[Successfully received 100 guests, mission completed! Rewards: 10,000 popularity points, three dragon glue formulas, three drops of Sunlight, and 20 bone-eating grasses! ]
[Luyao Nail Salon is extremely popular and has been upgraded to a three-star store. Please keep up the good work!]
[You have a new task! Collect all ten races in the Alexander Continent in the illustrations, and you will be rewarded with 100,000 popularity points, four special glue formulas, and 1 ancient weapon refining magic book. ]
On the morning of the second day of the event, after Lu Yao received three guests who had made appointments, the system prompt sounded, and he successfully survived the "mission failure" crisis.
The three apprentices were busy receiving guests, while Si Jin and Harold were sitting in the corner on duty.
Lu Yao was curious about the reward for this mission, so he stood up and hid in the laboratory.
Without even looking at the popularity reward, she first took out the small box containing the Brilliance of the Sun from the warehouse and opened it a little.
Three droplets of material lay at the bottom of the box, emitting a burning breath and shining with golden light.
Lu Yao took just one look and closed it immediately.
Although the door of the laboratory was closed, a powerful magical aura overflowed from it, which was very captivating.
Tina looked up at the black door, tried hard to suppress her curiosity, and continued working.
Two heads poked in from the crack in the door. Si Jin and Harold Long's eyes widened. They asked curiously, "What are you playing with secretly?"
Lu Yao waved, and Si Jin and Harold tiptoed in.
"Got some new materials." Lu Yao said.
Harold opened the small box, took a look, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Lu Yao, I want to use this!"
Si Jin snatched it from Harold, took a look at it, raised his head and said, "I want it too!"
Lu Yao took the small box back and threw it into the warehouse. "Don't slack off at work. I can consider it after three months."
Harold & Sikin: "..."
The two dragons walked out listlessly, and Lu Yao took out the bone-eating grass.
The black, slender grass leaves have an ordinary appearance and do not look like rare, extinct herbs at all. After refining, they can be used to strengthen materials.
The bundle of twenty bone-eating grasses was only as thick as Lu Yao's thumb. He had no idea what they could be used for, so he stored them in the warehouse for now.
Recipe 3 for dragon-specific glue, like Recipe 2, contains rare materials, including three materials from Warcraft above level 28 and two extremely rare herbs.
If Lu Yao was alone, it would be very difficult to collect all the materials needed for the recipe, but it is very convenient with Harold and Si Jin.
She planned to make a copy later and ask them to go out and look for it.
There is also a row of small notes at the end of recipe three - it can increase the weapon level and enchant the weapon with a life-sucking effect.
Lu Yao frowned. Glue No. 2 increases defense, glue No. 3 improves weapon performance. Can we expect that formula four and formula five will also have special effects
Among the five bottles of glue that the system asked her to exchange, perhaps only glue No. 1 is the real gem glue specially used for dragons, and glue No. 2 to No. 5 are all potions with special effects.
Lu Yao didn’t think about what he could do with these four bottles of special glue after they were refined. He opened the system and found the illustrated book that required him to collect for Task 4.
There are many races living on the continent of Alexandria, roughly divided into ten major races.
Currently, only the Dragons, Humans and Elves are lit up in the illustration, and the other seven icons are black. The remaining races cannot be seen at all just by looking at the silhouettes.
Lu Yao knew that there were dwarves and orcs in this world. These two species belonged to the sub-human race. Slimes were demons, and there should also be undead.
She planned to ask other people about the rest later and finish the task as soon as possible, as she didn't want to experience another crisis of mission failure.
The store's star rating has been upgraded, more customers are coming, and the apprentices are gradually able to work on their own. Lu Yao plans to spend some popularity points to upgrade the nail salon.
The store space needs to be expanded, and a few more employees need to be hired, and it would be best if suitable apprentices could be hired.
Lu Yao drew a sketch for the system after a long absence, and it will be maintained after closing the store tonight.

The Red Heart Guild is the largest and best adventurer's guild in the city of Braibis. It has three top adventure teams, two of which have hero-level members.
After registering as an adventurer, the guild will evaluate the adventurer's strength based on the level and success rate of the missions they accept, and issue level badges.
The badges are ranked from high to low as Hero, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. The badge level represents the strength of the adventurer.
There are less than ten heroic adventurers in the entire city of Braibis, and the Red Star Guild has two of them, which shows their strength.
At this time, a group of adventurers gathered in front of the task posting board. A strange task appeared on the bulletin board - an A-level task, which only allowed adventure teams with two or more platinum-level members to participate. The task reward was 10,000 gold coins, but the task content was to destroy a small shop in a remote town in the north of the empire.
"This mission is so simple, why is it A-rank?"
"Ten thousand gold, I'm so jealous!"
"This kind of mission is only C-rank at best, right? Five silver-rank adventurers can handle it. I also want 10,000 gold!"
Annie walked in from the doorway and her teammates immediately greeted her, "Great Magician!"
Annie is a member of the Silver Wing Adventure Team, one of the three top adventure teams of the Red Heart Guild.
Although there are no hero-level members in the team, there are three platinum-level members, and Annie, the number one magician in the entire guild.
The captain of the Silver Wing Team is Ian, a platinum-level adventurer and a warrior by profession.
The cheerful blond young man walked up to Annie and said, "You're finally back. We just received an interesting mission and are waiting for you to join us."
As soon as Ian finished speaking, a seductive red-haired woman holding a mission commission in her hand glanced at Annie with a half-smile, then turned to Ian and said, "Our Red Eyes Team has also accepted this mission. First come, first served."
The Hongtong team is another top team in the union. The captain Hongtong is a heroic adventurer whose profession is an assassin.
After a while, another Black Hawk team with heroic members also took on the task.
Generally speaking, once someone takes down a task posted on the bulletin board, no one else can take it up.
But another strange thing about this A-level task is that the client specifically noted that there is no limit on the number of people.
As long as the team's strength meets the requirements, they can take on this task.
Hongtong and Heiying didn't take this mission seriously at all. After walking out of the union gate, the two teams were divided into teams of two people.
The weaker team will carry out this A-level mission, while the heroic adventurer will take an auxiliary wizard to carry out the more difficult S-level mission.
The Silver Wings did not set off immediately, but surrounded Anne and asked her why she suddenly left Braibis City.
Anne found an excuse to get out of the way, took the task commission from Ian, and after reading the task requirements, her eyebrows jumped, "Let's give up this task."
Ian was confused, "Are you worried that we won't be able to compete with Red Eye and Black Eagle?"
Another Platinum-level companion beside him interrupted, "Hongtong and Clarissa are both on S-level missions. What are you afraid of when two Hero-levels are not here?"
Ian nodded. "Carter is right. This mission is easy to carry, but the reward is generous. The four of us can go there and come back in less than half a day."
Annie looked at the address on the mission commission—Luyao Nail Salon in Emerald Town. Thinking of the terrifying existence in that store and the magical properties of the owner, she couldn't help but shake her head. "This mission is much more difficult than an S-level mission. Not to mention our team, even if the heroic adventurers Red Eyes and Black Hawk went there in person, it would be difficult to complete it."
Ian and his companions stared with wide eyes, obviously unconvinced.
Annie sighed, pulled them to a corner, and whispered, "I know this store. The clerks are all vicious, and the owner is also very powerful. Our team has no chance of winning."
One of the team members, the orc Carter, stared with eyes wide open, still not believing it: "How is it possible? You don't want to go on the mission and are deliberately trying to scare us."
Ian pondered for a while, looked at Annie again, and said softly: "Annie, tell me the details of the store. I believe there are traps in this mission, but you have the information, so we may not lose."
No matter what Annie said, her companions didn't believe that three platinum-level adventurers and an excellent magician couldn't complete an A-level mission.
Anne couldn't persuade them and had to agree to go to Emerald Town with them.
She could understand the mentality of her companions. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that there would be several giant dragons occupying such a small shop, and the owner was a dual-attribute magician of light and darkness.
I don’t know who is so desperate as to dare to provoke that store.
Annie definitely didn't want to cause trouble in the nail salon. She just hoped that her teammates would be smart and not create an irreversible situation.

Emerald Town, Luyao Nail Salon.
Si Jin and Harold leaned against the door. A circle of adventurers gathered at the door, looking at the two of them warily.
The reward of 10,000 gold is tempting enough. In addition to the three top teams, many adventure teams that meet the requirements have set their sights on the nail salon.
Starting at noon, these people surrounded the nail salon like they were delivering food, scaring away many customers who wanted to enter the store.
Si Jin and Harold were almost annoyed. Not only were they all useless, but they also treated the nail salon as if it was theirs and kept sending the other criminals away.
Soon, members of the Red Eye Squad and the Black Hawk Squad also arrived in Emerald Town.
Both teams wanted to grab this piece of fat meat, so they walked out of the teleportation array and started fighting directly in the fountain square.
The Black Hawk team was more stable and knocked out two members of the Red Eye team and went straight to the nail salon.
The Black Hawk team included a warrior and a wind magician.
The magician directly released a wave of wind blades, indiscriminately attacking the people in front of the nail salon.
Lu Yao had just come out of the laboratory. He heard Mum say that someone was causing trouble outside, so he came out to take a look.
The magician of the Black Hawk team used his strength to attack and easily eliminated his colleagues who might steal the mission. He then released a wave of wind blades, preparing to cut off the nail salon signboard, to show his power first, and did not forget to taunt: "Luyao Nail Salon? What a crappy shop."
Lu Yao came out just in time to hear these words, and several wind blades came straight towards her face.
Harold pulled her to his side, raised his hand to block the wind blade, his brows furrowed like a rugged mountain, and he was worried: "No slacking off, deal with them immediately."
Si Jin summoned a magic circle to block the wind blade, then swung out a giant golden blade with his backhand and slashed towards the magician of the Black Hawk team head-on.
The magician chanted a spell quickly, and a thick blue shield appeared in front of him.
The magician felt relieved, thinking that he could block this attack.
However, the giant golden blade easily split the shield, "swish--" the shield shattered, and the golden blade chopped down with the force of thunder. The astonishment in the magician's eyes had not yet faded, and the man had already fallen down.
Anne rushed over with three teammates and saw black flames condensing in Harold's palms, melting the armor of the heavy sword warrior of the Black Hawk team.
It was an artifact-level armor made by a dwarf craftsman, and it was blessed by the Great Light Magician, but it was melted away so easily.
Annie looked at her teammates, "Do you want to go?"
“…” The three teammates who came here with full confidence froze in expression and shook their heads slowly.
Annie let out a sigh of relief and relaxed: "Since you have decided to give up, are you going back?"
The three teammates nodded reluctantly, still trying to make excuses in their hearts: It’s not that we can’t win, it’s just that we got into such a mess just for ten thousand gold, it’s not worth it.
Lu Yao was protected by Si Jin and Harold. From a distance, he saw Anne and a few others walking towards him from the street corner. They didn't say a word and seemed to be about to leave.
Her eyes stopped at Carter, who seemed to be an orc.
Lu Yao shouted, "Annie, do you want to bring your friends to the store to play?"
Anne turned around with all her might, trying to smile, "… Yeah, yeah."
Lu Yao saw clearly that there was indeed an orc with them, and his smile suddenly became gentle, "The store is not busy at the moment, come in and sit down."
Silver Wing Team member: "..."
