Chapter 427: Blood Candy


Date- 28 Mar 2321


Time- 14:19


Location- Sky Blossom City, Foul Woods D-rank gate dungeon


“Where are we headed next? I want to make a quick stop by Bloodette’s place.” Cortney asked, heading out of the Foul Woods gate dungeon.


“Sure, lead the way.” Having dealt with Zhang and his nephew. I decided to meet up with my other Calamity Daughter Core and upgrade them to Calamity Daughter gem. Namely the Bright brothers, Vivian, Ted, and Old Ben. So I did not mind making another stop for Cortney as I also wanted to meet Bloodette. The last time we met, Bloodette’s body was under the influence of the World; I hope the second meeting goes well.


“That will have to wait for now. We have to return to the warehouse. I have received a notification that the Memirconium Ore will soon be delivered to your warehouse. I have to be there to receive it.” Luna wanted us to return to the warehouse so that she could receive the Memirconium Ore that is to be dropped off there soon.


“Can’t Anna or Lorenzo receive it? Or drop it off at the doorstep?” I still had errands to run and did not want to return to the warehouse without completing them.


“No, I opted for the super special delivery, so I need to be there to receive it,” Luna said there was no other option.


“So, you head to the warehouse. After we are done with our errands and visiting Bloodette, we will return to the warehouse.” I did not want to make a round trip just for Luna.


“That’s out of the question. I am your bodyguard. You need to stay with me.” Luna a.s.serted.


“Isn’t that the other way around?” Asked Cortney.


“Luna, don’t be unreasonable. I have errands to run. You know the route. Return by yourself.” I said impatiently


“No, I need you there. So that you can a.n.a.lyze the Memirconuim Ore and tell me the maximum height of Mecha you can make using that ore. So that I can place a bulk order of the ore.” Luna revealed the truth about why she wanted me at the warehouse.


The creation method of Memirconuim Ore is a bit peculiar and very recent. So the production method has not been optimized for maximum efficiency. Because of this, large orders take a long time to be processed and delivered. Therefore Luna wanted to place an order as soon as possible, which would be only possible if Wyatt specified the amount of ore he needed to create the mecha.


“I can do that when I return.” Saying that, I summoned my Nanamorpher. Following my lead, Cortney also summoned her hoverbike.


“But…” Luna wanted to argue that I should return to the warehouse with her.


*Swish* *Swish* Not waiting to listen to what Luna had to say, Cortney and I left on our hoverbikes.


“Cortney, lead the way. Let’s visit Bloodette first.” I have DMed the Bright Brothers, Vivien, Ted, and Old Ben to meet me at the guild a.s.sociation mall after exiting the Foul Woods gate dungeon. Considering how I just informed them about the meeting. It will be a while for each of them to reach the rendezvous point. Therefore I decided to meet Bloodette with Cortney first.


“Ok, but before visiting her, we will have to make a stop at a bakery and restock on blood pudding.” Cortney had a storage trunk full of blood pudding, but she thought that would not be enough as an apology.


“So you plan on bribing your friend into forgiving you.” I commented, hearing Cortney wanted to make a stop at a bakery to buy Blood pudding.


“Yeah, Bloodette loves blood pudding, but interestingly, she hates blood wine.” Cortney thought that Bloodette would love anything made out of blood, so she offered her Blood wine, but it turns out she hated it.


“Blood Wine is created by fermenting monster blood. For Bloodette, whose diet is blood, feeding her Blood wine would be like feeding humans rotten food.” This is true for the monsters that feed on blood. I suppose the same is valid for Bloodette, whose diet is also blood.


“Wow, no wonder.” Finally, understanding why Bloodette hated blood wine but loved blood pudding, Cortney exclaimed in understanding.



“Boss, double the usual order of the blood pudding.” Cortney seemed to be regular at this bakery.


“Little girl, tell me all of this is not just for you because that much sugar with monster blood will kill you.” The Owner added a friendly reminder to his regular and best customer. Because if she dies of heart disease caused by too much sugar, he will lose a wealthy customer.


“Don’t worry. It is not for me.” Cortney replied to the chief baker handing him a storage trunk card.


“Young man, do you want anything?” The Chief baker turned to me.


“50 liters of fresh monster blood.” Since I was about to visit Cortney’s friend, I did not plan on going empty-handed.


“Huh?… ” Baker was surprised to hear my order.


“You do have fresh monster blood, don’t you? Since you sell blood pudding and blood wine, I thought you would have fresh monster blood.” Seeing how Bloodette’s diet is blood, I thought what would be an appropriate gift for her than freshly collected monster’s blood.


“We do. I just restocked all my ingredients. But I only have F-rank monster blood. My shop is not big enough to use higher-rank monster’s blood as ingredients. 220$ for 50 liters of F-rank monster blood. Will that be all?” Reported the Chief Baker. Like he said the bakery was not that fancy enough to get customers who would be willing to pay top dollars for delicacies made using high-ranking monster blood.


“Yes, that will be enough.” I said, scanning the QR code on the bakery counter to pay the bill. Obviously, Cortney paid for her bulk order of blood pudding.



Soon the Baker brought out a 50-liter jar filled with dark red monster blood, placing it in front of me. He handed Cortney her storage trunk card.


“Are you going to carry it?” The 50-liter jar of monster blood would not fit in an average storage trunk card, so Cortney couldn’t help but ask, not knowing how I planned to transport it.


“Watch and learn.” Saying that, I opened the cap of the jar and summoned Blood Swordsman, then pointing at the monster blood jar, I commanded it, ” Use Blood Candy.”


*Blood Candy* Following my command, the Blood Ego Elemental manipulated the monster’s blood out of the 50-liter jar and then condensed all of the monster’s blood into an aspherical ball of blood.


Then it spun the spherical ball of blood at high speed until it turned completely black. Soon the Ego elemental extracted the black waste covering the pure condensed blood and disposed of it. With all the waste removed, what remained was a bright red spherical ball made up of pure monster blood.


The ego elemental spun the bright red spherical ma.s.s of pure monster blood. After a few minutes, the blood thickened and looked like blood mercury. This was not because of clotting in the blood. Instead, the blood was so thick because it was highly concentrated.


Using the concentrated blood, the ego elemental started to create small spherical candies of blood. As the elemental was done compressing half of the condensed blood into 1000 blood candies, I asked it to stop because I had other plans for the other half of the pure concentrated blood.
