"What about you Emma, what about your family ?! " Catherine asked, sincerely curious
"Am an orphan, but that doesn't matter , Caspian is all the family I need " Emma responded as she grabbed Caspian's arm and pressed herself against his side, smiling brightly.
"Ok, that's enough introductions" Caspian chimed in.
"Emma will be staying here for the meantime, until something more permanent comes along" the smile on Emma's face grew wider as she rubbed herself against Caspian.
Catherine wasn't surprised as she already deduced this when she saw Emma.
"So, what are your plans going forward Catherine ?! " Caspian asked.
"I want to stay here with you as well" Catherine didn't hesitate and quickly responded.
Emma who was still on Caspian like a koala bear, was still smiling but her thoughts screamed the opposite_
"SHE REALLY REALLY HAS TO DIE!!"
"Its not impossible, but you have to pull your own weight , and be capable enough to get things done, can you do that ?! " Caspian asked Catherine, he was already sold on letting her stay and making use of her talents for his needs when he first found out she had one.
"Yes, I will work very very hard" catherine smiled brightly as she jumped into Caspian's arms, hugging him tightly.
Caspian let them get settled themselves, there was two guest bedrooms and a master bedroom in the apartment, enough space for everyone.
Catherin didn't have any of her clothes, and since she didn't live in the building like Emma, she couldn't go and get them.
So Caspian gave her a couple of unisex clothing from his wardrobe, and they planned to later get some feminine outfits from the origin store once they are well settled.
Now alone, Caspian sat on one of his living room couches, as he pulled up his status window_
[Status Window]

[1,007,400gc]
Caspian went ahead and mentally selected his talent _
[Innate Talent: Gold Mine(grade : ???)( Lv : Zero Of ???) -> Lv One: 1,000,000gc
Caspian stared at that ridiculous sum for a while.
From his previous life's memory, the maximum amount for upgrading a talent to level one, was 1000gc, which was for SSS level talents.
With a ten times increament to the new cost for every other level, until level seven which was the cap for all talents.
So they then look like this _
1000 - Lv One
10,000 - Lv Two
100,000 - Lv Three
1,000,000 - Lv Four
10,000,000 - Lv Five
100,000,000 - Lv Six
1,000,000,000 - Lv Seven.
So basically, am getting to Lv One of my talent by using the same amount that an SSS level talent would use to cross over to Lv four.
Which was actually the maximum Level anyone ever got to with their talent in my past life, since there was a leaderboard for it.
Caspian steeled himself, betraying no reaction on his face as he mentally selected to upgrade.
He felt a chill pass through him, as golden light radiated warmly from his chest and doused the enter living room with its brilliance.
And almost immediately, the light died out and everything returned to normal.
The first thing caspian did was check the cost of his next upgrade_
[Innate Talent: Gold Mine(grade : ???)( Lv : One Of ???) -> Lv Two: 1,000,000,000gc
' I had a feeling , just wanted to make sure, since the max talent grade needed 1,000gc to get to level one, and mine needed 1,000,000, a three zero difference, it's not surprising that the cost growth rate as well will be in three's.'
'so mine would probably look like this going forward _
1,000,000 - Lv One
1,000,000,000 - Lv Two
1,000,000,000,000 - Lv Three
1,000,000,000,000,000 - Lv Four
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - Lv Five
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - Lv Six
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - Lv Seven '
'Now, this talent better be worth it, because these numbers are dizzying to even look at.'
'Time to see what am working with' Caspian exhaled as he brought back his thoughts and pulled up his status window.

[7,400gc]
Caspian's blue eyes shot open in shock, as he ignored the other changes to his status, which he would checked properly later, and he locked onto the 'miner's contract'.
Then for the first time since regressing, a slow and genuine smile spread across his face, as his head began to spin with different ways to apply this new overpowered cheat, wondering how this was even allowed as a sub talent in the first place.
"Now this is getting interesting"
