Chapter 7: Treasure Hunting Traits.

Looking at the two beast-eared girls who had already been thoroughly washed by the servants, carefully groomed, and delivered to her bed,
Luvia’s fingers twirled in her hair as her mind refused to calm down…

Wait, where are their clothes?
Did they fail to load?

Although she could understand the servants’ intentions, Luvia still couldn’t help feeling a twinge of annoyance in her heart.
It seemed her reputation as someone who “favors young maidens” would be impossible to shake off cleanly.

Frosia had also been quite tactful by making herself scarce… using the excuse of “practicing swordsmanship” to slip away in a hurry.

Now only she remained, along with the two frostwolf tribe girls before her— their eyes dazed and unfocused, not a single thread covering their bodies…

Mm, time to get down to business.

Gazing at the purple glow above the heads of the two, Luvia focused her mind and activated the appraisal function on her panel.

【One free appraisal attempt consumed】
【Frostsha】
【Strength: 6 (6/15)】
【Stamina: 4 (4/13)】
【Intelligence: 3】
【Charm: 7】
【Mana: 13 (13/21)】
【Favorability: -12】
【Obedience: 100】
【Value Assessment: 10 silver coins】
【Trait 1: Mana Tolerance (C)】
【This unit can withstand mana far beyond ordinary people.】
【Trait 2: Keen Sense of Smell (D-)】
【Frostwolf tribe trait. Extremely sensitive sense of smell.】
【Trait 3: Rune Warrior (A-)】
【This unit has high mana tolerance and possesses exceptional combat talent. Can be reclassed as a Rune Warrior.】

Strength at 6, and it can recover to 15 after rest…?

Luvia found it somewhat hard to imagine. The girl who had been so weak in the cage that she could barely open her eyes actually had strength 4 points higher than her own.

Only now did she truly realize how serious her own Strength of 2 was… barely enough to beat an elementary school student. It really wasn’t sufficient.

The favorability was negative, as expected.

As for the most important purple trait—

Rune Warrior… that was quite an excellent combat class.

By engraving special magical runes across the entire body, one could achieve physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary warriors.

If cultivated to the later stages, they could even cast magic using a warrior’s physique— dual cultivation of martial and magical arts. Tearing apart giant dragons with bare hands would be nothing difficult!

Thinking of this, a hint of delight appeared on Luvia’s face.

“Hehe, I finally have candidates for guarding the house…”

Yet the moment they saw the smile on Luvia’s face,

“Wuu…”

A faint whimper sounded as both frostwolf tribe girls simultaneously bristled in fear…

“…Hm?”

Was it because they had suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment and felt uneasy?

Luvia tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, but still spoke words of comfort.

“What are you afraid of?”

“I spent so many gold coins to buy you two back. I won’t just play with you until you die…”

The faces of the two girls turned deathly pale in an instant. They tightly covered their mouths, not daring to make another sound.

Seeing this, Luvia nodded in satisfaction and shifted her gaze to the other one…

【Beep~】
【Your free appraisal attempts have been exhausted】
【Continuing appraisal costs: 10 gold coins】

…Seeing the pop-up window before her, Luvia couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

She suddenly wanted to travel back in time and slap the game planner who came up with this extortionate pricing.

Blue traits cost 1 gold coin to appraise, purple ones 10 gold coins, and golden ones actually required 100 gold coins…

And re-appraising the same target still cost money! Who on earth designed this money-grubbing system?

Oh, right. It was her own design…

Luvia felt like crying but had no tears.

All the evil deeds she had committed as the planner had now returned to her without missing a single one.

【-10 gold coins】
【Frosna】
【Strength: 4 (4/7)】
【Stamina: 5 (5/8)】
【Intelligence: 8】
【Charm: 8】
【Mana: 27 (27/34)】
【Favorability: -1】
【Obedience: 95】
【Value Assessment: 20 silver coins】
【Trait 1: Herb Identification (D)】
【This unit is well-versed in the medicinal properties of herbs.】
【Trait 2: Spirit Scent (A-)】
【Mutated frostwolf tribe trait. Can sniff out hidden magical materials in the vicinity.】
【Trait 3: Night Owl (D-)】
【When this unit is assigned to night shifts, work efficiency increases slightly.】
【Trait 4: Negotiation Expert (B)】
【When this unit performs negotiation or bargaining tasks, success rate increases significantly.】

Strength at 4… and it can reach 7 after rest.

Luvia noticed that Frosna’s attribute decline seemed smaller than Frostsha’s.

Tsk, was it because this little one had been constantly protecting her younger sister?

She glanced at the vigilant Frostsha, a trace of approval rising in her heart.

As for Frosna’s purple trait—

Spirit Scent?

Sniffing out magical materials?

Luvia repeatedly pondered the small text in the description.

Gradually, her eyes slowly widened.

Wait,

Isn’t this a treasure-hunting trait?!

…

In the game “Bondage,” treasure-hunting traits were extremely special existences.

Because they were almost only useful to players in the early stages.

After all, beautiful girls possessing treasure-hunting traits could continuously generate resources.

Zero cost, zero price!

New server accounts with treasure-hunting traits drawn at the start could even be sold at sky-high prices!

After all… who wouldn’t want to dominate the server and become a capitalist? To gain a massive early advantage, these beautiful girls with treasure-hunting traits were absolutely indispensable.

In “Bondage,” the importance of first-mover advantage was beyond doubt! Win the first step, and you win every step— ultimately achieving a snowballing, crushing superiority!

So,

She had actually rolled a god-tier account for herself?!

Thinking of this, Luvia could no longer suppress the corners of her mouth.

She climbed onto the bed lightly and nimbly, staring at the two obedient frostwolf tribe girls before her with a predatory, wolf-like gaze…

“Slurp…”

“…”

“!?

This noble young lady just slurped her saliva, right?

Frosna’s heart gave a slight start. She involuntarily leaned closer to her older sister…

During their escape, she and her sister had agreed that no matter who captured them, they would pretend they could not speak.

Perhaps the captor would find them boring and simply discard them?

But they had been too naive… After being locked in the cage day after day, those detestable humans had barely even given them water.

Their injuries kept worsening, their bodies growing weaker and weaker. Frosna had never felt death approaching them so clearly, step by step.

But today…

This beautiful human noble young lady had bought them, given them expensive treatment, and even provided them with plenty of delicious food!

She just didn’t understand why this young lady, despite her delicate and lovely appearance, looked somewhat… terrifying when she smiled?

Still, no matter what, Frosna’s heart was actually filled with gratitude.

She even wondered whether she should break the agreement with her sister and speak up to thank this noble young lady—

Until—

She and her sister were sent to the noble young lady’s bed, completely naked…

Earlier, while still locked in the cage, Frosna had secretly overheard the conversation between the noble young lady and the slave merchant.

And now, she finally understood what it meant…

This young lady who looked so cute actually had such a strange fetish in private!

“Little treasures~~”

“Slurp… you two are truly my treasures!”

Frosna watched as Luvia crawled forward on all fours. A flash of panic appeared in her eyes.

This noble young lady… seemed to be coming straight for her!

“Wu-gu…”

Frosna only managed to let out a strange cry before being pulled into Luvia’s embrace…
