' Oh fuck yeah....' I thought with a sudden burst of elation.

I just created what I could only think to be a fucking super serum in fruit form.

Plus my appraisal could now probably tell what each of the equipment I got from the Gacha right at the start now did.

I'd save that for later though, right now I had a lie to deepen.

So walking over to the crack in the ceiling leading inside the submerged store I looked up at raven looking down at me.

" You done looking over the place?" She asked crouching, she stared down at me and smiled cheekily.

" You know, I quite like seeing you from up here." She said, her smile deepening.

" 'Ha-ha'." I mock laughed as I rolled my eyes staring at her." This isn't how I would have wished you above me but I'll take what I can get." I quipped and immediately Raven got my innuendo as her eyes widened just a bit before she snorted.

" Don't promise a lady a good time and struggle to achieve it Zek, don't you know that making false promises to a lady is dangerous?" She asked with a hint of flirtily humour.

Shaking my head I threw the fruit I had been holding at her, she caught it suprised a bit before she studied the fruit.

" Well I'll be, you weren't just pulling my hair huh?" She muttered staring at the apple before pocketing it, I didn't say anything to that.

" If you can get your boyfriend not to try to punch me again, then honey I just might pull it." I said, I couldn't resist.

" Hahaha...so the moment you lady friend isn't around you flirt with the first girl you see huh?" She muttered staring at me with a light smile.

" Not really, but I make sure I do when the lady is as beautiful as you." And with that I saw the corners of her lips tug up for a moment before she suppressed the smile that threatened to show.

" You're....you're one dangerous flirt you know that Ezekiel?" She told me staring at me for a moment before shaking her head." To bad I have a boyfriend or I might have just taken you up on that offer."

At that we both chuckled both playing it as if everything was all a joke, both of us knew otherwise though but the beauty of masks is apparent right at this moment.

" Tie a rope to something and climb down, we have a tree to pick dry." I told her, she simply rose an eyebrow to that and did just that.

5 minutes later and she was climbing down holding a couple of bags I fashioned out of the parachute material that is all over the camp.

I then led her deep into the store and immediately she paused as she stared at it.

" Wow...." She muttered staring at the beauty of the tree, I might have overdone it when I designed it but you have to admit I did a mighty fine job, I even bagged myself super soldier fruits.

And on the note of the fruits, I had initially planned to make fruits that would increase the physical parameters of those that are them just by a small but noticeable bit as I thought that would be my limit, but it seemed that I underestimated myself a bit.

But now I'd have to Nerf the fuckers, I'd let only those I was close with eat the apples and the others I'll simply make potions for.

" It's magnificent isn't it?" I asked already knowing the answer from the glint in her eyes.

" Yeah...." She responded, I shook my head at how dazed she seemed and instead walked up to the tree and a secretive use of [Plant Control] and I had a simple beautiful rainbow flower grow on the lower root area.

The flower was small, nail size even but it was beautiful in design, I had [Crafting] to thank for all my newfound artistic values.

I picked it up and walked up to Raven who still looked dazed at the tree.

I gently attached the flower to her hair, she was broken out of her stupor and immediately her hand was on the flower.

She took it off and then looked at it, she paused and then smiled as she looked at me.

" Thank you..." She said softly, she then attached the flower back in her hair.

" It may be beautiful but it has no weight towards yours." I told her before turning not seeing her tiny blush before I started picking the fruits and putting them in the bags.

" Come on now, let's quickly pick this thing dry and then get back to the others." I said picking up more and more fruits by the second, [Harvesting] a skill I might have forgotten about working double time.

" Yeah..." Muttered Raven before she walked up to the tree and helped me out.

I had made the tree short and the fruits low hanging and they glowed when their stems were attached to the tree so we would be able to quickly pick them up.
