Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 176 - 139 Growth of Aivensa_1

"Today’s negotiations shall come to an end here, I hope we each achieve our desires and obtain what we need," Lord Virginia extended her delicate, jade-like hand once more.

Gaven lightly clasped Lord Virginia’s hand and nodded emphatically, "May we each achieve our desires and obtain what we need."

Today, he had shaken hands with Lord Virginia four times.

The first three times had brought him great benefits, and he hoped that this time would be the same.

If that were the case, he would have no choice but to hold onto this hand and never let go.

Unfortunately, this time it was simply a pure celebration and blessing, and no abnormalities occurred again.

No, that wasn’t quite right, there was a slight anomaly, at the moment of the handshake, Gaven clearly felt Lord Virginia’s inner joy, and he reckoned she must have felt his too; it was a tingling, electrifying feeling that went straight to the heart.

The green tide surged again, and Gaven’s consciousness returned to its nest, unable to help but stand up and stretch his limbs.

In the sea of consciousness, many things appear to be real, but eventually, they differ from reality, especially that solid, down-to-earth sensation.

The soft and delicate feeling in his left hand was something he never had in his sea of consciousness, compelling one to fondle it, and he did so subconsciously.

After doing so, he realized that it was inappropriate.

Looking up, he saw a blush flutter across Lord Virginia’s snow-white cheeks, her eyes held a hint of shyness, yet she did not pull away. Instead, her gaze seemed to wander, as if a pool of unmeltable spring water bubbled within, almost submerging Gaven’s soul once again.

Gaven quickly released her hand, thinking to himself, this must be an illusion, definitely an illusion.

It must be an aftereffect of the mingling of souls.

However, as he let go, that pool of spring water turned into a look of wistful longing, nearly causing Gaven to lose his composure and almost made him take her hand back; doing so would have led to a significant misunderstanding.

If someone were to tell Gaven now that Lord Virginia had a naiad’s blood in her, he would believe it.

Awooo!

The young Red Copper Dragon let out a crisp dragon chant, drawing everyone’s attention to it.

Aivensa had completed her first inner observation and awakened.

Whether she obtained any other benefits was unknown for the moment, but her size had definitely grown by two sizes, from what was originally a standard medium size to now almost reaching a large size.

In the Toril Plane, size classification has standard definitions, divided into ten categories: Tiny, Diminutive, Fine, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, Colossal, Colossal Plus.

Fine: Height or length under 1.8 centimeters, weight not exceeding 0.05 kilograms.

Diminutive: Height or length 1.8 - 33 centimeters, weight from 0.05 to 0.5 kilograms.

Tiny: Height or length 33 centimeters to 0.6 meters, weight from 0.5 to 4 kilograms.

Small: Height or length 0.6 to 1.2 meters, weight from 4 to 30 kilograms.

Medium: Height or length 1.2 to 2.5 meters, weight from 30 to 250 kilograms.

Large: Height or length 2.5 to 5 meters, weight from 250 to 2000 kilograms.

Huge: Height or length 5 to 10 meters, weight from 2000 to 16000 kilograms.

Gargantuan: Height or length 10 to 20 meters, weight from 16000 to 125000 kilograms.

Colossal: Height or length 20 to 40 meters, weight from 125000 to 250000 kilograms.

Colossal Plus: Height or length over 40 meters, weight over 250000 kilograms.

The above are theoretical values.

Mainly it depends on height and length, with weight being relatively less important, because there can be a huge disparity between different creatures.

For example, Wind Element creatures and Earth Element creatures, of the same size category, can differ in weight by hundreds of times.

Because of magic and professional levels, power does not necessarily correlate to size.

But for dragons, power is often linked to size; the bigger the size, it means the dragon is older, and its strength and constitution are more robust, thus more powerful.

The Young Red Copper Dragon certainly didn’t age rapidly because of her inner observation, she merely replenished the elements in her body, adjusting herself to the optimal state for her current age.

This sort of thing is most obviously observed through attribute observation. Gaven couldn’t help but use the Dragon’s Sight Glasses to check Aivensa’s current condition.

Medium Dragonkin (Earth)

Hit Points: 87 (Life Dice: 9d12+27)

Attributes: Strength 16, Dexterity 11, Constitution 16, Intelligence 12, Perception 13, Charisma 14.

Compared to last time, Hit Points +9, Strength +2, Dexterity +1, Constitution +2, Charisma +1.

Although the gains of the Young Red Copper Dragon weren’t as potent as Susie’s all-around +2 Attributes.

But they are two completely different species, and the difficulty of their growth varies, so you can’t generalize.

At least the Young Red Copper Dragon was very satisfied with the haul this time and was in high spirits. Realizing that Gaven was peeking at her attributes with the Dragon’s Sight Glasses, she not only refrained from showing the dissatisfaction she had last time, but rather wagged her tail, struck a runway pose, and proudly showcased her gains to Gaven.

Often, it’s sharing your gains that brings a greater sense of achievement. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"It seems that Lord Aivensa, you’ve made quite a bounty this time. Susie, how much Spirit Container did Lord Aivensa use altogether?" Gaven turned to ask Susie.

While handing back the bag of Spirit Container, Susie respectfully replied, "A total of fifteen pieces. Lord Aivensa was using them up so quickly that I had to replenish them twice."

"These Spirit Containers, each one has a market value of around one thousand Gold Coins, and that’s just calculating the value of the Spirit Crystal Stone, excluding the Psychic Power Points infused. Considering our relationship, I won’t charge for that. Let’s settle it for fifteen thousand Gold Coins in total, and we’ll deduct it from your commission," Gaven laid out the account in front of the Young Red Copper Dragon, never missing a chance to squeeze money out of Aivensa.

"Ah... Fifteen thousand Gold Coins, why don’t you just rob someone?" The originally spirited Young Red Copper Dragon’s face fell at once. "No, that’s not acceptable. I didn’t ask you to use them; this is basically coercion."

"Okay, if we don’t count this time, next time we encounter the same situation, even if I have Spirit Container with me, I absolutely won’t give you a single piece," Gaven was not so easily mollified.

Once Gold Coins entered Aivensa’s hands, they were basically impossible to claw back from her, even under the guise of various financial investments or money-making schemes.

The best method is to suppress, as far as possible, the amount that goes in—reasonable suppression, which is not necessarily a bad way of dragon taming.

"Sister Virginia, can you believe there is such an audacious servant in this world?" Aivensa transformed into her human form and ran to Lord Virginia for help, pleading in a pitiful tone, "I barely have any commission to begin with, and yet he’s always thinking of squeezing more out of me. I suspect his heart is black."

The scene before her made Lord Virginia feel somewhat amused. She had never seen such an odd relationship before; perhaps this was their harmonious way of getting along.

But since Aivensa was pestering her, she couldn’t just ignore it and played the mediator, "This is a domestic issue between you two, and I shouldn’t interfere. However, since you used someone else’s property, it’s only right that you pay. But, Lord Gaven, if you always itemize expenses so clearly, isn’t it a bit hurtful to the feelings?"

"Exactly, exactly! It really does hurt the feelings. Given our relationship, can’t you just not charge money?" The Young Red Copper Dragon was selectively obedient, listening only to the parts that were favorable to her.

"If that’s what you’re saying, given our relationship, then you shouldn’t be taking a commission," Gaven retorted with a taste of her own medicine.

"That won’t do, each matter should be dealt with separately." Aivensa’s eyes whirled around as she hatched other cunning plans. "We agreed beforehand that there’s a battle fee to pay for fighting. Let these coins cover the battle fee from our previous fight with the big beetle."

"No, that fight with the big beetle wasn’t commissioned by me, but by Lord Virginia. You had already received a hiring gift at the beginning, so you can’t come to me for a second commission," Gaven was not so easily fooled.

Seeing that the Young Dragon still wanted to wrangle her way out of paying, Gaven took the initiative, "Lord Virginia is right, after all, we are family. I’ll give you a friendly discount, waive five thousand Gold Coins. If you still won’t accept it, then even that discount will be gone."

"Alright! Alright! Alright! You’re ruthless." Aivensa huffed, crinkling her petite nose, and her rosy cheeks drooped a bit. It was a painful loss of ten thousand Gold Coins, and even the joy brought about by her growth was significantly dampened.

"Don’t be too upset just yet, there’s another piece of good news for you." Gaven threw out a bombshell, "Lord Virginia has allied with us and agreed to help us build a teleportation gate that leads directly here. Where do you think would be the best place to build it?"

"A teleportation gate, leading to here?" Aivensa’s voice rose three octaves.

Not only her, but the other two gnolls’ ears had shot up as well, their eyes gleaming brightly, directly leading to the portal here.

Doesn’t that mean that whenever they have time, they can come here to worship and train?

Just the thought was enough to make them shiver with excitement.

Aivensa leaped and bounded over to Gaven, shaking his hand and said, "Put it in my dragon’s nest, I’ll guard it for you for free, haha... I knew it, Gaven is the most capable, Gaven is the best to me..."

"Put it in your dragon’s nest, and you’re going to let others use it? Or do you mean you’d allow others to come and go from your dragon’s nest?" Gaven said with irritation, "You can’t thank me for this, when the time comes, we will rely on Lord Virginia to build it for us."

"You should thank her, Sister Virginia needs to be thanked as well," Aivensa giggled and ran back to Virginia’s side, "It’s no wonder you’re my second favorite person. With this, I can come to visit you often."

It was then that Gaven threw out his own idea, "How about building this portal in a castle above the dragon’s nest? It would be convenient for you to use and would allow others to enter and exit."

When Lord Virginia proposed that a portal could be built, Gaven had already begun considering potential construction sites.

His options were limited, with only three locations to choose from: Eagle Cliff Burrow, Blackwell, and the pit.

The pit was immediately ruled out; it was part of Blackwell’s strategic depth, a true sleeper asset, with high levels of secrecy, not suitable for the large-scale comings and goings of gnolls.

That left only a choice between two options.

Blackwell, although it was his place of establishment that held a certain special sentiment,

sentiments alone can’t be eaten, especially when it comes to matters of future development.

Comparatively, Eagle Cliff Burrow clearly had the geographical advantage, especially since the gnolls had been operating it for centuries, turning it into a multi-dimensional fortress. With just a little modification, it could become a multi-dimensional stronghold.

Most importantly, the young red copper dragon’s lair was here.

Recently, Gaven had been spending more time in Eagle Cliff Burrow, significantly more than in the Blackwell Tribe.

Any perceptive person could see that Eagle Cliff Burrow was gradually taking over the administrative center role from Blackwell.

Gaven had another reason not to choose Blackwell.

The trade there was too heavy, with a mix of complex personnel. As trade continually expanded, it would only get more complex. Placing the portal there would make it more prone to being spied upon by outsiders.

Yet, this matter was ultimately at Aivensa’s doorstep and required her consent.

"Great, great, great, let’s settle on this," the young red copper dragon’s little schemes were firmly grasped by Gaven, with ups and downs following his train of thought, "When does the construction of the portal begin?"
