God of Tricksters

Theo frowned and opened the message.

"I am coming over in two days. Do you have something to do?"

Theo squinted his eyes and looked down, contemplating his choice. He was supposed to leave tomorrow, but considering this was the invitation surely related to his future, Theo decided to accept it.

"Yes."

After another hour, Maya called him directly.

"Hello."

"Hi, how are you?"

"Great.. So, I am assuming you call me because of the meeting, right?"

"Yep. I need to know the place and time."

"You can put a…" Theo suddenly fell silent, hesitating to tell her what to do next. He had two choices: Meet her with a clone or meet her with his real body.

After considering a few things, Theo chose the former and said, "Just put a mission in Fighter Temple for me. You can state the place and time there and we will meet on the same day. I will notify my assistant to inform me."

"Awesome. I have booked the plane tomorrow, so I will visit you the day after. Also, I have several things I want to discuss."

"Okay, we can discuss after we meet." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Sure. In that case, wait for me. Bye, have a good day."

Maya hung up while Theo put down his Skylink.

"Ava, we're going to postpone our expedition for one day," Theo told Ava about the meeting before sitting on the couch, trying to find a place that fit all the criteria he had.

"Where do you think we can go, Ava?" Theo asked Ava, who came to sit on top of his chest, staring at the map.

Theo pointed at the map and explained, "This place is north of Ark City and our final destination is my brother's hideout, which lies in a small forest next to Reen Canyon.

"Because the level of monsters in this canyon is the highest, I think we can enter the canyon from all directions. In the north, we have Sky Mountain. This place is filled with monsters that had Ice Affinity.

"I don't think we can do much in a cold environment, so I want to keep it warm. Hence, we should look at the mini desert on the west of the canyon. This desert has too many scorpions hiding underneath the sand. Not only do I not like poison, but the monsters are also hard to find. I guess this is also out of option.

"The south and the east of this canyon are grass plains. It will be too hot during the sunset, but it won't be too much of a problem, unlike the other two.

"What I want is a place that can satisfy our requirements, so this is our current place. For now, I'm going to search for the missions around that area. If you have something to say, tell me now," said Theo while opening another tab to find a mission.

Unfortunately for him, the monsters around this place were a bit too strong, making each mission expensive. In that situation, the demands significantly decreased, so Theo could only find three missions for both forests.

Mission: Destroy Blazing Ants Nest.

Level: 370

Reward: 20,000,000 Zils

Mission: Kill a T-Rex and get its fangs.

Level: 400

Reward: 30,000,000 Zils

Mission: Snatch Pterodactyl's Egg.

Level: 390

Reward: 35,000,000 Zils

"What is this… Dinosaurs?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw this mission. The reward was close to a level 580 mission which was to kill a Supreme Rank Expert. However, considering that mission was just a reward for Theo, he understood why the reward was close.

"This government is stingy." Theo chuckled and shook his head helplessly. "Well, I can't blame them. Many have died as well, so yeah, I will not care about it.

"Still, missions like this are fit for several people, so the reward will usually be split. But since I'm alone with my clone, I can get the full reward." Theo looked down, pondering. "I guess I should be lucky to have my clone.

"Also, I'm not going to do the last one." Theo shook his head furiously. "Although they are monsters, I don't like to get separated from my family. Maybe, it's because the mission is similar to my own past, but yeah, I'm not gonna do that one. I guess it's just the first two. What do you think, Ava?"

Ava turned around and raised her foot, showing her approval.

"Awesome."

After that, Theo started searching for his skill replacements.

Now that he had reached this step, he understood the effort to search for a new one as the C Rank Skills were not that good even if he wanted to upgrade them. There was no skill fit to be used when he reached Supreme Rank.

However, Ava's skill inspired him a little bit as he found one interesting skill.

Skill: Magic Augmentation (C)

Effect: Allow the user to enhance skills and objects with extra Magic Power. This skill can only be used every three minutes.

In that instant, he knew he should have this skill to increase his power even more. Without hesitation, Theo brought the skill and replaced his Illusion Multiplier.

He then brought several C Rank Skills with the rest of his money, allowing him to upgrade two more C Rank Skills to B Rank.

However, he soon hesitated because if he upgraded two more skills, he would only have 3 C Rank Skills left. He would have trouble managing his Magic Power, so Theo only upgraded one C Rank Skill while saving the other Skill Cards to be used after he was ready.

And the skill he upgraded was none other than the new skill he had.

Skill: Magic Augmentation (B)

Effect: Allow the user to enhance skills and objects with extra Magic Power(+) once. This skill can only be used every two minutes.

"Well, it's pretty good." Theo shrugged, knowing that he could use this skill to strengthen his weapons or skills. "Also, I am planning to get a new Illusion Skill, so yeah, it's gonna be a blast after this. I hope when I go to another country, they won't be too stingy with me."

"Anyway, with this, everything is done. I only need to meet with Maya the day after tomorrow."
