(His primary human tribe was currently thriving on the Southern island.)
As to why Sunny described them as -human-like- but not entirely human: it was because of their distinct, immediately noticeable features. They possessed elegantly pointy ears, delicate yet distinct gazelle-like horns curving gracefully from their foreheads, an innate and profound agility, unparalleled graceful movements, and a notably gentle disposition compared to his more rugged humans.
They were currently running through a dense, verdant jungle, their movements fluid and silent as they tried to find some food.
Sunny immediately considered gifting this bow and arrows not to his humans, but to these -elves-like- creatures.
His divine analysis confirmed his intuition: he was currently seeing that many of these newly discovered -elves- seemed to possess innate talents specifically related to eyesight, perception, or marksmanship. This was a stroke of incredible luck, aligning perfectly with the very weapon he had just manifested.
Sunny didn’t just descend into Veridia casually like before, with barely a thought to the cost.
Now, he needed to manage his Faith points meticulously, acutely aware of every expenditure.
Due to the emergence of these elves, who were innately intelligent and inherently strong���perhaps even more so than his humans at this stage���this next trip would surely cost much more Faith than his previous, brief intervention.
The stakes were rising, and Sunny knew every decision counted.

Chapter 18 - Ch 18: The First Godly Day
Sunny began to fulfill each of the pending requests, working methodically through the daunting queue.
While most orders were for ordinary weapons���items like spears, bows, swords, and shields���his attention was soon captivated by a peculiar request.
One God from a magic-infused world asked Sunny to replicate a rare item named Tear of Mermaid.
Item Name: Tear of Mermaid
Grade: S
Description: Can increase the Grade of talent related to magic.
Note: Only works on talent below S-Grade.
-I just introduced magic into my world, and my world is not inherently a magic world,- Sunny pondered, his thoughts racing.
-So, having a human with magic talent will be very tough.-
Though this item was exceptionally precious in a mana-rich environment, the cost of manifesting it was surprisingly low, requiring only 30 Faith points.
Sunny, ever the opportunist, directly quoted a price of 150 Faith points, a staggering five times the production cost.
-Who’s going to know?- Sunny mused, a predatory gleam in his divine eyes.
-And for worlds inherently built on magic, this item is extremely precious.
Even if I were to raise the price even further, many would still choose to pay.-
As he predicted, the client who asked for this replication immediately requested five Tears of Mermaid directly.
This single transaction alone yielded a massive profit of 600 Faith points for Sunny.
He now had more than enough capital to descend into Veridia again whenever he chose.
-One Godly day is coming to an end,- Sunny pondered, feeling the subtle shift in the cosmic currents.
-I don’t know what surprises will be there from the System.-
He decided to wait for the completion of his first full day as a God before making his next descent into Veridia.
Sunny resumed completing the other trade requests from various Gods.
It was a tedious task, fulfilling them one by one, but Sunny did not yet possess the power to multitask and manifest many items simultaneously.
A God from a technology-advanced world provided Sunny with the complete schematics and knowledge for a nuclear power plant.
-Nuclear power plant,- Sunny murmured, pondering the potential uses of this advanced technology.
He couldn’t find an immediate, practical application for it in his current world, so he meticulously filed this complex knowledge away in the expansive library of his mind, a treasure for future consideration.
Sunny had already completed more than 1,000 requests, accumulating an immense fortune in Faith points.
His total now stood at approximately 90,000 Faith points, out of which 20,000 had already been wisely reinvested into establishing mana stone mines across Veridia.
Just then, one particular message caught his attention, not because of the item request itself���Sunny hadn’t even opened the chat yet.
The name of the client alone made Sunny grin from ear to ear.
It was Kairos.
Sunny opened the chat directly, and the description of the item requested was very different from what his imagination had anticipated from Kairos.
-Was he fooling everyone from the start, or is his world mutated enough to have elemental spirits?- Sunny began to ponder, trying to understand why Kairos, the boastful and progress-obsessed God, would be requesting this type of item from him.
Item Name: Elemental Flower
Grade: A
Description: Food for any type of elemental spirit. ������������������������������������������������.������������
