Patty couldn’t believe what he saw. The system was giving him a chance to exchange 25 Summon Scrolls for an S-class minion. Throughout this whole time, he had only ever had one S-class minion, and that was the Diplomatic Slime.
And he didn’t even win the Slime through the Summoning Ritual, he won it automatically by signing in to the system for 7 days straight. That meant that after about hundreds of summons, he still hadn’t gotten a single S-class minion.
The odds of summoning them must be tremendously low.
Patty had gotten a lot of A-class minions, and they were powerful too. But they couldn’t compare to the S-class minions like Diplomatic Slime. After all, the Diplomatic Slime could think for itself and even talk to Patty as if it were a normal human. According to the Slime, the other S-class minions were all smart, even if they couldn't talk the human language like the Slime could.
S-class minions could also freely enter the Real World. Like the Slime, it could jump from the Virtual World and reality without any trouble at all. This was especially good for Patty because he was a lazy bum. He didn’t want to always think about using his powers. He wanted it to be smart enough to activate by itself.
A-class minions still had a limited amount of time they could appear in reality, which made their ability very time-limited. An example of this was the A-class minion, Muscava Cyclo. Because it was only at A-class, it could only appear in real life and buzz at Patty to remind him that there was going to be a fatal blow coming to him.
If it was an S-class minion, it could probably move Patty’s body by itself. That was the most ideal situation. Currently, the Muscava Cyclo could automatically activate the time-slow ability, but it couldn’t make Patty’s body automatically move.
There was a way to make it into S-class, however, that was extremely luck-based too. He needed about 2 more A-class Muscava Cyclo to evolve the Muscava Cyclo to the S-class rank.
So, all in all, Patty thought that the system’s offer was extremely beneficial to him. After all, he wasn’t confident that he would get an S-class minion even after using all 50 of his summon scrolls.
He didn’t know if this was a one-time thing or a recurring thing, but if it was possible, he wanted it to be available every time. After all, since he could get 23 summon scrolls every day if he just stayed at home, he could get an S-class minion every two days! After all, it only costs 25 scrolls according to the system.
He was getting excited at the thought of getting the S-class minions. Not only that, he had available skips!
[Skip?]
[This skip is completely free. The system will only do the mission and nothing else. This free skip is valid for (1) one month only]
[Y/N]
This was one of the rewards he had from the bet with the professor. Only now did he have the chance to use it.
Every time he used skip, the system would always use the opportunity to advance whatever it was trying to do. Patty used to think that the system was kind of an evil being who had plans to take over the world, but Patty was disappointed to know that the system only wanted to go to school and be an eager beaver.

“Don’t mind if I do…” Just as Patty was about to press skip, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him.
“Master! Master!”
Patty stopped and looked over to the Virtual World and saw that it was the Diplomatic Slime. He was sitting on top of the bear’s body while some kids were playing and touching the soft body of the Slime. Behind them were more Thalls who were talking with Achram with gleams in their eyes. He was telling them all about God's kingdom, and how magical it all seemed.
It looked like the recruiting went well. There were about 15 more citizens in his kingdom, which was nice. They were more potential investments.
“Where are you guys?”
He zoomed out of the screen and saw that they were already near the kingdom. He could see their jaws drop when they saw the large dome in the middle of the snowy mountain, free from the ice and hail that was bombarding them. When they squinted, they even saw green grass inside the dome.
“Is this real…”
“It’s real…that’s…that’s God’s kingdom…”
“I can’t believe it. Back then, I was only half-believing Achram’s words. But now…I think he wasn’t even telling the whole truth!”
“Cool! Are we going to live there now, mama?”
“Yes, we’re here! I want to evolve!”
Soon, everyone entered the dome and the temperature difference was like day and night, literally. Back outside, the eternal clouds of sunlight from down into the plains. There was no heat from the sun that warmed the blizzard and hail that was storming the mountain.
However, as soon as they stepped into the dome, they all looked up and saw the sun directly shining down into everything in the kingdom. It was like paradise, even more so than what Achram described. It was warm, it smelled of nature, and most importantly, there was life. They could live here forever if possible.
It was like their own little world. This was the place where they could live peacefully, without ever having to brave the wilds and risk their lives just to eat some food.
No one could believe what they were seeing. The frozen hairs on their body immediately melted, their iced muscles started to warm, and liquid tears fell from their eyes. Even with the warmth of the Flame Sprout and the carrying capacity of the Bear, trekking the mountain still required them to exhaust their entire body.
But now that they experienced the paradise that awaited them, they felt their entire bodies turn into mush. They just wanted to relax and experience the warmth, safety, and security of this kingdom.
“Welcome everybody, to my Master’s kingdom!” Slime jumped up and welcomed everybody into their new home.
The rest of the summons gathered behind the Slime. Boxy, or the Automaton Builder, finally reunited with Flamie. The Treant slowly walked over to the new citizens and gave them each a magical bark; he thought that they cried because they were injured.
The Rabbit Farmer was the only one who didn’t leave his territory, only giving the new citizens a casual glance before returning to guard its Magical Yi Power carrots.
The kids in the group were the first ones to greet the summons. They were extremely excited to see new lifeforms. Their whole life, they only ever saw other Thalls and other animals. Now, they saw a moving metal box and a moving tree!
They immediately wanted to be friends with them. Of course, the summons were more than happy to welcome them. Boxy and Flamie, in particular, were the ones most happy with having kids around. They could finally play with others!
After everyone settled down, Achram looked up and talked to Patty.
“Master. These new citizens with me have brought you gifts. I know that this isn’t enough to show our thanks for all your grace, but please accept our humble present.”
After that, the Alpha Brown Bear moved forward, and the three carts linked together moved forward with it.
Patty’s eyes gleamed as soon as he saw the black luster of those crystals. His excitement peaked. His heart was pumping and palpitating. There weren’t just tens of Kores there, there weren't hundreds, there were thousands of them in those crates!
He couldn’t believe it! He was rich beyond anything he could have ever even imagined! If those were normal Kores, then he would probably be a Trillionaire. However, those weren’t normal Kores. According to Leonard, those Virtual World Kores were different from normal Kores and they could probably sell for three or four times the normal value of Kores!
The slime immediately enlarged itself into a large oval shape. “Throw the Kores inside!”
Achram knew the drill so he quickly gathered handfuls of Kores and immediately threw them towards the green portal. Since there were too many Kores, he enlisted the help of everyone. Soon enough, hundreds of hundreds of Kores were being haphazardly thrown towards Patty.
Patty lay on his bed, with Kores all over him. He was buried under thousands of Kores, with more coming his way from the green portal. He couldn’t even process all of this. He couldn’t even try and calculate all of this into real money because he would get drowned out by zeroes.
If these were all 30% purity Kores, he could still be a Trillionaire. However, Patty was sure that he saw hundreds of Kores that were completely black, leaving no light to pass through. These were the top of the top quality. There were a lot of 70% pure Kores and above! Just one of those could make anybody a millionaire!
Patty quickly used his Space Ring and sucked up all of the Kores safely into a different dimension. He closed his eyes and sensed all of the Kores inside. The total?
3,521 Kores
“Slime,” Patty muttered. “Gather all of the new citizens. They have done a great job. It’s only fair that I evolve them."
