129 The Golden Apple
“So what are we going to next? we need to take care of your arm. My father knew at least four high-ranking healers.” Sofia pointed at his arms as she gave her suggestions.
Fein gave a self-deprecating smile, “I would appreciate it, I can’t get used to this feeling, and I don’t want to get used to it. I miss my right hand, without it I felt uncomfortable. Now, I only want to head out of this place to get this matter done.”
Sofia chuckled at this and she nodded her head. “Well, my father would surely help you out after all you save my life. I feel responsible for it also that I felt the need to do something or my conscience would eat me.”
“Are you sure those healers can bring my right hand back?”
“Of course, they are credible as they are always gets commissioned by high-ranking people, their status is prestigious and many forces support them. Those who have a healer profession could only be counted by one hand.”
Fein nodded at this, he still trust her words as in things like this, Sofia knows quite a lot. “Well, if it doesn’t work, I can create my own potion that can regenerate body parts. But that would require a lot of time and effort. It’s a hassle and my schedule won’t allow me as I need to kill that bastard Jackson after going out.”
Hearing Jackson’s name again, a glint appeared in Sofia’s eyes. She knew that Fain has a feud with Jackson, as he had inquired about his information on their library. She was quite curious about the cause, but she was worried that she was being too nosy. So, she decided to ask carefully. “Why do you hate him that much? If it’s sensitive, you don’t have to answer.”
Hearing her question, Fein began to ponder for a while. Should he tell her the reason? Well, there’s nothing to hide about it. After all, it doesn’t touch his secret. And he has already sufficient strength that even if some of his secrets leaked it wouldn’t affect him that much, except for him being a transmigrator that is. He might be hunted by powerful people if that secret gets leaked. A thing such as transmigration would surely draw the attention of all parties and might be sliced up for research.
Even though he grew stronger, he can’t face a group of S-rank. Yes, his attack power was enough to take down an SS rank, but that didn’t mean that he can fight a group of S rank as a lot of factors and variables are needed to win, it doesn’t depend entirely on the offensive. The factors that can contribute to battle include information, equipment, abilities, attributes, planning, medicinal pill, and trump cards. Fein knew that in other aspects he lacks a lot. Facing a group of S-rank with weird abilities is still too much for him, though he was confident to kill five or fifteen of them if he made a desperate attack.
.....
That’s why no matter what happened he wants to grow stably and quietly. But that doesn’t mean that he would keep quiet if someone decided to irk him. he would fight back when someone offended him, as he wasn’t the type to let someone walk over him. Fein knew that his pettiness had already reached the level of culmination. He would get back at someone, and let them eat their shit 10x!
“He was the reason why I walk into the mysterious side. He was the perpetrator that changed the course of my life. I still don’t know why I got involved with him as my memories of that part are still vague, but as the survivor, I bear the pressure of getting silenced. That’s why I strive for the power to protect myself. Survival was the only thing that kept me going. As Jackson could pop out any time and take my life. I didn’t expect he would not even bother about me. I don’t know what he was doing now, but I for sure won’t make the same mistake as him. When I can, I would uproot every threat.
“At least it gave you the drive to become stronger in a short time.” Sofia continued. She didn’t expect that Fein would be involved in such a thing. Now she found it reasonable why Fain wants to become stronger so badly.
She was also amazed at how cautious he was.
Sofia looked at Fein with admiration. Her father told her that experience makes a great person, and it seems that he was one of them.
Fein couldn’t help but agree with her statement. The pressure of survival had pressured her to get stronger quickly. After all, survival is the fundamental instinct of a man from the beginning of time. No one could argue that all creatures have evolved due to their desire to survive. It was also the greatest motivation tool. One doesn’t need a reason why they want to survive, because it was our natural instinct.
Before they leave, he made a quick mental command; he visualizes the keywords of golden apple, and just like that, a fruit shining with darkness appeared. Unlike its name, the apple wasn’t really golden at all; it was the fucking opposite. It included the picture of the golden apple in the technique knowledge package to give the successor a clue on what they have to find. Shouldn’t they name it the apple of darkness? As that was more appropriate. Fein shook his head, it seems that the art of trolling was already mainstream even in the past.
He turned his head at Sofia and says. “Let’s go, the earlier we get back, the better.”
Then he retrieved a piece of paper and a set of painting materials from his storage space. He has these materials so that he can improve his painting and drawing skills. He started to draw the appearance of the golden apple.
“If you find this fruit, you have to notify me.” Fein gave them the paper after he finished.
“What is that? some kind of material for your potions?” Sofia raised her eyebrow as she saw the apple that shined with darkness. Fein vividly painted the apple as if it had appeared in front of her.
Like his other talents, painting and drawing had reached level 10. Fein wasn’t the type of person to waste his talent. He knew he could use even a seemingly useless skill when the time comes. That’s why he kept grinding to improve anything that is considered a talent when he have time to spare. He doesn’t dare to relax, slacking would only stunt his growth and waste his potential.
