The slime on the ground was a soft lump, but it was wearing clothes - a fitted black tuxedo suit with an exquisite bow tie at its inconspicuous neck. It had a pair of bright eyes and looked politely at Harold and Sikin.
The air was silent and the dragon was at a loss.
Harold looked up at Lu Yao, but got no response, so he looked down at Slime.
The blue slime tilted its head and looked at him, and suddenly made a cute "chirp" sound.
"..." Harold felt inexplicably unhappy, poked the slime with his foot, and said with disgust: "Why is there a slime in the store?"
Lu Yao looked up and saw this action, and said, "Momo is a new clerk, don't bully him."
"…Mmm?" Sijin repeated.
Lu Yao looked innocent: "I accidentally gave him a name yesterday."
This story begins with Lu Yao’s on-the-job training for Mumu last night.
The system said that slimes are very weak, and most of them have no thinking ability. This one is a little different, it seems to be able to understand human speech, but it has no useful abilities, and it is probably very difficult to be a clerk.
Lu Yao was a little worried at first, but during the training process, the slime performed exceptionally well.
It could understand what was said and what was written, and it tried hard to respond to Lu Yao's requests.
Lu Yao taught him the professional words and service attitude for receiving guests. He was a little unfamiliar with it the first time he learned it, but by the third time he had mastered it like a skilled worker.
Although his rhetoric was still "chi chi chi", at least his attitude was very serious, which was much better than that of some of the two dragons.
Lu Yao was so happy that he rubbed its head and praised: "Mummu is so smart!"
She swore that she really thought her child was doing well in school and just praised him.
Unexpectedly, a dazzling golden light emanated from the slime, and it evolved into a high-level slime named "Mum".
The system prompts that Lu Yao gave the monster a name, and the monster became her follower.
Lu Yao started to feel a little uneasy, but the little slime evolved and became smarter.
It seemed to know that Lu Yao was in trouble, so it moved over and rubbed her hand. Its big watery eyes were filled with admiration, and it chirped coquettishly.
This guy is so good at acting cute. He is adorable and capable. Lu Yao's heart softened.
After evolving, Mumu still couldn't speak and could only make a "chi chi" sound. Lu Yao gritted his teeth and spent 100,000 popularity points to ask the system to exchange a voice for it.
Slime itself has no gender, but when it speaks, it sounds like a soft and cute little boy.
The system said that this was his own choice, and if he evolved again in the future, he might become a young boy.
…
Harold and Sikin sat at both ends of the sofa with gloomy faces. A bag full of red scorpion eyeballs was thrown on the table. The bag opened and several eyeballs rolled out, still covered in blood.
A long-haired witch was sitting on the single sofa next to her. Her eyes fell on the red scorpion's eyes, and a light flashed in her brown pupils.
Mum hurriedly fetched a rag, and carefully picked up the eyeballs on the table with her little paws, put them back into the bag, tied the bag tightly, and then wiped off the blood deftly.
Putting the rag back and washing her hands, Mumu slowly moved to Lu Yao's side and looked up at her.
Lu Yao was busy and had no time to help, so he looked into his eyes and praised him earnestly: "Mommy is really capable!"
There was light shining in Mumu's round eyes, and she made two "chi chi" sounds, and her little paws put together and circled around.
He only speaks when he receives guests, and usually likes to use "chi chi" sounds to express his emotions.
Harold and Sikin's faces turned terribly dark, and they shot cold and sharp eyes at Mumu.
Facing the dragon's oppressive stare, Mumu said innocently: "Ji."
Harold & Sikin: "..."
This guy must have done this on purpose!
Maliciously acting cute, it makes me angry to death!
The guest Lu Yao was receiving was an elf, and the one sitting on the sofa waiting was a witch, they both came from the city of Onoton.
The elf said he bought potions from Fesha and found out about the nail salon, using a teleportation scroll.
In the past two days, from time to time, people use teleportation scrolls to come from other places and go straight to the nail salon. Sometimes, when there are so many people, you have to make an appointment and queue up.
Lu Yao was very happy, and as word of mouth spread, more and more customers came to the nail salon.
This elf customer was recommended to the store by Feisha's oil painting nails. Before coming, she thought that there would definitely be no nail styles better than Feisha's. However, when she arrived at the store, she was amazed by all the beautiful nail styles.
It took her half an hour to decide on the style. In the end, she did not choose oil-painted nails, but instead picked a simple blush nail and asked the owner to paint boy grass on her nails.
The Poi grass that the elves like is a rare herb that blooms only once every ten years.
The flowers bloom at sunset and wither when the sun goes down. It is very rare.
Lu Yao had seen the introduction and illustrations of this herb in a magic book. When it blooms, it has clusters of small purple flowers that are delicate and beautiful, so it was not difficult to draw it.
Make sure your nails are done well and use a magic seal to prevent them from wearing out.
Lu Yao has developed a magic circle that can automatically remove armor. She drew the magic circle on brown paper and gave it to guests.
When customers feel uncomfortable with long nails, they can wipe their nails with kraft paper and the nails can be easily removed.
This small formation is very convenient. It can be used by ordinary guests without magic power, and it will not cause any burden to the nails.
Lu Yao couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if this kind of nail polish remover paper could be used in the modern world, her regular customers would probably be so happy.
The elf was very satisfied when he saw the lifelike Boy grass on the nails. He paid a gold coin and left happily with the nail polish remover paper.
She also wants to recommend it to her elf friends in the forest.
Lu Yao didn't have time to rest because the witch had already sat down in front of him.
While waiting, she chose the style, which was Mu Xin's chessboard pattern.
But the witch didn't want gems, she only wanted style, and the color was changed to black and red.
Lu Yao picked out the nail polish she wanted to use and began to help her polish her nails.
Witch Cangyuan stared at Lu Yao's movements quietly for a long time, then lowered her voice and asked, "Are those two people on the sofa regular customers of the store?"
When Harold and Sikin came back and saw Mum, they became withdrawn. Mum treated them as guests. The two did not explain and sat on the sofa with gloomy faces, sulking.
Lu Yao thought the witch might have misunderstood something, so he looked up.
The Cangyuan witch lowered her eyes hastily and suppressed her emotions.
Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the other party was talking about something else, but he didn't expose it, "Yeah, I guess so."
Witch Cangyuan was secretly annoyed that she had acted too eagerly, which seemed to have made the owner alert, so he stopped talking.
When her nails were done, Lu Yao used magic to seal them for her. She was surprised and a little bit unbelieving: "Are you a magician of light?"
While sitting in the store waiting, the witch was too focused on Harold and Si Jin to notice Lu Yao using sealing magic for the elves.
It is also because the magic circle requires very little magic power and the magic reaction is not strong.
Dragons can detect magical reactions from a long distance simply because their perception of magic is countless times sharper than that of humans.
Lu Yao nodded: "I guess so."
The Cangyuan witch's face turned slightly pale and she hurriedly paid the bill.
After leaving Emerald Town and returning to Onoton City, Witch Cangyuan's face looked extremely ugly.
She was a low-ranking witch who ran a small shop in the city of Onoton that could barely make a living.
One day, a young customer came to the store to buy Mist Wood Liquid. The customer said that she saw a lady dyeing her nails in a style she had never seen before and it was very beautiful, and she also wanted to try it.
Witch Cangyuan didn't take it seriously at first, but some time ago when she went to Sasha Pharmacy to purchase supplies, she saw the owner Feisa's manicure and suddenly remembered what the customer said. She immediately asked about the location of the store.
Feisha just thought that she also wanted to have a manicure, so she told her enthusiastically.
The Witch of Cangyuan arrived at Emerald Town yesterday.
There were a lot of people in the nail salon at that time, so she made an appointment for the next afternoon.
Witch Cangyuan had been planning to rob the shop from the beginning. When she saw Fesa's nails, she knew that the shop was a golden goose that could make money.
After entering the store yesterday, she was even more determined to get the nail salon.
The shop owner was an ordinary human being who also kept a pitiful slime. It was easy for the Cangyuan witch to take over the shop because she was a dark magician.
Even though she had average magic talent and wasn't very strong, she could often kill opponents above her level by relying on the powerful destructive properties of dark magic. It was easy for her to deal with an ordinary woman and a slime.
She carefully observed the owner's technique in doing her nails and soon thought it was no big deal.
As long as she can get those beautiful materials and tools, she can also paint equally amazing nails.
She specifically made an appointment for the last time in the afternoon just to kill people and rob the store.
But two men came in, and she became greedy for the bag of red scorpion eyeballs. She planned to take the red scorpion eyeballs first and then take over the shop.
Now it seems that it’s a good thing that I didn’t act impulsively. The shop owner turned out to be a magician of light.
I didn't see it at first, probably because the store owner wasn't very talented and his magic power was low.
But the light attribute naturally restrains the dark attribute, so she cannot take any risks.
Witch Cangyuan has no intention of giving up the nail salon. She plans slowly and will always find an opportunity.
-
At the same time, in the nail salon.
[Successfully received 20 guests, mission completed! Rewards: 500 popularity points, Dragon Special Gem Glue Formula 2, and 3 drops of Starlight! ]
[Illustration collection progress 5, Luyao Nail Salon upgraded to a two-star store. Please keep working hard! ]
[You have a new task! Receive 100 guests and you will be rewarded with 10,000 popularity points, three dragon-specific gem glue formulas, three drops of Sunlight, and 20 bone-eating grasses! ]
!!!
The second mission is finally completed!
Ignoring the 500 popularity points, Lu Yao first looked at the formula for the Dragon Special Glue No. 2, which was completely different from the formula No. 1, and the materials had to be collected separately.
Moreover, the materials in recipe 2 did not look ordinary. Several of them that she knew of were extremely rare and hard to find.
The last line of small words at the end of the recipe caught Lu Yao's attention.
—Reinforce your weapons, shields, and armor to withstand a blow from a giant bone dragon.
Isn't this special glue for dragons
How can I add attributes
Lu Yao took out the first formula for comparison. At the end, there were only a few words written: "Dragon Special Gem Glue". And they were not small words, and there was no concealment.
There seemed to be some essential difference between Recipe 2 and Recipe 1. Lu Yao couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for now.
There were three more drops of starlight in the warehouse. Lu Yao did not take them out, but turned around to look through the illustrations.
Half of the dragon illustrations that were originally difficult to collect are now lit up, including the little golden dragon, little black dragon, little green dragon, little purple dragon, little fire dragon, little blue dragon... Then the human, elf, slime and witch categories all have lit icons.
This illustrated book is very detailed and has an illustrated book for each type of dragon.
Elves, knights, and witches are classified not only by race, but also by attributes.
Currently, only the fire knight is lit up in the knight category, which should be Elvy, and the dark magic witch is lit up in the witch category, which should be the guest just now.
Some of the material icons in the middle of the illustration are also lit up, including Extreme Crystal, Silver Crystal, Radiant Crystal, Magic Grass, Thorn Star Grass, Earth Black Lotus...
Lu Yao actually has a bit of a collecting habit, and he quite likes leisure tasks like collecting illustrated books.
The reward for the new task, "Glow of the Sun", looks similar to "Light of the Stars", probably just a shiny new color.
She was more interested in the bone-eating grass. It was said that this plant had become extinct on this continent and was a legendary material.
Rare things are always coveted, and Lu Yao was also very curious.
After the witch guest left, the store became quiet.
Lu Yao counted the things in the warehouse and sat down on the sofa. "Where have you two been these two days?"
Are you asking now
There was no explanation for what happened to the slime.
The two dragons were silent and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
Seeing the bag on the table, Lu Yao picked it up curiously. It was full and quite heavy. "What's in it?"
Harold and Si Jin remained silent. Lu Yao asked Mumu, "Do you know?"
Mumu nodded obediently and wanted to answer immediately.
Harold's forehead was bulging with veins, and he felt unhappy again. He snatched the bag and poured out the words, "When we pass through the desert, the blind red scorpion monsters bump into us. We can remove their eyes if we don't need them anymore."
Eyeballs as big as fists rolled all over the table, a bright red mass.
Lu Yao thought that it was a good thing that he had studied in the amusement park once, so seeing this kind of thing only made his scalp numb, but he didn't vomit.
She carefully stretched out a finger and poked the skin of an eyeball. It was soft and a little cold. She smiled and asked, "Could this be the eyeball of a level 12 red scorpion monster?"
Harold's ears turned red: "..."
Si Jin looked away: "..."
Lu Yao became happy, "Okay, I forgive you for what happened this time. From now on, Mumu will look after the store, and you two will be the guards, and you can help me collect materials occasionally."
"… "
"… "
Harold and Si Jin were speechless. How could she have the nerve to fight back
With all the materials gathered and a mission just completed, Lu Yao is ready to upgrade the nail salon.
She wanted to build a separate room specifically for making magic props and potions, and also put the matter of recruiting apprentices on the agenda.
Lu Yao stored the red scorpion eyeballs into the warehouse, communicated with the system about the upgrade direction, and asked it to post a notice to recruit apprentices.
During the store maintenance, the dragon and slime went back to their respective homes, and Lu Yao also returned to the snack bar with the ingredients, where Xingzi was waiting for her.
Bai Ming’s one-week store manager experience card has temporarily ended, and starting tomorrow Xingzi will be the deputy store manager.
Lu Yao and Xingzi have a soul bond, and she also sees Xingzi's life before death.
On the eve of her death, Xingzi didn't sleep the whole night. The boy she had a crush on confessed to her that day, and she immediately decided to go to his city to see him the next day.
She met with a car accident on the road and died on the spot. The desire to "go see him" became a permanent obsession.
Xingzi has been in the dreamland for many years, but her world is similar to the world Lu Yao lives in now.
Xingzi said that the residents living in the Dreamland are not from the same timeline. People from different time and space and different worlds may be attracted to the Dreamland if their obsessions linger after death.
This is the mercy of the Demon Lord.
Lu Yao’s world is not Xingzi’s world, but Xingzi is still full of expectations.
She said she was ready for a new world.
After crossing life and death, some things will disappear, but some things will be immortal.
Lu Yao and Xingzi went downstairs together. Bai Ming, Xiao Qie, Qi Chen, Quan Shengju, Chi, Yu Cai and Mo Cheng were all waiting for them downstairs.
"Why are you all here?" Lu Yao was a little curious.
Quan Shengju stepped forward first and said shyly, "Shopkeeper, I want to apply to purchase a batch of soybeans. Recently, a customer said he wanted to eat tofu pudding, and I think we can sell it for a limited time. When we sell tofu pudding, we will stop selling fermented rice balls."
Lu Yao nodded: "Okay, no problem."
You'll get tired of eating the same thing all the time, so it's good to change the taste occasionally.
After Quan Shengju finished speaking, Mo Cheng stepped forward again: "Shopkeeper, I would like to apply for a batch of curry powder ingredients. I've been craving for curry chicken rice recently, so we'll also sell it for a limited time, and other dishes will be half price during this period. Do you think it's okay?"
These guys now have some ideas. Lu Yao was quite surprised and nodded in agreement immediately.
Lu Yao has been spending most of her time in the nail salon and rarely stays there for long. The shop assistants want to pester her when they see her.
Bai Ming handed her a box containing 50,000 RMB, all of which were collected by the NPCs in the park from the game.
Knowing that a certain type of currency in the game is useful in the real world, the NPCs took the initiative to collect it, and finally the captain of the guard handed it over to the snack bar.
Paradise is now much smaller in size, and people are beginning to look for other meanings in life.
The road may be long, but no one cares.
Bai Jian passed by a snack bar and heard a lot of noise inside. He came over to take a look and found that it was indeed the owner who returned.
He took out three black rings and handed them over, "Next month's subsidy."
The ring that Lu Yao put up for sale online for two million yuan has not been sold yet. He was afraid that she would be out of money, so he recently mobilized other districts to let NPCs pick up those red banknotes in the game.
There has actually been a bit of panic in the Paradise forum lately.
Many players feel that the number of black rings and the overall number of phantom rings are decreasing.
In the high-level player group, someone took a screenshot of Lu Yao's post about selling a ring and asked, "Big guys, is this black ring worth 2 million?"
The big guys who mocked the ring for being expensive for 300,000 yuan some time ago kept silent until they knew that the ring was later sold for 1 million yuan.
Now, apart from this post, there are no more posts selling black rings on the forum.
Zhuang Liang was chatting in the group chat at the time, and when he saw this question, he kindly replied, "If you want to buy, buy it quickly. The next one might double the price."
As soon as he saw the account, he knew it was Lu Yao. He didn't know what means she used to almost monopolize the black ring.
He believed that she could definitely do it, selling one coin and doubling the price.
The person who asked the question immediately turned around and sent a private message to Lu Yao.
However, Lu Yao was visiting the entertainment center in the city center and didn't think of logging into the forum.
She bought a set of Go equipment and tomorrow was the time she had agreed to meet Mu Xin.
-
Early in the morning, Lu Yao pushed open the door of the nail salon holding chess sets.
The system maintenance has just ended, and there is no major change in the store decoration, except that there is a black door next to the wooden lattice cabinet.
Behind the door is a new isolated room - Lu Yao's new research room.
Before the store opened, Lu Yao sneaked into the laboratory, took out the materials he had prepared for a long time, and threw them into the crucible prepared in advance one by one according to the proportions and sequence.
It took her three attempts before she succeeded in refining dragon-specific gem glue that was exactly the same in quality and effect as the one rewarded by the system.
There weren't many materials prepared, and after using them several times, there wasn't enough left for another batch, so she simply moved on to the next experiment.
Lu Yao took out the armor plates he had prepared in advance and engraved the dark magic circle and the light magic circle on both sides of the armor plates respectively.
This is the result of her recent research, which was aimed at solving the problem of dragon nail deformation.
Lu Yao had just finished drawing the magic circle on the five pieces of armor when he heard Harold's voice.
He was arguing with Mumu at the door.
The dragon disdained to attack the weakest monster like the slime, but was annoyed by him acting cute in front of the shop owner, so he made a few provocative remarks when they met at the door.
Mumu tilted her head, her big eyes were moist and she said, "Ji."
Harold clenched his fist in anger: "..."
Lu Yao went out to call Harold, hoping that he would come to test whether the armor could withstand the surge in magic power when the dragon transformed.
Harold put his paws behind his back, his handsome face gloomy, and he refused to remove his manicure no matter what in order to do this experiment.
Unable to force the dragon, Lu Yao sighed. Was she the only one left to do it herself
Mumu tugged at Lu Yao's trouser leg, stretched out his little paw, and said bravely: "Chiji!"
Lu Yao was surprised: "You want to do an experiment?"
Mumu nodded, flexed and stretched his little claws twice, and the ridges of his fingernails appeared on his five round fingers: "Ji!"
bring it on!
"Mommu is so brave, you are awesome!" Lu Yao was truly moved. At that moment, the image of the slime in her mind was many times taller than that of the dragon.
Harold: “…”
Si Jin arrived at the store a little later and didn't see anyone else. He immediately noticed that there was an extra door in the wall. There was a crisp crackling sound coming from the half-open door.
He pushed the door open and saw Harold holding up his hands with a look of despair. Lu Yao was removing his nails for him with nail polish remover paper, and Mumu was holding a small box underneath to catch the gems that had fallen off his nails.
Si Jin: "…What's going on here?"
When Lu Yao saw him, he immediately called out, "We are just about to start testing, come over and take a look. We may encounter some problems, and I need your advice."
Harold put on the magic armor made by Lu Yao, and black reflective scales gradually appeared on the back of his hands and face. Magic power surged to his claws, and the sharp claws of the dragon were already visible.
Mumu didn't dare to act cute anymore and secretly hid behind Lu Yao.
Si Jin raised his eyes to look at Lu Yao. She had a calm expression, as if she had known for a long time that they were dragons.
The next second, strange changes occurred on the tips of Harold's claws.
Si Jin didn't bother to observe Lu Yao's expression. He stared at Harold's completely deformed dragon claw with astonishment on his face.
