Chapter 374 Preparation For The Miniature Vehicle
“Probably,” Viktoria said, without telling any more details that would only bring trouble into their lives.
‘Two Transcendents… Could it be a coincidence? Why were people like that facing each other around here?’ He thought about it, feeling that he should get stronger as soon as possible.
With that in mind, he keeps the hibernation pill to consume the next day when he goes to the Frost family estate with Viktoria to receive his awards. And with that, he took no time to sit in a meditative position near where his wife was earlier and ingested the second pill.
As he touched the bottle of that pill, he once again saw the characteristics of that resource.
[Body Transformation Pill] [Classification: Bronze]
[Purity: 42%] [1 unit]
[Effect: can permanently raise one of the physical attributes between 10% and 20%.]
He then had the system show him his status before putting that pill with two colored stripes in its middle into his mouth.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: Life Devourer]
[Cultivation: level 9]
[STR: 30.2] [CON: 100.2] [DEX: 26.4] [AGI: 34.6]
[INT: 70] [PER: 95] [WIL: 79.2]
[EVF: 623]
Seeing this, he closed his eyes and focused on the medicinal action of that pill, beginning to do what was necessary to absorb all that he could from it.
As he went through the experience, Viktoria watched him for a while, not feeling greedy for Lothur’s pills.
She had already tried pills of the same type and achieved significant improvements. So she was already resistant to the two pills her husband had bought today.
But unlike many noblemen who received investments from their families and ended up ‘wasting’ them, Viktoria had successfully absorbed the medicinal effects of everything she had ever ingested.
The purity of spiritual products was not the only relevant factor in this! Something like talent could also influence the absorption of resources!
What did this mean? Well, people of superior talent were likelier to experience the positive effects of a pill with 10% purity than someone with inferior talent.
Because of this, Viktoria reached level 12 at less than 20 years of age, something hard to find around the empire!
So she did not watch Lothur because of that item, but rather because she wanted to see if she would feel or even see anything during his improvement.
Lothur’s abilities were very mysterious, which made her curiosity jump every time she saw him in situations like the present one.
So knowing that such a pill was the kind that took effect quickly, she did not even sit down to watch him, only to soon begin to see him trembling while making a strange expression.
[Medicinal effect detected in the host’s neurons…] The system showed it to him, but being with his eyes closed, Lothur saw nothing.
[Due to the evolution of the host’s neurons, the Dexterity attribute will receive a bonus…]
[Bonus of 17% being distributed…]

[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: Life Devourer]
[Cultivation: level 9]

Viktoria saw the whole process of Lothur’s improvement but unfortunately could not feel anything, only having seen him suffering from the pill changing his body.
She then saw him smiling as he opened his eyes and asked him. “Well? You must have succeeded, right?”
Lothur felt a little strange as he came out of his meditative state. Still, he soon regained control over his body, quickly beginning to feel his hand skills evolving.
‘It seems my synapses have become faster, and the main effect was an increase in my Dexterity.’ He pondered as he noticed the sensation of moving his body.
Considering this, he soon realized that he would have an easier time in some of his professions that depended on his skill with his hands and smiled in satisfaction.
‘Very good!’ He looked at his wife and felt his ‘appetite’ come up strongly.
Viktoria did not take long to understand what was on her husband’s mind and soon got into his game.
…
The next day, Lothur had woken up full of energy, even though he had trained with his wife the night before, read some books, and even cared for her physical needs.
But this was not surprising. After all, Lothur had one crucial thing to do today… Visit Frederik’s store and receive the parts for the miniature vehicle he had ordered earlier!
So after taking care of his wife in the morning and eating breakfast, Lothur set off towards the academy, eager to fulfill his daily responsibilities and head off to that store.
He had elevated his skills the night before, so this meant that his time as the developer of this world’s first independent animal power vehicle would be easier.
On the other hand, he had already finished all the planning of what to do to assemble and make that miniature work. Hence, all that remained was for Frederik to hand him the materials. 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
Therefore, he soon went on with his routine at the Academy Morning Star, helping Annaliese and Elke in the midst of his studies in the library of Sector-2.
Due to his moments with Elke, this woman managed to advance to level 7 this morning, something happy for all of them since he soon intended to go out on missions again.
But besides this, in the afternoon, he met with Rebecca. He practiced his poison art a little, receiving some advice from her and an invitation from Elisabeth.
He also extended an invitation to this woman and their mistress, talking about the project he would present in the next few days.
With this done, Lothur set off with Annaliese towards Frederik’s store, hoping that the young man had not been delayed and that he could finally begin his work.
…
After walking for some time, Lothur and Annaliese arrived at Frederik’s small store, where they had passed weeks before.
But before they even reached the entrance there, a dark-skinned young man they already knew was standing at the entrance there, looking from one side of the street to the other.
“Johann?” Lothur asked with a smile on his face, seeing that this young man he had invited to do business with him during the test for 1-star formations masters had not forgotten.
Johann looked at Lothur and was also pleased that such a fellow had not forgotten and promptly walked over to this local celebrity. “Lothur, you were hiding your skills a lot earlier. I did not think you were so good.” He said in a sincere but also humorous tone.
“You haven’t seen anything yet, hehe.” The silver-haired young man was not modest as he greeted that fellow he wanted to recruit.
So, while they were chatting casually, the three entered Frederik’s small store. With that, it was not long before they found that peculiar young man sitting in front of a series of refined pieces of something incomprehensible.
Lothur saw that and was the only one to understand that these were the parts of his vehicle. “Frederik, I am here for what we arranged earlier…”
