Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 40: The second store

Views:

Lu Yao watched as the teleportation array was completed. He saw Feisa use the teleportation scroll to leave, then he went back to buy some vegetables and delivered them to the snack bar, then immediately went back to the nail salon to look through the magic book.

Harold was lying on the sofa reading comics, not looking like a guard at all.

Si Jinze sat aside, absorbed in his own manicure, as if he could never get tired of it, and completely forgot the purpose of monitoring Lu Yao.

There were no customers in the store, so Lu Yao ignored them, made a cup of tea, took out a notebook and pen, and took notes while reading a book.

The magic book does contain instructions for making teleportation scrolls, including low-level, mid-level, and high-level ones. However, making teleportation scrolls requires a blank, unused scroll, which Lu Yao does not have.

She went to the grocery store, but couldn't buy any scrolls, so she thought of getting some glue materials.

As a result, I bought two materials that were not available last time, and I still needed three more. One of them was the eyeballs of a level 12 monster, and I needed at least ten pairs.

The grocery store owner said that only the Sid Medicine Store in the city of Onoton could buy so many, and without the teleportation scroll, it would take a day and a night to go to the city of Onoton by carriage.

Lu Yao returned to the store with two unnecessary materials. He opened the door and saw a lady in a green plaid dress standing in the store, her back full of helplessness.

Harold and Sikin were like dead dragons, they didn't move at all and didn't even greet the guests.

Lu Yao didn't care about being angry, and immediately went over to greet him: "Hello, please sit over here for your manicure."

Mu Xin turned around and saw Lu Yao immediately showed a look of "being saved" and sat down on the chair.

After seeing the sharp nails yesterday, Mu Xin felt so itchy in his heart.

So shiny, so beautiful.

Dragons have a natural liking for sparkles.

This racial instinct cannot be overcome, and they have always been proud of it, and have collected treasures everywhere to satisfy their desires.

However, this manicure is not very practical, it is flashy and impractical, and it also requires maintaining the human shape. Mu Xin repeatedly tried to convince himself in his heart.

However, it was the summer holiday, and Sen Sen was reluctant to leave the dragon's nest in order to protect her nails. The pair of claws inlaid with emeralds flashed in front of her eyes from time to time, and the more she wanted to ignore them, the more she couldn't help but pay attention to them.

As a mature and steady dragon working in Dragon Valley, Mu Xin has never had such a breakdown since he became an adult.

It felt like there was a treasure mine and a gold mine just within reach, but she had to pretend that she didn't care at all.

This was forcing her to avoid her own instincts.

After not sleeping all night, Mu Xin decided to face his instinct and flew to the nail salon.

When I entered the store, I found Harold and Si Jin were both in the store. The two guys looked like they were enjoying a good show, but the human store manager who exuded a gentle aura was nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, she came back soon.

Lu Yao was completely unaware of Mu Xin's hesitation and entanglement, and handed the tablet over, "Take a look to see if there are any styles you like, or if you have other ideas, we can talk about it."

Mu Xin flipped through the tablet and was more and more surprised. There were exquisite, gentle, elegant, dark... all kinds of styles, and each one was novel and beautiful that she had never seen before.

There are many new styles at the back, which are obviously inclined towards the aesthetics of the dragon clan, including the silver-blue nail art that Si Jin first made, Harold's jeweled nail art, the young dragons' various gem-inlaid nail art, and the elves' oil painting nail art...

Finally, when Mu Xin saw Si Jin's star-shaped nails inlaid with extreme crystals, he took a deep breath, and his emerald green eyes like a deep lake were full of amazement.

This is so beautiful! It’s a complete trampling on the aesthetic standards of the dragon clan!

Mu Xin couldn't help but put down the tablet, stood up and walked to Si Jin's side, grabbed his hand and looked at it carefully.

This manicure is even more dazzling and eye-catching than it looks in the photo, especially on the middle finger and the ring finger of the other hand. The light spots that appear and disappear on the nails are like real stars, and if you look closely, they even seem to be moving slowly.

Si Jin originally frowned slightly, but when he noticed Mu Xin's expression, he turned proud and said, "How is it? Pretty, right?"

Mu Xin turned around and sat down silently, flipping through the tablet for a while, and finally pointed to a style and said, "I like this style, but I have a request."

Lu Yao nodded calmly: "Please go ahead."

Mu Xin's face was a little serious, and her emerald green eyes were filled with a faint glow, full of hope. "I like this style, but it's a little too plain. Can you make it more gorgeous?"

I see. You are a dragon too, right

Lu Yao took a look at the design and nodded, "Okay."

After receiving a positive answer, Mu Xin relaxed a little, took out a treasure chest and opened it, "These are all the gems I like."

After asking Sen Sen, Mu Xin knew about the procedures of the nail salon and picked out a box of gems in advance, all of which were her favorites.

From the nail art style she chose and the types of jewelry she brought, Lu Yao had a general understanding of the customer's preferences.

She is a dragon and also likes shiny things, but her aesthetic taste is more delicate and gentle than other dragons.

Each dragon actually has different preferences, which Lu Yao finds quite interesting.

While she was polishing Mu Xin's nails, she was quickly thinking about how to make the gentle and intellectual checkerboard pattern look gorgeous and elegant.

Mu Xin chose a chessboard pattern that was suitable for daily life, but asked Lu Yao not to make it too everyday.

When Lu Yao was choosing nail polish, Mu Xin casually said that he liked dark green.

She had actually guessed it. The guest was wearing a dark green plaid long skirt, a lighter aqua headband, and a pair of cat's-eye green gemstone earrings.

I like to be clear and straightforward.

Lu Yao chose green, white and silver nail polishes. Before mixing the colors, he picked out a handful of gems and shrunk them into suitable sizes as needed.

The gems that Mu Xin brought are also quite interesting.

The round pink pearls, the transparent silver wafers, and the black wafers of the same size, each one evenly distributed, were precious crystals that contained magical powers. Lu Yao had seen these materials in magic books.

After shrinking the selected gems and placing them in a small box, Lu Yao took out a small brush to mix the colors and started working.

Mu Xin watched the owner's actions curiously. Her hands were very dexterous and the dye seemed to have life in her hands, completely obeying her commands.

It wasn't long before her nails became the style she liked.

The index finger of my left hand filled in the white and green checkerboard, but it was not the neat and rigid kind.

After the green edge is dry, move the brush away two points, add a layer of dark green, and then add a lighter white nail polish. Repeat the process several times until the grid appears in layers of light and dark. After it is dry, stick a small round pearl at an angle, which is delicate and cute.

The middle finger is lightly painted with emerald green nail polish, layered several times, smudged three-fifths of the fingertip, and a silver crystal is dotted on the top. The little finger is the same, but the pearl is a smaller size.

The ring finger is divided into two parts, half white and half green, with a white and green checkered pattern drawn diagonally on the fingertip and nail arc, and a crystal dotted in the middle line.

The treatment of the two hands is similar, the only difference is the smudging and checkered nails, and the embellishment of the gems is changed from extreme crystal to brilliant crystal.

Seeing that the owner was already finishing up, Mu Xin felt a little disappointed.

This pair of nails is very gentle, and the details are just right, but unfortunately it did not meet her expectations and is not gorgeous enough.

Lu Yao asked her to turn on the light, and lowered her head to deal with the unused Extreme Crystals and Yao Crystals, placing them one by one in an interlaced manner, and finally forming a strange pattern.

Then she drew a magic circle, and all the transparent silver crystals in the strange pattern floated up, shrank to the same size at a uniform speed, and fell on the chessboard squares on Mu Xin's fingertips, while Yaojing fell on the fingertips of the other hand.

The nails that were just ordinary suddenly sparkled as if they had absorbed the light of the sun and the moon.

The most peculiar thing is that when a silver crystal on Mu Xin’s left hand shines, a corresponding crystal on the fingertips of his right hand will also flicker, as if they are responding to each other.

Mu Xin frowned, and an indescribable feeling crept into his heart, like amazement and admiration.

But Long would not give in to others. She suppressed the strange feeling and looked up at Lu Yao: "What did you do in the end?"

While Lu Yao used sealing magic to reinforce the armor, he explained simply: "The style you chose is called chessboard. This two-color grid pattern is actually an element derived from a chess game called 'Go' in my hometown. Go is a game where two people use chess pieces to fight on these small grids, and the winner is determined by grabbing territory."

Mu Xin looked down at his fingers for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyes, "The silver crystal and the shining crystal on my two fingertips are the two sides fighting? They belong to different camps, is that right?"

Lu Yao praised: "Smart!"

Seeing the evenly sized round silver crystals and brilliant crystals, Lu Yao began to imagine making a real chess game on the customers' fingertips.

In this magical world, everything is possible.

The last step seemed mysterious, but in fact she just played a game of chess with her left and right hands, and then moved the chess pieces on both sides to the chessboard at Mu Xin's fingertips according to the order of placement in the chess record.

Mu Xin remained silent for a long time. When he was leaving, he suddenly handed over the box of unused gems and said earnestly, "I want to exchange these gems for a set of Go and some books about Go. Can the owner help me?"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mu Xin to be interested in Go. He reached out and took out a silver crystal and a Yao crystal, and said, "These are enough. Come to the store in three days."

Mu Xin suppressed his excitement and nodded, "Thank you."

At the entrance of Emerald Town, a team of luxurious carriages stopped at the post station. Mrs. Sid stood outside the red carriage, gently waving the feather fan in her hand, with a slightly impatient look on her face: "Annie, come out quickly. The store is in the town."

Anne lifted her skirt, got out of the car with a sullen look, and followed Mrs. Sid with a depressed look.

The mother and daughter were dressed gorgeously and walked on the narrow, old cobblestone road. Passers-by were looking at them.

Annie frowned deeply. She had been a little bit expectant before. How could there be anything interesting in such a remote place

Being deceived by her mother again just makes her feel bad.

Crossing a bare square, Annie sneered, "There's a teleportation array in this shabby place, no one will come here, right?"

Mrs. Sid ignored her and asked a lady passing by for directions, then turned back and told Anne not to fall behind.

Anne followed obediently, complaining in her heart.

She passed by a lady in a green dress while distracted. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look back. Unfortunately, the lady walked very fast, leaving only an anxious back.

There was confusion in Annie's eyes. She seemed to have seen something shiny flash by, which was particularly dazzling.

Like jewelry, but also a little different.

She felt that the cluster of sparkling things was like a galaxy condensed on the woman's fingertips.

Is it nail dye

It is impossible to dye mist wood to achieve such a bright and eye-catching effect.

What is it

Anne was suddenly dying of curiosity.
