Chapter 823 -9: Expansion_2
After careful consideration, Link generally agreed with Jasmine’s suggestion.
Once the Grande Sage Army’s reorganization was completed, it set off triumphantly to return to base.
After preliminary communication with Dean Frist, Link reached a consignment agreement with the academy.
He secured a lucrative deal for the fertile Water World.
Upon evaluation, the quarterly output of the Water World was estimated to be worth about two standard Third Ring Magic Stones, which amounted to eight standard Third Ring Magic Stones per year.
According to the market standard of the Wizard World, the selling price of an undeveloped resource world equals its annual output value times forty years.
By this calculation, the seller would neither lose nor profit.
The buyers needed to invest time and resources to develop the purchased resource world, so the selling price could not be set too high.
However, for Link, 320 standard Third Ring Magic Stones was already a very good price.
The Krypton Card Drawing System required ten and one hundred standard Third Ring Magic Stones for the next two draws respectively.
After the two draws, there would still be 210 standard Third Ring Magic Stones left to expand the Grande family’s industry and maintain the Grande Sage Army.
Upon leading the Grande Sage Army back to their camp appointed by the academy, Link announced the order to disband.
A ten-day paid vacation filled the entire army with immense excitement.
They were even happier than winning two Abyss Demon armies without any losses.
There was no choice; the commander’s performance was too dazzling. The three main battalions, the Personal Guard Army, and even the Servant Battalion, just needed to expand on the victory.
Truly, there wasn’t much room for them to show off their skills.
“Jasmine, come quick!”
After reporting to the academy and getting permission, Link immediately returned to his North District villa in Ravensmouth City.
Upon entering, Link hastily pulled Jasmine toward the second floor study.

His urgent manner made Jasmine quite anticipatory of what was to follow.
Steady now.
And then…
The scene replayed.
Link simply embraced her and took a deep breath.
“Hmph!”
After Link finished his breath, Jasmine forcefully stomped on her weird husband’s foot and walked out of the study with haughty charm.
Just you wait.
It’s not dark yet.
Wait till the dead of night, and you’ll know the fierceness of a wife who’s experienced the thrilling taste and then been forcibly abstinent for three months!
Link’s premonition was triggered, and he shivered.
He had a bad feeling but wasn’t quite clear what it was about.
At least it wasn’t a matter of life and death.
In the massive upheaval unseen for thousands of years, Jasmine Kidman had caught the wave just right. She was now a Third Level Wizard.
Her rate of advancement was even faster than Lanny Taylor, who possessed advance fifth rank qualifications.
Opportunity could be so unreasonable.
During her trip to the North Region, mixing and learning, Jasmine’s life-bound Spiritual Beast, the God Devouring Worm, had greatly benefited. Its developmental progress was significantly advanced, entering a growth phase.
The God Devouring Worm had two major attributes, Stealth and Prophecy.
It was precisely the Stealth attribute shared by the God Devouring Worm to Jasmine that made Link’s premonitions vague.
“Let’s just take it one step at a time.”
Link gave up on trying to investigate further when he vaguely sensed that Jasmine was the source of his unease.
Taking a deep breath, with a thought, he summoned the System.
Could he discern even a bit of the essence of the Krypton Card Drawing System this time?
Link had once thought that the System might be related to The Saint of Nostrodam.
“Draw.”
Clearing his mind of any distractions, Link mentally commanded.
The 110 standard Third Ring Magic Stones disappeared in a manner still elusive to Link, now a Fourth Level Sage.
The unadorned panel’s content changed.

Draw Count: 0 (1 Standard Fourth Level Magic Stone)
Two consecutive draws did not lead to a big win.
The Krypton Card Drawing System remained as cold as ever.
Link couldn’t discern the system’s operating mechanism, nor could he perceive its essence.
Three things on the panel were worth noting: “Status,” “Talent Sharing Card,” and “Talent Fusion Card.”
As for the Fourth-Ring witchcraft “Homeward Bound,” it was merely a pretentious name that Link, who fancied himself a literary soul in his previous life, had given his self-created teleportation witchcraft.
The so-called Unknown Bond status had been present since he came from the Human Immortal Martial World.
If Link was not mistaken, it was the “karma” he accrued after killing the White Lotus Saintess with the imitation Dharma Seals given to him by Mr. Xu Jing.
The effect of the “Talent Sharing Card” allowed Link to share one of his own talents with a designated person.
The “Talent Fusion Card” allowed for the merging of two talents.
After some consideration, Link decided to fuse the “Alchemy Talent” with the “Wizardry Talent.”
Theoretically, the “Alchemy Talent” and the “Material Talent” would have been the most suitable pairing.
But Link had his own considerations.
The Construction Wizard Sect, in essence, had been initiated, and its theoretical limit could reach the Great Sage Level.
However, to reach and even push beyond this theoretical limit, Link needed more accumulation.
This accumulation included, but was not limited to knowledge, resources, and talents.
The version 1.0 “Construction” could fundamentally be understood as an alternative form of alchemy, or as an innovative form of witchcraft.
Therefore, Link wanted to see if the product of the fusion of “Alchemy Talent” and “Wizardry Talent” could help further the development of the Construction Wizard Sect.
Moments later, the fusion was complete.
A new talent appeared, and an odd expression involuntarily crossed Link’s face.
“Alchemy Talent” + “Wizardry Talent” = “Mysterious Talent”!
This outcome made Link’s feelings extremely complex.
Could it be that the Krypton Card Drawing System really had something to do with the Mysterious Wizard Saint of Nostrodamus, long gone to oblivion?
If so, what did it mean that the Will of Wizard World favored him, having once taken the “Mind Closure Technique” and “Multi-Threading Thinking” Status Cards from the system’s hands?
Link thought for a while but couldn’t come up with any useful conclusion, so he decided not to dwell on it.
Too many lice are not ticklish.
After all, he was already bearing the “karma” of a Heavenly Master from a Parallel Universe, so he was not as eager to shake off the last resort left by the Saint of Nostrodamus as he had been before.
Focus on the present then, focus on improving oneself.
If one day he too could become a Saint, these matters would be trivial.
The subject for the “Talent Sharing Card” would naturally be Jasmine, who had already become his wife.
Night fell.
The deep silence of the night.
Jasmine flexed her female might, seeking to vent the irritation that had been provoked during the day.
Link, having just finished a battle that blazed like fire, decided to change tactics and aimed for a protracted struggle, valuing stillness like a mountain.
After a drawn-out, hard-fought battle, it was Jasmine who sounded retreat, surrendering graciously.
Having solidified his standing at home, Link did not forget his real business; he shared the newly fused “Mysterious Talent” with Jasmine.
Then, Link remembered he hadn’t yet used the “Twin Contract Card” he received from his last draw.
It would be perfect to use it on Jasmine as well.
After using it without hesitation, Link recalled the function of the “Twin Contract Card.”
After activating the “Twin” Contract Card, Link could designate one person to sign a “Twin” contract with temporarily.
The contract would be effective within the range covered by Link’s spiritual power projection.
Its duration varied depending upon how much spiritual power Link invested in the card at the time of its use.
During the “Twin” contract’s effective period and range, Link and the contracted individual were bound together in life and death, and could freely shift and exchange positions.
To extend the contract’s duration as much as possible, Link had infused it with the majority of his spiritual power in one go.
“Jasmine, you’re really fortunate,” Link said suddenly, holding the breathless Jasmine in his arms.
“What makes you say that?” she asked lazily, her head resting on Link’s right arm.
“Because you always manage to gain a little something extra!”
