Chapter 726 - The Contents of the Manual (2/2)

At first, the speed of compression was fast.

In less than half an hour, it went from a three-meter radius to a three-meter diameter.

But as this ball of energy got smaller and smaller, the compression became more and more difficult, and it took ten hours after that to compress it to a meter in diameter.

But this wasn’t enough. It had to be compressed further.

All that was left was simmering it on low fire.

Because it had to be compressed to at least about five centimeters in diameter to be considered successful.

The subsequent compression was all measured in days.

For the first ten days, it was compressed to thirty centimeters in diameter.

Ten days in between, it was compressed to ten centimeters in diameter.

In the end, it took another twenty days to compress it to five centimeters in diameter.

In reality, in terms of a virtual Divine Spark, the smaller the better. Preferably, it would be compressed to under a centimeter in diameter, but that was unlikely.

At least not with Roland’s current capabilities.

It was completely impossible to do; compressing it to five centimeters in diameter would be the limit of a Master.

Legends could probably compress it to three centimeters, and two centimeters for Demigods.

Roland looked at the energy bead that had turned into a multicolored ball of light in his hand, and after examining it quietly for a moment, he then tapped it onto his forehead.

As soon as the bead touched his skin, it sunk eerily into Roland’s brain.

It was something made of his mental power and wasn’t going to do him any harm.

The moment the ball went into his head, Roland subconsciously trembled.

It was just as satisfying when he trembled on Andonara.

After his body shivered for nearly half a minute, Roland then suppressed his physical instincts and began to experience the effects of this bead.

First of all, all his attributes went up by about five to ten percent.

The second was that he started to feel very hungry.

He kept looking for something to eat.

Taking some random rations out of the Backpack, he ended up getting nauseous and wanting to vomit just after taking one bite.

He spat the jerky in his mouth onto the ground—what was once palatable was now unpalatable.

After thinking about it, Roland opened the system interface and found that there was indeed an additional message in his character panel.

Food Law (Virtual Divine Spark): Your insane obsession with food gives you the wherewithal to touch the power of the laws. Although not a true Divine Spark, it can still be truly beneficial to you.

Gluttony: It is more pleasurable for you to ingest gourmet food than to mate with a woman.

Picky: Food with a gourmet degree lower than five cannot enter your stomach and you will vomit it out. This is true in cases of extreme hunger as well. So, even if there is food in front of you, you are in danger of starving to death.

Ubiquitous Gourmet Food: Food made by you, and by those who believe in you, increases in deliciousness. Also, your followers can borrow the magic power in your body to unleash some of the divine spells you have developed.

Number of believers: 0

Set divine spells: None (4)

After reading these lines, Roland fell into deep contemplation.

The first phrases were all well understood, but what did this “set divine spells” mean? And what did the number at the end mean?

Could he set four divine spells?

Roland thought for a moment as he tapped on the option to set up divine spells, and then a large list of spells unfolded before him, all of which he had learned and could use.

After watching the dazzling names of spells floating in front of his eyes, Roland thought for a moment before dragging in the spell Unhindered Communication.

As a result, a pop-up prompt came from the system.

Insufficient points.

Oh… it considers magic strength, got it. Roland then put up the Language Proficiency in the divine spells.

This time it succeeded.

But there were only two points left.

After thinking about it, Roland put in a level-one Healing, which also passed.

There was still one point left.

After a moment’s consideration, Roland put in the level-one Detoxification as well.

It also passed.

The next step was to get someone to use those spells.

Since it was a Divine Spark, he should find someone to believe in him.

Roland teleported back to Delpon.

He pulled Andonara quietly into the bedroom, closed the door and windows, and then made a soundproof barrier. Andonara blushed slightly as she took her clothes off.

Roland made sure the door and curtains were closed before he looked back—and was speechless. “No, I have real business.”

Andonara walked up to Roland and wrapped her smooth arms around his neck, saying in a flirtatious manner, “Damned man, every time you say you’re going to do the business-can you say it differently and be a little more romantic!”

“It’s really business.” Roland subconsciously wrapped his arms around Andonara’s waist, then slid his hands down and pressed them against her hips.

“I know it’s business.” Andonara’s eyes were full of mischief, sweet and alluring like honey. “Are you on top or am I on top this time?”

Roland kissed her forehead. “I said it’s business. I want you to try to become my believer!”

Now question marks were written all over Andonara’s face.
