Chapter 5: The Mystery Shop

The world is wonderful, always full of wonders and surprises, and not only do you not know what the next chocolate you're going to taste will taste like, and sometimes you don't know what kind of world will be behind the door you have to open. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info - Kennan

"Do you have any needs, dear guest. A melodious voice like a silver bell rang in Kennan's ears.

Kenan looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the owner of the voice seemed to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, her pink hair was tied in a side ponytail and hung down at the back of her head, a black dress set off her graceful body, black stockings outlined the perfect curve of her legs, and she was not wearing shoes on her feet, just stepping on a beige carpet, and there was a cat-like pocket that flew up and down next to her.

Seeing this, Kennan had to wonder if he had gone to the wrong room, and just as he was about to exit the room to look at the door number, he found that the iron door of the dormitory, which was originally a little heavy, had become a quaint carved wooden door.

Kenan turned his head to the girl in confusion, "I think I may have entered the wrong room, can you tell me how to leave?"

"That's right, guests, anyone who needs it in their hearts will be guided here by fate. The silver bell continued to ring.

"So this isn't the Lilith Hut's Wizarding Academy's freshman dormitory?"

"Of course not, this is the Destiny Shop, the place where all worlds meet, and the post station of the long river of destiny. ”

"Then why am I here?" asked Kennan.

"Anyone who has a strong desire in their hearts and is favored by the god of fate will be guided to come here, of course, there are many ways to come here, there are people like you who push the door to enter, there are also people who enter by walking down the stairs, and those who are teleported by a random teleportation array, of course, in fact, as long as you enter the Destiny Store silently in your heart, you will be brought in. ”

"It seems that the guests have a lot of questions, so why don't you sit down and talk slowly? The girl waved her hand, and in the middle of the room there were two single sofas facing each other, a coffee table, and the fireplace on the wall was blazing, and the girl sat on one of the sofas, "Please sit down, do you want to have a drink?"

Seeing this, Kenan simply sat down on the sofa opposite the girl, "Feel free to do it, it's best if there's hot cocoa." ”

"Is it hot cocoa, I bought some by the way when I bought it last time, and it seems that there are still some left, let me look for it." The girl said as she reached out and rummaged through the fluttering cat-like pockets, "Mira, don't move, it's not this, it's not this, well, found it." The girl happily took out a transparent crystal pot from her pocket, the spout of the pot seemed to be steaming, the girl took out two more mugs from her pocket, placed one mug in front of Kennan, and poured the brown liquid in the crystal pot into it, "Guest, please try it, see if it is the kind of hot cocoa you are talking about, after all, there are one hundred and thirty-seven kinds of drinks called cocoa in the small shop, and I don't know which one the guest is referring to, so I chose Sophia's favorite one, I hope the guest will like it too." ”

Kennan put the mug to his lips and took a sip gently, with a hint of sweetness in the slight bitterness, the aroma of cocoa seemed to be mixed with the mellowness of milk, like the hot cocoa he used to drink before he crossed over, and it seemed that he had returned to the nights of all-night training.

The girl who called herself Sophia did not disturb Kenan, who was caught in the memory, but leaned back on the sofa, a jade hand gently supported her chin and looked at Kenan quietly, occasionally taking a sip of the hot cocoa in the cup, and the room fell into silence, except for the occasional crackling sound of burning wood in the fireplace.

I don't know how long it took, Kenan slowly woke up from his memories, "I'm sorry, I just remembered some of the past, by the way, I don't know-" Kenan paused at this point, as if to think about how to phrase it, "What is the store manager's name." ”

"My name is Sufia Ning Saturne VII, just call me Sophia, I am the manager of the Destiny Shop, welcome to you, if you have any needs, we will be happy to serve you. Speaking of business, the girl named Sophia got up and sat down, staring at Kenan with sparkling eyes.

"You seem to have mentioned the word 'we' just now. Kennan raised his own questions.

"Of course, the Destiny Store communicates with all worlds, and has branches in many planes, and the store where you are is is one of the branches of the Destiny Shop. ”

"So, what does the scope of the Destiny Store include?"

"The shop, of course, is buying and selling," the girl took a sip of hot cocoa and continued, "From all kinds of scientific and magical items to all kinds of knowledge, raw materials, as well as life, soul, and emotions are all within the scope of the transaction, of course, the small shop can also provide some customized services if needed, as long as the minimum price is paid." Even faith in the gods can be done. The girl said confidently.

"So what kind of payment do you charge? It can't be anything like gold coins, right?"

"The Destiny Store has approved the value points of all tradable items, and everything has its own value points as trading standards, so theoretically everything can be used as a monetary deduction value point, whether it is valuable items or knowledge, life and soul, can be used to deduct, gold coins can only be counted as raw materials in the Destiny Shop, and the value point is not high, about 5 pounds a value point. ”

"So, if I'm not in my original world, and if I want to return to my original world, what price do I have to pay?" Kenan asked cautiously, after all, his greatest wish was to go home, and how could he not be excited to see the opportunity in front of him.

"Is it a physical crossing or a soul crossing?" Sophia took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen from Mira's pocket, and recorded it carefully.

"It's supposed to be a soul crossing, because my body at this time is not my own original body. ”

"So can you describe the basic situation of the home world, such as the level of technology or magic, the composition of the world, and so on. ”

"It probably belongs to the world of science and technology, the level of development is probably the use of atomic energy, and the galaxy in which it is located contains one star and eight planets. ”

"Is the planetary low-level technological civilization, the scope is really large, can you extract a little soul origin information, the soul origin information generally contains the information code of the place of birth, which is very helpful for finding. "Of course, it is completely harmless to the customer, and this can be guaranteed by the credibility of the shop." ”

"Absolutely. Kennan readily agreed, after all, it was the closest trip to his hometown that he knew so far.
