The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

So, by doing an assessment after eating them myself, I could figure out exactly what kind and how much of an increasing effect a certain plant could provide to me.”

“Plants that can increase your abilities you say…….? And you mean that it’s not a temporary one but a permanent increase instead?”

“Yeah, that is indeed the case.”

“Isn’t that……….a revolutionary find?! If you were to gather a bunch of researchers to fully figure it all out, and then bring it to the market as a product, you’ll be a billionaire in no time at all!”

“Not only would it be a major pain gathering said ‘researchers’, I also earn enough that I don’t need that much more money.
But more importantly than all that, there is one big disadvantage about these plants that make your idea  a pipe dream anyway.”

“……..And that being?”

“Well, these plants, are actually fatally poisonous plants.
That too, the stronger the ability raising effect, the stronger the toxicity of the poison that it comes with.”

Hearing that, Graham, who leaned in over the table in excitement, fell back to his chair and fixed his posture with disappointment.

“Oh, is that so.
Well, if these things are that poisonous, normal people won’t——in fact, no living being could handle it……..and yet, how were you able to eat these things Chris-san?”

“Because of the skill I got from [Heaven’s Blessing].
My job was simply [Farmer] but the skill I got was called [Null Poison] which allowed me to intake these fatally poisonous plants without any issue.”

“So there was such a trick behind it.
That also explains why no one else had made this discovery until now.
Only you, who possessed this skill and coincidentally ate such a poisonous plant happened to find this out.
It really does sound like a miracle-esque series of coincidences, doesn’t it?”

I probably shouldn’t admit it but, yeah this really was a result of miracle after miracle lining up one after another that had led me to my current situation.

If even one of these coincidences hadn’t occurred, I would have spent my entire life as nothing but a simple [farmer].

“Now I finally understand why you had your ability assessment done so frequently now.
I imagine it must have been awkward because people don’t like talking about their skills or suitable job, but regardless, thank you for telling me all this to sate my curiosity.”

“It’s fine.
It’s not like I held back on prying into your personal history either so now we’re simply even.  That said, I will request you to not talk about this to other people though.”

“Of course, I understand.
You need not worry, I won’t talk about our little chat to anyone else……..we ended up talking about a lot of things so let’s get to the real topic I wanted to hear about.
Can we finally get to talk about what all exactly happened after you left Realzard?”

“Sure.
Allow me to go first then.”

“I had been curious about the assessments but this is what I’ve really been waiting to hear, so I’m really excited to hear it all.”

And thus, while drinking coffee, me and Graham began to talk about what all happened in each of our lives after I had left Realzard.

It may seem obvious but, of course my side of the story was much, much longer and took more time so I was the one mostly talking but……..by the time it all ended, another 2 hours or so had passed.
