing line of 95—and even this was only possible because his [Greed] had increased by a full 3 points during this period of time!

For the remaining two days, if he wanted to continue extracting [Greed], he had to find a way to increase his [Greed] index.

But sometimes, the more one strived to do something, the harder it was to accomplish.

As his mastery of [deadly sin] grew more profound, the occurrence of it increasing due to stimulation became less frequent.

Dark couldn't help but sink into thought.

What kind of greed did he currently need?

Greed for money and wealth?

As if.

Then, greed for fame and power?

Ha ha.

After discovering a way to use his [deadly sin], even his greed for [] was gradually fading away.

Occasionally, when he looked at his babies, he would even have the thought that [].

As for the greed for knowledge—this actually required some sort of incentive.

After mulling over it, ultimately, the greed to win was the easiest to arouse!

"Then, let's aim to win the ."

……

March 9, Friday afternoon.

Dark made another trip to .

This afternoon, there were quite a lot of things he needed to buy.

In addition to the eighteen different attribute materials needed to craft the eighteen-sided dice, he also needed to purchase the materials for making chocolate.

He hadn't forgotten about the upcoming on the 14th of March.

It happened that he still had half a bottle of left, which could be used to make wine-filled chocolates.

It was just that there were quite a lot of people whose gifts he needed to reciprocate. To count it carefully, there were at least five people and ten .

This meant that he needed a whooping fifteen portions!

Used sparingly, the Elven Wine could be divided into five portions.

As for the ten portions for the magical spirits, perhaps using juice to make milk chocolate would be a good idea.

Anyway, when the time came, he would need the magical spirits who had had an experience in doing it to teach him.

When he recalled how his magical spirits actually knew how to give him chocolates on Valentine's Day on February 14, his mood became even better.

"I keep feeling like something good will happen today."

With this thought in mind, Dark squeezed the time to forge ahead into before shopping for materials.

Today, Miss Cat was as modest and refined as ever, looking even more gentle amidst the surrounding of cats.

"Good afternoon, Miss Cat," Dark proactively greeted.

Putting down the cat grass she was holding in her arms, Miss Cat stood up and replied, "Good afternoon, Demon. I thought you'd come tomorrow."

Dark: "I happen to have some free time."

Miss Cat smiled and said: "Alright then, have you brought the letter of approval?"

Dark turned to put down his backpack, then took out the letter of approval and handed it over.

"Let me see." Miss Cat took and opened the letter, carefully checking it. "It's signed by… Lily Laplace. Is she your arithmetic professor?"

Dark nodded and answered, "Yes. Can you take me to see that little lion?"

"Of course." Miss Cat folded the letter and stuffed it into her pocket before turning around to walk towards her secret room.

Dark didn’t follow her this time round, petting the cats as he waited outside.

Not long after, Miss Cat walked out carrying an iron cage covered in coarse cloth.

The shaking of the iron cage was startlingly severe, with low growls continuously rumbling from inside.

Seeing Dark looking over, Miss Cat put on a bashful smile. "It's a bit fierce."

Dark let out a dry laugh, at last realizing the gravity of its so-called "bad habit of biting people".

This was probably the kind to "bite anyone it saw", right?

If he were to keep it in his room, wouldn't it just tear everything down in the blink of an eye?

This was something on a completely different level from huskies, collies, or other hyperactive dogs.

"Will it really be alright to actually use this lion grass to cultivate a deadly sin fruit?"

Dark couldn't help feeling secretly worried.

"If I craft a magical spirit with the deadly sin fruit grown from it and end up with something like or Scumon..."

……

Pulling himself together, Dark stooped down and lifted off the coarse cloth covering the iron cage.

The lion grass locked in the cage wasn't big in size. It had no mane and looked like a lion cub.

When light shone into the cage and the figure of a stranger appeared in its line of sight, the lion grass immediately bared its teeth and frenziedly snarled at Dark.

It looked just like a ferocious rabid dog.

"Be careful, don't get bitten," Miss Cat hurriedly warned him.

Dark reckoned that he might really get rabies if he were to get bitten, so he promptly nodded and heightened his caution.

After observing for a while, he finally took out a [Card of Happiness] and used it on the lion grass.

But the lion grass that had been struck by the [Card of Happiness] didn't calm down like he expected it would, making him fall silent.

Miss Cat explained, "It's no use, its problem lies in the synapses of the brain. It doesn't have emotional receptors, so the emotion card won't have any effect on it."

"This is going to be difficult."

Dark contemplated and said, "If this problem cannot be solved, it's impossible for me to keep a pet that will bite anyone it sees at my place. Is it really so difficult to improve on this lion grass?"

Miss Cat shrugged. "The main reason is that we can't find the breakthrough point. You know, creative technology requires a steady stream of inspiration to keep it going."

"Then I..."

Dark couldn't help but frown.

In fact, he had thought about bringing back the lion grass just for a one-time use before returning it to the factory.

But if it was sent to the factory for fixing after he used it to cultivate deadly sin fruit, there was a very high probability that his secret would be exposed.

This choice was obviously unwise.

But if he immediately discarded it after use...

He wasn't the kind of person to irresponsibly abandon something after exploiting it.

"Let's try again."

Dark took a deep breath, and then took out another card—[Pride I].

If [Pride I] still failed to suppress the ferocious nature of this lion grass, then he could only give it up for the time being.

"In the name of Dark Demon, magic summon!"

Along with the completion of the Normal Summoning Spell, a dark golden ball of light flew out from the card and plunged into the lion grass' head.

At that instant, the lion grass who was grabbing the iron cage while rabidly growling abruptly stopped its act.

It seemed to be completely frozen still, and only after a good while did it roll its eyes and let out a low, suppressed growl.

Although it hadn't stopped growling, it was obviously suppressing it.

The "hissing" sound that leaked out from the sides of its mouth was still acceptable.

"Is this also an emotion card?" Miss Cat couldn't help asking in shock.

"Pretty much," Dark casually replied, the weight in his heart gradually easing. "How many points does this lion grass cost?"

Miss Cat thought for a moment and gestured a number: "88."

A pot of ordinary cat grass cost fifty points, so it was reasonable for this pot of lion grass to cost eighty-eight points.

But Miss Cat immediately added, "Same as the cow grass, it also requires a special potion of Cat Juice for its feed, 30 points a bottle. Of course, we'll also provide after-sales service and a three-month warranty..."
