Jeanny nodded and said, "It said here that this Book of Creation allowed me to duplicate anything."

"Yes, Peniel informed me about it. You still have to pay mana cores to duplicate an item though," Jack said. "Hey, do you need to accumulate exp for that divine treasure's ability?"

"Both Book of Creation and Chalice of Space did not provide combat capabilities, so they didn't have levels and hence no need to collect exp," Peniel explained.

"Ah, I see. So you didn't need to halt your leveling progress," Jack said.

"Let's give this skill a try," Jeanny said.

"Don't waste it on trivial items. Mana cores don't come easy," Peniel advised.

"I have the perfect item for a test," Jeanny said. A tome appeared on her hand.

"What is that?" Jack asked.

"It's a technique book for a Mega Spell, Absolute Zero Lotus. It's a large-scale offensive ice element spell," Jeanny informed. "We got it from a dungeon boss' drops. I originally wanted to give it to Trinity Dawn when she returns. This Book of Creation's ability came at a right time."

"Wow, a mega spell. We finally get one," Jack remarked.

"That is a perfect choice to use the ability on," Peniel agreed. "A mega spell takes too long a time to cast, but the casting time can be shortened if multiple magic classes cast it at the same time. That is a five-runes mega spell, you should make four copies so five casters can synch-cast the spell."

"Five copies, we should leave at least one copy in our leader-section warehouse," John advised. "And we should do the same for all other technique books. In that way, we can have a library of spells and skills available to copy. Members can pay corresponding mana cores needed for a copy if they wish to learn the spell. Of course, we didn't say that we will copy the book. We simply said that we have extra stock."

"I see. This way, we can strengthen our member's overall battle prowess with a large selection of skills and spells," Jack said.

"I will issue a guild notification to have anyone who acquired new technique books not to immediately use them," Jeanny said. "They will be awarded contribution points and the technique books will still be returned to them after a set amount of time."

"We will need a lot of mana cores in that case once the books started trickling in," Jack mentioned.

"I will increase contribution points set for mana cores as well," Jeanny said after hearing it.

After setting the notification, Jeanny proceeded with the attempt to copy the mega spell technique book.

"Uh.. It said I need 800 mana cores. I don't have that much.." Jeanny informed.

"That many..? We can forget about making five copies in the near future," Jack said.

"We can copy one first and let Trinity Dawn learns the spell. We will make another copy once we have enough mana core. I have 420 mana cores. But I need to leave some for use, I can spare 400. How many do the two of you have?"

"I have a bit more than 300 mana cores," Jeanny said.

"I have less than 200," John informed.

"Why do you have so few?" Jack complained to John.

"I don't go out grinding much," John said.

"How do you keep your level then?"

"I wait until others level up and then order them to power-level me. That way I can spend more time organizing other things."

"Organizing my ass! You are just lazy," Jack criticized.

"You two can argue later, now give me the mana cores," Jeanny requested.

Jack fished out his 400 mana cores and gave them to Jeanny. She and John then adjusted theirs. They barely managed to hit the required 800 mana cores.

"We have to task more members in gathering these mana cores," Jeanny said.

"Don't worry, higher-level monsters will give more mana cores," Peniel informed. "The drops of mana cores scale better compare to drop of coins. You won't see too far the difference of coins dropped by low-level monsters and high-level ones, but you will see a decent increase in terms of mana cores."

"Good to know," Jeanny commented. At the same time, she activated the interface to do the duplication process. The mana cores and technique book floated from her hands. The mana cores then swirled around the technique books before they coalesced and formed a shape made out of light. This shape was the same as the technique book floating beside it. The light dissipated and showed a second identical technique book. The two books then fell into Jeanny's hands.

"Sweet!" Jack said.

"Try this one," John had taken off his God-eye monocle and gave it to Jeanny.

Although they didn't have any more mana cores, Jeanny was curious about the cost to duplicate this monocle. But when he tried to activate the interface to copy it, she heard a notification that it was an invalid item.

"You can't copy alien entity," Peniel informed.

John took back his God-eye monocle in disappointment.

It was Jack's turn now, he handed a Magic Crystal to Jeanny and said, "Do me a favor. When you have enough mana cores, please copy ten of this crystal. I need them to upgrade my Lightning God Blessing."

"That thing can be upgraded? Isn't it already too overpowered even now?" John said.

"Master had two of these things inside of him, for now. We don't know if he will ever get the Ice God Sphere," Jack replied. "If he upgrades them first, I will be left even far behind. I need to increase my power further to at least put up a fight."

Jeanny accepted the crystal and checked its duplication cost. It required 200 mana cores. She stored it for later duplication.

"Speaking of increasing your power, how are you doing with your third class?" John asked.

"I will be taking the Beastmaster test today," Jack answered.

"Good heaven! You have just gotten that third class a bit over half a month ago. Ain't that cheating to level up so fast?"

"I fought and killed a level 60 rare elite and completed an SS-difficulty quest. What do you think?"

John froze hearing that. He decided not to ask further.

"Well, good luck with your Beastmaster test. We are very close to becoming a level 3 guild, I think we will achieve that within this week," Jeanny said.

"I need to say. After I'm done with my test, I will be heading out to prioritize leveling up and increasing my bloodline power. It might take a really long time," Jack informed.

"Of course, why am I not surprised?" John uttered.

Jack ignored him. He gave Jeanny a letter, "Please help me to deliver this to Commander Quintus. You should be able to meet him freely considering your faction military status. It is for Prince Alonzo. This is my quest but I will report it later after I'm done leveling up. I'm afraid they will force me to continue my chain faction quest if I do it myself. After the last quest, I'm sure I'm not strong enough yet. Tell the commander I will return to continue the quest as soon as possible."

"All right," Jeanny said, accepting the letter.

"For you, take this," Jack gave John the Blood Count Insignia.

"Something for me as well?" John said with glee.

"Not for you, for the guild," Jack said.

John checked the thing and exclaimed, "Another unique insignia? Wow, our army will be undefeatable!"

"I hope so. I get this from a vampire boss. Judging from the name, I suspect it is a vampire unit. So it might see its fullest potential at night or something like that. Anyway, use it as you deem fit."

"We have a lot of things to build and armies to train once we reach level 3. We will be short on funds. Are you going to donate coins again this time?"

"You are truly unscrupulous. Go get your own coins to donate!" Jack chided. "I won't donate this time. I have just enough to do something with the coins which might give me more coins in return in the future."

What Jack meant was the third and final upgrade to Ellie's restaurant. His purse currently contained 554 gold coins, so he decided to do that upgrade first.

He left the two and used the teleportation chamber to teleport to Thereath. He had sent a notice to Ellie that he wanted to do the final upgrade. Ellie was ecstatic about it, their business was going strong and many customers had to queue in wait because the number of tables was not enough to cater to all of them. Jack was amazed, this couple was truly good in this restaurant business.

Despite her eagerness, Ellie said to wait until tonight after the restaurant was closed before proceeding with the upgrade. This would give her enough time to make a notice to her customers. This upgrade should take even more days than the last time.

Jack agreed with her, so he headed instead to the Beastmaster class test venue.
