Chapter 158: Successfully Making Terra Cubes
Boom!!
"I don’t believe I can’t do it today!! Again!!" A seemingly mad figure clutched the edges of a machine, using it to stay upright.
If one looked at him closely, they could see the madness hiding behind those red, bloodshot eyes. And behind that madness was a hidden shining brilliance.
The mad person who had been seemingly at the same task for the past four hours was teetering on the brink of collapse.
Next to him, two cute little animals had closed their eyes and fallen asleep a long time ago.
Raiden had tried countless times by now to create a Terra Cube, but he always failed at the last step. After so many tries, the machine had completely drained him of his physical and mental energy, leaving his body weak.
"Just one step, one last step, and I know I can succeed." His eyes started shining even brighter as he put his hands on the machine for the nth time.
As soon as he did, the machine came to life. mixing berries diligently.
His mental and physical powers flowed smoothly through the machine before gently encasing the berries and starting to break them down.
Even though he was in a hurry, Raiden did not rush the next step as he took all the extracted essence from the berries and used his powers to condense them together in a single cube.
Having done this countless times, everything went well, and all the essence of berries started combining together to form a semi-solid cube. And this is the only one last step left.
But Raiden did not lose any focus. Instead, he became even more vigilant, completely focusing on the last step.
He had failed on this step hundreds of times already, and little by little, he had already figured out what was wrong. That time, he wanted to succeed for sure.
Slowly but surely, the cube completely condensed into one solid block,
"Slowly, slowly...that’s it....Yes!!!"
As soon as Raiden let out a cheer, he felt his surroundings go dark as he fell down on the floor.
But the expected pain never came, as he found his fall getting cushioned by something really soft.
A second later, his head cleared as he turned backwards to see a Woolie behind him, stopping his fall while giving him a mean look.
His focus was quickly pulled back to the machine that didn’t produce an explosive noise this time around.
He looked at the conveyor belt as a small cube rolled out of it. The cube looked really unappetizing, with spots all over its body and giving off a bad smell, but Raiden felt ecstatic after looking at it.
"Do you see that Woolie?? I did it!! I really did it!! I created a Terra Cube!! Haa!!! Take that suckers!!!" Raiden let out a roar, his emotions running high.
"Woolie Woo~" Well done, human. Emperor Woolie is proud of you.
Woolie tried to stand on his tiptoes to pat Raiden’s head, who was too busy laughing and crying after looking at the Terra Cube.

Raiden laughed even harder after seeing the system screen in front of him before he promptly passed out.
---------------------------
When Raiden woke up the next day in his bed, it was already afternoon.
As soon as he woke up, he felt disoriented for a minute as he tried to recall his last memories.
"That’s right. I’ve finally synthesised a Terra Cube, but I need to control myself the next time. Can’t pass out like that every single time."
A small smile came onto his face as he got up and started getting ready.
He walked downstairs to find the house empty. Sylvia had already gone back to school since it was Monday, and both of the Terra Beasts were probably outside the house playing with others.
He quickly went to the kitchen and cooked something for himself in a hurry before freshening up and walking out to find Woolie and Neva.
He didn’t have to look too hard, as he found them battling against wild golden Terra Beasts and winning.
Raiden did not know when, but Woolie had already turned Neva into a battle junkie like him, and nowadays, both of them went outside to fight all day long.
’It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ll stop. Neva never really likes to stay put anyway, but the next Terra Beast is going to be a really peaceful one.’
He tried to console himself.
Afterwards, he interrupted their fight and dragged them to that same barn as yesterday.
"Woolie!!" Why are you interrupting us again, human? You are not trying to trick us like yesterday, are you? You said there would be delicious food, but there was no food at all. ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)💢
"Sha Sha!!" Neva nodded in agreement.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry. That won’t happen again. This time, I have already mastered the art of creating Terra Cubes. Just wait and watch." Raiden rolled up his sleeves before putting another crate of berries inside the machine, turning it on expertly.
As soon as the machine whirred to life, he put his hands on it and started focusing on the sensation. the same sensation he felt when he successfully created his first Terra Cube.
Boom!!
The explosion sounded once again, signalling another failed product.
But Raiden did not lose his head at this point as he channelled the powers again.
’It’s fine, it’s fine. I am really close to it now. One more try.’
The machine started once again as it produced another Terra Cube.

"See, I did it!! So, who wants to be the first one to try it?!" A huge smile appeared on Raiden’s face as he picked up the Terra Cube before his companions, who both turned their faces away after looking at the end product.
This dark, unhealthy-looking Terra Cube looked nothing like the delicious food that was promised, and their instincts told them that if they ate it, they might die.
"Come on, people, it’s not as bad as it looks. I’m sure it is appetising. Want to give it a try?? Woolie??" Raiden sat down next to Woolie before putting the Terra Cube in front of his face.
Woolie took one whiff of it before turning his face away in disgust.
"Woolie Woo Woo Woolie Woo!!" <(ꐦㅍoㅍ)>
Are you trying to kill me, human? There is no way Emperor Woolie is going to touch that. You can eat it yourself if you want to, Humph.
Raiden tried a few more times, only to anger Woolie as he gave him a thundershock.
"Damnit, fine!! If you really don’t want to eat it, I will do it myself, but don’t come crying to me if you want to eat something tasty like this again in the future. I won’t share it with you!!" Raiden took the bad-smelling Terra Cube before he threw it in the air and gulped it down in a single bite.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt the most bitter, shit-tasting, vomit-inducing flavour in his mouth, making him gag.
But he stubbornly controlled his expression, eating it while crying, before he gulped it down entirely.
"See, there is nothing wrong at all. It’s very testy—"
BLEEARRGH!!
He wasn’t able to control himself as he ended up puking all his breakfast out.
Woolie quickly picked up Neva and disappeared from the spot, appearing ten metres away from Raiden, giving him a wary side eye.
It was as he thought. The human was trying to take revenge on them for something.
After a few minutes, Raiden finished letting his breakfast out, leaning against the wall for support.
"Damn it! Those things are really unfit for human consumption. I will never eat one ever again." After swearing up and down to all the gods, Raiden asked Neva to use light to destroy and melt that section of the ground where he puked, erasing all traces of it.
"You two can go out and play for now. I will call you when I am done perfecting it." Raiden waved his hands, dismissing both Terrans, who happily abandoned him and went out to play.
According to what Maple told him, the first three Tiers of Terra Cubes not only tested badly, but they were also worse in quality than eating a normal berry.
If one wanted to sell them, they could only sell them at a loss, and that was if someone was willing to buy those failed products. Otherwise, there was no market for them at all.
"I have 5 days. All I need to do is grind to level 4, become profitable, and convert those S Tier berries into money. Doesn’t sound too hard. Let’s begin."
