After finishing her practice, Kisha had accumulated a sizable stack of slave contracts.
However, she couldn’t find any practical use for them within her base.
To her, the contracts seemed almost laughable, as they didn’t appear particularly effective or impactful.
Yet, at the same time, she felt it would be a waste to simply discard them. Determined, she began contemplating ways to put them to good use.
"Host, we can sell them in the sales channel as you originally planned," 008 suggested cheerfully.
"Do you really think anyone would buy these when the punishments look more like a prank than an actual penalty for a slave contract?" Kisha grumbled, pouting as she eyed the stack of contracts.
The sight of the punishment clauses made her feel utterly defeated.
She couldn’t decide whether to laugh at the absurdity of it all or cry at her current predicament. "It’s so embarrassing," she muttered under her breath.
"Host, there are plenty of younger customers out there, and these contracts have a quirky, playful appeal. They might actually want to buy them to keep their playmates in check and prevent things from getting too out of hand," 008 said with a mischievous giggle.
Kisha furrowed her brow, unsure whether 008 was genuinely serious or just poking fun at her.
Kisha let out a long sigh, scrunching her nose in mild frustration.
"Alright, fine. Do what you want with them since I can’t even use these contracts in the base for now," she said, her tone bordering on a complaint.
Still, she knew there wasn’t much else she could do at her current skill level.
To make any real progress, she’d need to reach the intermediate rank as an inscriber.
"Actually, Host," 008 interjected, its voice tinged with pride, "with your current progress, you already have a 99.99% success rate in inscribing."
"That’s practically unheard of, and it’s why your progress has been so rapid. Once you hit 100%, you’ll automatically be promoted to the intermediate level. Honestly, no one from the fantasy world has achieved this level of efficiency before."
008’s tone grew smug, almost arrogant, as it emphasized Kisha’s unprecedented success rate compared to others.
"So, if my calculations are correct, even if we sell these contracts in my sales channel at lower prices, we’ll still make a small profit and recover the material costs," 008 said, its tone gleeful.
"Hehe, and it’s all thanks to your remarkable success rate!"
"Typically, newbie inscribers waste thousands of resources before making any significant progress or producing a usable inscribed text," 008 continued, its voice brimming with pride.
"The average success rate for beginners is only around 30% to 75%. And believe me, hitting 75% is already considered a monumental achievement that many strive for but rarely reach."
"Is that so?" Kisha muttered, still a bit skeptical.
However, she couldn’t deny that her results had been impressive so far.
It was surprising to learn how low the usual success rate was, and it made her accomplishments feel even more significant.
"Well, while inscribing might sound easy, it’s far from it," 008 explained.
"In the fantasy world, it’s known as ’inscribing,’ but in the Murim world, it’s called ’talisman-making.’"
"Although there are differences between the two, the line separating them is quite thin. Surprisingly, the level of difficulty is similar in both practices, and only those with real talent can truly excel at it."
"Once you’re promoted to an intermediate inscriber, we’ll need to upgrade your materials," 008 began, its voice tinged with excitement.
