Ptah was staring at the golden screen.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Send Saly to the ninth floor of the dungeon]
[As a main reward, you will receive a magical item that maps everything within a two-kilometer radius after use and marks locations with materials of interest (Works only on intermediate floors)]

[Additional rewards: Saly has demonstrated rapid growth, motivation, and teamwork by reaching the ninth floor of the dungeon in less than half a year, accompanied by another familia member without external help, which is quite a decent achievement for a small familia. You will receive the following rewards:
-Two guaranteed magic grimoires (Restricted to the Ptah Familia)
-Basic knowledge of magical engravings
-Ring of Teleportation
-Voice of Ptah
-Aegis Pendant]

Ptah was quite surprised by the large number of rewards and couldn't stop staring at the part where he was rewarded with two grimoires. He kept thinking about who he should give them to, but the only person that came to mind was a little fox girl with blonde hair. After all, she had the most overpowered magic in the entire series, which even the creator admitted was made solely for plot convenience. So, she was the best option by far.

Ptah looked around and saw that Lenoa was flipping through a book accompanied by Lena, so he stopped thinking about the grimoires and gently snapped his fingers, making the system interface appear before him.

The smile on Ptah's face grew more and more noticeable as he read his new knowledge and realized that he could finally use magic. Even Lenoa and Lena noticed from afar that Ptah was waiting at the counter, staring into space with a smile.

"Is Lord Ptah sick?" Lena asked her grandmother in a whisper, seeing Ptah's strange behavior.

Lenoa simply shook her head and murmured, "I've never heard of a God getting sick, he must have remembered something pleasant or something like that." After that, both of them remained silent and continued reading the book in their hands, which was about a story of wizards traveling the world, ignoring the strangeness of the God Ptah.

Meanwhile, Ptah had moved his fingers beneath the counter to give instructions to the system.

Ring of Teleportation: Allows the wearer to use mind to teleport instantly over a distance depending on accumulated magic stats and level ups, the more distance, the more mind it consumes.

-A minimum of 100 magic is required to teleport half a meter.

- Must wait a full thirty days before it can be used again.

- It will activate if the user senses they are in great danger.Does not require mind.

Usage condition:

- Belong to the Ptah Familia.

Ptah's smile disappeared, and he rolled his eyes when he saw the following words on both items 'Usage condition: Belong to the Ptah Familia.'

What kind of crap is this? Can't I get something I can sell right away? Just selling one of these things would get me enough to buy really good equipment for the girls, a solid base so we wouldn't have to live in Saly's tiny house, and good materials to improve my skills and knowledge. Ptah felt very frustrated about this.

But he also knew he couldn't complain to the system because he would simply be biting the hand that fed him. After all, without the system, he wouldn't get anything even if he sent Saly and Aisha to the ninth floor. So it was just giving him rewards for things he would eventually do in the future. Therefore, insulting the system would be like slapping someone who gave him a great job where he didn't have to do too much, besides giving him time to study at a good university for free, just because they didn't want to give him a slight pay raise when he asked for it.

After reviewing the part where he could now use magic again, he felt very excited, but he couldn't talk to the system at that moment, so he left it for later.

With a sigh and another snap of his fingers—different fingers this time—the window began to show Saly and Aisha exploring the ninth floor, even though he had only told them to go there and then come back.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a very beautiful elf with slightly long green hair appeared, though it wasn't too long. She also wore a yellow outfit with a white cape, but what stood out the most was a very beautiful silver staff adorned with gems.

It didn't take long for Ptah to recognize her. After all, she was someone very famous throughout Orario, and she had already visited this shop several times since he started working here.

She approached the counter slowly and said in a calm and serene voice, "Good afternoon, Lord Ptah," with a slight bow.

"Good afternoon, Riveria. The usual?" When she heard Ptah's words, she nodded and handed over her staff before saying, "Yes, please." Ptah took the staff and said, "It will be ready by tomorrow at dawn."

"By the way, I have some interesting potions I made myself. Would you like some?" Ptah had not yet personally sold any potions to anyone because many turned out defective when he experimented with different mixtures. Of the ones that worked, he only sold a few to replenish materials and continue experimenting, as well as to buy some things, while the rest he gave to Saly and Aisha.

Riveria seemed a bit interested when she heard this. She knew that many Gods who dedicated themselves to this kind of work were often much better than some adventurers with Development Abilities.

"'Magic Break Potion' – Potions capable of temporarily increasing magic at the cost of higher mind consumption when casting spells."

When she heard the potion's effect, her interest grew.

"How many of those potions do you have?"

"I have three." These potions had to be made with very expensive ingredients, and he often failed to make them because the process was very delicate. If he made even the slightest mistake, the ingredients would be wasted. In the end, he only managed to make a batch of five magic-enhancing potions, of which he gave one to Saly and one to Aisha.

"Then I would like to buy them. What would their price be?" Riveria asked calmly. She was quite curious about how much magic could be increased by consuming the potion.

"I don't know, around 250,000 Valis each, give or take. They're very difficult to make," he said, half-jokingly, but he was surprised when he heard Riveria's response.

She began searching through the pockets of her outfit and pulled out exactly 750,000 Valis. "That's fine, here you go."

Ptah began taking the potions out of his inventory, pretending to pull them from a drawer beneath the counter. Then, after holding the three potions that shone with a translucent blue light, he handed them to Riveria. "Thank you for your purchase," Ptah said with a big smile that showed the sincerity of his words.

She nodded and cast a quick glance at Lenoa, who was still reading the book with her granddaughter, feeling a complex emotion as she saw them. But then she left the hidden witch's shop after saying, "See you later."

When she left, Ptah felt a bit anxious. Seeing her reminded him that soon there would be an attack by Evilus to buy time for a God to try recruiting Aiz, which would ultimately result in the summoning of the Black Wyvern.

Why don't I try to intervene? Those words had crossed his mind before, but then he remembered that Aiz needed good character development. Besides, he didn't have any way to intervene without seeming completely suspicious, and he didn't have a strong reason to do so.

Ptah set the staff aside because Lenoa would be the one to maintain it. He didn't even want to touch that staff in case he accidentally damaged it or something. He didn't want to end up more in debt than the Hestia Familia when Hestia asked Hephaestus for the knife.

He gave one last glance at the girls, who seemed to be on their way back, and smiled as he watched them climb up the stairs.

"What an interesting potion you made, Lord Ptah. You seem to have improved a lot since you first arrived here," Lenoa complimented him because when he first arrived, he was a complete beginner who only knew how to make basic potions.

Maybe I should take a bath in the sacred baths? I think I've earned it.
