Greed God chapter 94

I slept pretty well. The G ranked cottage had a pretty decent bed. Cherry was the only one who climbed in with me, Zee and Barbie mostly deciding to look around or just generally being too wired to sleep, though Zee cornered me for a blowjob after I woke up to top herself up. I admit I loosened up a bit after getting my dick sucked, and she certainly seemed much perkier after. I wondered if my cum could replace the need for sleep entirely.
Still, now that I was awake I needed to get going, working on some gear to get us through this. So now I was outside with Zee and Cherry, getting ready to scout for some materials. I needed to upgrade my phone to get in touch with people back home. I let Zee go ahead out into the forest with Cherry to search though, because I had a conversation I needed to have. "Hey, Crassus, what the actual fuck has been going on? In retrospect a lot of the decisions I've been making have been fucking stupid. Like why would I try to fight for Gotham instead of just bailing before?"
I remembered the logic I'd used, and it had seemed legit at the time, but thinking back I couldn't see a viable reason not to just leave. I'd lived in Gotham for like a month, there was zero reason for me to be attached enough to go through any of this. It felt like I was in the middle of some kind of post nut clarity here, looking back and seeing how this had all been a giant waste of time.
[Oh, that. You decided to claim Gotham. In your mind the city is yours, and your instincts made you want to drive off challengers. Haven't you noticed how much more possessive you are of your girls? Even the ones you initially didn't like you get all snarly over. Not in a romantic way, but because the idea of someone taking whats yours makes you angry. I honestly figured you would have put that together by now.]
I groaned. "Yes, I obviously noticed that. I figured it was part and parcel of the whole Greed System thing. I just figured it only applied to shit I actually own." It did make sense though. I'd decided to conquer Gotham, staked my claim so to speak. I'd just need to watch out for that in the future. "So, any advice here? Because I've been going over my options and it seems like I have limited options here. Find the Princess or some other Amethyst noble to get our asses home, or upgrade the pendant. The thing is F rank though so I'd need a hundred thousand points, plus another like twenty thousand for the component parts."
[Plus once you're back you have to go get your girls and they're in the middle of a city run by an A rank psychopath. I trust you have some plan to deal with Doctor Gotham? Or at least to deal with his control of Gotham. He's probably basically invincible in city limits given that the energy in the city is all his and its been massively augmented. Or are you planning to abandon Whisper and Dinah? It would make sense I have to admit.]
That wasn't an option. The Gotham thing might have been bullshit, but Whisper and Dinah were MINE. Carrying my fucking kids. I wasn't sentimental about pretty much anything, but letting my own children die was a no go. Nobody got to shed Lord blood and walk away. Plus my house was fucking expensive to make. No, I DID have a plan. "I can take care of Doctor Gotham. Or at least I can take care of what he did to Gotham, once I can get back. After that the Shadowpact or Doctor Fate can deal with his bullshit. I need some points in the bank before I go back to do it though. A LOT of points."
[That changes our priorities somewhat. Assuming your women remain safe behind your walls there isn't a need to rush back. We can build up a proper force here and return with a stockpile of artifacts and points that will make any plans you might have much more plausible. That means we need to build ourselves a faction from the ground up here. We have admittedly excellent tools for such an undertaking. Still, we should probably get some kind of lay of the land before we choose a spot to start something like that.]
That sounded time consuming but...kind of fun. I always loved kingdom building games. Plus the reputation from that would help me find some of the Amethyst bloodline. I wondered if they were purple? I loved the color purple, and fucking a purple chick would be kind of hot. I shook that off. For the moment our priorities remained the same. Reestablish contact with my baby mamas and warn them to keep their luscious asses in the house. Hopefully they weren't alone there, that would certainly help with things.
I caught up to Zee and Cherry. "Alright, so what we need is some magical materials to help me put together a phone upgrade. This is Gemworld so rocks are probably a viable thing, or maybe some magic plants. I honestly don't know, just find me anything with high magical density and I'll give you a rundown on what I can do with it." I didn't mention being able to tell them everything about the object. Cherry knew that, but Zee didn't and I was tipping my hand as little as humanly possible.
The sorceress was glowing. Not literally, except her eyes slightly, but with health and vitality, my cum had her running in top form and she seemed excited to use some magic. She closed her eyes and started murmuring to herself a bit, and after a few seconds a pulse of energy ran over the area around us, eliciting glows of varying strengths from literally every object here. In terms of user friendliness I had to say this was a top notch spell.
The glow of the nearby trees wasn't too bad, but it wasn't what I was looking for. While technically any two things could be combined, getting exactly what I wanted was something of an art form. I had an instinct for what I needed to get certain results. Trees absolutely were not what I needed to mix with my phone for long range calling. There were a few plants with a similar glow and a couple of rocks. I appraised everything with more magical density than the trees, just to be safe.
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Everbloom bush- H rank. A beautiful piece of shrubbery that grows special rapid growth flowers every day at sunrise. The blooms increase in size over the course of the day and fall off the bush at dusk, only to begin growing again at the next sunup. Everbloom blossoms never wilt and are an excellent catalyst for healing tonics and growth potions.]
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Immature Carmine Daisy- H rank. A flower made from living growing stone. The carmine daisy grows for a century absorbing sunlight into its shimmering red stone. A fully mature carmine daisy contains enough solar energy to melt a glacier.]
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Adamant Moonstone- H rank. A chunk of durable stone far beyond the limits of most mortal materials. Once removed from the earth the marble must be shaped within three moonrises or it sets in the shape it's in. Once set Adamant Moonstone will retain its shape and integrity unless its durability is exceeded, at which point it will crumble to dust.]
The stuff here was fascinating, I couldn't lie, but none of it was really useful right now. And this was only H rank bullshit lying around a forest. I was looking forward to some of the amazing shit I might find in this place once we got all the important stuff handled. My phone was H rank, an Elite Smartphone I made using the same construction model as the glasses, but using a more traditional touch screen phone instead so as not to draw attention. I could make an H rank catalyst out of a pair of I ranks, but with this much material to work with I felt stupid wasting the points.
Finally I spotted something I was pretty sure might be the answer to my problems. It was a flower rucked back behind some trees, a gorgeous bloom that was glowing brighter than most of the things the spell had shown us so far. It was clearly magical as well as being gorgeous, and as soon as I appraised it, I knew that it would be what we needed to reach the girls.
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Whispersurge Lily- H rank. A beautiful flower imbued with the power of elemental lightning. By whispering into the bloom a message will be carried through the stormy sky to the target of your choice during the next thunderstorm. Upon receipt by the target the lily will wilt and die.]
It was perfect. I slid my phone from my jacket pocket and set it down next to the lily on the ground, initiating the merge for the thousand points necessary to create the G ranked phone that I figured would be enough to get me the result I wanted. Twenty three thousand points left, though I was planning to collect some of this H rank stuff to keep for the points. I just had to figure out what would be useful and how much I could carry. I couldn't wait to see how this thing turned out. Hell, if I was lucky it wouldn't just be calls, maybe it would connect me to the internet. That would be nice at least.
[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Whispersurge phone- G rank. A phone that carries a signal through mystical electricity. With enough charge any location can be reached. The more distant the call the more electricity required by the phone. As an elemental material of lightning this phone can hold an unlimited amount of charge, though it can only absorb a certain amount of voltage at a time when being charged.]
I grinned down at the phone. Perfect. Well, not perfect, it couldn't connect me to a network still, but hell that was something I could worry about later. As a lifestorm wyrmkin I could generate lightning. I suspected it would take a while to charge this damn thing enough to call another dimension but a while was better than never. I stared at the glowing blue phone in my hands, admiring the sleek lines of the blue and black metallic exterior, and I couldn't help but be excited for what I might discover in this world.
This place was amazing. Magic, women, lands to conquer, I was so excited for this I could barely sit still. I was going to build up my forces and make my way back to Gotham, and then I was going to completely ruin Doctor Gothams year. My plan was a bit crazy, but I knew it would work, and I knew once it did the world would never be the same. Doctor Gothams magic funhouse experiment was nothing compared to what I was planning, and I couldn't wait to see the results of it.
I concentrated on my hand, surging power along my skin and watching with pleasant surprise as the phone just sucked up the lightning playing across my hand. I'd expected to have to use some sort of port or something, but this thing just drank electricity. I knew it had a limit and I'd have to make sure not to exceed it, but I had tons of juice in me, and I knew I could get this thing charged enough for a call home within the next day or two. Once that was done it was on to step two. Time to build a kingdom.
