106 A Lucky Day

Trevon slept for nine hours. After continuous battles and dangers, he enjoyed his happy sleep with the twin bolsters. He woke at 14:00 fully refreshed.

[My body is all painful.] He stretched his arms and legs, then jumped from the bed.

His room in Goldcave was similar to the one in Redwood. McArthur family always furnished their building with high-quality items and decorations. They were mainly in red, gold, or dark brown color.

He walked toward a washing basin and took the time to wash his face. [This is cool.] He enjoyed the refreshing sensation.

He turned off the privacy formation and shouted. "Anyone here?!"

"Yes, Young Master." Aya came into the room.

"Call the servant! I want some hot water for my bath." Trevon wasn't accustomed to ordering Aya. [She would become a Rank 4 warrior.]

"I can do it, Young Master." Aya was barely doing any maid job other than cleaning and cooking. That was only because she actively did it. Most of her time was spent on cultivation.

"No need. Go call them! You can bring me some porridges." He ordered Aya. The young master still enjoyed Aya's porridge.

"Yes, Young Master." Aya bowed before she went outside.

Five minutes later two big men came and brought a huge water basin. They poured the water and balance the hot and cold water.

"I want it slightly hot."

It took them five minutes before the water was heated. One of the servants put his finger to test the temperature.

"The water is ready." One of them reported to Trevon.

"Good! You can go now." Trevon didn't want a male servant to help him bathe.

"Yes, Young Master." They bowed before leaving the room.

The young master waited until the servants exited his room before he reactivated the privacy formation. Trevon entered the slightly hot water. He started with his foot.

[This is nice.] Trevon commented. He felt the hot water kneaded on his aching body. The young master continued to enter his full body in the water. [Ah…]

Trevon didn't stop at that. He went to the Universe Store and asked Auto to purchase some aromatic oil for his bath. In Redwood, he had sold several different fragrances to the store.

Trevon opened the bottle. He could smell the peppermint fragrance. His tired body felt a bit more refreshed. The young master continued pouring more aromatic oil to his bathing basin.

Soon the steam from the hot water spread the fragrance into the entire bathroom.

[Ah…] The tired young master enjoyed his bath. He sniffed the relaxing smell. Once in a while, he controlled fire elements to reheat the water. It took him thirty minutes to enjoy his bath.

While Trevon enjoyed a bath, someone else enjoyed something too. "Grup… Grup… Grup… Your porridge tastes good. Gwahahaha."

"Hey! That porridge is my breakfast, lunch, and lunner!!!" Trevon shouted.

"We should go outside. I haven't tried more foods in the city. This Rabbink doesn't want to stay in the room with you."

"Ergh… You can try the dining hall in this pavilion."

"This Rabbink has tried that in the morning when you were still sleeping. It is fully cleaned. Do not worry!" Master Rabbink dedicated itself as the cleaning service. "I am a good Rabbink even helping the cleaning service. Gwahahaha."

"You can go by yourself!" Trevon grumbled. His relaxing mood was destroyed by a glutton Rabbink.

"That is not fun. Gwahahaha."

"Ugh! Can't I stay at home and read some novels?" Trevon wanted to rest. His days lately were full of disasters. The worst, he wasn't the source of those disasters.

Trevon lost the mood to relax in the bathroom. He went outside his water basin and found a place to sit in the lotus position.

He used his 'Quest Mode Using' skill and focused on his Status panel.

[Name: Trevon McArthur]

[Age: 16 Years Old]

[Status: Virgin]

[Level: 24]

[Destiny Energy: 0]

[Special Destiny Energy: 1]

He focused on the special panel. The Apprentice God had used that in the past after he won some from escaping from demon beast waves.

[Do you want to use special destiny energy for cultivation?]

[Yes, use it.]

[Cultivating commenced.]

Trevon suddenly fell into a trance again. That was the same great feeling that he experienced every time he absorbed some spiritual energy. He felt some energy from the air entered his body. Those warm current energies slowly filled his body.

[Hm…] He enjoyed the feeling. This process was easy without any need to force himself. The energy seemed competing to merge with his body. Even better the energy seemed to know where they should merge into. [I like this 'getting stronger without working' feeling. Hahaha.]

Trevon enjoyed the sensation. It was even better than going into the heaven because of a beautiful girl. "Aaaahhh…" He couldn't control his mind.

After he arrived at the peak of the heaven, Trevon could smell some stinks in the air.

[Ew…] He saw some sticky things on his skin. Those were his impurities. The more cultivator tempered one's body the lesser impurities there. He had reached the last level for a Rank 1 warrior. In front of him was the door to Rank 2.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Trevon laughed. He couldn't imagine today's event two years ago. The lazy young master had forgotten his dream to become a warrior who could surpass Alvaro or Douglas. Nevertheless, here he was today, only one step away from a Rank 2 warrior.

"Sob… Sob… Sob…" Trevon could stop his crying. [I did it. I am a Level 25 now. One more level! Yeah! One more level!]

Trevon washed his body with some water. He didn't forget to use his beloved 1crowbar soap and shampoo to clean. The young master hummed a happy song.

He enjoyed the feeling of leveling up. It made him forget about the annoying Rabbink and the troubles he experienced in the past two days.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at his own bedroom again. The Rabbink had cleaned the table. Trevon didn't even see the bowl or the spoon for the porridge.

"Wow! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! You have reached Lv 25. This Rabbink could tell you more things. I believe we should celebrate today's events with YOUR TREAT. Gwahahaha."

"No way! You are richer than me." Trevon complained.

"I have treated you yesterday. Today, we should celebrate your victory to those Debt collectors. It is still you, the young master, who had the last laugh. Gwahahaha." The Rabbink tone turned dark and evil. "Let's make today the luckiest day in your life! You have defeated and pirated the Debt Collector lucky chance. Now you just leveled up! What a good day! What a lucky day!"

"Fine. I will treat you today!" Trevon enjoyed that. [Yes! Today is a lucky day. Hahaha. I start to become a real main character. After the tragedy with the bandits, it was one victory to another. Hahaha."

"Good! I have checked some people's memory. Sleeping Dragon is another famous restaurant in the city. It is popular with its Drunken Pig menu. You haven't come to Goldcave before you eat that!"

"What? That must be a spirit food. You pay for that!" Trevon was afraid. Spirit foods were expensive, unlike common luxury foods. The ingredient made the cost unreachable for low-rank warriors.

"I will tell you about the secret to reaching Rank 2 in return. Isn't that interesting? You should treat this Rabbink for sharing such a big secret."

"Hm…" Trevon started to think.

"I and my fellow clones have even improved the liquid yesterday. You have a perfected liquid that those Debt collectors would cry for. This Rabbink truly deserves some good foods."

"Fine! Only one portion for you. Use your research money if you want more."

"Gwahahaha. Good!" Master Rabbink sent some spiritual image about the location. The restaurant was located not far away from the McArthur family. It was even slightly near the gate.

Trevon went outside his room. He called Aya and Marcus to follow him again. The others were still injured.

Trevon visited Nana before he left. However, he got a surprise with the Mouse. Nana was happily enjoying her foods.

"Are you totally fine?" Trevon asked Nana.

"Squeak?!!" The mouse suddenly fell. It shook its body and weakly squeaked. "Squuueeeekkk…" Nana even showed some tears before stopped moving altogether. Her eyes opened as big as possible while her tiny hands and feet stretched as far as she could.

"Gwahahaha. Like the master, like the beast." Master Rabbink laughed

"What are you doing?!!! I know you are healthy!"

"Squeak!" Nana sent an information using their contract connection. She said that she was enjoying her life eating food in the beast tamer division. It gave a pleading gaze. "Sequeak…"

"No!"

"Squeak…" Nana jumped into Trevon's shoulder. Her ears were down.

"You should be happy! I will bring you to a restaurant to celebrate my level up. This young master is finally managed to chase you. Hahaha." Trevon laughed. Then he sent a message through his connection to tell the mouse that he was a step away from Rank 2 warrior.

"Don't you think I am a genius? A human could compete with a mouse-type demon beast. Hahaha."

"Squeak! Squeak!" Nana protested. She sent that Trevon should not felt proud so fast.

"What?!" Trevon didn't believe it. He used his Scout skill to Nana.

[Name: Nana]

[Age: 2 Years]

[Sex: Female]

[Species: Ice Mouse]

[Potential: 26/112]

[Determination: 88]

[Cultivation Speed: 91]

[Loyalty: 70]

[Decision Making: 5]

[Talent: Eating, Burrowing, Breeding, Jumping]

[Ability: Mouse Bite, Mouse Dash, Mouse Spin, Shadow Jump, Scratch, Ice Beam]

[Affiliation: Trevon McArthur]

"Squeak! Squeak!" Trevon knew the mouse was laughing proudly. She raised her head higher.

"She had faced a life and death scenario. Congratulations of for her level up!" Master Rabbink said.

Trevon didn't know whether he should be happy or not. Even with a cheat, he couldn't beat the mouse. [It is hard to compare with a genius demon beast.]

"Eh? Why didn't you show some change?" Trevon had read demon beast often had some change with its physical appearance after they Rank up. He also read that she was no longer a Snow Mouse. That meant that she had evolved.

"Squeak!" Nana told Trevon that she had softer and bluish fur.

Trevon finally realized. The mouse had softer fur. After some careful check, he found slightly blue on her color.

"Yes, the Ice Mouse was slightly blue compared to Snow Mouse. She would become bluer the higher her level. This is an evolution. It is a rare event. Totally worth celebrating!"

"Is it? Or do you plan to ask me for more free foods?"

"Gah! Do you want this Rabbink to pay for you? This evolution event is very rare. Only one in a million chance. She is a genius mouse. The danger of the last battle allowed her to evolve. Most demon beast would never have the chance to evolve. You have to celebrate!!! We should have a very big celebration. Only Drunken Pig could celebrate this."

"Yeah!" Trevon said with a monotone voice. He didn't believe with the chance the Rabbink said.

"Seriously! We should get the Drunken Pig!" Master Rabbink slurped.

Trevon was actually interested to taste the food that could make the Rabbink crazy.

Trevon left his family pavilion and went to the place that Master Rabbink had shown through its spiritual sense. The Rabbink floated around while humming an energetic song. However, Trevon could sense the city's population weren't that happy.

He was walking past a street when he heard some people gossiped.

"Hey! Have you heard yesterday event?"

"I heard Ironlaw family managed to capture an attacker."

"There is the picture in the square."

Trevon heard some people gossiped on the street. He heard several rumors during his walk. Most were the useless thing like the supplies and product price. However, the other big rumor was the damage to the city. It made his happy mood turned one notch lower.

[Sigh… That is because of me. If only I am stronger.] He thought.

Trevon passed several big pavilions and arrived on a busy street. While Redwood City had Central Marketway, Goldcave had several important trading locations. He arrived at one of them, the Gold Market.

The young master saw some wagons came into the city. They unloaded their belonging into several stores in the city. While the city experienced a big attack yesterday, Goldcave City needed those villagers to bring foods and daily supplies. So, businesses were still busy with daily trading. They couldn't stop else the citizens couldn't eat.

Goldcave City located in a cave so it didn't have enough spaces for farming and animal herding. All its foods came from the villages outside the Gigant Forest.

Based on this condition the place was bad, but Trevon read in his travel booklet. Goldcave City had a high spiritual energy in the air. The place would allow common people to live longer and healthier. While some cultivators reported a faster cultivation rate in this place.

Trevon walked through the busy street. Sometimes he purchased small items there and here until he reached a shabby building.

[Are you sure this is the place?] Trevon didn't believe in the building before him. It was a tattered tavern. From outside, he could see the woods used were ancient and had shown the sign of obsolescent. The rooftop even still used darkish tiles while the stone bricks were mossy.

"Don't you feel the place is strange?" Master Rabbink laughed.

[Yes.] Trevon had to admit he didn't believe this place could exist in Goldcave. The building used a strange design. Perhaps it was a combination of dwarves' style and Heavenly Phoenix's style. It was made fully from bricks and woods.

However, it didn't have any plaster to cover those bricks and woods, unlike common building in Heavenly Phoenix. While the Heavenly Phoenix style only showed in the open terrace on the second floor with phoenix statues on the eaves. Yet, no one was there.

"Let's go inside!" Master Rabbink couldn't wait to taste the food.

Trevon went toward the door. Each his steps made a rattle sound. He wanted to go back and selected another restaurant, but Master Rabbink had gone through the door.

[Gah! That Rabbink! This place wouldn't be able to hold my cele…] The young master pushed the wooden door open.

However, inside was different. It was warm with a fireplace light the room. Trevon could smell a fragrant roasted chicken. He didn't see many people at this time, but he could hear some people laughing and gossiping with loud voices.

The smells made him stopped his complaint. [This is a good place.] Trevon thought.

"Good Afternoon, Young Master." A middle-aged woman received Trevon. She wasn't beautiful like a common attendant. Instead, she looked like a friendly neighbor with a huge warm smile and chubby body type. "Do you want to eat here?"

"Yes, I want some tables for me and my bodyguard. Do you have a VIP room?" Trevon asked.

"Hahaha. Young Master must be new in Goldcave. Our Sleeping Dragon didn't have any VIP room. If young master interested, we have the second floor which offered a bit extra privacy." The lady didn't treat Trevon seriously. It was very different from a common attendant who wanted to please him for extra tips.

"Fine. The second floor then." Trevon took his favorite fan and fanned himself. He wanted to show that he was different from other people.

The people in the restaurant weren't the elite type. He barely saw merchants in the room. Trevon believed those people were mercenaries since they had muscled body, coarse robes, and various weapons next to them. They also spoke more boorish with their object discussion varied from danger, bandits, until the beautiful ladies in the pleasure houses.

The chubby aunt cleaned a table for Trevon. She also prepared another table for Aya and Marcus. Trevon sat at his table. He saw the menu already on the table.

The room was badly decorated. Old wooden plank covered its floor. The furniture all made from spirit woods, but all were old and often rickety. Even the table that Trevon used often wobbly if he pressed his hand on it.

[Are you seriously bringing me here?] Trevon believed the Rabbink read the wrong memory.

"One hundred percent sure. This is the best food in the city based on those memories I have read."

Trevon could only accept Master Rabbink's words. He took the menu and read it.

[Hm... This is very cheap.] Trevon saw the price and the menu. He wouldn't need to pay one gold coin to get enough food to feed the Rabbink. [Should I empty the store?]

"Do you have the Drunken Pig?" Trevon asked the aunt. He couldn't find it on the menu.

"You want our Drunken Pig, Young Master?" The aunty attendant who was cleaning Aya and Marcus's table asked Trevon. Her face showed a disbelieving look.

"Yes. Four drunken pigs. Three for me, one for my bodyguards!"

"I am really sorry, Young Master. Drunken Pig is a very special menu." This time she had a bit worrying tone.

"One for me then." Trevon couldn't imagine a food that he couldn't get. That made him wanted the Drunken Pig more. [The Rabbink didn't lie. This is special. I must have it. Hehehe.]

"No. We can't. Not everyone could order that."

"No. I want it. I can pay huge money for it!" Trevon fanned himself with his fan.

"No. You are mistaken, Young master. It is a food only for strong people. I suggest young master order a common menu. Our fried noodle is very famous. Everyone says that our fried noodle is the best in the city."

"I am strong. I want Drunken Pig." Trevon felt confident. He slapped his fan to his other hand closing the fan.

"Are you sure about this, Young Master?"

"Yes! I want my Drunken Pig." This was Trevon's habit. The harder it was, the more he wanted to snatch it.

"… If you are confident. It is one thousand spirit stones per trial." The aunt looked at Trevon. "Young Master must pay it in the front."

"I have to pay it now?" Trevon felt a bit confused. [Do they think I would run away? This is expensive!]

However, he must have it. Trevon dropped a pouch full of spirit stones. He was a young master, he wouldn't want people to say he couldn't buy a dish.

"Thank you, Young Master." She took the pouch and saw the contents before putting in inside her robes. Her face showed a full smile.

"DRRRUNKENNN PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!!" Suddenly the smiling aunt shouted in a yodel tone. Her voice turned from amiable and friendly into loud and jarring.

"Drunken Pig!"

"Drunken Pig!"

"Drunken Pig!"

"Drunken Pig!" The rowdy people downstairs shouted.

"We have Drunken Pig today!" A man shouted.

"I want to go now! My friend wanted to watch a Drunken Pig!"

"I will bring my brother too." Some people went from the restaurant.

"Eh? What happened?" Trevon felt a bit confused. Aya and Marcus also looked around.

[Is this menu rare?] Trevon thought. [Those people must want to see a dish worth one thousand spirit stone. Hmph… This will bring prestige to me in Goldcave. Hahaha.]

"Who wants to order a Drunken Pig?!" A big man appeared from the door at the back of the restaurant.

Trevon believed he was bigger than Omar. The man looked old with long beards and mustaches. However, his body was fully fit. Every muscle on his body still radiated the prowess behind it. A gray chef robe couldn't fully cover those muscles.

"Me?" Trevon felt a bit confused. He slowly raised his hand.

"Good! You are a brave young man. Follow me!" He returned to the back door.

Every person in the room looked at Trevon. They gave a thumb up for him.

[Is this menu really that amazing? Is it very hot? I am not afraid of hot foods.] Trevon felt strange, but he enjoyed the accolade.

"Young Master is the bravest man. My name Raiden! I will drink for you." A muscular man poured a wine and drunk it. Other people also poured some wine to Trevon.

"Hahaha. Thank you! Thank you." Trevon went from the second floor to the first floor. He returned those rowdy but actually friendly people salute.

"Your Master is a young hero. Totally deserves to be mentioned to people in Goldcave. May we know your name?" Another man saluted Trevon.

"Hahahaha. I am only a common young warrior. My name is Trevon McArthur!" Trevon intentionally mentioned his family name. He spoke his name a bit louder.

"Wonderful! McArthur family really always produced the best younger generation." Another man gave a hand and fist salute to Trevon.

"Hahahaha! Do not worry! I will treat you all to drink today." Trevon was very happy today. He got a level up, he managed to obtain a powerful treasure, and he defeated the debt collector. Even better was Nana. She had become a Rank 2 Demon Beast.

"Great Young Man. Brave, Modest, and Generous." Another man praised Trevon.

"Hahaha." Trevon happily walked toward the back gate. He returned those praises with his hand and fist greeting. "Free drinks on me for everyone!" The happy young master shouted toward the aunty.
