“You can take it if you like.” Dawn casually replies. In his mind, the cup only required a single point to create. Even if it breaks, that’s not going to hurt his wallet much after the influx of money just now.
“But don’t lose it though!” The guy quickly added after thinking further. He didn’t want ordinary folks to pick it up by accident. Otherwise, tomorrow’s headline would be all over this find.
“Then again, are you sure this is considered at the level of life creation?” Dawn asks again after getting no input from Shadow thus far.
“I believe not. The creation of life is a taboo, forbidden knowledge. Do you know how many witches and wizards have dabbled in this study over the centuries? There isn’t a single person ever succeeding in the subject as far as I know. My guess is… umm….” The catling outright denied the theory but couldn’t quite come up with another reason.
“A computer AI then?” Dawn suggests.
“Yes! That’s what I mean!” Shadow nodded vigorously, “The modification is probably a trait that enhances some aspects of the target, which may be related to the user’s subconscious knowledge.”
“What do you mean by that?” Dawn couldn’t follow.
“What does a water cup do?”
“Drink water.”
“That’s what I mean by trait. From your subconscious, this ordinary glass became a super cup that regulates the temperature and taste of the water.”
Dawn’s jaw dropped: “You’re suggesting if my imagination was big enough, I could’ve turned this cup into an artillery cannon?”
“Uhh, I think its already incredible that you can do this much Landlord.” Shadow huffs, “You’re a human so how are you supposed to control your subconsciousness? You will need some serious brainwashing to control that part.”
Dawn smiled awkwardly at the rebuke because it’s like the catling said. But then another issue popped up. If the God’s Hand ability could create anything to the heart’s content, wouldn’t it be the same as granting a wish?
“Hey Shadow, how come you’re able to think of all this so fast?” Dawn asked meekly, feeling ashamed at his own inability to conceive such thoughts first.
Thankfully he wasn’t the worst here. In comparison to the hamster being still immersed in the joy of getting an “AI cup”, he was already doing well in keeping up.
Shadow smiled: “It’s a guess, not like we’re going to lose a tail for guessing. If you are willing to spend a bit more points to modify a few more items, we can confirm the theory for good after a little analysis.”
“Hehe, let’s leave it for now. There are not many Order Points left so we need to be thrifty in our choices.” Dawn was extremely satisfied with the new skill and grew all giddy inside.
“Do you want to spin the last few draws?” Dawn asks after rechecking the spin wheel.
Greed was a natural desire in humanity, especially when there’s a fortune cat right before his very eye.
“Next time, you can’t expect luck to be always there you know.” Shadow shoots a charming smile and kills off the greedy air in the room.
Dawn makes an embarrassed chuckle at having his inner thoughts read. Taking out his phone to go over the winning, he quickly noticed something in his bank balance. According to the information, the ten thousand dollars didn’t get transferred into the account, but was there to begin with. How that worked was beyond the guy’s understanding, but he’s not complaining either.
