Free Web NovelChapter 41: Step 41 to Greatness: Gambling In Primitive World
Go get her, as if it is that simple.
Adrian turned to look at Sera, or as she was called now, Seraphine. The name wasn’t the only thing that changed about her. She used to have blue eyes before, but now her eyes were red like the blood that covered her face.
It seemed the dual class was accompanied with dual personality disorder. The ancestors did not like Sera, but were drooling all over Seraphine.
Which is ironic, since the Playboy ancestor was the one who told me not to stick my dick in crazy.
While Adrian thought that, Seraphine had her fill of killing the injured. She got up and covered in blood, turned to Adrian with flushed cheeks and eyes that were craving more violence.
"Master..." she said softly, acting all cutesy. "Can I kill more next time? Please?"
She pouted while swaying her hips to the side. All the while, she kept staring at Adrian as if waiting for his approval. Much like a puppy waiting for praise after learning a new trick.
"Sure," Adrian shrugged, only to realize that she couldn’t understand him.
He was about to type a response to her when an unsettling smile spread on her blood-stained face, and she rushed to him. Before he could react, her arms were around his neck.
Adrian froze to the spot for a second before gently pushing her away. He hadn’t even made up his mind about following the ancestor’s quest to bed her, and she had already pressed her bloodied body against his.
"You’re covered in blood," he said, clearing his throat. "All of you, clean up in the stream first."
While he turned to tell everyone else, Seraphine looked down at the blood covering her.
"Clean? Of course. The clothes are dirty," she said, reaching behind her back to untie her grass top right there in front of everyone.
Adrian was surprised, not because the shy girl had turned so brazen, but because she could somehow understand his words.
However, a certain woman did not think it that way. She just saw her mate being seduced and charged at the woman. Before Seraphine could remove anything off her body, Amika lifted her and threw her into the stream.
"Don’t seduce my mate!" Amika yelled, pointing at Seraphine.
Adrian stood there and shook his head. Amika’s jealousy was getting out of hand now. He couldn’t have her lashing out at everyone because of her jealousy.
"M-Master!"
Seraphine’s voice snapped his attention to her. Mika had jumped into the water and was pulling her to the bank. When she got there, Adrian noticed the red glow in her eyes was gone.
"M-Master...?" she stammered. "What was I... doing in the water?"
"Cooling off."

As they walked back, Adrian tried talking to Sera again. However, she didn’t get a single word he said. It wasn’t just that, she did not have any memory of finishing those people or about the regional announcement.
She even checked her status page, and there was no mention of a second class there. If not for the announcement and the reward she received from it, Sera would think Adrian was pranking her. freēwebnovel.com
However, after seeing how quickly Sera accepted her other self, Adrian wondered if she was aware of it already. Before he could dwell on it further, Sera showed him the rewards she got.
At a glance, it wasn’t much. Just a unique title, which they conveniently couldn’t check the effects of, and a couple of structure cards.
"It’s called a marketplace," she said, taking out the card. "Here."
Unlike the cards Adrian had seen thus far, the marketplace card did not have a rarity or a grade. It was just a card with the engraving of a few stalls on it.

Adrian nodded and handed it back to her. It was a highly useful card. He had no shortage of exp, given that he can’t level up before completing the quest.
He was planning on having Sera use the card as soon as they got back.
If he could find pots there, then he could start producing salt and selling it on the market. Otherwise, he could wait for Sera to make the pots from scratch to do the same.
After all, salt was more valuable than gold in the savage world, and he wanted to see if the 10x effect would affect the exp he would get from the marketplace.
Other than the marketplace, she also got a blue card with the image of a well engraved on it.
"This is a wishing well," Sera explained. "It is like a sign-in system combined with a lottery machine. Every day, we can throw up to five random items into the well, and it would give an item in exchange."
<Adrian>: Anything?
Sera nodded, "Anything of any quality, though there is a probability for each grade item it could spawn. The chance for a legendary-grade item dropping is around 0.000001%. Pretty much nonexistent." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
It is better than nothing.
Despite the strange probabilities, the well was perhaps the second most interesting structure Adrian had seen yet. Apart from a hint of jealousy, he also felt excited.
"Let’s go gambling!" he exclaimed and began running, only to turn back, since the well was also bonded to Sera. He squatted down in front of her and patted his shoulder.
"Master...? Eek!"
Sensing Sera would waste his time, he grabbed her hands and yanked her on his back like a sack of potatoes.
However, he didn’t just do it to get there faster. He wanted to teach Amika a lesson for her outburst. Carrying another woman on his back right in front of her might have been childish, but it was the quickest way to express his displeasure.
"She is not feeling well after being thrown into the water," he told the women. "I’ll take her to the house and start a fire first."
Nixa nodded before looking at Amika. She didn’t have to ask her about it to know the girl was a bit sad. However, she understood it had only happened because she hurt the wanderer, so she kept her mouth shut as they left.
By the time they reached the settlement, the sun was already starting to set. As soon as they crossed the fence, Adrian sent Sera a message to use the wishing well card next to the salt quarry.
A moment later, the well made of gray stones appeared next to the mine. Both of them instinctively leaned in and were greeted by endless darkness. No matter how hard they stared, they couldn’t see the bottom.
"Here, throw these in," Adrian texted her, handing Sera a bunch of chicken feathers.
Sera nodded and dropped them inside. A second later, a blinding white flash erupted out of the well.
"What the hell...?"
