Cheat Awakening

"No, actually the contents are unexpectedly decent," Lewis, who already heard about the summary in the capital, answered with a frown.

Oh, that idiot bastard who doesn't even have basic manners, actually thought up a game that even an intelligent guy like Lewis says decent, seems like things are going to be very interesting, Myne thought with a smirk and looked at his wives.

Sylphy and Aisha also had expressions of surprise when they heard Lewis' words.

"In a separate place about 50km north of the capital city, is the "Divine Spirit Forest", where some powered-up monsters are prowling about, the gist of the game is to collect materials from that forest," Lewis spoke with a serious face and after confirming that everyone listening carefully he continues...

"Your tasks in the game are like this:-

・Collect the chosen materials within the time limit. Each of the materials will be assigned points, and the winner will be decided by the total points collected.

・The points of the target materials will be discussed in chivalric order.

・Points may be added or subtracted depending on the state after dismantling.

・The game will be held for two days.

・To prevent unfairness, a few knights will be deployed in the forest as surveillance.

・The participants can have substitutes.

That's roughly the details. Basically, the eight nobles who are opposed to your wedding will each choose their own adventurer substitutes, making a total of eight adventurers."

So nine people, including me (Along with the knights tasked with surveillance) will enter the forest, and each of the participants will harvest and compete for points within the time limit, huh? I already have a great plan to earn the highest points without much effort. This is going to be fun, Myne thought excitedly while trying to hold back his evil smile.

"Also when you guys enter the forest, every one of you will get a dedicated storage bag by the surveillance knights. Those bags are the work of a famous alchemist, a precious item where the items put inside will "not experience the passage of time.

So the materials will be put away in it and will be retrieved after the end of the game without worrying that those materials will go to waste after some time, as we all know some rare materials can only use in a specific time period otherwise they become useless.

So in order to avoid this kind of waste every participant will get those rare storage bags temporarily of course," Lewis explains calmly but every time he mentions those special storage beg a smile is clearly visible on his face.

So those storage bags are cheap copies of my Inventory huh? I didn't if they have any other cool features or not. Also, the venue will be the 'Divine Spirit Forest' huh? I've heard that there has been a legend since ancient times, that a divine beast sleeps within the deepest parts of the forest.

Is that divine beast has the same power as that guy who in order to quench the forest fire accidentally spread by me with just his voice alone while throwing an entire giant water wave? And I also heard from adventurers that monsters living in this forest are far stronger than the normal ones from other places.

Rare monsters and valuable materials which are rarely seen in other places can easily be found there, many people become famous overnight because they found very nice things there, this is also one of the reasons which made that place famous.

Now that I think about it, Lewis's Alchemy clan must have sent a lot of people over there to collect a lot of valuable rare materials, so he must have known a lot about that forest.

Once our Clan officially starts its activities, I must have to take advantage of our cooperation between the two clans which has been decided by Lewis and Sylphy and use him to get as much information as possible from him about that forest so I can explore it and become rich like those lucky bastards who now enjoying their life thanks to their sky-high luck, Myne thought with a determined expression on his face, which made everyone in the living room puzzle as they didn't understand why he suddenly looks so excited.

"I see, the contents are certainly decent," Sylphy nodded her head.

"But how do the stupid nobles plan on playing dirty?" Aisha who was silent from the start asked attracting everyone's attention on her.

"Well, I shouldn't talk about it as it is quite funny but they've bribed the knights. It came to light when the knights who have contacted them pretended that they have been bought out and later reported to us, Lewis said with a smile and explained the entire matter he learn from the knights.

It turns out that those nobles intend to borrow the time-stop storage bag in advance from the bribed knights, infiltrate, and collect the materials in large quantities before the game. And on the date of the game, they will fill the newly handed storage bags and hand them in as a result.

A truly plain and simple plan, so much so that people even wonder if the guy who comes up with such a plan is an idiot or something.

If they were normal people, they wouldn't think that they could bribe the knights just under the king's nose. However, the amount they presented for the bribe this time is also unparalleled. So those noble thoughts that since the job isn't that difficult for the knights to do, and there isn't that much labour.

And compare the benefits of the reward and the labour they requested, it certainly is an unprecedented condition. So there is no way those knights deny their simple request. There's no way the stupid nobles would have thought that the knights they bribed might deceive them before they could even be happy.

But sadly their plan to have their own way using their position as the successor of an influential noble and the power of money to win the game is wasted before the game could even start.

Anyway, how can the knights who were coached by the Eldest Princess Aniue himself partake in such a bribery scheme? Since they are qualified enough that princess himself teaches them, then they clearly don't lack money or something. The plan was quickly exposed which even an idiot can predict, and this is the result.

I wonder what that guy's mother has eaten during the pregnancy period that she gives birth to such an idiot child? Or this is a genetic problem? Also, his bribing of the knights before Sylphy accepts his challenge shows how intelligent the man is. Didn't it cross his mind even once what would happen if Sylphy didn't accept his challenge? So, won't all his preparation go in vain?

Now that his master plan has collapsed, he must be crying in his mother's arms at home right now, hahaha, I really want to see his face and make fun of him, but alas, until the beginning of the game, this can't be possible, Myne thought funnily with a smile on his face, he really wants to see Claude's face, who is probably breaking the furniture in his house in a fit of rage.

"There isn't a problem to arrest Claude at this point in time as we have those knights as witnesses, but Father said that those who are not directly involved in this, their accomplices should also be arrested. It is also likely that each will have its own house involved, so all eight members will be arrested if all goes well," Lewis said with a frown.

"I see, and will Lord Husband be the only one harvesting in the forest without any companies?" Sylphy asked worriedly she also wanted to participate in this game but according to the game rules, no one can help Myne during the game.

"That's right, by the way, Mother and Sister are preparing for the wedding ceremony in the capital city. It'd be bad if this matter isn't settled quickly, since there's also the matter with the dragon. That's why the wedding ceremony's schedule will be considerably accelerated.

After this, I will send out a knight I brought along to Claude's house and tell him that you accept the challenge and the game will be carried out. The game's schedule and the marriage ceremony's schedule will then be officially decided.

To tell you the truth I am very excited about your wedding Sis, if there are not those troubles some matter, then I could enjoy more, but alas," Lewis said with a helpless smile while shaking his head.

"Also If the brother-in-law wins, it might be good to get them to consent to disinherit. Since they've paid quite the price, I think they'll gladly accept such a condition. There's also the fact that they are probably confident that they'll definitely win through backhanded means, after all."

I hope those guys really save up and store those rare and precious materials harvested beforehand, then I will really earn blood, just those guys didn't change their mind at the last moment, otherwise, it would be a big loss for me, Myne thought greedily while standing beside Aisha, and watching Sylphy who was hugging Lewis and saying goodbye as he is about to go back to the capital city.

"He seems to be really busy, this way he definitely not be able to enjoy his beautiful teenage days," Myne said with a helpless expression while shaking his head.

Aisha who heard Myne's nonsense couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Don't talk like an old man, you are not much older than him."

"This is not about age, I already have two beautiful wives, and I am enjoying my life very well without worrying about anything other than thinking that between you and Sylphy whom I should f*ck first tonight," Myne spoke in Aisha's ear with an evil smirk, making her blush.

"You look so cute when blushing," Myne said and give Aisha a quick kiss on her lips while Lewis and Sylphy not looking at them, after which he walked toward the window to see what Ted and his parent doing. He is still confused why they didn't bark when Lewis come.

Myne open the window and look outside toward Ted's dog house, and finally know why he was so silent all the time. In front of his house stood five 2 meters tall bulky men wearing full-body heavy golden knight armour, carrying 2 meters long silver colour spears in their hands, blocking Ted and his parents at a place.

Ted although trying to scare those knights while showing his big razor-like sharp teeth once in a while, but because his mother's foot was laying on top of his head, he can't do anything other than lay on the ground obediently and stare at the knights angrily.

Well, at least Ted's mother is smart enough to know when to retreat and when to attack, with her being around I can be rest accused that Ted won't cause any trouble, Myne thought with a satisfied expression on his face, and return back to Aisha and start teasing her.
