The villainess value had risen to just over a thousand, so what about the simulation value?
"simulation value: 5127"
Yes, over five thousand!
After buying Lux's Ranger skin, only 495 simulation value was left; it had increased more than tenfold!
This wasn't Mordo... ah, no, this wasn't just Lux's credit, but the simultaneous output of the three Incarnations over this past month.
It seemed that all three Incarnations were very satisfied with their current lives—
Perona wouldn't say it, but she actually really liked this lively "playing house."
Lux also enjoyed interacting and learning with the other mages, especially Master Brother Mordo.
Reze, on the other hand, finally had the "ordinary happiness" she had dreamed of, like a country mouse.
This resulted in the simulation value soaring without them having to do anything intentional.
Each of the three could gain dozens of simulation value points every day.
This was a pleasant surprise.
Sumire hadn't expected the simulation value to rise so quickly during such peaceful days.
As long as these fulfilling and happy days could continue.
At this rate, let alone the thousands of simulation value needed for a dedicated summons, even the 10,000 required for an upgrade was just around the corner!
Back to the point, the rewards of Lux's hard work were also visible to the naked eye.
Sumire pulled up Lux's attribute panel, and the data on it had clearly changed.
"Strength: 2→3 (After high-intensity ascetic training at Kamar-Taj, her core strength has been significantly enhanced.)"
"Combat Skills: 3→4 (Mastered Kamar-Taj's monk fighting techniques, knowing how to intersperse physical arts between spells.)"
It was funny; the people at Kamar-Taj were quite peculiar.
Lux had practiced with the Ancient One and Mordo for a long time. It was understandable that her combat skills improved, but her strength too... Don't tell me Lux is really going to be trained into a melee mage like Loki and Doctor Strange... Two mages, one who pulls out a small knife mid-fight, and another who produces a whole basket of whips, axes, and swords.
However, Lux's greatest gain was winning the favor of Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One.
Sorcerer Ancient One seemed to particularly like this young, smart, and pure-hearted girl, handing her a bunch of magical artifacts to practice with for fun.
This was a case of her biological mother not caring, but her godmother showering her with love.
Mordo was so envious his white teeth were about to shatter. When he went back to train the apprentices, he clearly carried a spark of anger, making them wail in misery.
The only pity was that Lux hadn't had the chance to touch the Eye of Agamotto yet.
Actually, Sumire had always been salivating over that pendant—the Time Stone.
But Lux was just too well-behaved!
She felt it was a sacred relic. Being a newbie who had only been there for a few days, she was too embarrassed to even ask about it, let alone secretly take it to play with.
Sometimes Sumire wondered.
How on earth was this girl judged to be a villainess? Her moral standards are higher than Captain America's, okay!
Just as Sumire was about to continue complaining in her head, she felt a weight on her shoulder.
Reze, holding a taiyaki, leaned gently against her shoulder like a lazy cat.
"Open wide—"
Reze tore off a small piece of the steaming taiyaki and, holding it by the edge, offered it to Sumire's lips.
Watching Sumire obediently open her mouth to bite the sweet pastry, the satisfaction in Reze's eyes almost overflowed.
She didn't speak, just closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the citrus scent of the body wash on Sumire.
As if it were some kind of nerve-calming potion.
Her hand had somehow crept onto the hem of Sumire's clothes, her fingers instinctively tightening until her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
"Sumire-chan..."
"Hmm?" Sumire swallowed the taiyaki, looking a bit dazed.
"It's nothing... I just wanted to confirm something." Reze's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself. "The current warmth is real."
