D-29's lecture on the history of the Empire got Luca thinking about his future plans. He would be lying if he said he wasn't alarmed at the new discovery.
And in his 'slight' panic, Luca felt the need to down a few stamina and spiritual power recovery pills.
Yes, he took more than one.
His reasoning was that he had no plans of perishing because he suddenly couldn't replenish his body with enough energy.
This was after getting a cartoonized lecture on Spiritual Power Imbalance.
When D-29 told him about it, his initial reaction was to compare it to a rampage because the end result was similar.
However, according to D-29, the interstellar people likened it to an infection.
You get infected when your natural defenses, a.k.a. Your spiritual powers, are depleted while exposed to this infection.
Technically, this should been preventable if people never reach the depletion point.
But they do.
Although it's possible to prevent it during peaceful times, many soldiers become infected after being depleted in the middle of a battle.
What else would they expect when all they relied on were their innate and un-upgraded spiritual powers?
Luca felt dizzy every time he thought about how the people of this era would eventually run out of their innate energies at the rate at which they used their powers.
Considering the decline in the population's spiritual energy, Luca was horrified to learn that most things were actually operated with spiritual power.
Even the doors in their school were authenticated with one's spiritual energy! No wonder the Duke considered the original Luca's constitution a major problem.
The original owner wouldn't even be able to open doors!
And now that he knew about the dwindling energy, Luca couldn't even bring himself to operate things.
D-29 found it a bit odd because its host clearly had an abundant supply of spiritual energy but was even more concerned than the actual natives.
"That's because they don't know what it's supposed to be like. And most probably have no idea that they're facing a crisis of epic proportions."
As someone who's always lived on the edge of life and death, Luca was practically a doomsayer.
As soon as he discovered the problem, Luca considered earning a bit more money before hiding away. Once the body double comes, Luca will be able to look for a good home.
That should be the safest way.
One person and a system joined hands to prepare for tomorrow's restock, not that there were many things to prepare with how convenient the new inventory system was.
Luca just had to pick apples similar to the original ones they sold because they looked normal enough. In contrast, the ones close to the size of a baby's head should probably be kept hidden.
Unbeknownst to the budding businessman, people from all over the Empire still clamored for more fruits.
This would be especially true for the Empire's Military. They were being covert, not wanting to alarm more people about the existence of hope. Especially when they still haven't found traces of the elusive fruit vendor. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Since the appearance of that online shop, Deputy Officer Curtis's emotions had been on a roller-coaster ride. The remaining apples they bought were distributed to the soldiers as instructed by the Marshal and the Crown Prince.
And they worked miracles.
