Lin Meng got to work, her pale hands handling a handful of materials, and using more mushroom powder to make these potions than she had imagined, as they were small in size and of poor quality. Now she has 11 more vials, and there is enough powder to make more potions. She closed her eyes tightly as she did it, calculating in her mind so she could think better.

If the Mushroom Caps are worth 5 Orr each, then the value of these potions is definitely much higher than that. Assuming that Jubilee can continue to make his crystal vessels "for free", perhaps he is also working on how to make them more ...... Exquisite. Then she can polish them more beautifully. They can reduce raw material costs from the start. Plus, if there is no middleman, they manage to sell potions directly to people, then they get rich ?!

She even pondered having to buy some caps for the vial. Maybe some labels. Oh, and that means they need something to write, and of course some glue to put the label on the flask, and most importantly, they need permission to sell the thing, as well as where to sell it.

If Jubilee knew how cruel this town was, then the two of them needed to follow the rules. What if someone finds out she's cursed? What if someone finds out she's a witch? Will they hurt her? Will they hurt her new friend? Will the church hunt them down?

Lin Meng only realized now that she had never even seen the church here, and she always either walked on the street or stuck to Jubilee and entered the dungeon. The girl opened her eyes again and fidgeted a little at the vial full of the box next to her.

The Alchemist is buying her potion for 20 Orr per bottle. She is trustworthy in this town and her bottles look professionally handled and labeled. Would anyone buy a potion that looks inferior? If they have to build people's trust first, they have to sell their goods at a lower price. So...... 15 Orr per person? Lin Meng couldn't help but be a little irritable when he thought about the future. Starting with five hats, she thought she could make a dozen more potions. That would be...... 15 Orr multiplied by twelve potions is......

180 Orr?

When she did the math, her eyes lit up. They can get 90 Orr per person for just five orange mushroom hats. Compared to twelve, they are simply sold as is. Of course, there are some start-up costs involved. She looked at her dirty hands. They also need more charcoal. But it's cheap. Plus food, water, clothing, and all other everyday items. She shook her head after a moment of uncertainty.

No! There is definitely a profit! Even if a significant part of the 90 Orrs is spent on costs, their profit is still at least twice the value of just selling raw materials. It's a profitable idea as long as they do it right. Lin Meng was a little dizzy and continued to fill the remaining bottles. She has two other witchcrafting projects, although she doesn't quite know how to do that yet. There should be some kind of crafting menu option, right? Maybe when Jubilee returns, she'll have to ask Jubilee. But more importantly, maybe she can test her moon water ability tonight? Maybe she could do something with these potions to make them more valuable?

When she finished her work and covered the box with a cloth, a big smile never disappeared from her face. The potion doesn't have a lid, so it's not good in case something falls in. They will also need to buy cork.

She stood up to herself and wondered what she should be doing now to pass the time? She gave most of the money to Jubilee to buy for this successful experiment, so she didn't have anything to eat, Jubilee is now gone, and who knows how long? The girl looked around the empty room, wondering what exactly she was looking for. Just something to pass the time. Anything. But there is nothing here but a table and a bed.

"Ahh She looked at the pile of potions and came up with an idea. The old woman promised to teach her some alchemy if she came again. Maybe now is a good time to do so? Lin Meng thought about it, in fact, this may be the best time!

Lin Meng walked towards the door beamingly, eager to step into the sunshine outside and continue her beautiful day.

Listen to the faint voice in her ears, the whispers behind her. She stopped again in front of the door to reach for the handle. Her body trembled as she stood there, her feet staggering uncomfortably, though she didn't know why.

Something was bothering her.

What if she messes up too?

What if she says something she shouldn't have said? What if the old woman asked to see her menu pop-up? In case she ...... In case she ...... What to do?

Lin Meng was frightened and realized the weight of the mistake she had just made. The front of her robe was completely covered in a bright orange powder formed by grated mushrooms. Her hands and arms were covered in soot. Her eyes were wide open and her face was pale. What did she almost do?

She stepped back from the door in fear, withdrawing her trembling hand as she realized she had almost made another big mistake. She almost ruined everything again. This time it could be fatal. If only she had walked into the alchemist's house like this...... The old woman understood in an instant. Will they hurt her?

Lin Meng's eyes widened. If the worst happens, will she be fine? Can she be born again?

Will they also hurt Jubilee? She just doesn't understand the world at all, anything can happen. Lin Meng took a few steps back from the door, leaned against the wall behind him, slid down the wall, and fell to the floor.

She will not leave this place until she returns in Jubilee. This time she won't make any more mess, Lin Meng learned her lesson and assured herself.

"Hey!" Something grabbed her shoulders. Lin Meng's was dangling: "Stupid! Wake up. ”

Lin Meng opened his eyes in a daze, raised his hand and yawned, looking at the small figure standing above him.

"There's a bed here, you know?" Jubilee asked, looking down at the girl sitting on the floor.

"I'm waiting for you to come back!" Lin Meng rubbed her eyes and said, "I don't dare to go out without you!" ”

"Huh?" Jubilee was a little incredulous: "When did you become so obedient?" ”

"I'm sorry!" Lin Meng said with a smile and rubbing her hair with her fingers.

Jubilee tilted his head and looked down at her strange expression, but then seemed relieved and shrugged his shoulders. "Quick! Go downstairs and get the mushrooms off your body before anyone sees them. The guild is now empty. He turned to the door: "Come to my house and see me." Hurry up, we still have work to do. With that, he pushed the door open and left.

Lin Meng's eyes stared curiously at his distant figure, wondering what had happened. She stood up and stretched, then bent forward again and tried to touch her toes. Something suddenly popped out of her back again, startling her, but she thought she had slept on the floor twice in a row now. He sighed, patted her cheek, blamed herself for not scaring herself, and went downstairs to wash.

Half an hour later, Lin Meng walked out of the Adventurer's Guild and stepped into another sunny morning. She smiled and closed her eyes to let the sun shine on her face for a few moments. Spring here is really nice and the weather doesn't seem to be bad for a day. Opening her eyes again, Lin Meng looked down at herself, looking at the dress she had been wearing every day for nearly a week. It didn't look bad, but she wished it had been a little better. Jubilee knows tailoring, maybe he can do something for her? Even a shawl. She thought for a moment, then shook her head and walked with her arms crossed to cover the wet spots in front of her. She won't ask Jubilee for anything more until she pays off everything else.

Smiling and reprinting this promise in her heart, Lin Meng walked through the city and walked towards the dungeon, ignoring the occasional gaze. Soon, she found herself at Jubilee's home and knocked on the front door.

It opened after a few seconds, and Jubilee nodded to her, motioning for her to enter. He had a worn-out broom in his hand.

"Hello!" Lin Meng greeted him energetically and stepped into the dusty room.

"It's taken you so long?" Jubilee said indignantly, and then threw the broom at her.

The broom tumbled and fell between Lin Meng's hands, and she didn't catch it. Jubilee rolled her eyes and turned back inside.

"What is this for?" Lin Meng asked confusedly.

"Cleaning, of course! A sucker! Jubilee waved her to continue.

"Why?"

"Because the representatives of the Merchants' Guild are here tonight with approval papers!" Jubilee explains, "If your idea works, then we have to set up a shop somewhere, not in the Adventurer's Guild. So......" Jubilee stretched out his hand, pointed to the clearing, and said nothing more.

"Ahh Lin Meng's fingers clenched the broom tightly: "You want to be here!" This...... What a great idea! She threw her broom on the ground and ran to the Jubilee with open arms, "Thank you! ”

It's just that the figure rushed to the side, quickly avoided Lin Meng, and avoided her embrace in time.

Jubilee glared at the confused girl with vigilant eyes, "If you pounce on you without warning, I'll stab you!" He waved a crystal pillar at Lin Meng and said, but Lin Meng's performance seemed to be unimpressed by this threat.

"I'm going to stab you deeply!" The eyes behind the mask are wide open to indicate the severity of the problem.

"You're such a good friend, Jubilee!" Lin Meng smiled brightly and took a moment to wipe away the tears from her eyes.

When she said this, Jubilee's body trembled visibly. But then, he let out a long sigh again, lowered his arm, and stuffed the crystal column back into a tattered pocket, avoiding Lin Meng's gaze. "Yes! Be! Pal! Let's get to work,! ”

[(Jubilee) Your friend application has been accepted!] ]

[Friends] {Two needed}

"Huh?" Lin Meng looked at the small window, and then looked at the Jubilee who had already turned his back to her and started to walk up the stairs.

"You do it here. I'll go upstairs. After saying that, he left, leaving Lin Meng alone in the dusty room on the first floor. Her eyes slowly widened, and as events flashed through her mind, she realized that she had just officially made her first friend. True friends.

Her fists were clenched tightly together, and this was it! That's what she's been working towards! She felt an inexplicable warmth in her chest.

Having made up her mind, Lin Meng reached out and grabbed the broom from the floor, and began to clean with a determined gaze. She would make this place perfect. Lin Meng narrowed her eyes. She'll do it right this time. She finally took a big step forward. She's going to work hard to feel the feeling she feels every day now.

From now on, she will try to do her best every day.

Her friends were counting on her.

"Name?" The fat man's hands were swept over the large ledger he carried with him with a gorgeous pen.

"Jubilee!" The vague figure replied as it stood there with its arms crossed.

"Lin Meng!" Lin Meng replied next.

The fat man raised his eyes and looked at the two, obviously not surprised: "Adventurer, huh?" He turned his head and looked around at the empty but clean room. What are you going to sell? The representative of the Merchants' Guild asked curiously.

Lin Meng looked down at Jubilee and nodded. "Groceries. I'm a craftsman, so I'll craft some odd and bits from the dungeon items we got! Lin Meng replied truthfully. Such as trinkets, or processing materials and some other things. She recited the words that had been given to her word for word on the morning of the Jubilee.

"Hmm......" the man muttered indifferently. Walk around and take notes in his book.

"Are you the owner of this building? Do you know your property taxes? He asked, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"Yes, of course!" Jubilee replied.

The man let out another "uh-huh...... and continued to wander through the open area. He looked up at the stairs and asked, "How many of you are there?" ”

"It's just the two of us!" Lin Meng replied.

The man glanced at her, a little noncommittal.

Lin Meng felt that there was something wrong with his gaze, and he was a little restless.

"It is quite unusual to set up shop here in this particular square...... You know the risks, don't you? The man asked.

Lin Meng was a little puzzled. Risk......? What are the risks? She wanted to look down at Jubilee and ask with her eyes, and immediately a small, sharp elbow pushed the girl's leg.

Her attention returned to the man: "Yes! We know it well! Lin Meng replied calmly.

"Hmm......" the man replied nonchalantly and checked something on the book. Good. Keep in mind that in the unlikely event of any "incident", the Merchants' Guild will not be held responsible. ”

"We know!" Jubilee said goodbye to the fat man.

Lin Meng looked around a little confused.

"Hmm!" He said it again, his fingers running through his thin beard and looking around one last time, "Have you paid off your debt to the Adventurer's Guild?" ”

"Not yet!" Jubilee said.

"That's a problem. How do you plan to pay the authorization fee to the Merchant Guild? Of course, we require some form of security deposit, which is separate from your sales fee. The man thought, tugging at his mustache.

Lin Meng's mood fell to the bottom. They have nothing. Or at least she didn't, except for the 6 Orrs in the guild and some very shoddy potions.

"I can use her as a security deposit!" Jubilee replied.

Lin Meng looked at them in shock, ready to protest. Her cheeks bulged as she held her breath in anger. She would not accept Jubilee's offer.

"Hmm." He had that strange expression again, like he was satisfied with something.

Jubilee lazily raised a hand, pointed at Lin Meng, and just as the girl was about to say what she thought, she said, "You can have her!" ”

"Don't?!" Lin Meng shouted loudly with all his strength.

Jubilee poked her side with his elbow again: "It's going to be fine!" Don't be a crying child! We will only sell you if we are unable to pay it back. ”

"Hmm!" The man looked at Lin Meng with his hands crossed in front of him. His gaze seemed to be sure, but when Lin Meng glared back at him, he looked away: "I don't know if this will work...... " He opened the book and flipped through the pages, as if looking for something. "Honestly, it's like gambling." However, when he said this, there was a certain glint in the man's eyes. He looked back at the two of them curiously. “…… Are you all gamblers? ”

"What do you mean?" Jubilee asked very warily.

The man closed the book and sighed. "Honestly, I don't think it's going to work." Lin Meng felt a sharp pain in his chest. "But ......," said the man, "it's too harsh for me to stop two young, dreamy men before you have a chance." ”

The man showed a bright smile, but Lin Meng felt that something was wrong, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Let me give you an easy bet?"

Xi Nian and Lin Meng glanced at each other. The girl shook her head, as if she didn't want to agree, but Jubilee turned to face the man and said, "Go on." ”

The man pulled out 1 Orr from his pocket. Lin Meng squinted his eyes and watched. It wasn't like the other Orr she'd seen before, though. It is golden, larger and flatter. A skull is printed on one side of the coin.

"You adventurers like your verbal contracts, don't you?"

Jubilee nodded in response.

The man smiled even brighter, as if everything was under control: "This is the easiest game. We flip a coin. If you win, I'll give you your merchant license application. ”

Jubilee adjusted his mask and said, "What if we lose?" ”

The man raised his hand again and stroked his beard, as if thinking. But even Lin Meng could see that he was just pretending.

The fat man seemed to have decided: "Well, if you don't have a merchant license, I don't think you're paying a security deposit, right?" ”

Lin Meng clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

The man lazily raised a hand, feeling Lin Meng's anger and said, "This is very beneficial to you!" ”

Xi Nian rubbed the back of his head: "I ......" but Lin Meng grabbed his shoulders and pulled them back a step.

Lin Meng glared at the Jubilee aggrievedly: "No! It's too risky! ”

Jubilee tilted his head to the side and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "yes? So what? ”

"No! I disagree! Lin Meng whispered hatefully.

"I decided! That's it! After answering firmly, Jubilee turned to face the fat man.

Lin Meng gritted her teeth and let out a low complaint in her throat, trying to restrain her frustration. She couldn't let Jubilee do such a reckless thing. Even she knew it was a stupid idea. It's not worth it, is it? How could they just take such a risk? Fifty against fifty? Why is this happening in Jubilee? They can come up with something else. There must be another way to do this.

"Shall we start?" Jubilee said to that man.

The fat man clapped his hands happily: "Good! Very good! I love seeing the enterprising spirit in some young people! Some beliefs can go a long way, you know? Lin Meng looked at this fat man with disgust, which reminded her of a toad. She felt it was a trap and she had to do something.

But to do what?

Lin Meng looked around the room nervously. The man put his book aside, "I'm a fair man, here you go!" He reached out and handed the large coin to Jubilee. The big choices in life should be premised on trust. You can flip a coin yourself if you wish. He grinned. So that there is no need to doubt...... You know. ”

Jubilee took the coin from his hand and looked at it. Lin Meng stood up, her fists clenched even tighter, her heart beating rapidly, beads of sweat dripping on her clammy skin. She had to do something. She had to ......

Her eyes narrowed, staring at the Chamber of Commerce representative. With all her strength, she lifted one finger upward. Her fingertips were subtly pointed at the man, her hands still clasped tightly around her waist.

(Lin Meng) use: [Doom]

The window that appears when she uses the Doom spell is different from what she's used to. It is unusually pale and translucent, and disappears after a second. The other two didn't seem to pay attention, and as she stood there, a strange string of purple smoke emerged from behind her legs. She felt it cascading down her body, like a small snake crawling on her bare skin. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched it disappear into the cracks, into the floor beneath her.

Jubilee seems to be happy with this coin. "So if we win, will you keep the bet?"

"In my honor!" The man promised with open arms. His smile was so gentle.

Lin Meng narrowed his eyes, and a small purple snake came out of the floor behind him, like a worm crawling out of the ground on a rainy day. It explored left and right, feeling anything until it hit his boot and began to slowly climb up.

"Okay! Here we go! They all took a step back, and Jubilee glanced back at Lin Meng, but turned his gaze back to the front after a second.

"Good luck! Come on! With Lin Meng's encouragement, a crisp metallic sound sounded in the air, and his thumb flicked the heavy coin, causing it to spin upwards.
