Aside from having the girls come to help, Takeru also intended for them to act as power banks. Continuous consumption had reduced the mana he had accumulated in the Slime World to a reserve of just over one million.
And the mana Takeru had now was far from enough for what he planned to do next. Besides some ordinary animals, Takeru also intended to manifest a batch of creatures within the personal pocket dimension. The monster materials he had collected on the other island earlier could also come in handy.
As time passed, with everyone working together with a united effort, the personal pocket dimension began to take on a proper form.
Especially regarding the greenery. Thanks to everyone's catalyzing, the desolation of the space had now vanished, replaced by a world of green. Standing within it was also very refreshing.
By around three in the afternoon, Takeru sent everyone back home. Before parting, Rem and Miki picked a good amount of freshly harvested vegetables and also collected some seafood from the sea, preparing it for the evening dinner.
After sending everyone home, Takeru pondered for a moment and directly accelerated the time flow within the personal pocket dimension. With his current abilities, he could only achieve a tenfold acceleration.
Any more than that would place a considerable burden on both Takeru and the space itself.
After doing everything, Takeru disappeared from the spot, teleported to the school, and then took over from his Shadow Clone, entering the club room.
"Takeru, why are you so late?" Seeing Takeru arrive this late, everyone was a bit puzzled.
"I was just held up by something." Looking at the curious crowd, Takeru casually brushed it off.
"Is that so?" Hearing Takeru say this, no one doubted him, and everyone resumed their previous conversations.
Seeing this, Takeru directly sat down in one of the empty seats.
"Takeru, have some tea." As soon as Takeru sat down, Tsumugi smilingly brought him a cup of tea.
"So jealous! Tsumugi-tan has already spent two mission worlds with Takeru. I've only had one!" Seeing Tsumugi's huge gains this time, Ritsu felt envious inside.
"What can you do about that? It's not like we can choose which mission world we enter. Besides, Shinka and Shizuka-sensei haven't even teamed up with him once!" Hearing Ritsu's words, Mio beside her directly spoke up.
Thinking about this mission world, she, Umaru, and Hachiman had worked hard doing a bunch of missions, and she had only gotten a B-Rank evaluation.
Umaru and Hikigaya did a little better, getting B+. Originally, she was somewhat happy, but after comparing herself to Tsumugi, she couldn't feel happy anymore.
"There, there!" Seeing Ritsu's expression, Yui patted her head to comfort her.
"I'm not a pet, and I was just saying it anyway!" Seeing Yui's action, Ritsu rolled her eyes.
Hearing Ritsu's words, Mai sighed inwardly. Although she was fortunate enough to be in the same world as Takeru, because they weren't familiar, Takeru hadn't even helped her.
Of course, indirect help still existed. After all, Takeru had Subaru stay peacefully in an inn for a month, which also allowed her to get a decent B-Rank evaluation.
"By the way, Takeru, my brother only got this item from the mission world settlement. Do you need it?" Suddenly, Umaru seemed to remember something and directly took out a special little sapling, handing it to Takeru.
"Hmm?" Hearing her words, Takeru directly took it and examined it through the Reincarnation Watch.
[Sapling of the World Tree: Contains special energy. A precious material. Can be planted. Has miraculous effects! (Note: Approximately a hundred years to initially enter the growth period.)]
"This..." Seeing the introduction on the Reincarnation Watch, Takeru was stunned. Looking at its description, Takeru was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Just the name alone was somewhat intimidating: World Tree. And entering the growth period took a hundred years. Wouldn't reaching maturity take several hundred or even thousand years?
"Although I'm not sure, I feel this thing is quite precious. How about this: I'll exchange it with you for something. Or do you need an evaluation or points?" Hesitating for a moment, Takeru spoke seriously to Umaru.
Although it took such a long time to grow, Takeru had catalyzing magic. Perhaps he could catalyze it like the Star Soul Fruit. Even if he was wrong, it wouldn't matter, as according to the description, the sapling itself was a precious material.
"No need! We don't know what to do with it anyway. It says it can be planted, but it takes a hundred years. We simply can't wait that long. I usually receive so much care from you. If this is useful to you, that's good enough!" Hearing Takeru's words, Umaru quickly refused.
"Care is care, but these things still need to be distinguished. How about this: I'll exchange it with these potions."
Saying this, Takeru directly took out one bottle of Advanced Enhancement Potion, four bottles of Beginner Enhancement Potion, and fifty bottles of Recovery Potion.
"Wait, really, there's no need!" Looking at the items Takeru took out, Umaru waved her arms nervously.
As for the others, they were also curiously examining the items Takeru had taken out. The others were fine, but upon seeing the Advanced Enhancement Potion Takeru took out, they were stunned. Although they didn't know exactly how much it could enhance, everyone was very clear about its value.
Also, the Beginner Enhancement Potion, which could strengthen ordinary people without side effects… these things were extremely precious. Because each person was limited to exchanging only one, they were also very sought after.
Many newly formed guilds would even trick newcomers into buying them, then collect them from the newcomers to use for people close to them.
Moreover, exchanging for a Beginner Enhancement Potion in the Reincarnation Space required a C-Rank evaluation and five thousand points, which was also a considerable cost.
"Is this the Recovery Potion made by Rimuru?" Suddenly, Yui asked in a surprised tone.
"Hmm." Hearing her words, Takeru nodded knowingly.
"What's wrong? Is there something different about it?" Hearing Yui's surprised tone, Ritsu, who didn't know the situation, asked curiously.
"Of course! The recovery effect of this Recovery Potion is extremely strong. Whether it's external injuries, internal injuries, or even severed limbs, it can regenerate them!" Hearing Ritsu's words, Yui said excitedly.
It turned out that at first, they weren't clear either, but later, after noticing that Rimuru had used magic to heal a goblin with a severed arm, they realized that the Recovery Potion Rimuru produced was nothing like the lower-grade or mid-grade Recovery Potions available on the market.
Hearing Yui's words, everyone looked dumbfoundedly at the fifty bottles of Recovery Potion on the table. What was even more shocking was that Takeru could casually take out such a huge quantity.
And everyone became even more curious, wondering if this Sapling of the World Tree was really something extraordinary.
Upon hearing this, Umaru became even more nervous. Although according to her brother, this thing should be very precious, it would likely be useless to ordinary people. So, adhering to the principle of not wasting it, she brought it to Takeru to try, after all, Takeru was simply too mysterious.
"Alright, although I'm not sure, I can feel that this thing is quite useful to me. As for these potions, they aren't particularly precious items to me." Looking at the nervous Umaru, Takeru gently shook his head and said.
Subsequently, under Takeru's insistence and amidst the envious gazes of everyone, Umaru, with a heavy heart, put away the Enhancement Potions and Recovery Potions.
Her and her brother's strength was nowhere near as monstrous as Takeru's. Getting injured in battle was a common occurrence. Especially since they also sensed that the difficulty of the upcoming worlds seemed to be getting higher and higher.
Also, with the extra Beginner Enhancement Potions, they could give them to their parents to take, at the very least ensuring their physical health.
So, the items Takeru gave her were all things she relatively needed.
As for Takeru, he didn't think too much about it. Although these items were precious, only the Advanced Enhancement Potion was somewhat rare. As for the others, for Takeru, they were just so-so.
Moreover, with this exchange, Takeru also wanted to send a signal to everyone: if they obtained something rare but perhaps useless to themselves, they could exchange it with him, and he would definitely not treat them poorly.
"Um, Takeru, do you have any more of that Recovery Potion? Can you sell me a few bottles?" Suddenly, Yukino seemed to think of something and directly inquired of Takeru.
"That shouldn't be a problem." Hearing that she wanted to buy, Takeru nodded. For something that could save one's life at a critical moment, Takeru, if he had surplus, would not hesitate to sell it to his friends.
Subsequently, everyone discussed the price. Although obtaining this item wasn't difficult for Takeru in the Slime World, manifesting it still consumed points. However, due to his primary authority, a large portion of what Takeru manifested was free.
After discussion, Takeru sold it to everyone at a price of one thousand points for four bottles. This was absolutely very cheap, and everyone knew Takeru was looking out for them.
Subsequently, everyone directly made purchases, and most bought four bottles.
