Chapter 293: Battle Maid
Passing through the bustling streets, Lu left the car and came to the door of the hotel opened by Meow Lori's family, parked the Mokai Hummer in the open space on the side of the road with extremely skillful movements, followed by opening the car door, and said to the girl sitting in the co-pilot: "It's here, get out of the car, I'll take you to meet my teammates first, and then take a shower, change into clean clothes, and have a full meal."

"What about the job?" asked Vivien with a wink, innocent expression.
"Uh...... What will you do?" Lu Li asked a little embarrassed.
To be honest, he really couldn't think of anything that a thin little man like this about 1.2 meters tall could do, but he was afraid that saying it would hurt the other party's self-esteem, so he had to kick the ball back.
Vivien patted her completely undeveloped chest and confidently introduced, "I can do all kinds of household chores such as washing clothes, lighting fires, cooking, cleaning rooms, etc., and I am also good at fighting with magic fires. ā
"Can you still fight?!" Lu Li's eyes widened in surprise, a little unable to believe the fact that he had heard with his ears.
And he still couldn't figure it out, since the girl in front of him could use magic, why didn't she resist when she was robbed?
"Sure!!" said Vivien, raising her right hand and releasing a cloud of lilac flames.
Lu Li's pupils contracted suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed a trinket placed in front of the windshield and threw it in.
Moment!
The trinket, engulfed by the lilac flames, began to decompose little by little, and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of residue.
Obviously, it is not an ordinary flame at all, and it is not a burning phenomenon, but it is closer to a kind of decomposition, and as for what it is decomposed into, only God knows.
Out of curiosity, Lu Li randomly found a few garbage in the car and threw it in, and found that this kind of decomposition is not unlimited, usually related to materials, the more material is composed of a single atom, the easier it is to disassemble, and the more complex the polymer material, the slower it is to disassemble.
After figuring out the situation, he touched his chin and continued to ask, "Vivian, how many times a day do you release this flame, why didn't you release the magic fire to burn the people who robbed you of your bread?"
The girl sighed in frustration and replied, "You can make up to ten a day, and no more." In addition, the Demon Fire is derived from the power of the Demon King, so it is ineffective against sinners and monsters in the dungeon. It's not just the demonic fire, but most of the sinners have similar abilities after awakening. ā
"I see...... Lu Li nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Since you have such ability, why don't you go out of the city to hunt?"
"Because we dare not go out of the city! We are sinners pardoned by the guild, and we can barely get any protection in the city, but if we leave Kempera and go into the wilderness, eighty percent will be captured by passing adventurers and caravans, and sold as slaves in other countries. I know a couple of guys who couldn't stand their hunger and sneaked out of the city to hunt, only to leave the city and never come back. ā
As she said this, Vivien's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and she didn't know whether to empathize with her or feel sorry for her compatriots.
Lu Li touched the girl's head and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, I swear I will never let you starve again." ā
Vivien didn't seem to reject this intimate gesture, and nodded slightly, "Well, what is my job?"
"Hehe, be a cute battle maid!" Lu Li smiled and pinched the other party's face, picked up two boxes with compound bows, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the hotel gate.
"Battle maid?!" Vivien paused, her eyes flashing with a meaningful glint as she jumped out of the car and followed closely.
The two pushed the door one after the other and walked into the noisy hall on the first floor.
Since it is the only place in the whole of Kempera where spirits and spices are sold, it attracts a large number of adventurers and merchants.
Whether it's a bar counter or a regular round table, it's all full, and some people even prefer to drink standing rather than go anywhere else, because there is no strong liquor anywhere else.
A few merchants were sweating profusely at the moment and bargaining with the meow proprietress Karen, and after about a minute or two, the two sides reached an agreement, and the merchant sent a box of golden pagodas, carrying two small bags full of spices such as chili, pepper, star anise, tangerine peel, etc., and turned around and left satisfied.
There is no doubt that these fellows are traders who have come from out of town, intending to make a fortune by transporting the mysterious spices elsewhere.
You must know that in another world, spices are things whose price is comparable to gold, not to mention that these are the first time they have appeared, and they will definitely be sold at a good price.
"Hey, Karen, how's your business going?"
After seeing the merchants walk out of the door, Lu Li took the initiative to greet him.
Since the last time they were drunk, the invitation full of temptation, in order to avoid embarrassment, the two seemed to have amnesia at the same time, and no one mentioned it again.
"Meow?" Karen looked up in surprise, immediately put down the gold coins she was counting, and opened her arms to give a warm hug. "Hahahaha! See for yourself how hot our business is. Spirits, spices, and delicious food! I swear by my soul! Meow House is 100 percent the most profitable inn in town!"
"Then don't expand quickly, you see that the hall is almost unable to accommodate so many guests. Lu Li hugged the other party and teased with a smile.
Karen shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "We're talking! My neighbors aren't easy to deal with, and they won't give up their shop easily." Meow!"
As a central and god-given city with hundreds of thousands of adventurers, Kempera has a thriving business environment and extremely expensive land, and it is usually rare for operators to leave unless they are heavily in debt.
Lu Li undoubtedly knew this, and immediately suggested: "It's really not possible to move next to the station I just built, anyway, as long as there are spirits and spices, it can always attract countless guests." ā
"Hmm...... Let me think about it, meow!" Karen was visibly hesitant.
"Well, tell me when you've thought about it, and when the time comes, I'll ask Will for help in designing a huge luxury hotel that can accommodate at least five hundred guests. Oh, by the way, what about Lily and them?" Lu Li said, turning around and sweeping the entire hall on the first floor.
With his knowledge of dwarves, if this guy was in an inn, he would definitely sit in a prominent place, drinking and bragging about the adventures he had experienced in the dungeon.
Of course, most adventurers basically have this virtue.
After all, there are relatively few entertainment programs in another world, and it is estimated that there is nothing left except drinking and bragging.
Karen pursed the corners of her mouth and pointed to the top of her head: "Two hours ago, Ethelyn and Irena brought a few children who had just become adventurers, saying that they were going to celebrate, so they were all upstairs in the room. Meow!"
