Skill Upgrade
After a flash of white light, the dean and Elena returned to the Royal Magic Academy.
Stepping on the familiar land and smelling the familiar air, Elena was obviously much more relaxed.
The dean noticed Elena's relaxation and said with a smile, "Don't be too nervous. Whether you believe in religion or not, and which righteous god you believe in, is your own choice. No one can force you."
She went through an important stage together with the dean, and the dean argued with His Majesty List for her. He helped her and protected her. Elena's feelings for the dean suddenly became much closer, and it was no longer just a feeling of familiarity yet distance as when facing the class teacher.
"Yes, I know. I will choose carefully." Elena nodded heavily, then smiled playfully and blinked, "Actually, I prefer exploring the rules of magic."
The dean also smiled; he understood what she meant.
"By the way, this experience of fighting against the Fallen Angel is very rare, especially since it involves extremely high-level anchor point issues. When you return, you must study and comprehend it carefully. I hope you can take this opportunity to touch the fundamental laws of magic." The dean looked at Elena with a kind and expectant expression.
Elena was slightly stunned. The high expectations that the dean had not expressed but existed in reality made her feel pressured. However, she was surprisingly not opposed to it because she knew that the dean was doing it for her own good.
She hadn't felt this kind of pure "for her own good" for a long time.
Elena's eyes felt a little sore.
"Yes, I will." Elena nodded and quickly blinked away the tears in her eyes, "I will try my best."
After saying goodbye to the dean, I returned to the town of Fussen and the Viscount's Mansion.
Elena felt relieved.
It’s still fun to be in your own territory.
She doesn't want to travel far anymore, especially to strange places, she never wants to go there again.
After going through hardships and returning successfully, Elena doesn't want to do anything now. She just wants to take a vacation and lie down.
She instructed the housekeeper to tell everyone not to disturb her these days, no matter which business they were in, as she wanted to have a good rest.
However, after only two days in bed, Elena received bad news.
The partner of Rainbow Dessert Shop may need to be changed.
"What's going on?" Elena looked at the person in front of her, waiting for an answer.
Standing next to Elena was the accountant of Rainbow Dessert Shop, Pine. He was the person Elena sent to manage the accounts. After hearing the news, he immediately came back to report to his master.
Pine recounted the events of the Rainbow Dessert Shop in detail.
Todd, who opened the Rainbow Dessert Shop with Elena, is a nobleman, but he is not the heir to the title. He is just a collateral branch of the family.
According to the common practice in the aristocratic circle, aristocratic children who are not the first heirs need to rely on themselves to develop their own future direction. In layman's terms, they need to find a way out for themselves. The family and parents will also provide assistance, but not too much.
If the second and youngest sons of the direct line are like this, what about the children of the collateral line?
After graduating from college, Todd will have to rely on his own abilities to find a way to maintain a decent life.
Todd has musical talent and has gained a good social status by virtue of his identity as a musician.
His family also gave him help and set up a restaurant in the royal capital and asked him to run it.
However, this kind of support is not a gift. The restaurant is still a family business, not Todd's personal business. Todd is only the manager of the restaurant.
Todd runs the restaurant with all his heart, but the competition in the royal capital is fierce. Todd's restaurant does not have an outstanding chef, nor does it have commendable service and environment, so the restaurant can only maintain a balance between income and expenditure.
Later, Todd ate the snacks brought by his friend, and got to know Elena through his friend. He then used his sincerity to win over Elena and opened a dessert shop with her.
The dessert shop became an instant hit and became a rising star in the royal capital.
Because the restaurant was next to a dessert shop, it attracted a lot of customers and its business became booming.
Todd succeeded and reached a peak in his career.
Todd's diligent management resulted in impressive book performance for the restaurant, which quickly attracted the attention of the family.
The Todd family not only saw the good performance of the restaurant, but also saw the huge potential of Rainbow Dessert Shop. After knowing that Rainbow Dessert Shop was not only renting the restaurant's area, but Todd was also one of the partners of the dessert shop, they became even more interested.
Isn't it that Todd became a partner because he was the manager of the restaurant?
But the restaurant is not his personal property. He is taking advantage of the restaurant and relying on his family's resources to make money for himself.
It will be the same if you change someone else.
"Mr. Todd said he would step down after this quarter's profit distribution is completed," said Pine.
The whole story was explained clearly, but Elena was still confused.
"I don't understand. The cooperation agreement Todd and I signed was clearly signed by him personally. How could it be related to his family? Although the restaurant is his family's business, the Rainbow Dessert Shop only rents a part of the area, and the operating rights have nothing to do with it. Can the landlord interfere in the tenant's business?" Elena really couldn't understand.
Pine explained: "Although it was Mr. Todd who signed the cooperation agreement, he can transfer the equity."
Elena: ...She forgot that this was possible.
"Can I buy his shares first?" Elena asked. "I remember there was a clause in the agreement."
Pine replied: "This is an agreed clause, not a mandatory clause. The purchase can only be made on the premise that Mr. Todd is willing."
In other words, if Todd was willing to sell it to his family, Elena would not be able to object.
Elena: ...Ah, this is so upsetting.
Elena asked again: "Do you know who will take over?"
"Mr. Todd said that nothing has been decided yet. There are two contenders competing right now, one is Mr. Todd's uncle and the other is Mr. Todd's cousin," Pine said.
Elena frowned.
She doesn't want to get involved in other people's family disputes, but she also doesn't want anyone to interfere in her dessert shop.
Todd is a good partner. He doesn't interfere with the accounts, doesn't take supplies, doesn't monopolize purchases, and doesn't randomly place people. She is quite satisfied with the cooperation over the past few months. What if she replaces him with someone else, what if that person is greedy and stupid?
Elena doesn't like trouble.
"We have no control over whether they want to change people or not, but if they want to change partners and let someone else interfere in the affairs of Rainbow Dessert Shop, I cannot tolerate it." Elena tapped her fingers on the table again and again, fully showing her unhappiness.
Elena thought about it and decided to use her destiny prediction.
"You go down first, I'll think about it." Elena sent Pine away casually.
The door was closed, and Elena was the only one in the office.
With a snap of the fingers, the prediction of destiny begins.
A high-definition 4K image suddenly appeared in front of Elena. She saw herself standing in Todd's restaurant. The extremely clear picture quality scared her.
It was only standard definition before, why is it high definition 4K this time?
In addition to the high-definition picture quality, Elena also discovered more differences. She heard the voices of the guests and the waiters in the restaurant, she smelled the aroma of steak sauce, and she also felt the difference in temperature. The temperature in the royal capital was several degrees lower than that in the town of Fussen.
Elena:???
No, how could her five senses be so real?
Predicting fate is just "seeing" and "hearing", but why does she feel like she is there now?
Elena was wondering when she saw Todd coming towards her.
"I'm so sorry to bother you to come here in person," Todd said apologetically.
Elena nodded, thinking that she was lucky today and won in one try.
She followed Todd to the office on the second floor.
The feeling of walking up the stairs was also very real; the stretching of her muscles and the touch of her feet were no different from when she actually walked up the stairs.
Elena touched the handrail and felt the coolness of the metal in her palm.
This time the prediction of fate was truly unexpected.
In the office, Elena met a middle-aged, slightly plump man.
"Elena, this is my cousin, Harlan." Todd introduced her.
Elena nodded slightly to Harlan.
In this foreknowledge of fate, Elena had a real conversation with Harun. She could control the "her" in the foreknowledge to say what she wanted to say and ask the questions she wanted to ask, and Harun would respond to her.
Elena learned more information from Harun. Harun was the third son of the head of the family. He was mainly responsible for the family's catering industry and was considered Todd's boss. He had confidence and ideas to make the Rainbow Dessert Shop bigger and better. He even thought about which streets to open branches.
Elena likes this kind of ambitious partner, but she cares more about whether the new partner abides by the rules.
But based on her first impression, Elena couldn't tell what kind of business character Mr. Harun had, so she decided to find someone to check him out.
I don’t know why the precognitive time this time was particularly long. The high-definition image disappeared only when Elena wanted to exit the precognitive state.
Elena:???
It feels so strange, could it be that her "foreseeing fate" skill has been upgraded?
Elena opened the game system and checked the character status.
I haven't opened it for a long time. She is busy organizing the territory and expanding the industry every day. I don't know what level her character has been upgraded to?
Hey, it's already level 66! Elena was surprised.
Elena opened the skill panel. Three rows of skills were already lit up on the skill panel. Dozens of spell skills that she had learned in the game before and that she was learning in the remedial class were all lit up on the skill panel.
It's neat and tidy, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.
Elena browsed through the rows one by one, and saw her trump card skills at the bottom, space crossing and destiny prediction.
The proficiency of space crossing is LV30, and the proficiency of destiny prediction is LV70.
LV70!
Is the difference so big? Elena was shocked.
After being surprised, Elena thought slowly and gradually sorted out the clues.
The low proficiency in spatial spanning is probably due to the low frequency of use.
The reason why she has such a high proficiency in foreknowledge of fate is not only because she uses it frequently, but also because of the previous level of exploring the secrets of the underground palace. At that time, she used up her magic power until her blue bar was almost depleted. However, these foresights of fate did change her fate and her inevitable death.
Frequent use, feedback, and changing destiny are the reasons why "Foreknowledge of Destiny" greatly improves proficiency.
Elena seemed to understand.
By the way, now that fate prediction has reached LV70, can I now predict specific events?
Snap, another snap of the fingers, Elena was thinking of something in her mind.
In the picture, a piece of paper is opened with the number "43" on it.
Elena exited the precognitive state and rang the bell to summon the old butler.
"Harold, just write a number, don't write it here, go out and write it, and then bring it back to me." Elena said to the old housekeeper.
Although the old butler was puzzled, he did not ask any questions. He left the office and came back a minute later with a small tray in his hand, on which was a piece of paper.
Elena took the note, unfolded it, and saw the number "43".
She smiled. As expected, after the upgrade, she could indeed predict designated events.
"Okay, it's okay, you can go out." Elena said to the old housekeeper with a smile.
Lao Jiajia left in confusion.
Elena decided to try further.
Her previous predictions of fate could only see the next three days, but now she wants to try and see if she can see a longer-term future.
Elena closed her eyes and concentrated on calming herself.
Snap, a snap of fingers.
Snap, another snap of fingers.
Snap, another snap of the fingers.
After many experiments, Elena finally got the answer. She could see the scenes of the next 20 days.
Elena opened her beautiful and dazzling emerald eyes. At this moment, her eyes were shining, like the ripples on the emerald lake, dazzling and charming.
