“I am home.” Announced Corey as she locked the door behind her.

“You are early today sweet pea.” William, who was cleaning the ceiling of the flat, inquired.

“I feel like I am about to break through to the card soldier realm. So I asked big sis Susan for an early leave.” Answered Corey as she headed to her room to freshen up.

“My granddaughter is the most talented. If only you were not be distracted with this new job of yours and single-mindedly concentrate on the cultivation you would have ascended into the card soldier realm much earlier.” William nagged

“Stop it, grandpa. I am not quitting my job. If anything it helped me grow a lot as a person.” Corey’s thoughts were different from her grandpa’s.

“I never asked you to quit, I just pointed out that you would have ascended to the card soldier realm a lot sooner without that job distracting you.” William didn’t seem to give up on his argument.

“I will not be having dinner tonight as I will be trying to break through to the realm so don’t disturb me.” Saying that Corey shut the door of her room.

Location- Sky Blossom City, D-rank Silver beach gate dungeon.

I conducted a series of quasi-experiments using the gathered data by observing the system of the D-rank Silver beach gate dungeon. And I was right this poisonous ocean water was indeed Silver milk. Silver milk is indeed deadly for a human as it has an insanely high level of sodium concentration in it. These levels of sodium concentration can lead to organ failure and heart attack even in a card student or a card scholar.

The reason for these high levels of sodium in the silver beach ocean water is the salts contained in the ocean water. These salts were not normal salt, they were highly concentrated and vigorous. In layman’s terms, these salts are strengthened by the soul energy which brings a change in their compound structure. Leading to insanely high levels of sodium concentration in the salts.

Sodium helps the body to maintain fluid levels. In the human body, the balance of fluids and sodium is necessary for the health of the heart, liver, and kidneys. It helps regulate blood fluids and prevents low blood pressure.

I consider the discovery of silver milk as a huge discovery because of the miraculous effects of the salts extracted from it. There is a popular belief that salts are best for food preservation, and are dubbed as microbe killers and food savers. But actually, not all salts are the same, some sea salts help in the growth of various types of microbes.

Similarly, the salts extracted from silver milk can help in the growth of a certain rare and special type of microbe which is commonly found in the earth’s atmosphere. A little amount of this salt when placed in an enclosed container void of light can produce tonnes of these microbes in the enclosed container. Later these microbes are extracted and processed to be stored in powdered form.

These microbes are special because they help in the all-around development and growth of the human body even breaking the normal limits of the human body reaching the superhuman level upon prolonged regular consumption. I did not know how these microbes did this until I came into this world, turns out these microbes help in increasing the active soul control % of humans with prolonged regular consumption.

In this world, there is no external way or shortcuts for achieving 10% active soul control. Nearly 86% of people in this world do not achieve 10% active soul control before 17 years old and are deemed as late bloomers for having a lesser talent for active soul control cultivation. These people will pay an arm or leg for their progeny to reach 10% soul control before they reach 17 years of age. Just take young Wyatt as an example, he was scammed into bankruptcy being promised a way to increase active soul control %.

If I were able to grow and mass produce these microbes then I would no longer have money troubles. Yes if I played my cards right I would no longer need to worry about money or soul jades but that is easier said than done. I may solve my money problem but I will be putting my life in jeopardy. If I had to monetize the microbes efficiently while ensuring my safety then I would have to find a strong backer and partner, who better than the one who governs everyone, the central government. If I get in bed with the government in the production and sales of these dry powdered microbes I will be making significantly less money but my life will be out of danger.

Revising the plans for my future course of action I began extracting salts from silver milk to cultivate a batch of the special microbes and produce the silver milk powder. Since the microbes are produced by the salts extracted from silver milk and consumed in the dry powdered form they are termed silver milk powder.

“Hey gramps what’s for dinner? I am starving.” Said Corey as she walked out of her room in nothing but a tight tank top and extra short shorts.

“Sorry, sweet pea. I only prepared dinner for myself since you said you did not want any.” William answered as he set up the dinner table for himself.

“Fine, then I will enjoy this meal as you prepare meals for both of us again. This amount of food will not satisfy my hunger.” Without care, Corey did not wait for William’s response and began devouring the meal William had prepared for himself.

“Sure, sweet pea. To celebrate you stepping into the card soldier realm, I will also bake a special dessert for you.” William excitedly headed to the kitchen satisfied seeing his beloved granddaughter enjoying his hand cooked meal.

“And gramps, I’m quitting my job at the association mall tomorrow.” Declared Corey with her face stuffed with food.

“Great!” Hearing Corey finally willing to quit her job as a mere staff William finally beamed with joy. Though he supported Corey’s decision it doesn’t mean that he thought his precious granddaughter working as a maid for a bunch of ants was a good idea. William was so happy that he failed to notice the change in Corey.
