Gus remembered how important Bees are on Earth. After watching a TV program about bees, as far as important species go, they are definitely on top of the list. They pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops.

That's only the beginning, we may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain. A world without honey bees could struggle to sustain the Earth's human population of 7 billion. Our supermarkets would have half the amount of fruit and vegetables.

"Dear User! The plants on Circa do not rely on Bees alone. Do remember, that the plants on Circa consume Mana unlike your world, which mostly requires the bees to pollinate your plants,"

The System reminded Gus how important Mana is to the world of Circa. No wonder this world could consume vast amounts of Mana to the point that it relied on Systems and Transmigrators to replenish it's lost energy.

"If the steel arrow is already this powerful, would her power really increase if she ingests the actual nectar?" thought Gus.

"System, I want to use a Skillpoint on Barter please!"

"Certainly, Dear User! Please Choose three ingredients from the list!"

Gus immediately purchased Honey, Banana and Hokkaido j.a.panese Milk Bread.

-------

BARTER: LVL 10

Sourwood Honey - 15 silvers

Banana - 4 coppers

Hokkaido j.a.panese Milk Bread - 5 silvers

CURRENT SKILL POINTS: 4 points

"Why is the honey a bit pricey?"

As Gus read the label of the teardrop-shaped bottle, he finally understood why. The System obviously chose the best of the best Honey on Earth. It chose none other than the Raw Sourwood Honey. When it comes to Pure, Raw Honey, no honey is more cla.s.sic than Sourwood Honey. Fresh from the Appalachian Mountains, Sourwood Honey is harvested during the month of August when the Sourwood Trees are in beautiful, white bloom. Deep & rich in flavor, with a bold b.u.t.tery sweetness on the front end, and a round caramelized aftertaste on the back end, no wonder Sourwood Honey is on top of the line.

"Your Highness, Please try this nectar and tell me if it's any different from the nectar you have tasted,"

Gus presented the bottle of Sourwood honey to Queen Aoivah.

"I...It can't be!"

With shaking hands, she dropped her magical bow on the floor. It has been thousands of years till she last tasted the nectar of Circa. She couldn't forget the sweet, thick, rich and raw flavor of it.

The Fairy Queen opened the bottle slowly.

"M...my Queen! We should test if it's poisoned!"

The Guards reminded the Fairy Queen of their duties, but the Fairy Queen raised her hand, telling them that everything is fine.

"No, It's alright. This smell... It's definitely pure Nectar! This rich smell is different from the nectar I have tasted before, honestly, I think the smell of this nectar is definitely better!"

The Fairy Queen couldn't wait any longer and took a sip of honey from the bottle. Her eyes open wide as the rich, b.u.t.tery, caramel flavor slowly trickled down her throat. The Queen even tried to savor the taste by letting the honey sit on her mouth. As the final drop of honey finally trickled down her throat, Gus could feel the Mana gathering around her.

"Mr. Fuzz! Just How could you get your hands on such a treasure!?"

"Oh... I have to apologize, your Highness since I cannot reveal my sources for now. I may not look much, but I am a special kind of Merchant, believe it or not,"

Gus once again took one step ahead of the Queen, as he wanted her to know that the bottle of precious honey on her hand, is definitely not the last.

Meanwhile, the Queen definitely felt the changes in her body. Her eyesight has sharpened, her reflex is faster and she could feel her strength multiply slowly.

"Your Highness, If you please,"

Gus picked up her bow and presented it to the Queen. As she received her bow, Gus also gave her another piece of Steel Arrow. She shot another arrow out the window while aiming at the same rock earlier.

"PHWOOs.h.!.+ CRACK!"

A gust of air circulated inside the room. It looks like her shot is now reinforced with Mana. The gust was strong enough to create a mess inside the room.

Everyone looked outside to see the results of the Queen's buffed attack. As the dust settled, a crater appeared to where the rock once stood. The mechanical jaws of the animatronics dropped comically.

The Fairy Queen almost laughed as she saw how ridiculous their faces look. But as for her guards, it seems they stepped out of the room since they do not want Gus and the Queen to witness them laughing.

"What was that?! Buggock!!"

"So the Nectar really works! Praise the G.o.ds! Burp!"

"This is no doubt better than the nectar that has been long lost!"

The Queen burned the image of the bottle in her eyes. It's as if she doesn't want to forget the miraculous elixir that sits in her hands.

Gus was surprised by the buff the queen has received. With a successful result, Gus wondered what would happen if he applies his Pa.s.sive skill "Cooking" to the Fairy Queen by letting her eat a Honey based Dish using his "Barter" Skill. This is where the rest of his newly bought ingredients comes to play. Gus plans to boost every single fairy with a honey-based dish, making them even more powerful like the Fairy Queen! Since time was against him, he decided to make a dish easy enough for everyone to make. The dish he chose is none other than the Honey Peanut b.u.t.ter Banana on Hokkaido toast. The fairies only need to slice the bananas, a.s.semble the open-faced sandwich and toast them in an oven or toaster! There is only one more thing Gus needed to confirm to make the job even faster.

"Everyone, tap your stomach three times!"

"T...tap what?! Oink"

"Excuse me?! Burp!"

"Did I hear you correctly, Did you just ask us to tap our stomach thrice?! Squeak!"

"Mr. Fuzz, I believe this is quite an embarra.s.sing request,"

The Fairy Queen blushed a little, since she was surprised with the metallic bear's request to tap her own stomach.

"Apologies, My Queen, I forgot to mention that I was referring to my bewildered comrades,"

Being in a state of euphoria, Gus even forgot to address his request to his Pizza Palace Friends.

"Aw, c'mon Mr. Fuzz! Are you really expecting us to tap our tummies in front of her Highness?! Squeak!"

"Just do it!"

Fuzz E. Bear was so excited that his bowler hat started to spin around. The Pizza palace troupe gave up arguing and did as they were told.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Lo and Behold, their stomach opened up!

"Aagh! what the heck Moo?!

"It's hot inside! But...Squeak!"

"Mr. Fuzz? I can see some weird k.n.o.bs and b.u.t.tons, Buggock!"

Daniel and his company couldn't explain what they were experiencing. There is a hot hole that appeared in their stomach, but they found it strange that it doesn't feel hot inside the suit at all. Strange enough, It's still cool and comfortable as it always was.

As for the Smiling Fuzz E. Bear Gus, his a.s.sumptions were correct. Back on Earth, The Pizza Palace restaurant has this popular gimmick, by using their animatronic animals to serve hot pizzas on the fly! He has to admit, it worked and became a popular trick amongst kids especially during parties back on earth. He wasn't sure how the restaurant built them, but tapping their stomach three times, is a cue for the Pizza Palace Staff to get ready and fill the animatronic's stomach with hot pizzas for them to serve on their next act. While the Kids think that the mascots magically make pizzas out from their stomachs, In reality, it's just a customized toaster to keep the pizza hot and warm.

Knowing the System, Gus wanted to know if his intentions got through. As Gus inspected the k.n.o.bs of their stomachs, he saw the temperature k.n.o.b along with a timer k.n.o.b. Gus smiled as he realized that The System is already one step ahead of him by customizing his requests. No wonder the System provided him with the best tasting honey, based on his personal tastes. Slowly, The System is starting to synchronize with Gus perfectly. With four walking toaster ovens, Gus' honey toasts would definitely finish faster! His makes.h.i.+ft Pizza palace kitchen brigade is now officially complete!
