Patty was surprised to hear that his online order arrived just as Quatro said that a package would arrive. Was it just a huge coincidence? Probably not, Patty thought. He checked his investments through the Stock Broker.

Patty guessed it right. Quatro received the ability to have prophetic visions after his evolution. The extent of his seer powers was still unknown, but Patty was surprised that he was able to know about the things in the real world. After all, how could he have known that his massage chair would come at the same time?
He was not envious of this ability at all. After all, knowing the future was a burden he didn’t like to have. If he found out that an apocalyptic meteor would come and end the world tomorrow, he didn’t want to worry himself in those final moments.
He would rather not know anything at all so that his mind would be free from anything. His mind was as lazy as he was and didn’t like to have any thoughts running around.
But it was still a nice power to have. He had another powerful ally to help him survive peacefully in this world. If Quatro could know when a package would arrive, then he would also know when an enemy would arrive to try and assassinate him.
Even if Quatro’s warning was only a few minutes from the actual event, it was still helpful than having to react in the moment. At that point, he would only have to rely on the Muscava Cyclo and have to slow down time.
Patty decided that he would take more care in investing in Quatro in the future. Maybe if he sent more Ether towards him, then he would evolve into an automatic fortune cookie dispenser!
Patty could simply ask Quatro what bad things would happen to him tomorrow, and Patty would take action to avoid them!
It was a foolproof plan! However, he didn’t have any option of sending down Ether to the evolved Thalls. It looked like they had to consolidate their powers first before Patty had the chance to give them another dose of Ether.
For the first time in a long time, Patty got up out of his bed, walked over to the door, and took the massage chair inside. Since Andres and the others were already at school, he didn’t have any gopher around to help him unpack it.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
With his extraordinary strength, Patty only had to use one hand to grasp the corner of the box as tall as his chest and as wide as his door.
Once it was inside, he immediately ripped open the cardboard box to see a poorly wrapped black massage chair inside. The seller used an old bubble wrap that turned a little bit brown due to dirt. Most of the bubbles had already popped!
But that didn’t matter. Patty easily wrangled the wrapper away to show the full majesty of his new massage chair. Unlike the shabby box it came in, the actual item was in very good condition which completely matched the description of the image he saw on the internet.
It was made of sleek black leather made from a Fiend’s skin. Even when he tried to pinch it with his strength that could bend metal, it still didn’t tear! This was good!
On the armchair were the basic controls for the massage chair. It had three different modes on top that gave him the option to have a full-body massage, or just target specific body parts. It even had a knob to change the temperature radiator inside if he wanted to be comfortable even in the depths of winter.
Patty jumped inside the chair and tested it out. He pushed the on button and immediately felt the hands of angels massaging his back and caressing his neck. He felt so comfortable that his little test ended up being 30 minutes of relaxation.
[You are 10% relaxed]
[You will be regenerating 10 Energy per hour]
The massage chair was up to standard. It even allowed him to have 10% relaxation, which meant that he would be able to have 240 extra energy if he stayed in this massage chair for 24 hours!
Of course, that wasn’t feasible. He still wanted to lay on a comfortable bed when he slept.
But for the rest of the day, he could stay in this massage chair and keep regenerating his energy! That would be 16 hours each day, which meant that he’d get 160 extra energy!
If he stayed in his home and used the massage chair for the entire day, then he could potentially earn a whopping 42 summon scrolls each day! That was a staggering amount.
He was extremely happy with his purchase. However, that was not the only thing he wanted when he bought this modded piece of furniture. On the right armchair was an extra set of controls similar to a gamepad that was used in ancient times for console games.
He pushed the thumbstick forward and the motor inside the massage chair started to rev. Soon enough, mini wheels embedded under the chair itself started to rotate forward. Patty became even more excited when he saw that he was moving! The massage chair was moving!
And that wasn’t all. Most of the limitations of a moving chair was that it was unable to go up stairs or through uneven terrain. But not this bad boy. The seller was mindful enough to add a feature to change the rolling wheels into track wheels like that of an armored tank! Now, it can go up and down a staircase without much trouble!
He couldn’t believe that this wasn't more popular. He just purchased this thing, but he already wanted to buy more of it.
However, just as he was enjoying moving around his clean room, there was an alarm bell from the massage chair.
He was reminded why this massage chair didn’t reach the mainstream. It costs too much to operate! It was impractical. It wasn’t like people were drowning in Kore so much that they would waste it on a luxury item like this massage chair.
The only ones who could afford to use Kore as an energy resource for items like this were the extremely wealthy.
However, those elites were completely hard-working and driven. They were not the type of people to use a massage chair. And if they would use a massage chair, they would only use it in the comfort of their own homes. They wouldn’t want to use it everywhere like a portable car like Patty wanted to do.
So, in the whole city, there was probably only one person who needed to buy this massage chair. And luckily for the seller, Patty found it.
Who was the one drowning in high-quality Kores? That was Patty!
And these weren’t just ordinary Kores, these had double the energy capacity of normal Kores! It was perfect for Patty.
He looked through his Space Ring and found a 20% pure Kore. This was one of the lowest-quality Kores he had, so he wouldn’t be mad at losing this. He saw a compartment with an image of a battery, so he knew that this was where he would put the Kore.
Inside the compartment, he saw a Kore-size indent just like all other appliances. He quickly put down the Kore inside and it immediately started to glow a bright white light. Small wires connected to the Kore and also lit up, with the energy distributing to the whole massage chair like they were veins.
Patty closed the compartment and there was another holographic message displayed.
Leonard’s theory proved correct. The Virtual World Kores were truly twice as good as the normal Kores in terms of energy output alone!
Now, Patty could go around everywhere with this massage chair in constant work mode without having to worry about the battery.
Patty was ready to go to school and complete the mission. With how many Summon Crystals he was getting, sacrificing 25 scrolls felt extremely easy now, especially if he’d have a guaranteed S-class minion at the end.
But before that, he went and checked on the Virtual World. They were all still reeling from the effects of the evolution, but they all felt extremely happy with the result. Everyone changed into more vibrant yellow skins, with their facial and skeletal features looking more human.
They also had different golden marks around their bodies, each relating to their new powers.
Achram and his family all converged upon Quatro. They were happy that he was able to walk by himself now. He also felt energetic, even talking to the god by himself! This was a joyous occasion.
Even if Quatro didn’t get any powers and only became cured of his lethal disease, Achram and Rhita would already be happy.
They didn’t know that Quatro had powers that could touch even beyond the Virtual World.
