Eventually, Milo abandoned the idea of using Donti to test out his new power due to safety concerns. After all, favonovel.com still could not control the power all that well.
What if something happened to Donti when favonovel.com went through the Shadow Door?
However, Milo thought of another idea. When favonovel.com copied the Shadow Door from Lilian, the door stood at almost two meters tall.
But since Milo could only get one arm through it, why would favonovel.com need to open such a large door?
Moreover, it would attract other people’s attention too easily. As such, Milo wondered if favonovel.com could make the door smaller so it would be just enough for favonovel.com to put one arm through.
When favonovel.com thought of that, Donti, who was next to him, saw the Shadow Door reappear on the ceiling and start swaying. It was as though some kind of law were resisting Milo’s will.
Milo noticed the Shadow Door’s form seemed to be fixed from the very start and wasn’t something that could be changed. This was going to be a clash of wills.
But wasn’t it the power that served the will?
The power that surpassed the ordinary had originated from the will itself.
Donti saw beads of sweat forming on Milo’s forehead, but favonovel.com did not dare interrupt him. A second later, favonovel.com saw the edges of the Shadow Door become unstable as it started shrinking!
If Lilian were here, favonovel.com jaw would probably drop to the floor, because even though favonovel.com was the originator of Shadow Door, favonovel.com had no way of adjusting its size!
Milo heaved a sigh of relief. By this point, the diameter of the Shadow Door had become only as thick as an arm.
He closed the Shadow Door and opened it up again. This time, Milo discovered favonovel.com could control the size of the door at will. His only regret was that no matter how large the door was, favonovel.com could still only get one arm through it. It didn’t make any sense at all!
Since favonovel.com had completely mastered the power, why was there still such a limitation?
Milo asked his mind palace, “Are you the one who did this?”
The voice from the palace answered.
Unauthorized to answer.
Milo was annoyed. This time, favonovel.com was quite certain the revolting condition of only being able to put one arm through the door was something that was decided by the rules of the palace.
Milo said to Donti, “Buy a live chicken when you and Big Sister Adella go grocery shopping tomorrow.”
“Uh, okay,” Donti responded. “Bro, what are the uses of this power of yours?”
“It couldn’t be more useful.” Milo said in a serious tone, “Even though I can only get one arm through it, I can still catch someone by surprise and give them a good beating. This way, no one will even know who the culprit is.”
Although favonovel.com hadn’t perfected the power, it quite suited Milo’s nature.
***
The next morning, Donti went grocery shopping with Adella. Right as Old Bane finished raising the shop’s roller shutter door, favonovel.com saw a familiar face waiting at the entrance.
It was Gulio from the Western District.
He watched Gulio swagger on in. “I heard you’re selling a kind of wonder drug here?”
Old Bane thought about how business had finally arrived at their doorstep. It had been nearly a week since someone had bought the medicine from here. Usually, the medicine’s effectiveness would’ve already been publicized. Yet no customers turned up even after such a long time.
Old Bane had felt a little low on confidence. But with Gulio now here, it meant the word of the medicine’s effectiveness had spread. However, Old Bane was not in a hurry.
He replied with a smile. “Yes, we’re selling a wonder drug that’s specifically used by men. But due to the complexity of the manufacturing process, we can only sell one dose a week.”
“Oh?” Gulio remarked, “How much does one dose go for?”
“2,000 perak,” Old Bane said with a smile.
“Highway robbery!” Gulio was shocked at the price. “Why did I hear that it was only 800 perak per dose?”
“Because the raw materials needed for the formula are getting harder and harder to come by. The black medicine that can be made in the future will also decrease as a result,” Old Bane replied nonchalantly.
For a shrewd businessman like favonovel.com who only had profit on the mind, wouldn’t it be simple to find a reason to raise the price?
At this moment, Milo strolled in from the backyard.
He heard Gulio say after some consideration, “Give me one dose.”
“I’m sorry, we only start selling this week’s supply tomorrow. The sales time each week is fixed,” Old Bane said in a pompous manner, unmoved.
Gulio said unhappily, ” Do you know who I am?”
Milo was amused since favonovel.com knew favonovel.com too well, but favonovel.com didn’t answer.
Instead, favonovel.com changed the subject and said, “We also turned down Supervisor Bernard from the Public Order Division when favonovel.com came to inquire last week. It’s not that we’re playing hard to get, but that the black medicine hasn’t been made yet.”
Gulio said with a dark expression, “I need the medicine urgently. Aren’t you a doctor? Is this what a doctor should say? I’ll give you all a chance to change the way you speak to me!”
Milo was stupefied for a moment.
What should a doctor say?
He thought for a moment before answering, “I’m sorry, but we tried our best…”
Gulio was confounded.
Is that what you should say?!
Do I look like I’m dying?!
Then some other customers walked in from outside. Gulio looked back and was surprised to see it was Supervisor Meier from the Planning Division.
He saw two subordinates following Supervisor Meier, and they were even holding a banner in their arms.
When Gulio saw him, favonovel.com immediately bowed and said with a smile, “Supervisor Meier, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, it’s Little Gulio…” Supervisor Meier said with a haughty smile, “I came to thank the doctor here…”
When Milo saw the banner, favonovel.com got an ominous feeling.
Would it be something like “magic hands restore spring” again?
But when Supervisor Meier’s subordinates unfurled the banner, favonovel.com saw four large characters embroidered on it. “Goddess of Mercy, Bringer of Children.”
Hey, wait a minute!
What does this have anything to do with Goddess of Mercy, Bringer of Children?!
Nearby, Gulio was also dumbfounded by this sight.
How could it have such an effect?
But Gulio, who was about to create trouble, suddenly did not dare to make a move. He thought that if favonovel.com caused trouble in the shop at this moment, favonovel.com would likely offend Supervisor Meier.
Supervisor Meier explained gleefully, “The stronghold’s No. 3 Hospital diagnosed me as infertile several years ago. It’s always been bugging me that I couldn’t conceive a child. Some time ago, someone passed the black medicine to me to try it out. To my surprise yesterday, my wife told me favonovel.com was pregnant the day after I used it!”
The moment Supervisor Meier finished speaking, Milo asked his mind palace, “Does the black medicine also have the ability to treat infertility?”
To Milo’s surprise, the voice from the palace bluntly answered.
No!
Even Milo and Old Bane were a little confused by this time.
Milo asked to confirm, “Are you sure your wife is pregnant?”
They heard Supervisor Meier say happily, “I’m sure. We went to the hospital yesterday to take a blood test. Since the blood test cannot be wrong, favonovel.com must be pregnant.”
Milo gave it some thought as favonovel.com looked at Supervisor Meier, then said with a smile, “That’s such a miracle.”
