Chapter 75: Chapter 1: Double the Joy! A Moonlight Witch’s Creation?

"A guaranteed buy-one-get-one-free deal?" Su Xuan stared at the Bond trait, his face filled with surprise.

’Isn’t this trait’s effect invincible?’

The Adventurers he recruited had identical trait Attributes, the only difference being their relationship with him.

If he had two Rosalines, wouldn’t his combat power instantly double?

And if there were two Ivshas... COUGH COUGH, that picture was too beautiful to even imagine.

Suddenly, Su Xuan realized a key piece of information. ’This special event mission doesn’t seem to conflict with the previous hidden mission?’

’In other words, I can participate in this special event mission while completing White Rose’s soul mission and get double the rewards?’

Time to take off!

’Five days left... I have to finish the missions as soon as possible and raise Ivsha and the others’ Levels.’ Su Xuan calculated in his head. Five days wasn’t a long time, but if he went all out, he should still have a chance to raise Ivsha and the others’ Levels to 20 or higher before the event began!

Su Xuan pondered for a moment and began to select missions suitable for Ivsha and Alice.

Since his strongest combatant, Rosaline, was currently absorbing Memory Fragments, he could have Ivsha and Alice take on some non-combat-focused E-Level missions first, such as collecting Moonlight Essence on Moonlight Mountain Peak or finding a lost Ruby Necklace. These were missions he could prioritize while Rosaline was unable to fight, and with Ivsha and Alice’s combat strength, they should be able to handle them easily.

’Let’s go to Moonlight Mountain Peak first and collect the Moonlight Essence.’

Su Xuan looked out the window. Night had fallen, and moonlight cascaded down like water, illuminating a tranquil and beautiful scene. This was the perfect time for the mission that required collecting Moonlight Essence.

However, the mission description clearly stated that it would consume a large amount of Magic Power, which made him a little worried about whether Ivsha and Alice had enough.

"Ivsha, Alice, we’re heading out for a mission." Su Xuan stood up from his seat and called out toward the Guild hall.

"Okay, Master~"

"Yes, Mr. Su Xuan~"

...

After a flash of white light, Su Xuan arrived at Moonlight Mountain Peak via the Teleportation Array.

The peak was illuminated by the bright moonlight, making it as bright as day. A beam of white light descended from the sky, as if a Fairy was about to descend to the mortal world, adding a touch of mystery to the scene.

Alice looked around and asked Su Xuan curiously, "Master, how are we supposed to collect this moonlight?"

Su Xuan smiled and explained, "With a special container to collect the Moonlight Essence, of course." As he spoke, he took out a Small Jade Bottle from his pocket.

The Small Jade Bottle was a subtle, elegant cyan, with an exquisite crescent moon pattern painted on its body, as if it were specially prepared for collecting Moonlight Essence.

Ivsha drew closer, her gaze attracted to the Small Jade Bottle in Su Xuan’s hand. She observed it carefully, then asked in confusion, "Mr. Su Xuan, are we supposed to collect the moonlight in this Small Jade Bottle?"

Su Xuan nodded. "Mhm, this is a tool from the Moon God Empire specifically for collecting moonlight."

"I’ve heard of the Moon God Empire, but I’ve never had the chance to go there myself." Ivsha’s curiosity about the Moon God Empire was piqued. "I also heard that the Moon God Empire is a kingdom founded on religious Faith, but it’s different from the Bright Church Court?"

Su Xuan nodded and continued, "That’s right. Compared to the Sun Sect Country, the Moon God Empire strictly keeps its Faith within the empire’s borders, not even allowing outsiders to believe in the Moon Goddess. The Sun Sect Country is the exact opposite; they spread the teachings of the God of Light to every corner of the world."

However, he was a little surprised. ’Are the Sun God and the God of Light actually the same deity? Or is there some other unknown secret that made the followers of the Sun Sect Country choose to embrace the God of Light? But anything related to the Gods seems far beyond my reach at my current stage.’

This information all came from his reading in the library. While searching for the information he needed, Su Xuan had also learned a bit about other countries, which made him feel that this world was far more vast than he had imagined.

The area covered by just the dozens of human kingdoms surpassed the landmass of Blue Star, not to mention the existence of other Races like the Elf Race, Beast Race, and Demon Race. This world was undoubtedly much larger than he had imagined.

This was definitely not the scale a game should have.

Even with tens of thousands of people working day and night, it would be impossible to create such a vast world, not in a hundred years, let alone a thousand.

Obviously, this world was more than just a simple game!

"So that’s how it is. Mr. Su Xuan is so knowledgeable~" Ivsha said admiringly, looking at Su Xuan with a gaze full of love.

"Ahem~"

Su Xuan let out a slightly awkward cough. He only knew that much, and it was all from books.

As for what the Moon God Empire was actually like, he had never seen it himself.

"Hurry up and collect the moonlight. The moon will be covered by dark clouds soon."

Su Xuan quickly handed the Small Jade Bottle to Ivsha. Only her abundant Magic Power could collect the bright moonlight.

"Okay~"

Ivsha nodded, took the Small Jade Bottle, and walked under the moonlight to begin collecting it with focus.

She gently guided the moonlight, drawing the bright strands into the Small Jade Bottle in her hand. One could clearly see the bottle gradually filling under the moonlight, emitting a faint glow.

[The Moonlight Bottle is collecting Moonlight Essence: Progress 1%!]

While waiting, Su Xuan turned his gaze to Alice and found her staring blankly at the moon above.

"What are you thinking about, Alice?"

Su Xuan asked in confusion.

"N-Nothing, Master~"

Alice shook her head lightly, a strange daze in her clear, sky-blue eyes.

It was as if she was hiding something, unwilling to let her sad emotions affect others.

...

Although Alice didn’t say it out loud, her inner voice was already being transmitted into his consciousness.

’Moonlight Witch... Milady...’

’I can do the laundry, cook, clean the rooms, I can learn anything! o(╥﹏╥)o’

’No! Please don’t leave me all alone!’

...

Su Xuan gazed at Alice’s face. Her inner voice was filled with desolation and helplessness.

’Past events wandered through her mind like a Nightmare, and she desperately needed someone to save her. Poor little thing~’

"Alice."

Su Xuan immediately gave Alice a command.

"H-Here, Master! What are your orders?" Alice immediately wiped the sorrow from her face, put on a sweet smile, and ran toward Su Xuan.

"Come massage my shoulders and legs. Your master is tired." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"As you command, Master~"

Alice walked cheerfully to Su Xuan’s side and began to gently massage his shoulders and legs, dutifully playing the role of a Maid. It was as if her previous sorrow had been swept away in that moment, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to serving her master.

Just as Su Xuan was enjoying Alice’s service and waiting for Ivsha to finish collecting the moonlight, Ivsha suddenly turned her head.

The moonlight spilled across her stunning cheeks, making her look even more enchanting. However, her expression held a faint trace of sorrow as she pleaded helplessly, "Mr. Su Xuan, my Magic Power... I think it’s all used up~"
