Brain bloom

She closed her eyes and used this title—

Her world changed.

Mori's soul seemed to have undergone some kind of drastic change, instantly triggering incredible phenomena.

The tender buds on the top began to grow in an instant, and bright green leaves kept sprouting from the fuzzy strawberry vines at an astonishing speed.

Not only that, Mori felt as if he were one with nature, and could experience all life on the island.

Centered on her feet, the surrounding plants are growing wildly: saplings rise from the ground, slowly grow into large trees, and bear abundant fruit; autumn flowers bloom one after another like internet celebrities, and then quickly wither away.

Fu Fu kept exclaiming in surprise. If the little guy hadn't been able to fly, he would have been poked by the suddenly growing branches.

"A goddess of nature, that's wonderful!"

She was very pleased with her power and thought that she would secretly use it to accelerate the growth of grapes and give a princess a little surprise.

Just then, Sen Shi heard a sound—the rattling of gold coins, the crisp, melodious sound of metal colliding. It was the fluctuation of spatial magic! The ground trembled violently beside him.

Even more strikingly, a crack clearly connecting to something else appeared beside Mori Toki.

"This... could it be the gate to wealth? It seems I am the goddess who governs wealth and nature, how wonderful."

Sen looked over confidently, wondering which treasure trove of wealth lay behind the crack. But then it suddenly seemed very familiar... Wasn't this her own luggage?

Suddenly, the gold coins inside finally broke free of the bag and flew out like bullets. The glittering gold coins flew far away towards the distant horizon...

"Damn! It's my own money?!" she realized.

The first one, the second one... gold coins kept flying out, scattering in all directions.

"No! Don't go! Come back!"

Mori felt a pang of heartache and immediately reached out to seal the ridiculous door, which contained the gold coins she had worked so hard to obtain...

It wasn't until she tried to raise her hand that she realized the power contained within it was swift and formidable. However, her mental energy was extremely weak, as if she had forcibly unleashed three high-level spells in quick succession—and it was still being rapidly depleted.

"Not good."

She immediately realized that while using the divine power felt amazing, her weak mental strength couldn't last long. In just a few seconds, it was already almost depleted…

Before his vision went black and he died, and all his gold coins were scattered, Mori gritted his teeth and struggled to cancel his title, replacing it with the ordinary title of "Great Mage".

She escaped unharmed.

With the divine essence gone, Mori could no longer feel nature. And the plants that had grown wildly around him and overhead finally came to a standstill.

She survived; had she been even slightly slower, she would have died from exhaustion. For a true god to die such a wretched death is shameful to even think about. But that's the least of her worries; losing all that money and important materials in that bag would be worse than death.

Having lost his divine status, Mori was as fragile as a piece of paper.

I managed to find a bottle of energy drink and gulped it down, which made me feel a little better.

"Waaah... my money..."

"Sister Moritoki, what happened?"

"It's okay...it's okay."

Fufu couldn't understand Senshi's pain, but instead flew around him.

"The Four Seasons Master is truly amazing. This place is like a castle of plants, so beautiful... It's as if time has stood still here for a hundred years."

"Hmm... feel free to look around if you like."

Senshi wasn't in the mood for that; he immediately started checking his luggage.

Because of using her divine power, she lost forty gold coins, which was ridiculous... Apart from the idyllic plant castle around her, she gained absolutely nothing. As for the plants, they could only provide some wild vegetables at most.

Maybe she could even have a date with dandelions in the future? Anyway, there were plenty of flowers and plants, and thinking about this gave her a little comfort.

Mori sighed silently. Clinging to a sliver of hope, she checked her character attributes—no changes. She had hoped for some kind of boost… at least a level up would be nice.

But in her disappointment, she suddenly touched her throbbing head, and a new piece of knowledge appeared in her mind.

This means... you've gained an extra skill.

Mori's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up from the ground, secretly praying, "It must be a powerful skill," and "Please don't let it be something cute." As if the coffin bearer could really have his wishes fulfilled, a smile appeared on Mori's lips; she saw it.

[Divine Power - Shaping the Physical Body], at first glance, it's a powerful skill.

"Oh! Could it be that I can create a powerful servant?"

Effect: The unique power of the God of SB - Coffin Carrier - allows him to freely modify his intelligence and replace it with an equivalent other attribute for 10 seconds.

"What?"

This ridiculous skill seems to be insulting.

Clinging to her last sliver of hope, she tried using her skill. Suddenly, several hundred points of intelligence transformed into countless particles of light, flowing from her mind in a dazzling array of colors, their glow illuminating the surroundings.

"Wow, so beautiful, Morishita-neechan, what are all these?"

Fufu was pleasantly surprised. She first witnessed the creation process of this plant castle, and then saw so much light emanating from her sister Senshi. She thought to herself that this was much more interesting than the seabed.

In addition, the Salt Fairy is shaped like a ball of light, and among these light spots, she is like the leader, surrounded by hundreds of little creatures, which makes Fufu feel very close to her.

"They look like a bunch of tiny salt sprites, maybe they'll taste really salty?"

"Don't eat it! That's all my intelligence!!" Mori's voice, choked with sobs, lingered for a long time.

Volume 1, Chapter 122: The Wine Business

After several minutes of careful study, Mori, relying on his knowledge of "Silent World" from the game era and his own deductions, drew many conclusions about the godhood he possessed.

First, it can indeed allow one to reach the realm of a true god, but the price is high, and its usefulness is not yet significant.

In the few seconds it took to put on and take off the title, Mori had consumed a lot of gold coins—presumably a characteristic of his Coffin Deliveryer Godhood. After all, he had initially built his faith on the foundation of a pile of gold coins.

Therefore, such unrestrained gifting is probably a price to pay for the divine power.

Second, it consumes mental energy.

Just as all magic is constructed using mental energy, the divine status of the coffin carrier can be understood as an extremely powerful magic, consuming an exceptionally large amount of mental energy.

Mori hasn't found a good solution yet, so he can only try drinking the highest-grade mental energy potion next time, along with some equipment to reduce mental energy consumption.

Thirdly... the use of this divine status is really quite useless.

She stared blankly at her surroundings, and within seconds, the surrounding plants seemed to have aged a hundred years. This effect was not insignificant, but it wasn't huge either; at most, it just accelerated the growth of the plants.

This is likely related to the Four Seasons, a race "blessed by nature".

Perhaps the divine status of the coffin bearer has other uses, but this time it lasted too short, so other practical applications still need to be explored.

However, this divine status also brings an interesting skill: through it, Sen can transfer his Intelligence attribute points to other attributes for ten seconds. But there is a cooldown period, about three minutes.

This skill is incredibly useful. In situations where magic isn't needed, you can channel intelligence into your strength, which is a weakness, and you can become a half-warrior for ten seconds.

Sen immediately figured out how to use it.

When facing a poor but powerful enemy, start by unleashing a few spells, and when your mana runs out, use a mana potion.

Shift your focus from intelligence to brute force, grab a machete and hack away mindlessly. After ten seconds, if the enemy is still alive and your mental energy has mostly recovered, you can resume unleashing magic...

"As expected of me, this skill is really good."

"Sister Morishita, what did you say?"

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go home. I'm so hungry... Do you think Dandelion will cook for me later?"

……

Earlier, inside the winery's cabin.

Dandelion and Wish were sitting facing each other at the dining table. Their gazes met only after passing over the fried eggs, cheese, bacon, and amber wine on the tablecloth.

With nothing to worry about, Dandelion happily ate her belated breakfast and chatted about serious matters with the devilish lady across the street.

"Princess Dandelion, Mori should be fine, right? I'm still a little worried that you've sent the enemy to her to deal with..." Yuan played with the kitchen knife in her hand, seemingly wanting to go out and help.

"It's alright, it's alright. Don't forget how she shot that arrow."

"That's right, the power is indeed terrifying. And it only used low-level magic to create the arrows..."

She was willing to lay down her knife, but a tightness gripped her chest; the scene of that misunderstanding and battle still haunted her. However, from her current perspective, the very easy-going Mori had become a reliable ally.

“If I had used a really good arrow, I might have been wounded back then.” Yuan’s words carried a hint of fear, then she took another bite of the smoked meat in her hand, as if every kind of food suited her taste.

"So don't worry—let's talk business instead." Dandelion swirled the wine in her glass, her attitude quite relaxed. After all, they had signed a contract, so Dandelion could be considered a half-trustworthy partner.

"I will help with the introduction of little Melia. I will have someone send a message over later, and we will get a reply within three days. At least I can guarantee that you will be able to meet."

"So what price are you willing to pay for this?"

"This breakfast is enough. I'm not shamelessly coming here to freeload."

"Honestly, I'm not quite used to your devilish ways of doing things." Dandelion took a sip of her drink and then asked with great curiosity, "How did you meet that... one of the most terrifying beings of our time?"

“I was taken back to the realm of demons by my father to be raised right after I was born, so I know all the big shots in the evil world. Little Melia is the same—she was very young then, and she came with her mother to find my father.”

"Making a deal?"

"No, it was just catching up and chatting. That's when I met her. We're about the same age and have similar abilities, and we're both girls. We've been hanging out together a lot since then, and we still are now."

Dandelion took another sip of wine, her expression complex: "The childhood of that demon queen? It's truly unimaginable..."

"We should meet soon. Okay, can we talk about my dad wanting to buy wine now?"

"Alright, since you want... how much do you want?" Dandelion seemed a little guilty.

Willing took out his book, flipped through it, and pulled out a list from a hidden compartment, handing it to Dandelion. The handwriting looked cute and neat, probably done voluntarily. But the content was dictated by the ancient Demon King, and every word made Dandelion embarrassed.

"Tell the Four Seasons that I want wine with dried branches added, as much as you can get. I also want wine with dried leaves added, as much as you can get. No need for the unadded wine, it's too bland and not very interesting."

He saw right through me...

What she added to the wine was a deadly poison from the withered branches and leaves that appeared every season, originating from the heads of those born in each season. Once ingested, it was generally incurable by any means. But this ancient demon king not only drank it and tasted it, but also wanted to buy more…

"You really are... an expert, your father."

"Thank you for praising him. How many are there? That way I can arrange for suitable people to come and transport the goods. Otherwise, if too few people come, I'll have to carry them myself, which will take up time with you. If I call too many people, it will be embarrassing."

"Not many... There are still twenty-two bottles left with the added dead branches. Ten are dry red, three are botrytized, three are dry white, and the rest are sparkling wine. There are about three hundred bottles of the latter type, in roughly the same proportion. I can guarantee the storage conditions for these wines, but the vintages are very complex... After all, the grapes' performance varies from year to year, and my winemaking skills also fluctuate..."

Yuan blinked: "Although I don't understand, I'll take them all."
