Chapter 31: I’m Gonna Be Rich!?
The Mimic Stones came from a deadly Abyssal Creature known as the Mirror Raccoon because it could mirror one’s abilities and talent. Fighting it felt like one was fighting themselves.
Because of that, these stones were rather hard to get for people like Leon but quite easy for Amber, who occasionally wandered around the Corrupted Land.
"It can’t fool everyone though," Leon said.
"True. But are you going to slow down your progress?" Amber asked.
"It will certainly be slower because I am reaching higher levels, but not that slow," Leon shook his head.
"Then, it’s all good. We’ll just do a play and tell the whole world that you got a mutated Grade 7 or Grade 8 Talent," Amber smiled and said. "Since you’ll match the progress of that Talent, it won’t make them suspicious, and even if they want to check, I can assure you that unless they check themselves, they won’t find anything."
She grinned and added, "This one came from a special mimic and can even fool the Artefacts and machines. So you’ll be okay."
"That’s great!" Leon exclaimed. "I’ll take the Grade 7 Talent. Grade 8 will just cause more troubles."
"You really are too suspicious of humanity," Amber chuckled softly.
"Maybe I read too many novels," Leon said, scratching his chin in embarrassment. He really had this great paranoia, so he couldn’t help but be cautious.
