Chapter 347: Full Moon Voyage (4)
[The Goldcoin-Biting Cat has a proposal for you.]
The Constellation told me what had been happening. It mostly had to do with the examiner—the Countess—watching from the lobby on the seventieth floor.
[The Goldcoin-Biting Cat desperately asks that you and your examiner agree to a fair deal.]
As it turned out, the Countess was bargaining with the Constellation! Just like the Paladin’s Skills were from the God of Serpents, the Countess had gotten hers from the God of Trade. This same God of Trade was said to be the Constellation—also known as the Goldcoin-Biting Cat—that ruled the seventy-second floor, the Golden Heaven Realm.
Well.
I didn’t have much of a problem accepting the fact. There were too many similarities between the Countess’s Skill and how the Golden Heaven Realm worked to brush it off as a mere coincidence.
The Countess can use her Skill and bargain to summon almost anything. The price is up to the trader. When she bought the item named “World Peace,” she got a message that the world has always been peaceful.
In short, the Skill pissed off the Countess. When she was upset, the God of Trade became satisfied. That sounded very familiar. The core of the Skill was pissing off others.
“I feel like the Countess is very angry with you,” I said.
[The Goldcoin-Biting Cat begs you to do something about it!]
For a very long time, the Countess had been using the God of Trade’s Skill. Each time she did, she was teased and provoked, just like when I first came to Levanta Port City and was humiliated in front of everyone. No, she had probably endured something similar to that for years.
I was willing to bet that the Countess didn’t think something along the lines of “Oh, I’m so grateful to whoever gave me this Skill.” Not even close. She probably thought “I did not know who you were all this time, but now I do. It’s perfect!”
