The last time Mumu performed "Splitting" for Lu Yao, it seemed to have scared her and she secretly shut herself off for a long time.
This time, he did not take off his clothes, but wore a small suit, which was also split into two pieces.
Without waiting for Lu Yao to react, one of the two moms turned around to find a rag and started cleaning the shop, while the other climbed onto the workbench and looked at Lu Yao eagerly.
Lu Yao was puzzled for a while, and then an idea came to his mind: "You mean you can split up and work as a clerk while learning to do manicure?"
Mumu: "Ji!"
It’s true, what kind of magical slime is this
Lu Yao unilaterally announced that slime is the cutest monster in the other world!
"Okay, Mumu will also be an apprentice and study with Eugenia and Tina." Lu Yao said.
Harold and Sikin pouted on the side, little slime, you only know how to act nice and please others!
After a few minutes of hustle and bustle, Lu Yao walked to the workbench and, since there were no customers in the morning, gave the three apprentice nail artists, including Mumu, some basic lessons—the names and uses of the tools, types of nail polish, small decorations, how to use various types of glue... There were too many categories, and it would be a huge project to explain them one by one.
For people from another world, it is a little more difficult to suddenly understand these things than for apprentices in this world, because they lack the corresponding concepts.
Lu Yao spoke slowly, demonstrating with the nail support and nail piece.
At the same time, tool sets for practice were distributed to the three apprentices. She used the unused tools and materials she had used when she was self-study to put together a simple beginner's pack, which was enough for three people.
Listen to the explanation while practicing to deepen your impression.
Tina learns very quickly and has a good memory. Basically, after Lu Yao explains it once, she can fully master the use of all tools, nail polish, accessories, brushes and glue.
Eugenia was a little nervous, but she learned well.
Her advantage is that she has very dexterous hands, and she easily mastered the trick of using the brush. When practicing on the nails, she got the thickness and uniformity just right.
Lu Yao couldn't help but praise: "Well done."
Eugenia suppressed her excitement and smiled shyly.
Mumu was even more surprising to Lu Yao. Although the slime was small, its little claws were very flexible.
After Lu Yao observed for a while, he found that Mumu had Tina's good memory and her hands were as flexible as Eugenia's.
She rubbed Mumu's smooth head and praised, "Mummu is great!"
Mumu's round eyes were bright and clear: "Chi!"
When Lu Yao was halfway through his story, the customer who had made an appointment for a magic manicure arrived, the little golden dragon Kaka and his mother Elgar.
Elgar came for the appointment yesterday at noon, earlier than Freud and Gaga.
After Elgar transformed into a human form, he had beautiful and charming long golden curly hair, deep and delicate facial features, and a very gentle temperament.
She pulled Kaka into the store, looking a little helpless: "Owner, can you do it for this child as well? He knew I was coming to the store and insisted on coming with me."
There were still some tear marks on the little golden dragon Kaka's face, obviously he had been crying.
This little golden dragon was very delicate and Lu Yao was deeply impressed by him.
She explained that if you don't change the style, you can just change the original manicure to magic manicure and it can be done immediately. If you want to redesign it, you have to make a new appointment. The latest appointment date is the day after tomorrow.
Kaka said he would change it right away and he couldn't wait to have magic manicure.
Lu Yao left the outside matters to Mumu and the two new apprentices, and led Elgar and Kaka into the laboratory.
Kaka worked faster, so Lu Yao did it for him first.
It took about two hours to complete.
Kaka went out to talk to Tina, holding up the magic manicure he had just finished. He was surprised to hear that Tina was an apprentice in a nail salon.
In the laboratory, Lu Yao began to do Elgar's nails.
Elgar also loves extreme crystals. Yesterday, he discussed with Lu Yao the style to be made and brought a large box of extreme crystals and some pure and transparent amethysts.
This design is quite complicated and took me nearly four hours to complete.
When Freud came with his wife Cecil, Lu Yao was still in the laboratory.
They waited half an hour for Elgar's performance to finish.
Cecil had never been to a nail salon before, but after seeing Gaga's nails, he became quite interested in manicures.
When she passed by Elgar when she entered the laboratory, she immediately noticed his shiny manicure and asked in surprise, "Did you just do this?"
Elgar's manicure is a set of gemstone flowers. The golden ultra-crystals are stacked together to form the pistil, and the pure amethysts surround the ultra-crystals like petals. Two or three flowers make up a small branch.
The flowers on each nail are in different shapes, some are still small buds, and some are already in full bloom. The purple and gold colors are unexpectedly combined, blending into an elegant and restrained temperament, which is very suitable for Elgar.
Elgar wiggled his fingertips, in a very good mood, and whispered in Cecil's ear: "The owner's craftsmanship and aesthetics are very much in line with the preferences of the dragon clan, so don't worry about making any requests."
There seemed to be sparks dancing in Cecil's fiery red eyes. She had originally planned to keep it simple for the first time and not be too exaggerated, but now her desire to win came to the fore again.
She wanted to make something flamboyant, at least as flamboyant as Elgar's.
Cecil looked at the design drawings and asked Lu Yao if he had any special ideas.
Lu Yao looked at the Fire Dragon couple, who both had red hair and red eyes and looked a perfect match, and blurted out, "How about you two do a couple's manicure?"
What is couple's manicure
The fire dragon couple was very curious.
That day, Lu Yao stayed in the laboratory until dark, and only then finished the "couple" manicure for the Fire Dragon couple.
Freud and Cecil raised their shiny paws and left with satisfaction.
Lu Yao stretched and stood up, unable to help but sigh that the dragon race had such strong genetic talents, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, even doing couple manicures would not be out of place at all.
She touched her stomach, pulled herself away from her work, and suddenly felt very hungry.
Lu Yao walked out of the laboratory. Tina and Eugenia were still sitting on the workbench practicing, and Mumu was standing beside the sofa.
A silver-haired young man in a robe sat on the sofa. Lu Yao paused and asked, "Who is this?"
Mumu moved over and explained the situation to Lu Yao.
During the day, many students from the Magic Academy came to do manicures, and because Lu Yao was busy, they all registered and made appointments.
The man sitting on the sofa insisted on waiting for the owner to come out, and Mum couldn't persuade him, so she could only watch from the side.
The silver-haired young man sat upright on the sofa, with handsome features. Even with his eyes closed, his captivating temperament could not be concealed.
Lu Yao walked to the single sofa and sat down. "Are you here to get your nails done?"
Carlos nodded and said, "Yeah."
The young man's voice was soft and gentle, yet his tone was inexplicably cold.
Lu Yao nodded and said bluntly: "It's closing time. We can't accept any more guests today. Would you like to make an appointment for another time?"
After doing four sets of magic manicures in a row, she was really tired.
Carlos thought for a few seconds and said calmly: "Sure, when are you free?"
Lu Yao lowered his head to look at Mumu, and Mumu took out the small notebook for appointments.
Wow, the next three days are all fully booked.
She still has two sets of magic manicures to do tomorrow, so she can only squeeze out a little time to come out.
She thought for a while, counted them one by one on the notebook with the tip of her pen, and finally said, "Tomorrow night, after half past six."
I'm too busy, so I can only work overtime later.
Carlos nodded again: "Okay. I like black and lotus."
lotus
Lu Yao felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
She was too hungry to think.
Carlos stood up after he finished speaking. His guards were standing guard outside the nail salon, surrounding him as he left Emerald Town.
After seeing off the last guest, Lu Yao picked up the snacks on the table and started eating. Mum considerately brought him a cup of warm water.
After I put something in my stomach, the weak feeling in my hands and feet eased a little.
Lu Yao turned to look at Tina and Eugenia, "It's closing time, you should go back too. Mom, please go to the lounge and call Harold and Si Jin. I'm so tired, I want to take a rest."
After seeing the clerk off, Lu Yao closed the shop door with his tired body.
On the way home, Lu Yao received a call from Zhuang Liang.
Zhuang Liang was very polite and asked her to log into the forum to take a look and see if there was anyone who wanted to buy the ring.
Lu Yao randomly found a roadside stall and bought some takeout fried noodles. He returned home and logged into the Paradise Forum while eating. There were several messages in his private mailbox expressing his desire to buy the black ring.
She replied to every one of them, three of them replied immediately, and one reply did not receive any response for the time being.
Of the three people who responded, two tried to bargain, saying that the previous ring cost one million and two million was too expensive.
Lu Yao eliminated these two people and replied to the buyer who first sent her a message and asked where the delivery was after receiving a reply.
The buyer's surname was Xiao. Lu Yao left her address and asked him to come to Yaoguang City. She booked a teahouse far away from her residence and the shopping street and agreed to deliver the goods in three days.
-
early morning.
Two girls in magic academy uniforms were standing excitedly at the door of the nail salon. As soon as Lu Yao opened the door, they came in. They were the two customers who had made appointments for the morning yesterday.
The girl with long black hair looked at Lu Yao and asked, "Are you the owner?"
Lu Yao nodded and handed over the tablet. "You two can pick the styles first. The first one to choose can be made first."
Three guests were booked in the morning, two students from the magic academy and Dominic. Lu Yao and Dominic had an appointment at 10 a.m., so these two had to finish as soon as possible.
When Mumu, Tina and Eugenia came to the store, the first customer had already chosen her style and had her nails polished, and they immediately started applying the first layer of protective polish.
Mumu split into two, one cleaned the shop, and the other moved to Lu Yao's side to study.
Tina and Eugenia were also watching.
The girl with long black hair chose cherry blossom pink blush nails. Blush nails are very cute and especially suitable for the current weather.
Her companion chose a misty blue and icy silver cat's eye style and asked the owner to paint some white flowers on the nail surface as embellishment.
This style is slightly cool, but Lu Yao made the color extremely natural, and it is still very suitable for young ladies.
The two guests were very satisfied after the meal. They paid the bill and went straight to the Fountain Square.
Because the appointment was made quite early, they stayed in a hotel in Emerald Town last night and now just wanted to get back to school as soon as possible.
As soon as the customers left, the three apprentices immediately took out their tools and nail polish and tried to imitate the two styles that Lu Yao had just made.
Starting learning by imitating is actually a good idea.
Of course, once the basic skills have been honed to a certain level, manicurists still need to focus on training their aesthetic and design abilities.
After imitating several times, they still couldn't achieve the natural effect as Lu Yao. The apprentices gradually realized that this was something that was easy to watch the shop owner do, but extremely difficult to do by themselves.
At ten o'clock, Dominic arrived at the nail salon on time. Lu Yao let the apprentices practice freely and led Dominic into the laboratory.
Dominic looked at the magical materials on the shelves in the room before walking into the transparent room next to it.
He pulled out a bunch of gems from his arms, his blue eyes sparkling, "Use all these stones. I want the shiniest nails."
This is a bunch of blue-purple gems. If you pick them carefully, you can arrange them into a gradient, which looks like the color of hydrangea.
Lu Yao took a look at Dominic's appearance and imagined in his mind that such a strong face would go out wearing hydrangea-themed manicure. Even a dragon would not be able to hold back.
Forget it, let’s change our thinking.
She shook her head, drew a sketch, asked Donnie for his approval, and then began to mix colors and weave magic circles.
Ever since Lu Yao began to use magic of two attributes to weave a magic circle to hold the manicure, Dominic's expression changed. He gradually sat up straighter from his originally relaxed posture, staring at the formation drawn by Lu Yao without blinking.
"Is this the magic circle you constructed yourself?" Dominic asked tentatively.
Lu Yao nodded.
Dominic's blue eyes bulged slightly, and there was a light in his eyes, as if he had found something that made him extremely excited. "Since it can be done to this extent, it is a bit of a waste of this novel idea to just use it to reinforce nails. Has the owner considered using it to make some more practical designs?"
Lu Yao was a little surprised, as he had thought that this giant dragon was very aloof, because both his appearance and the aura he exuded were extremely aloof.
Being alone with Mr. Dragon was very stressful, but he suddenly broke the atmosphere and talked to her about the practicality of nail magic.
Lu Yao couldn't help but want to ask: "For example, what kind of practical design?"
Dominic Long glared and looked away slightly. "It's just out of combat instinct. I think your magic has not been developed to its full potential, but you seem to be satisfied with it. If you are willing to continue researching, I can lend you this book to read."
He pulled out a book with a pale blue cover from his arms, half-closed his eyes, and suddenly became stammering: "If you don't want to read it, then even..."
Before he could finish, Lu Yao took the magic book with a plain cover and said, "Thank you, I'll take a look, maybe I can get some inspiration. Well, I'll return it to you in a month, okay?"
The blue dragon shook his head in annoyance, and his voice suddenly rose: "If I lend it to you, please read it carefully. Can you understand it in a month? At least lend it to you for three months and then return it to me!"
Lu Yao: “…Oh, oh, okay, thank you.”
After a brief exchange, Dominic stopped initiating conversation and Lu Yao began to concentrate on doing her nails.
The theme of Dominic's manicure is the universe. The gems he brought are similar to his eyes and colors, and he can also pick out gradient levels.
Lu Yao designed his finger as the background of the universe, with gems of various colors rotating around a certain center like planets. She designed a special magic circle, and each gem inlaid on the nail would gradually flash.
Dominic doesn't understand the concept of the universe, but that doesn't stop him from liking the design of this manicure, which is rough yet delicate, and the deep color perfectly sets off the beauty of the Almos gemstone, which simply hits his aesthetic point!
Dominic's aloofness was completely broken at this moment. He raised his hands and stared intently, shaking his fingers constantly, as if he could not see enough.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and the black door of the laboratory was knocked open. Mumu moved in panic and said anxiously, "Luyao, Luyao, there is a scary human outside."
Lu Yao stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
About twenty knights surrounded the nail salon, and a noble girl with long hair tied up high stood in the shop waving a feather fan.
Eugenia huddled in the corner, shivering, while Tina was confronting the noble girl with a silver sword at her neck.
It's not necessarily that Tina couldn't deal with the knight, but she probably didn't use force because she was concerned about the store.
Lu Yao walked over to separate Tina and the knight with the sword raised, and looked at the noble girl, "What happened?"
Helena glanced at Lu Yao and said in a proud tone: "Who are you?"
Lu Yao: "I am the owner, Lu Yao."
Helena then looked at Lu Yao straight in the eye and said casually, "So you are the owner. I want a manicure. I want the most expensive and gorgeous one."
Lu Yao said calmly, "Sorry, the appointments are full. I won't take any today."
Helena, with the last name "Kinclair", has been acting recklessly since she was born and has never given in to anyone. She is even more arrogant than the princess and has never been rejected so directly by anyone.
She was already furious, but she didn't show it on her face. She still looked like a spoiled young lady, "Who made the reservation? Isn't there anyone in the store? Since I'm here at this time, you can do it for me first!"
Outside the door, Amos just happened to hear this, pushed aside the royal knights surrounding the door of the nail salon, and walked into the store, "Who wants to take up my time? Do you want to die?"
Helena turned around and her expression turned a little ugly. There were clearly twenty knights surrounding outside, so how did this man get in
Dominic finally heard the noise and came out of the laboratory, just in time to meet Amos.
Amos immediately noticed his shiny claws and turned to look at Lu Yao with an anxious look in his eyes, "Shopkeeper."
It’s my turn. It’s my turn!
Lu Yao shook his head and pointed at Helena, "Wait a moment."
Amos raised his hand and rolled up a hurricane with purple lightning. Helena and twenty knights were all swept out and disappeared into the air. "It's okay now."
Lu Yao: “…Okay.”
Si Jin discovered a secret place where a treasure was hidden, so he took three days off to go treasure hunting. Harold was actually in the store today.
Lu Yao asked Amos to sit down and wait for a while. She turned and went to the lounge to find Harold, wanting to see what the guard who did nothing at this critical moment was doing.
The lounge was quiet, the curtains were drawn and the light was dim.
The comic books and snacks fell to the floor, and Harold lay on the sofa with his eyes closed and his brows tightly furrowed.
He fell asleep.
It seems like I'm still having a nightmare.
Lu Yao walked over and gave him a push, "Harold, Harold."
Harold was trapped in a dream in which he saw a huge dragon skeleton.
The dragon skeleton suddenly raised its head, its dark eye sockets stared straight at him, and a sad voice rang out: "Harold, Harold, you want to..."
The next moment, Harold heard Lu Yao's voice and suddenly opened his eyes. His dark blue eyes were full of confusion. "What's wrong with me?"
Lu Yao stood up and opened the curtains. "I ate too much and had a nightmare."
Harold: “…”
Lu Yao: "If you have nothing to do, go out and spend some time with Mumu and the others. I have to get busy."
Harold shook his head, still looking confused.
He sat there in a daze for a while, then stood up and went out, only to learn from Tina that someone had just come to cause trouble and Amos had driven the person away.
The little black dragon suddenly felt annoyed.
