"I don't know."
Kieran shook his head honestly, the vigilance in his heart skyrocketing.
This was because he sensed a trace of malicious intent from the other party.
As his Spirit grew stronger and his Intuition reached Advance Rank, Kieran, who was already sensitive to malicious intent, was even sharper in capturing malicious intent.
Given the close distance, even a little bit of malicious intent would not escape his eyes.
"Seed of Fantasy!"
"It's a seed that perfectly combines meat and plants. Once successfully planted, people will be able to taste vegetables, rice flour, chicken, beef, pork, and many other flavors at the same time, unlike some top restaurants, which rely entirely on the chef's cooking skills to get close to this level."
Just the thought of it makes me happy. "
Olivier Ryde's face showed yearning.
Kieran looked at Olivier, he couldn't tell whether the yearning on Olivier Ryde's face was real or fake, but it didn't stop Kieran from asking, "So?
So, I hope you can be the middleman and introduce me to Professor Smith.
I don't need you to do anything else, just introduce me.
If you succeed, I'll give you a Proper Meal class meal, and even if you fail, I'll give you a Bento class meal as a token of appreciation.
Of course, I know your rules. Before you complete the previous deal and get your reward, you won't open the next one. "
Olivier Ryde took out a palm-sized metal pot from his pocket with a smile and passed it to Kieran.
Kieran, who had received the order in secret, stepped up and took the metal pot. He checked it carefully and after making sure it was safe, he passed it to Kieran.
When Kieran touched the metal pot, lines of words appeared in his vision.
[Name: Drops of Finest Cream]
[Type: Food]
[Rarity: I]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Intelligence]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: During the Bronze Age, people's love for the Golden Cake didn't change. However, the Golden Cake that lacked the main ingredient couldn't satisfy people's needs. Gradually, a new type of food replaced the Golden Cake that lacked the main ingredient. It was the Superior Cream Juice. People also called it the Superior Cream Juice. Although it couldn't be compared to the real Golden Cake, it satisfied the people of the Bronze Age greatly.]
…
[Intelligence Awakening: There is a certain chance that you will receive talents related to intelligence.]
…
(Note 1: This is only a certain probability. It will not succeed every time.)
(Note 2: This is a standard portion and can only be taken by one person.)
(Note 3: It can only be used once to activate one's talent. Repeated consumption is ineffective.)
(Note 4: When food leaves the container, its quality will decrease over time.)
…
"Juice of Finest Cream? I'm sorry, although many people like to call it Juice of Finest Cream, I prefer to use the name passed down in the Ryde Family."
"It's our family's specialty. We produce a small amount every three years and as the heir of the family, I get some every three years."
"It's the most effective during the first consumption, so I suggest 2567 find a quiet and comfortable place to consume it."
"However, even if it doesn't succeed, if we establish a long-term partnership, you can still obtain it again. Although it will lose its effect after activating a similar talent once, it will still be quite beneficial to your body if you take it for a long time."
After Kieran took the [Superior Cream], Oliford Ryde started to inform Kieran of the things to take note of.
Although the system's annotations were clear, Kieran didn't interrupt Oliford. After Oliford Ryde's words subsided, Kieran said, "You sure are well-informed."
"Garcia isn't a nobody, so it's natural for a lot of people to pay attention to him."
"Of course, more people are paying attention to you now."
"What do you think of my previous suggestion?"
Oliford Ryde shifted the topic back to the deal.
"I need to think about it."
Kieran replied.
"No problem."
"Contact me when you're done."
"You know my communicator number."
Oliford Ryde took out his communicator and stood up to bid farewell. Kieran didn't ask him to stay, he just watched him leave quietly and squinted his eyes.
…
Outside the cafeteria, the Ryde Family servant who was guarding the car saw Oliford Ryde come out and opened the car door.
Oliford Ryde was used to it and sat in the back seat under the gazes of the crowd.
However, when the car door was closed and the window and reflective film blocked the view, Oliford Ryde showed a smile on his face.
A delighted smile.
"Seems like your plan is going smoothly."
"As expected of the first heir of Ryde Family."
The servant in the driver's seat flattered Oliford Ryde when he saw the smile.
"It's nothing, it's too simple.
All I need to do is meet the First Seat freshman. "
"Too bad …"
"At first, I really wanted to form a long-term working relationship with him, he has the potential that I'm looking forward to! But compared to the family, what is a little First Seat freshman? "
Leaning against the back seat, Oliford Ryde shook his head in pity and immediately showed a more direct and disdainful smile.
"Yeah, so what if he's famous?
He's just a little First Seat freshman.
Even if he doesn't die now, he can't compare to young master and Ryde Family! "
"Whether it's now or in the future."
Oliford Ryde's servant continued to flatter him.
"But we still need to thank him for using his life to attract Romuse and Smith's attention. So remember to remind me to send him flowers when he's buried."
"Although he will be injured by the enraged Smith under our arrangements and then blown up into pieces by our men," Oliford Ryde said slowly.
Oliford Ryde said slowly.
"Young master, you are really …"
"I see."
The servant's flattery was interrupted.
Oliford Ryde threw a punch to his side without a second thought but when he raised his arm, he felt his whole body go numb.
"Paralysis Ball!"
"You …"
Oliford Ryde cried out in shock. [Paralysis Ball] was only one of the reasons, but more importantly, it was because he saw the person who suddenly appeared beside him.
Kieran!
Oliford Ryde didn't know how Kieran appeared before him but he knew he had to say something.
Unfortunately, Kieran didn't even give him the chance to speak.
A ball of Devil Flame appeared in the car out of thin air.
Then … it exploded!
KABOOM!
The speeding car exploded just like that.
Oliford Ryde and the servant inside the car were blasted into pieces.
Just like how Oliford Ryde arranged for Kieran to die, Kieran returned it to Oliford Ryde in its original form.
When the fire burst into the sky and attracted everyone's attention, Kieran swiftly returned to the cafeteria. Just like how Transcendence [Undercover] combined with [Dark Movement Technique], no one noticed him when he left the cafeteria and when he returned, no one noticed him either.
As for the waiters in the cafeteria?
They were sent away by Kieran with the excuse of drinking [Drops of Finest Cream].
Oliver Ryder had said to find a quiet and comfortable place to rest.
What else could be quieter than the cafeteria after lunch?
Comfortable?
To Kieran, the cafeteria was the most comfortable place in many aspects.
"Stand guard outside, no one can come in without my permission."
Kieran ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
The Dark Eater bowed and walked out. After the door was closed and the noisy outside was isolated, Kieran took out [Drops of Finest Cream].
It wasn't a pot.
It was …
Three pots!
Other than the first pot, which was the bargaining chip, the other two were the spoils of war.
Kieran wasn't surprised that Oliford Ryde had such a 'value beyond his value'. Based on the conversation between Oliford and Ryde, Kieran knew Oliford had prepared a series of plans. Although he didn't know what the plans were, Kieran knew in order to set up a trap for people like Romuse and Smith, it was impossible not to pay a hefty price.
It was only natural that the extra two pots of [Drops of Finest Cream] were for this trap.
But now, they were all Kieran's.
Without further ado, Kieran kept the extra two pots of [Drops of Finest Cream], opened one of them and drank it all in a single gulp.
It was slightly sweet with a rich milk aroma and a faint oily taste.
Before Kieran could savor the taste, the system notifications popped up.
[Absorbed special energy, Talent Awakening authentication …]
[Authentication successful!]
[Acquired Talent: Memory Palace]
[Name: Memory Palace]
[Type: Talent]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attribute: 1. Extreme Reading Memory; 2. Optimize General Memory]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Remark: Forget? That's impossible! Everything will be categorized and stored in your brain, just like a palace in order.]
…
[Extreme Reading Memory: When reading, you will have a photographic memory.]
[Optimize General Memory: Your memory will be greatly enhanced in daily life.]
…
The whole process was quick, it was completed in less than 10 minutes.
Kieran wasn't dissatisfied at all when he saw the Magic rank talent [Memory Palace] that was activated. Perhaps compared to the powerful Legendary rank talent [The Warden], [Memory Palace] didn't have the slightest combat power and was more than a rank lower than [The Warden]. However, for Kieran who was used to being vigilant, a huge increase in his memory was a decent choice.
At least, it would lessen his mistakes.
Feeling the blurry yet clear memories in his mind, Kieran curled his lips into a grin. Even the argument outside didn't affect his mood at all.
…
"Lester, we want to see 2567!"
Senile and Leonard, who were blocked outside the door by the former Dark Eaters, raised their voices.
"No one is allowed in without the lord's permission!"
The former Dark Eater said coldly.
"I'm Senile!
I'm the one who signed your pardon! "
Senile was infuriated.
"But the lord is the one who freed me from the abyss of suffering, not you!
Please don't take other people's credit as your own, it will only make you look ugly! "
Lester said in a mocking tone.
To Lester, although he was controlled by [Mesly Ring], the control wasn't forceful. It didn't just retain Lester's intellect and personality, even the process of being controlled was interpreted by Lester as a form of redemption.
Therefore, Lester treated Kieran as the one and only, the God in his heart.
The other controlled ones shared the same sentiment.
As for the others?
They still felt the same.
They still liked what they liked.
They still hated what they hated.
They wouldn't change.
Of course, if Kieran gave them some orders, their likes and dislikes could be changed.
However, it seemed like Lester didn't receive any orders from Kieran.
"Or …"
"You bastard who abandoned your old classmate, treating my so-called 'pardon' as redemption for yourself?"
Lester said mercilessly.
"Shut up!"
Leonard, who had been paying attention to his friend, scolded him when he saw his friend's face turn pale. He then looked at Lester with an unfriendly gaze.
"What?
"You want to silence me after my words hit your sore spot?"
I guess you're right, this is how you people do things. "
The former Dark Eater was like a venomous snake, spitting venom non-stop to agitate Senile and Leonard.
Senile's face turned uglier by the second.
Leonard, on the other hand, went into a battle stance without a second thought.
The Dark Eater was even more direct, a dagger appearing in his hand.
A loud shout sounded just as the battle was about to break out.
"Stop!"
Professor Tyrese was walking over from afar.
"Leonard, take Senile to get some rest, I'll handle the rest."
Professor Tyrese knew what was going on with a single glance.
"Yes, Professor."
Leonard nodded and left with Senile. When there were only two of them left in front of the door, Professor Tyrese looked at Lester.
"It's not a good habit to poke at people's scars."
Professor Tyrese said in a heavy tone.
"It's a good habit to simply claim other people's credit?"
Lester retorted.
Despite facing the famous Professor Tyrese, Lester didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, he was still giving tit for tat.
However, the tit for tat didn't anger Professor Tyrese.
Quite the opposite, he was relieved of the doubts in his heart.
"Just like what Molly said.
"Lester will only treat the special 2567 differently. As for the others, he will maintain his original attitude for quite a long time."
Let's hope everything turns out for the better. "
Professor Tyrese spoke with the thoughts in his heart.
"I want to see 2567.
Without the lord's permission, no one can go in. "
The former Dark Eater repeated.
"Then I'll wait for him here."
Professor Tyrese said.
Lester glanced over Lester and then stood in front of the door, looking straight ahead.
As long as Lester didn't force his way in, Lester wouldn't care since he remembered Kieran's order.
One minute, two minutes.
Time passed slowly. Professor Tyrese waited patiently, but at the next moment, his communicator rang.
Di, Di.
"What?!"
