My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start-Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Merchant’s Arrival and Expansion

[Light-type combat aura]

[Effects: emits a strong light, sealing off the vision of masters of the same level. It has a suppressive effect on combat aura other than dark-type combat aura. During the day, the strength of combat aura increases tenfold. The light emitted can produce photosynthesis, increasing the growth speed of crops by 50%]

[Additional effects: disassemble (can be disassembled into water and fire-type combat aura), weapon of light (the light can be changed into any shape of weapon)]

Watson stared at the golden armor on his body and a row of small glowing words appeared in his eyes.

After grasping the water and fire battle aura, he wondered if the two types of battle aura could be fused together. After trying it out, he discovered that it was indeed the case.

“As expected of the light element, which is one of the strongest of all elements. If one’s battle prowess increases tenfold during the day, doesn’t that mean that a light-element Bronze-tier warrior can barely contend against an ordinary Silver-tier warrior?”

After a sigh, Watson activated all of his combat aura, and a sound akin to that of a great river immediately sounded out from within his body.

A piercing light seeped out from his pores, causing Watson’s brown hair to turn golden yellow. His eyebrows and pupils were dyed golden as well. On his body, the originally thick and heavy combat aura armor expanded once more, and the light twisted and entwined, an illusory sun disk formed behind his back.

The sun disk and the sun in the sky reflected each other, attracting the light from the sky. In the Azure Sky, it was as if there was a god holding a huge searchlight, shining on him.

The rich light was stronger than the flames, and gentler than the water. In the courtyard, the grass beside Watson swayed, lowering their heads to him as if they were bowing to the sun. Faint feelings of joy and encouragement could be felt.

“With the light attribute combat aura, I can walk around the fields every day. Perhaps the crops will grow better than I imagined.” Watson rubbed his chin after dispersing the light on his body.

If warrior cultivators heard his words right then, they would not know whether to laugh or cry. The proportion of people with light-attribute or dark-attribute talents was one in 100,000. Such a proud son of heaven would either become an official or a noble in the kingdom and spread his influence, or he would occupy the land and become a king and a local tyrant.

The only person who had such a good cultivation talent and a farmer-like mind was probably Watson.

After thinking for a while, Watson decided to go to the farmland to take a look later. His gaze fell on the two huge rocks that had been cut off by his big brother not far away, and he raised his hand to make a chopping gesture.

There was no sword in his hand. The light in the air twisted into a thin light sword. The light flashed and disappeared, and the two rocks immediately turned into four pieces.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Watson made a judgment. In terms of combat aura, his strength was no weaker than his big brother, Vincent. In fact, it might even be much stronger.

“What a pity. If Big Brother hadn’t left and taught me some battle skills, I could have become even stronger.”

Watson expressed regret after the fusion into light-type combat aura scared his big brother away.

…

“Hurry up and transport this wooden board to the chicken farm and build a fence!”

“Use the white jade stone board over there to strengthen the house later! Pay more attention, and your salary will be doubled.”

Edward stood outside the chicken farm and proudly commanded a few farmers to unload the wooden boards and neat bricks from more than ten carts.

In addition, there were more than ten burly men who looked like guards who helped to carry the wooden boards. When they heard Edward’s nouveau riche speech, everyone’s eyes lit up and they worked even harder.

In the past few days, Vincent had been busy going to the misty forest to exchange for the cultivation technique for Watson. Edward had not been idle either. He had been a baron for many years and had been a member of the great nobles of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Over the years, he had also known many people, including great merchants.

Two days ago, he had sent Zeke and Zenoah to Monte Town. Two merchants whom he knew were invited to sell the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs at home. Over the past few days, the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken had laid thousands of eggs, piling them up like a small mountain.

When the two merchants who had rushed over saw this scene, they immediately knelt down on the spot.

During this period of time, a minor incident happened as well. Some of the attendants brought by the two merchants were jealous of the eggs in the chicken farm, and intended to take two of the eggs while Edward was signing a contract with their master. In the end, they were discovered by Golden Flash, who was patrolling the chicken farm. With a roar, the Bronze-tier warrior was so frightened that he wet his pants.

“In this dilapidated house, there are not only Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens, but also Gold-tier magical beasts!”

If Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens made people jealous, Gold-tier magical beasts dispelled all that feeling. When news spread, not only did the merchants who knew Edward scrap any malicious plans, no one else would probably dare to cook up any schemes if the news spread to Monte Town.

A Gold-tier magical beast required several professionals of the same level to defeat it. A great noble who could afford to raise a Gold-tier warrior would not be interested in a few Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens, while those who did not have the ability could only look on with envy.

At that moment, two fat middle-aged men dressed in luxurious clothes were beside Edward, other than the farmers and guards.

“The guard who previously tried to steal has been fired by our Lucky Business Group! Don’t worry, Edward. Lucky Business Group is the most honest group there is. We won’t allow anything to happen.” The chubbier of the two middle-aged men had a flattering look on his face.

The slightly less fatter middle-aged man then said, “Our Travelling Wind Business Group is the same! I never expected you to become this capable after not seeing you for a few years, Edward. Your eggs can be sold for five thousand gold coins in one go. Don’t forget me if something like this happens again in the future! I knew this day would come when you left the Saint Laurent family and started your own business.”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” Edward replied humbly. He seemed to be very satisfied. The thousands of gold coins he earned from selling eggs were all locked in a heavy wooden box and piled up in half of the bedroom. He had to fondle the gold with his hands every night before he could fall asleep.

After becoming rich, not only did he straighten his back, but he also became tough when he spoke.

“The two of you should come once in the next half a month. We’re old friends. I’ll give you a discounted price for my eggs—ninety-nine silver coins per egg! On the way back, I’ll give each of you another ten gold coins as payment for your hard work.”

“I’ll thank you on behalf of my men, Edward.”

The two merchants from Monte Town hurriedly thanked him, and the fatter one asked, “There is one more thing. I heard that the eighth child in your family is both a Silver-tier warrior and a mage at the age of ten. He’s the one who created the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken and the gold-tier magical beast. I wonder where he is. Can we meet him?”

The merchants were well-informed. They already knew that Edward’s rise was related to his own child. A ten-year-old silver-tier professional was bound to have limitless achievements in the future. They wanted to cling onto such a future opportunity.

“That child is either fiddling around in his room these few days, or training his combat aura with Vincent. He should be in the courtyard at the entrance to the home right now. I’ll bring you there. You might not know this, but Watson’s strength has improved so quickly. He can’t do without my guidance. Sigh, having a genius at home is also a troublesome matter. Who knows, it might not be long before he can surpass me.”

Seeing that these two old friends placed so much importance on Watson, Edward was very pleased. He subconsciously bragged.

Hearing his words, the two merchants rolled their eyes at the same time. ‘Surpassing you? Are you even worthy?’

When Edward was at his strongest, he was only a Gold-tier warrior. He had advanced during his adult years and it was ridiculous to compare him to Watson.

While cursing in their hearts, the two merchants still flattered him with the words “Yes, yes, yes, you’re right” and “Like father, like son”. They followed behind Edward and left the chicken farm, arriving at Watson’s courtyard. Before they could enter, an intense light flashed in front of them, causing them to feel a sharp pain in their eyes. They could barely open their eyes and subconsciously cried out in surprise.

“What happened?”
