The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　It went from a negligible decimal to an integer.

　This means that it has truly awakened its status as a phantom god!

　Although this divinity still cannot compare to that of Dark's Bastimon and Luna, it represents a groundbreaking leap for itself.

　Pandora took a deep breath and smiled, saying, "I understand."

　Dark nodded and said, "That's good. Now that all three magical spirits have awakened their intelligence, it's about time we headed back."

　Pandora replied, "Yes, let's go back."

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "This is just an equal exchange."

　Pandora gave a rare wry smile and said, "If it could be on equal footing..."

　Dak said, “Don’t worry about it. This is an unexpected change for me too. But we can’t overturn the deal just because of a sudden increase in commodity prices. Let’s stick to what we agreed on.”

　Dark lowered his head slightly, pondering the changes in Behemoth's Earth Dragon and the significance they represented.

　Pandora was also processing her shock, and she gained a deeper understanding of the power Dark possessed.

　Unbeknownst to them, they had already exited the secret passage and returned to the castle's main passage.

　The two walked side by side toward the entrance of the secret passage.

　Torches on both sides of the secret passage lit up one after another, continuously illuminating the path ahead.

　The sound of their footsteps gradually synchronized in the quiet night.

　In the blink of an eye, Pandora's figure disappeared.

　Dark's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to touch his right cheek, confirming that he had indeed been ambushed.

　"They lack martial ethics."

　"Then we..."

　Dark turned slightly, preparing to discuss with Pandora where to go.

　But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly smelled an extremely close fragrance, and then a deep, moist mark was left on his cheek.

　"This deal tonight was pretty profitable."

　After that, Dak did not immediately return to the tower, but instead spent some time on the Lovers' Bridge, reflecting on the meaning of life, before heading towards the tower.

　His heart began to pound.

　The notifications about increasing bliss kept flashing before my eyes.

　This brought him back to his senses, and he used the Dark God Technique to suppress the further growth of Bliss.

　It's 2:40 AM on November 1st. But since Halloween falls on a Friday this year, today, tomorrow, and the day after are all holidays.

　Students can sleep until they naturally wake up without worrying about professors deducting credits.

　"Click."

　Tonight is a special time; there are no curfews at the college.

　Dak pushed open the tower door and found students still playing around in the common room, their excitement undiminished.

　He avoided the heatwave and went straight up the stairs to the door of dormitory 301.

　Most of them had already climbed onto their little beds, either taking a nap or reading while half-lying down.

　When he entered the room, the magical elves all turned to look at him, then those who were going to sleep went to sleep, and those who were going to read continued reading.

　Cat Grass's steady breathing came from the cradle beside the bed.

　Dak opened the door and went inside.

　The dormitory room was very quiet.

　Although the magical spirits returned ahead of schedule, they did not continue to make noise indoors.

　Dak climbed into bed in a good mood and was about to close his eyes to sleep when the cardholder on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

　He took the card holder with a hint of doubt and pulled out a door card instead of a college admission card!

　“（￢￢）”

　Darke tiptoed into the bedroom, took out the cane hanging from his waist, slowly put it down, then took off his coat, took out his pajamas from the closet, and quietly slipped into the bathroom.

　After washing up, he walked out of the bathroom, glanced at the two holy swords hanging on the wall and the backpack full of his spoils, and suddenly remembered something.

　"Oh dear, I forgot to give Victoria a gift. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow!"

　"Good night." Dak typed the same message and sent it.

　He then placed the key card on the bedside table and crawled into bed.

　He slept soundly that night, with a smile playing on his lips the whole time.

　Darke infused the card with magic to activate it, then opened it.

　"Senior Pandora? Is something wrong with her so late?"

　Dak unfolded the message and saw that it contained only two words: "Good night."

　He had a lot to deal with on the first morning of November, but that would be after breakfast.

　On the desk, a vegetable basket with newspapers inserted was already placed.

　Little Devimon wrapped it in a thick towel to prevent heat loss from inside.

　At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the autumn sun shone into the room, and Dak woke up surrounded by his two arms.

　He rubbed his eyes, reached out and pinched Sylveon's little paws, then happily got out of bed to wash up.

　Some things are very funny, while others are completely unfunny.

　Dak read it all without any emotional fluctuation.

　He then put the cutlery back into the basket, had Little Devimon return it, and summoned the system list.

　After washing up, Dark sat down at his desk, lifted the towel, ate his still-warm breakfast, and rewarded Little Devimon with a little red flower.

　Halloween.

　Both the Daily of the Great Sage and the Daily of the Clowns used special holiday pages, and the information published on them was mostly related to Halloween, especially detailing the various things that happened on Halloween Eve.

　Jealousy: 4343

　Rage: 9291

　Laziness: 6060

　"System, expand the list."

　Pride: 9292

　In his final act of extraction in October, Dak chose arrogance.

　At that time, the crime index had been suppressed to below 90. However, after a 20-day ordeal, all indices rose again.

　Greed: 9894

　Binge eating: 8790

　Bliss: 9398

　Finally, there is the growth of bliss!

　On October 10th, Bliss had only 90 points left, but now it has surged by 8 points, becoming the most valuable Sin!

　This was somewhat expected, but it is still truly regrettable.

　The increase in arrogance is still within an acceptable range, and the outburst of anger has been brought under control.

　But after greed absorbed a full 8 points last month, it has risen back to 94 points, which shows that greed is indeed human nature and difficult to control.

　The growth of Gluttony is actually under control. When it grows to 94 points, Dark will consider extracting 4 points and using 3 of them to refine Gluttony 2 for research purposes.

　Greed: 10

　Bliss: 0

　Rage: 1

　Dark smiled helplessly and tallied up the remaining reserves of major sins.

　Pride: 4

　Dak recorded the data, then opened his backpack and began to tally up what he had gained the previous night.

　He obtained almost all the materials by conquering resource points. However, occasionally encountering special monsters would drop gift boxes. So, he actually obtained more than twenty materials last night.

　However, most of these are common materials, which can even be purchased in the Traveler's Street.

　"Okay."

　"Although I've always wanted to save more, I really have a feeling that I can't save any more."

　Oceanic ice shell (ice shell)

　Soul Orb (King of Ghosts)

　Kuroshio Gem (Kuroshio Octopus)

　The 50,000 credits he earned at this masquerade ball have further enriched his credit reserve.

　He divided the materials into two parts, and then arranged the higher-quality parts in the order they were obtained:

　Water element beads (water element)

　The Ocean Ice Shell was an item he obtained after conquering the sixth resource point; its grade was relatively low. However, the ice element it contained was very pure, making it a suitable material for crafting ice-type magical spirits.

　Insect Silver (Abyssal Giant Insect)

　Soul Orb (Dark Mummy)

　Ghost Serpent Crystal (Ghost Serpent)

　However, the Soul Orb that dropped after he killed the Dark Mummy was of far inferior quality to the Soul Orb that dropped after killing the Ghost King.

　In summary

　Of these seven items, the rarest is Insect Silver.

　The Black Tide Gem was obtained after he killed the octopus monster hiding in the darkness when conquering the eighth resource point. It contains abundant dark and water elemental energy. As for the Insect Silver, Ghost Serpent Crystal, and Water Element Orb, they need no further explanation.

　The remaining two soul orbs came from elite monsters at the seventh and tenth resource points, respectively.

　Ocean ice shells are the lowest grade, but they might be used to refine large tongue shells.

　Shellder can evolve into Cloyster, a Pokémon specializing in defense.

　However, considering that there is no card representing the water element, the sin of jealousy, this is not actually a good idea.

　The highest grade is the Ghost Serpent Demon Crystal.

　Then the Water Element Bead, the Insect Silver, and the Soul Bead dropped by the Ghost King are all of the same grade.

　Next are the Black Tide Gems and the Soul Orbs dropped by the Dark Mummies.

　"Once I've extracted enough Bliss, I'll consider completing the process! It's also time to add a new family member."

　Dark carefully examined the jet-black, round soul bead and couldn't help but smile.

　When it comes to Ghost-type Pokémon, the first thing that comes to his mind is the Gastly family!

　Dark's main focus is on Ghost-type Soul Orbs and Ghost Serpent Crystals.

　The current surge in Bliss makes it an ideal time to craft Ghost-type Magical Spirits.

　Considering that the Ghost Serpent Crystal is too specialized, while the Ghost King's Soul Orb is more suitable, Dark temporarily set his sights on this Soul Orb.

　Soroya from the Shizuku region is based on a fox cub. Its body is grayish-pink, its pupils are orange-yellow, its long fur on its neck is like a scarf, and its limbs, the area around its eyes, and the flame-shaped protrusions on its head are all pinkish-white.

　Despite its seemingly constant complaining, its cuteness remains undeniable.

　And its evolved form, the Cursed Fox Pokémon Zoroark, is also very cool.

　Gastly, Haunter, Gengar

　Then there's the pink magical sprite I mentioned earlier—Zoroa!

　Zorua has two forms: one is the Dark-type Fox Pokémon, and the other is the Normal/Ghost-type Fox Pokémon.
