Chapter 83: Please Sponsor Me!

Michael was confused and didn’t understand what was going on when he felt someone prying his mouth open. Then they stuffed something in, parts of it soft, parts of it hard and angular.

A bitter taste spread throughout his mouth as Iris punched his mouth to make him chew that flower.

He originally planned to spit it out but at this moment, a huge amount of energy came from who knows where and spread through his whole body. Only then did he obediently chew and swallow the energy herb Iris had given him.

The gnawing hunger inside Michael’s body didn’t disappear at this moment. His stomach still felt empty because there was no normal food in his gut. But his body felt full of vitality as if running while starving for a few more days wouldn’t be a problem.

He opened his eyes, his gaze staring at Iris in shock. He didn’t understand why she did that.

“What did you feed me?”

“I just wanted you to feel what energy herb is like. Anyway, you’re hungry right now.”

Iris smiled and replied. At this moment she looked like a ’little angel’. Maybe because of her appearance along with her outfit reflecting the light strongly, she seemed to be radiating a brilliant halo.

Michael blinked, feeling like he had just met some stranger. But the emptiness in his stomach pulled him out of his daze.

“Eating this thing really gives energy but I’m still hungry though. You eat this and don’t feel hungry?”

“Of course not. You think a body a god used the best everything to create is that weak? My digestive system only works when I eat normal food. If not, it just pauses so I never feel hungry.”

???

Are you sure your current body is a human body?

Michael’s and Leo’s eyes went wide in shock as they stared at Iris. No matter how strong a human is, they need to eat or else they’ll feel hungry.

Even someone as strong as Raphael was no exception. Although going without food for a long time wouldn’t make him pass out, a rumbling stomach is a pretty annoying and uncomfortable feeling.

Iris looked at the ’horrified’ expression of the two people and suddenly felt like she still had the power of a god. Anyway, this weird human body is probably the most extraordinary on the continent.

Of course, it’s not invincible, especially in terms of intelligence. Gods aren’t stupid but they don’t have the kind of intelligence inventors have. They only have enough intelligence to carry out their own responsibilities.

“How many holy herbs do you actually have?”

Leo spoke up, asking the most important question. The extraordinariness of this thing can’t be overlooked. For this world, it must be one of the most precious things.

He was sure holy herb is something that demigod-level contractors, no matter how much money or effort they spend, have to fight for.

Holding a large amount of this in hand would bring unimaginable advantage. First, to increase Raphael’s strength. He couldn’t tell but Michael once told him his father was at least level ninety.

Besides, he could use it to nurture as well as recruit or train strong comrades in the future. Of course, the right ideal is the number one priority. For those insatiably greedy people, don’t even think about getting holy herbs from Leo.

Iris felt the chance to show off had come again. It was time for her to let these ’country bumpkins’ know what a real rich girl is and what it means to be someone richer than a kingdom.

Her face lifted parallel to the sky while puffing her chest out proudly. She raised the small bag up under the confused gaze of Leo and Michael.

“Don’t you pass out from my wealth, okay?”

She opened the bag’s mouth, then turned it upside down and shook it hard. Countless treasures inside fell out like a waterfall.

Light was reflected strongly by countless gold, silver, and gems along with many extremely strange plants. Although called ’plants’, those things could also emit brilliant halos.

So many precious treasures that if taken to auction would be worth a fortune an ordinary person couldn’t accumulate in a lifetime, now were dumped out messily by Iris, piling up like a mountain.

Michael saw this scene and wasn’t really surprised. He even thought this was really just the tip of the iceberg. To Iris it was probably nothing much.

From the moment he saw her dress covered in gems, he knew she had plenty of that stuff. These things to her could be said to be useless pretty things that are nice to look at.

Gilded castle, gem-covered clothes, diamond teeth and a whole lot of other flashy, showing-off stuff now came to mind.

Michael thought since Iris had so much extra, later he could ask for some to play with.

He was pretty weird compared to normal people. He didn’t really see wealth as anything important. He wanted to ask Iris for some shiny stuff mainly to show off, just for fun.

Leo had a different view. For Iris, gold and jewels might just be a few pretty-looking toys, but for him, this was the cost of building an army.

These things, the people with power and wealth in society really like. They’re extremely good for proving your own status is higher than others.

Don’t know what the exchange rate is here compared to the world he used to live in, but this pile of stuff is at least enough to train an army of a few thousand soldiers.

Iris watched the two people and could guess they were thinking about totally different things. That damn silly smiling face of Michael’s is definitely thinking about some useless game or something. And Leo’s serious look is probably thinking about how to use this resource well.

“My rich lady, please sponsor me! I don’t need much. A golden castle is enough.”

Without any shame, Michael rushed over and hugged Iris’s leg tightly under everyone’s stunned gaze.
