Chapter 4: Why Can You Still Fall Asleep?

[Wow, that’s a classic villain’s line!]

[When Master Karoso said that, he seemed so domineering, yet so adorable at the same time.]

[My rule is the rule!]

[Will Master Karoso tell the Grand Duke about the bullet comments?]

[With Master Karoso’s personality, he probably won’t.]

Karoso left the room, and all the servants bowed to him along the way.

Karoso didn’t even look at them, but went straight to the elevator.

Although it’s called the lord’s mansion here, it’s actually a large estate, the most magnificent building in the whole Canglang Province.

Whether it’s technology or magic circle protection, they are at the peak in Canglang Province.

At this moment, Osiris was sitting on the sofa in the hall reading a newspaper, with several money bags placed in front of him.

Seeing Karoso coming down, he looked up at Karoso and asked, "What kind of card did you make?"

"Father, it’s a new type of card, completely different from the Pastor-style cards." Karoso walked up to Osiris and handed him the card.

Osiris glanced at the card, squinted slightly, and showed a faint smile, saying, "Not bad. If these cards were to be mass-produced, Pastors would probably love them. Did you come up with this yourself or did someone teach you?"

Karoso started thinking deeply.

He didn’t know if he should tell his father about the bullet comment incident.

If he were to talk about his father’s future, his father probably wouldn’t believe it.

The people in these bullet comments speak in a strange way, and often they can’t explain things themselves.

If you’re not completely sure about something, there’s no need to mention it, unless it could cause big trouble and you can’t solve it yourself. This is what Osiris once said.

"Hmm, you don’t have to say things you don’t want to, you should also have your own secrets," Osiris whispered. "You didn’t bring luggage down, is there something going on?"

"Yes, father," Karoso said. "I need a day’s time, I have a new idea I want to realize."

"How certain are you?" Osiris whispered.

"If I use Pandora’s Eye, fifty percent sure."

"Yes, I will let the airship fly again tomorrow." Osiris picked up the card that Karoso gave him, "Colloa doesn’t like failure, this card allows me to tolerate you once."

"Yes, father."

……

When Karoso returned to the room, he found Neymar asleep on the table.

Karoso frowned slightly, Neymar was already a wizard, with a delicate constitution, making her prone to catching a cold.

He was about to wake Neymar up when he noticed the bullet comments were rapidly scrolling.

[Don’t wake her, let me have a longer look]

[Sleeping Neymar looks so cute!]

[Um, Master Karoso, what are you going to do now that your cute little sister is asleep?]

"Of course, wake her up and send her back."

[She has been helping you with making cards. Now that you see her tired and asleep, don’t you want to cover her with a blanket and let her have a good sleep here? If you wake her up, she might get scared, right?]

"It’s not healthy to sleep like that," Karoso explained seriously. "I won’t wake her up forcefully."

Saying that, Karoso walked over to Neymar and patted her back.

"Hmm…" Neymar murmured, lifting her head somewhat dazed.

Seeing Karoso return, Neymar was like a startled rabbit, immediately standing upright, "Brother."

"Is your magic the best among peers?" Karoso looked at Neymar coldly.

"No, it’s not…"

"Then how were you able to fall asleep? Go back and meditate!"

"Yes, big brother…"

Neymar looked down, took small quick steps, and hurried to the door.

She seemed to remember something, bit her lip, gathered a lot of courage and determination before slowly turning around, "Big brother, about father…"

"The card passed, I will give you two hundred Magic Crystal Coins," said Karoso.

"Thank you, big brother…"

After saying that, she swiftly left Karoso’s room.

[Hey, can’t you be a bit more gentle!]

[Can’t even sleep? Isn’t this too much of a villainous behavior!]

[She’s still a child!]

[You are being mean. If you keep this up, I will go back to betray. What’s wrong with sleeping?]

"As a wizard, meditation is better for recovery than sleeping," Karoso saw bullet comments all talking about him and couldn’t help but start explaining.

He never explained before, and no one needed him to explain.

However, these bullet comments just helped him complete a nice piece of work. He saw his online friends as partners and naturally wanted to get along well with them.

"Sleeping, besides being comfortable, doesn’t bring any improvement. It’s just a waste of time."

[But sleeping can make you happy!]

[By doing this, you are taking away her happiness.]

[I finally understand why Neymar always looks like he can never wake up in the future…]

[Do you never sleep?]

[Have you become the most outstanding among your peers?]

"Since I learned how to meditate, I have never missed a night’s sleep."

Karoso sat in his own seat and didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he did or said. He was just stating the facts simply, "Among my peers, in terms of mental strength, I am the best in the past three centuries, this is compared to all known data. Part of my mental strength is innate, and more of it is cultivated through practice."

[…]

[Oh dear, I can’t find the words.]

[Master Karoso is who he is. He doesn’t ask too much of others, but he holds himself and others to high standards!]

[But isn’t that too indifferent?]

[The kind of family that raises a child shows in the child’s behavior, just look at the duke for example…]

[If only I had a brother like Master Karoso, I might have gotten into Harvard University by now!]

[Don’t be silly, sometimes learning requires natural talent. They kept Neymar because Neymar has exceptional skills in his blood.]

[What’s the deal with the two hundred Magic Crystal Coins?]

"It’s just a task from our father," Karoso said. "If she completes the meditation, father will give her two hundred Magic Crystal Coins. If she doesn’t complete it, she won’t even get a single Forged Coin."

"She helped me complete the task, so I got an extra five hundred Magic Crystal Coins. Two hundred for her, three hundred for me, a win-win situation."

[？？？]

[Do you have any misunderstandings about win-win situations…?]

[She doesn’t need money, she needs recognition from the Duke, right?]

[I feel like Master Karoso misunderstood it.]

"We all need recognition from our father, so let’s remove that known condition and see how we can maximize our benefits."

[Oh no! We can’t calculate it like that!]

"Is the person who just helped me with the card still here?" Karoso stared at the bullet comment. "You can tell me what you need in return."

[Huh? You want to give me something in return?]

"In this world, there is no love or hate without reason. Whoever helps me, I naturally have to give something in return."
