The two guards at the door of the nail salon were obviously not ordinary people. They easily repelled several adventure teams. The members of the Black Hawk team were no different from ordinary fry in front of them.
Not knowing what kind of terrible situation was going on in the store, the three members of the Silver Wing Team, except Annie, walked into the nail salon with extremely heavy hearts.
I’m dying! I’m dying!
When they walked into the store, the scene they saw was completely different from what Ian and his friends had imagined.
The store is bright and clean, and even exudes a sense of warmth.
If you look carefully, you will find many new and interesting things that you have never seen anywhere else.
Elf Carrie noticed a customer who was getting her nails done at the workbench, she leaned over to take a look, and couldn't take her eyes away.
Is this dyeing the nail
She had never seen such trendy and beautiful styles, with rich and bright colors, including her favorite green and light purple.
Lu Yao came over and introduced: "The store is having an event, 10% off for nail dyeing. If you are interested, you can try it."
The elf was curious: "Your family only does the business of dyeing nails?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes."
The elf was puzzled, wondering what big shot this small shop could have offended and attracted so many adventurers.
Now that they have entered the store, except for the guards outside the door, the owner and other people in the store look like ordinary people. They might as well take this opportunity to collect intelligence. The Black Hawk Team and the Red Eye Team have already failed, so they might still have a chance.
The elf sorted out his thoughts, looked up and smiled at Lu Yao: "I want to do my nails."
Lu Yao handed her a number plate and said, "You'll have to wait a while. There are snacks and water in the recreation area over there. Sit down and take a rest."
There is still half a day left in the discount event, and there are actually quite a few customers waiting in the store.
The place became a little quieter because of adventurers causing trouble and scaring away some guests. The elf's number plate is nine.
Ian and Carter took a closer look at the environment in the store and had the same idea as the elf.
The same team often goes on missions together, and they can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Lu Yao's target was Carter, but she talked to Annie first: "I don't know what happened today, but a lot of adventurers came. Are you one of them?"
I can’t let the store owner know that I accepted the task, it would be too embarrassing.
Anne tried hard to find an excuse to get away with it, but when she looked down and saw her nails, something changed.
She shook her head repeatedly. "The owner misunderstood. These guys are my teammates in the same adventuring team. I just returned to school these past two days, and they saw my manicure and were very interested. They insisted on coming over to take a look."
The elf only noticed Annie's manicure at this time. She stood up and walked over, holding Annie's hand, with surprise in her eyes, "So you have painted your nails in this shop, they are so beautiful."
Annie's expression froze, and she didn't dare to look into Lu Yao's eyes again: "..."
I've never felt my teammates were so stupid.
Lu Yao smiled gently from beginning to end, and glanced at Ian and Carter, "So your teammates are all here to get manicures?"
Anne turned to look at Ian and Carter, signaling with her eyes: nod and say "yes".
Ian scratched his head awkwardly, "Yes, yes, we want to do manicures too."
Lu Yao stood up happily. "I'm not busy right now. Can I start with this orc?"
Carter: “…”
Carter sat down on the chair at the workbench in a daze. It was clearly a simple task with a C-level difficulty and an A-level reward. He couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
He is a heavy sword warrior, carrying two big swords on his back. He is the most stable person in the team when fighting. What does he look like with dyed armor
Lu Yao took out the tools and introduced them, "There is an event in the store today, 10% off for nail polish experience. Take a look first to see if there are any styles you like."
Carter hypnotized himself in his heart that this was a necessary sacrifice for the mission.
It's just dyeing the armor, at least it won't hurt.
Lu Yao handed over a tablet and said casually: "If you don't like simple styles, you can also do custom manicures. Here are some styles for reference."
Carter was reluctant about dyeing his nails and did not make a decision immediately. He picked up the tablet and looked through it, trying to delay time.
To be honest, the level of this nail dyeing shop is very high, and the effect cannot be achieved by the cheap mist wood liquid sold in ordinary witch shops.
Carter looked through a few of them and his eyes gradually focused. These nails were actually quite beautiful.
After flipping through several pictures, Carter's gaze suddenly paused. His pupils shrank slightly. His amber eyes were full of surprise. He pointed at a design on the tablet and asked, "Is this also the design you made?"
Lu Yao took a look and nodded: "Yes, this is a custom-made magic manicure."
Carter took a deep breath and swallowed hard, "How much does it cost to make this style?"
Lu Yao frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "Five hundred gold coins."
Carter shrugged his shoulders. It was so expensive, but so beautiful!
He always thought that only women would dye their nails. This was the first time he saw such a cool style and he couldn't bear to take his eyes off it.
When Ian heard the terrifying offer of five hundred gold and saw Carter's expression change several times in a short period of time, he couldn't help but stand up and walk over to see what he saw.
Carter pointed at the model on the tablet, his eyes sparkling, "Ian, look at this!"
Ian thought that Carter was an orc after all, and was curious by nature, and was surprised by everything he saw.
It’s just dyeing the nails, what can you do with it
He looked down at the tablet. It was not a picture, but a five-second video—purple lightning shaped like tree roots flickered on the gray surface, illuminating the layers of thick dark clouds.
Dynamically dyed armor, with a strong magical aura.
What Ian found most incredible was the lightning on the nail. It was not a pattern drawn on it, but more like real lightning summoned out and sealed on the nail.
Ian is a thunder warrior, very sensitive to magic of related attributes.
This set of manicure not only has lightning magic, but also the aura of magic arrays with other attributes.
"Did the owner do this manicure?" Ian looked at Lu Yao and thought it was unlikely.
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes. This style takes a lot of time. If you want to make it, it's best to make an appointment to come tomorrow."
Ian was shocked and stepped back to Annie, asking in a low voice, "Who is this shop owner?"
Annie smiled bitterly. She had signed a contract with the dragon and could not reveal anything about the nail salon and the dragon. She could only say ambiguously, "Give up this mission and don't think about it anymore. After you finish your nails, we'll go back."
Ian placed his hands on his knees, his eyes flickering.
Carter stared at the lightning magic manicure for a while, but five hundred gold was really too expensive.
He reluctantly put the tablet down and randomly picked a solid black model.
Orcs are a kind of sub-humans who can transform into human form, but some orc characteristics will remain on their bodies.
Carter is a tiger-shaped orc with a round face, a pair of furry ears on his head, and a layer of tiger-striped fur on the back of his hands.
It was Lu Yao’s first close encounter with an orc, and he pinched Carter’s furry paw out of curiosity.
Carter's eyes widened in surprise. This human was so bold.
Lu Yao took out the sandpaper and started to grind his nails. He thought of something, "Do I need to transform into a beast in battle?"
Carter nodded blankly, "Yeah, sometimes I need it."
Like the dragon race, the beastman's beast form is stronger than his human form.
Lu Yao nodded, "Then I'll use a magic circle to hold it in place for you. Even if you transform into a beast, your nail polish won't fall off."
Carter didn't understand the meaning of using magic to hold on. Ian's expression changed, and he stood up and walked over, staring at Lu Yao's movements closely.
The solid color style is very simple and only requires two layers of magic circles.
After polishing the nails, apply base coat, first draw a light-attribute magic circle on the nail surface, layer black nail polish several times, and shine a light.
Draw a dark attribute magic circle before sealing the layer, and finally use magic to seal the layer to complete it.
Lu Yao let go of his hand and put away his tools, "You can try to transform into a beast."
Carter was already shocked when he saw the shopkeeper using magic armor dyeing with both light and dark attributes.
Hearing what she said about the beastly claws, the slightly hairy hands instantly turned into huge beast claws, covered with fur, with black claw tips exposed, and pink round pads on the palms facing downwards.
The newly done nails did not fall off, but after a brief break, they quickly recovered and remained intact on the nail surface.
Carter was amazed, he had never thought that magic could be used in this way.
Ian took a step back, his eyes equally filled with shock.
Not only is the owner a magician with both light and dark attributes, but her use of magic is so strange that it is both surprising and incredible.
Ian urged Carter to get up, sat down in front of Lu Yao, stretched out his hands, and took the initiative to say: "Owner, I want to do the same manicure as Carter."
He had completely forgotten the original intention of coming to this shop today. He just wanted to see the magical magic circle again.
In the evening, the four members of the Silver Wing team came out of the nail salon. Ian and Carter had black magic manicures, and the elf had green smudges done.
Anne drank tea all afternoon and her stomach was full.
When they reached the fountain square, Carter was still looking down at his fingers and couldn't help saying, "That lightning magic manicure is so beautiful. I want to save money!"
The three teammates were not surprised at all.
When the elf Carrie saw the high priest's dynamic manicure, she was stunned for five minutes.
The shop owner said that the pair owned by the high priest cost one thousand gold coins, which was more expensive than the one Carter liked.
Ian was thinking about the magic circle used by the shop owner. If he continued to develop it, those two magic circles could be fully applied to weapons.
Unfortunately, the shop owner has no intention of developing weapons, and those who want to do so do not have the magical talent to do so.

Lu Yao opened the illustration book and found that the icons of the sub-human race had been lit up, with six remaining black.
"Tina, besides humans, dragons, elves, sub-humans and demons, what other races are there on this continent?" Lu Yao asked.
The two-day activity had just ended and the three apprentices were exhausted.
Tina lay on the workbench and answered weakly, "Undead, fairies, vampires, demons."
Lu Yao's eyes lit up. It sounded like these people were not interested in manicures. This task was quite challenging.
Harold and Si Jin came in from outside, both looking unhappy.
Harold walked straight to Lu Yao and said, "Don't go out alone recently. If you need anything, call me, Si Jin or Tina."
Lu Yao was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Si Jin continued, "We went out to check and found that someone had failed a quest in the Adventurer's Guild."
"The target is a nail salon?" Lu Yao already had a guess.
Si Jin nodded solemnly.
Harold said nonchalantly: "Don't worry. They are just trash. I can take care of them with just one finger."
Lu Yao propped up his chin and thought, "The problem is not how strong these adventurers are, but that if they make trouble, it will affect the business of the store."
"Forget it, I'll think of a way." Lu Yao said.
"What do you want to do?" Si Jin asked.
Not only him, Harold and Tina were also curious.
The best way to solve this problem is to destroy the source of the trouble - the Heart Guild.
For others, this is a difficult thing to do.
But if Lu Yao asks for help from the dragon, the Heart Guild can be crushed in an instant.
Lu Yao roughly guessed who had issued the task, but she wanted to complete the system task first.
"Are there any other races in the Adventurer's Guild, such as fairies, vampires, necromancers, or other powerful characters?"
Harold and Sikin didn't understand these things.
Tina raised her hand. "These races that the shopkeeper mentioned rarely appear openly in human territory. But there was a rumor before that an adventurer with demon blood appeared in the city of Braibis."
Demons usually appear in the human world only after being summoned at the cost of souls.
If Tina's information is true, this demon adventurer may be Lu Yao's only chance to light up the demon clan icon.
She didn't want to sacrifice her soul for the mission.
Lu Yao took out the magic book given by Si Jin and turned to one of the pages. "Let's use this magic circle first."
