"I'm gd you like it, now we just have to figure out how to get it to your manor. Don't get me wrong it's definitely nile or anything but it is rather rge and heavy." I said holy.

  "That is simple really, I'll just hire some adveo haul it bay manor. If all goes well it will be in pce by su." Ptah said unbothered by my s.

  I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything different from him really as clearly he couldn't care less about shelling e amounts of money for art. He had quite a lot of money anyways as his familia was well known and requested for their artistic works that brought in loads of money for them. They were a "business" type familia and as a result didn't really have any members who delved and fought monsters regurly.-

  After that the two gods left and Ptah came back with a team of adventurers hired to move the statue just like he said. I almost felt bad for them really as the statue was refined dungeon crystal and weighed an easy eighteen tons. The group of twenty men were all between level two and three with high strength builds and evehey BARELY mao load the statue onto the massive cart they brought for it.-

  Ptah handed over the other half of the payment for the statue and I told him I'd like a break to recharge before doing another ission like this. It was funny to see his face as he was clearly about to ask for that very thing but I really was burnt out a bit from this statue. There was something about the sheer scale that I was w with that stressed me out.-

  I knew what it was too, my desire for perfe in what I made. I stressed about missing some small detail or having something out of pce because of the size. For some reason I didn't mind imperfe in my cursed tools but when it came to stuff like my figurines or this statue I didn't want to settle for less than my absolute best. In hindsight that might actually be why they were so popur. All people erfe in some form, we crave it without knowing in most cases. -

  So wheed with an example that approached that cept our brains immediately want to impulsively and irrationally possess it. Thanks to this my figurihat pressed that buttohings that you couldn't help but impulsively buy. I from this uanding also figured out why i didn't mind imperfes in my cursed tools, I knew I couldn't obtain it. That was the nature of cursed tools and energy, there was always a downside, a fw. True perfe was an impossible cept to achieve with the stuff and I, knowing this, didn't agonize over failing to attain it. It was expected instead, embraced if you will.-

  This reted in fact to the thing I wao achieve before i updated my falna again. I wao push my limit from four properties in an object at full strength to five. Now that might sound easy but it very much was not. In truth that was a whole twenty five pert increase which I felt in my gut was something I o hit before I updated. Why I felt this need I have no idea but my gut hasn't led me wrong since I got to this world so I was going to fug listen.-

  This of course led me to sitting in my y workshop staring at a goblin tooth dagger bnkly.

  'I've got no fug clue where to start!' I mentally pined, I was stuck.

  Once I figured out how to make cursed tools inally the process retty instinctual but now I ACTUALLY had to figure out how to improve in it rather than just messing with the standard settings. That's all I had really doil now, follow the rules I discovered to achieve a predictable result. I hadn't actually tried to go beyond those rules and something told me that was the problem here.-

  Even my experiments with spatial cursed tools was done by following the rules I knew but tweaking the teique I was imbuing as well as the restris within those rules. Now however it was clear that I o go beyond the rules to achieve a sistent increase in properties on all my future projects. I tried to brute force it at first thinking that was the solution but it became clear that that wasn't the strat when I started heming cursed energy which was quite unpleasa me tell you.-

  You ever get like a really bad cut or nosebleed ahe blood leaving your body? It felt like that, yeah I immediately shut that shit down real fast. Well if brute force was off the table that just left finesse and I will admit that wasly my strong suit. I liked my freedom to just DO things as I wanted. Probably my less than soual thought processes fault for that o it was either go a little insane or break entirely oh. Sanity didn't really work out all that well there after everything started to look hopeless.-

  W till your body was on the verge of colpse just to be able to barely survive and having no hope of ever retiring tends to break ones will to live. From there the insanity rears it's head and you end up etric, suicidal or murderous. I ended up seeking escape in anime and other media whi turn made me etric. Sorry about that I'm getting off topic here, the point I was making was that I was having trouble with this improvement that robably actually easy. I tried ing properties together but all that ended up doing is fusing them together into a more powerful property with both the effects but the same cost.-

  Obviously this was a great discovery in and of itself but it wasn't what I was after. To be ho I probably should have figured that out a lot sooner but to be fair I AM sort of winging it. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga was not super detailed on the how of things like this so much as the what they did. I retty much w off of ss of inplete information and crossed fio figure shit out.-

  My third attempt at adding five properties to a on made me want to bang my head on the wall when it worked. Remember when I said it robably so simple thing I should have easily figured out? I was on the fug money because my third attempt was to structure the properties in a pentagram mentally. Not because pentagrams have any actual power or anything but because I was all like "well what if I put the properties in a geometric shape?" and then tried it and lo and fug behold it worked. The answer was so damn simple that I had to actively trol myself from shing out in anger when I figured it out.
