My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 27 Not-So-Sour Transactional Relationships

"you say."

Violet relaxed slightly upon learning that Lynn had accepted the mission.

However, her attitude hinted at a slight impatience.

Lynn extended his left hand.

"Shia placed a mark on me before, requiring me to take the antidote regularly. I need the organization to provide me with the corresponding antidote."

Upon hearing this, Violet grabbed Lynn's hand, leaned closer, and carefully examined the back of his hand.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, but Lynn's expression remained unchanged as he pointed to that area.

"This is the place, the mark that people say you'll carry if you kill a Uma."

Violet watched for a while, then gently stroked the back of Lynn's hand with her fingers.

Blue-silver magical energy seeped into Lynn's skin from his smooth fingertips.

Violet raised her delicate eyebrows and praised, "Excellent technique. Shia's innovation is worth promoting. For someone like you who has no magic power, this is indeed an effective method of restriction."

Violet kept rubbing Lynn's left hand, seemingly trying to figure out the mechanism of the spell.

Lynn felt something was off, but didn't pull her hand away.

After a while, Violet released Lynn's hand.

"Alright, I've extended the hiding time for you. The mark can remain hidden for another three months."

Lynn frowned and said, "Can't we just cancel it directly?"

Violet smiled.

"That's possible, but why? As long as you stay in the Kingdom of Uma, the organization will never give you enough trust. I think this is a good way to keep you under control. Don't forget to ask me to renew your contract next time, you great genius comrade."

Lynn remained expressionless and said nothing.

This surprised Violet.

"I have finished asking about the organization. Now I have some personal questions, Miss Violet. I hope you can answer them for me."

Lynn explained that he wanted to sell the alchemical potion at the auction.

He hoped that someone in the organization could resell the alchemical potions for him, so that Baron Narell wouldn't suspect him.

Violet frowned and thought for a moment.

"It's practically impossible. Nareel is too cautious and has a deep understanding of his territory. Besides, all of Nareel's comrades have already sacrificed themselves, and the organization is not capable of helping you with this right now."

Lynn was somewhat disappointed.

Violet continued, "However, you could trade with the organization. After all, resources are scarce in enemy territory, and our comrades here desperately need alchemy potions. I just don't know what level of potion you can refine."

Violet examined her nails with little interest.

She had no expectations for Lynn's refining skills.

A so-called rural genius only has potential, not real ability.

At best, they can only refine some first-tier, one-star potions.

Lynn hesitated, wondering if he should tell the truth.

Ultimately, he decided to tell the truth.

On the one hand, he desperately needed extra money to get rid of Brown Narell's control.

On the other hand, he also needs to demonstrate his value to the organization.

"I can now refine all types of potions up to Tier 1. Low-Tier 3 potions have a 70% success rate, and the highest quality they can achieve is Tier 1; Mid-Tier 3 and High-Tier 3 potions have a 30% success rate, and the quality is around Tier 4," Lynn said calmly.

Violet was taken aback by what she heard.

The next moment, a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.

"Talking nonsense won't increase your value to the organization. I'll be setting up a teleportation array in your room tonight. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Lynn was somewhat helpless.

These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth.

"I have no reason to lie, Miss Violet. You can provide me with an alchemy workbench and materials, and I can perform alchemy right here in front of you."

Violet frowned and looked at Lynn suspiciously.

Although this guy is lecherous and has an unreliable handsome face, he doesn't seem to be lying at this moment.

This made Violet even more suspicious. Could it be that what he said was true?

But how is that possible?

Such a success rate is something even the most gifted students at the Sinus National Academy could never achieve.

Violet didn't think too much and reached out to touch Lynn's chest.

Lynn was startled, but quickly recovered and did not dodge.

These mages, why do they start sexually harassing people without warning...?

Perhaps he should consider getting a set of clothes or other items that can block the perception of magical power in the future.

The feeling of being spied on is not pleasant.

Violet placed her hand on Lynn's chest, and the result of the magical energy she received startled her.

"...Five stars? How did you do that?"

Violet stared at Lynn as if she'd seen a ghost.

"According to the organization's intelligence, you were just promoted to Tier 1, 2 stars a few days ago."

Violet's eyes were filled with incomprehension and doubt about life.

This upgrade speed is really bizarre.

Violet even suspected that Lynn in front of her had been replaced by someone else.

But reason told her that she couldn't explain one absurd thing with another.

"How did you manage to do that?"

The disdain in Violet's eyes had vanished, replaced by utter bewilderment and profound shock.

Lynn had anticipated Violet's reaction, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The speed of leveling up doesn't matter; that can be explained by talent.

What he was really worried about was her finding out about his double life.

Currently, it seems that external magical probing cannot discern the energy attributes of stars.

He made the right bet.

However, we can still manage to get by for now.

But when both of his professions reached five stars or more, and more than ten stars appeared in his heart, it became inexplicable.

It would probably make the person testing the waters look like they've seen a ghost.

Although Violet's current appearance is no less striking.

She looks prettier when she's not arrogant.

Lynn explained, "Brown Narell let me into his alchemy workshop, and I used the extra materials to make an energy potion. I drank it and that's what happened."

Violet found it incredible.

"You mean you leveled up after drinking the potion?"

Lynn stared directly into her eyes and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Violet was speechless for a moment.

"Logically speaking, shouldn't you first adapt to the ability, then drink the potion, and finally gradually adapt to the medicinal properties to condense into stars? The theory books don't say it this way..."

Lynn blinked, ignoring the question.

"Miss Violet, putting that aside, shouldn't we be discussing my alchemy skills right now?"

Violet finally came to her senses, but she immediately began to question the meaning of life again.

"So your success rate in alchemy is genuine..."

Lynn nodded.

"Therefore, I hope to establish a transactional relationship with the organization. I can regularly supply the organization with the potions it needs, but in return, I need equivalent compensation. For example, right now, I urgently need a textbook on Old Falik and as many Blacklight Moon Leopard potion raw materials as possible."

"The deal itself is easy to discuss, but..."

Violet rubbed her face.

When she looked at Lynn again, there was no longer any disgust or contempt in her eyes.

In her heart, she had already placed Lynn on an equal footing with herself.

"However, Lynn, I take back my initial assessment of you."

Violet stared intently at Lynn's face, her expression complex.

"You're not a genius, you're a complete monster."
