Lin Meng rubbed his sleeves, looked down at the pile of coins on the table, and the two stood quietly for a while.

Jubilee walked back to her: "Come on." Let's make your bed. ”

"Huh?" Lin Meng looked at the blurred figure in surprise.

"We still have some wood left in our room!" Jubilee said as he walked up the stairs. Lin Meng watched him walk up and decided not to ask anything more. Her gaze fell directly on the pile of coins below her, on the counter. Eighty-six Orr. That's how much she earned that day. She picked up one of them and looked at it.

"It's all for this! Alas! Lin Meng looked at the coin in front of him and sighed.

"Are you coming?" The sound of Jubilee came from upstairs. In fact, she didn't need Jubilee to help her make her bed. However, she enjoyed working with Jubilee, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth as the two sat quietly in her room, piling up wood and collecting bits and pieces from the pantry.

Jubilee told her about his church visit, which was apparently not an equal meeting, but a lecture on "civic responsibility." In short, the merchants' guilds had an obligation to help the Church, that is, they had an obligation to help the Church, at least in the cardinal's view. The end result was that they would provide the church with a fixed number of potions as stock, a hundred bottles a week, and the pricing would be left to them to decide.

"Huh? Isn't that great? We charge them close to the cost so that they can enjoy full discounts! Lin Meng said to herself: "Due to our low cost, we still have money to make!" As he spoke, he fastened the planks to the frame structure of the bed.

"You idiot. You don't understand. They say we can 'decide'! That's just their high-sounding rhetoric! If we don't support them, they will stop people from buying from us! He sighed: "The priests have done a lot of good things in this city, and I admit it, they are all decent people, but what about the high-rises? ”

Jubilee shook his head: "This is politics, just like everywhere else." He pressed the plank with his hand to see if it could hold up: "These red-robed bastards, all these years, they only care about their own interests!" ”

Lin Meng also took advantage of his spare time to make a new batch of moon water. Jubilee watched curiously as she was busy.

Soon after, they continued to make beds, and Lin Meng extracted a few thin, bouncy planks from the longer planks and arranged them together. Soon the bed was made, Lin Meng looked at it happily, and wanted to give Jubilee a big hug. The answer, of course, is "NO" without hesitation.

It's not really a bed, but it's a luxury compared to sleeping on the floor. When she decided that she had time to visit the town again, she would definitely look for a place to sell mattresses.

As for the potions for the Church, Jubilee finally had to make the painful decision that they would "sell" a hundred small soul potions a week, and the symbolic price was only 1 Orr. On the face of it, it was a loss-making deal, but they needed to be sheltered by the church, and a hundred bottles a week was a good deal. Lin Meng's idea was recognized by the Jubilee. Although their supply of blue mushroom hats was tight, especially since they also needed to meet the needs of adventurers, Lin Meng thought it was okay.

"I've learned a lot of new things so far, but I have a new idea! Not a witch's thing! She raised her hand as she spoke, then covered her mouth and yawned, "I'll tell you what I think tomorrow." ”

Jubilee nodded, and now she was no longer interested in her thoughts, so the two went to sleep separately.

"When you say that word, be quiet!" When the Jubilee was in the room, he reminded Lin Meng in a low voice.

Lin Meng was alone in her room, surrounded by glowing medicine bottles. Lie on a hard bed frame. Uncomfortable as it was, she was glad that she pulled the blanket higher over her shoulders and neck, her eyes staring one last time into the dark corners of the room where darkness enveloped her.

"You won't get mine, demon ......"

Morning came quickly, Lin Meng was not caught by the demon, and got up with a bright smile to prepare for the new day.

Time flew by, and soon, she was seen sitting behind the counter downstairs, bending over a piece of parchment to draw.

"So early?" Jubilee said as he placed a cup of soup in front of her, apparently made of some kind of bone.

Lin Meng smiled and took the cup, thanked Jubilee Nian, and chose not to ask which bones it was made of in soup. She took a sip and it had a rich flavor that was very satisfying.

"Thank you." She looked down at the paper in front of her. "I kind of get it...... By the way, can we take a day off? I could go up one or two more levels! ”

Jubilee rolled her eyes: "Yes, yes, but let's stabilize everything here first." We've just opened, so we can't close now. ”

"Okay!" Lin Meng nodded, satisfied with Jubilee's attitude: "I'm thinking." We sell weapons, some potions, and accessories. But we're missing a big category! She exclaimed excitedly, "Hmm...... If you count food, there are two main categories. She pinched her chin and said, "Should we sell food?" ”

"No!" Jubilee said frankly and simply: "I've seen bite marks on mushroom monsters!" I don't eat anything you make! ”

Lin Meng replied angrily: "That's for survival!" ”

"yes!" He waved his hand in response, "So? What do you want to do? ”

"You mean, what else do we need to do?"

"Hmm...... This is your house. So I think you should sell something in the store too! It's a good feeling to make something that people love. She held up the cloth in her hand to signal the Jubilee.

"I'm not a real craftsman!" Jubilee said and waved her away: "Moreover, what I got from the dungeon, people have already bought it. ”

Lin Meng pursed her lips and squinted at her friend. "That's different! That's not something you made! Your support class is a tailor! ”

"Just to fix my own clothes for convenience, I'm not ...... I'm not very good at it! He explained as he stretched out his tattered sleeves, as if to emphasize his point.

Lin Meng shook his head: "The quality of my potions is also very poor, but people like them!" ”

Jubilee took a step back and waved a small hand in the air: "I don't really know how to do it." ”

The girl complained and pushed the fabric to the Jubilee and forced him to take it: "That's what I think, will you try it?" She leaned against the counter, her eyes wide open at the restless Jubilee. Rest assured! No problem~"

Jubilee muttered a few words in annoyance, but then relented: "Okay! What do you want me to do? ”

The beaming Lin Meng handed the painting to her friend: "Do this!" ”

“… Pack? ”

Lin Meng fiddled with the drawing in his hand: "It's not an ordinary bag!" As the girl continued, Jubilee stared at the paper, "A formal dungeon item store special tote bag!" We can write our names on the side of the fabric, and then, whenever someone buys a lot of things, we can market our tote bags together so that they are more convenient to carry! She winked and said mischievously, "Of course there are a few more Orr!" ”

Xi Nian rubbed his chin on the mask, as if thinking: "He does think that Lin Meng's statement makes sense...... but then he shook his head, and then stood up again: "But the adventurers already have bags, and no one will buy them again." ”

"Really! But haven't you noticed? Lin Meng leaned over excitedly: "Most adventurers don't carry bags all day!" She further explained, "A lot of times, when they're hanging out in town or coming to our store, they don't have a bag with them. In this way, it becomes inconvenient to buy a lot of things at once. Wouldn't it be nice that we took this into account for them! Plus, it's free marketing! If each bag had the name of our shop on it, they would take us around the city with our stuff and pay us instead! ”

Jubilee stared at her, and for a moment both stood there in silence for a while. Lin Meng's determined expression softened as she felt her partner's wary gaze looking her up and down. She interrupted her eye contact, looked down to the side and said, "I'm sorry......" she rubbed her arm and continued a little discouraged, "I thought you'd like the idea." ”

The room was quiet for a while.

A bright light struck, and Lin Meng just turned around, just in time to see a small cloth bag being thrown into her face.

"You're in charge of writing, and I'm always making a mess of ink!" Jubilee said to her.

The bag landed on the counter, and the two of them got to work.

"You really shouldn't drink so much...... Lin Meng rubbed the back of his head with his other hand, looked at the big coin in his other hand and persuaded: "Ten times in two days seems to be a lot." ”

"Huh?" With a wave of his hand, the cardinal wizard pushed the girl's hand back to her chest and motioned for her to accept the coin. "It's okay!"

"Can the effects still stack?" Lin Meng asked nervously.

"No, but it resets the timer every time. Honestly, I just love the taste! The Red Wizard bent down to get the potion, held the pouch up, and said, "For an extra 5 Orr, the total price of five bottles of Little Soul Elixir has risen from 95 Orr to 100 Orr." They taste really good, though! ”

"Ah...... Is it? Lin Meng smiled, realizing that since the first antidote, she had actually never actually tried to drink any of the potions she had made herself.

"Are you going well in the dungeon?"

"Yes!" The Red Wizard looked at the little bag and said excitedly, "I'm on the thirteenth floor now!" I've got plenty of mana! To hell with those ghosts! Her eyes were filled with pride and she waved goodbye.

The moment she walked out, she opened the first bottle of soul potion and began to gurgle and drink it on the way to the dungeon.

Ghost? Lin Meng suddenly had a restless thought. Jubilee walked over, holding a large pile of Lin Meng's potion in his hand and placing it on the shelf: "We don't need to talk so much to them!" ”

"Isn't it good? Drinking too much potion? Lin Meng asked curiously, and at the same time, the picture of watching the floating ghost appeared in his mind.

"Depends on how they're made. Drugs have side effects, you know? Jubilee said as he put the goods on the counter. But we are businessmen. It's our job to sell things. What people do with these things has nothing to do with us. ”

They shrugged and planned to go upstairs again to restock: "If she wants to buy a rope to hang herself, that's not our problem!" His words were rather cold: "As long as she pays first." ”

Lin Meng rubbed her arm, not knowing how she felt about it. Maybe it's okay? The Red Wizard is the only one who seems to have a special taste for potions. Maybe she really likes the taste? Lin Meng looked at a bottle beside her, tilted her head curiously, lifted the cap and took a sip.

+Status Effect: [Small Soul Potion] (Normal)

Her eyes widened as she held the bottle to her arm and examined it. "It really tastes like...... Blue! ”

"Don't waste any more goods!" Jubilee yelled at her.

Lin Meng stretched out her blue tongue in protest: "Woo woo~!" ”

Business is a little cold today, although it is better than yesterday. But most of the time, Lin Meng just fiddled with her hands and played.

"You can go for a walk if you want." A voice came from her side: "It shouldn't be very busy today, why don't you go outside and book a mattress by the way, and I'll handle the things here." ”

"Are you sure?" Lin Meng was a little worried, but Jubilee just waved her hand to let her leave. The girl smiled and thanked her friend, grabbed the heavy backpack full of coins and lifted it over her shoulder: "Okay, I'll be back in a moment!" ”

Jubilee told her where she had to go to find the mattress, although Lin Meng said that she could find it even if she didn't tell her.

Lin Meng walked out of the store and greeted the bright sunshine outside.

The sun seemed to be back at the forefront of the sky, as if all the rain clouds had completely disappeared from this world, leaving only a pure blue sky. It's a hot spring day, but the humid air of the previous few days seems to have stayed a little bit. She smiled and took a deep breath, stretching on tiptoe as she let out a painful sigh as she turned right to the square. It's really time to buy a new mattress. Her bag was full of coins, heavy and clanging as she walked towards the plaza at the front door.

Lin Meng took a deep breath and got ready, walked into the gloomy building of the Adventurer's Guild, directly immersed in the sad atmosphere, trying not to let the melancholy wail in the song distract her, and walked straight to the counter.

The bartender wiped his glass as usual, looking up at her, the expression on his face now seemed a little more familiar. Lin Meng smiled and nodded at her, opened the bag, put two large gold coins on the counter, and pushed them in front of the scarred bartender. The latter picked it up and checked it, then looked at Lin Meng and nodded.

Repaid - [{ 2000 } Or] !

{ 7998 Orr Unexpired}

The bartender waved kindly, and Lin Meng turned to leave. Obviously, a large silver coin is worth 100 Ol. Larger gold coins are worth 1,000 each. There are other currencies that are even more valuable, but for most of the "lower classes" these are far beyond their means and are hardly in circulation. The large gold coin with a skull that the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce tried to deceive them was worth 10,000 orre.

After leaving the guild and saving about half of the money, Lin Meng looked at the bustling square, chose to go to the bakery to chat with the baker, and then bought a piece of cake back for her to share with the jubilee. She couldn't help but notice that the tall baker giant looked a little strange in front of her today...... It's so kind and docile. His optimistic voice seemed suppressed. Scratching her cheeks and with a curious look in her eyes, the girl turned away, not forgetting to wish him a good day.

"Maybe he's not feeling well?" She thought for a moment, then turned to the tailor who sold her new robes.

As she stepped inside, a small bell jingled.

The drab sweet, smoky air of the tailor's shop surrounds her. Lin Meng stopped at the door, and she felt that twenty-four faces were all turning towards her, and they all stared directly at the door, staring directly at her.

"Hey! Hello......" Lin Meng said kindly to the mannequin.

Getting no response, she nervously walked to the counter.

The strange lanky man came out from behind the curtains: "Hello, back so soon?" He asked her curiously.

Lin Meng stated her intention to come here, even though she thought it was really strange that a tailor would make a mattress. The tall man nodded, jotting everything down in his notebook. They discussed materials and hardness, and Lin Meng highlighted how she had recently experienced back pain from hard work. The man nodded, continued to write, and said he could make this thing.

"Uh...... I don't know how much it costs......" the girl asked, scratching her cheek.

The tall man closed the notebook and took her coins.

Purchased: 1 x [Single Mattress]

{Flower fiber and harpy feather blend (medium softness)} (normal)

Pay:

[{ 400 } Orr] !

"Don't worry. We know how big your bed frame is! He nodded to her as he spoke, waved goodbye and returned to the back room.

"It'll be there until you go home." Another word came from the back of the room.

Lin Meng looked around, looked at the whole room, and chose that it was best to leave this strange place quickly, and then she quietly retreated to the door, and then looked at the mannequin in her wary eyes as she left, and quickly closed the door.

She breathed a sigh of relief when the sun hit her skin again. Now that it's so warm again, she misses her old robes a little. While it was embarrassing for her to show so much skin, at least it felt good when the warm sun hit her.

She thought that was all she wanted to do today, so she started walking towards the store. It was already close to the afternoon hours, and this was when the traffic usually seemed to have recovered a little again, so she shouldn't have left Jubilee alone for too long. And she's now spent most of her money, leaving about 350 Orr from the original 3,000 Orr. In her eyes, this is obviously a huge amount of money, and she needs to earn more. Many, much more!

The only thing to be happy about was that her bag was much lighter, and Lin Meng began to walk back, deciding that it was time to go home. She paused, thinking about the word that had just come to mind. 'Home'. A finger tapped her chin and smiled happily! 'Home'?

Lin Meng's steps are a little faster now, and there is a little more spring in her steps, and she is eager to return to the place she calls 'home'.

It's just that when she passed through the side street, her eyes couldn't help but sweep over. She stood in front of the street leading to several houses, and on the other side of the path sat an alchemist's shop. There was not a glimmer of light behind the dark windows.

Looking at Donata's shop, the girl was a little uneasy. She looked back at the road. But then turn right and look at the dark window. She swallowed her saliva and walked down the side street, her curiosity once again taking possession of her heart, and she resolutely walked towards the lifeless building.

Lin Meng pressed his face against the glass window of the dark alchemist's shop. Despite the fact that it was bright outside during the day, there seemed to be no light in the shop, and it was alone at the end of the alley. As she could see, there was no movement in the building. No lights break the darkness! No sound breaks the tranquility! Nothing! All she heard was the hustle and bustle of the city around her, contrasting with the gloomy cottages, with a thick black shadow filling the interior of the building.

She swallowed. Although, maybe she's just a little over-imaginative?

"It's just an empty room...... Lin Meng muttered to herself, turning around and coming to the door of the store. She stood just a few meters outside the door, watching the crowd running down the street outside the alley. She was the only one standing outside the door. It seems that everyone else in the city knows that the alchemist Donata is no longer open.

Lin Meng had already put her hand on the handle of the front door before she knew what she was doing.

It's locked.

Lin Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as she was about to leave. Her eyes saw that around the corner of the building, near the wall, was a small, slender rectangular basement window.

She wanted to leave, go back to the store, and tell Jubilee about her pleasant shopping experience. But just as she thought so, she was already on her knees, her hands pressed against the glass.

There were no fixed windows, only a foot from the street, shakily open, squeaking quietly, as if whispering to her that she could come in. "'It's okay! No one! In! Come in......"

She didn't know why she was doing this, Lin Meng took off her bag and squeezed in through the window with difficulty. Her new physical condition, which she is still in the adaptation stage, is not fully accustomed to this movement of squeezing through tight spaces. For the Jubilee, it might be much easier. She landed on a wooden table not far away, and she touched a few books to the floor. Lin Meng turned around and grabbed her bag and pulled it behind her, leaving only a crack in the window. Just a little, just enough for her to get back outside quickly when necessary.

The basement has a new look. It looks like some kind of alchemical laboratory. The basement was about the size of Jubilee's bedroom, but it was filled with shelves, glass vials, beakers, glass bottles filled with various liquids and floaters, dead plants suspended in some kind of unrecognizable slime, and all sorts of the like to fill the space. Lin Meng was a little scared because she saw something like an eyeball swirling in the clear liquid. She wasn't sure if it was human, and the room was hung with all sorts of dried plants.
