After returning to Prestige, I checked up on 'Riry Shop' and the '6000TP plot of land' first.

Thanks to the goblins' hard work, Riry Shop was making great profits, while Henry and Kiri were already starting to learn the business management skillbook.

When I asked them about their incredible learning speed, they said they only needed four days to learn to read and write. (For the record, Players had automatic language support inside the Tower.)

Next was the currently empty plot of land.

It was already showing signs of fertility, with weeds beginning to grow.

[Random Dice x5]

Looking at the empty plot of land, I rolled the dice.

Two gave equipment that could be sold in Riry Shop and two gave crops that could be cultivated in this land.

[Lv.2 Clear and Clean Rice]

[Lv.3 Incredible Meat-Flavored Corn]

Afterwards, I went to work.

By asking Henry and Kiri, I searched for NPCs who had farming experience. I was able to find five NPCs in the span of an hour, and after I fed them until they were full, I ordered them to plow the land for farming.

Because they didn't have homes, I purchased a few dilapidated houses nearby and fixed them up into decent-looking cabins.

All this only took half a day to complete.

'Young Dwarf's Dexterity' was that amazing.

"We'll do our best, Lord!"

The five NPCs bowed respectfully with teary eyes. Well, including their family members, there were eight of them.

...It was a bit embarrassing to say this, but as Prestige's richest man, I took the responsibility of noblesse oblige and casted hypnotic suggestions.

"Work hard but don't overwork yourselves."

Encouraging words from a person of power often improved the efficiency of work.

After checking that a faint trace of magic power entered their bodies, I returned to Chameleon Troupe's hideout.

"I'm back...?"

However, there was no one inside. I looked around the dark and cold hideout before turning the light on.

"Hm...."

Was it because I couldn't smoke in the Tower? Being alone was a bit sad.

—Chirp, chirp.

At that moment, Spartan chirped on my shoulder.

"Right, you're here too."

I realized that Spartan shared my thoughts.

I reached over to my shoulder and stroked Spartan's head.

—Peep, peep.

Spartan flapped his wings in joy.

I thought about what to do. There was still one day until Medea's conference. Should I grind my stats and skills with monsters on the 4th floor? Or...

Suddenly, a lightbulb went on in my head.

"Training."

Spirit power training that used Stigma's magic power.

Trying to make spirit power flow out more naturally and fluidly.

Meditation to make spirit power circulate my bloodstream better.

"...."

As spirit power would follow me to the real world, I needed to get better at using it.
