"So, we increasingly think that Black Rain might have some very serious issues."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Then how did you cultivate those Awakeners...?"
Miaomiao smiled gently and explained, "Because, later we found a turning point."
She said, "That is the 'Unfair Trade' experience card available in the Devil's Exchange, which has a special ability."
"This ability allows you to trade with any creature, and the trade can include, but is not limited to: physical strength, energy, lifespan, Martial Skills, Awakening Abilities, and so on."
"Once we discovered this ability in the Devil's Exchange, we immediately took notice of it!"
"We believed, Black Rain might have side effects, but these side effects would only affect those who were drenched by the Black Rain and not hide dangers within the Awakening Ability itself."
"So, we thought that if we 'washed' the Black Rain's ability with this ability, it's very likely that the side effects would remain with the person who got wet, while our own Believers would only receive the abilities and not the side effects."
"That way, haven't we obtained an endless production line of abilities and mass cultivated Awakeners?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Ze was completely dumbfounded!
Wow! Are these girls exploiting a bug here! Is this even possible?
But then, upon giving it some thought, he thought this plan could really be feasible!
Because, this move... was too clever!
It left the side effects with others while gaining abilities!
However, thinking about this, Fang Ze immediately felt puzzled again.
He thought something was still not right.
He indeed had hung up his own abilities' One-Day Experience Cards in the Devil's Exchange to paint a grand vision for his own Believers.
But he also remembered that the prices for his abilities' experience cards were very high.
Such as the Unfair Trade experience card, costing a staggering 2000 Contribution Points.
To know, a Shadow Warrior only contributes 20 points. A basic defensive treasure only 10 Contribution Points. The 'Unfair Trade One-Day Experience Card' alone was equivalent to 100 Shadow Warriors and 200 defensive treasures.
Miaomiao and Zhixi, with their reward for establishing an outpost in Miaohua City, had only gained 10 points. Where did they get so many Contribution Points to buy the experience card!
Not knowing if she guessed Fang Ze's thoughts, Miaomiao smiled adorably and then said, "I sold my 'Darkness' Awakening Ability! Sold it to the Devil's Exchange! I gained a total of 80,000 Contribution Points!"
At that moment, Fang Ze was shocked. He hastily and discreetly opened the Devil's Exchange, and sure enough, there lay a 'Darkness' ability quietly in the Devil's Exchange's inventory.
This meant Miaomiao wasn't lying! She had indeed sold her ability completely through the Devil's Exchange!
As per the rules of the Devil's Exchange, Fang Ze actually just paid out 80,000 of a valueless 'currency' and acquired a noble-level ability.
This shocked Fang Ze about the combined power of his abilities and also about the boldness and loyalty of the two girls!
These two girls had truly devoted themselves to him wholeheartedly.
To develop their own forces, they truly put even themselves at stake!
While Fang Ze was thinking this, suddenly, he seemed to hear some different voices from Miaomiao's heart...
He paused for a moment, then with a puzzled look at Miaomiao, he asked tentatively, "Aren't you worried about not being able to regain such a powerful ability after selling yours?"
Miaomiao slightly put her hands on her hips and replied, "Zhixi said! What I did was not a sale but a 'pawn' of it, to gain some Contribution Points for liquidity!"
"And we can gain Contribution Points by establishing outposts; theoretically, helping Mr. Devil cultivate Awakener Believers should also provide rewards—and probably not low ones!"
"So, we just need to control the borrowing costs and increase the number of Awakener Believers. Then, it's very likely that we won't lose money but instead make money!"
"After all, the use time of the experience card is 24 hours. That's enough for us to borrow abilities twice!"
"We have now developed over 1000 Believers. In one day, we should be able to trade four hundred abilities!"
"By estimating 10 Contribution Points per Awakener, we could earn 4000 Contribution Points. After subtracting the costs, we could each pocket 750 Contribution Points!"
So, you're not only exploiting Garo's bug but also mine?
Fang Ze felt... that the naive and kind Miaomiao he once knew was gone. Hmm... Definitely led astray by Zhixi!
While thinking this, Fang Ze teased her, "Aren't you worried that after selling your ability, you won't be able to buy it back? Or that it may cost more to buy back?"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao suddenly looked pitifully solemn, and said, "Zhixi also said. All of this is for the organization to develop better."
"Mr. Devil and the Messenger will not let us suffer losses!"
It was done, Fang Ze felt Miaomiao was completely led astray by Zhixi. This series of schemes, one after another, was simply a chain of plans!
Luckily, Fang Ze confirmed through the inner voices that these were all Zhixi's ideas and Miaomiao had learned each one from her, otherwise Fang Ze might truly believe that Miaomiao had changed.
