Chapter 60: Uninvited Guests
The girls, to be exact, Perona and Mai Hongji happily went to the playground in St. Prut, 'Fiesta Town'.
Haoxue said hello to everyone and went to visit old friends in the backstreets of St. Prut.
Victor, accompanied by Robin, went to the department store to buy some samples of the new zippers.
The largest department store in St. Pruit's - [Rainbow Hypermarket].
"This guest! You can really know the goods~ What kind of new zippers do we have here! โ
On the fifth floor of the mall, the enthusiastic salesperson greeted Victor and Robin happily: "What style do you want?" This new style of resin zipper is particularly popular! โ
Victor studied the zipper samples on the counter before looking up and saying, "I want to see your latest prototypes." โ
The salesperson raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "How else can you say that you know the goods?" We really just got a new prototype here. โ
As he spoke, he turned and rummaged through the cupboard, then pulled out a box.
"Look, this is the art of the costume designer Witcom ยท Whitcomb M. Mr. L. Judson's latest invisible zipper, as long as you use it, you no longer have to worry about the chain teeth on your dress being seen. โ
Victor was visibly interested, he touched his chin and whispered to himself, "Yes...... Why didn't I think of it? Invisible zipper ...... Invisible ......"
Robin looked at Victor, who was visibly lost in thought, his big eyes narrowing with a smile. She turned her head to look at the salesperson and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, does your store sell this invisible zipper?" โ
The salesman nodded happily: "Of course!" Of course! Although it is a prototype work, it has already registered a patent and started trial sales at major stores. If you're only planning to buy this sample, offer 1000 berry. โ
Although the premium is at least 10 times higher than that of normal zippers, since Victor likes it, Robin naturally pays very happily.
It took a long time for Victor to come to his senses. He found himself sitting on a bench in the lounge area of the mall on the third floor, and Robin, who was sitting next to him, was reading a book.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was thinking about the fruit's abilities just now, so ......" Victor's apology was stopped by Robin's smile before he could finish his apology.
"It's okay, Victor." Robin smiled and said, "But can you accompany me to buy clothes?" I saw the promotion when I passed through the fourth floor. โ
Victor touched Robin's head, and only after her face quickly turned red did Victor smile and say:
"It is my pleasure, beautiful lady."

Backstreets of St. Prut, 'Mr. Betta' Tavern.
"Hazao? What are you doing here? โ
It was early afternoon, the fan on the ceiling of the tavern was slowly turning, and the scattered drinkers were gathered in pairs to make a few tables and chatting.
The tavern keeper was a chubby old man with a white beard, and when he was wiping his glass in boredom, he looked up and saw Haoxue walking into the tavern, and said happily and loudly:
"I haven't seen you in a few days! The old rules? โ
Hao Xue sat down in front of the bar, and the stool suddenly creaked, and he was almost collapsed by his huge body. He put his pipe on the bar and smiled at the barkeeper:
"Long time no see, old Bill. This time, the old man wants to drink a glass of tequila, so take out your treasure. โ
Bill, the tavernkeeper, stopped wiping his glass and looked at the snow with a fixed look. After a long while, he turned around and took out a half-half bottle of tequila from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for Hao Xue, handed it to him, and asked softly, "Haizatou...... Are you really going to sea again? โ
Haoxue pinched the wine glass and drank it all, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said with a smile:
"That's right. The old man met a young man who was vigorous, courageous, and powerful. The old man has made a decision to go to sea with him. โ
"You old fellow...... Isn't it because I owe this young man a favor? Old Bill knows Haoxue's character quite well: "Don't forget, why did you retire back then!" โ
"Originally, there was part of this reason." Hao Xue shook her head and lit the tobacco in her pipe: "But the more the old man comes into contact with this young man, the more he feels that he will definitely be able to make a great career." Bill, you also know the situation on Fish-Man Island, the situation has become more and more serious since Tiger's death. Even if Jinping voluntarily joined the Seven Martial Seas as a bridge between Fish-Man Island and the world government, the world was still full of discrimination against mermaids and fish-people. โ
Old Bill took out a crumpled cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, exhaling the smoke and sighing, "Yes...... Humanity's prejudice against us fish-man and half-fish-man is deeply ingrained. โ
Hao Xue smiled: "However, this young man has given the old man hope!" An opportunity to change the image of the Fish-People in front of the world! Bill, the old man really wants to help him! โ
Old Bill also smiled: "You old guy, are you still skilled?" Don't die! โ
The two had known each other for years, and Old Bill could tell from Snow's tone that he was ready to follow his captain to do something dangerous but significant. As a friend, Old Bill will not stand in the way, he will only open a bottle of good wine and congratulate his old friend on his decision to go to sea again.
Umizatou, let the world see how strong the master of fish-man karate is!

'Carnival Town' St. Prut's Central Amusement Park - [Carnival Amusement Park].
Perona, who was licking a 4-layer ice cream, suddenly became excited and stood still.
"Pepe, what's wrong with you?" Mai Hongji, who was wearing sunglasses, was sucking and drinking cold juice, and when she saw Perona suddenly standing in place, she asked curiously.
โโฆโฆ Can't be wrong! There must be bad women approaching my brother! Perona's eyes showed a fierce look, and she crushed the ice cream cone in her hand, and roared in a low voice: "Lord Pepe's defense radar has started to alarm!" Defend the Ghost Swarm and get ready to standby! โ
As she spoke, a large number of spherical ghosts began to emerge from Perona's side.
โฆโฆ Why didn't you see this kind of talent when you practiced seeing and hearing domineering? A cold sweat was left on Mai Hongji's head. But Perona in this state is very terrifying, and Mai Hongji had to hand the iced juice straw in her hand to Perona's mouth and soothe:
"Yes, yes, Pepe is the best. Come, drink some juice to suppress the fire~"
Perona subconsciously took a sip of juice, and then showed a happy smile:
โโฆโฆโฆโฆ It's so sweet~ Ahh How did my cone break? โ
At this time, a small figure stood in front of the main entrance of the department store 'Rainbow Hypermarket'.
"That's right here, isn't it?"
